Chapter 1 Ruki's Adventure Begins

Shortly after the Tamers rediscovered the gate to the Digital World, they went and told Yamaki. Yamaki listened to what they said in complete shock. He didn't believe them. He thought that the gate was closed for good. The Tamers took him to Guilmon's shack and showed him. He made them promise not to go back there until he and the Monster Makers could come up with a device that would allow the Tamers to press a button and be returned home.

The Monster Makers were soon told and work on the project started immediately. Each and every step was carefully planned and checked over many more times. They didn't want to make another mistake like they did with the D-Reaper.

It took them a full six months before a prototype was finally made. All they needed to do was test it. The problem with that was they would actually have to send something to the Digital World that could actually press the button to return home. No robots had the capability they needed and it would take too long to build one. They didn't want to make the Tamers wait much longer.

After a week of debate, they decided that one of the Tamers should go. It was a tough choice, but if by chance the device didn't work then the Tamer who actually went would know how to survive until they could be returned home. Yamaki called all of the Tamers to meet at Guilmon's shack right after school on Friday, two days later. They were only told that they must attend to hear important information.

Sure enough, when the day of the meeting rolled around, every single Tamer was in attendance. Yamaki had been sitting quietly until they all arrived and now he stood up to make his announcement. "I'm sure you all know why you have been called here even though you weren't told the reason. The prototype for the device that will allow you to travel to and from the Digital World is now complete. The official name for it is the DW Transporter which when spelled out means Digital World Transporter. However, this is just a prototype and now it needs to be tested." He stopped, letting the Tamers soak in the information.

"But uh, Mr. Yamaki sir, how will it be tested?" asked Takato.

"That is the reason you have all been called here. We don't have any other means necessary to test it on hand. It would take months to build something like that. We know that we have made you wait long enough and do not wish to do this. We have thought of another option though. One of you will be the ones to go through the gate and test it. You will be given a communicator and supplies, but other than that you will be on your own. Since you may or may not find your partner right away, you must be able to survive by yourself. This is the only other way."

"Well I'm out," muttered Hirokazu.

"Me too," replied Kenta.

"And Shiuchon, Ai, and Makoto definitely can't go since their too young and I really don't think I'm up to that kind of challenge," said Jenrya.

"I have no partner and I don't think I'll be able to do that by myself anyway," added Juri, tears forming in her eyes.

"I don't think I could handle that, especially if I have to survive alone all by myself. I just don't feel comfortable doing it," said Takato.

"Well, I'll do it. It can't be that hard now can it?" questioned Ruki, full of confidence.

"I will too," answered Ryo, trying to impress Ruki. It had the opposite effect.

"Oh no you won't," argued Ruki.

"I survived for months before you guys even came there."

"That doesn't mean anything."

"Stop it you two. I actually expected this type of reply from both of you. There's only one thing I need to do now," said Yamaki.

"What?" asked Ryo and Ruki simultaneously.

"Call your parents. I need to have their permission before I allow you to go."

"Great," muttered Ryo," Dad doesn't want me going back there for a long time. I got in trouble for the last time I left."

"That's your problem," remarked Ruki.

"Shut up," said Ryo.

"Calm down. I'm going to go outside and call your parents right now. Stay here and DON'T try to spy on my conversation," interrupted Yamaki as he walked outside and off to another spot in the park.

"You know which ever one of you do go, you will be doing a great thing for all of us. We all want to go, but can't for some reason or another. Whoever goes will be able to tell us how the Digital World is reformatting and what Digimon you see partner or no partner," spoke up Takato.

"You could put it like that," added Jenrya.

"I wish I could go," muttered Hirokazu.

"Kazu, the last time I left you and Kenta alone and told you to stay put, you got scared and followed me. You wouldn't be able to survive by yourself," replied Ruki.

"And that means what?" asked Hirokazu.

"Never mind."

Just then Yamaki walked back in and stuck his cell phone inside of his suit. "I have called both of your parents. Ryo, your dad will not allow you to go because you ran away before. He does not trust you even though you saved the world. He wants you to stay home. Ruki, you on the other hand, will be the one to go. Your mother understands you want to go and will allow it. She said that she trusts you will make the right decisions while you are there. Do you still want to go?"

"Yes. Yes I do."

"Then it's settled. You will leave on Monday. Pack your cards, D-Arc and an extra set of clothes in a backpack. Nothing else. We will supply the rest of the supplies you need."

"Yes sir."

"Thank you for coming, Tamers. I expect I'll be hearing from you soon, am I right?"

"Yes," answered all of the Tamers.

"May I ask a question?" asked Ruki.

"Sure. What is it?"

"Well if you don't mind, I'd like to spend a few days there, sort of surveying the land and getting used to other Digimon again, if that's okay with you."

"I guess if that is what you wish."

"It is."

"Fine. We will allow you to do it then," answered Yamaki as he left the shack. Little by little, the other Tamers dispersed too.

When Ruki arrived home, she went straight to her room and started to pack right away. She wanted to get it done and out of the way. Hmm. Yamaki will never know if I pack a few extra things and hide them in my clothes if they're small. The only other thing I want to take is a notebook to record my own personal account of my time in the Digital World. It may come in handy and the other Tamers would be able to read what happened."

Ruki pulled out her school backpack and threw in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. They were folded carefully, the notebook tucked away inside the shirt. She stuck her D-Arc and cards beside her backpack. She would carry those on her belt when she left.

Ruki placed everything by her bedroom door except for her cards. She took those over to the small table and spread them out. If she did meet Renamon again, she would need to know some card tactics if they ever got into battle. Little did she know how much she would need them later on.

Monday soon arrived for Ruki and she hurried down to Hypnos at 9 a.m. When she arrive, Yamaki was waiting for her in the main lobby. "Well Ruki, are you ready to go?" he asked.

"All except for the supplies you need to give me."

"Follow me."

Yamaki led Ruki to a storage lab where Riley was waiting with the supplies Ruki needed. She took off her backpack and handed it to Riley who then began filling it with stuff. "What exactly did you give me?" asked Ruki.

"Aren't we the sharp one? Well about 3 days worth of astronaut food, even though I know you don't need to eat in the Digital World, but you may want it, some food utensils, some bottled water, a first aid kit, a small laptop equipped with a communicator so you will be able to email us, and the DW Transporter of course. I think that is all you will need, correct?"

"Yes."

"Good. Riley will take you to the portal. I have other important matters to attend to. Good luck." Yamaki waved goodbye and walked out of the room.

Riley finished filling Ruki's backpack and zipped it up. Then she handed it back to Ruki. Ruki had made sure that the backpack zipped and not snapped because she did not want to lose her supplies like Guilmon did.

Riley led Ruki out of the Hypnos building and they began the walk to Shinjuku Park. "Are you scared?" asked Riley. It was out of concern and not meant to be a tease.

"A little bit," admitted Ruki. Ruki had every right to be a bit scared. She wasn't sure of how well the Digital World had recovered and what Digimon she would meet there.

The two soon arrived at Guilmon's shack. "Well good luck, Ruki. We're all counting on you," encouraged Riley. She stood and watched Ruki pull away the boards that covered the portal.

"I'll send you guys an email when I get there and find some place to stay," commented Ruki. Riley then watched as she crawled into the awaiting digital portal.
