[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Calumon's Playtime! Rika and Renamon's Meaning of Friendship!
It was a very beautiful morning in the city of West Shinjuku and it was the beginning of another busy day. People were getting ready to fight the morning traffic, in order to get to work. The children were gathering at their usual bus stops in order to be transported to their schools.
Even the children at West Shinjuku Elementary were no different. They would have to endure another busy and boring day in school. Usually, the children would all be inside of school by the time they would be dropped off by the buses, but this time, that wasn't the case.
There was a large gathering over at the front of the school. Children and teachers were all gazing over at what seemed to be mysterious trail marks on the whole play field. It seemed as though someone was playing a very clever prank.
Takato comes walking through the entrance gate and looked over to see his classmates gaping over at the marked field. He runs over to them, more specifically, Kenta and Kazu.
"Whoa! What the heck happened here?" asked Takato.
"Man! This is some crazy freakiness, dude! You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"No, what?" the goggle boy asked Kazu.
"Aliens! Extraterrestrials even!"
"Aliens? Nah, that couldn't be right. Or could it?"
"Well, whatever it is, everybody is getting concerned," Kenta said, "But I still think this is some sort of school prank! Otherwise, who could have done this?"
"Or a digimon, even,"Takato said to himself. "I just know Guilmon wouldn't do this after I specifically told him to stay in his bunker at all times, unless I'm around. Something awfully fishy is going on here."
Kari could only look on with shock and concern, much like the rest of the crowd was. But she was also beginning to think that this was the work of a digimon, and not an alien or a prankster as some students have claimed to predict.
"I'm going to need to ask, Gatomon about this. This happened overnight, I really need to know if she was behind this. I doubt it, though. Or maybe, even, Guilmon. I'll need to ask Takato sometime later."
*************************************************************************************
Later that day, the students, in Ms. Kamiya's class, were given an assignment and started off the today by doing as they were told, with the exception of Kazu sleeping through the class.
"Takato. Can I see you outside the class?" Kari spoke up.
"Um, yes, Ms. Kamiya," replied Takato.
The goggle boy goes walking out with Kari outside of the class. Kari closes the door and then looks over to Takato with a concerned look on her face.
"Now, Takato. I wouldn't want to be the one to ask you this. But, what did Guilmon do last night? I mean, since you and him basically hang out after school everyday."
"Well, I told him to stay in his bunker home and he did as told. But, I wonder, you think that could have been a digimon that caused that huge mess in the play field?"
"I think so. Well, if Guilmon had nothing to do with it. I'm just going to have to call, Gatomon myself."
Kari pulls out her cell phone and then dials a number directly to her home. She waited for a response while kneeling against the wall with impatience. After a few moments, there was finally a reply.
"Hello, Gatomon residence. How may I help you?"
"Ah, Gatomon. Do you answer to every phone call like that?"
"Well,hey, I have to keep this residence secure when you're not around. Besides, TK was too busy working on his novel. So what's up?"
"Well, its concerning a incident that occurred in the school yard, that may have happened overnight."
"Really? What kind of an incident?"
"There may have been somebody or something that broke into the woodshed of the playground equipment and messed around with the soccer lines and creating some sort of a mess with it. I think there's a huge possibility of a digimon being behind this."
"Really? Well, now that you mention it. I did happen to see some sort of mysterious digimon one day while I was taking a cat walk."
"Yeah? What did you see?"
"I don't know what to make of it. But, it was small and it bounced around quite a bit. I couldn't even catch up to it as soon as I tried to get a better view of it. But there's a good chance that thing I saw could have been the culprit."
"I see. Huh uh. We'll investigate this later. See ya, later. Bye."
Kari hangs up her cell phone and then puts it away. She sighs and Takato speaks up.
"So, what did Gatomon have to say?"
"Well. She said that she could have seen the culprit and we'll investigate this mystery after school. But for now, lets concentrate on school. You got an assignment to finish, or else its homework."
"Oh yeah! Can't have any homework if you have an investigation to cover today," Takato said as he runs back into the classroom to begin his investigation.
"But, I wonder. What kind of a digimon will we be facing today,"Kari said to herself.
************************************************************************************
During lunchtime, Takato was still overhearing several of his classmates still discussing the 'alien' issues, which really wanted to make him roll his eyes in disbelief.
"They really think that this is the work of aliens? Give a break. But then again, they probably don't know that it was the work of a digimon. But if I told them, they probably call me the 'alien' who messed up the play field."
Just then, Takato's thoughts were cut off as a girl's voice came interrupting him. Takato turned around to see none other another one of his classmates, Jeri Katou.
"Hi, Takato. Um, are you expecting anybody to sit here?"
"Um, well. No. Nobody."
"Oh. Well, is it ok that I sit here?"
"Sure. Here's a empty seat here."
"Thanks."
Takato looks over as Jeri takes a seat next to Takato while grubbing down on some cafeteria food. Jeri notices the boy looking over at her. Takato gasped and then turns around with a slight blush on his cheeks. Jeri smiles and then speaks up.
"So, what do you think could have made the mess out in the play field?"
"Well, good question. I really don't know. I can't make any claims until I see the culprit myself. I'm just so sick of hearing all of his alien nonsense. It could have been some kind of prankster."
"Yeah. I don't believe in aliens myself. Until, of course, I see them. Then, I'll believe it."
Jeri pulls out her sock puppet and then she changes her voice, in order to let her puppet speak.
"Arf! Arf! No aliens until we seem them to believe it!"
"Right. But, I might even investigate and find out who the culprit might be."
"Really? Wow, that's great. I hope you find out who really did it."
"Uh huh."
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within Shinjuku, a young man and a blue dragon-like reptile were walking down the streets. This was none other than Veemon and Davis. People were beginning to notice Veemon. However, Davis had informed them that it was his cousin wearing a suit.
"Veemon, you're causing these people look at me and I don't want to go answer a billion questions."
"Sorry, Davis. I just didn't want to stay home with Sonja. She'll crack the whip on me."
"Don't worry about it. I had to get some fresh air anyway. I love Sonja, but she can be a bitch."
"So, you said you wanted to get me to become stronger the other day?"
"Yeah. Plus, we got a chance to scope out these Tamers. I'm still finding it hard to believe that they're selling digimon cards. That is what must give those Tamer's partners their power."
"Like that little Terriermon."
"I wonder if that boy knows about Willis."
"I doubt it."
"Ok, I've got an idea. I say we keep our eyes out and see if we find those Tamers again. Then, we'll see them battle another digimon up close."
"Digimon have been popping out of nowhere these days. Are you sure Azulongmon closed the gates?"
"He specifically told us so. I have no idea what is going on, but it's making me want to battle again. It's been such a long time."
"Whatever you want, Davis. I'm ready to get back into shape."
"Yeah and I'll regain my status as a living legend! Davis, the living legend!"
"And his partner, Veemon!"
"I'll let you have some of my spotlight, sicne I'm such a nice guy."
Just then, a blonde-haired girl in her late teens looked over at the pair. She simply rolled her eyes and shuffled what looked like a Duel Monsters deck. This girl was Mai Valentine.
"Ugh, boys."
*************************************************************************************
Later that day, a group of kids were out playing on the soccer field, after the mess was cleaned up shortly. A huge competition was taking place between two rival teams. But little did they realize that somebody lurking within the bushes would be watching the game with sheer pleasure.
The one individual who was getting excited over the fact that a soccer game was taking place was none other than Calumon. He looked on with an awe look in his eyes.
As soon as a boy made a perfect soccer goal shot, his team mates were cheering and giving him high-fives. Calumon smiled and them jumps up cheering. Then he began to visualize himself as an extreme soccer player.
"Wow! It must be really fun to get some much attention after playing such a cool game!"
The boys were now getting ready to end the game. Daylight was soon beginning to fade away to darkness. Calumon looks on to see each boy, one by one, begin to leave for their homes. Calumon could only sit there and cheer.
"Yay!!"
But there was no activity out on the soccer field and this quickly brings Calumon into boredom as all of the funs and games were over.
"Yay? Oh, this is so boring! Where are the cheering kids? I really wanted to play!"
Calumon goes flying out of the bushes and towards the soccer field. He stands right in the middle of it and sighs sadly. His huge ears shrunk down due to his depressing mood.
"Wow, if only those kids were still around. No. I can have fun my own way. All I need is that ball that they were kicking around."
Calumon goes walking towards the woodshed and noticed that there was a pad lock on the door. He tried with all of his might to pull it right off.
"Ugh. This thing won't open. That 'door earring' is pretty tough. It just needs some gentle persuasions."
With that said, Calumon picks up a heavy rock and them bashes it over the pad lock several times. After several hard hits, the pad lock comes falling off with a thud and Calumon opens the door. He awes in excitement as he gazes over at the soccer ball that was being used for the soccer game just a while ago. He kicks it out and then goes flying right after it. Calumon delivers a head butt to the ball and then starts kicking it around, mimicking what the kids were doing.
"Yay me! I'm the most clever and best digimon ever! And I'm going to have a lot of friends to play with now. If only there were more digimon around here, then I'd have tons more fun!"
As the little digimon continued playing his 'game', there was a certain someone watching from above a tree with a smirk on her face. Gatomon gazes down with her heavenly, blue eyes.
"Well. Well. Looks like the cat is in the bag. I was right. Well, you won't be celebrating too long, little one. I better tell this to Kari as soon as possible."
Gatomon jumps off the tree and then runs off towards home, where she would tell Kari about finding the actual culprit behind the whole play field disaster. It looks like Calumon is in big trouble if he doesn't find his way out of this silly predicament.
**************************************************************************************
As soon as Gatomon made it home, Kari was seen walking up towards the front door of her apartment. But just as she was about to turn the doorknob, Gatomon stops right in front of her with her arms extended out to prevent Kari from walking in.
"Gatomon! What a surprise to see you? Where have you been, anyways?"
"Kari. Hear me out. I've found the culprit. You want to see for yourself, then you'll come to the school with me, tomorrow morning."
"Hmmm. Well, it is Saturday tomorrow. But, al right! Just because it's the weekend and I have nothing else to do," Kari replied.
"Good. You could call Takato to come with us. I'm willing to bet that he's curious about the culprit too," Gatomon said.
"Finally, now we can get this little problem out of the way. I wonder who the culprit really is. I just hope we don't have to fight, whatever it is," Kari thought to herself.
***************************************************************************************
Dwelling at his den, Davis was taking it easy after a long day from running errands. He laid on the couch and grabbed the remote.
"I wonder what's on the tube? It's Monday."
"Hey, Davis! Turn on some wrestling!"
"Is WWE even on Mondays anymore?"
"Just because the good ol' stars are gone doesn't mean that it's not good anymore!"
"I know, but does our cable carry it anymore?"
"Check and see. I'm bored and want some entertainment."
Davis flipped the switch and quickly it was on a porn channel. Davis and Veemon's eyes widened at the sight of several girls stripping nude. Sonja came walking by and turned to face the television.
"Davis. I thought I told you not to watch that crap."
"But it was left on this channel. Don't tell me you were watching this?"
"Please. Unlike those brainless sluts, I think with my head and not my boobs. I'm a woman with good taste."
"Alright. I'll change it, but don't you go leaving it on this channel, so that you can bitch at me later on."
"Whatever."
Davis flips the channel and comes across a channel featuring one of Japan's greatest old school animes, Dragonball Z.
"Wow! They brought back my old childhood television show!"
"I remember this! Isn't this with that guy who turns his hair gold?"
"Goku? Yeah, this is it. Let's watch for old times sake!"
"But I wonder what happened to wrestling."
"I found out that Japan cut off WWE shows," Sonja replied
The duo cried out in horror. They couldn't resist Monday nights without wrestling.
"Just kidding, you babies. The show was moved to an hour later."
"Whew. Thank god. A Monday night without wrestling would suck," Davis replied.
"No kidding, or else its down to just Monday Night Football. We'll have to listen to John Madden and his commentary."
Sonja sighs in disbelief and walks away to settle in for the night.
***************************************************************************************
Just down the street from where Davis lives, a group of thieves were running across the streets. They hopped into their Mercedes and went to start their car.
"Damn! Our car isn't starting!" one of the crooks cried out.
"You sure somebody didn't cut the wire?" another one asked.
"Nope. That was I," an insect-like voice replied.
The thieves turned around to find a near eight-foot tall green humanoid insect with clawed limbs and a pair of wings. He lifted the back of the car and forced the thieves out. The thieves gathered around and placed their hands up.
"We give up! Just don't hurt us! You can even take our money! Shit, it's all yours!"
"I don't want you're stinking money," the insect replied.
"Then, what do you want?" they asked in unison.
"To put the money back."
"Ok, we'll do it."
"Now go or I'll eat you!"
The thieves screeched in fear. They ran off with the loot and were eventually stopped by local police officers. The thieves claimed to have seen a giant grasshopper, but the authorities claimed the thieves as nothing more than just drunks.
"Stingmon. You really shouldn't have gone and let yourself get noticed," a young man's voice said.
"Sorry about that, Ken. I just had to clean up these streets. There's too much filth."
"I know what you mean, but let's not turn this into another episode of COPS."
"Heh, I know what you mean. On the other hand, we better keep our eyes open for any invading digimon."
"I thought Azulongmon closed the gates. Something obviously wrong is going on around here."
"I'll just have some fun with these crooks. It's a good little warmup. Life has just been too boring without any action."
"I wonder how Kari is handling those Tamers. I hear that they're digimon have gotten stronger. This is something I have to see for myself."
**************************************************************************************
The next morning, Takato and Guilmon were walking over towards the school, which was barren since no kids go over on the weekend, except to play in on the soccer field or the playground.
"Here we are. This is my school, Guilmon," Takato said.
"This is your school? Wow! And there's a playground! Oh, are we here to play?"
"No. We're here just to take a look around and investigate. That's why we are here for."
"Aw, but I really wanted to play."
"We can do that later. We'll have a little game of hide and seek in the park. But this is very important," replied Takato.
"Ok, Takatomon."
They walked on over towards the school and Takato gazed over at what he couldn't believe from his very own eyes. Guilmon looks on and sees a very messy play field with tons of marking lines being drawn all over the field and several holes being dug up.
"Whoa! The principal sure isn't going to like at what he's going to see by the time Monday morning hits! Man, this is a mess!"
"This is what you were talking about, Takatomon?"
"Yeah and this is getting very serious."
"So, looks like I won't be investigating this alone," a voice called out.
Takato and Guilmon turn around to see none other than Kari and Gatomon looking over at them.
"Ms. Kami-er, Kari! What a surprise to see you here!" said Takato.
"Don't be surprised. I'm just as concerned as you are. Now shall we begin?" Kari asked.
Takato responds with a nod while Guilmon began to sniff the ground, in order to smell the footings of the culprit like a dog. Gatomon went ahead and began looking around through the bushes. Kari looked over at the holes on the ground and examined them a little closer. She came to the conclusion that they were dug up by somebody or something, more likely a digimon.
Takato walks over towards one of the crawling tunnels over in the playground while Guilmon crawled right through inside and sniffed out. Just then, Guilmon came to a complete stop and looked over towards the end of the tunnel to see a white creature with a red triangular diamond on his head and purple markings on parts of his body.
"Takatomon! I found something and my nose is pointing out to who I think is the culprit."
"I'll be right there, Guilmon! Kari! Gatomon! We found the culprit! Over at the crawling tunnel in the playground!"
Kari and Gatomon both ran over towards the playground and stopped right where Takato was pointing out towards the tunnel. Gatomon goes crawling right through and meets up with Guilmon halfway. They both crawl over and spotted the culprit, the digimon known as Calumon.
"Hey! That's him! That's the one," said Gatomon, "He's the culprit that we were looking for."
"But he's so tiny. There's no real reason for us to fight him," said Guilmon.
"That's the one? But he looks so innocent and cute," Kari said, "Maybe we can question him and he'll fill us in on what has been going on around here."
"Hey, little guy. Hey, can you hear us? Hello?"
Just as soon as Takato said that, Calumon overhead many voices all around him and fluttered his eyes open. He looks up right at Kari and Takato.
"Hi, there," said Kari.
Calumon jumps back, as a huge smile forms across his face and his ears fluttered open in sheer excitement.
"Hello! Culu! Culu!"
"Hi there. So were you the one who was making the mess around here," asked Takato.
"Mess? Gee, I never thought of it that way. I was just out trying to have fun and looking for somebody to play with. Maybe you guys can play with me," said Calumon.
"Well. We were just wondering who could have made this mess and now we know. We just thought that we would have been dealing with a dangerous digimon. But its a relief to know that you're the culprit," said Takato.
"Yeah, really. You want to play with us," asked Guilmon, "How about we go to the park and play?"
"Hmmm. Sounds like a great idea! I'll do anything to have some fun," exclaimed Calumon, "Lets go!"
Kari and Takato looked over towards each other with sweat drops coming down their faces. They couldn't believe that the real culprit behind the whole playground mess was a small, digimon who was out looking for fun. But they were relieved that they wouldn't have to be facing a large and nasty digimon who was hell bent on destruction. They managed to get themselves a break this time around.
***************************************************************************************
Later that afternoon, Guilmon and Calumon were playing with one another in Guilmon's bunker, while Takato and Henry were talking to one another about the whole incident.
"So, the culprit was this little guy, the whole time," asked Henry.
Takato replied with a nod and then looks over at Guilmon, who was tickling Calumon by simply sniffing him. Calumon was giggling like there was no tomorrow.
"Believe me. I was shocked to when I found out this little guy was behind it all," said Takato, "And now, the school has got to deal with another cleanup on their hands once Monday morning comes."
"I know what you mean," replied Henry.
"Well. You can just say that aliens were behind the whole scheme," said Terriermon, "Just have the little guy dress up as a UFO and let the cops sort him out."
"Terriermon, thats not going to help any," Henry snapped.
"What? It was just a suggestion. At least, its better than my idea to strap him onto a rocket and blast him into orbit."
"That will be enough out of you," said Henry, "Anyway, I would just keep him here with Guilmon. Besides, he doesn't look like he's got a Tamer."
"You think? I mean, who would really want to be his Tamer? He seems to be a free and independent digimon if you ask me," said Takato.
"Well, the more free they are, the more crazier they get. It must suck to be him."
"You think we should find the little guy a partner," asked Takato.
"Hmmm. Maybe, but who would be a good Tamer for… by the way, does he even have a name?"
"He told me that his name is Calumon," replied Takato.
"Do you know anybody from your class that would be a good enough Tamer for Calumon?"
"Hmm. Well there's Kazu."
"Is he into digimon?"
"You kidding me? He thrives on the card games alone! We practically compete against one another and he's pretty much obsessed in it. He's a pretty demanding guy. He also occasionally plays the Duel Monsters game. He tried entering it, but lost to some guy named Rex Raptor."
"Well, then. Lets go take a look and decide for ourselves."
Calumon looks up at the two boys and begins to wonder what they were talking. He was a little too naive to understand and just simply wanted to play, nothing else matters.
"I wonder why they are so serious all of a sudden. But they need to lighten up. At least Guilmon knows how to have fun."
Guilmon picks up Calumon and then places him on top of his head. Calumon looks right down at the red dinosaur-like digimon with a smile on his face. Then, they looked over to see the two boys walking out to search for a new Tamer for Calumon.
**************************************************************************************
Takato and Henry looked over towards the school playground to see Kazu playing a digimon card game against Kenta and another boy about their same age. Henry takes a close look over at Kazu as he began to think.
"So, what do you think? You think Kazu would make the perfect Tamer?"
"Well, he does look demanding."
"True. Kazu is pretty much hungry on power and I don't think Calumon would like that too much."
Takato begins to visualize at how Kazu would treat Calumon as his Tamer. What he could visualize is a huge boxing ring with Calumon in one corner, with Kazu as his Tamer manager. And on the other corner, he could see Guilmon with boxing gloves.
"Kazu and Calumon? No way. I just don't see that happening,"Takato said to himself.
"So, what do you think, Takato?" asked Henry.
Takato lowers his head and then nods in disapproval. Henry shrugs his shoulders and the two boys move on. Takato then had another idea up his mind and decided to share Henry with.
"I know. Maybe he can be the partner of a girl I know from class."
"Oh, really? Who?"
"Jeri. You think she would be good enough?"
"Hmmm. I guess, I haven't met her before, so I wouldn't know."
Takato begins to visualize on how Jeri would react if Calumon came up to her. He smirked at that very thought but then would easily see that Jeri would have screamed at the sight of Calumon and run for her life to get away from him.
"No, Jeri won't do either. This Tamer has got to be special. This Tamer really has to know how to take care of a digimon with proper care. I doubt Jeri would want anything to do with him."
"So, what's your answer, Takato?"
The goggle boy sighs and then nods in disapproval once again. Henry nodded and then looks out towards the crowd out on the streets.
"So, who else do you think could be a good enough Tamer for the little guy," asked Henry.
"I'm not sure, Henry. This is going to be pretty tricky. I've never been in such a situation as such as this. Its pretty tough to decide."
"Well, we better decide soon if we want to look for the best Tamer for Calumon. So Kazu is out of the question. The same goes for Jeri. Well how about my little sister, Suzie?"
"Your little sister? You think she would be responsible enough for him?"
Henry began to visualize Calumon with Suzie as his partner. He imagined poor little Calumon getting the 'Miss Pretty Pants' treatment by Suzie. His eyes widen in shock and then he sighs.
"No way! Poor Calumon won't survive a day with my little sister. Once she puts the 'Miss Pretty Pants' treatment on him, its all over."
"So, is that a yes, Henry?"
Henry lowers his head with a smile and then nods with disapproval. Takato sighs and then begins to look out towards the skies as he was thinking to himself.
"This is tougher than we thought. I guess Calumon is partner less for a while. You think its better that way for him?"
"I guess so. I don't think he even wants a partner if the only thing he desires is playtime."
"Right. So, I guess we should be heading out towards the park. I wan to go check on those two. They better not have gotten themselves into trouble."
"Well, Guilmon could have broken out to get some bread. No matter how many times you tell him, he's still not going to listen," remarked Terriermon, "Plus Calumon would rather break out to have fun rather to remain cooped up inside a bunker with a bread-munching dinosaur."
"Ok. We got your point. Lets go," said Henry.
The two boys headed out towards the park, where they could go check up upon both Guilmon and Calumon. Now daylight was beginning to fade away and dusk was soon going to arrive in a short while.
As soon as the boys passed by, a pair of eyes opened within some bushes. Davis pops his head through and pulls himself through.
"Let's go, Veemon. We've finally caught on to them. I'm not missing this for the world."
"Hang on, Davis. You think you could lend a hand here?"
*************************************************************************************
Back at the bunker, Guilmon and Calumon were both bored out of their minds, more specifically, Calumon. He just couldn't stand sitting around and not doing a single thing that he would consider fun. He looks right up at the red dinosaur with his huge eyes.
"Guilmon, do we really have to sit here all day? This is not what I call fun. This is boring!"
"I know. I know. But we have to do what Takato says. We can't leave here until he comes back. Plus, he would be very mad if he were to find out that we snuck out of here without his permission."
"But, he would be even more mad if he find out that you weren't having fun once and while. What do you think?"
"Hmm. Well, I never thought about it that way. Hmm. Well…"
Calumon sat there looking up at Guilmon with innocence in his rather large, oval eyes. Guilmon sat there and was thinking of reconsidering. Calumon simply stares at him with an awe look on his face.
"Hmm. Well. I guess it wouldn't hurt if we were to have a little fun."
"Mmhmm! Just follow me! I know the perfect place to play!"
"Ok!"
Guilmon breaks open the gate door and walks right out of the bunker. Calumon goes flying off right after Guilmon as they headed off towards the play field at the school. Meanwhile, Gatomon was looking right down at them from a tree above. She had a sly look on her face.
"Hmmm. I wonder what those two are up to."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Takato and Henry were heading back towards the park with Takato carrying a plastic bag full of bread that he decided to bring along to give to Guilmon and Calumon.
"This is hopeless. Just how are we going to find Calumon a partner," said Takato.
"Maybe he just isn't destined to have one at this very moment."
"Well, maybe Guilmon can do us all a favor and eat him up. That will make it all easier," remarked Terriermon.
"Terriermon!" Henry snapped.
"What?! It was just a idea."
*************************************************************************************
Guilmon and Calumon were now in the park as they walked over towards the woodshed full of the soccer equipment. But as soon as they got there, there were now two pad locks, which made it a lot more difficult for the digimon to break open.
"Aw, no! Now there are two door earrings. We can't break it open."
Guilmon then begins to dig a huge hole in the ground and Calumon looks over at the hole that Guilmon created. The red dinosaur was able to also dig a tunnel under the ground, which would lead them through into the bottom of the woodshed. Guilmon pops his head out and looks over at Calumon.
"I just dug a hole. Now we can get in the easy way. Follow me."
"Culu! Culu!"
Calumon jumps down into the pit and catches the soccer ball that Guilmon tosses him. Calumon goes flying out with the soccer ball in the graps of his little hands.
Calumon kicks the ball right over to Guilmon, which the red dinosaur was able to head butt the ball. He sends it back to Calumon. The ball flew so fast that it knocked Calumon a few yards away. Guilmon goes running over towards Calumon with concern on his face.
"Are you okay, Calumon?"
"Just fine! I've been rough housed like this before. Don't worry about me."
With that said, Calumon kicks the ball right back to Guilmon, who was now able to send it right back to Calumon with the force of his tail.
"Yay! Now this is what I call fun," exclaimed Calumon.
**************************************************************************************
As soon as the boys rushed over towards the bunker, Takato gasped. He did not find anyone inside the bunker. Not even a trace of bread anywhere. There was no Calumon or Guilmon, which made him worried as ever.
"Henry! They're gone! And I specifically told them not to leave this spot," Takato exclaimed, "I told them like 16 billion times not to leave!"
"Well, no matter how much you tell them, they aren't going to listen," replied Terriermon.
"We got to find them! They could be lost somewhere! Oh man! Oh man!"
"Chill out," said Henry, "We're just going to have to remain calm and think of once place of where they could be found."
Just then, a heavy fog was starting to form from the location of the school itself. The boys looked over and then nodded to each other. They both headed out towards the school, where they could find out what was going on. Maybe, they will find Guilmon and Calumon over there.
Davis looked over at the heavy fog covering the school area. He looked over to Veemon and nodded his head.
"Let's move, Veemon."
"Right!"
**************************************************************************************
Guilmon and Calumon both gazed at the huge fog that was forming. Suddenly, two small figures started to came from within the fog.
"What are those?" asked Guilmon.
"You asking me?! I don't like the looks of this," said Calumon.
"Ha! I knew I would find you two here," shouted a voice.
The two digimon turned to see Gatomon right behind them. Gatomon gasps as she watches two figures jumping out from the fog with sadistic looks on their faces.
"Ack! Stand back, guys," exclaimed Gatomon, "We got trouble!"
[Prodigy "Mindfields" plays from the Matrix movie soundtrack]
Gatomon and Guilmon stood right in front of Calumon, while shielding him from the two invading Wild Ones that have now bio-emerged. The two figures turned out to be none other than Vilemon. They gazed right over to the three digimon with demonic, crimson eyes.
"Beware our wrath! We are Vilemon! You wish to fight us here and now?! Lets begin," exclaimed one Vilemon.
"But we're no pushovers! C'mon, give us you're best shot," the others shouted.
"Ready to tangle with these morons?" Gatomon asked Guilmon.
"Ready! Steady! Go!"
Guilmon goes charging at one Vilemon with rapid speed and delivers a head butt to him. Gatomon goes flying up and catches the other Vilemon off guard.
"Guilmon! Calumon," a voice called out.
Guilmon quickly responds and then looks over to see Takato and Henry running by.
"Takatomon! Thank goodness, you came! Gatomon and I are handling these Vilemon! Protect Calumon!"
"Alright!"
Takato picks up Calumon while Henry pulls out his D-Ark and then a hologram image of Vilemon shows up with information about him.
[Vilemon. Champion Level. Special Attacks: Nightmare Shocker]
"They're champion level, Terriermon. Try and lend them a hand," said Henry.
"I got it covered," responded Terriermon.
The little floppy-eared mammal goes hopping off of Henry's head and then joins in the fray to help out his buddies, Guilmon and Gatomon.
"Terrier Tornado!"
One Vilemon goes flying back after getting hit by the impact of Terriermon's Terrier Tornado. Guilmon grabs up the other Vilemon and slams him down onto the ground. Gatomon phases right behind one of the Vilemon and punches him right in the back.
"Alright! They're winning!" exclaimed Takato.
"Not for long!" exclaimed a Vilemon, "Nightmare Shocker!!"
The powerful blast comes shooting out of Vilemon's mouth and blasting at the ground around the three digimon. The other Vilemon fires his own Nightmare Shocker. This was strong enough to send all three digimon flying back.
"Ugh, without Kari around, I can't even evolve into Angewomon," muttered Gatomon.
"Oh no! They're not looking so good," exclaimed Henry, "Its time to use some Slash cards! Hang in there, Terriermon!"
"Yeah, just before I get my butt kicked!"
"Time to end this! Nightmare-"
"Fire Rocket!"
Suddenly, a pair of fire blasts came shooting down from the skies. The Vilemon pair were startled by the event and jumped away. Takato and the crew turned to find Davis walking out through the fog.
["Run Around" plays]
"So, you're the Tamers?" he asked.
"Who's this guy? He looks a bit older to be a Tamer," Takato said.
"Davis! So you and Flamedramon must have noticed the heavy fogs lately?" Gatomon asked.
"Yeah and I'm sure no weather forecaster," Davis replied. "Show those two dog-face gremlins what you're made of, Flamedramon!"
With that said, Flamedramon came flying down through the fog. The Vilemon pair backed away.
"Whoa, this is you're partner?" Henry asked.
"Cool getup," Terriermon said. "And a nifty entrance to go along with it."
"Takato? I'm glad we have another friend on our side."
"Me, too."
"Now, give it to them, Flamedramon!" Davis cried out.
"Let's have ourselves a little barbeque, boys," Flamedramon replied. "Fire Rocket!"
The Vilemon were caught by the flames and were sent flying back. Flamedramon rushes over at them and delivers a double clothesline to them. One Vilemon jumps up and goes for another of its Nightmare Shockers. Flamedramon held his fist up and watched as the blast fizzled out.
"Barbeque them, Flamedramon!" Gatomon exclaimed.
Flamedramon flies up and twirls around. The Vilemon were unprepared for what was about to happen next. The armored warrior shoots down a fiery rain of blasts to immobilize the tiny devils.
"Al right! Time to end this!" Davis exclaimed.
"Right! Fire-"
["Run Around" ends]
Just then the Vilemon pair and Flamedramon were cut off short by the call of a voice.
"Yeah right! You two are too tiny to bother with! But a fights a fight!"
The boys looked over to see Rika standing behind the virus digimon pair with Renamon at her side.
"Hey! Who the heck is that?" Davis asked.
"Renamon! Take them down!"
"What do you say, brother?" asked a Vilemon.
"Well. I really hate to beat up on a girl but if it's a fight you want! You shall get!" the other one exclaimed.
The two Vilemon go charging right at Rika as they sharpened their claws. Rika quickly pulls out a card from her back pocket and then slashes it right through her D-Ark.
"Card Slash!! Clone card activate!!"
"Nightmare Shocker!!"
"Whoa! She's a Tamer, too?!" Davis exclaimed.
"Let's see what this vixen is made of," Flamedramon thought.
But just as soon as the two blasts nailed Renamon, she was able to vanish out from the speed of light and a moderate explosion occurred with a huge fog cloud forming. The Vilemon flew down onto the ground with satisfied looks on their faces.
"Ha! We got ya!"
"Right on, dark brother!"
"Ha, the only thing you two got is the case of the ugliness. Look behind you."
The Vilemon turned around to see none other than Renamon with her arms stretched out and a barrage of diamond-spikes shooting down at them like missiles.
"Diamond Storm!!"
But the Vilemon were unable to escape the barrage. The diamond shards stabbed them and their bodies quickly dispersed into streams of data. Renamon takes the opportunity and absorbs the data. The problem was solved and the Vilemon were no more. Another battle won by the Digimon Queen.
"Unreal! I can't believe this!" Davis said.
"Even I couldn't have done that," Flamedramon replied. "That card helped her avoid the attack."
"She didn't even think twice of absorbing them," Takato said to himself.
Rika turns around to face the other Tamers and their digimon with a cold look on her face as if she were already satisfied.
"Don't even bother with any thanks. I only did it for the data. By the way, you and that Flamedramon need to finish off you're opponents quicker."
"Hey! Don't tell my digimon how to fight you're dirty style!"
"Data?! You call them data?" asked Takato with a voice full of intensity.
"What?"
"Digimon are living creatures! And you kill them! Why?! You kill living creatures," exclaimed Takato.
"He's right! They are alive," replied Henry.
"What's with this little snob?" Davis thought.
Just as Rika was about to lower her head and think about reconsidering her actions, she nods her head and looks right back at them.
"No. Digimon are nothing more than data. Renamon! Lets go."
"Why I oughta!" Flamedramon growled.
"Hold it, Flamedramon! You might miss and accidentally hit the girl."
"I'm such a hot head, sorry."
But just as Rika was about to walk away, she turns to see Calumon standing right in front of her with a cheerful look on his face. She gasps and then steps back.
"Culu! Culu! You wanna play?"
"Hey! Don't you even think about touching him!" exclaimed Gatomon.
Rika stands there with an angry look and then starts to walk right past Calumon with Renamon following hat her side.
"Man, she's got some issues," said Takato.
"I'll say," replied Henry.
"Remind me to tell Sonja how much I love her, Flamedramon."
"This little bitch is worse than you're wife. She ordered her partner to kill those tiny little runts."
"Ha! Finally! I get have a little more fun!"
With that being said, Calumon begins hopping away cheerfully. Takato goes to stop him but decides that it was best not to even try.
"But its too dangerous to be out there all alone," shouted Takato.
"But it's even more dangerous than to stand around here and hang out with you! Goodbye, Guilmon! Till we meet again! Culu," replied Calumon.
The Tamers and the digimon all look out to watch Calumon hopping away into the darkness of the city knowing that there was no sense in stopping him. But they wonder if they will ever see him again.
"I just hope Calumon is going to be alright," said Takato.
"He's a strange little digimon. I've never seen anything like him," Gatomon said.
"I don't even think that he even wants a Tamer," said Henry.
"Feh. I wonder how long that Tamer would survive," remarked Terriermon, "I feel sorry for whoever will become his partner."
"Another night foiled again," Davis said, "It's back to the drawing board for us, buddy."
"No kidding. Next time, that fox is mine."
"I just hope he survives out there. It's not even safe to be out there during nightfall. Oh well, if he can manage to survive, then I shouldn't worry. But, what's the deal with Rika? Why does she crave on killing digimon and what gives her any right to call them just data?" Takato thought.
***************************************************************************************
Deep within the city of West Shinjuku, the streets and traffic have been just as busy as ever. Not a single sign of another bio-emergence from another digimon, which made work a little easier for the Hypnos crew.
However, there was one person who wasn't pleased with the number of bio-emergences depleting. And that would be none other than Rika Nonaka. Rika is listening to her headphones and she was beginning about what had just happened the other day.
"Ugh. My mom is so pathetic. Why did she even bother leaving during the middle of my class? Whatever, like I care what she does for a living."
Flashback
Several weeks ago, Rika was sitting down on her study table while shuffling through her old digimon cards. Just then, Mrs. Nonaka comes walking in to check up upon her daughter.
"Hey there. I see your playing a card game."
"Yeah."
"I see you're into tarot cards and want to perhaps be a fortune teller. Am I right?"
"Ugh..."
"Well, whatever it maybe, you look interested in it. I don't much time with silly ol' card games anyway. I got a whole world to explore with my glamorous beauty. A model such as myself needs the expose herself to the entire world and not be afraid to expose themselves."
Rika simply sits there with a smug look on her face while rolling her eyes in disbelief at how her own mother could care for her fashion shoots and not give a damn about what she likes to do for a living and that's to become a digimon tamer.
End of Flashback
"How would she know? She wouldn't even give a damn on what I like to do? A stupid card game, she says? Taming digimon is much more respectable than modeling. Besides, I'm really good at it."
Just then, a beam comes shooting from the skies above and down onto the surface from a very far off distance. Rika looks out towards it as the reflection of the beam comes glowing in her violet eyes. A sly smile forms across her face, since she would now finally get the chance to defeat another digimon.
"Well. Time for me to go to work."
With that said, Rika goes running out towards the location of the digimon. She pulls out her D-Ark and picks up the exact location of the digimon that she was going to find.
"Renamon!"
Just then, the yellow-coated fox appears from out of nowhere and is seen hopping onto rooftops while following her partner along the way.
"We got another digimon to take out. You up for a fight?"
"Always. You lead the way."
"I will."
Around the corner, a red-haired teen was walking by carrying a bookcase. He noticed Renamon's movements and it quickly reminded of himself before entering his human body.
"Brings back memories," the teen replied.
"Kurama," a deep voice called out.
Kurama looked up to find a short human with tall, bushy hair and a dark cloak. The mysterious fellow wore a white cloth around his forehead.
"Hiei."
"It looks like Koemna wants us to help Yusuke and the big buffoon."
"I wonder what's going on."
"I'll be heading off. You'll be able to track them down."
"Of course."
With that said, Hiei instantly vanished faster than Renamon could ever hope to achieve. Kurama follows his instincts to begin his search for Urameshi and Kuwabara.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Terriermon and Guilmon were playing with one another while Takato and Henry were just picking up the location of a bio-emerging digimon through their D-Arks. The boys looked over to each other and to then to their digimon.
"Guilmon. Playtime is over. We got another digimon on the loose."
"Terriermon."
The two digimon stopped their tug of war game and looked over towards their tamers with intensified looks. Guilmon and Terriermon go storming off over towards the scene of the battle. The boys went along and followed their digimon over.
"What kind of a digimon do you think it's going to be, Henry?"
"We won't know until we find out. And we better not waste any time."
"Right!"
************************************************************************************
Back at the scene of the battle, Rika stops at the location while removing her shades since the fog was dispersing. She peered over towards Renamon and then over to her opponent, who was a large, dinosaur-like monster that had blue skin with red stripes, plus a pair of feathers on his head.
"Lets take a look at what my digivice says about this guy. He looks like a decent challenge."
[Allomon. Armored Level. Special Attack: Dino Burst]
"Renamon. This should be a decent warm up. Take him down."
[Drowning Pool "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" plays w/o the lyrics]
"As you wish!"
As soon as she said that, Renamon quickly flies right up at Allomon and delivers a devastating kick to his face. Allomon staggers a bit but then retaliates with a quick swipe of his tail, which sends Renamon flying back into a wall.
"Ugh! C'mon, Renamon! You're not going to let me down! This isn't some stupid game!"
"But he's much too strong, Rika…"
Allomon goes charging right at Renamon and then swipes her away again with his long tail. Renamon goes crashing back right through a nearby wall.
Rika pulls out a card from her back pocket and then swipes it through her digivice.
"Card Slash! Yuki Agumon's Frozen Wind!"
Renamon felt herself getting stronger from the card swipe and then begins to form a ball of ice in her hands. She then cups her hands together and shoots right for Allomon.
"How about a nice cold breeze, toasty?! Frozen Wind!!"
"Dino Burst!!"
Allomon goes and shoots out a stream of fire over at Renamon's ice beam, with both attacks pushing against one another. Allomon was slowly gaining a stronghold over Renamon with his flame attack. Rika had an agitated look on her face. She was angry over the fact that Renamon was struggling against an armor-type.
"C'mon, Renamon! Stop toying with him! You're much better than he is!"
"But he's stronger than I thought! His heat is overpowering my ice beam."
Allomon takes advantage and then nails Renamon with his tail, which sends the neon-colored fox flying towards a street post. Renamon looked to be down and out, while Rika could only look on with an angry look on her face. She clenches her fists.
"Get up! If you could digivolve, you could win!"
But just then, a red fireball comes shooting out of nowhere and then nails Allomon right in the face, just before he could make his move onto Renamon. And then a Terrier Tornado sends the fire-breathing monster down to the ground.
Rika turned around to see none other than Henry and Takato with an irritated look on her face.
["Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" ends]
"Rika! Are you two alright?" asked Takato.
"We knew it had to be you," said Henry.
"Why don't you two mind your own business! Why don't you go play somewhere else?!"
"Well, you don't have to sound so nasty and are you always making your digimon fight," asked Henry.
"You know. You're starting to sound like a broken record," replied Rika.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
Rika then pulls out another card from her back pocket and then swipes it right through her digivice.
"Card Slash!! Hyper Chip!!"
Renamon goes walking right past both Guilmon and Terriermon without even bother to look over towards them. She now has her focus upon Allomon.
"You two shouldn't be here. Leave this battle with me. So I suggest you two stay out of this."
Renamon goes right over towards Allomon and then proceeds to fight him once again, but this time feeling much powerful than ever before.
"Why don't we finish this?"
"Dino Burst!!"
"Ha. Frozen Wind!!"
With that said, both attacks collided with one another. But this time around, Renamon's frozen wind was quickly able to overpower Allomon's attack. Allomon watched as his body started to turn into a giant ice cube. Renamon finishes her job and then goes jumping right into the air with her arms crossed. She then stretches them out and unleashes a barrage of diamond spikes over at the frozen monster.
"Diamond Storm!!"
The incoming barrage was able to cut right through the ice and stab onto Allomon, which quickly started to kill him and turn his body into fragments of data. Renamon takes the chance and then absorbs the data for herself.
As soon as the fog cleared away, Renamon and Rika stood there ground as they looked over towards the two boys with satisfied looks on their faces.
"Renamon, lets go. We don't have time to talk to these losers."
Rika begins walking away as Renamon quickly phases out. But then Takato goes running up to her and calls her out.
"Hey! We need to talk!"
"Ok, sure. I have something to say. Don't ever get in my way, little boy. Renamon and I work alone."
"So, does that constitute as a conversation?" Takato asked.
Rika continues walking off towards her home, while the two boys could only look on with disappointed looks on their faces.
"Gee. I guess not," Henry replied.
Just then, somebody came walking out from the shadows and looks right down at the three children with a smirk on his face. The creature was dark purple with a cute white face with large green eyes and his sly smile made up his sinister, devious-looking face. He also wore a red bandana. He began to speak.
"Hmph. What a pathetic gathering of fools. No self-respecting digimon would ever be a slave to a human. If they don't cut this crap, it looks like I'll just have to change their minds. Ha, Impmon's brilliant schemes are underway."
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, there was a purple-haired young woman pushing along a baby stroller. The baby inside had dark violent strands. The woman cooed at the baby.
"Oh, you're such a cute little girl. Yes, you are."
"Um, Yolei. Don't you think we've been strolling around for too long? My hawks are getting cramped," a hawk-like digimon complained.
"Yeah. I think we should at least rest for a while," Yolei said.
Suddenly, Yolei's cell phone was going off. Hawkmon answered it abruptly.
"Hello? Hawkmon's Hotline Agency speaking."
"Hawkmon? When did you start your own business?" replied Veemon, through the phone.
"Just today."
"Can you put Yolei on the line? Davis needs to tell her something."
"Sure, hold on just one moment. Yolei, you've got a call."
"Who is it?"
"Veemon, but he said Davis has to tell you something."
"Oh boy. Did Davis get bitched at again?"
Yolei takes the phone and answers it.
"Hello?"
"Yolei! What's up? I've just got back from one hell of an experience! There's these Tamers-"
"I know. Kari and Gatomon told me everything. I even heard about that Rika girl. Just what the hell is her deal with digimon? Just data, my ass."
"You're telling me? That girl is too hardcore!"
"You should be talking with a wife almost exactly hardcore."
"I don't know what I'm about to do, but we better keep our guard up. This girl means business. Watch Hawkmon at all times, please."
"Will do. Tell Sonja that I said hi. Buh, bye."
Yolei hung up her phone and turned to find Hawkmon holding up several Duel Monster cards.
"Hey, where did you get those?"
"I picked them up from the ground. These must be those Duel Monster cards."
"You're right. You sure you didn't go pit pocking for them?"
"No, I swear. Wow, this one reads the Red-Eyes Black Dragon."
"Hey! Give me back those cards, you goofy-looking bird!"
Hawkmon flew off as a blonde-haired teen with a green jacket started chasing after him.
"Give me back those cards!"
"Oh, Hawkmon. I'm so ashamed of you," Yolei thought as a sweat drop came down her forehead.
**************************************************************************************
[Ruki's theme "Moon Fighter" plays w/o lyrics]
Rika looks out towards the moonlight and then down at her digivice. She turns around and begins to think to herself.
"Are you trying to make me look bad? Just what was the deal? There's no excuse to struggle against an armored digimon. It makes no sense. You loaded the data off of many digimon and yet, you are unable to digivolve."
She clenches her digivice and then sits right up. Even the beauty of the moonlight wasn't enough to please Rika, since she always had the burning desire to win. All she ever wants to do is succeed and win. She hates being a failure and will do anything to prevent herself from becoming that.
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Renamon was sitting on a rooftop while gazing up at the full moon while her metallic, blue eyes glowed along with the moonlight itself. She looks down and begins thinking of Rika.
"Be patient, Rika. I will digivolve. Just you wait and see. I promise I won't ever fail you again. "
Renamon then begins to meditate for a moment while relaxing her body and releasing some of her excessive energy that she felt was not needed for her body.
"It only depends on you when I have to digivolve. After I load the data of one digimon, I feel myself getting stronger, but is that really how I should digivolve?"
Renamon jumps alert and looks over to see a small, dark little digimon with a red banadana around his neck.
"Aww, well. Isn't that sweet? Hey there, tootsie? You got a problem with digivolving? You don't look too happy, but then again, you wouldn't be if you were to answer to some snot-nosed kid and be treated like a digi-poodle. Am I right?"
***************************************************************************************
Rika quickly jumps alert once her digivice went off once again. She picks it up and begins to pick up a reading from a nearby digimon.
"I'm picking up the location of another digimon. Renamon, you better be there."
A hologram image begins to appear from her digivive, which displated Impmon's information.
[Impmon. Rookie Level. Virus Type. Special Attack: Bada-Boom!]
"Impmon? Looks like we got a new player for the game!"
***************************************************************************************
"Look! Who ever you are, Rika is my partner and that doesn't change anything. I'm not a slave."
"Well, it looks like your partner isn't doing much of a good job from my point of view. Take it from me, that human doesn't believe that you can do things on your own free time and that's the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. You digi-pets are all the same. Deep down inside you want to be just like me. But then again, who wouldn't want to be me? I love me."
Renamon sits there not even responding. This only made the devious mini devil to respond with his usual Brooklyn-accent.
"Um hello? Are you deaf or something? Ok let me cut to the chase. You look sad and you know what that makes me, huh? Angry, that's what! And anger is not good for me. Take it from me, there's a whole world out there to explore and you're here in denial. You hear me? You're in denial, lady!"
"Are you done blabbering? Well, then if that's your best advice, you need to come up with a new writer."
With that being said, Renamon jumps right off and lands onto the street gracefully. Impmon looks down upon her and then a fireball forms in his hand.
"Hey! You know that was rude! So, here's just a little reminder of myself! Today's lesson is learning about tough love. Bada-Boom!"
The little demon tosses down a fireball over at Renamon, and she quickly looks over to see it explode right in her face. Renamon shields herself as Impmon looked down at her laughing.
"Hey! Take it from me! You need to quit being stupid and leave that girl immediately! Ha! Ha! Bada-Boom!"
Just then, another beam comes shooting out from the sky, which signaled that of an upcoming digimon from the other side. Renamon quickly responds and goes to head over to the scene of the battle.
"Yeah! Go ahead and run! You know I'm better than you! I'm the King of the World, baby!"
A little girl with a rod around her hand looked up at the chuckling Impmon with a surprised glare.
"What's his deal?"
"He just ripped a line off from a wrestler, Sakura" a tiny yellow mouse-like creature replied.
**************************************************************************************
Rika looks out towards the large fog and heads over towards that destined location. There, she could possibly find the next opponent and hopefully she will meet up with Renamon there.
**************************************************************************************
The Hypnos crew were picking up the location of the bio-emergence and went tot use a tracer to locate. But it was much too late. This thing was now already bio-emerged.
"We've just pin-pointed another bio-emerging location," Riley stated.
"We were unable to trace it. It's beginning to emerge," replied Talley.
"Cursed data scum. I'll rid the city of you vermin."
**************************************************************************************
Rika quickly reaches the destination and finds Renamon facing off against a large, eight-legged spider monster with a yellow helmet over its head. It gazed down upon them with its multiple, green eyes.
"Renamon!"
"Rika!"
"Yummy! How nice of you two to arrive on such short notice. I'm going to have you two as lunch," shrieked the spider.
"Eat dirt," remarked Renamon.
"Ooo. Feisty one!"
[Dokugumon. Champion Level. Special Attacks: Poison Thread and Venom Blast]
"Renamon! Step all over her!"
["Rammestein "Du Haust" plays]
Renamon leaps forward and then crosses her arms. She then stretches her arms up and unleashes a barrage of diamonds at the spider monster.
"Diamond Storm!!"
But Dokugumon quickly counters with a Poison Thread to block out the barrage, then spits out a Venom Blast to catch Renamon off guard and immobilize her. Renamon goes flying back and eventually gets caught on the web.
"Renamon! Don't give up! You can beat her!"
"Not so fast! Poison Thread!!"
Rika finds herself getting spun up into a web as Dokugumon goes charging right for her. Rika looks on with a frightened look on her face and lets out a scream of fear. Renamon quickly breaks free and flies over to protect Rika.
"Diamond Storm!!"
The barrage of diamonds eventually nails Dokugumon in the back, while catching her off guard at the same time. Dokugumon turns around and faces off against Renamon. Renamon quickly phases out and reappears next to Rika. She claws right through the web and breaks Rika free.
"Renamon, you saved my life…"
"Think again!" exclaimed Dokugumon.
Renamon goes flying right at Dokugumon to attack her but the spider turns around and shoots out a Venom Blast to send her flying back. Renamon lands on the ground with a thud and quickly was immobilized. Rika runs over towards Renamon and tries to lift her up.
["Du Haust" ends]
"Renamon! No! You protected me."
"Of course… We're partners… I'm not just a fighting tool… I was there to protect you and make sure nothing happens to you."
"Renamon? Please don't leave me."
"I'm sorry… I must go…"
With that said, Renamon loses consciousness and shuts her eyes. Rika looks on with disbelief and cries out for the first time since partnering with Renamon.
"Renamon!!"
Calumon comes walking out and the red diamond on his forehead began to glow profusely. Rika looked over at her digivice and it began to glow. Now it was time for Renamon to do what Rika had wished for her to do. Renamon quickly opens her eyes and felt her ki level increasing.
[Digimon Tamers First evolution theme "Evo" plays]
EVOLUTION!!
Rika's digivice shot out a beam of light and it was now emitting all over Renamon's body. Her body starts to grow and her outer skin started to peel away to reveal her new form, which would be her champion-leveled form.
"Renamon shinka!!"
Now Renamon was Quadra pedal. Now there was a pair of nine tails were in the place of her once, long bushy tail. She became more vulpine-like, but retained of her Renamon features. She also has a pair of rings on her back that were red and white spiral-like. She flies up and her tails start to flare up with blue fire. Finally, she calls out to her new name.
"Kyuubimon!!"
As soon as the smoke cleared away, Kyuubimon now was standing in the place of Renamon. Rika could only look in awe and shock at her newly evolved digimon. Calumon began walking away with an exhausted look on her face.
"You digivolved, Renamon…"
"Ha! That won't even matter! Time to die, fox face!"
Dokugumon goes flying right down at Kyuubimon but Kyuubimon saw her coming and then unleashes several fireballs at her web.
"Fox Tail Inferno!!"
Dokugumon falls down off of her web, since gave Kyuubimon an open opportunity to take advantage of her foe. Kyuubimon spins herself and then transforms into a flaming dragon.
"Dragon Wheel!!"
She was then able to swallow right through Dokugumon, which the spider demon was unable to withstand as her body quickly exploded into shrouds of data. Kyuubimon takes advantage and then absorbs the data for herself. As soon as that occurred, the webs and the fog quickly faded away. Rika looked on in amazement but then watches as Kyuubimon jumps right down in front of her.
"Unbelievable! But how did you digivolve?"
"It was all thanks to you. You showed that you really card for me and I did it. You see, it wasn't all about the power and absorbing the data. My evolution only depends on you, Rika."
"Oh, I get it."
From far above, Impmon looks right down at them with a disgusted look on his face.
"Yuck! I better fly before I lose my lunch!"
Impmon quickly phases out with disgust.
"Well that some was victory," said Rika.
"It's not all about winning," replied Renamon.
"But I thought winning was supposed to make you stronger."
"No. You made me stronger. You made me digivolve. You weren't afraid to show how much you really card for me, like a true friend."
Rika looks down at her feet and then looks right up at Kyuubimon with a smile on her face.
"Renamon. Do me a favor. Just don't tell anyone about this."
Is this the Rika we know?! Does Rika really have a soft side?! And just who is Impmon, anyway, and what is his vendetta against the humans?
