Chapter 2: Horrific Dream! Rika Unites With Her Father!?

The Digital Zone was still spiraling downtown Ichidai. The people got one look at it & they started to run away.

Over at Hypnos, Riley was giving Yamaki, who was at a train company, all the info that she can. "Readings are coming in from Ichidai!" she replied, "They're under attack! As it stands now, The Digital Field will begin expanding into the Real World!"

Yamaki heard every word as he explained, "If we can divert it from Ichidai, maybe we can reverse its influence." "But that's impossible!" said the Train Supervisor, "The area, over there, is under major reconstruction! It's not ready for train bypass!" "Then do it by hand; have your men adjust the tracks by hand just as soon as it gets there! That's all we can do for now!" "But, where....?" "Only one place.........Yoyogi Station!"

---------------------------------------

Later, as Kazu, Kenta, Guilmon & MarineAngemon were heading to catch Locomon, Kazu spotted Henry. "Hey, Henry!" he yelled. "Guys!" Henry replied back, "We got to stop that digimon before it raises hell all over the place!" "What we've heard that Takato's on it!" replied Kazu. "Is that true, Guilmon?" Henry asked. Guilmon nodded & said, "And Locomon seems to be too much for us though. What I also heard is that Rika & Renamon might be on that train too!" "Does Rika know?" Henry asked, "I mean, she is real tense around Takato; even though that Jeri decided to be friends with him!"

Kazu, Kenta & Guilmon shook their heads as Henry continued, "I just hope that Rika doesn't do anything stupid, like pounding his ass into hamburger meat!" "Anyway, how do we catch up with them?" Kenta asked, "We can't match up to Locomon's speed!" "We'll use that car," replied Henry pointing to the one over the tracks, "Once we get on, Guardromon will use his power to move it!" "Well, then leave it to me!" replied Guardromon agreeing.

"Oh, by the way," replied Kazu, "Where's Terriermon?" Henry was taken aback as the others saw Lopmon instead of Terriermon. "Well, I, uh......" he studdered, "I mixed them up!" The other facefaulted as Henry continued, (silently) "Terriermon's gonna open a can of Woopass on me!"

-------------------------------------

Meanwhile.............

"Henry! I'm gonna kick your butt as soon as you get here!" Terriermon yelled sitting on the bench.

"Take it easy, Terriermon!" said Suzie.

-------------------------------------

As the construction workers worked hard near Yoyogi Station, Yamaki kept on waiting for them to finish. "Yamaki, sir!" said the Train Supervisor, "We have trouble! There's children on that digimon!" "Did you say children?!" asked the Superintendent. "They said that they got on from a station nearby!" "It must be them........" Yamaki whispered, "Quick! Patch me to them at once!"

-------------------------------------

Back on Locomon, Rika 's phone went off. She answered it & once she knew who it was, she gave the cell phone to Takato. "Yamaki!" he yelled. "I knew it was you guys!" Yamaki replied, "Listen to me...We're leading the digimon to the Soubu Line, then attack it at Yoyogi Station. Get off the train as fast as you can!" Takato agreed then said to Rika, "Yamaki said they're gonna attack at Yoyogi station, so we should get off!"

Rika listened, but she didn't agree. "Do you always count on Yamaki's help?!" she snapped. "What am I supposed to do?" Takato replied back, "Guilmon's not here!" "You were always a punkass bastard since the first day, wasn't you?" Then Rika walked away saying, "I rather do this by myself, than accept any help from you!"

"What's wrong with her, Renamon?" Takato asked, "She looks pretty upset with me!" "She's not angry with you, Takato!" Renamon replied, "She just has a lot on her mind right now!"

------------------------------------

Later Kazu, Kenta, Henry were all on the car as Guardromon fired his jets. Guilmon stayed behind & started digging a hole. "Don't worry, Takato!" he said, "I'm on my way!"

------------------------------------

Back on the train, Rika made it back to the Engine Room & grabbed a wrench. "Alright, you overgrown machine!" she said, "Time for me to put your lights out!" But before she could attack, something came out & attacked her.

Meanwhile....... The Train Supervisor, called from one of the construction workers, reported this to Yamaki, "They need a little more time at Yoyogi Station!" Then Yamaki contacted Takato & said, "You need to get off the train before it's too late!"

"We're just fine right now! There's nothing you need to worry!" replied Takato as Rika returned to the car with the wrench in her right hand, "We'll try to detach the last car. Bye!" Takato & Renamon turned around to see Rika as Takato said, "I told Yamaki that we'll disconnect the last car if we have time." Rika never listened. Maybe it was because that her eyes looked possessed by something.

"Rika? Are you okay?" asked Renamon. While Takato kept talking, Rika's mind was clouded as she slipped into a dream state...................

----Dream Sequence----

In the dream, Rika, acting normal, was walking as she heard a song. To her left, she saw a little girl with a grown-up with her. She was shocked to find out who it was.................."Dad!"

'Father, I can't believe it!' Rika thought, 'I haven't seen you since you & Mom got divorced! But this is got to be a dream! Is it.......................?

TO BE CONTINUED...........

Takato: Rika! What do you think of that chapter?

Rika: (silent)
