Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, but hey a guy can dream.
BlackRenamon: So are you going to tell us what's up with Renamon and Guilmon and that strange new power of theirs?
Takato: Yeah I like to know that too.
Rika: We all would, so start typing before I get mad. (Show fists)
Me: I'll get to that, and beside have you're threats even worked before?
Rika: So still doesn't mean I can kick you butt around this house.
Me (Rolling my eyes): Right.
Guilmon (Running into the room): Get her off of me!
Renamon (Stumbling into the room): Hey have you guys started yet, because I really want to see what happened to the icy dude.
BlackRenamon: That's icy dude is IceDevimon.
Renamon: Oh. (Then collapsed into the other Renamon's hands)
BlackRenamon (putting Renamon on the cough): I think we should go on now.
Takato: Yeah before Renamon wakes up.
Me: Gottcha ya all.
In-Training: Chapter 10: A light of love.
After dropping the sleeping trio at her home and phoning Takato's parents tell them that Guilmon and their son were safe, Rumiko head to her secret relaxing spot in the park to think. She was now doing some exercises to try and clean her head and think about what happened during the fight with Kai and IceDevimon. But she kept drafting back to that one event the changed the course of the battle.
(Flashback.Rumiko's P.O.V)
IceDevimon tossed Renamon at me and I caught her, by I was left opened for an attack. Then Kai kicked me in the head, knocking me senseless. Next IceDevimon attacked, backing me into a corner and with Renamon and myself dazed we're we in trouble.
But we stopped fighting when a monstrous roar filled the room. Everyone turned to the source of the monstrous cry in time to Guilmon glowing a crimson red color. He managed to break bonds of pure magic and rushed at the icy digimon. But IceDevimon avoided him by taking to the air. But Guilmon launched one of his pyro-spheres and hit the icy digimon in the chest. The fallen angel crushed to the ground and Guilmon tackled him and began taking swings with his claws. IceDevimon got the virus off of him by punching him. IceDevimon got to his feet slowly and painfully, only to be meant be a high-flying kick from Renamon. Amazingly the vaccine- type was now glowing a yellow color. But then fired their attacks and their combined into a gigantic flaming sphere of diamonds. The attack was so powerful that it sent the fallen angel through a wall. The glow then faded and both digimon collapsed.
(End of Flashback.no ones P.O.V)
Rumiko couldn't get that out of her head, so she couldn't focus on her exercising.
It just simply amazing. That strange light seemed to boost their power greatly, Rumiko thought.
The famous model pushed those thought out of her head the best she could and tried to focus on her exercising. After centering her breathing, she got into a fighting stance. She started off with a punch, followed by a dropped kick. Next she jumped high into the air and do a forward ball roll back to the ground. Then she did a forward hand spin that turned into a spinning split kick. She got back to her feet and threw a punch and followed that up with an uppercut. Finally she ended it with another high- flying jump that turned into a backwards spin kick.
Rumiko landed and heard someone clapping. She turns to face the clapper, expecting to see Kai, but it was only Impmon.
He stopped clapping and said," Hey tots that was great."
"What do you want Impmon?" Rumiko asked coldly.
"Nothing," the little purple digimon replied smugly and with a smile.
Rumiko didn't like that smile one bit. It reminded her too much of Kai. And right at the moment she was fighting off the urge to go up to the little digimon and beat the living days lights out of him.
"I'll ask again, what do you want?" Rumiko asked, only more warmly this time.
"Jeez just like you daughter," Impmon muttered.
But Rumiko gave him a death glare that even could make Rika sweat.
"Okay, okay," Impmon, said waving his hands around. "I heard that you and foxy ran into that icy freak again."
"How did you learn about that so fast?" Rumiko asked, with a curious eye.
"It's none of you're business how I know, I just know," Impmon said. "So did you?"
"Yeah what about it?" Rumiko asked.
"I just wanted to be sure foxy was okay," Impmon said. "Not that I care or anything."
Rumiko cocked her right eyebrow at that. We'll just see about that, she thought, and then she said," Oh she was saved by Guilmon."
Impmon was looking to his side, cleaning out his right ear. But once he heard Guilmon's name, he shoot the famous model a death glare. "PINAPPLEHEAD!!"
Just as I thought, Rumiko thought.
"What does that breading-loving goof ball have that I don't!?" Impmon roared.
He's jealous.
"Well Impmon it's has been fun, but I got to go," Rumiko said then faded into the shadows.
She ran as Impmon screamed".Hey shadow fighter get here, I'm not down with you yet."
(The next day at the Nonaka household)
The first thing that came to Takato's mind as he slowly opened his large, brown eyes was, this isn't my room.
Then it all came back to him. He remembered being captured by a strange man with icy white hair and Kai with Guilmon. He remembered being stuck in a cage for nearly four hours with a snoring Guilmon. He then remembered Renamon and Rika's mother coming to their rescue. But what he remembered the most was this strange light that both Renamon and Guilmon elated that make them twice at stronger then normal.
"Finally awake I see gogglehead," a high-pitch, familiar voice
A look of fear appears on the little lizard's face as he thought grimly, oh boy let hope that not who I think it is.
He turned around to see the ashy red fur with yellow strips of Rika. Her large violet eyes staring into his own large eyes.
"R-Rika, where am I?" Takato asked nervously.
"My home. My mom brought you, dino boy and Renamon here because you all were out like lights," Rika said.
"Guilmon?" Takato asked with a confused look.
Using her tail, Rika pointed to a spot near where Takato was. The cursed tamer looked to where she was pointed to see Guilmon snoring loudly. But then he notice that Guilmon was really close to Renamon, their tails were intertwined.
Oh boy, he's really going to get it when she wakes up, Takato thought bitterly.
Then Rika slapped him lightly on the head with her tail. "C'mon gogglehead, my grandma had breakfast ready."
Then the red furred Viximon left the room. But Takato looked at her partner with a worried eye before following Rika. This would actually by the first time Takato really saw Rika's house from the inside. And everyone was bigger then he was. But of course he knew it wasn't the house, it was him. He was just so small.
Rika lead the way to the kitchen and what the small brown Gigimon saw made his mouth watered. The table was filled with food. His stomach then let out a loud growl and he realized he hadn't had anything to eat in along time.
"Well I see you're not shy about you appetite," a soft gentle voice said from above him.
Takato looked up and saw the smiling face of Miss Makino.
"Here let me help you up," the elder gently lifted Takato up and set him on the table.
Rika was already on the table and was eating away at a stack of cut up pancakes. Takato spotted another plate of sliced up pancakes and went over to it. He took one bit and it was the most wonderful pancakes he had even tasted. Better then even his mothers His hunger won and he dove into the stack.
"Like I said you're not shy about your appetite," the elder said lightly. "But with everything that happened to you lately I'm not surprised. I mean you probably haven't eaten in a good couple of hours."
Takato gave a quick nod before going back to eating. Then the three heard the sound of something crashing through a wall somewhere and the two cursed tamers knew what was the cause of it was. But both just kept on eating.
The elder went to check on what the noise was all about and a few seconds later Takato heard a sigh followed by something that sounded like chanting.
Takato looked up from his pancakes and asked," What was that all about?"
Rika swallowed the food she had in her mouth before replying," Oh that's was just my grandma she's a spell caster."
"What? Spell caster?!" Takato exclaimed.
"Yeah spell caster. She learned it from my grandfather as my mother learned martial arts from my father. Now let me eat, gogglehead," Rika ordered and then went back to her pancakes.
Rika's grandmother came in with Guilmon tailing her, rubbing the top of his head. Renamon appeared in the room after that, looking quit mad. But no one took the notice of the light blush on her face. Guilmon took a sit next to Takato and tore into the food in front of him. Renamon took a sit next to her cursed tamer and amazingly she too started to devour what was in front of her.
"Renamon do you remember anything that happened last night?" Takato asked.
Renamon swallowed her food and looked up at the little digimon. "All I really remember is getting tossed into Rumiko and then everything went blink."
"Hmm umm," Guilmon said with a mouth full of toast.
"Mind tell us after you swallow dino boy," Rika said.
Guilmon swallowed then said," Me too."
They don't remember what happened. Guess I can't get anything out of them, Takato thought.
(Kai's lair)
Kai was enraged over last night's battle. Everything in the bag when out of nowhere, that dinosaur had broke free with some strange power then he and the fox beat IceDevimon with that same power. The dark Makino was starting to think recruiting the icy looser was a mistake, a really big mistake.
Kai was setting at his usual spot with his elbows on the armrests of his chair and his fingers joined at the tips. The icy fallen angel was in his usual corner with his arms folded across his chest. Both were staring at each other with hateful eyes.
"So you're sure you don't know what that power was?" Kai asked for the tenth time.
"No for the last time, I don't," IceDevimon hissed angrily.
"Then tell what are you good for?" Kai roared angrily as he bolted from his set.
"I can kill you!" IceDevimon shouted angrily as he uncrossed his arms and held them out.
The two tyrants looked ready to tare each other opened. But Kai held up his right hand and calmly said," Before we tare each other apart, I have a little suggestion I'll like to make."
The icy digimon relaxed a bit and asked," What?"
"Why don't we lure that fox and lizard out and see if that strange light happens again," Kai suggested.
"How do we lure them out?" IceDevimon asked coldly.
"simple we take those brats and their precious partner would come flying into our arms," Kai replied smoothly.
"But your darling little sister would get in the way," IceDevimon pointed out.
"Fine let her, I'll be there too," Kai boosted as he chest puffed out and he jolted his thumb into it.
"Okay you got my ear," the icy fiend replied as he crossed his arms.
Kai smirk and began lying out his plan.
(.)
Rumiko was walking in the park in her street cloths after getting done with her modeling for today. He mind was still on what happened last night. For some reason that power seemed familiar to her. But she just couldn't place it.
The famous model walked through the park and with her shades on, so no one realized her. She was too deep in her thoughts to realize that she had a shadow. This shadow was staying hidden in the bushes, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Rumiko finally pulled herself out of her thoughts and realized she was at the stairs that lead to the spot were her daughter and her friends' hangs out. She was about to claim them when she felt something coming at her from behind. With fluid-like moment, the famous model spun around and snatched a rock out of mid-air. She felt out that the attacker was hiding in a bush to her right and tossed the rock ten times harder then the attacker did. A second later a faint thump was heard, followed by a moan. Rumiko got into a fighting stance as her attacker came into view. But she relaxed when she saw it was only Impmon. He was rubbing a light red sore make in the center of his forehead.
"Hey what was that for? I just want to talk,' he roared.
Rumiko folded her arms across her chest and asked coldly," About what?"
"Maybe I just would tell you now after what you did to me," Impmon said annoyingly, folding his own arms.
Rumiko grinned and sarcastically said," Okay then I guess you don't need me." She then turns around like she was getting ready to leave.
"Wait, I'm not done with you," Impmon roared.
Rumiko face him and asked," Well what do you want."
"I just wanted to know if what you said about Pinapplehead was true?" Impmon asked.
"Oh yes and they make quit the couple too," Rumiko teased.
"Hey now listen here lady, I don't care if you do know foxy, that wouldn't stop me from teaching you a lesson," Impmon said with just a hint of anger.
"Oh and what do you have in mind?" Rumiko asked sarcastically.
"I'll show you what I have in mind," Impmon raised is right hand, index finger out and a small fireball appeared, floating above the finger.
But before Impmon could blink, Rumiko was right in front of the purple virus. Her left hand came up and closed around the ball of fire. Small bursts of flames erupted from between the famous model's fingers and then she showed Impmon her palm. To the surprise of Impmon, there were only a few barely visible burns on the glove.
"Well maybe I felt like taking it easy on ya," Impmon said, trying to keep the nervousness out of his voice, but failing.
Then he rushed off muttering something.
Rumiko shook her head and muttered to herself," Next time I'm going to aim for his mouth." Then she went back to her outing and back to her thinking.
(Rika's house)
Surprisingly, Takato and Guilmon had stayed nearly the entire day with Rika and Renamon. But Guilmon had spent most of that time, avoiding Renamon, afraid of getting hit again. Takato on the other hand had spent the day with Rika, even though he did get a tail slip here and there. But he'll live. But he was also really happy that he had spent the entire day with his follow cursed tamer and that was the same for Rika.
Now the cursed gogglehead was standing on the back porch, watching Miss Makino. The elder was dressed in her holy white robes with the candles around the small pond in the back of the house. As she waved her hands around, she chanted.
"May the white angel watch over those who are in the blade of the fallen ones. May she give her wisdom and strength to save those who are in danger. May she protect those who are in harms way."
The elder continued to chant for nearly 20 minutes and Takato watched in amazement.
There's more then meet the eye with Rika's entire family. Her mother was taught martial arts by her husband and her grandmother was taught to cost spell by her husband, the little brown lizard thought amazingly. But then he thoughts drafted towards a certain red furred fox and how special she was to him. Just thinking about it brought a deep blush to his brown face.
The elder then took some kind of red dust out of a pouch near her and sprinkle it on the candle on her right. Then the flames must have shoot up at least five inches, turning a bright red color in the process. Then the flames of the next candle shoot up. Followed by another, then another until it reached the one opposite of the elder. Then all of the flames died out. Rika's grandmother got to her feet and began packing her things away.
Rika came up from behind Takato, ready to have a little fun with him. She playfully nudged him in the rear and hurried behind a peril. But surprisingly nothing happened. No yelp of surprise or no playful chasing. So Rika looked out from her hiding spot to see the cursed gogglehead staring blankly at her grandmother praying spot, even though Miss Makino had finish her packing and went inside to change. So Rika went up to him and see he was in a trance.
"Hey gogglehead snap out of it," Rika said forcefully and slapped him with her tail.
Takato blinked a few time and said amazingly," Wow, Rika that was just amazing."
"Yeah grandma is good at that kind of stuff," Rika said with just a little pride in her voice.
"Oh is that pride in you voice Rika?" Takato asked teasingly.
That in turn got him another tail slap from the red vaccine-type. "Watch it gogglehead, I may not have any hands, but I still can kick you brown rear."
Takato for some reason just couldn't help himself when he said," Prove it."
Without warning, Rika pounced on the little brown lizard and wrapped her tail around his. Both cursed tamers go tumbling onto the lawn and into that small pond. A few second later, both surfaced and were socking wet. And there stand Guilmon and Renamon at the edge of the pond.
"Have a nice swim you two?" Renamon asked with a tiny smile.
Then she disappears and reappears a split of second later with two towels in her hands. She tossed one over to Guilmon then both bent down and pick up their cursed, water logged tamers. The larger digimons carefully dried their tamers and sent them back on the ground. Then Guilmon handed his towel back to Renamon and she vanished. The female fighter reappeared a moment later.
"Guilmon I think its time for you and Takato to return home. I'm sure his parents are still a bit worried," Renamon said.
Both Guilmon's and Takato's ears lowered, but Guilmon said in low tone," Okay." He then picked up Takato and sent him on his head.
The two foxes watch at they left, both having the same thoughts of how cute their secret crushes looked when they pout.
(That night)
A long figure made his way across the streets of the quiet city, his direction, none other then the Matsuki bakery. Cloaked in his black cape and clothes, Kai reach the back door of the bakery without even the smallest trouble. He reached out for the door handle when something like needles pierced his skin. He pulled his hand back and rubbed it. Something about that pain seemed officially familiar. He reached out again and again the felt the pain in his hand, only this time it was worse. He drew back again and stared at the house with anger burning brightly in his eyes,
Curse mother and those blasted spell of hers, he thought angrily.
"Thought you could enter into this house," IceDevimon said sarcastically as he descended from the sky
In his right underarm was an unconscious Rika, all gagged and tied.
"Shut up!" Kai roared. " My mother must have put one of those blasted spells on this house."
"You weak humans. Here," IceDevimon tossed the in-training to Kai.
Then the icy fallen angel's wings folded around him. A split second later, the bat-like wings unfolded and then refolded into his back. And there stood the human form of IceDevimon.
"Can you at least work the lock from here?" IceDevimon asked coldly, pointing at the door with his head.
Kai gave the fake human a small humph then with his right hand made a gesture like turning a door handle. A low clip was heard a second later and the fake human went into the house without making any noise.
A long three minutes later, IceDevimon exited the house with another tied and gagged in-training digimon, which his tossed to Kai and closed the door before him. The twisted human locked the door back up and caught the cursed tamer. Then IceDevimon discarded his human form as Kai walked up to him.
"You did as I told you too?" he asked commandingly.
"Of course," IceDevimon replied coldly.
"Good," Kai said with that twisted grin of his. "Now let go and waited fro our guest."
Then IceDevimon went airborne while Kai jumped onto the roof and began running across with the two unconscious tamers between his underarms.
(Nonaka househould)
Renamon felt like she had been run over by ten Monochromon followed by five Tankmon. Renamon opened her eyes weakly to see Rumiko's worried face looming over her.
"What's wrong?" Renamon's voice was scratchy and low. She tried to get up but found her body was like lend.
"Save your strength, you're still recovering from a spell," Miss Makino said.
Renamon hadn't even notices the elder by her side until she spoke. She was wearing her holy white robes and had a candle at corner of the fox digimon.
"What happened?" Renamon asked more cleanly this time.
The two women looked at each other and nodded. Then Rumiko showed the fox digimon a note.
Pathetic Renamon, if you want to see my tamer again, meet me at the park with that Dino boy and tell my tamer's mother she's invited too.
IceDevimon.
Renamon jolted up after reading the note a little to quickly as a wave of dizziness hit her and the room began spinning. Rumiko placed her hand on Renamon's shoulder and gently but forcefully pushed the vaccine-type back onto her bed.
"Now just lay back until my mother is finished," Rumiko said.
"Actually I'm done, so you should be fine in a few minutes," the elder said looking at Renamon. "Then I went you take something to help Guilmon."
"Guilmon? Why?" Renamon asked.
"Well the note said to bring Guilmon so I guess Kai also take Takato. Beside those two went to drew you two out," Rumiko said.
"But why?" Renamon asked, her head was feeling better.
"Because you two were able to beat IceDevimon with a strange light that boost your powers," Rumiko explained evenly.
"But I don't remember using a kind of light?" Renamon said, mildly confused as she got into a sitting position.
"You must have blacked out when it happened," the elder said as she was packing her things away.
"Okay now that we got that all cleaned up, I think it's time to get busy," Rumiko said commandingly.
The others nodded and Renamon stood up. She took the cure for Guilmon from the elder and faded into the shadow. Rumiko left for her room to get change.
(.)
Rumiko, Renamon were being led by Guilmon's nose through the park, closing in on Kai and his icy buddy. For some reason Renamon couldn't shack this icy feeling she had even since the trio entered into the park. Guilmon suddenly stopped and stuck his nose to the air.
"Something wrong Guilmon?" Renamon asked.
"They're here," Guilmon replied in that rough tone of his and began growling.
"Are you sure? I can't smell anything," Renamon said, scanning her surrounding.
"Don't forget he can mark his own scent," Rumiko reminded her.
Renamon nodded and said," True."
Then a sinister laugh seemed to come from all direction at once, followed by a smug voice," Greeting ladies and dino boy."
"Kai where are you?" Rumiko roared.
"Why don't you ask Guilmon," Kai teased. "He seems able to sniff me out."
But surprisingly the virus-type dash forward and actually tackle something. Guilmon faced the girls as Kai appeared in his claws. Both Rumiko and Renamon were mildly shocked but the famous model quickly snapped out of it.
"I see now, you were using a cloaking spell to hide right in plain sight," she said.
"Yes but that's not all I did" Kai said with a smug smirk.
Guilmon's eyes widen as he looked passed the girls. "Look out!"
But it was to late, IceDevimon had appeared behind the female fighters and shoved them to the ground, where he held them tight. Kai then drove both elbows into Guilmon's gut, hard. The dinosaur digimon doubled over from the pain as he held his stomach. Then Kai punched him in the face, sending him to the ground, dazed and confused.
"Were are they?" Rumiko asked angrily as she tried to break free of her captor.
"Oh the brats, they're here," Kai said.
Then he went over to the center of the clearing and with a wave of his hand, the two in-training digimon appeared. They were now fully awake and scared out of their minds.
Kai rubbed his hands together as he said," Now whom should I start with? Maybe the brown lizard?" he looked Guilmon, who finally starting to regain his senses. "Or how about the red fox?" Then he looked at Renamon, who was struggling more then even to break free. Wait! I know, I'll start with both of them.
"R-Rika," Renamon stammered as she fought against the icy grip holding.
"T-T-Takatomon ," Guilmon breathed.
Kai lean in close and stroke Rika's fur. Then he grabbed a hand full and gave it a good yank. The little fox-like digimon yelped out in surprised. Then the twisted Makino grabbed Takato's tail and yank it. He too yelped out in surprised. That only enraged their partner more.
"Leave." Renamon started.
".Them." Guilmon continued.
"ALLLLLLOOOONNNNEEEEEEE!!!" the two digimons roared in unison.
Suddenly Guilmon began glowing a crimson red color and felt his strength returning ten fond. Renamon lit up a bright yellow color as she felt her strength jumping through the roof. But right at that moment Rumiko remembered what this strange power was.
Renamon broke free of captor and kicked the icy fallen angel right in the face. Then Guilmon tackled him. Renamon helped her friend up and Rumiko notice the confusion in her fox's eyes. But Renamon wasn't the type just to let something go to waste. So Rumiko nodded, understanding what she must do. So she ran and left the two digimons to fight their own kind, knowing that with their new -found power, her friends would be able to take kind of themselves.
Kai was so absorbed in what he was doing, that he didn't notice Rumiko was standing behind him.
"Mind letting them go," the famous model said firmly but he just a hint of anger in it.
Startled, Kai spun around and stared straight into the rage full eyes of his own little sister. Then Rumiko drove her fist into Kai's gut; follow by an uppercut to the chin. Finally she grabbed him by both wrists and began swinging him around. She let him go and he went flying head first into a tree.
Rumiko stared for a belief moment at her dazed brother before going and untied the two in-trainings. Takato and Rika stared at their partners with wide eyes, gapping mouths.
"So it happened again," Takato said, sounding just as surprise as ever, even though he witnessed this before.
Surprisingly Rika found her voice," Again? You mean this happened before?"
"Yes, just yesterday actually," Rumiko replied. "And I think I know what it is too."
The cursed tamers looked up at the tall woman with confused expression.
"You do?" Takato asked dumbfounded.
"Yes I do," Rumiko replied softly.
"Well tell us mom what is it?" Rika asked.
The famous model looked at the dueling digimons and spoke in a whisper- like tone," The light of love."
"The light of what?!" Both cursed tamer shouted together.
"Your father told me about it one time Rika," Rumiko said without taking her eyes off the battle.
(Flashback.Rumiko P.O.V)
I was living with your father at the time because I was still cursed with that cat body of my. Your father lived with his grandmother because both of his parents had been killed in a terrible car accident. But his grandmother who lived in Japan was all too happy to take him in. There was a cherry blossom tree in his back yard. He and I used to spend hours under that tree, me lying on his lap and he writing the whole day away. He just loved to write.
One nice spring day I came back from a little walk to find your father, just staring up at the sky, those strangely sad full eyes fixed on something.
"Meow?" I asked as I joined him.
He looked back at me with that strange sad smile of his before kneeling down on his left knee and sketching of under my chin. "Hey wildcat, probably wondering what I'm doing."
"Meow."
"I was just thinking about how my grandfather said that there's many different kinds of lights in this world we can't see," Matt said softly.
"Meow?" I said in a confused tone and titled my head to my right. A very unlike cat thing to do, but I was a human tripped in a cat body.
"Well I don't really understand it myself, but my grandpa said that there are many lights in this world. Like the light of life," the black haired boy stood up and looked at the sun. "Like the sun itself this light is meant to brighten up are lives. Then there's the light of faith that's guides us through our lives and is aided by its partner the light of destiny. And what my grandpa thinks as the strongest the light of love."
"Meow?"
"The reason he thought it was the strongest is because if you can lived through all of it hardships, then you would be reword with happiness beyond you wildest dreams," Matt spoke softly.
Then he went over to the tree and set against it truck. He took out that notepad and pen he uses to write with. He opened the book and began saying out loud with he was writing.
The lights of the world:
In this world are lights to guide us on this path of life itself. These lights of life, faith, destiny and love all shines greatly in our hearts. But if that shine should even faded and we loose even one of those precious lights then we forget the good things in life and began to stumble blindly across the path that is before us. And if those lights don't shines again, our faith and love could be gone forever.
The way he's writes is always sad and kind of depressing, but that's how your father was. So I settle into his lap and let his calm soothing voice put me into a nice dream.
(End of Flashback.normal P.O.V)
"So you that the power Guilmon and Renamon has is this light of love," Takato asked.
Rumiko nodded and said softly," Yes. I know it may sound stupid but it's the only thing that makes any sense."
"I don't," Takato said.
Rumiko smiled at the little digimon, but notice the look of shame in her daughter's own large violet eyes. The famous model knew what her daughter was ashamed about, but she tried her best to ignore it for now and focus back on the battle. Soon Takato and Rika's attentions were back on the fight too.
Even though IceDevimon was a champion, his opponents with they new found gift made them more then a match for the icy digimon. So IceDevimon soared high into the air, but not even that seemed to help either. Renamon was able to jump higher then the fallen angel and kick right back to the ground. And Kai was still knocked silly from his sister last attack and was of no help.
Renamon charged in from the right while Guilmon came in from the left. Renamon punch her opponent in the back of the head, while Guilmon punched him in the face. The icy digimon goes spinning backwards like a top into a tree, knocking the wind out of him.
Renamon then jumped onto Guilmon's shoulders and the dinosaur had no trouble supporting her. Then flames began emitting from the corners of the virus's mouth while Renamon cupped her hands towards and brought over to her right side, diamonds appearing in her hands. "Diamond sphere !!" the two cried out in unison. Guilmon thrust his head up, releasing a stream of fire, while Renamon thrust her hands out, releasing her diamonds.
As the diamonds passed through the flames, they changed into a sphere of swirling flaming diamonds. The new combined attack hit IceDevimon as he tried to get into the air and sent him clear out of the park. Kai who had recovered saw the whole thing and decided to make his exit by running away quickly. He just simple vanish as he employed that cloaking spell he was using early.
The light faded and Guilmon finally felt the weight on his shoulder and both collapsed to the ground. Rumiko packed up the two smaller digimons and walked over to the exhausted rookies. Takato and Rika jumped out of the famous model's arms and went over to their partners. Renamon and Guilmon were panting hard and sweating even harder.
"What.just.happened.to.us?" Renamon asked while taking to catch her breath.
"Don't worry it just a light shinning brightly in your hearts," Rumiko answered softly.
"How do you feel Guilmon?" Takato asked.
"All.warm.and.fuzzy," Guilmon said before fainted.
Renamon wasn't too far behind him either. Rumiko looked at each of the sleeping digimon and then at Takato and Rika.
"I guess it couldn't hurt if you two stayed over another night."
Takato blush deeply at that, while Rika just rolled her eyes. But secretly she was hiding her own blush deep in her ashy red fur. Rumiko packed up the sleeping digimons and sling them over her shoulder. Then she and the two cursed tamers went to Rika house.
But unknown to anyone there, a familiar ghostly figure have watch the entire things. The ghost had kept invisible, but know decided to show himself. He was leaning against a tree with his hands in his pockets, watching the fight with a smile.
He took out his left fist from his pocket and said in a clear human tone," Love is the greatest power behind those claws of their." Then thrust his fist into the air. Then the ghost faded from sight once again.
Me: Well everyone we're coming to the end of this half of my story and I'll like your thoughts on the poem my character wrote and about that combined attack.
BlackRenamon: Well if you ask me that diamond sphere were sweet.
Rika: Well that's you. But I hate to admit it but it was good.
Me: Thanks kid.
Takato: But I liked to know what's deal with that ghost anyways?
Me: That would be spoiling and that just aren't me. But I do promise you this, things are going to take a twist in the last few chapters.
BlackRenamon: So are you going to tell us what's up with Renamon and Guilmon and that strange new power of theirs?
Takato: Yeah I like to know that too.
Rika: We all would, so start typing before I get mad. (Show fists)
Me: I'll get to that, and beside have you're threats even worked before?
Rika: So still doesn't mean I can kick you butt around this house.
Me (Rolling my eyes): Right.
Guilmon (Running into the room): Get her off of me!
Renamon (Stumbling into the room): Hey have you guys started yet, because I really want to see what happened to the icy dude.
BlackRenamon: That's icy dude is IceDevimon.
Renamon: Oh. (Then collapsed into the other Renamon's hands)
BlackRenamon (putting Renamon on the cough): I think we should go on now.
Takato: Yeah before Renamon wakes up.
Me: Gottcha ya all.
In-Training: Chapter 10: A light of love.
After dropping the sleeping trio at her home and phoning Takato's parents tell them that Guilmon and their son were safe, Rumiko head to her secret relaxing spot in the park to think. She was now doing some exercises to try and clean her head and think about what happened during the fight with Kai and IceDevimon. But she kept drafting back to that one event the changed the course of the battle.
(Flashback.Rumiko's P.O.V)
IceDevimon tossed Renamon at me and I caught her, by I was left opened for an attack. Then Kai kicked me in the head, knocking me senseless. Next IceDevimon attacked, backing me into a corner and with Renamon and myself dazed we're we in trouble.
But we stopped fighting when a monstrous roar filled the room. Everyone turned to the source of the monstrous cry in time to Guilmon glowing a crimson red color. He managed to break bonds of pure magic and rushed at the icy digimon. But IceDevimon avoided him by taking to the air. But Guilmon launched one of his pyro-spheres and hit the icy digimon in the chest. The fallen angel crushed to the ground and Guilmon tackled him and began taking swings with his claws. IceDevimon got the virus off of him by punching him. IceDevimon got to his feet slowly and painfully, only to be meant be a high-flying kick from Renamon. Amazingly the vaccine- type was now glowing a yellow color. But then fired their attacks and their combined into a gigantic flaming sphere of diamonds. The attack was so powerful that it sent the fallen angel through a wall. The glow then faded and both digimon collapsed.
(End of Flashback.no ones P.O.V)
Rumiko couldn't get that out of her head, so she couldn't focus on her exercising.
It just simply amazing. That strange light seemed to boost their power greatly, Rumiko thought.
The famous model pushed those thought out of her head the best she could and tried to focus on her exercising. After centering her breathing, she got into a fighting stance. She started off with a punch, followed by a dropped kick. Next she jumped high into the air and do a forward ball roll back to the ground. Then she did a forward hand spin that turned into a spinning split kick. She got back to her feet and threw a punch and followed that up with an uppercut. Finally she ended it with another high- flying jump that turned into a backwards spin kick.
Rumiko landed and heard someone clapping. She turns to face the clapper, expecting to see Kai, but it was only Impmon.
He stopped clapping and said," Hey tots that was great."
"What do you want Impmon?" Rumiko asked coldly.
"Nothing," the little purple digimon replied smugly and with a smile.
Rumiko didn't like that smile one bit. It reminded her too much of Kai. And right at the moment she was fighting off the urge to go up to the little digimon and beat the living days lights out of him.
"I'll ask again, what do you want?" Rumiko asked, only more warmly this time.
"Jeez just like you daughter," Impmon muttered.
But Rumiko gave him a death glare that even could make Rika sweat.
"Okay, okay," Impmon, said waving his hands around. "I heard that you and foxy ran into that icy freak again."
"How did you learn about that so fast?" Rumiko asked, with a curious eye.
"It's none of you're business how I know, I just know," Impmon said. "So did you?"
"Yeah what about it?" Rumiko asked.
"I just wanted to be sure foxy was okay," Impmon said. "Not that I care or anything."
Rumiko cocked her right eyebrow at that. We'll just see about that, she thought, and then she said," Oh she was saved by Guilmon."
Impmon was looking to his side, cleaning out his right ear. But once he heard Guilmon's name, he shoot the famous model a death glare. "PINAPPLEHEAD!!"
Just as I thought, Rumiko thought.
"What does that breading-loving goof ball have that I don't!?" Impmon roared.
He's jealous.
"Well Impmon it's has been fun, but I got to go," Rumiko said then faded into the shadows.
She ran as Impmon screamed".Hey shadow fighter get here, I'm not down with you yet."
(The next day at the Nonaka household)
The first thing that came to Takato's mind as he slowly opened his large, brown eyes was, this isn't my room.
Then it all came back to him. He remembered being captured by a strange man with icy white hair and Kai with Guilmon. He remembered being stuck in a cage for nearly four hours with a snoring Guilmon. He then remembered Renamon and Rika's mother coming to their rescue. But what he remembered the most was this strange light that both Renamon and Guilmon elated that make them twice at stronger then normal.
"Finally awake I see gogglehead," a high-pitch, familiar voice
A look of fear appears on the little lizard's face as he thought grimly, oh boy let hope that not who I think it is.
He turned around to see the ashy red fur with yellow strips of Rika. Her large violet eyes staring into his own large eyes.
"R-Rika, where am I?" Takato asked nervously.
"My home. My mom brought you, dino boy and Renamon here because you all were out like lights," Rika said.
"Guilmon?" Takato asked with a confused look.
Using her tail, Rika pointed to a spot near where Takato was. The cursed tamer looked to where she was pointed to see Guilmon snoring loudly. But then he notice that Guilmon was really close to Renamon, their tails were intertwined.
Oh boy, he's really going to get it when she wakes up, Takato thought bitterly.
Then Rika slapped him lightly on the head with her tail. "C'mon gogglehead, my grandma had breakfast ready."
Then the red furred Viximon left the room. But Takato looked at her partner with a worried eye before following Rika. This would actually by the first time Takato really saw Rika's house from the inside. And everyone was bigger then he was. But of course he knew it wasn't the house, it was him. He was just so small.
Rika lead the way to the kitchen and what the small brown Gigimon saw made his mouth watered. The table was filled with food. His stomach then let out a loud growl and he realized he hadn't had anything to eat in along time.
"Well I see you're not shy about you appetite," a soft gentle voice said from above him.
Takato looked up and saw the smiling face of Miss Makino.
"Here let me help you up," the elder gently lifted Takato up and set him on the table.
Rika was already on the table and was eating away at a stack of cut up pancakes. Takato spotted another plate of sliced up pancakes and went over to it. He took one bit and it was the most wonderful pancakes he had even tasted. Better then even his mothers His hunger won and he dove into the stack.
"Like I said you're not shy about your appetite," the elder said lightly. "But with everything that happened to you lately I'm not surprised. I mean you probably haven't eaten in a good couple of hours."
Takato gave a quick nod before going back to eating. Then the three heard the sound of something crashing through a wall somewhere and the two cursed tamers knew what was the cause of it was. But both just kept on eating.
The elder went to check on what the noise was all about and a few seconds later Takato heard a sigh followed by something that sounded like chanting.
Takato looked up from his pancakes and asked," What was that all about?"
Rika swallowed the food she had in her mouth before replying," Oh that's was just my grandma she's a spell caster."
"What? Spell caster?!" Takato exclaimed.
"Yeah spell caster. She learned it from my grandfather as my mother learned martial arts from my father. Now let me eat, gogglehead," Rika ordered and then went back to her pancakes.
Rika's grandmother came in with Guilmon tailing her, rubbing the top of his head. Renamon appeared in the room after that, looking quit mad. But no one took the notice of the light blush on her face. Guilmon took a sit next to Takato and tore into the food in front of him. Renamon took a sit next to her cursed tamer and amazingly she too started to devour what was in front of her.
"Renamon do you remember anything that happened last night?" Takato asked.
Renamon swallowed her food and looked up at the little digimon. "All I really remember is getting tossed into Rumiko and then everything went blink."
"Hmm umm," Guilmon said with a mouth full of toast.
"Mind tell us after you swallow dino boy," Rika said.
Guilmon swallowed then said," Me too."
They don't remember what happened. Guess I can't get anything out of them, Takato thought.
(Kai's lair)
Kai was enraged over last night's battle. Everything in the bag when out of nowhere, that dinosaur had broke free with some strange power then he and the fox beat IceDevimon with that same power. The dark Makino was starting to think recruiting the icy looser was a mistake, a really big mistake.
Kai was setting at his usual spot with his elbows on the armrests of his chair and his fingers joined at the tips. The icy fallen angel was in his usual corner with his arms folded across his chest. Both were staring at each other with hateful eyes.
"So you're sure you don't know what that power was?" Kai asked for the tenth time.
"No for the last time, I don't," IceDevimon hissed angrily.
"Then tell what are you good for?" Kai roared angrily as he bolted from his set.
"I can kill you!" IceDevimon shouted angrily as he uncrossed his arms and held them out.
The two tyrants looked ready to tare each other opened. But Kai held up his right hand and calmly said," Before we tare each other apart, I have a little suggestion I'll like to make."
The icy digimon relaxed a bit and asked," What?"
"Why don't we lure that fox and lizard out and see if that strange light happens again," Kai suggested.
"How do we lure them out?" IceDevimon asked coldly.
"simple we take those brats and their precious partner would come flying into our arms," Kai replied smoothly.
"But your darling little sister would get in the way," IceDevimon pointed out.
"Fine let her, I'll be there too," Kai boosted as he chest puffed out and he jolted his thumb into it.
"Okay you got my ear," the icy fiend replied as he crossed his arms.
Kai smirk and began lying out his plan.
(.)
Rumiko was walking in the park in her street cloths after getting done with her modeling for today. He mind was still on what happened last night. For some reason that power seemed familiar to her. But she just couldn't place it.
The famous model walked through the park and with her shades on, so no one realized her. She was too deep in her thoughts to realize that she had a shadow. This shadow was staying hidden in the bushes, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Rumiko finally pulled herself out of her thoughts and realized she was at the stairs that lead to the spot were her daughter and her friends' hangs out. She was about to claim them when she felt something coming at her from behind. With fluid-like moment, the famous model spun around and snatched a rock out of mid-air. She felt out that the attacker was hiding in a bush to her right and tossed the rock ten times harder then the attacker did. A second later a faint thump was heard, followed by a moan. Rumiko got into a fighting stance as her attacker came into view. But she relaxed when she saw it was only Impmon. He was rubbing a light red sore make in the center of his forehead.
"Hey what was that for? I just want to talk,' he roared.
Rumiko folded her arms across her chest and asked coldly," About what?"
"Maybe I just would tell you now after what you did to me," Impmon said annoyingly, folding his own arms.
Rumiko grinned and sarcastically said," Okay then I guess you don't need me." She then turns around like she was getting ready to leave.
"Wait, I'm not done with you," Impmon roared.
Rumiko face him and asked," Well what do you want."
"I just wanted to know if what you said about Pinapplehead was true?" Impmon asked.
"Oh yes and they make quit the couple too," Rumiko teased.
"Hey now listen here lady, I don't care if you do know foxy, that wouldn't stop me from teaching you a lesson," Impmon said with just a hint of anger.
"Oh and what do you have in mind?" Rumiko asked sarcastically.
"I'll show you what I have in mind," Impmon raised is right hand, index finger out and a small fireball appeared, floating above the finger.
But before Impmon could blink, Rumiko was right in front of the purple virus. Her left hand came up and closed around the ball of fire. Small bursts of flames erupted from between the famous model's fingers and then she showed Impmon her palm. To the surprise of Impmon, there were only a few barely visible burns on the glove.
"Well maybe I felt like taking it easy on ya," Impmon said, trying to keep the nervousness out of his voice, but failing.
Then he rushed off muttering something.
Rumiko shook her head and muttered to herself," Next time I'm going to aim for his mouth." Then she went back to her outing and back to her thinking.
(Rika's house)
Surprisingly, Takato and Guilmon had stayed nearly the entire day with Rika and Renamon. But Guilmon had spent most of that time, avoiding Renamon, afraid of getting hit again. Takato on the other hand had spent the day with Rika, even though he did get a tail slip here and there. But he'll live. But he was also really happy that he had spent the entire day with his follow cursed tamer and that was the same for Rika.
Now the cursed gogglehead was standing on the back porch, watching Miss Makino. The elder was dressed in her holy white robes with the candles around the small pond in the back of the house. As she waved her hands around, she chanted.
"May the white angel watch over those who are in the blade of the fallen ones. May she give her wisdom and strength to save those who are in danger. May she protect those who are in harms way."
The elder continued to chant for nearly 20 minutes and Takato watched in amazement.
There's more then meet the eye with Rika's entire family. Her mother was taught martial arts by her husband and her grandmother was taught to cost spell by her husband, the little brown lizard thought amazingly. But then he thoughts drafted towards a certain red furred fox and how special she was to him. Just thinking about it brought a deep blush to his brown face.
The elder then took some kind of red dust out of a pouch near her and sprinkle it on the candle on her right. Then the flames must have shoot up at least five inches, turning a bright red color in the process. Then the flames of the next candle shoot up. Followed by another, then another until it reached the one opposite of the elder. Then all of the flames died out. Rika's grandmother got to her feet and began packing her things away.
Rika came up from behind Takato, ready to have a little fun with him. She playfully nudged him in the rear and hurried behind a peril. But surprisingly nothing happened. No yelp of surprise or no playful chasing. So Rika looked out from her hiding spot to see the cursed gogglehead staring blankly at her grandmother praying spot, even though Miss Makino had finish her packing and went inside to change. So Rika went up to him and see he was in a trance.
"Hey gogglehead snap out of it," Rika said forcefully and slapped him with her tail.
Takato blinked a few time and said amazingly," Wow, Rika that was just amazing."
"Yeah grandma is good at that kind of stuff," Rika said with just a little pride in her voice.
"Oh is that pride in you voice Rika?" Takato asked teasingly.
That in turn got him another tail slap from the red vaccine-type. "Watch it gogglehead, I may not have any hands, but I still can kick you brown rear."
Takato for some reason just couldn't help himself when he said," Prove it."
Without warning, Rika pounced on the little brown lizard and wrapped her tail around his. Both cursed tamers go tumbling onto the lawn and into that small pond. A few second later, both surfaced and were socking wet. And there stand Guilmon and Renamon at the edge of the pond.
"Have a nice swim you two?" Renamon asked with a tiny smile.
Then she disappears and reappears a split of second later with two towels in her hands. She tossed one over to Guilmon then both bent down and pick up their cursed, water logged tamers. The larger digimons carefully dried their tamers and sent them back on the ground. Then Guilmon handed his towel back to Renamon and she vanished. The female fighter reappeared a moment later.
"Guilmon I think its time for you and Takato to return home. I'm sure his parents are still a bit worried," Renamon said.
Both Guilmon's and Takato's ears lowered, but Guilmon said in low tone," Okay." He then picked up Takato and sent him on his head.
The two foxes watch at they left, both having the same thoughts of how cute their secret crushes looked when they pout.
(That night)
A long figure made his way across the streets of the quiet city, his direction, none other then the Matsuki bakery. Cloaked in his black cape and clothes, Kai reach the back door of the bakery without even the smallest trouble. He reached out for the door handle when something like needles pierced his skin. He pulled his hand back and rubbed it. Something about that pain seemed officially familiar. He reached out again and again the felt the pain in his hand, only this time it was worse. He drew back again and stared at the house with anger burning brightly in his eyes,
Curse mother and those blasted spell of hers, he thought angrily.
"Thought you could enter into this house," IceDevimon said sarcastically as he descended from the sky
In his right underarm was an unconscious Rika, all gagged and tied.
"Shut up!" Kai roared. " My mother must have put one of those blasted spells on this house."
"You weak humans. Here," IceDevimon tossed the in-training to Kai.
Then the icy fallen angel's wings folded around him. A split second later, the bat-like wings unfolded and then refolded into his back. And there stood the human form of IceDevimon.
"Can you at least work the lock from here?" IceDevimon asked coldly, pointing at the door with his head.
Kai gave the fake human a small humph then with his right hand made a gesture like turning a door handle. A low clip was heard a second later and the fake human went into the house without making any noise.
A long three minutes later, IceDevimon exited the house with another tied and gagged in-training digimon, which his tossed to Kai and closed the door before him. The twisted human locked the door back up and caught the cursed tamer. Then IceDevimon discarded his human form as Kai walked up to him.
"You did as I told you too?" he asked commandingly.
"Of course," IceDevimon replied coldly.
"Good," Kai said with that twisted grin of his. "Now let go and waited fro our guest."
Then IceDevimon went airborne while Kai jumped onto the roof and began running across with the two unconscious tamers between his underarms.
(Nonaka househould)
Renamon felt like she had been run over by ten Monochromon followed by five Tankmon. Renamon opened her eyes weakly to see Rumiko's worried face looming over her.
"What's wrong?" Renamon's voice was scratchy and low. She tried to get up but found her body was like lend.
"Save your strength, you're still recovering from a spell," Miss Makino said.
Renamon hadn't even notices the elder by her side until she spoke. She was wearing her holy white robes and had a candle at corner of the fox digimon.
"What happened?" Renamon asked more cleanly this time.
The two women looked at each other and nodded. Then Rumiko showed the fox digimon a note.
Pathetic Renamon, if you want to see my tamer again, meet me at the park with that Dino boy and tell my tamer's mother she's invited too.
IceDevimon.
Renamon jolted up after reading the note a little to quickly as a wave of dizziness hit her and the room began spinning. Rumiko placed her hand on Renamon's shoulder and gently but forcefully pushed the vaccine-type back onto her bed.
"Now just lay back until my mother is finished," Rumiko said.
"Actually I'm done, so you should be fine in a few minutes," the elder said looking at Renamon. "Then I went you take something to help Guilmon."
"Guilmon? Why?" Renamon asked.
"Well the note said to bring Guilmon so I guess Kai also take Takato. Beside those two went to drew you two out," Rumiko said.
"But why?" Renamon asked, her head was feeling better.
"Because you two were able to beat IceDevimon with a strange light that boost your powers," Rumiko explained evenly.
"But I don't remember using a kind of light?" Renamon said, mildly confused as she got into a sitting position.
"You must have blacked out when it happened," the elder said as she was packing her things away.
"Okay now that we got that all cleaned up, I think it's time to get busy," Rumiko said commandingly.
The others nodded and Renamon stood up. She took the cure for Guilmon from the elder and faded into the shadow. Rumiko left for her room to get change.
(.)
Rumiko, Renamon were being led by Guilmon's nose through the park, closing in on Kai and his icy buddy. For some reason Renamon couldn't shack this icy feeling she had even since the trio entered into the park. Guilmon suddenly stopped and stuck his nose to the air.
"Something wrong Guilmon?" Renamon asked.
"They're here," Guilmon replied in that rough tone of his and began growling.
"Are you sure? I can't smell anything," Renamon said, scanning her surrounding.
"Don't forget he can mark his own scent," Rumiko reminded her.
Renamon nodded and said," True."
Then a sinister laugh seemed to come from all direction at once, followed by a smug voice," Greeting ladies and dino boy."
"Kai where are you?" Rumiko roared.
"Why don't you ask Guilmon," Kai teased. "He seems able to sniff me out."
But surprisingly the virus-type dash forward and actually tackle something. Guilmon faced the girls as Kai appeared in his claws. Both Rumiko and Renamon were mildly shocked but the famous model quickly snapped out of it.
"I see now, you were using a cloaking spell to hide right in plain sight," she said.
"Yes but that's not all I did" Kai said with a smug smirk.
Guilmon's eyes widen as he looked passed the girls. "Look out!"
But it was to late, IceDevimon had appeared behind the female fighters and shoved them to the ground, where he held them tight. Kai then drove both elbows into Guilmon's gut, hard. The dinosaur digimon doubled over from the pain as he held his stomach. Then Kai punched him in the face, sending him to the ground, dazed and confused.
"Were are they?" Rumiko asked angrily as she tried to break free of her captor.
"Oh the brats, they're here," Kai said.
Then he went over to the center of the clearing and with a wave of his hand, the two in-training digimon appeared. They were now fully awake and scared out of their minds.
Kai rubbed his hands together as he said," Now whom should I start with? Maybe the brown lizard?" he looked Guilmon, who finally starting to regain his senses. "Or how about the red fox?" Then he looked at Renamon, who was struggling more then even to break free. Wait! I know, I'll start with both of them.
"R-Rika," Renamon stammered as she fought against the icy grip holding.
"T-T-Takatomon ," Guilmon breathed.
Kai lean in close and stroke Rika's fur. Then he grabbed a hand full and gave it a good yank. The little fox-like digimon yelped out in surprised. Then the twisted Makino grabbed Takato's tail and yank it. He too yelped out in surprised. That only enraged their partner more.
"Leave." Renamon started.
".Them." Guilmon continued.
"ALLLLLLOOOONNNNEEEEEEE!!!" the two digimons roared in unison.
Suddenly Guilmon began glowing a crimson red color and felt his strength returning ten fond. Renamon lit up a bright yellow color as she felt her strength jumping through the roof. But right at that moment Rumiko remembered what this strange power was.
Renamon broke free of captor and kicked the icy fallen angel right in the face. Then Guilmon tackled him. Renamon helped her friend up and Rumiko notice the confusion in her fox's eyes. But Renamon wasn't the type just to let something go to waste. So Rumiko nodded, understanding what she must do. So she ran and left the two digimons to fight their own kind, knowing that with their new -found power, her friends would be able to take kind of themselves.
Kai was so absorbed in what he was doing, that he didn't notice Rumiko was standing behind him.
"Mind letting them go," the famous model said firmly but he just a hint of anger in it.
Startled, Kai spun around and stared straight into the rage full eyes of his own little sister. Then Rumiko drove her fist into Kai's gut; follow by an uppercut to the chin. Finally she grabbed him by both wrists and began swinging him around. She let him go and he went flying head first into a tree.
Rumiko stared for a belief moment at her dazed brother before going and untied the two in-trainings. Takato and Rika stared at their partners with wide eyes, gapping mouths.
"So it happened again," Takato said, sounding just as surprise as ever, even though he witnessed this before.
Surprisingly Rika found her voice," Again? You mean this happened before?"
"Yes, just yesterday actually," Rumiko replied. "And I think I know what it is too."
The cursed tamers looked up at the tall woman with confused expression.
"You do?" Takato asked dumbfounded.
"Yes I do," Rumiko replied softly.
"Well tell us mom what is it?" Rika asked.
The famous model looked at the dueling digimons and spoke in a whisper- like tone," The light of love."
"The light of what?!" Both cursed tamer shouted together.
"Your father told me about it one time Rika," Rumiko said without taking her eyes off the battle.
(Flashback.Rumiko P.O.V)
I was living with your father at the time because I was still cursed with that cat body of my. Your father lived with his grandmother because both of his parents had been killed in a terrible car accident. But his grandmother who lived in Japan was all too happy to take him in. There was a cherry blossom tree in his back yard. He and I used to spend hours under that tree, me lying on his lap and he writing the whole day away. He just loved to write.
One nice spring day I came back from a little walk to find your father, just staring up at the sky, those strangely sad full eyes fixed on something.
"Meow?" I asked as I joined him.
He looked back at me with that strange sad smile of his before kneeling down on his left knee and sketching of under my chin. "Hey wildcat, probably wondering what I'm doing."
"Meow."
"I was just thinking about how my grandfather said that there's many different kinds of lights in this world we can't see," Matt said softly.
"Meow?" I said in a confused tone and titled my head to my right. A very unlike cat thing to do, but I was a human tripped in a cat body.
"Well I don't really understand it myself, but my grandpa said that there are many lights in this world. Like the light of life," the black haired boy stood up and looked at the sun. "Like the sun itself this light is meant to brighten up are lives. Then there's the light of faith that's guides us through our lives and is aided by its partner the light of destiny. And what my grandpa thinks as the strongest the light of love."
"Meow?"
"The reason he thought it was the strongest is because if you can lived through all of it hardships, then you would be reword with happiness beyond you wildest dreams," Matt spoke softly.
Then he went over to the tree and set against it truck. He took out that notepad and pen he uses to write with. He opened the book and began saying out loud with he was writing.
The lights of the world:
In this world are lights to guide us on this path of life itself. These lights of life, faith, destiny and love all shines greatly in our hearts. But if that shine should even faded and we loose even one of those precious lights then we forget the good things in life and began to stumble blindly across the path that is before us. And if those lights don't shines again, our faith and love could be gone forever.
The way he's writes is always sad and kind of depressing, but that's how your father was. So I settle into his lap and let his calm soothing voice put me into a nice dream.
(End of Flashback.normal P.O.V)
"So you that the power Guilmon and Renamon has is this light of love," Takato asked.
Rumiko nodded and said softly," Yes. I know it may sound stupid but it's the only thing that makes any sense."
"I don't," Takato said.
Rumiko smiled at the little digimon, but notice the look of shame in her daughter's own large violet eyes. The famous model knew what her daughter was ashamed about, but she tried her best to ignore it for now and focus back on the battle. Soon Takato and Rika's attentions were back on the fight too.
Even though IceDevimon was a champion, his opponents with they new found gift made them more then a match for the icy digimon. So IceDevimon soared high into the air, but not even that seemed to help either. Renamon was able to jump higher then the fallen angel and kick right back to the ground. And Kai was still knocked silly from his sister last attack and was of no help.
Renamon charged in from the right while Guilmon came in from the left. Renamon punch her opponent in the back of the head, while Guilmon punched him in the face. The icy digimon goes spinning backwards like a top into a tree, knocking the wind out of him.
Renamon then jumped onto Guilmon's shoulders and the dinosaur had no trouble supporting her. Then flames began emitting from the corners of the virus's mouth while Renamon cupped her hands towards and brought over to her right side, diamonds appearing in her hands. "Diamond sphere !!" the two cried out in unison. Guilmon thrust his head up, releasing a stream of fire, while Renamon thrust her hands out, releasing her diamonds.
As the diamonds passed through the flames, they changed into a sphere of swirling flaming diamonds. The new combined attack hit IceDevimon as he tried to get into the air and sent him clear out of the park. Kai who had recovered saw the whole thing and decided to make his exit by running away quickly. He just simple vanish as he employed that cloaking spell he was using early.
The light faded and Guilmon finally felt the weight on his shoulder and both collapsed to the ground. Rumiko packed up the two smaller digimons and walked over to the exhausted rookies. Takato and Rika jumped out of the famous model's arms and went over to their partners. Renamon and Guilmon were panting hard and sweating even harder.
"What.just.happened.to.us?" Renamon asked while taking to catch her breath.
"Don't worry it just a light shinning brightly in your hearts," Rumiko answered softly.
"How do you feel Guilmon?" Takato asked.
"All.warm.and.fuzzy," Guilmon said before fainted.
Renamon wasn't too far behind him either. Rumiko looked at each of the sleeping digimon and then at Takato and Rika.
"I guess it couldn't hurt if you two stayed over another night."
Takato blush deeply at that, while Rika just rolled her eyes. But secretly she was hiding her own blush deep in her ashy red fur. Rumiko packed up the sleeping digimons and sling them over her shoulder. Then she and the two cursed tamers went to Rika house.
But unknown to anyone there, a familiar ghostly figure have watch the entire things. The ghost had kept invisible, but know decided to show himself. He was leaning against a tree with his hands in his pockets, watching the fight with a smile.
He took out his left fist from his pocket and said in a clear human tone," Love is the greatest power behind those claws of their." Then thrust his fist into the air. Then the ghost faded from sight once again.
Me: Well everyone we're coming to the end of this half of my story and I'll like your thoughts on the poem my character wrote and about that combined attack.
BlackRenamon: Well if you ask me that diamond sphere were sweet.
Rika: Well that's you. But I hate to admit it but it was good.
Me: Thanks kid.
Takato: But I liked to know what's deal with that ghost anyways?
Me: That would be spoiling and that just aren't me. But I do promise you this, things are going to take a twist in the last few chapters.
