A Power From The Past

Last Time: Takato knew he had one last chance to reunite with the others, so he tried to fly out of Ingermon's mouth. Speaking of Ingermon, he was getting beat down by the Moon Fighter, known as Rika. When he knew he couldn't win, he tried to destroy the city by using Takato's own attack! But Rika wasn't having any of it by attacking with a blast of her own. During the attack, Takato escaped from the bowels of Ingermon & the two lovebirds were reunited! But when Ingermon started to attack again, Takato had no other choice but to execute an attack called the Digital Dragon & destroyed him, but did it destroy himself?

Episode 23: The Vow To Destroy

Rika lead the others back to Hypnos, but for some odd reason, she had an angry look on her face. Kaiba recognized the look & asked, "Rika, are you okay?" "I'm fine!" Rika replied snapping at Kaiba, "Don't worry about it!"

They finally made back to Hypnos as their parents ran up to them. "Rika," said Mrs. Nonaka as her daughter smiled, "Are you okay?" "Don't worry, Mom. I'm okay." "But where's Takato?" asked Mr. Matsuki, "What happened to him?" The Tamers lowered their heads to give them an answer until............Takato entered from the window exhausted. He couldn't walk another step as his parents came up to him. "Takato, sweetheart, are you alright?" asked his mom. Takato waved a hand at his mother & said, "Don't worry, Mother. I'll be okay. I'm just a little tired that's all." Takato slowly stood up & looked at everyone smiling. Then he de-transformed from Super Tamer, to Digimon King 1st form, & back to normal.

Rika didn't mind de-transforming from Moon Fighter back to normal, as well. "Son, are you okay?" Takato's dad asked, "You're not hurt or anything are you?" "I got a couple of scratches, but I'll be okay," replied Takato. But then Henry saw something, not even Takato's own parents couldn't recognize. "Dad, Yamaki, look at Takato's face!" Henry said. They both looked & saw that Takato was breathing real hard & sweating badly.

Janyu had no other choice but to give the gogglehead a glass of water. "Here, drink this," Janyu said as he gave him the water. Takato drunk the water slowly & after he was finished, he said, "Thank you, that should help." Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Takato saw Rika walking towards a door. "Hey, Rika! Where are you going?" he asked. Rika stopped & turned her head to see her boyfriend. "I'm going out," she said silently, "I'll be back in a while. (Yeah, I'll be back alright. As soon as I figure this whole Super Tamer Takato, Kaiba & Tai Kamiya, & this whole Ingermon bullcrap!) Let's go, Renamon!" Renamon followed her Tamer & they both left.

"What's her problem?" asked Kazu. "Leave her alone," said Jeri, "She's just got some issues, OK?" "Takato, we need to finish the data loading the Granni: Mach 2," replied Yamaki. "How do we do that?" asked Takato. "We need to use your life data." "My life data?" "But before we can do that, we need you to get hook up. Don't worry, you won't be harm during this."

Takato walked up to Yamaki & was told to put cables around his arms, legs, & upper body.

----Meanwhile----

Floating in the middle of the sky, was a pink blob that looked like gum. Then the blob started to take shape. It grew arms, legs, & a whole body; Ingermon, with Super Tamer Takato's power, was reborn. But the Demon Beast was really pissed off.

"Takato!!!" he yelled, "That boy! He almost killed me! If I find him again, I'm gonna make him sorry he ever messed with me! But It's not only him, It's that girl, The Moon Fighter! She humiliated me!" Then he powered up. "She's not gonna get away with this either! I'll hunt them both down & kill them!"

Then Ingermon released an energy wind so huge, it wiped out all the destroyed building.

---Back at Hypnos---

"He's back!" informed Akiamon to Kaiba as he sensed the whole thing. Then Kaiba headed back towards the others.

As Takato was taping the cables to his body, Henry walked up to him & asked, "Uh, Takato? Is it alright if I asked you a question?" "Sure, go ahead," replied Takato. "Well, when you became Super Tamer Takato, what did it feel like?" "It feels awsome. But it puts out too much energy that it's hard for me to control." "Well, would you have defeated Ingermon anyways?" "If I would of tried, yes. Besides, that was my 2nd time transforming." "When was the 1st time you did?" "I was over at my cousin, Kai's when it happened!"

"Okay, 'Chumly'!" Kazu said, "I can understand this whole Super Tamer thing, but that kick-butt attack you just did, did it really destroy Ingermon?" Takato knew he was talking about the Digital Dragon & said, "You mean, "If it would really destroy him." I would of but the recoil on the attack is so powerful, I wouldn't be able to stand it. In other words, I would of been killed if I attacked him at full power!"

"Alright, Takato," said Yamaki, "We're ready to begin! As long as you have those cables on your arms, the process will take it toll. It will go even faster if stress to your body begins." "Then I guess it's time for my turn," replied Kaiba as he walked up to Henry, Kazu, & Takato, "It's my turn to take on Ingermon." "But why?" asked Takato. "It's my destiny," replied Kaiba, "I must do this for my grandfather, Tai Kamiya, the love of his life & my grandmother, Sora Takenouchi, & the rest of the Digidestined." "Well, the only thing I have to say is.........GO FOR IT!" said Jeri, "Who knows? You might win!" "Yeah, you'll never know until you try!" replied Henry as Kazu agreed. "Tai & Sora would be so proud of you right now," replied Takato, (A/N: BY THE WAY, I'M A TAIORA FAN!) "Now go ahead & show him what a Tamer's made of!" "Yeah!" said Kaiba as he shook his friend's hand & smiled.

Minutes later, "Okay, go be a hero," said Takato as Kaiba went off. He turned & said, "I'm gonna do my best guys!" Then they gave him a thumbs up. "Let's go, Akiamon!" "Right!" Then both the descendant of Tai Kamiya & his partner went off to fight Ingermon. "Terriermon & I will be out on the balcony looking over his progress," informed Henry. "Momentai, Henry! I only got two ears!" replied Terriermon. "Don't worry, guys," said Reika pointing to a monitor, "That will show everything on the battlefield!" "Alright, Yamaki!" said Takato, "Let's get this started!"

---Rika & Renamon---

Rika & Renamon stopped walking & sat down. "Rika, We're nearly out of the city!" replied Renamon, "What are we doing here?" "It's just something I have to think about, don't worry about it!" said Rika, (And I found these answers, I'll go back, but I won't fight along beside Takato!)

----Later----

Ingermon was looking for both Takato & Rika when he saw Kaiba & Akiamon head towards him. They all stood staring each other out. "Well, Kaiba! Good to see you again!" Ingermon said. "What's so good about it?!" yelled Kaiba. "You see, Kaiba, I've got an opportunity for you that you can't refuse! Tell me where the boy & girl are & I'll spare your miserable life!" Kaiba & Akiamon kept their mouths shut until Akiamon said, "Takato & Rika's fates are no longer your concern! This time you'll fight us!" Ingermon closed his eyes & laughed. "The last digidestined told me that, & I broke'em in half!" yelled Ingermon.

"Of all the people you hurt, who have suffered, & died because of your actions, it's time to pay for all of the mistakes that you've made!" yelled Kaiba as tears fell, (And I'll make you suffer for what you done to Tai & Sora!) "I vow to our friends & family that WE WILL DEFEAT YOU!" Ingermon didn't believe it, but they're both gonna take him down..............

(Narrator: All of the digidestined, from Tai through Davis & beyond, suffered at the hands of Ingermon, now it's time to destroy the evil. Can Kaiba keep his vow to destroy the Demon Beast? Now that Takato will be out of action for a while, Kaiba need every asset to beat him. And what about Rika? What's her problem? Next time on Digimon: Digital Monsters!)

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