Okay, this is the third chapter with more action and romance.

So far, Ruki got sucked into the data stream, meeting up with Ryo.

The rest of the Tamers are resting, but unknown to them, something was following them.

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, and even if I did, I'd keep it all for myself!  (HA, HA, HA, HA!!!!)

Chapter 3: The Truth of the Master, Discovery of the Unknown Power, and the Return of Dobermon and Leomon

(Remember in the shows that Leomon and Dobermon died, so Alice and Juri don't have them right now)

     Hirokazu woke up in the middle of the night because he needed to GO, and BADLY! (You know what I mean, involves a toilet) Since there wasn't any toilet, he luckily found a boulder and went behind it.  While he was doing his business, something was rustling in the bushes, causing Hirokazu to scream like a girl.  "AAAHHH!!! DON'T EAT ME!!!" screamed Hirokazu.  His voice was loud enough to wake up the entire digimon, but luckily, Alice covered his mouth in tape.  Out came a boy around their age, with orange straight hair and bangs, wearing a white T- shirt, and pair blue jeans. (How original for the clothing) He spoke in a British accent, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you."  "Who are you anyway?" asked Jenrya.  "I don't mean any harm. I just want to become your friend" he said.  "But if you want to become our friend, then why were you hiding in the bushes?" replied Hirokazu.  "Oh, I'm new in this world, I came by myself, and I don't know how to get out" he said.  "That's alright, you can stay with us! What's your name?!" asked Juri happily.  "My name?! Ah…my name is…Kane," he stuttered.  "Okay Kane, you're with us now!" exclaimed Takato.  It was almost morning, so they started to head out to find Ruki, and the master

    The Tamers kept walking, until they reached a lake, so they stopped and rested.  Alice was sitting a bit away from the rest of the group because somehow, she didn't trust Kane.  Jenrya saw this, and walked up to Alice, sitting beside her.  "What's up?" he said.  Alice replied, "Is it me or is there something wrong with Kane? I mean, he just shows up in the middle of the night, then asks us to be his friends."  "Well, I don't trust him that much, but at least try to anyway," Jenrya replied with a little smile.  Somehow that little smile kind of made her feel a bit comfortable.  While that was going on, Takato, Kenta, Hirokazu, Ai, Mako, Shuichon, Juri, and the rest of the digimon were having a water war.  Takato and Juri saw that Kane wasn't playing, so they went to ask him to play.  "Hey Kane, let's have a bit of fun?!'" they both said.  "Ah, no thanks really. I appreciate it, but no," he exclaimed.  Suddenly, a splash of water landed on Kane, causing him to look totally freaked out.  Everybody stopped what they were doing, because something they thought wouldn't happen, happened.  Kane looked liked he was melting, because his outer exterior was coming off!

     He turned out to be a digimon instead!  "You pathetic fool, now I must kill you!" he yelled.  Soon, he sent out ray beams from his eyes, attacking anyone in his way.  "I knew I couldn't trust him" muttered Alice.  The digimon looked liked a human and digimon, with a black metallic suit, and two silver pointed spheres for attacking.  "DarkRyanomon (made up name and attacks, don't laugh!), a holy beast type digimon, with the attacks of "Trinity Beam" and "Darkness Illusion" shouted Takato.  "Since this is a holy digimon, I guess we got to biomerge" said Jenrya.  Soon, Takato and Guilmon biomerged to Gallantmon, and Jenrya and Terriermon biomerged to MegaGargoman with MarineAngemon, Guardromon, Lopmon, and Impmon following closely behind.  A "Burst Shot" was released from MegaGargomon and a "Royal Saber" was released from Gallantmon.  An "Ocean Love" and "Destruction Grenade" was also released from MarineAngemon and Guardromon.  Then, Lopmon and Impmon digivolved to Antylamon and Beelzemon, sending an "Arm Bomber" and "Double Impact".  The attacks were all a direct hit, but to their dismay, DarkRyanomon was still standing!  "Do you not know who I am?! I am the Master!  I thought controlling you children would be an easy task, but I would have, if that buffoon didn't pour water on me!" he snarled.  "Hey! I am not a BUFFOON!" yelled Hirokazu (Hey, who do you think is dumb enough, in yet smart enough, to splash on DarkRyanomon?)  Then, DarkRyanomon shouted out a "Darkness Illusion", covering the entire field in darkness and toxic air as well.  Everybody was going down because of the poison, but suddenly, a burst of light was released, coming from the lake.

     The light shown brightly, revealing a staff, with a red jewel inserted in the middle.  DarkRyanomon couldn't stand the light (How typical of me to write a creature that hates light) so he tried to make a dash for it and he did, but he'll return because that staff was the power that he was seeking!  Everyone was captivated by the light the staff illuminated.  Then, the staff seemed to be heading towards Takato, almost like it was giving itself to him.  Takato nervously took the staff, and felt power surge within him.  A voice was suddenly heard within the staff saying "You are the owner of this staff with the power of fire (How typical of me), and with it you can make one wish."  "A wish?" thought Takato.  He looked around only to see the eyes of Juri, and she smiled back at him, causing him to blush and knowing that she lost Leomon, but he also recalled that Alice lost a digimon as well.  Takato made up his mind and said, "Then, I wish for Juri's and Alice's digimon to return!"  Then, the staff started to glow, causing them to go blind.  Out of the light came two digimon.  It was Leomon and Dobermon!  "Oh my god!" cried Juri.  "I can't believe it" said Alice almost crying.  The two girls ran up to their digimon, hugging and crying, knowing that their digimon were back.  "Hey man, can you wish for some pizza and soda?" asked Hirokazu.  Jenrya asked, "How did you do that?"  "I don't know, but it felt like this staff was talking to me" replied Takato.  "Talking to him?" thought Jenrya.  "That staff belongs to the four elemental powers" said Dobermon.  "Elemental power?" thought everyone.  "I heard tales and rumors about it.  There are three more like that one except the rest is elements of, wind, water, and earth. (How more typical of me) Each power is locked within a jewel due to its enormous power, and only certain chosen ones can unlock the power to defeat the new evil" said Dobermon.  (That's even more typical)

     "Then I guess, we better head out to find the rest before anymore weirdoes come attack us again" exclaimed Hirokazu.  With that statement said, the Tamers headed out.  While that was going on, Ruki and Ryo were walking out of the forest to a nearby village.  It was getting really hot, considering that after walking out of the forest, it turned into a desert.  "You know Ruki, we can stop and rest if you like" said Ryo.  "No, I want to keep on going. No stops" replied Ruki harshly.  "What about you Renamon?" Ryo replied.  "I can still keep going" replied Renamon.  "She's my partner, not yours Akiyama!" snapped Ruki.  "Okay. I was just checking.  How about you Cyberdramon?" asked Ryo.  "I can maintain" said Cyberdramon.  But before anyone walked another step, the desert suddenly formed a hole underneath Ruki, causing her to fall!  "Ruki! I'm coming!" yelled Ryo.  And with that, he went down the hole, trying to rescue Ruki.  Renamon and Cyberdramon were about to go in as well, but the hole disappeared before their eyes.  "You're not going any where," snickered someone.
