Takato looked into Rika's eyes. They appeared to radiate energy that seemed to penetrate right into his soul. He smiled at her, and then she smiled back at him. Before she knew what was happening, he pulled her close to his body and gave her a kiss that lasted for several long minutes.
"Takato," she whispered, "I want you to be careful in the battle ahead. If you die, my heart is going to break. Please, don't make me worry over you too, I have enough worry looking after myself."
"Don't worry about me Rika. I just don't want you to get hurt," Takato replied.
Henry, who had de-Digivolved, told Jeri, "There's something I have to tell you."
Jeri looked at him, noticing his nervousness. "What is it Henry? Is it something good?"
"Jeri," He began, "I love you. Could you ever find it in your heart to love me as well?"
Jeri looked at Takato for a minute. She had been in love with him ever since she had healed his wounds after the Balnia Temple caper. It had never occurred to her that he might have feelings for any another woman, let alone her twin sister. But since she loved Takato so much, she was willing to let go of him so that he might be happy with Rika. Besides, how could she compete with her sister's know how?
"I don't know Henry. I'll give it some thought. I really don't know you too well," she replied. It also occurred to her that she didn't know Takato much either. Maybe she could find some emotions for Henry in there if she looked deep in her heart.
Takato used his healing magic to fix up Rika's wounds. Then he healed up Toranmon as well. With all of that out of the way, the group continued on towards the end of the tunnel.

They found themselves at the first floor of Stavory Tower. But the energy of the D-Reaper had filled through the whole tower, and the structure had been warped. So no one could remember where to go to get to the next level, and their maps were now useless as well. But nobody was getting mad at it.
Henry suggested, "We should just look around and see what we can find. There's no way that anyone we talk to would know the way from here, so we just have to wing it. For once, I am not able to think up a more scientific plan for getting us out of here, so we just have to wing it."
They walked up the floors as quietly as possible. It was just as long as the tower had been the last time they had come, only the terrain had changed so floors were either bigger or smaller than they had been the last time they had come through. Takato had really been hoping the place had shrunk, and they wouldn't have to climb all of the stairs again.
On the tenth floor, they ran into a pair of Golemon. The two Digimon were blocking the way through the rest of the passage. Since it was the only way to go, the group assumed that it was the way to the eleventh level, and the rest of the dungeon.
Takato sighed. "Great, of all times for the enemy to attack us."
Suddenly, they noticed a ray of fire, an ax, and a black tornado heading right for the Golemon. When Takato turned around, he saw Kazu, Kenta, and Alice standing there with Warimon, Magimon, and a Fluttermon. The three of them ran up to the enemy.
"We'll keep them busy," Kazu stated, "Run, head for the top floor as fast as possible."
"Kazu! You're alive!" exclaimed Jeri.
Kenta yelled, "Go, we can't keep them busy forever."
Alice nodded. "You saved my partner from Galneon, this is how I can repay you."
The group continued to run. On the next level, they saw a three headed orange snake. He had a tail with a flame on it. Around each neck was a chain with a flame charm on it.
"What is this? Better check the Digivice," said Takato, "Tiamon, Ultimate Level. A powerful warrior, he likes to hide in high places. His special attack is Triple Inferno."
"Triple Inferno," screamed Tiamon. Everyone dodged in order to protect themselves from his power. When they looked back, he was coming around for another pass.
Rika told everyone, "We'd better all get into our Bio-Merges. We need all the power we can get."
So they all pulled out their Digivices, and merged with their partners. Soon, the four Megas were ready to go toe to toe with the giant snake. Efreemon looked at the enemy. "We have to be careful. Both me and the enemy have the Fire element, so my attacks won't be very effective."
"You also won't take much damage," Deomon reminded him, "How about you run out in front and allow him to go after you, while Marimon attacks, as water is the most affective in this situation. Then Slyphmon and I will go after him while he is weak."
Efreemon charged. He used his Fist of the Inferno, and made contact with the enemy. Tiamon then countered with the Three-Head Crush. Efreemon was knocked down, but wasn't' out.
"Wand of the Sea," called out Marimon.
Sylphmon yelled out, "Staff of Lightning."
Deomon ran towards the enemy as well. "Knife of Rock."
All three attacks hit the enemy at once. Tiamon felt the shock at once. He fell to the floor and began writhing in pain. Soon, he was dead.
"Almost there," Takato stated, "Only one more floor to go. Let's hurry up."
They continued running towards the stairs. Once there, they began their search for the top room. The floor had become even smaller than it had been last time - - that's saying something. So it took little time for the group to discover it. When they arrived, they opened it, and went inside to do battle with the monstrous entity known as the D-Reaper.

Final Digimon that needs introducing. . .
Tiamon, Ultimate Level form of Hydramon. Unlike his previous form, he prefers high up places such as mountains and towers. His temper remains. His attacks are Triple Inferno and Three-Head Crush. The name comes from Tiamat, another three-headed dragon monster in many RPGs.
