Digimon Tamers: United We Stand! Chapter 6

"Wow? Who is that?" Hiorkazu asked looking at the Digimon who just saved their lives.

"His name is Shiisamon," came a voice. Then a girl stepped out from behind the Digimon.

"Who are you?" Ryo asked, eyeing her suspiciously.

"My name is Minami," she said, turning to face Ryo.

"Are you trying to hurt us?" Kenta asked.

"Well, if I was trying to hurt you, then why would I save your life?" She held up a pale silver D-Arc. "Besides, is Takato around?"

"You know Takato?" Hirokazu asked, surprised.

"Of course! He saved me from that shark-type Digimon during the summer."

"Wow! I remember him telling us about that!" Hirokazu said, eyes lighting up.

"Yeah, and he said that they had to fight Galfmon!" Kenta said, his eyes lighting up also.

"Whatever, but have you seen him?" she asked, a little impatient.

"Well, we have seen him, but it's been a while." Kenta said.

"Hey! How did you get to the Digital World?" Ryo asked, after all that time trying to think of something to get her.

"Well, simple, a Digi-Port!"

Ryo was stumped. He sighed. "Well, do you want to go help us look for him?"

"All right."

"Minami, what about the tomb?" asked Shiisamon, his first time to talk.

"That was only a Sicklemon. The one Pharaohmon is looking for will be in a much higher tomb," she replied.

"You mean, you know about Pharaohmon?" Ryo asked in surprise.

"Of course! Why else would I have come here?" Minami asked.

Ryo sighed again. 'Girls!' he thought.

"Let's be on our way then!" Minami jumped on Shiisamon's back and then took off.

"Hey! Wait for us!" Ryo, Hirokazu, and Kenta all took off after her.

"Crap! We can't get in!" Takato pounded on the pyramid.

"Pyro Flame!" Guilmon shouted, attempting to blast an opening in the hard limestone.

"It must have a spell on it or something! We have got to get in there!" Takato yelled, furiously.

"Oh Leomon, what do we do?" Juri whispered to her D-Arc. Then it started to glow, and a holographic Leomon appeared. 'Just like when I was trapped in the D-Reaper!' Juri thought.

"Juri, be brave and strong. Remember, I'll always be with you!" Then it flashed off.

"He's right! Out of my way, Takato!" She pushed him away.

"What?" he murmured confused.

"We have to get in there to save Ruki! Leomon! Lend me your strength! FIST OF PRIDE!" she yelled, holding her D-Arc up to the pyramid. A light emitted from it, hitting the limestone blocks. Then, nothing happened. Juri drew back, her cheeks burnt from embarrassment. "Well, it was worth a try!" she shrugged.

BABOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM! A huge blast sounded, and dust flew around everywhere. As it cleared, they saw a huge hole in the pyramid. Takato stared. "Juri! You did it!" he laughed.

Juri smiled. "Thanks Leomon!" she said.

"Come on! We have to get in there!" So without any delay, Takato, Guilmon, and Juri bounded through the opening.

"Terriermon, do you see anything?" Jenrya asked.

"Nope, not a thing at all. How about you Lopmon?"

"Nothing! Have you seen anything Suchien? Suchien?"

: Snores :

"She's asleep again!" Lopmon hung her head.

"Well, wake her up, we find to find Takato and the others to see if they have Ruki." Jenrya said, giving the landscape one last look.

After Suchien awoke, they started on their journey.

"Minami! Slow down!" Ryo called after her.

Minami sped ahead on Shissamon. "Just catch up! We have to find Takato! I have a bad feeling about all this!

They reached the large pyramid to find that someone had already been there. They landed on the ground and dismounted their Digimon. "It's so big!" Hirokazu said, looking at the towering shape.

"There's an opening!" Minami said. They all followed her through.

"I see something over there, Jenrya!" Terriermon pointed to the pyramid.

"That looks like a bad guys hang out to me!" Jenrya said. They headed toward it.

"Takato! I smell Kenta and the others!" Guilmon said, sniffing around the air.

"You do?" he asked.

"It must be because Kenta didn't take a bath this morning!" Juri laughed.

"They're coming closer!" Guilmon said, going back the way they just came.

"Wait boy!" Takato said running after him.

"Makino Ruki! Isn't it sweet! Your friends have all gathered here! Now I can kill them all at once!" Pharaohmon laughed.

"Where is Kyubimon?" Ruki spat.

"You want to see your precious Kyubimon? Well here she is!" Pharaohmon stepped aside to reveal the silver and crimson Kyubimon.

Ruki gasped. "What did you do to her?"

"Oh I just rearranged her data, and made her my slave! Now you get to watch her destroy your friends!"

"Takato!"

"Minami? Is that you?" he asked.

"Of course!" she ran up to him and gave him a big hug. "How are you? I thought that you were in danger!"

"Well, we are!" He told her the story about Pharaohmon capturing Ruki and him turning Kyubimon against them. Ryo listened intently.

"That's just the half of it! Pharaohmon is looking for a very powerful Digimon! I'm not sure what it's name nor how he will summon it. It is supposedly trapped inside a large tomb. If it is let out, it could be utter chaos!"

"Then we have to find Ruki! If only Jenrya were her, then" Takato was interrupted.

"I am here!" Jenrya appeared at the entrance with Terriermon, Suchien, and Lopmon.

"Yes! Now, we have to go get Ruki, no matter what the circumstances!" Ryo said.

Takato held his D-Arc in the air. "United we stand!"
