A Power From The Past

Last Time: While Rika & Renamon was on their way home, they saw a guy who was bullying an 8 year old kid named Tyson. He said that he is an orphan on a count that guy named Reiko killed his father. So Rika helped him to put the guy behind bars. But when things got personal between Rika & Reiko, Rika transformed & put him in his place. After helping Tyson, Rika & Renamon headed home, where Rika reunited with beloved boyfriend, Takato!

Episode 4: The New Tamer On The Block

Takato, Rika, Jeri, & their digimon waited at Henry's house to see if he was home. "Well?" asked Rika, "Where is he?" "He ain't in there," replied Jeri, "His dad said that he & Terriermon are at the gym." "The gym?!" said Takato with a weird look on his face.

---walking towards the gym---

"What would he be doing in a gym?" Takato asked. "He's a brainiac, go figure!" said Rika. A few minutes later, they made it towards the gym. "Hey, guys!" said Takato, "I go get'em! And the digimon need to stay here because I don't want people drawing attention!" Once Takato got in the workout room, he saw Henry & Terriermon working out the punching bag. As he & Terriermon were working out, Takato walked up to him with a staring look. "What The Heck are you doing?" he said as Henry sweatdropped. "I'm trying to get my stuff quick," Henry said. "Ohhhh, that's right! You ain't getting none with Jeri! Go ahead, burn it off!"

---back outside---

"Why did you tell him that?!" yelled Jeri as she slapped Takato in the back of the head. "What I told him was the truth!" replied Takato. "That right!" said Terriermon helping out. "Hey!" said Henry, "Momentai, alright!" Rika was just laughing at the three. Suddenly, Jeri looked at her watch & said, "Guys, I got to go! Kazu's helping me at the house today with the business." "Okay, see ya!" said Henry as he kissed her goodbye. "Let's go, Leomon!"

"What do you guys want to do?" asked Henry. "Let's go the arcade," suggested Rika, "It's better than doing nothing!" "I guess you're right," said Takato, "Besides, there hasn't been a single digital field around here since we defeated Controliamon." Suddenly, Guilmon, Renamon, & Terriermon had a strange feeling. "Takato," Guilmon said, "I'm smell a digimon." "Looks like dino breath is right about that!" informed Terriermon. "No doubt about it!" said Renamon, "But it looks like.... it's in trouble! Follow me!" The Tamers, Guilmon, & Terriermon followed the fox digimon around a corner where a blue digimon wearing white-striped, red shoes with buckles is being bullied by three thugs. "We've got to save him!" warned Renamon as she & the other digimon headed toward the thugs until their Tamers stopped them. "Wait a second guys!" said Henry. "If you go over there, you'll cause more trouble!" informed Takato. "Let us handle it!" said Rika. But before they can, someone said, "Hey!!" The Tamers, digimon, & the thugs all turned their heads to see a young boy. The boy was the same age as the Tamers, he was wearing brown Nike boots, red pants with a black belt, a sleeveless black shirt, a silver-like jacket, and a red headband on his head. To top it all off, his hair was black & had a sword.

"Leave the digimon alone!" the boy said. "Oh yeah?! Who gonna stop me?!" said Thug #1. "Me." the boy said calmly. "We'll see about that!" said Thug #3, "Let's get'em boys!" The three thugs ran towards him with relentless force. The boy reached for his sword & with one strike scared away the thugs. He sheathed the sword back in his scabbard & checked to see if the digimon was okay. "Thanks," said the blue digimon. "No Problemo!"

The Tamers & the digimon ran over to the boy. "Hey!" said Takato, "That was some nice moves!" "Thanks!" "Yeah, if it wasn't for you," Henry started, "that little digimon would of been toast!" "Hey....um....Takato," said Guilmon. "What is it, Guilmon?" asked Takato. "Look what he has on his belt!" informed the red digimon. Takato looked at it & saw.... "I- it's a D-Power!" he said, "A SILVER D-POWER!"

"What?!" yelled Rika, "You he's a Tamer?!" "No way!" yelled Henry. "I guess my secret is out," said the boy, "And this blue digimon is my partner; His name is Sonicamon." Rika looked at her D-Power for the info. "Well, he's on the level, guys," she said, "Sonicamon; rookie level; hedgehog, data type; special attacks: Sonic Wind & Triple Spin."

"That's right," said Sonicamon, "Not only am I his digimon, but I'm the best good looking here!" "Yeah right!" said Terriermon as Sonicamon stared at him with narrow eyes, "The only thing you'll be good looking at is in a girls store for dolls!" "Watch it, Bugs Bunny," Sonicamon yelled out, "or you'll liable to get hurt!" "Sez who?!" "Sez me!" Both of them gritted their teeth & stared at each other as lighting came from both of their eyes. While that was going on, The Tamers sweatdropped. "Hey!" said Henry, "You look familar....Have you been here long?" "Uh, no," the kid said, "I just moved here 2 days ago from America." "Well he doesn't look familar to me," informed Rika, "I've never seen him before!" "Wait a minute!" said Takato, "Weren't you at the Intercontinental Digimon Card Game Tournament?" "Uh, yes! I was" said the kid. "I knew it!" yelled Takato. "What are you talking about, Gogglehead?" asked Rika. "Guys! This dude is the Intercontinental Digimon Card Game Champion!"

"What?!" yelled Henry, "You're kidding!" "It's true though," the kid said. "Come to think of it..." said Rika, "I did remembering hearing of a kid winning the championship 4 years ago...." "Well, allow me to introduce to myself, I am Kaiba Yugo, The Former Intercontinental Champion!" "Former?" said Takato, "Well, why did you call yourself that?" "Well, a year after I became champion..." said Kaiba, "I wanted to enter again, but I busted my leg, so I wasn't able to compete. The next year, I went for the World Championship, but I lost in the semifinals." "Believe me, Kaiba," said Rika, "It ain't easy defending your title!" "Hey! I've got an idea!" said Kaiba, "Why don't we have our own little tournament?" "Say what?" asked Rika. "Yeah, just the four of us! What do you say?" "I guess it's a good idea," suggested Henry. "Yeah," said Rika seconding that, "It's better than going to the arcade!" "Alright then! It's agreed!" said Takato.

---Near A Grassy Area--- (10 minutes later)

"Uh, Kaiba?" asked Takato, "What are we doing here?" "Takato," Kaiba started, "We're gonna use this as our battlefield! The rules are simple: It's No Holds Barred, you can use as many modify cards as you want. To Win: You gotta knock your opponent's digimon, but if you destroy the digimon, you're automatically disqualified! We'll play three rounds. Round 1: Takato vs. Me! And Round 2: Rika vs. Henry! The winner of those two rounds will meet in the third round, got it?" All three of the Tamers nodded.

----Round 1----

Guilmon & Sonicamon faced-off first. "You may begin when ready!" ordered Henry. "Go, Sonicamon!" "Let's do it, Guilmon! Attack!" "Pyrosphere!" The fireball barely missed Sonicamon as he moved out of the way. "Sonicamon!" yelled Kaiba, "Fight back!" "Triple Spin!" Sonicamon curled up into a ball & his spines acted like blades, making him look like a spinning saw. He headed towards Guilmon at a fast-moving pace. "Oh No!" Rika said, "Dino-boy's gonna get hit!" (Oh No, he's not!) thought Takato.

"Digi-Modify!" "Hyperspeed Activate!"

And with that Guilmon moved out of the way with lighting-fast speed & circled Sonicamon. The Hedgehog Digimon couldn't do anything because Guilmon was moving so fast, that he made after-images of himself. "Alright! Gogglehead might win this thing after all!" said Rika. "Keep it up, Guilmon!" yelled Henry. A worried Kaiba had to do something. "Sonicamon!" he yelled, "Try not follow him! Stay focused & you will find him!" Sonicamon listen to what Kaiba said & closed his eyes. Then within his mind, he found Guilmon & then jumnped. "Good!" said Kaiba, "And I'll finish it up!"

DIGI-MODIFY

"Digi-Modify!" "Power Activate!"

"Sonic Wind!" yelled Sonicamon as he fired blue mini-blasts, along with a gust of wind, causing Guilmon to be knocked out! Takato, Rika & Henry were shocked! "Looks like I've won," said Kaiba. "Yeah....I guess," said Takato swetdropping. "Don't worry about it, Takato," informed Kaiba, "You put up a good fight." Just then Sonicamon picked Guilmon & dusted him off. "Oh, I lost..." said Guilmon sadly. "Don't worry about it, Guilmon," Sonicamon said, "If you would of kept that up, I would of lost. You did great!" "Thanks," said Guilmon. "They've already been through a battle & now they're become friends," said Rika. "Of course!" said Kaiba, "They're becoming friends because of their integrity & they can get along." "Still, I wanted Takato to win!" Rika cried as Henry & Kaiba sweatdropped.

----Round 2---- (Sort of!)

"Alright, Henry! Rika! You're up!" said Takato. "Sorry guys, but I can't compete," informed Henry, "Terriermon sort of fell asleep under that tree!" Everyone looked Terriermon sleeping & fell (anime style). "Ha, figures!" said Sonicamon, "He doesn't want to battle cause he'll know I'll beat him!" Just then, Terriermon woke-up mad. "Oh Yeah!" he said, "I can beat with both ears tied behind my back!" "SEZ WHO?!" "SEZ ME, SHOWOFF!" The Tamers sweatdropped. "Why don't we go ahead & start Round 3?" suggested Henry.

----Round 3----

"So, Rika?" asked Kaiba, "I've heard from Takato that you're the best Tamer around, is that right?" "Whatever my gogglehead said is true!" said Rika. "Yeah, but are you good enough to beat me & Sonicamon?" "I'm real good & I'll bet one of my best modify cards to prove it, too!" said Rika. "Hey, I'll take that bet!" said Kaiba as he grabbed two card from his pocket, "I'll give you these two cards if you win." Takato, Rika, & Henry were shocked as they looked. "A-a-are those..." Rika studdered. "Yup!" said Kaiba, "These are mint conditioned, holofoiled, AncientGreymon & AncientGarurumon cards!" (I've been dying to have those!) thought Takato. "Alright then! You're on!" said Rika.

"You better be careful, Renamon," warned Sonicamon, "As I know, I'm a good fighter!" "Just don't be soar when you lose!" said Renamon. "Walk all over him, Renamon!" yelled Rika. "Sonicamon! Rev up!" yelled Kaiba. Suddenly, Sonicamon's feet became like a wheel. Rika & Renamon was amazed at this. "Oh, I forgot to tell you...." Kaiba said, "Sonicamon was created with speed, that means I don't need to use a card to increase his speed!" Now that Rika knew about his secret, she knew that it was gonna be her best challenge yet.........
