Regless: Alright the levels basically show how close, or how far he is from
being normal again. For example, Influence, if it gets high enough will
start to make Takato visible and able to move real things. While if the
Hazard Level gets high enough Megidramon will come back. I'm not telling
what the Merge and Digivolve levels are for (.
Terriermon: Oy, why am I stuck here here again?
Regless: Cause I'm good with a padlock. Anyway as for "if Guilmon remembers Takato". I ain't telling.
Terriermon: Your kinda stingy for your age.
Regless: .And into the closet you go. ^Grabs Terriermon and chucks him into the closet. "Oh yeah I don't own digimon and RUKATO FOREVER."
Terriermon: Which is how long it's taking in this fic
Regless:... Shut up.
Terriermon: Momentai

Perfect Hazzard - Chapter Three - Merge
Takato had been walking around with his arms folded behind his head for what seemed like hours. He had followed Kazu, Kenta, and Gardromon after deliberating who needed what little help he could offer most. Jeri didn't have a digimon, Lopmon was unable to digivolve, and Terriermon was kept out of fighting, but he figured that Henry, at least, knew when to run away. Plus they were walking away from the Sovereigns Tower. Kazu on the other hand, after seeing how he acted the encampement, practicly had the words ^I'm a walking target^ written on his forehead.
After the first couple of hours of traveling with Kazu, Kenta and Gardromon, he had come to realize he could slightly effect other people personalities. If he passed his hand through other people they temporarily become they way he remembered them. He also realized that not only did he not exist now, but he never did exsist to begin with, at least as far as everyone else was conecerned.
**Sigh**Takato looked down. Even though he decided to guard Kazu and Kenta as best he could, his mind kept trailing off to another member of their group, a red haired girl with a mean right hook. Part of the reason he went with these two was in the hopes that he could meet up with Rika again. Even if it wouldn't do much good, he still wondered how she was doing.
Takato finally looked up and gasped. He, Kazu, and Kenta were all standing in front of a massive forest. Too bad there wasn't a forest between them and the Sovereign's Tower. **Were lost.? Oh well,** he thought **Now the won't have to fight the sovereign or Beelzemon.**
Kazu "I knew should taken a right instead of a left."
Takato looked on in disbelief "What? You weren't supposed to turn at all! How could you miss the tower, I mean, I'm glad and all. But it was right there!" Takato looked around, noone paid him any attention
Kenta "Umm, then why did you go left?"
Kazu just grinned sheepishly and ignored the question "Well, guess we might as well set up camp seeing as how we are here."
Kazu, Kenta, and Gardromon went on into the forest. Takato took a moment before following them. "I knew it. Not even your reckless enough to go head on with Beelzemon again"
***Meanwhile***
Rika and Renamon were also in the forest. A small clearing of short grass and a crystal colored river beside it made their training area. Renamon was working on her Diamond Storm while Rika grumbled to herself. The sound of a branch falling near her cause her to snap her head up. "Watch it, Renamon!" Her voice was dripping with malice. But Renamon was, as usual, unaffected.
Renamon "Something wrong? You haven't been yourself lately."
Rika turned her head visably annoyed "I'd be a lot better if you could beat Beelzemon."
Renamon "You act as if it's my fault I can't reach Mega"
Rika turned back and glared "That's because it is"
"." Renamon turned to leave, there was no use talking to Rika when she was like this
After Renamon was out of veiw. Rika looked down. "You will be the best Renamon. No matter what." Suddenly her attention was diverted upward as she heard someone approaching through the trees. She could tell by the distant voice they weren't digimon and she wasn't exactly looking forward to seeing any of her former friends at the moment. She ducked out of veiw behind the rock she was sitting on as Kazu, Kenta, and Gardromon made their way closer, joking and laughing about nothing in particular as they came through the brush.
Takato crouched down behind the rock Rika was hiding behind. Even if Kazu, kenta, and Gardromon didn't realize it. he was, again, leading them. Since he had already cleared the brush he easily saw Rika and move over behind the rock so is that he was next to her.
Takato looked over grinning as usual "Hi Rika! Watcha hiding from?"
Rika kept her gaze focused until she could clearly made out who was coming towards her. "Just great, dumb, dumbed, and the mobile paper-weight. Even Henry and the brat would've been better than them."
Takato sighed but continued anyway despite the fact he could not be heard "That wasn't very nice. You should be friends."
Suddenly a wicked smile crossed Rika's face as she muttered out loud "Come to think of it, this would be the perfect time to load their data."
Rika was about to stand up and call Renamon when Takato raised his hand and simply statted "I got a better idea." He passed his hand through her stomache and before she could stop herself, she called out.
Rika "Hey what are you three doing here?" It didn't take more than a couple seconds to get back to her usual self but the damage was done and she was mentally kicking herself became of it. **Why did I do that**
Takato got up and walked up over to the other two. Kazu glared at her still bitter about the argument before. Takato had to think quickly, it was like he was playing a game of emotional chess. **Kazu is definitely not the most diplomatic person soooo** Takato turned and passed his hand through Kenta.
Kenta smiled and looked up "Umm, we've been walking for hours and we got kinda lost, do you mind if we set up camp here?"
Rika was surprise Kenta actually opened his mouth and said SOMETHING for once. Since he was usually quiet she didn't really have anything against him. "Yeah, I guess."
Rika turned slightly shifting her gaze from Kazu to Kenta, but he had already gone back to his usually quiet self. Kazu was about to make a remark just for the heck of it until he caught a glance from Gardromon and held it back. Rika stood silently, Takato was between all four of them. Noone said or did anything to nervous to upset each other and the silence was almost maddened. Even Rika was a little tense.
Takato ".Let's go people, we're all going to turn to statues if none of you don't move."
Rika picked her head up as if she heard what Takato said "Let's go, I'll get some water and fish with Renamon, Kazu and Gardromon can get the firewood, and Kenta can find fruits and berries. We'll meet back here in an hour." Everyone nodded and went off into their own separate directions.
Takato made note of the fact he didn't have to influence Rika into saying that "Mabey she's finally starting lighten up" Takato had to pick who he was going to follow and right now it wasn't that hard of a choice. He had enough of Kazu and Kenta and their lousy jokes to last him a lifetime. Plus he had been wanting to see Rika all day. He turned and ran after her.
Rika finally made her way to a shallow part of the stream/river and called for Renamon. The yellow fox appeared quickly across the river with her arms folded and waited for instructions, noting that Rika seemed to be in a better mood than before. Takato was sitting on a rock in the middle of the stream/river taking in the sights, fresh air, and company.
Rika "Hey Renamon, wanna help me catch some fish" She bent over and began filling some empty containers with water
Renamon "And what form of training would that be?" Renamon asked arching an eyebrow
Takato "Training? Sheesh you gotta eat, don't you. Rika's acting nice, don't go and blow it."
Renamon turned towards Takato. **That's odd I could've sworn I heard something. Something with good advice** Rika looked vexed with Renamon's response and was about to lose her cool again. however she interrupted by a fish landing only a few feet away.
Renamon "How many do we need?"
***Meanwhile***
Beelzemon was cruising through the dessert of the bottom layer of the of the digital world on his motorcycle, Behemoth. The loud engine kept all the smart digimon as far away from him as possible while the stupid ones seemed to be attracted to the sound. But that was unimportant now, he wanted to get back to the top layer and delete those blasted tamers and their digital pests. In the last fight some sort of burning light saved them. and left him with an odd, white, triangle arrangement on the back of his hands. Despite he fact that they seem to burn from time to time, he thought they were. cool. They reminded him of temporary tattoos, only these didn't seem to be very temporary. Also, they were very familiar. He knew he was forgetting something and that he was very close to figuring it out. One sentence constantly raced through his mind in an almost painful way.
"NOT EVER! YOU HEAR ME? IT WON'T EVER CHANGE!"
The voice sounded familiar. Beelzemon was sure he had heard it before. But now, it was little more than a distant feeling. He pushed such trivial matters from his mind and focused on the task at hand as he saw another datastream coming his way. He drove towards it in hope that it would lead to his human victims.
***Meanwhile***
Takato hadn't budged from his spot on the rock. He was more than happy watching Rika "Try" to fish. She kept missing them usually ended up falling over, which in turn sent Takato into a laughing fit. Then Renamon would help her up and the series of events would repeat. Takato was glad to see Rika and Renamon getting along again, even though she usually cussed as much as humanly possible when she fell over, she seemed to stay in good spirits, determined to catch at least one fish no matter what.
Rika "RRRRRRRRR. Stupid fish, when I get my hands on you I'm gonna." Rika dove downward again, missed a fish, and toppled over.
Takato ".Fall over and have my 18th bath this hour" Takato finished for her, then started laughing again when she got up dripping wet. again.
Takato's laughing was suddenly interrupted my a low rumbling. He turn his head and looked up the stream to a sight that cause him to get up immediately and head for the shore. He would have screamed for everyone to run if they weren't already doing so. A massive wave was coming downstream hard and fast. Takato had the advantage up being intangible. Rika and Renamon were both slowed by the brush and thus when the wave came over the side, it swept them inward with relative ease.
"Rika!!!" Takato yelled as he rushed downstream trying to keep up with his floating comrade. Normally he would jump in but he was all to aware how useless that would be in his current state. Renamon was just barley able to keep Rika's head above the raging water. A few seconds later Takato was joined by Kazu, Kenta, and in the distance, a slow moving Gardromon. They had apparently heard the commotion and come running.
Takato "Damn, gotta do something. Gotta do something." Takato chanted
Kazu "Don't worry Rika! We'll get you out of their somehow." Kazu was a bit surprised that he was trying to save Rika. But if there was ever a time to their differences aside. Now would be that time.
Kenta "Kazu, be careful" Kenta was pointing ahead of them
Kazu's eyes scanned the area ahead of them. There was a huge mass of spare data orbs blocking their path and they weren't moving much. Kazu gritted his teeth and tried to overleap them but one moved to where he was going to land gave him the jolt of his life. Kazu went into shock and Kenta slowed down to try and find a way around. Takato however went straight through not even bothering to dodge them. He assumed he would be able to go through them like everything else. He was so focused, he didn't realize the Digital Hazard signs on his hands begin to glow red.
Kenta jumped back startled as one of the spare data orbs took off like a bat out of hell. "Wow those things can really move. When the want to" Kenta looked back at Kazu and stepped carefully around the data trying to get to his fallen friend.
Takato was suddenly aware that his vision was clouded. And he had a lot more energy, it was easier to move around overall since he was going much faster, but he could feel slight resistance when he past through things now. He had gotten far ahead of Rika so he figured it safe to look back and see what was happening. He stopped dead in his tracks when he realized he was burning his way through the bushes and branches that got in his way. He turned again and looked into the water trying to get a glimpse of his reflection. What he got instead, was the reflection of a small spare packet of data.
As the horror of the situation set in Takato became unable to move. Fortunately Kenta's screaming reminded him of what was at stake and he tried to access the situation as quickly as possible.
Takato:
**Alright, Rika and Renamon are trapped in a wave of water and can't Digivolve**
**Kazu's out of it**
**Kenta's panicking**
**Gardromon's slow**
**.Oh yeah and I'm basically a mobile fireball. in a. forest**
Takato got an idea and quickly rammed himself into the nearest tree truck. It stung significantly but and the tree wasn't going down as fast as the leaves and twigs Takato went through before. The tree was giving, he just needed more time. And he got it too as Renamon grappled on to a rock jutting out of the water with her free hand. It was slippery and didn't hold long but it bought Takato enough time as the tree finally gave in and fell across the river.
Renamon and Rika were forced into the makeshift dam, HARD. Renamon had the wind knocked out of her and Rika was just plain knocked out. Renamon grabbed Rika again before she went under and climbed out of the river breathing heavily. She looked up expecting to see Gardromon with his missiles. She was quite confused and surprised to see a useless packet of data instead.
"Renamon! Rika! Are you alright!" Renamon turned to see Kenta with a slightly-conscious Kazu dragging behind him. Gardromon had finally caught up as well.
Renamon "I think THAT saved us." Renamon pointed to the packet of spare data.
Kazu "Eh? What do you mean?" Kazu leaned over eyeing the data carefully.
Takato "Hey! back up there buddy." Takato move back a step, and ended up turning a branch behind him to cinders.
Kenta "Uhh. I think that's the same packet of data that followed you."
Rika " Mmmm, yeah right. That impossible." Rika had begun to stir was started supporting her own weight.
Renamon "Followed? Wouldn't it just be coincidence?"
Kenta stepped back nervous with all the sudden attention "Umm n,no. It wasn't moving. Then it took off after you. Then it stopped and caused the tree to fall over. Then it moved off to the side where it is now. It's almost like it was."
Renamon ".Thinking about what it was doing." Now she was eyeing the data/Takato
Rika "This is so stupid, data can't think." Rika piped up cynically
Renamon/Takato/Gardromon "HEY!!!"
Rika "Renamon excluded, of course." Rika gave Renamon a light hearted smile, one that Renamon hadn't ever recalled seeing.
Takato/Gardromon "HEY!!!"
Kazu "Good da-zztztztzzzztzzztzzttztt" Kazu had tried to pet the data and passed out. enough said.
Takato "And she says I can't think"
Gardromon raised his arm to fire at the data for hurting his tamer. "Noone hurts Kazu. except Rika." "PROTECT MISSILE" Gardromon fired a missile at Takato who was bouncing around erratically in panic after he realized Gardromon was going to shoot him. The missile connected and Takato felt an intense jolt of force. The tamers looked at the spare data and saw something they didn't quite expect. Instead of being deleted right away, the data went from white and blue to black and red. The fragments of solid matter inside orb connected forming the symbol of the Digital Hazard, then it exploded sending everyone except Gardromon back a few meters. Takato was tossed into the river. He looked down and made sure he had his digivice. It was, again, displaying the flashing words "Level Gained"
***Level Gained***
Influence Level: 1
Digivolve Level:0
Merge Level:1
Hazard Level: 0
Kazu climbed to his feet at the same time as everyone else. The explosion had knocked the shock out of him. "uff. Well, that was weird. Let's go back to camp." Everyone nodded sorely and started off back to camp except Gardromon. Kazu turned around.
Kazu "Hey Gardromon, what is it."
Gardromon "Nothing, I just thought that I heard a splash."
Takato spat out some of the water he inhaled
"No kidding."

Renamon ".Thinking about what it was doing." Now she was eyeing the data/Takato
Rika "This is so stupid, data can't think." Rika piped up cynically
Renamon/Takato/Gardromon "HEY!!!"
Rika "Renamon excluded, of course." Rika gave Renamon a light hearted smile, one that Renamon hadn't ever recalled seeing.
Takato/Gardromon "HEY!!!"
Kazu "Good da-zztztztzzzztzzztzzttztt" Kazu had tried to pet the data and passed out. enough said.
Takato "And she says I can't think"
Gardromon raised his arm to fire at the data for hurting his tamer. "Noone hurts Kazu. except Rika." "PROTECT MISSILE" Gardromon fired a missile at Takato who was bouncing around erratically in panic after he realized Gardromon was going to shoot him. The missile connected and Takato felt an intense jolt of force. The tamers looked at the spare data and saw something they didn't quite expect. Instead of being deleted right away, the data went from white and blue to black and red. The fragments of solid matter inside orb connected forming the symbol of the Digital Hazard, then it exploded sending everyone except Gardromon back a few meters. Takato was tossed into the river. He looked down and made sure he had his digivice. It was, again, displaying the flashing words "Level Gained"
***Level Gained***
Influence Level: 1
Digivolve Level:0
Merge Level:1
Hazard Level: 0
Kazu climbed to his feet at the same time as everyone else. The explosion had knocked the shock out of him. "uff. Well, that was weird. Let's go back to camp." Everyone nodded sorely and started off back to camp except Gardromon. Kazu turned around.
Kazu "Hey Gardromon, what is it."
Gardromon "Nothing, I just thought that I heard a splash."
Takato spat out some of the water he inhaled
"No kidding."
