Chapter 14
I felt chilly, like some presence was in there with us. But it was only us Tamers, Lisa, and D'Artagnan. Takato had seemed to felt the loss right away. Every one else was in their own private little world. All deep in thought. Takato, Ruki, Henry, Sue, and the boy named Ryo, all of them thought to the past.
Beep! Beep!
We looked at one of the D'Arc's. A hologram appeared. There was a werewolf like Digimon in it. It looked similar to D'Artagnan, but it wasn't him. This was a jet black wolf. His name... Lokimon.
They talked to each other in their language. "D'Artagnan," Sue said, "where is the portal?"
"Why, in the park." They all turned and glared at Takato. Maybe he knew that all this time and never told them.
"OK, let's meet there in an hour. We leave then. Just us five old Tamers, Joan, Lisa, and D'Artagnan." She repeated this in Japanese for them. We all nodded and when our separate ways.

We waited in Juri's room. We were going to need to leave soon. I didn't think they would wait.
But that wasn't the least of my problems. This girl, this was her. His partner. The one who wasn't able to save him.
I didn't feel safe around her. Not one bit. I had learned to trust Joan now. But this one child, this one teenage; she made me nervous.
"Tell me, before I go and find out for my self. What is Diecotra like?" I heard Joan ask me.
"It's a beautiful place. We have great cities. Maybe not like yours, but at our level of engineering, they are great just the same. Since our world was redesigned we have majestic mountains. Deserts; even barren waist lands. Our forests and oceans go on for miles." I saw Joan's eyes widen.
Juri picked up an old decorated sock from her dresser. "Ruki-chan, remember this," the red haired girl rolled her eyes as the other one tried to put it on. "Well it used to fit," she set it back down.
"Come on, they are waiting for us." Sue said crossing her arms.
"Fine... fine, just let me get my D'Arc. There found it." She smiled, and then clipped it to her belt.
"Good, let's go." Ruki said and turned to leave.
Only minutes later we arrived in the park. There was a little brick shelter. The others were already there. Takato was down on his hands and knees clearing the portal.
"I think its fine now," Ryo said.
"Oh, it is, well I don't see you on your hands and knees clearing the premises." Ruki quickly told him. Ryo held his finger out to interrupt but Takato stopped him.
"I think he's right Ruki-chun, its clear." Ruki crossed her arms and looked at him with dislike.
"So who will go through first," Sue said, once in Japanese and once in English. Everyone turned to Joan.
"What?"
"You're the only fighting Tamer. You go first," Ruki said in English. Joan stepped up to the portal and peered in.
"Ah, no. You have done this before Ruki, you first." She gave a gesture and pointed towards the portal. Ruki stepped beside Joan.
"You sure you don't want to go first," she asked.
"Yeah!" Joan looked at Ruki and then back to the portal. Ruki placed one hand on Joan's back and gave her a hard shove. She looked back at us.
"I... I guess I'm next." I said and walked up to the portal. "See you guys there," I said with a smile. Took one more look at Earth then stepped into darkness.
