Dark-Angel: Wassup peeps? I had a good day today and I feel like dancing
around my room listening to Eminem^_^. But anyway, I guess you didn't
really want or need to know that.
This is a longer chappie, and sorry if Rika kinda sounds like Jeri did after Leomon died, but I was watching those episodes and I became inspired. Ain't that great!
Thank you to all of my great reviewers; you've been a great help!
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon, but I wish I owned Eminem ^_^ *sighs*
Chapter 5
Inside Rika's Mind (I'm so original)
~~~
'Where am I?'
"You are inside your mind, Rika. You are very close to leaving this life, but you mustn't. The world needs for you. You must resist the force that is pulling you deeper into your dark void."
'Renamon?'
"I am not Renamon, but the soul of Renamon."
'You mean, you're..'
"After all the Digimon left a year ago, a part of Renamon was left inside of you, to look after you. I am that division. I'm really a sort of guardian angel, you see. I have been with you all throughout this last year."
'Why must I go back? What good is there waiting for me? Bakemonomon is trying to draw me into evil. If I go back, he wins, for he will succeed.'
"Why do think this? What makes you think that you cannot fight him?"
'I don't know. He seems to have an incredible aura around him.'
"Rika, you have to go back! You have to fight him."
'Why? I like it here. There's no pain and hurt. It sings to me..'
"Think about your friends, Rika. They need you. You need them. The two things compliment each other. You can't leave them."
'Bakemonomon said that loneliness is my destiny. Maybe I should listen to him..'
"Rika, listen to me! Remember when Jeri thought that her destiny was to be lonely? Look at how you were able to make her see the light at the end of the tunnel. You may have lost a lot in your life, Rika, but you have not lost as much as Jeri. First, she lost her mother, and then it was Leomon. She thought she was cursed; that she was a burden. She even thought that feeling nothing would be better than feeling sad. In some ways, that is true. But you can't throw your life away just because of loss. You cannot fight a battle with words alone. Rika, listen to me!"
'Loneliness.destiny'
"RIKA!"
A blinding flash of light erupted, and, after a while, everything was back to normal. Rika was sitting on the simple bed, legs tucked firmly underneath her, and Bakemonomon was standing over her, a smile playing on his face.
"The young one awakens. Welcome back."
"Thanks.." Rika replied dreamily. She was staring into space, a faint lost look on her face. "Where am I?"
"You are in the Digital World, don't you remember?" Bakemonomon faked a concerned voice, trying to be as polite as possible.
"Not really." Rika trailed off again, as she found herself looking at her strange clothing. She was no longer wearing the long-sleeved robe. She was now wearing a sleeveless, purple robe, tied at the waist with a pale yellow cloth. As she looked at her right arm, she noticed that there was a silver fox head tattoo engraved in it. The fox, or Kitsune, had four large stick- like objects impending out of it. When she looked at it more closely, she realised that they were swords.
"What is the significance of the swords rooting out from the Kitsune head?" Rika asked suddenly, almost making Bakemonomon jump.
"The swords represent that we are fighters. We don't let anything get in our way, especially emotions. A true warrior shows blood before tears. This world was made for us to conquer. We alone have the power to destroy, to conquer. To rise above all other kinds!" Bakemonomon answered, throwing his arms and raising them to the heavens in glory. "No one will stand in our way again!"
"You say this with so much confidence. How can you take your power for granted so much?" A confused Rika asked, seeming to have no knowledge of what had happened during the last few hours.
"When you have reached your full potential, you will become what you might say, the Queen of the Kitsune race. Your power will exceed any of that of our enemies. You alone will lead us to victory." Bakemonomon's eyes were gleaming with triumph. He was manipulating Rika in her most vulnerable period of time. Her memory of Renamon, her friends and family, they were now blurred in her mind, all jumbled up and waiting for her to put it all together again. Rika felt a severe headache coming on. She started to sweat, and her knees felt weak. She wanted to scream out loud in pain, but something held her back. It was Bakemonomon's mind! He was using it as a weapon to brainwash Rika completely. To make her do exactly what he wanted done. "If you give in to this, Rika, you will show weakness, and weakness is a burden to us all. Fight it, Rika! Fight it!"
For a split second, Rika's eyes flashed a sick, blood red shade, before she fell to the ground, exhausted. The sound of Bakemonomon's deep laugh echoed throughout the bastion. He had succeeded in taking over Rika's mind. All he had to do know was convince her that this was her destiny. To lead the dark Kitsune race to victory and triumph.
~~~Somewhere in The Digital World.~~~
Renamon's head shot up abruptly. It was either her imagination or Rika's was voice calling her. Her Tamer sounded like she was in pain. 'She needs my help!' "Hold on, Rika! I'm coming."
Renamon jumped from the tree that she was resting on, and focused her energy on the sound of Rika's voice. She could not sense where her Tamer was. She was either in a place where she could not be reached or she was dead. But something in her mind told her that the last option was, well, not really an option. Rika was alive..and in trouble.
"Rika, what has happened..?" Renamon closed her eyes and took a step forward. She heard a quick yelp, and then opened her eyes. Her body had come into contact with another. She recognised at once who it was.
"Ow, man you must work out!" The voice alleged accusingly.
"Ryo, please, this is no time to joke around. Rika is in trouble!"
"Renamon? Hey sorry, I didn't know it was you." Ryo apologized quickly, before registering what she had just said. "How much trouble is 'trouble'?"
"Well, I can't sense her at all in the Digital World, but I know she's here." Renamon paused for a moment before thinking of another thing. "And alive."
"Wow. I knew she was in trouble but I never thought that she would be unreachable."
"Yes, but I think I have an idea of where she might be." Renamon grew a dark frown on her almost unreadable features. 'The Dark Fortress.'
Renamon began walking, so Ryo thought that he should follow her. "Ah, one more thing before we continue."
Renamon stopped walking, and without turning around, gestured for him to continue with the request.
"Where's Cyberdramon?"
Renamon groaned in frustration, more directed at herself than at the teenage boy standing behind her.
*All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes, never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost
Come down, don't you resist
You have such a delicate wrist
And if I give it a twist
Something to hold when I lose my breath
Will I find something in that
So give me just what I need
Another reason to bleed
One by one hidden up my sleeve
One by one hidden up my sleeve
Hey, don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down
Hey, don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down
Will I find a believer
Another one who believes
Another one to deceive
Over and over, down on my knees
If I get any closer
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on, I've got nothing to hide
On and on, I've got nothing to hide
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down
All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes, never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around, then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost
And I'm done, done, on to the next one
Done, done, and I'm on to the next one
Done, done, and I'm on to the next one
Done, done, and I'm on to the next one
Done, done, and I'm on to the next one
Done, done, and I'm on to the next one
Done, done, and I'm on to the next one
Done, I'm done, and I'm on to the next
Done, done, on to the next one
Done, done, and I'm on to the next one
Done, done, on to the next one
Done, done, and I'm on to the next one
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down
Done, done, on to the next one
Done, I'm down, and I'm on to the next one*
Dark-Angel: So, how was that? Hehe..I love messing with Rika's mind. ^_^ I'm evil!
The song was "All My Life" by the Foo Fighters. Man that's a long song! I never realised..
Anyway, if anyone's still reading this, you can review and tell me what ya think, if you want. @_@
Until then, this is Dark-Angel reporting live from her room, and still listening to Eminem. ^_^ I think I'm in love..
