by Fiery-chan and Angel13
A/N Angel here again! Guess what, I have a reallly bad migraine so don't bother me anyone out there!
Rika: Gee, you woke up on the wrong side of the bed!
Terriermon: Momentai, Angel, your migraine isn't that bad...
Angel: GRRRRR!!
Terriermon: **gulps** Maybe it is...
Rika: Now, Angel, be nice and give the people what they came to read.
Angel: **glares** Fine, I'll do it.
Terriermon: Disclaimer: Angel now owns the ocean in Kansas!
Rika: It's co-owned with Fiery-chan you weenie little rabbit!
Terriermon: Stop beating on me, jeesh, well, Angel CO-OWNS the ocean with Fiery. And she has decided she doesn't own digimon.
Rika: Well, she doesn't, she didn't decide.
Angel: Shut-up, quit rubbing it in that I don't own digimon and let me write my freakin story!
Terriermon: Woah, you've got a short fuse.
Ryo: Just breathe, Angel. It's okay. Want me to get you some asprin?
Kazu: I'll help too if you need it.
Angel: Thanks, everyone. I'm beginning to feel a little better.... And thanks for reviewing everyone!
Chapter 12: The Finals
"Welcome today, folks! It's a pleasure to have everyone here to watch out 6 finalists battle out for the championship on a tag team. On our first tag team is Rika Nonaka, the Digimon Queen, Ryo Akiyama, Legendary Tamer, and Kila Akihabara, a newcomer known as the Wildfire make up this tag team. And the second tag team is made up of, Damon Thompson, the Whiz, Justin Akumi, the street fighter, and Phoenix Masterson, the mistress of the flames..."
'Ugh, to commentators purposely give out wacko nicknames?'
Rika thought, completely bored with the announcer's dialogue.
"Now, finalists, please choose a number from the boxes. You will get numbers that range from 1-6. Ryo, Rika, and Kila, choose from the first box. Justin, Damon, and Phoenix, pick from the second box. "
The contestants picked scraps of paper out. Ryo got a 2, and Justin got a 1.
"Guess I'm stuck with Mr. Legendary Tamer? Great, a chance to get my ass whooped in a competition, what I've always wanted."
Kila pulled out a 4 and Damon pulled out a 3.
"Honored to battle you, Wildfire."
"Save your breath for when I beat you, Whiz."
Finally, Rika pulled out a 6 and Phoenix pulled out a 5. Phoenix had red-orange kinky hair, a shade darker than her own hair color and piercing dark green eyes. She was wearing a red tank top with white shorts. She held her hand out to Rika.
"Phoenix Masterson, my friends call me Phe (A/N pronounced like Fi). So, You can call me that if you want."
"I'm Rika as the wacked out announcer guy said."
"You said it. That dude is wacko. Well, hope you do well."
"Same to you!"
"Ryo and Justin, start on the bell! Go!!!"
Justin threw out a Gotsumon. Ryo took out Monodramon and digivolved him to Cyberdramon and used a Power Modify Card. Justin then digivolved Gotsumon to Monochromon.
"And, Justin's down after Ryo's Cyberdramon uses a very rare card called Goliath. Damon takes Justin's place. Damon draws a Wormmon and mega digivolves him to Imperialdramon. Cyberdramon didn't stand a chance against his Positron Laser! In comes, Kila."
Kila rolled her eyes.
'Wacked out commentator.....'
"And Kila throws out a Wolfmon and once again, with a red card, bio-merges successfully with Wolfmon. After Miraculous Glow, Imperialdramon is history. Now we have Phoenix who has thrown out... Oh my gosh, is it possible? She has thrown out the ultra rare card, Zhuqiaomon."
***
A/N Yes, I know, I have no clue if this card even exist. But just go in with me on this, kay?
***
"And, Zhuqiaomon uses Crimson Blaze to knock down MetalWarumon. Rika moves in with Sakuyamon. She uses Amethyst Mandala and somehow defeats Zhuqiaomon! The tag team that won is Kila, Ryo, and Rika!! Let's hear it for them!"
Everyone in the crowd applauded and cheered.
"And, let's also hear it for our other tag team who gave it their all, Damon, Justin, and Phoenix!!"
More cheers.
"Now, come forward Rika, Ryo, and Kila, to accept these 3 trophies which verify you as the winners of the tournament!"
Kila, Rika, and Ryo approached the podium and accepted the trophies, which were about 1.5 feet high and had a gold colored digimon card perched on the top.
"You also get to choose from one of the 3 rare cards I hold in my hand."
Rika picked Azulongmon. Ryo got Baihumon and Kila got Zhuqiaomon.
"Now, stay in place, the 6 of you. We'll be taking pictures as well."
Rika rolled her eyes.
'Stupid cameras...'
"Aw, c'mon, Rika, smile for the camera."
Ryo coaxed softly.
Rika sighed and gave a half-hearted smile. After the pictures were taken, Ryo, Rika, and Kila met up with everyone at the edge of the platform where the battles had taken place.
"Awesome battling, Rika."
Evan smiled.
"Well, what are we gonna do for the rest of the day? I hear we're shipping off tomorrow for another island."
Jeri looked at everyone.
"I say the beach I love the water here. It's great."
Evan grinned widely and winked at Rika.
"Okay, how bout we split up? Jeri, Jodie, Kazu, Kenta, and I are going to walk the town some more. Anyone wanna come with us?"
"I'll come."
"Me too."
"I'm in."
"So, Missy, Becky, and Fio wanna come too?"
"Yeah. We'll come."
"So, me, Rika, Ryo, Kila, Emily, and Henry are gonna stay at the beach. See you all later!"
Then, everyone departed. Just as Evan and the others were headed back to the ship, they heard someone calling them.
"Hey, wait up, Rika, Ryo, and Kila!"
"Hey, Phe. What's up?"
"Can I hang with you guys? I've got no one to hang with for the next few days and..."
"Sure, we're heading to the beach. You can swim, right?"
Evan asked bluntly.
"Uh, I can swim, yeah. Let me go and change and I'll meet you at the beach in 10."
Phoenix took off in another direction.
"So, she lives here. Lucky her."
Evan muttered.
Suddenly, Phoenix came back.
"Guys, how bout you come to my house? My house is about 10 minutes from town. Grab our gear and I'll wait outside the ship."
The teens headed on board and grabbed all the stuff they needed bathing suits, towels, etc since Phe's house was on the water. After they had all their stuff then went back to meet Phe. About 20 minutes later, they neared a huge house. Like mansion size. Ryo's eyes grew wide.
"That's your house?"
"Yeah, big, isn't it?"
"Just a little..."
Evan trailed.
"Well, can we go in or do you have a gate or something?"
Kila asked impatiently.
"Yeah, let the way, Phoenix!"
Evan exclaimed.
"Don't EVER call me Phoenix! The only people who call me that are my parents and strangers."
"Okay, okay, don't kill me!"
Evan held up his hands defensively.
"Sorry, just don't call me by my full name. Anyway, we can either swim in the pool or go in the ocean. So, tell me who's going in the pool and who's going in the ocean."
"Wanna keep sharpening up your skills in surfing, Pumpkin?"
Ryo glanced at her.
"I suppose if I wanna look good surfing."
"You always look good.... I mean..."
Ryo blushed bright red.
"Ooooh, the Legendary Tamer is embarrassed? I didn't know that was humanly possible for someone like you..."
"Learn something new every day, huh, Rika?"
Kila joked.
"Indeed. So, where's everyone else going?"
"I'm gonna tag along with you guys. If that's okay with you."
Kila grinned.
"Yeah, that's fine."
"Just gotta make sure you don't get too comfortable..."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Rika asked angrily but both her and Ryo blushed. Kila put her hands behind her head.
"Nothing at all..."
"Well, I'm gonna stay back with Phe. We'll swim and hag while you go and get water-logged."
"I'll stay with you too, cuz'n Ev."
"Okay."
"And, I'll come with you guys."
"Cool, well, see you in what? An hour?"
"Two hours so you can stay for dinner at my house. I insist. You've probably only had stuff from restaurants, right? And I'm sure that some of you miss your own food from where you're from. Besides a gazillion pizza places and a French restaurant, not much else. I'll have our cook make whatever you want."
"Burgers and fries!"
"Some good old meals, Japanese style..."
"Well, I'll see what she can do..."
"Well, we're heading down. See you in 2."
***
A/N They rented surfboards before they came up
***
Henry and Kila hung at the beach, trying new tricks on their boards and Ryo taught Rika some not so complicated tricks.
"Hey, this isn't so har-"
Rika nearly was smashed down by a wave. Nearly.
"Good job, Rika. You stayed away from danger. You'll be good as me soon."
"Shut-up, Akiyama. That ego of yours could use some deflating."
Kila and Henry were on towels on shore.
"Let's head in before I deflate it myself!"
Ryo grinned.
"And how would you do that, Wildcat?"
Rika smirked.
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
They swam in, lugging their boards behind them.
"So, what do you wanna do now?"
Rika asked and realized Kila and Henry had fallen asleep next to each other on their towels.
"Look what you did, Rika! You put them to sleep."
"Shut-up, Akiyama, before I beat you up!"
"Yeah, whatever..."
"I'm not kidding!!!!"
Rika began to chase Ryo through the sand. Ryo yelped in surprise and shot off but soon she caught him and tackled him.
"I'll sit on you, Ryo."
"No problem. You are light. I wouldn't mind you sitting on me."
Rika groaned. Ryo could be so infuriating.
After the 2 hours passed, they headed back to the mansion.
A/N Well, that's the end of this chapter. Whaddya think?
Rika: I think it was stupid!
Ryo: I liked it.
Kazu: What are you complaining about, Rika? You pretty much won the tournament....
Terriermon: Come back and read the next chapter.
Angel: Momentai, you're getting all jumpy....
