Okay, this is the fourth chapter.  So far, the Tamers received a staff, and are currently on pursuit of the master, Ruki, and the rest of the staffs.

Disclaimer: I don't own digimon, or anything related to it, and if they were real, I'd be the best Tamer for sure!!!

Chapter 4: Mysteries of the Unknown Cave and Meeting up with the Tamers

     Renamon and Cyberdramon looked behind their backs to see a digimon in brown robes, covered from head to toe, except for the eyes, and in his hand, he was holding a white looking globe.  "I am Etricomon, best known for his evil wizardry, and working for his beloved master," the digimon said. (Made up name, don't laugh!)  "I don't care who you are!  My only concern is to save Ruki!" shouted Renamon.  With that said, Renamon released a "Diamond Storm", but Etricomon held up his white globe, causing her attack to be sucked in.  "Your pathetic attempts won't harm me!" Etricomon snickered.  "Then how about a "Cyber Nail!" shouted Cyberdramon.  As usual, his attack only got sucked into the globe.  "Have I not told you that your attacks are useless!" laughed Etricomon.  "Cyberdramon, I think if we can destroy the globe, Etricomon's magic might weaken" whispered Renamon.  "Then, let's go!" replied Cyberdramon.  Cyberdramon distracted Etricomon with an "Erase Claw" and "Cyber Nail", while Renamon tried to get the globe, when Etricomon raised it up.  Unfortunately, Etricomon sensed that Renamon was going to get his globe, so he used his other hand (Not the one holding the globe of course!), and sent out poison needles!  The poison needles were coming too quickly for Renamon to block, but Cyberdramon made it in time to block its attack with a "Cyber Nail".  "You think you can outsmart me?!  That is where you're wrong! Now, that I got rid of the two Tamers, it's your turn to be annihilated!" Etricomon grinned. (He got rid of Ruki and Ryo by using magic to form a hole and covering it up, if you didn't know)

While that battle was going on, this is what happened to Ruki and Ryo…………

     Ryo woke up, badly bruised, considering they fell into the hole, and noticed they fell in a cave.  He saw Ruki lying on the ground a few inches away, and saw blood coming out from her forehead a bit.  Ryo hurried to Ruki, and tried to wake her up, while at the same time, wrapping up her wound.  Ruki woke up, and angrily pushed Ryo away, since he was touching her head.  "What do you think you're doing?!" snapped Ruki.  "Your forehead needs some tending, and I was only trying to wrap it with my scarf" he spoke sternly.  "My forehead?" thought Ruki, and she touched her forehead only feeling pain and blood.  "So, if you don't get that treated, an infection might start, and lose of blood" said Ryo.  Before Ruki could say anything, Ryo casually wrapped his scarf on her.  "That should do, for now anyway" he said.  "Hey! I didn't say you could do that, and what makes you think that I need your scarf for my wound?!" retorted Ruki.  Ryo acted like he didn't hear anything, and casually walked on.  "That stupid jerk, why does he care for me anyway? I mean, he acts like I'm his property or something!" thought Ruki.  While they were walking, they discovered some pictures and writing on the cave.  They stopped and looked at a drawing, showing four objects, pointing in one direction, forming something, but they couldn't make it out since it looked liked it was erased.  Suddenly, the cave shook, causing the top to collapse.  "We've got to find a way out of here, and the way I see it, our digimon are probably battling the creep that got us in here!" shouted Ryo.  "Well, who do you think could make the top fall, a dog?!" retorted Ruki.  "How do we get out of here?" thought Ruki and Ryo.  Then suddenly, their digivices started glowing, signaling them that their digimon needed them real fast!  The light from the two digivices combined and created a staircase, connecting to the top of the cave.  "After you my dear queen" smirked Ryo.  "Oh, shut up Akiyama!" said Ruki.  And with that, they walked on the stairs, hoping it'll lead them out.

Continued from the battle with Etricomon…………

     The two now powerless digimon couldn't withstand the power from Etricomon.  In just a few more minutes, Etricomon could have defeated the two digimon, but something stopped him from doing so.  He turned a round to see stairs made of light coming from the sand (They are in the desert, if you've forgotten), and out came to people.  "We're back and ready to beat the freak that did this to us" said Ruki.  "How?!...It's impossible?!... Nobody can get out from my spells?!" Etricomon said nervously.  "Well let's get started" said Ryo and Ruki.  "With pleasure" replied from both of the digimon.  Then, Ruki and Renamon biomerged to Sakuyamon, and Ryo and Cyberdramon biomerged to Justimon.  "Then, I'll just have to kill you both!" shouted Etricomon.  A "Dragon Helix" and "Thunder Clap" was released, causing Etricomon to just use his white globe to suck it all in.  "Then how about a "Vajra Mandala!" shouted Sakuyamon, but Etricomon just sucked it up.  Then suddenly, since Etricomon was too preoccupied in sucking in her attack, Justimon attacked with a "Justice Kick", causing the white globe to drop out of his hands.  "My globe!" screamed Etricomon.  "Too bad, so sad, but true!" said Sakuyamon.  Then, Sakuyamon threw the globe in the air, and released a "Crystal Sphere", causing the globe to be broken into pieces.  "Now it's your turn!" shouted Justimon.  Unfortunately, Etricomon casted a spell, creating a type of cloud for him to ride on.  "Next time we meet, I'll make sure I successfully killed you both!" said Etricomon angrily, and with that, he rode away high up and fast. (No, he is not a coward. He just couldn't believe his globe was broken into pieces, since he thought it was indestructible.)  The two tamers separated, exhausted, and looked at their surroundings.  "The village is just a few miles away, think you can reach it?" asked Ryo.  "Of course I can! Just because I have a wound, doesn't mean I can't! Got that?!" retorted Ruki.  "Sure, whatever you say" said Ryo.  "Good" said Ruki.  "Pumpkin" Ryo added.  "What did you say?!" yelled Ruki.  And with that, Ruki chased after Ryo, while the two digimon only stood by and watched.

The rest of the Tamers…………

     "Are we there yet, Jenrya?  I'm getting tired.  Can we rest?" asked Shuichon.  "We're almost to the village, and there, we can rest" replied Jenrya.  "I don't think we can take another step" said Ai and Mako.  Soon, Hirokazu and Kenta, even a few digimon agreed about that.  The Tamers had been walking almost nonstop, since the whole Kane becoming the master thing happened.  "I want some cream puffs!" whined Calumon, and "I want a lawyer, suing Darkryanomon for calling me a BUFFOON!" yelled Hirokazu.  "Would you please shut up?!" shouted Alice.  "Make me!" retorted Hirokazu.  "Dobermon" said Alice coolly.  Just then, Dobermon started to bite the pants off of Hirokazu.  "OKAY! I GET THE PICTURE! JUST MAKE HIM STOP! OOOWWW!!!" yelled Hirokazu.  Everybody turned around to see Hirokazu's pants torn off.  "Well, let's get going…I guess?" said Takato.  "Hirokazu is so naïve sometimes.  Right Takato?" smiled Juri.  "Yeah, he sure can be!" replied Takato.  Soon the two started talking and laughing, until a voice spoke up.  "Well, look at the two love birds.  This is better than what I saw, when Alice and Jenrya were talking at the lake" snickered Impmon.  "Yeah! All you and Alice did was talk, but Takato and Juri are flirting!" exclaimed Terriermon.  "Terriermon!" shouted Jenrya who blushed a bit.  "What did I say? It's true isn't it?" asked Terriermon.  Soon, four Tamers started to chase after Terriermon and Impmon with Alice saying," When I get my hands on you, I'll make sure you'll never see daylight again!"  "Yeah, you had no reason to spy on us!" yelled Jenrya.  "I never flirt with Juri!" yelled Takato.  "Yeah!" said Juri.  "That's not what we saw!" the two digimon snickered.  When the two digimon thought they were home free, something tackled them to the ground.  Takato and Jenrya were on top of the digimon, practically strangling them at the same time.  "Hey you guys?" said Kenta, when the rest of the Tamers caught up.  "What?!" shouted Takato and Jenrya.  "We're at the village, you know" said Kenta.  They looked up to see a village with digimon staring at them, thinking that their crazy, attacking their own digimon and all.  "Come on you two. Let's go" said Leomon.  Soon, the Tamers went inside a little restaurant, considering that Hirokazu wanted Alice to repay him for ripping up his pants.

     "Well, we finally made it to the village" exclaimed Ryo.  "Yeah, finally" remarked Ruki.  The two of them were walking with their digimon when they heard some very awful singing.  The singing belonged to no other than Kenta and Hirokazu.  "Oooohhhhh yeah! We got the moves, and the chicks dig us!" sang Hirokazu.  "We got the brains and brawn with other stuff baby!" sang Kenta.  Kenta and Hirokazu were only singing because the restaurant they were about to go into, had a secret surprise for anybody who displayed a great talent. (Think of it like a talent show)  "Would you two clowns shut up!" said a voice.  They turned around only to see Ruki, Ryo, Renamon, and Cyberdramon.  "Hey, it's Ryo!" exclaimed Kenta and Hirokazu.  "And Ruki!" said Juri.  Soon the rest of the Tamers reunited and talked about what happened on their journeys when they were separated.  "Hey Ruki, that looks like Ryo's scarf on your head" said Juri and Alice.  "Well it is, thanks for pointing out the obvious" said Ruki.  "Well, why are you still wearing it? We can put some new bandages" said Juri.  "No, let's leave it there, because I think Ruki likes it" Alice smirked.  With that said, Ruki started to chase and pummel Alice, but stopped when suddenly a huge sand storm came.  She saw two figures in it with two digimon, and they were walking directly towards her.

You guys probably know who the two figures are I bet.  If you don't know, then I suggest you either wait for me to update, or reread one of my chapters because I introduced them a bit already.  Also, thanks to those who reviewed for me and all.  In addition, I bet some of you know what the picture in the cave meant didn't ya?  So please review and ja ne!  ^ _^
