Promise of The Heart
Intro: Geez this is kinda long, and I'm not even halfway through!! Have I got you all puzzled? Good. This will have a happy ending, and this is Rukato, Lee/Juri. Imagine the ending, which is Ruki in a dress *hint hint* heehee, happy reading (and do review please, flames are welcome). Oh yes, the digimon featured here only has one attack, but I added some I made up...
BlackGatomon: Oh and DC, you are correct.

**Part 5**
Takato stared at the digimon in amazement. "But how is that her?"
Lee stared at him, and then spotted something. "Takato watch out!!"
Takato snapped back to reality. "What?" he blinked and saw a lightning bolt stretch down toward him at the speed of light from the digimon. Takato's eyes widened, and he did the first thing that came to his mind.
Bio Merge Digivolution
Gallantmon quickly shifted his shield to block the lightning bolt. The pressure pushed him a few feet, grinding his feet into the ground. Gallantmon turned to Lee. "This guy's as strong as a mega!!!"
Lee whipped out his D-arc and pointed it at the digimon on top of the tower. "Oh come on you stupid thing!!" he cried as it fizzled. Finally a name and picture shimmered into view. Lee's eyes widened. "Hey Takato?"
Takato turned. "What?"
"You might want to take a look at this..." said Lee.
"Doumon," read Takato off Lee's d-arc. He and Guilmon had de bio merged and were looking over Lee's shoulder. "Ultimate level. Attacks are Demon Gate Escape and Kitsune Mimic?"
"Kitsune Mimic," said Lee. "It's referring to itself. It's a fox, and I guess it can mimic any digimon attack." Takato blinked. "It mimicked Taomon's attack, Talisman of Light! Just to throw us off guard!"
"He's good," said Terriermon. Lee smiled. "But we're better."
"Let's make this digimon wish he never kidnapped our friend!!" cried Takato, clapping on his goggles. "Ready?"
Lee was about to respond when something exploded right in front of them, throwing everyone in different directions. Lee groaned as he got up. "What was that?"
Doumon laughed as he glided down to them. "Welcome tamers..."
"Doumon," said Lee.
"Just what are you planning to do with Ruki?!" cried Takato, fists clenched. Doumon smirked.
"So glad you asked..." said Doumon, still smiling. "But I'd hate to give everything away... so you'll just have to be patient... and I'll show you."
"Well we aren't going to wait around," cried Takato. His eyes narrowed. "And if you're planning to hurt Ruki then you'll have to get through me first..."
Doumon smiled. "Oh... I'm being threatened... should I be scared?"
Lee was also angry at this Taomon look alike. "Yes..."
Doumon landed. "Give me your best shot..."
"Gladly!" cried Takato. "Bio Merge Digivoltuion!!"
A cloud of dust swirled upward, blinding Lee and Terriermon for a second. The dust cleared and Gallantmon stood before the confident looking Doumon. Gallantmon raised his sword. "Give up Ruki..."
Doumon pulled out his staff. "Demon Gate Escape!!" The attack hit Gallantmon right in the chest, but not through, luckily. Gallantmon got up, holding his chest in agony. "Is that the best you've got?!" Takato cried, trying to hide his pain. Doumon blasted him again, this time throwing Gallantmon off his feet and into a wall.
"Hey Takatomon?" said Guilmon. "We need a plan..."
"Lee!!" cried Terriermon. "They need help!"
"I know, I know!" said Lee, fumbling with his D-arc. Terriermon jumped off Lee. "Then what're we waiting for?"
"I'm trying to figure out how to get in there," said Lee, pointing to the tower. "If I can find out, Gallantmon can go inside while we distract Doumon."
"Oh," said Terriermon. "That's a good plan."
"Got it!" cried Lee.
"Got what?!" cried Gallantmon, trying to shield himself from the downpour of red cards that Doumon had sent out.
"Takato," said Lee. "There's a weak spot on the tower, it's near the top... Terriermon and I will distract him while you go in and get Ruki got it?"
"Hurry up and bio merge Lee!" cried Takato. "I can't hold him much longer..."
Bio merge Digivolution
"Hey, card head!" cried MegaGargomon. Doumon turned with a menacing look on his face. MegaGargomon smiled. "Catch."
"Giant Missile!" they cried, and the two huge missiles hit their target with no problems. Doumon screamed in horror and flew up into the air. "Alright!" cried Terriermon.
Doumon, even though sorely damaged, grinned. "Giant Missile!" he cried, releasing two balls of light that resembled MegaGargomon's missiles.
"What the?!" cried Lee, and just barely dodged it in time.
"How'd he do that?" cried Terriermon.
"Kitsune Mimic," said Lee. "He's copied our powers!!" Lee turned to see Gallantmon still standing there, seemingly dumbstruck. "Takato get out of here!!"
"But what about you?" asked Takato.
"We'll be fine," said MegaGargomon. "Go and get Ruki!!!"
Gallantmon nodded and ran up toward the tower. They looked up to see a partially dented spot near the top of the tower. "How are we going to get up there?" said Guilmon.
"Gallantmon Crimson Mode!"
Guilmon smiled. "Oh yea, that works."
Gallantmon flew up toward the weak point. "Ok," said Takato. "I don't know how strong this thing is so we're going to have to blast it hard ok?"
"Whatever you say Takato," said Guilmon smiling.
"Royal Saber!" they cried, coming down on the point. The crystal substance shattered, breaking off the top half of the tower. Takato stared in surprise. "Whoa..."
"Takato?" said Guilmon. "We have a problem..."
"Oh great it's closing back up again!" cried Takato. "We're going to have to fly for it, on my signal... 1...2..."
"3!" cried Guilmon, and Gallantmon dodged the flying shards that were morphing back together, and managed to get into the tower, right before it closed up again...
Doumon saw Gallantmon shatter the tower, allowing himself to be hit. Doumon got up and growled. "I'll be back for you later!" Doumon began to fly off, except MegaGargomon grabbed him. "Oh no you don't!" cried MegaGargomon.
Doumon waved his staff and blew MegaGargomon away, and disappeared.
"Oh great," said Terriermon. "Now where'd he go?"
"The tower!" cried Lee. "He's going to get Gallantmon!" MegaGargomon sped toward the tower. [Takato, hurry up... I hope Doumon doesn't get to Ruki first....]
* * * *
The Taomon look alike stood before her, smiling. However, for some reason he didn't look like he was real, more like a hologram. "I am Doumon..."
"Doumon?" she asked, cocking her head.
"Yes," said Doumon, still smiling. "And you... you are the key to my plan... my plot for ultimate power..."
Ruki backed away. "Leave me alone."
Ruki suddenly felt a shooting pain through her gut. She cringed and fell to the ground. "Ughh..." She stared at him as he smiled, his staff on the ground.
Ruki winced as she felt as if she was being squeezed to death. Doumon had his hand out of the sleeve, slowly making a fist. Ruki finally screamed in pain and Doumon released her. "No one turns their back on me..."
Ruki lie there, still in pain. She looked up at him and grinned. "You'll never defeat me and you'll never get your power... I won't let you and neither will my friends..."
Doumon raised his staff. "How dare you speak to me like that!"
Ruki was still smiling. "What's the matter? It's true..."
Doumon stared hard at her and let go of his staff. "Very well. If that's the way you want to play..." Doumon grabbed her around the neck and held her above him. "You will give me your power! Your link with renamon is closer than anyone else's, so you must have more power!"
Ruki gasped for breath. "N-No! Never! I don't even know how to access it, and if I did I wouldn't give it to you, you Taomon imposter!"
Doumon's eyes narrowed. Suddenly, he became solid and dropped her. "Ah... my body has returned..."
Ruki stared up at him in shock. "What?"
Doumon smiled. "My real self was-
He stopped himself. "I was a hologram when I came to see you... while my true self was off destroying your beautiful home..." He suddenly got an idea and turned away. "Pity..."
"What?" asked Ruki, her hands on her neck, trying to ease her pain.
"Well now," said Doumon, turning to face her. "It's a shame... your goggle friend isn't even here, he and his new wife are not even attempting to save you... and neither are the rest of your friends..."
"You're lying!" she cried, punching him in the face. Doumon grew angry, but kept his cool.
"No..." said Doumon. "I'll show you..." He waved his staff again and the floor became glass. Ruki looked down to see a wedding taking place, the halls of a church decorated in silk ribbons. The aisle was lined with a red carpet, and all her friends and their families sat in the seats, watching three people at the end of the hall near an altar. She recognized the two people near the altar, facing each other. Ruki's eyes widened and tears welled up in her eyes. "No..."
Juri and Takato kissed and ran down the aisle together, looking extremely happy with one another. The scene faded away and Doumon smiled. "See?"
Ruki sat staring in space at the now darkened ground. A single, glittering tear ran down her cheek. "Takato..."
Doumon smiled and white threads attached wrapped around Ruki, suppressing her, but she did not notice. Ruki still stared, depressed. (I'm all alone... where are you Renamon? Takato? Why...) Doumon turned and walked away into the darkness, leaving her to wonder in sadness.
The threads grew faster and tied her to a machine, a small wire reaching out and attaching itself to her neck. She did not even notice, she was too busy in her own little world.
A smile curved on Doumon's lips. "Perfect... heh heh heh..."
* * *
Renamon had also gotten into the tower, but from a different angle. She hung in the darkness, turning around and around. "Ruki!! Ruki! Where are you?!"
She sighed and sat down. 'It's surprising that you can even sit in this place...' she thought. She looked up sadly. 'Ruki... where are you?' A tear ran down the side of her face. 'One moment you're happy... the next you're sad and you feel alone... and now...' She hugged her legs. 'I'm alone... we're separated, and I feel empty...' She closed her eyes. 'Does that mean that you are... gone?'
Something materialized behind her. Renamon blinked and whirled around, Doumon standing before her, looking down. "Renamon..."
Renamon stood, eyeing her enemy carefully. "What do you want?"
Doumon sneered. "Nothing gets by you does it?"
Renamon growled and Doumon drew closer. "Now that I have my power source... I need someone to carry out my careful plans..."
"Where is Ruki?" asked Renamon calmly, but her whole body was tense.
Doumon smiled. "Why she is here... do not worry, she is safe... for now..."
"What do you want with us?" said Renamon, not knowing whether to attack or to stay put. Doumon made a face.
"The only thing that should concern you..." he began. He smiled evilly and paused. "Is me... watch your back..."
Renamon stared in silence as Doumon disappeared. Renamon turned over in her head what he had just said. "Hmm..."
She began to walk in silence, hoping the direction she was moving in was the correct one. All of a sudden a chill ran up her spine... something was up. 'Something is not right here...'
She turned around, but saw nothing. She continued to walk carefully through the darkness, when suddenly something grabbed her arms, legs, and face. Renamon's eyes widened as she was pulled into an invisible wall, but her claws clamped down on the sides of where she was being pulled. She dug them into the sides of the wall and tried to pull herself outward. "It is no use Renamon!" cried Doumon's voice, and with one quick pull, she was pulled into the darkness. 'Ruki!!!'
Doumon held her firmly as she struggled to escape. "Thought you could get away from me last time eh? Heh heh heh..."
Renamon managed to pull her arms free and grabbed the hand that had a grip on her face. Doumon smiled and dug his claws into her face. "You almost ruined my careful plans little kitsune... almost..."
Renamon's eyes widened and she remembered. She clamped down on his hand with her teeth and he let go. "Plans?"
Doumon howled in pain at the bite and rubbed it tenderly. "Yes... that is why I took the bear..."
"You mean almost took the bear," grinned Renamon. Doumon growled. "If it wasn't for you the Tamers would be history by now!"
Renamon sneered. "Aww... too bad." She remembered very well what had happened.
Renamon gripped the bear in her paws as she ran down the streets of Shinjuku. Ruki was still at the airport with her mother and had told Renamon to tell Takato of her arrival. 'No problem...' she thought. She stared down at the little blue bear in her hand, then returned her glance to the road.
"Almost there." She leapt onto the top of a building and stopped dead in her tracks. Before her stood Doumon, his eyes glittering in the moonlight. "What do you want?"
"I am Doumon..." said Doumon, sneering. Renamon got a firm grip of the ground as she prepared for battle. "Give me the bear little kitsune..." he said warningly. Renamon jumped up. "Diamond Storm!"
All the flashing crystals were closing in on Doumon, but he shielding himself and they dug into the shield, destroying it. Doumon growled.
Doumon grinned and jumped, coming down on Renamon with his staff. Renamon jumped out of the way, still holding the bear. Doumon landed and stared coldly at her. "Give me the bear..."
Renamon cocked her head and turned her glance to the bear. "The bear? Why would you want the-
Doumon dove at her and ripped the bear from her claws or, almost. He had gotten the bear, but not the nameplate. Doumon snarled. "I'll get you later!!"
With that he disappeared, and Renamon was left with the nameplate in her hands. She sighed. "Ruki will not like this..."
Renamon and Doumon stood staring at each other. All of a sudden there was a crash somewhere else in the building. Doumon smiled. "Your little friends have arrived, time for me to greet them..."
"No!" cried Renamon, about to run after him. Tiny wires came out of nowhere and suppressed her. "Let me go!"
Doumon laughed and disappeared. "I'll come for you later... little kitsune..."
