A Power From The Past

Last Time: Rika was on her way to rejoin Takato & the others when she saw an Island of Frigimon being attacked. Most of the Frigimon were killed or badly hurt. She went to see who was responsible & found that her old nemesis, IceDevimon & GlacierMonzemon were causing the damage. She diced GlacierMonzemon & beat up IceDevimon. After that was settled, she went back to the others & just in time. 'Cause there's only 2 hours left!

Episode 15: The Final Hour

Just at least 2 hours left, Takato, Rika, Guilmon, & Renamon had finally finished their training as Rika planted the D-Saber in the ground. "Rika?" Takato asked, "Are you sure you want to leave the D-Saber here?" "Well, yeah, Gogglehead!" she replied, "Besides we don't need it anymore!" "Well at least keep it as a momento," suggested Guilmon, "I know I will." "Guilmon, sometimes you amaze even me," Renamon said smiling as Guilmon blushed.

Moments later, Henry, Jeri, Leomon, & Terriermon were heading right towards them. "Hey guys!" yelled Henry. "Henry! Jeri!" said Takato waving at them. "Hey! Where's Kaiba & Kazu?" asked Rika. "Kaiba said that he & Kazu went to Hypnos with Sonicamon & Gardromon," explained Henry. "Before that happened, Sonicamon & Terriermon got in another tiff," giggled Jeri. "Well, if he wouldn't got in my face, it wouldn't of happened!" shouted Terriermon in a hissy fit as the others laughed or sweatdropped. "Well, guys," said Takato, "We better get back to Earth while we still got time." The Tamers & digimon agreed & headed back to Earth.

----Somewhere in The Real World----

Ingermon stood on top of a skyscraper with his arms folded looking down at the innocent, yet active city. "Mindless people," he said in a cold, yet discusted voice, "They have no idea what's going to happen in the next hour & 45 minutes! I should destroy them now while I have the chance to! But I can't go back on my word. So I'll wait till it's time! Once I get rid of those children & their pet digimon, I'll absorb their information data & my power will go a thousand-fold! Then I be the strongest digimon in the Universe! NO ONE WILL BE MY EQUAL!!!!!!!" Then he laughed sadistically.

---Tamers---

Takato & the others were just a few feet from Hypnos. Then they went inside, up the elevator, & entered the main roon of Hypnos. There they spotted Yamaki, Reily, & Kaiba. "Hey guys," said Kaiba. "Hey Kaiba!" said Takato, "I see you had a change of clothes!" And was he ever right. Kaiba had on a Karate Gi that fit his size. Red pants, Dark blue sleeveless shirt, & red wrist bands & belt, & he had on the same shoes. "Yeah," Kaiba replied, "Seems during our training, Kazu did a real number on my other clothes & I did the same. Just look at him now." Takato looked at Kazu & he was also wearing different clothes. His were just like Kaiba's old clothes, but the color was all maroon. "But don't laugh at him, though," Kaiba replied, "During the training, he was doing excellent! He inticipated every move I made."

"Speaking of which, Kaiba," informed Henry, "You seem a little different yourself." "I'll say," replied Rika. Kaiba's black hair wasn't the same as usual. Instead of a few stands of hair down his face, most of his hair was standing up all spikey & one bang was down his face, & his black were solid as the dark night. Rika quite couldn't figure it out, but she had seen that look on his face somewhere before. Then she began to picture Super Kaiba in her mind & then BOOM!

"Wait a minute!" she said, "You look just like your Super form, only without the gold hair!" "It's a little trick I learned while traning," replied Kaiba. "So Kaiba, what are you doing here? Are you supposed to be ready for Ingermon?" asked Henry as Jeri agreed by nodding. "Don't tell me that, tell them," Kaiba said pointing out to someone behind the Tamers. They turned around to that their parents staring right at them; some smiling, some angry. "Don't worry about telling them the whole story," Kaiba replied, "I already filled them in when they got here. I think it'll be best if you had a discussion them."

---Takato---

Takato, who was with his parents, walked over toward the window with a serious look on his face. "Takato," said his dad, "Are you sure you want to do this? I mean it's been about 5 years since you & your friends faced- off against that thing, The D-Reaper." "I'm the Digimon King, Dad," said Takato, "I'm supposed to watch out for my friends." "You're supposed to be a regular kid, Takato," said his mom, "I'm supposed to be taking care of you!" "Now Dear," replied Takato's dad, "He has to make his own decisions, we can't be their for him all the time." "But....." "He's right, Mrs. Matsuki," said Guilmon interrupting her, "Everyone must make their own decisions & believe me, it's not a sin to fight for the right cause!" Guilmon words of wisdom hit home hard as Mrs. Matsuki decided to let go of child problems.

"Alright, Takato," his mom said, "You can go. But you must learn to take care yourself." "Don't worry, Mr. Matsuki," said Guilmon talking to Takato's dad, "I'll make sure that he doesn't get hurt, I promise." "I'm sure you will, boy," Takato's replied back.

"Besides, Mom," Takato began, "I have to protect Rika, I love her." His mom smiled & said this last sentence, "One more thing, Takato. If you do fight that Ingermon character, blast his teeth out for me!" "Ah, Mom!" Then he gave his mother one big hug as he smiled.

----Rika----

Rika looked back at Takato & his parents smiling as she talked to her mother & grandmother. "So Rika," her grandmothe began, "That Takato really likes you, doesn't he?" "He doesn't like me Grandma," said Rika, "He loves me & I love him." "Rika, do you really think you're up to this challenge by this Ingermon. What I've heard from your friend, Kaiba, he looks unbeatable!" exclaimed Rika's Mom. "Don't worry, Mom," Rika said, "As long as I got my friends, including Takato, nothing's unbeatable to us! Right, Renamon?" "Right, Rika," Renamon said smiling.

"Well, to just let you know, you're my little girl," her mom said, "If you ever need any help, just let me know & Grandma or I will be there for you." "That goes for you too, Renamon," Rika's grandmother replied, "Do you understand?" "Whole heartedly," the fox digimon replied.

----Henry----

"Henry," Janyu began, "Do you still remember those days when you had to fight the D-Reaper?" "I sure do," Henry replied, "They were the most horrific days of my life." "Do you think battling against Ingermon would be horrific for you?" "Who knows." "What about Jeri?" "I love Jeri very much, Dad." "Do you love her much to sacrifce yourself, just for her?" Henry nodded quietly as Janyu continued. "It was 5 years ago since that time, Henry, you're gonna have to be on your own." "Don't worry about it, Pops!" said Terriermon, "Once I get my hands on Ingermon, I'm gonna rip'em apart!" "That is if only he'll let you near him!" informed Henry as Terriermon facefaulted.

"Don't worry, Henwy," said Suzie, "You will do just fine with the others." "I hope so, Suzie," said Henry, "I hope so......"

----Jeri----

"Jeri," began Jeri's dad, "It's been 5 years since the D-Reaper held you hostage. What makes you think that monster you're gonna face isn't going to do the same thing?" "Dad, I'm a big girl now," replied Jeri, "Ingermon started this fight, & my friends & I have to end it. Like you said before, I can take of myself. Isn't that right, Leomon?" Leomon nodded silently.

Jeri's dad couldn't believe it. Her little girl had become a woman. Then he said, "Jeri, I'm not gonna be angry with you. Instead, I'm gonna honor you. If you can promise me not you're not gonna get seriously hurt, then I can trust you to go do battle." Jeri smiled & nodded as her father gave her a hug.

----Kaiba----

Kaiba was sitting down, with Sonicamon, looking over the Card of Courage. 'This card has the ability to make you an unstoppable force' His Grandmother Sora's words echoed through his mind making him more focused that ever. Then Yamaki & Reily walked over to them. "So Kaiba," Yamaki began, "Tai Kamiya is your grandfather, huh?" Kaiba nodded without saying a word. "I've never seen nobody so hellbent on destroying an archenemy," said Reily. "Ingermon killed my friends, my family, & ruined my life," Kaiba replied, "Would you do the same for yours?" "Kaiba & I were the only digimon & digidestined left," informed Sonicamon, "We had to avenge the people we lost."

Yamaki & Reily looked at each other then looked back at Kaiba & Sonicamon who had their heads down & eyes covered. "They tried so hard to beat him, but killed them without remorse," Kaiba audibly said as tears fell from his face, "He had no mercy for anybody & *sob* spared no one!" Sonicamon also had tears coming down as he said, "All those lost souls.....gone.....because *sob* of him." "So that why you want to destroy him," replied Yamaki, "For the death of your own family & friends!" "That's why I promised myself, no, I vow to destroy him..............No Matter What It Takes!" yelled Kaiba.

Yamaki walked to the crying Tamer & put a hand on his shoulder. Kaiba looked up to see him smile. "I know you will kid," Yamaki said, "But you don't have to do it alone." "That's right," said Reily petting Sonicamon on his head, "Takato & the others will help you in your quest to defeat him." Kaiba agreed, but for some odd reason, he wanted to do this alone.

---Kazu---

Kazu leaned up a wall with his eyes closed until Takato walked up to him. "Hey Kazu," he said, "Where are your parents?" "They didn't come," replied Kazu opening his eyes, "They only left me this letter." Takato took the letter & it said:

Dear Kazu,

Your mother & I couldn't be there to see you, but your friend Kaiba told us everything about that Ingermon character. Normally, I would object to this but you're a man, now. Take care of yourself, Kazu & try not to get into any trouble.

Sincerely, Your Old Man P.S. I love you, my son.



Takato looked up at Kazu & noticed that he was crying. "They trust me, Takato," Kazu said trying to wipe his tears away, "And I'll promise them I won't let them down!" All Takato could do was smile at his friend.

----------------------------------------------

A few mintues later, Takato & the rest of the Tamers looked at a new prototype Yamaki was working on. "What this Yamaki?" Henry asked. "This is the new prototype," Yamaki explained, "I called it the Granni: Mach 2." "It looks awsome!" exclaimed Rika. The Granni: Mach 2 looked like the original Granni, only it was light blue & 2 extra set of wings on. "Does it have any attacks?" asked Takato. "Only two attacks. I made'em myself," said Kaiba, "On the wings, there only laser attacks. But the other attack is so powerful, there's a recoil; I called it the Nitron Fury! But I can't tell what it is on a count it hasn't been tested." "And besides," Yamaki began, "we can't tested now because we don't have enough data for it."

"Then we have no other choice but to fight Ingermon head on!" Takato informed as the others agreed. "Look guys," said Kaiba as the Tamers look at him, "I don't mind fighting as a team, but aren't you going to get new clothes?" "Yeah, it looks like you've been a war with each other," informed Kazu. They were right. Their clothes were at least torn or real dirty.

"Don't worry, Takato," said Takato's mother, "I brought you some." It was the same color clothes that he used to wear when he started this journey as a Tamer, only they were modified a bit. Takato put on his white t-shirt, then put on his pants that were a little baggy. And finally, he put on his blue, sleeveless shirt that looked like a jacket. "I'm ready now," he said silently.

Both Henry & Jeri wore the same clothes too, but Jeri wore hers with a jacket.

"Sorry I didn't bring any clothes for you with me, Rika," said Rika's mom. "That's okay, Mom," said Rika, "Besides, I'm looking for a different type of style!" Then she walked over to Kaiba. "Kaiba," she began. "Yes?" "I need a little favor. I want to change clothes, but I want it in a different style. Can you do that?" "Sure," Kaiba replied, "But since I don't know what you want, I'll give it my best." Then Rika's torn clothes became new. She got new blue pants, a blue shirt, & a white short-sleeve jacket with a red heart on the left side. "That's it," said Rika, "Thanks, Kaiba!" Kaiba nodded in agreement.

------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Ingermon had his eyes closed. Then he noticed that it was at least 1 min. till. "It's almost time!" he said laughing, "Here me now, kids! You better be at your best! Cause I will destroy you & this pathetic planet!"

-------------------------------------

Kaiba looked at his D-Power for the time. "Guys!" he said as the Tamers & digimon looked at him & Sonicamon, "It's time!"

"Let's go guys," said Takato. They walked out the opened window onto the balcony.

"Rika," said Takato, "What do you want to do after we finish off Ingermon's defeated?" "Actually," began Rika, "I want to spend more time with you & our friends."

"Don't worry about me this time, Henry," replied Jeri, "I'll keep my guard up at all times!" Henry smiled as he kept on walking.

"Guilmon, aren't you even scared about fighting Ingermon?" said Renamon talking to her "boyfriend". "Everybody gets scared sometimes," replied Guilmon, "So do I, but I'm ready to fight as long as I got my friends by my side!"

"Hey, Terriermon!" said Sonicamon, "When this is over, will you have the honor battling me?" Terriermon smirked at his rival & said, "I........I'll think about it!"

Moments later, They went on the balcony, in alignment, when Takato said, "I wish that I could say something inspirational, but it just wouldn't our style. Pain heals, People dig scars & bruises, Glory, memories, last forever." Takato's words of wisdom hit home as the rest of the Tamers agreed heartedly. "Alright, this is it," said Kaiba, "Let's go!"

Then went off to face-off against Ingermon. They were all focused at the upcoming battle. Just that Kaiba was the only one worried..................
