Henrika: A Tale of Two Tamers

Chapter 8



"Looks like we've got trouble Henry!"

Terriermon came running in from the side of the house to Henry. He stood by the side of his tamer. Renamon also appeared beside Rika, using her usual out-of-nowhere stealth style.

"Wow! This is incredible!" exclaimed Henry with awe. "I've never had a Digital field appear on top of me before, have you?"

"No," answered Rika. "Nothing like this has ever happened to me."

Just then, both of their digivices began beeping like crazy.

"Looks like we've got company!" Henry said.

"There's a Digimon coming right this way! Renamon, assume the position!"

Renamon stood in an attack posture; ready to take on whatever is was that was coming. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the mist.

"Tra, la, la, la, la! Tra, la, la, la, la! Hey guys, wanna play?"

"Aw, it's only Calumon. You can un-assume the position Renamon."

Renamon didn't need to be told that. After all, everyone knew Calumon wasn't a threat. Annoyingly weird maybe, but not dangerous.

"Wait a minute," pondered Henry, "if that's Calumon, then where's the Digimon that's suppose to come with this field?"

At that moment, an eerie wind started to blow. A huge footprint appeared in the ground.

"Oh no!" cried Terriermon. "He's back!"

Endigomon made himself visible. He gave Terriermon a bit of a glance, then turned towards Rika.

"Rikaaa..."

"What… what do you want with me?" asked Rika.

"Maybe he want's to play!" chimed Calumon, as the triangle on his head lit up. At that same time, Endigomon began to glow red. The glow got brighter and brighter until everyone had to shield their eyes. When the glow finally dimmed, Endigomon's whole body had changed to a different form.

"He digivolved!" exclaimed Rika. Rika reached into her card pouch and pulled out the card that Henry had returned to her before. Sure enough, it was the same Digimon.

"I am Antylamon," the new Digimon whispered. "This is a holy time." Antylamon reached over with his long and large hand and grabbed Rika.

"Rika!" cried Renamon

"Hey! Get your filthy paws off of me!" yelled Rika, trying to fight her way free. Antylamon began to disappear, taking Rika with him.

"Hold on Rika!" Renamon cried, as she followed after them, disappearing into the distortion.

"Not good, this is not good Terriermon!" said Henry.

"I guess it's up to us to follow them, huh?" Terriermon asked. The two of them ran into the distortion, disappearing.

"Wait! Come back!" whined Calumon. "Ohhhh, why doesn't anybody want to play with me?"

Calumon followed after everyone into the distortion, and also disappeared.

Not high above the Digital Field, a Hypnos helicopter was circling. Tally was at the chopper controls, while Riley and Yamaki sat in the back.

"There it is sir. The anomaly does appear to be expanding, just like you predicted."

"Then we have no time to lose," said Yamaki. "Remember: you're to hit the detonate button in one hour, even if we're not back before then."

"I understand sir. Good luck." Tally hit a button, which began to lower Yamaki, Riley, and a very large bomb down to the Digital Field.

"This is it Riley," said Yamaki, "we're going in."
