Tiger Queen
"I know my father is the one who betrayed your father all those years ago," Ryo told Takato, "And I know you probably still hold it against me, but I am not my father. I have different beliefs, and ideas about my future. So why have you been avoiding me?"
"I was training in the art of my ancestors. Yamaki worked me to death so many days and for what? My Digimon still can't Digivolve," Takato admitted.
Ryo stated, "You need Modify Cards to make them Digivolve. I thought you would know that, being the descendant of a great hero. Didn't Yamaki teach you that?"
Takato shook his head. "He never tells me anything except to get up, stop slacking, and to run errands to Doraf. Or to get Herbs in Galia that are no different from the ones we usually get."
"Works you hard, eh?" inquired Ryo, "With all your training, I'm sure you can get by. By the way, would you be willing to help me out on a little job while you're here?"
"I promised Yamaki I'd come strait home after I finished," Takato said.
Ryo replied, "But it's involving a Digital Portal that has opened up and is spilling many wild Digimon into our world. You're the only Sealer of the Rift left, so there's no one else to ask."
Takato suddenly had a change of heart. "In that case, I'll be more than happy to help you out. Lets go to the tavern where we can discuss the details of this job. I need to know exactly what it details before I can take on any job."
"That's just what I was going to suggest!" exclaimed Ryo, "My associate is waiting there for me. She will fill you in on most of the details when we arrive."

In the bar, the two men and Digimon took a seat at a table in the corner. Sitting there already was a young woman, about the same age as Takato. She had orange brown hair that was tied in a spiky ponytail and violet eyes. On her chest was a ruby breastplate with a gray sleeveless tunic underneath, and a pair of gray breeches. Over the breeches were tall yellow boots with steel clips near the top. She had on white gloves, a white cape, and a white belt with some white cloth hanging down in front as well as another around the sides and back. There was a white hat on her head with a red feather in her cap and a pink and red raccoon tail attached to the back. She had a strange headband with a glowing ruby in the center on her forehead.
In her lap was a white tiger Digimon with yellow stripes. It had golden eyes, and golden hair that resembled a horse's mane, and had on the same headband as its master. The girl was petting her partner, who was purring like a kitten.
"Takato, I would like you to meet Rika and her partner, Toranmon. She is a sorceress, who is also my associate," Ryo told his friend.
Rika said, "It is an honor to meet you Takato. Ryo has told me so much about you. Doubtless you've changed much in the last ten years since he last saw you."
Takato looked at the girl. She was the most beautiful thing that he had ever seen. Not that he had seen many women in his late teenage years and adulthood, living in the forest and all. But that was besides the point. He did think that Rika was really beautiful.
Rika's voice brought him out of his reverie. "Ummm. . .Takato, are you alright? You look kind of funny. What is going on in that head of yours."
"Nothing," Takato replied, "Would you kindly explain the exact conditions of my job. As I told Ryo, I need to know what is going on before I can accept it."
"Sure, I will be glad to. Do you know the Balnia Temple to the north of Galia?" asked Rika. Takato answered, "Isn't that the one where they say the strange sorcerer has been hanging out and doing strange experiments all the time?"
Ryo nodded. "They say that the sorcerer has opened a rift between the worlds, and is calling wild Digimon through the portal to fight for him. They have been leaving the temple, despite his seals, and are coming into the fields in order to attack human beings. We need someone to go inside the temple and re-seal the portal that was opened before things get really out of hand."
"In that case, you can count on me," Takato said, "When are we going to leave?"
"Unfortunately, I won't be coming with you on this endeavor. I have other matters to attend to. But Rika will be coming with you go guide you to the temple. She is a powerful Digimon Tamer, and will prove useful if there is a battle," Ryo stated.
Rika replied, "There is nothing to worry about with me on the job. I'll get you to the temple, help you find the portal, and then get you out again as well as take you home. All you have to do is to make sure that I don't get hurt, and I'll give you a nice tip in addition to your pay."
Takato nodded. "So when are we going to leave then Rika? Any special time you need to go?"
"Right now if you want," she said, "I've really no where to go, so we can leave whenever is most convenient. If you need to go back home first to tell your guardian what's going on, I can wait."
"No, Yamaki will understand. He knows I am the only one left with the power to close rifts between the worlds. I can head out right away," Takato told her.
So they went to the store and brought some healing items. Rika purchased a few vials that she could use to fill up her magic if needed be. When not fighting with her Digimon, the woman relied heavily on her sorcery. After they had finished their shopping, the two humans and two Digimon headed out of the town and walked towards the temple.

Now the first mission is upon them. Ok, here's the newly introduced Digimon
Toranmon (pronounced Tor-ah-mon), Rookie level. Full of energy, and often has her head in the clouds, and is only serious about battle. Her only attack is Gale Force. The name comes from Tora, which is Japanese for Tiger.
