Chapter 14
"Go Salamon, destroy his Wormon"ordered Kari.
"Hm"said Ken in a nonphased tone.
Kari:900 Ken:200
"You think your skills can match mine? You're the weakest player, the only one you are superior to is Kazu, and that's not saying much"said Ken.
"Just shut up and play"said Kari.
"Your pitiful mother will die Kamiya, and so will your brother"
She saw Tai in the backround. He was lying dead on the ground.
"TAI"
Kari leaped in the air, but found herself falling. Her head lightened ash she awaited impact.
"I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die"she thought.
"Looks like you lose" **************************************************
Kari woke up with a jolt.
"Kari, did you have a bad dream"asked T.K.
Kari was trying to cope with her surrounding. She was at the tournament.
"Is this a dream"asked Kari.
"No, I feel real enough, it's a good thing you woke up, the next match is about to start"
Kari looked down. Ryo and Takato were standing in the arena.
"Let the match begin"said the announcer. ************************************************
"Well Takato don't say I didn't warn ya"thought Rika. ***********************************************
"Mushroomon, your up first"said Takato playing him.
Ryo drew, and snickered.
"What's Takato thinking playing that thing"said Kenta.
"You're right, Mushroomon is weak, even for a Rookie. It makes little sense for him even to have one in his deck"said Henry. ************************************************
"It's official Takato, you are hopeless"thought Rika.
"Who are those guys"asked Tai brining chips in.
"ZThe one on the left is Ryo, the best player around. Takato's the other one. I know Takato, he dosen't stand a chance"said Rika.
She dared not reveal her past with Ryo, it hurt too much.
**Flashback**
Rika:900 Ryo:800
Rika had Dark Tryanamon on the field, and Ryo had Agumon on the field. It was Ryo's turn, he drew.
"Warp Digivolution, digivolve Agumon to MetalPiedmon"
"WHAT"
The 300 point bonus was enough to win him the match. **********************************************
While absoloutely everyone was swooning over Ryo, Rika walked the streets, alone.
"I lose one match and everyone's ignoring me. I don't need them anyway. I never had friends before, and I never will"she said to herself, dening the hurt inside her. No one, even her own mother, was there for her, they all wanted her to loose. Now that she has, the torture would soon begin.
**End Flashback**
Tears welled up in Rika's eyes, but she held them back.
"I never admitted it to myself. I hate being alone. If I hate being lonely so much, why do I push everyone away? Maybe I AM worthless, maybe I should've never been born. What good am I? I'm just taking up space"thought Rika.
"What's wrong"asked Tai his mouth full of chips.
"Nothing"responded Rika with a look of sorrow on her face.
"Tell me the truth. It always helps to talk"said Tai.
Rika sighed.
"I'm not ready"said Rika.
"Okay, I'll wait. You can tell me when you are ready"said Tai.
Rika turned her head towards Tai.
"Thank you"
A tear fell from her eye. **************************************************
"For my move, I play Mechanarimon. Twin beam attack"
His 350 was enough to crush Mushroomon's 300.
Ryo:100
Takato drew.
"Not a good start"said Henry.
"I've heared of him. That's Ryo, he's undefeated, and the absoloute best in thw whole city"said T.K.
"In order to get that money, I'll have to make it second best"thought Kari.
"Go Growlmon"
Growlmon appeared on the field.
"Attack, Pyro Blaster"
Before the attack hit, Mechenarimon dissapeared.
"What gives"demanded Takato.
"I had this option card ready. It's called Warp zone. This protects my Digimon from harm, and Digivolves him"
"NO WAY"
Now on the field appeared a new creature!
"Meet MetalMamemon. He's a machine Digimon as well. Now MetalMamemon, wipe out his dino. Metal Smirkbomb attack"
It shot an attack out of it's cannon, destroying Growlmon.
Ryo:200
Takato drew.
"I play Flymon. I'll use his special ability to raise him into the air"
Flymon flew out of reach.
"I don't think so, I play the option card Fly trap"
"No, that keeps my Digimon from flying"
"Right, and it decreases it's power by 20 points. MetalMamemon, butcher that bug"
His claw reached out, and slammed Flymon to the ground, destroying it.
Ryo:300
"Man, Takato's really getting slammed here"said Henry.
"Takato's good, but there's no way he's beating this guy, he'll probaly win the whole thing"said Kazu.
"Poor Takato"said Kenta.
"C'mon, I know I can do this, I just have to keep going, there has to be a weakness in his strategy"thought Takato.
"C'mon kid, you'll have to do a lot better then that if you expect to win"said Ryo.
"Kid! That does, I've had it with you! Prepare to lose it all Ryo"
"All bark, no bite"
"You'll feel the bite soon enough" *************************************************
"I knew it, Takato never had a chance"thought Rika.
"Man, this Ryo guy is good"said Tai shoving chips into his mouth. **************************************************
Takato drew.
"No"he thought"I have nothing in my hand that can help me"
