Newly-hired Announcer Guy: Last time on Digimon, Impmon exploded the kitchen, Rika and the others took an interest in Mikae, and Impmon's old tamers made an appearance. What will they do? Why did Mikae have that dream? And what did she think about when the 'episode' ended? Hopefully we'll all find out today, on Digimon! *aside* was that ok?
That was fine.

What Walks Through the Heart, Ch.3: A New Enemy
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Mikae sat up with a jolt, nearly screaming. Panting, she put a hand to her head and tried to remember the thought that had been so clear in the dream. It had never gone so far before, and she wanted to remember anything that would help her figure out why she was having the stupid dream.
Nothing. As usual.
Muttering about the cruelty of it all, Mikae turned over and went back to sleep. The dream did not come again that night.
******
The next day was business as usual until nightfall. Mikae and Impmon were walking home when the little Digimon froze.
"Impmon? What's wrong?" Impmon looked at her, fear and worry intertwined in his eyes.
"Go home, Mii. I'm gonna check something out." Before she could say anything, Impmon disappeared down the road. What had gotten him so scared? She'd never seen Impmon like this before.
Mikae took a step, intending to follow him when the power for the entier neighborhood went out. Biting her lip, the red head headed home. Mom would be worried.
What was goin' on?! He shouldn't be sensing a Digimon with that kind of power around here! Jeez! Glancing to the side, he saw Renamon sprinting in the same direction. "You sensin' it too?" "Yes." "Any idea what it is?" Renamon shook her head. When the two Digimon got to the area, they stood frozen in place with shock. In front of them was destruction and chaos and what had been a store. Written in the dirt was this:
GREETINGS, TAMERS WE ARE KAMIMON THE DEVAS ARE NOTHING TO US
Stunned and confused, Renamon and Impmon stared at the message for what seemed like hours, but was only two or three minutes. It was Impmon who spoke first.
"What's with this guy? This is written in third person." It was a weak attempt at humor, but a needed one. Renamon shook her head.
"I don't know, Impmon. We must tell the others." Surprisingly, Impmon didn't argue with her. She looked at him.
"You need to warn your friend about this." Impmon jumped.
"I dunno what you mean." Renamon disappeared. Off to tell Rika, no doubt. Troubled and not a little confused, Impmon headed home.
******
"And you want me to stay away from this Kamimon, right?" Impmon nodded. "Nothing doing."
"What? You gotta-" Mikae shook her head firmly.
"I'm not letting you face him without me."
"But-" Holding up her hand, the girl forstalled him.
"I may be able to help."
"How?
"Do you believe on foretelling dreams?" Impmon blinked.
"What? What does that have to do with anything?"
"I've been having a strange dream every night for the past week. In that dream, I see you, tow boys, a girl, and three, no, four other Digimon."
"Umm, was one of the other Digimon red, with black markings?" Mikae nodded.
"Yeah, and a white belly." Impmon looked amazed.
"I'm in the dream, too, Impmon. In the dream, I'm a Digimon."
"WHAT?!" Mikae went through the explanation again, this time with extreme detail. By the time Impmon had calmed down, he looked very thoughtful.
"Mii, I don't think you should tell anyone about this until the fight you saw in your dream."
"Okay, but will you introduce me to the others?" Impmon nodded.
"Today."
******
"And the message was in third person?"
"That's what Rika told me."
"Okay, we'll all meet in the park to figure this out together, 'kay?"
"Sure." Henry hung up the phone, turning to face Terriermon.
"Henry, this guy sounds dangerous."
"Yeah, I just hope we can beat him."
**At the Park**
"Is everybody here? Good, now, what do we know about this new enemy?" Rika sighed.
"You know what we know, Takato. Why are me here if we can't do anything until Kamimon attacks?"
"Rika-"
"Hey." Everyone turned to the new voice, and seeing Impmon, sighed.
"What do you want, Impmon?"
"I'm here ta help."
"You've never helped us before, why do you want to start now?" Terriermon asked.
"Because I want to help too." A girl came around from behind the tree Impmon was in.
"It's that girl!" Rika exclaimed. Mikae smiled.
"I'm surprised you remember me." Takato looked suspicious.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Mikae Takana." Now Takato was confused.
"How do you know that Digimon are real, though?" Mikae shrugged.
"One: There are Digimon right in front of me, and Two: Impmon told me."
"How do you know Impmon?" Henry asked.
"Some guy broke his leg and I took him home so my mom could set it. He's hung around ever since."
"So you're his friend?" This was Terriermon. Mikae nodded.
"Wow," He said, looking at Guilmon. "Impmon has a friend."
"Cut it out, you two." Rika spoke. "How do you think you can help us? Impmon can't digivolve, and you aren't a Tamer." Mikae shrugged. Jerri and Leomon ran up, then.
"Hi, everyone! Sorry I'm late! Who are you?" Introductions went around again, and Jerri was overjoyed with the offer of help. After the impromptu meeting ended, the brunette offered to accompany Mikae home. Mikae accepted the offer. The two girls waslked in front, and Leomon and Impmon followed them.
"So that was how you got to be friends with Impmon?" Mikae nodded.
"Yeah. How did you and Leomon meet?" Jerri launched into the story and Mikae listened attentitively, laughing in the beginning at Leomon's reluctancy. When they arrived at the red head's house, Jerri surprised her.
"Hey, this is only a few blocks away from my house!"
"Really? Cool! Hey, I've got an idea! Why don't you and Leomon spend the night at my house tomorrow?"
"Good idea! Leomon, what do you think?" When Leomon agreed, he and Jerri headed off to her house with the promise to ask her parents and be back tomorrow.
Opening the front door, Mikae called out to her mother, to see if she was home yet.
"I'm here, honey. What is it?" Going to the kitchen, where her mother's voice was, Mikae asked.
"Mom, can some friends sleep over tomorrow?"
"Who?"
"I found out that there were other kids with Digimon, and I asked one of them over."
"Is this friend a boy or a girl?"
"A girl, mom."
"How big is her Digimon?"
"He's taller than you, mom. Is that okay?" Mrs. Takana dried her hands.
"Sure, honey. I'll make lots of extra food, then. I don't want to be eaten out of house and home by two girls with a serious case of the munchies and two Digimon to boot!" She grinned at her relieved daughter.
"Thanks, mom! You're the best!"
"I know, dear. Now go wash up, it's time for dinner."
"Okay, mom!"
"Impmon," Mrs. Takana said. Impmon looked at her. "Behave."
"Feh."
**The Next Night**
Mikae and Jerri walked home from school carrying Jerri's overnight bag, giggling. Impmon had been gone all day, probably harassing some innocent people. Leomon had agreed to meet them at MIkae's house.
Mrs. Takana opened the door before they'd reached the house, and welcomed them both inside.
"You must be Jerri."
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Mikae has told me so much about you." Just then, someone knocked on the door. "Oh, my. Who could that be?" The girls had moved on to Mikae's room, and heard this from the front hall:
"Oh, my, you are tall! Well, come on in, the girls are in Mikae's room. Mikae will show you to the guest room later."
"Thank you, Mrs. Takana." Jerri smiled at Mikae.
"Looks like your mom isn't scared of Leomon." Mikae nodded.
"Mhmmm. Impmon has been around so long, and Culumon comes to play so much, that mom isn't surprised by anything anymore."
"That's good. Hello, Leomon!" The big lion Digimon ducked through the doorway. Mikae smiled up at him.
"Dinner will be in a few minutes. I'll show you your room then, okay?" Leomon nodded.
"Girls! Leomon! Dinner!" Came Mrs. Takana's voice from the kitchen.
"Told ya! Come on, mom's cooking is great!" Mikae ran down the hall, closely followed by Jerri. Leomon walked at a slightly slower pace.When they got to the kitchen, they found Impmon already there.
"Hi Impmon!" Mikae said, and sat down next to him. Impmon picked up his chopsticks as the others sat down.
"Hey Mii. Let's eat!" Smiling down at her friend, Mikae whispered to Jerri. "I bet he just got back from tormenting some high schooler." Looking at her new friend in surprise, Jerri responded.
"And you're ok with that?" Mikae shrugged.
"Sure. He usually bothers people who deserve it anyway."
"And when he bothers innocent people?"
"I can't stop him if that's what he wants to do." Mikae answered, and dug into the food.
******
At around midnight, Jerri and Mikae were lying in their sleeping bags, Mikae having chosen to sleep on the floor rather than above Jerri. It made it easier to talk to her, anyway. Both girls had fallen asleep. Leomon spoke to Impmon.
"Why do you stay here, Impmon?" Blinking his eyes blearily, Impmon woke up most of the way.
"Hm? 'Cause I like it here."
"Why is that?" Impmon looked at Mikae, marveling again how beautiful she looked when she was asleep or happy.
"Mii doesn't judge me, or try to change who I am. They accept me here, and treat me like I'm one of the family." He whispered.
"And you have never been part of a family before, have you?"
"No."
"You two care about each other very much, and have a strong friendship. I'm glad for you."
"Leomon?" That was Jerri. The two Digimon's voices had woken her up. Just then, Mikae started thrashing around in her sleeping bag. The other three gathered around her, Impmon the closest, and tried to calm her. It was to no avail. Mikae's tossing and turning got steadily worse, and she kept on whispering a name. Over and over she said it, other names being spoken only once in a while. Impmon reached out a hand and touched her forehead. Her eyes snapped open accompanied by a sharp gasp.
Breathing rapidly, the red head looked at the faces surrounding her. Cautiously, Jerri spoke.
"Are you okay, Mikae?" She nodded. "When you were asleep, you kept on whispering the name 'Nikkomon.' Why do you think-?" Mikae's eyes widened and she turned to Impmon.
"That's it! That's my name!"
"What?"
"When I have the dream, I can never remember my name. Just now when Jerri said it, I recognized it! Nikkomon is my name!" Both Jerri and Leomon were very confused at this point.
"Um, what?" Glancing at Impmon, and receiving his nod, Mikae told them about her dream, and about how she'd been having it for a week nonstop. At the end, Jerri spoke.
"We have to tell the others." She said firmly. Mikae, Impmon, and Leomon agreed with her. One of the other names Mikae had spoken had disturbed them all very much. There was no way Mikae could have known this name before today.
Kamimon.
If these truly were fortelling dreams, then they all had a lot to worry about.
