Disclaimer: I don't know Digimon.
Rika (Angry): Why do I have to fix your stupid wall?
Me (Facing her): Because it was your drunken digimon that broke my wall, okay.
BlackRenamon: Hey at least it wasn't like last time.
Takato: It couldn't have been that bad?"
Me: Kid you have no idea.
BlackRenamon: Well what are you planning on doing this time, any chance we could get a heads up?
Me: Well I'm sorta going to leave a little mysterious at the end.
Renamon (Comes stumbling into the room): Oh GUUUUUUIIIIIILLLLMMMOOON.
Guilmon (Looking nervous): Oh boy. (Then he runs off)
Me (Trying not to laugh): Well HAHA, I guess we should, HAHAHA get on with the HAHAHA chapter.
In-Training: Chapter 9: Red eyes.
Renamon with Rika on her shoulder and Rumiko beside the fox-like digimon were on route to the Matsuki's bakery. A day had already gone by ever since IceDevimon attack the three, but he was the least on their minds at the moment.
"Well at least grandma wasn't to mad about the hole in my wall," Rika said.
"We're just lucky that your grandmother is a really kind and forgetting person," Renamon said.
"But I still worried about IceDevimon and his new partner," Rumiko said solemnly.
"Yes no tell what kind if trouble that digimon and your bother can stir up together," Renamon said.
"Renamon how many times do I have to tell you, Kai is no brother of my," Rumiko said sharply.
"Many times," Renamon simply answered.
"But I'll like to know why bring that icy freak back?" Rika asked.
"Well I think it's obvious dear," Rumiko said.
"Yes next to the D-reaper, that icy digimon was the closest thing to a villain we had ever fought," Renamon answered.
"I guess so," Rika muttered.
"But Kai is keeping his newest henchmon on a short leash," Renamon said.
"So you also notice the collar," Rumiko said.
Renamon simply nodded as they walked past a newsstand. Standing there was a man about normal size in an icy white turtleneck sweater with dark brown cuffs. His jeans were also icy white and he had dark brown sneakers. He lows the paper to watch the fasten fading bodies of the two female fighter, revealing a strange symbol on his sweater, icy white hair combed back and a pair of red eyes staring hatefully at the human and digimon. His lips curled back into a grin, revealing two fangs in front of his teeth.
I hate to admit this, but with this new ability that no good human gave me is really useful, this guy thought.
(Flashback)
Standing in the lair of his new partner, IceDevimon stared at Kai with a cold eyes as the redhead searched through one of his many spell books. A grin blossomed on the evil spell caster as if he found something useful.
"IceDevimon," Kai said coldly.
"What?" the icy fallen angel asked just as coldly.
"This spell I just found would allow you to walk freely among the public without anyone noticing," Kai said.
And before the icy demon had a choice to respond, the twisted spell caster began chanting," From shadows you hide, never to show your face to the light, now may you raise anew as your body takes on new shape as your skin changes and your horns vanish. Where once a demon stood now bring forth a man."
Then the icy digimon suddenly felt dizzy. His vision blurred at his felt his body beginning to take on a new shape. He felt his horns retracted into his head as something else grew out of his skill. His arms and legs shrunk a bit as his skin became loose and more fabric-like. His claws withdraw into his fingers and his dark brown belt disappeared. Finally his wings folded into his back. The now transformed IceDevimon collapsed to his knee completely exhausted.
"What did you do to me?" he asked in an anger, deeper tone of voice.
The icy white digimon brought his hand on to his throat in total shock. Kai only chuckled as his waved his right hand and a full body mirror appeared in front of him. IceDevimon looked into the mirror, only to found a human dressed in a icy white attire with matching hair and red eyes.
"What have you done to me!?" the now human IceDevimon roared.
He looked ready to jump on Kai and tare his eyes out. But Kai just snapped his finger and his icy friend could fine the effect if the collar that was now hidden under his turtleneck. He began gripping as his throat, trying to take in a breath of air.
"Relax, you can changed back at will," Kai said then snapped his fingers.
Immediately the ice colored human could breath again and stood.
"But why do this?" he roared.
"Because that sister of my and her digimon friend knows my face," Kai said and then a wicked grin formed on his face. "But thy don't knows yours." And pointed at him.
IceDevimon thought that one over for about a minute and then said coldly," Alright."
(End of Flashback)
IceDevimon now in his new human body was spying on his prey. He folded the paper up and tucked it under his arm and began walking five steps behind his prey. He stopped when he saw the three he was following entered into a building. He stood at a corner, studying the building. He didn't know, but for some reason this building he was staring at seemed familiar. But the icy clothed human just shrugged it off and decided he better leave before a human saw him and got curious.
So IceDevimon walked off in the opposite direction of the building, but he did look back at the building one last time, still couldn't shack the feeling of familiarity.
(In the Mutsaki's Bakery)
The bread making couple acknowledge their visitors with sad nods and then Rika, Rumiko and Renamon climbed the stairs to Takato's room. Once in the room, Rika notice Takato, his skin back to its light brown color, by his makeshift bed with his TV remote by his side. The curse tamer just off of the larger fox-like shoulder and walked over the bed. She then jumped up and joined her follow cursed tamer.
Both Renamon and Rumiko had small smiles on their faces as their watched Rika get close to Takato. After a few seconds of staring, the two broke up and Renamon joined Guilmon. Rumiko went over to the window and added some kind of square tan paper to the wall. It was one of Miss Makino's shielding spells, so Kai couldn't enter into the house. Then she went over to the two little digimons and took something out of her right pocket.
She kneeled down and said," I know you might feel a little embarrass by this but it's necessary," and snapped on a nametag just like Rika's onto Takato's collar.
The little brown lizard did like embarrass but Rika said," Hey don't sweat it gogglesbrains, see I got one too." Then she showed him hers.
Rumiko got up and looked at the two larger digimons and notices that their tails were intertwined. Rumiko smiled but that soon faded. See all of this brought back memories for the famous modal. Memories that was both happy and sad. For seeing this brought back memories of the man she loved.
Rumiko closed her eyes and could see the smile face of the man she loved greatly. His black air flowing in the unseen breeze, hands in the pockets of his black jacket. His shinning violet eyes were just so full of life.
But soon that image was replaced with the one of his face after his death. Closed eyes that would never open again and never shine their light to the world. His face had a look of depression on it, like he was mad for some reason. Blood stain cuts lined that face that Rumiko loved just so much.
Rumiko shook her head to clean it and opened her eyes. No one in the room had yet taken notice of the model's strange behavior.
"Well I think I'm going to take my leave now," Rumiko said then faded into the shadows.
"I would still like to know how she's does that," Takato said in amazement.
"Like I said before it's just something my dad taught to her," Rika said proudly.
"Wow sounds like someone has found some new respected for their family," Takato teased.
Then he braced himself for the tail slapping he was about to get. But surprisingly nothing came. He looked over at Rika, only to found her eyes staring down at the coverings of his larger bed and zoned out.
Rika?" Takato tilted his head a little to his right to get a better look at the little fox's face. But what he saw really shocked him. Rika looked like she was going to cry.
"Rika what's wrong?" Takato asked softly while notching her with his snort.
"Do you really want to know?" she asked softly.
"Yeah, I want you to know I'm here for you," Takato answered softly.
"At time I fell ashamed at myself," Rika said quietly.
That seemed to get the attention of the two larger digimons.
"Why do you feel like that Rika?" Takato asked.
"Because both of my fathers sounded so noble and nice, while I was mean and hateful," Rika said with great sorrow in her voice.
"But Rika-" Takato was saying but he interrupted.
"I even caused the death of my own stepfather!" Rika screamed.
Everyone, including Renamon's mouth dropped, but Takato asked," Why do you say that?"
"It happened along time ago," Rika spoke softly.
(Flashback.Rika's P.O.V.)
I was five when it happened. My mother was out doing something and my grandmother was out shopping. It was a nice day, so my dad decided to take me outside to play. I was now playing with a ball, tossing it up and down, while my step dad watched from the pouch, a soda in his hand.
"Hey kiddo mind if I join in the fun?" he asked with one of the sweetest smiles you could even imagine.
"Sure daddy," I said with a cute smile.
He put is soda down and stood up. But just then the phone rang. And since he was the only one home, he needed to get it.
My dad sighs and said," Hang on a minute Rika dear."
He then hurried into the house. I could her him talking as I continued to play. I tossed my ball high into the air and missed it. It rolled out of the yard and I chased it into the streets. I caught it, but I had no idea that I ran into the street yet. Then a car was speeding towards me and the driver didn't seem to be paying attention. But when I saw the speeding red sport car heading towards me I froze in fear.
"RRRRRRIIIIIIKKKKKKAAAAAAA!" my dad screamed as he dove and passed me out of the way.
I saw as he collided with the car with a faint thump noise. I looked away as tears began running down my face. After a few seconds of crying I looked up to see my father, lying there in my mother's arms. She was just returning home and saw the entire thing; she was crying her heart out. I got to my feet and ran to them with teary eyes. I caught the last half of something he was saying.
".Live and take care of Rika. It would be what he wanted." And with that he dead right in my mother's arms.
(End of Flashback.no one P.O.V.)
"Even since that day, I thought if I was only stronger, then maybe just maybe he would still be alive," Rika said, tearing socking into her fur.
"But it only got worse after that," Renamon said.
She was now sitting on the bed, holding her cursed tamer close her and trying to comfort her. Guilmon was beside the bed, looking confused.
"Why do you say that Renamon?" he asked.
"After that day Rika's mother became very sad and depressed. I had a feeling she would have taken her life if it wasn't from her second husbands words. But in time she tried to use her work as a means to escape her painful past. But she truly didn't want to forget her past and the men she loved. So she tried to bring someone from that past," Renamon explained evenly. "Namely Rika."
"Oh I think I see," Takato said.
But Guilmon still looked confused, but even he knew when not to push things. So the three just stood there and let Rika cry her heart out, her tear now socking into the larger fox-like digimon's fur. But Renamon didn't care.
(Kai's lair)
IceDevimon still cloaked in his human form enter into Kai's lair and found the twisted human asleep, sitting at his table with his crystal orb of his displaying something in a wide 3-D picture. The icy digimon in human clothing notice the look of pure hatred on the human's face.
So he watched the display of whatever the orb was showing. Two men were charging at each other, their fists held high. They meant with punches to each of their faces. But both shrugged the blows off as they jumped backwards from each other. Both landed and one with black hair's mouth was moving, but no sound was coming from it. Then the redhead that must be Kai in his in his younger years said something and took eight objects out of his sweater.
That's when IceDevimon realized that he was watching an old memory from Kai. But why it showed the memory like an old movie and not from Kai's own eyes were something not even the icy fallen angel could figure out.
The younger Kai held out the things he just token out from his sweater and they were draggers. Four of them were in each of the redhead's hands. Then Kai said something as a grin crossed his face. Then the threw the draggers at his opponent. But the black haired human easily dodge them by doing what looks like dancing steps. But then Kai pull out eight more dagger from his sweater and threw some of them, instead of all of them this time. And again the black hair human dodged them easily. But at the last moment Kai threw his only remaining dragger and cut right through the side of the black haired human's left leg. Kais said something as his grin widen and turned into a smile of victory. But that soon faded as the black haired human said something while looking at his cut. But the grin returned to Kai's face as he said something. Then both got into fighting stances and ready themselves for another round.
But then the picture started to waver and soon disappeared all together. That caused IceDevimon to frown. He really wanted to see the ending.
Kai opened his eyes and looked at his henchmon. "That was along time ago. He was the one who gave me this scar," he said lower as he ran his finger down the lightening bolt shaped scar on his cheek.
IceDevimon unfolded his wings from his back and their covered his human body. Once they unfolded, he was back to his digimon form. "What were the point of the draggers if that human could dodge them?"
"Simple their were tipped with poison, meant for only that human," Kai said smugly.
"He seemed very skill for a human that is," IceDevimon said.
"Skilled indeed and he's the father of the Nonaka brat," Kai said.
Just hearing that name made the icy digimon hatred go through the roof. But he kept his expressions calm.
"What did you find during your hunt?" Kai asked smoothly.
"The Nonaka brat, her mother and that pathetic digimon Renamon went into a bakery that seemed to stir my memory a bit," IceDevimon replied.
"That bakery is the home of Takato Matsuki, the tamer of Guilmon. You remember that digimon don't you?" Kai asked, while looking at his henchmon sideway.
The icy digimon rage was so great that he couldn't hide it this time. Yes he remembered that digimon all to wall. That red lizard was the one who defeated him and loaded his data.
"Yes I remember him," he hissed through grunted teeth.
Good," Kai said smoothly as that grin of his formed on his face. "Because I got a plan that would insure us that both get what we want."
"I'm listening," IceDevimon said coldly as he folded his arms across his chest.
(Later at the park)
Takato had gotten bored after Rika and Renamon had left, so he decided to take a walked through the pack. But his parents didn't think that was such a good idea. So after a little argument Takato was allowed to go, but if only Guilmon came with him. So now the cursed tamer was riding atop of his friends' head. People were giving the two strange looks as they pasted by them. But they just tried to ignore them. But unknown to the two dinos, another set of eyes were keeping a close watch over them. Watching and waiting for the prefect moment to make their move.
This feels good doesn't it boy?" Takato asked.
"Yeah it does," Guilmon said.
Then the red dino-boy looked to his right, nose high in the air and sniffing the air.
"Something wrong Guilmon?" Takato asked.
"I don't know, I smell something funny," Guilmon replied.
Just then a man with icy white hair and attire matching his hair, bumped into Guilmon, causing Takato to fall off of his spot on Guilmon's head. But the guy didn't stop and apologize. That kind of made Takato mad.
"Hey you, aren't you going to say you're sorry?" the little lizard called out.
The guy stopped and faced the digimon and cursed tamer. His dark blood red sunglasses reflecting the light of fading sun.
He walked back to the and said cold and harshly," For what?"
"For bumping into my friend," Takato replied while looking at the guy
"No he bumped into me, so he's should be the one apologizing," the guy said coldly as he jolted his thumb into his chest.
Something about all of this seems to set balls a ringing in Takato's head. Just then Guilmon eyes went viral and he began growling.
"Takato something's not right about this guy," Guilmon said in his battle tone.
But before Guilmon could do anything, a wicked smile formed on the guy's face and his hand snapped out in a blink of an eye, hitting Guilmon hard on the head. The red dino digimon fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Guilmon!" Takato exclaimed as he rushed over to his friends.
But then the mysterious attacker grabbed Takato by his golden collar and lifted him to eye level. Just then Kai joined this new side and Takato became very afraid.
(Nonaka household)
It was Renamon turn to give Rika her nightly flea. After she was done bathing her cursed tamer, the two joined Rumiko and her mother at the table. While they ate, they heard it.
"Oh girls."
All four immediately recognized it as the smug voice of Kai. Rumiko bolted up and shouted," Where are you and what do you want?"
"Oh I just throwing my voice, think I'm ready for the big times," Kai joked.
Renamon calmly stood up and repeated the part of Rumiko's sentence," What do you want?"
"Oh nothing much, I just wanted to see if you could meet my challenge," the ghostly smooth voice said.
"What kind of challenge?" Rika asked forcefully.
"A puzzle of a sort. What is red, while and black all over?"
The four women thought it over for a minute but it was Renamon who figure it out.
"Guilmon?" she asked the air with just a small hint of worry in her voice.
"Good, now what's brown and white?"
"Takato?" Rika exclaimed, the worry clean in her voice.
"Good now what are they when they're not safe?"
"They're in danger," the elder said evenly.
"Good mother. Finally were is the place of your greatest fear my darling niece?"
The four thought about this one for a moment but came up with nothing. But then Renamon snapped her paws.
"Rumiko I think I know where they're being held," she said.
The famous model nodded and said," Led the way."
They both head to the door when someone stopped them.
"Wait! I want to come too!" Rika exclaimed.
The two female fighters looked at the little red furred digimon with concern in their eyes.
"Sorry young one, but this is one fight you have no choice but to stay out of," Renamon said evenly but had just a small hint of concern in it.
Rumiko walked over to the table, kneeled down and began stroking her daughter's fur. "I promise you I'll bring Takato and Guilmon back safely," her voice was soft and gently.
She then straightened up and looked at Renamon. Both exchanged quick nods then both faded into the shadows in their own style.
Please be careful both of you, Miss Makino thought as she worried granddaughter in her arm and began patting her to calm her down.
(.)
With Renamon leading Rumiko, both were racing across rooftops. But Rumiko notice a change in Renamon's movements. The vaccine-type was moving in a quicker pace then usually. She even nearly missed a jump. So the famous model knew something was eating her friend and it didn't take much to figure it out either.
It would seem Renamon had deeper feeling for Guilmon then I first thought, Rumiko thought with s tiny smile on her face.
"We're here," Renamon said.
Rumiko joined her friend and recognized the building she was looking at. She remembers watching a report about how this building was having freak weather problem that not even the weather specialist could figure out. Eyes witness had said they seen the top of the building covered in ice.
"This is where IceDevimon took Rika when he kidnapped her," Renamon said.
"And this is where Rika was forced to face her worse fears right? Rumiko asked.
Renamon nodded and said," Yes."
"So what do you think? Should we knock or just go in," Rumiko asked sarcastically
Renamon flashed one of her small smile and said," Why don't we just go in."
Rumiko grin and said," What I just was thinking."
Then both faded into the shadow in their own special ways. They then went it into the building and decided stair would be the best choice. Both were jumping them two at a time. When they reached the top, both returned into the light. Renamon reached out for the door handle but stopped. She glazed over at Rumiko and the famous model nodded. Returning the nod, Renamon opened the door and both went in. Immediately they spotted Takato and Guilmon. Guilmon was unconscious with his hands and legs bended by energy bonds. Next to him was a cage that held the little brown skinned lizard. Takato was still awake even though he looked scared senseless. When he finally notice the two woman warrior, he shouted," Get out of here! It's a trip!"
Immediately after he said that, the two fighters heard the door behind them slammed shut. They looked behind themselves in time to see energy forming a cage-like object, making any escape impossible.
That when they heard clapping from behind them and turn around to see Kai, standing next to the sleeping Guilmon, clapping his hands and that usual calm smug grin on his face. IceDevimon descended from the roof and landed next to Kai, his arms folded across his chest.
Kai stopped clapping and said in a cold sarcastically tone," I'm surprised you decided to come and pick up these poor kiddies."
"The friends of my daughter and Renamon are more important to me then any dress," Rumiko said firmly.
"Then why don't we just skip all of this chitchat and get down to business," IceDevimon said as uncrossed his arms and showed his claws.
Then the two tyrants charged at the fighters. Kai tackled his sister, while IceDevimon lifted off the ground and grabbed Renamon.
Renamon tried her best to break free of her captor's grip but the icy fallen angel had a firm grip on her. So putting all of her strength into it, the vaccine-type elbowed IceDevimon in the face and he lost his hold on her. Renamon landed and faced her opponent as he descended to the ground.
"Face it Renamon, without my tamer by your side you're nothing by a weak child," IceDevimon said with a smug smirk on his face.
"We'll see about that," Renamon said and then charged.
Rumiko was now struggling to get free of a monstrous bear hug Kai was giving her. Kai had that usual grin on his face, but that seem disappeared as Rumiko kneed him in the grain. Then Rumiko pulled her right arm freed and used it to punch her twisted brother in the face. That was enough to free her and then she got Kai into a tight headlock. Kai who was dozed from the punch, but soon regain his senses and drove his elbow into his sister's gut. But the famous model refused to let go. So Kai continued to ram his elbow into Rumiko's gut, until she finally let him go. Rumiko hunched over from the pain as she held her gut. Then Kai delivered an upper cut to his sister's chin that sent her hurtling through the air.
Rumiko recovered by doing a simple backwards ball roll and landed on her feet. But Kai immediately got in her face, giving the famous model no time to react. The evil tyrant ducked down and tripped his opponent. Luckily Rumiko caught herself by holding her hands out. Then doing a handstand back flip the famous model was able to get back to her feet and into a fighting stance that Kai knew all to well.
"Don't tell me you're going to say that stupid line of your looser husband," Kai said irritate.
A grin form on Rumiko's face as she said," Only to make you mad." Then she charged. "Emotions like love and Kindness are the power behind those fists of my!" And nailed Kai in the face with a punch.
The twisted Makino fell to the ground the rolled backward to back his feet. He got back into his fighting stance and charged. But the famous model faded into the shadows as Kai threw a punch. Then he was nailed from behind but when he spun around, he saw no one. Then he was nailed in the chain, which sent him to the ground. He looked up to see Rumiko, her arms crossed and a grin on her face.
Kai got to his feet and angrily said," You worm, you're pay for that!"
"Well send the check through the mail," Rumiko replied sarcastically as she got back into her fighting stance.
That only made Kai madder as his charged.
Takato was doing his best to watch both fights, he saw that Rika's mother was doing fine. It was Renamon he was really worried about. She was up against a champion leveled digimon that could fly. So she was at a big disadvantage.
IceDevimon was hovering in the air and was using his slightly longer arms to hold the vaccine-type at bay. But Renamon got passed her opponents defenses by jumping on his arms on and running on it. She then nailed the icy foe in the face with her tail. The blow stunned IceDevimon long enough for Renamon to jump up into the air to prepare her diamond storm. But before she could even call out the name of her attack, IceDevimon flew up to her and kneed her one. The wind was knocked out of the fox-like digimon and she fell to the ground, gasping for air as the icy fallen angel descended.
IceDevimon saw his partner in trouble and picked up the still recovering Renamon. Next he threw her at Rumiko. The famous model saw her friend coming and caught her, but that threw her off balance. Kai used this to deliver a kick to his opponent's face. Then IceDevimon attacked, making it impossible for the two to go on the offence.
Takato tore his attention away from the fight and looked at the still sleeping Guilmon, scoring loudly.
"Guilmon, you got to wake up, we need ya boy!" the little brown lizard screamed.
But the rookie digimon continued to snore loudly. Takato tried to wake up his digimon for the next few minutes but nothing seemed to work. Then an idea popped into the cursed tamer's head.
"Guilmon! Renamon is in danger!" Takato exclaimed.
If not even if Guilmon's secret crush go wake him up then nothing would. But the Guilmon began to stir and his eyes immediately snapped out. He looked over and saw the digimon he had secretly loved and her cursed tamer's mother taking a beating and that made him very anger. He began struggling with his bonds, but couldn't break free. But he continued to pull; all that was on his mind was helping Renamon.
Suddenly he let out a monstrous roar, similar to his dark mega form, Megidramon. That in turn caused everyone to stopped fighting and looked at the virus digimon. But then everyone eyes widen when Guilmon began glowing a crimson red color. He continued to pull at his bonds and they finally broke free. Everyone in the room began even more stunned then before.
Guilmon, rose to his feet, his sharp glare locked on IceDevimon. He then charged at the icy angel with blinding speed. The icy digimon seemed to recover and took to the air. But he didn't have time to do anything else as he was meant with one of Guilmon's pyro sphere; only this one was much more stronger then his usual. IceDevimon crushed to the ground and slowly got to his feet. The shocked and pain obvious by the look on his face.
But Guilmon didn't give him anytime to recover as he tackled him and began slicing at him with his claws. IceDevimon managed to get the red lizard off of him, by punching him in the face. The icy fiend slowly and painfully got back to his feet, only to be meant by a highflying kick from Renamon.
Amazingly she too was now glowing, a yellow color. This surprised everyone in the room again. Then Renamon leapt air while Guilmon reeled back his head.
"Diamond storm!"
Pyro-spare!"
The two digimon laughed their attacks and they seemed to merge into one gigantic flaming spare of diamonds. IceDevimon, who still was a little dazed from Renamon's last attack, was hit full force and was sent through a wall. Then light faded from the two digimon and their collapsed.
Kai seeing that he was out match, decided it was time to make a retreat. So he rushed at the hole and jumped through it, vanishing into the shadows of the night.
Rumiko stared at the two unconscious digimon for a second, still in shock by what she saw. But she quickly snapped out of it and hurried over to the caged Takato. She easily tore the cage apart and picked up the little digimon. Exhaustion had finally caught up with the transformed tamer and he was now sleeping soundly in Rumiko's hands. She then looked back at the two unconscious digimon and thought about what just happened. But her main concern was, this is going to be one looooong walk home.
Me: Well that's it for this chapter.
BlackRenamon: And if you asked me it was a good one.
Takato: But I'll like to know what was with that light thing both Guilmon and Renamon had going.
Me (Looked at Takato): Now you should know me by now that I don't spoil the plot.
Takato (Looking disappoint): Well okay.
BlackRenamon: But don't worry I'm sure my man here will gave it to us in the next chapter.
Rika (Angry): Why do I have to fix your stupid wall?
Me (Facing her): Because it was your drunken digimon that broke my wall, okay.
BlackRenamon: Hey at least it wasn't like last time.
Takato: It couldn't have been that bad?"
Me: Kid you have no idea.
BlackRenamon: Well what are you planning on doing this time, any chance we could get a heads up?
Me: Well I'm sorta going to leave a little mysterious at the end.
Renamon (Comes stumbling into the room): Oh GUUUUUUIIIIIILLLLMMMOOON.
Guilmon (Looking nervous): Oh boy. (Then he runs off)
Me (Trying not to laugh): Well HAHA, I guess we should, HAHAHA get on with the HAHAHA chapter.
In-Training: Chapter 9: Red eyes.
Renamon with Rika on her shoulder and Rumiko beside the fox-like digimon were on route to the Matsuki's bakery. A day had already gone by ever since IceDevimon attack the three, but he was the least on their minds at the moment.
"Well at least grandma wasn't to mad about the hole in my wall," Rika said.
"We're just lucky that your grandmother is a really kind and forgetting person," Renamon said.
"But I still worried about IceDevimon and his new partner," Rumiko said solemnly.
"Yes no tell what kind if trouble that digimon and your bother can stir up together," Renamon said.
"Renamon how many times do I have to tell you, Kai is no brother of my," Rumiko said sharply.
"Many times," Renamon simply answered.
"But I'll like to know why bring that icy freak back?" Rika asked.
"Well I think it's obvious dear," Rumiko said.
"Yes next to the D-reaper, that icy digimon was the closest thing to a villain we had ever fought," Renamon answered.
"I guess so," Rika muttered.
"But Kai is keeping his newest henchmon on a short leash," Renamon said.
"So you also notice the collar," Rumiko said.
Renamon simply nodded as they walked past a newsstand. Standing there was a man about normal size in an icy white turtleneck sweater with dark brown cuffs. His jeans were also icy white and he had dark brown sneakers. He lows the paper to watch the fasten fading bodies of the two female fighter, revealing a strange symbol on his sweater, icy white hair combed back and a pair of red eyes staring hatefully at the human and digimon. His lips curled back into a grin, revealing two fangs in front of his teeth.
I hate to admit this, but with this new ability that no good human gave me is really useful, this guy thought.
(Flashback)
Standing in the lair of his new partner, IceDevimon stared at Kai with a cold eyes as the redhead searched through one of his many spell books. A grin blossomed on the evil spell caster as if he found something useful.
"IceDevimon," Kai said coldly.
"What?" the icy fallen angel asked just as coldly.
"This spell I just found would allow you to walk freely among the public without anyone noticing," Kai said.
And before the icy demon had a choice to respond, the twisted spell caster began chanting," From shadows you hide, never to show your face to the light, now may you raise anew as your body takes on new shape as your skin changes and your horns vanish. Where once a demon stood now bring forth a man."
Then the icy digimon suddenly felt dizzy. His vision blurred at his felt his body beginning to take on a new shape. He felt his horns retracted into his head as something else grew out of his skill. His arms and legs shrunk a bit as his skin became loose and more fabric-like. His claws withdraw into his fingers and his dark brown belt disappeared. Finally his wings folded into his back. The now transformed IceDevimon collapsed to his knee completely exhausted.
"What did you do to me?" he asked in an anger, deeper tone of voice.
The icy white digimon brought his hand on to his throat in total shock. Kai only chuckled as his waved his right hand and a full body mirror appeared in front of him. IceDevimon looked into the mirror, only to found a human dressed in a icy white attire with matching hair and red eyes.
"What have you done to me!?" the now human IceDevimon roared.
He looked ready to jump on Kai and tare his eyes out. But Kai just snapped his finger and his icy friend could fine the effect if the collar that was now hidden under his turtleneck. He began gripping as his throat, trying to take in a breath of air.
"Relax, you can changed back at will," Kai said then snapped his fingers.
Immediately the ice colored human could breath again and stood.
"But why do this?" he roared.
"Because that sister of my and her digimon friend knows my face," Kai said and then a wicked grin formed on his face. "But thy don't knows yours." And pointed at him.
IceDevimon thought that one over for about a minute and then said coldly," Alright."
(End of Flashback)
IceDevimon now in his new human body was spying on his prey. He folded the paper up and tucked it under his arm and began walking five steps behind his prey. He stopped when he saw the three he was following entered into a building. He stood at a corner, studying the building. He didn't know, but for some reason this building he was staring at seemed familiar. But the icy clothed human just shrugged it off and decided he better leave before a human saw him and got curious.
So IceDevimon walked off in the opposite direction of the building, but he did look back at the building one last time, still couldn't shack the feeling of familiarity.
(In the Mutsaki's Bakery)
The bread making couple acknowledge their visitors with sad nods and then Rika, Rumiko and Renamon climbed the stairs to Takato's room. Once in the room, Rika notice Takato, his skin back to its light brown color, by his makeshift bed with his TV remote by his side. The curse tamer just off of the larger fox-like shoulder and walked over the bed. She then jumped up and joined her follow cursed tamer.
Both Renamon and Rumiko had small smiles on their faces as their watched Rika get close to Takato. After a few seconds of staring, the two broke up and Renamon joined Guilmon. Rumiko went over to the window and added some kind of square tan paper to the wall. It was one of Miss Makino's shielding spells, so Kai couldn't enter into the house. Then she went over to the two little digimons and took something out of her right pocket.
She kneeled down and said," I know you might feel a little embarrass by this but it's necessary," and snapped on a nametag just like Rika's onto Takato's collar.
The little brown lizard did like embarrass but Rika said," Hey don't sweat it gogglesbrains, see I got one too." Then she showed him hers.
Rumiko got up and looked at the two larger digimons and notices that their tails were intertwined. Rumiko smiled but that soon faded. See all of this brought back memories for the famous modal. Memories that was both happy and sad. For seeing this brought back memories of the man she loved.
Rumiko closed her eyes and could see the smile face of the man she loved greatly. His black air flowing in the unseen breeze, hands in the pockets of his black jacket. His shinning violet eyes were just so full of life.
But soon that image was replaced with the one of his face after his death. Closed eyes that would never open again and never shine their light to the world. His face had a look of depression on it, like he was mad for some reason. Blood stain cuts lined that face that Rumiko loved just so much.
Rumiko shook her head to clean it and opened her eyes. No one in the room had yet taken notice of the model's strange behavior.
"Well I think I'm going to take my leave now," Rumiko said then faded into the shadows.
"I would still like to know how she's does that," Takato said in amazement.
"Like I said before it's just something my dad taught to her," Rika said proudly.
"Wow sounds like someone has found some new respected for their family," Takato teased.
Then he braced himself for the tail slapping he was about to get. But surprisingly nothing came. He looked over at Rika, only to found her eyes staring down at the coverings of his larger bed and zoned out.
Rika?" Takato tilted his head a little to his right to get a better look at the little fox's face. But what he saw really shocked him. Rika looked like she was going to cry.
"Rika what's wrong?" Takato asked softly while notching her with his snort.
"Do you really want to know?" she asked softly.
"Yeah, I want you to know I'm here for you," Takato answered softly.
"At time I fell ashamed at myself," Rika said quietly.
That seemed to get the attention of the two larger digimons.
"Why do you feel like that Rika?" Takato asked.
"Because both of my fathers sounded so noble and nice, while I was mean and hateful," Rika said with great sorrow in her voice.
"But Rika-" Takato was saying but he interrupted.
"I even caused the death of my own stepfather!" Rika screamed.
Everyone, including Renamon's mouth dropped, but Takato asked," Why do you say that?"
"It happened along time ago," Rika spoke softly.
(Flashback.Rika's P.O.V.)
I was five when it happened. My mother was out doing something and my grandmother was out shopping. It was a nice day, so my dad decided to take me outside to play. I was now playing with a ball, tossing it up and down, while my step dad watched from the pouch, a soda in his hand.
"Hey kiddo mind if I join in the fun?" he asked with one of the sweetest smiles you could even imagine.
"Sure daddy," I said with a cute smile.
He put is soda down and stood up. But just then the phone rang. And since he was the only one home, he needed to get it.
My dad sighs and said," Hang on a minute Rika dear."
He then hurried into the house. I could her him talking as I continued to play. I tossed my ball high into the air and missed it. It rolled out of the yard and I chased it into the streets. I caught it, but I had no idea that I ran into the street yet. Then a car was speeding towards me and the driver didn't seem to be paying attention. But when I saw the speeding red sport car heading towards me I froze in fear.
"RRRRRRIIIIIIKKKKKKAAAAAAA!" my dad screamed as he dove and passed me out of the way.
I saw as he collided with the car with a faint thump noise. I looked away as tears began running down my face. After a few seconds of crying I looked up to see my father, lying there in my mother's arms. She was just returning home and saw the entire thing; she was crying her heart out. I got to my feet and ran to them with teary eyes. I caught the last half of something he was saying.
".Live and take care of Rika. It would be what he wanted." And with that he dead right in my mother's arms.
(End of Flashback.no one P.O.V.)
"Even since that day, I thought if I was only stronger, then maybe just maybe he would still be alive," Rika said, tearing socking into her fur.
"But it only got worse after that," Renamon said.
She was now sitting on the bed, holding her cursed tamer close her and trying to comfort her. Guilmon was beside the bed, looking confused.
"Why do you say that Renamon?" he asked.
"After that day Rika's mother became very sad and depressed. I had a feeling she would have taken her life if it wasn't from her second husbands words. But in time she tried to use her work as a means to escape her painful past. But she truly didn't want to forget her past and the men she loved. So she tried to bring someone from that past," Renamon explained evenly. "Namely Rika."
"Oh I think I see," Takato said.
But Guilmon still looked confused, but even he knew when not to push things. So the three just stood there and let Rika cry her heart out, her tear now socking into the larger fox-like digimon's fur. But Renamon didn't care.
(Kai's lair)
IceDevimon still cloaked in his human form enter into Kai's lair and found the twisted human asleep, sitting at his table with his crystal orb of his displaying something in a wide 3-D picture. The icy digimon in human clothing notice the look of pure hatred on the human's face.
So he watched the display of whatever the orb was showing. Two men were charging at each other, their fists held high. They meant with punches to each of their faces. But both shrugged the blows off as they jumped backwards from each other. Both landed and one with black hair's mouth was moving, but no sound was coming from it. Then the redhead that must be Kai in his in his younger years said something and took eight objects out of his sweater.
That's when IceDevimon realized that he was watching an old memory from Kai. But why it showed the memory like an old movie and not from Kai's own eyes were something not even the icy fallen angel could figure out.
The younger Kai held out the things he just token out from his sweater and they were draggers. Four of them were in each of the redhead's hands. Then Kai said something as a grin crossed his face. Then the threw the draggers at his opponent. But the black haired human easily dodge them by doing what looks like dancing steps. But then Kai pull out eight more dagger from his sweater and threw some of them, instead of all of them this time. And again the black hair human dodged them easily. But at the last moment Kai threw his only remaining dragger and cut right through the side of the black haired human's left leg. Kais said something as his grin widen and turned into a smile of victory. But that soon faded as the black haired human said something while looking at his cut. But the grin returned to Kai's face as he said something. Then both got into fighting stances and ready themselves for another round.
But then the picture started to waver and soon disappeared all together. That caused IceDevimon to frown. He really wanted to see the ending.
Kai opened his eyes and looked at his henchmon. "That was along time ago. He was the one who gave me this scar," he said lower as he ran his finger down the lightening bolt shaped scar on his cheek.
IceDevimon unfolded his wings from his back and their covered his human body. Once they unfolded, he was back to his digimon form. "What were the point of the draggers if that human could dodge them?"
"Simple their were tipped with poison, meant for only that human," Kai said smugly.
"He seemed very skill for a human that is," IceDevimon said.
"Skilled indeed and he's the father of the Nonaka brat," Kai said.
Just hearing that name made the icy digimon hatred go through the roof. But he kept his expressions calm.
"What did you find during your hunt?" Kai asked smoothly.
"The Nonaka brat, her mother and that pathetic digimon Renamon went into a bakery that seemed to stir my memory a bit," IceDevimon replied.
"That bakery is the home of Takato Matsuki, the tamer of Guilmon. You remember that digimon don't you?" Kai asked, while looking at his henchmon sideway.
The icy digimon rage was so great that he couldn't hide it this time. Yes he remembered that digimon all to wall. That red lizard was the one who defeated him and loaded his data.
"Yes I remember him," he hissed through grunted teeth.
Good," Kai said smoothly as that grin of his formed on his face. "Because I got a plan that would insure us that both get what we want."
"I'm listening," IceDevimon said coldly as he folded his arms across his chest.
(Later at the park)
Takato had gotten bored after Rika and Renamon had left, so he decided to take a walked through the pack. But his parents didn't think that was such a good idea. So after a little argument Takato was allowed to go, but if only Guilmon came with him. So now the cursed tamer was riding atop of his friends' head. People were giving the two strange looks as they pasted by them. But they just tried to ignore them. But unknown to the two dinos, another set of eyes were keeping a close watch over them. Watching and waiting for the prefect moment to make their move.
This feels good doesn't it boy?" Takato asked.
"Yeah it does," Guilmon said.
Then the red dino-boy looked to his right, nose high in the air and sniffing the air.
"Something wrong Guilmon?" Takato asked.
"I don't know, I smell something funny," Guilmon replied.
Just then a man with icy white hair and attire matching his hair, bumped into Guilmon, causing Takato to fall off of his spot on Guilmon's head. But the guy didn't stop and apologize. That kind of made Takato mad.
"Hey you, aren't you going to say you're sorry?" the little lizard called out.
The guy stopped and faced the digimon and cursed tamer. His dark blood red sunglasses reflecting the light of fading sun.
He walked back to the and said cold and harshly," For what?"
"For bumping into my friend," Takato replied while looking at the guy
"No he bumped into me, so he's should be the one apologizing," the guy said coldly as he jolted his thumb into his chest.
Something about all of this seems to set balls a ringing in Takato's head. Just then Guilmon eyes went viral and he began growling.
"Takato something's not right about this guy," Guilmon said in his battle tone.
But before Guilmon could do anything, a wicked smile formed on the guy's face and his hand snapped out in a blink of an eye, hitting Guilmon hard on the head. The red dino digimon fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Guilmon!" Takato exclaimed as he rushed over to his friends.
But then the mysterious attacker grabbed Takato by his golden collar and lifted him to eye level. Just then Kai joined this new side and Takato became very afraid.
(Nonaka household)
It was Renamon turn to give Rika her nightly flea. After she was done bathing her cursed tamer, the two joined Rumiko and her mother at the table. While they ate, they heard it.
"Oh girls."
All four immediately recognized it as the smug voice of Kai. Rumiko bolted up and shouted," Where are you and what do you want?"
"Oh I just throwing my voice, think I'm ready for the big times," Kai joked.
Renamon calmly stood up and repeated the part of Rumiko's sentence," What do you want?"
"Oh nothing much, I just wanted to see if you could meet my challenge," the ghostly smooth voice said.
"What kind of challenge?" Rika asked forcefully.
"A puzzle of a sort. What is red, while and black all over?"
The four women thought it over for a minute but it was Renamon who figure it out.
"Guilmon?" she asked the air with just a small hint of worry in her voice.
"Good, now what's brown and white?"
"Takato?" Rika exclaimed, the worry clean in her voice.
"Good now what are they when they're not safe?"
"They're in danger," the elder said evenly.
"Good mother. Finally were is the place of your greatest fear my darling niece?"
The four thought about this one for a moment but came up with nothing. But then Renamon snapped her paws.
"Rumiko I think I know where they're being held," she said.
The famous model nodded and said," Led the way."
They both head to the door when someone stopped them.
"Wait! I want to come too!" Rika exclaimed.
The two female fighters looked at the little red furred digimon with concern in their eyes.
"Sorry young one, but this is one fight you have no choice but to stay out of," Renamon said evenly but had just a small hint of concern in it.
Rumiko walked over to the table, kneeled down and began stroking her daughter's fur. "I promise you I'll bring Takato and Guilmon back safely," her voice was soft and gently.
She then straightened up and looked at Renamon. Both exchanged quick nods then both faded into the shadows in their own style.
Please be careful both of you, Miss Makino thought as she worried granddaughter in her arm and began patting her to calm her down.
(.)
With Renamon leading Rumiko, both were racing across rooftops. But Rumiko notice a change in Renamon's movements. The vaccine-type was moving in a quicker pace then usually. She even nearly missed a jump. So the famous model knew something was eating her friend and it didn't take much to figure it out either.
It would seem Renamon had deeper feeling for Guilmon then I first thought, Rumiko thought with s tiny smile on her face.
"We're here," Renamon said.
Rumiko joined her friend and recognized the building she was looking at. She remembers watching a report about how this building was having freak weather problem that not even the weather specialist could figure out. Eyes witness had said they seen the top of the building covered in ice.
"This is where IceDevimon took Rika when he kidnapped her," Renamon said.
"And this is where Rika was forced to face her worse fears right? Rumiko asked.
Renamon nodded and said," Yes."
"So what do you think? Should we knock or just go in," Rumiko asked sarcastically
Renamon flashed one of her small smile and said," Why don't we just go in."
Rumiko grin and said," What I just was thinking."
Then both faded into the shadow in their own special ways. They then went it into the building and decided stair would be the best choice. Both were jumping them two at a time. When they reached the top, both returned into the light. Renamon reached out for the door handle but stopped. She glazed over at Rumiko and the famous model nodded. Returning the nod, Renamon opened the door and both went in. Immediately they spotted Takato and Guilmon. Guilmon was unconscious with his hands and legs bended by energy bonds. Next to him was a cage that held the little brown skinned lizard. Takato was still awake even though he looked scared senseless. When he finally notice the two woman warrior, he shouted," Get out of here! It's a trip!"
Immediately after he said that, the two fighters heard the door behind them slammed shut. They looked behind themselves in time to see energy forming a cage-like object, making any escape impossible.
That when they heard clapping from behind them and turn around to see Kai, standing next to the sleeping Guilmon, clapping his hands and that usual calm smug grin on his face. IceDevimon descended from the roof and landed next to Kai, his arms folded across his chest.
Kai stopped clapping and said in a cold sarcastically tone," I'm surprised you decided to come and pick up these poor kiddies."
"The friends of my daughter and Renamon are more important to me then any dress," Rumiko said firmly.
"Then why don't we just skip all of this chitchat and get down to business," IceDevimon said as uncrossed his arms and showed his claws.
Then the two tyrants charged at the fighters. Kai tackled his sister, while IceDevimon lifted off the ground and grabbed Renamon.
Renamon tried her best to break free of her captor's grip but the icy fallen angel had a firm grip on her. So putting all of her strength into it, the vaccine-type elbowed IceDevimon in the face and he lost his hold on her. Renamon landed and faced her opponent as he descended to the ground.
"Face it Renamon, without my tamer by your side you're nothing by a weak child," IceDevimon said with a smug smirk on his face.
"We'll see about that," Renamon said and then charged.
Rumiko was now struggling to get free of a monstrous bear hug Kai was giving her. Kai had that usual grin on his face, but that seem disappeared as Rumiko kneed him in the grain. Then Rumiko pulled her right arm freed and used it to punch her twisted brother in the face. That was enough to free her and then she got Kai into a tight headlock. Kai who was dozed from the punch, but soon regain his senses and drove his elbow into his sister's gut. But the famous model refused to let go. So Kai continued to ram his elbow into Rumiko's gut, until she finally let him go. Rumiko hunched over from the pain as she held her gut. Then Kai delivered an upper cut to his sister's chin that sent her hurtling through the air.
Rumiko recovered by doing a simple backwards ball roll and landed on her feet. But Kai immediately got in her face, giving the famous model no time to react. The evil tyrant ducked down and tripped his opponent. Luckily Rumiko caught herself by holding her hands out. Then doing a handstand back flip the famous model was able to get back to her feet and into a fighting stance that Kai knew all to well.
"Don't tell me you're going to say that stupid line of your looser husband," Kai said irritate.
A grin form on Rumiko's face as she said," Only to make you mad." Then she charged. "Emotions like love and Kindness are the power behind those fists of my!" And nailed Kai in the face with a punch.
The twisted Makino fell to the ground the rolled backward to back his feet. He got back into his fighting stance and charged. But the famous model faded into the shadows as Kai threw a punch. Then he was nailed from behind but when he spun around, he saw no one. Then he was nailed in the chain, which sent him to the ground. He looked up to see Rumiko, her arms crossed and a grin on her face.
Kai got to his feet and angrily said," You worm, you're pay for that!"
"Well send the check through the mail," Rumiko replied sarcastically as she got back into her fighting stance.
That only made Kai madder as his charged.
Takato was doing his best to watch both fights, he saw that Rika's mother was doing fine. It was Renamon he was really worried about. She was up against a champion leveled digimon that could fly. So she was at a big disadvantage.
IceDevimon was hovering in the air and was using his slightly longer arms to hold the vaccine-type at bay. But Renamon got passed her opponents defenses by jumping on his arms on and running on it. She then nailed the icy foe in the face with her tail. The blow stunned IceDevimon long enough for Renamon to jump up into the air to prepare her diamond storm. But before she could even call out the name of her attack, IceDevimon flew up to her and kneed her one. The wind was knocked out of the fox-like digimon and she fell to the ground, gasping for air as the icy fallen angel descended.
IceDevimon saw his partner in trouble and picked up the still recovering Renamon. Next he threw her at Rumiko. The famous model saw her friend coming and caught her, but that threw her off balance. Kai used this to deliver a kick to his opponent's face. Then IceDevimon attacked, making it impossible for the two to go on the offence.
Takato tore his attention away from the fight and looked at the still sleeping Guilmon, scoring loudly.
"Guilmon, you got to wake up, we need ya boy!" the little brown lizard screamed.
But the rookie digimon continued to snore loudly. Takato tried to wake up his digimon for the next few minutes but nothing seemed to work. Then an idea popped into the cursed tamer's head.
"Guilmon! Renamon is in danger!" Takato exclaimed.
If not even if Guilmon's secret crush go wake him up then nothing would. But the Guilmon began to stir and his eyes immediately snapped out. He looked over and saw the digimon he had secretly loved and her cursed tamer's mother taking a beating and that made him very anger. He began struggling with his bonds, but couldn't break free. But he continued to pull; all that was on his mind was helping Renamon.
Suddenly he let out a monstrous roar, similar to his dark mega form, Megidramon. That in turn caused everyone to stopped fighting and looked at the virus digimon. But then everyone eyes widen when Guilmon began glowing a crimson red color. He continued to pull at his bonds and they finally broke free. Everyone in the room began even more stunned then before.
Guilmon, rose to his feet, his sharp glare locked on IceDevimon. He then charged at the icy angel with blinding speed. The icy digimon seemed to recover and took to the air. But he didn't have time to do anything else as he was meant with one of Guilmon's pyro sphere; only this one was much more stronger then his usual. IceDevimon crushed to the ground and slowly got to his feet. The shocked and pain obvious by the look on his face.
But Guilmon didn't give him anytime to recover as he tackled him and began slicing at him with his claws. IceDevimon managed to get the red lizard off of him, by punching him in the face. The icy fiend slowly and painfully got back to his feet, only to be meant by a highflying kick from Renamon.
Amazingly she too was now glowing, a yellow color. This surprised everyone in the room again. Then Renamon leapt air while Guilmon reeled back his head.
"Diamond storm!"
Pyro-spare!"
The two digimon laughed their attacks and they seemed to merge into one gigantic flaming spare of diamonds. IceDevimon, who still was a little dazed from Renamon's last attack, was hit full force and was sent through a wall. Then light faded from the two digimon and their collapsed.
Kai seeing that he was out match, decided it was time to make a retreat. So he rushed at the hole and jumped through it, vanishing into the shadows of the night.
Rumiko stared at the two unconscious digimon for a second, still in shock by what she saw. But she quickly snapped out of it and hurried over to the caged Takato. She easily tore the cage apart and picked up the little digimon. Exhaustion had finally caught up with the transformed tamer and he was now sleeping soundly in Rumiko's hands. She then looked back at the two unconscious digimon and thought about what just happened. But her main concern was, this is going to be one looooong walk home.
Me: Well that's it for this chapter.
BlackRenamon: And if you asked me it was a good one.
Takato: But I'll like to know what was with that light thing both Guilmon and Renamon had going.
Me (Looked at Takato): Now you should know me by now that I don't spoil the plot.
Takato (Looking disappoint): Well okay.
BlackRenamon: But don't worry I'm sure my man here will gave it to us in the next chapter.
