Me: HELLO! I'm back finally after one LOOOOOONNNNGGGGG week of TAKS, major tests, and two projects but it's all good. After all, there's only one more month till summer time baby!

Rika: And I thought Takato was an imbecile.

Me: *Holds up an UMP Carbine* You're really starting to get on my nerves and now that I have a little bit more ammo, you're not that threatening.

Rika: Oh yeah? *Turns into Sakuyamon*

Me: Oh $h^t.

Well here's chapter number 4 everyone. REVIEW! FOR GOD'S SAKE MAN REVIEW!

~*~*~

"Brothers! We must take action against this vile fiend immediately and crush him with all the fury of the four Sovereign!" Roared Zhuquiamon as he hovered above the massive hole where the Light of Digivolution glowed ever brightly. "This data-seeking scum is the true representation of what those Tamers are to our world! Destroy him and his partner then we will send a message to all the humans in this world that they have to respect us and honor our world and its inhabitants!"

Instead of a response coming from Azulongmon, the wisest of the Four, Ebonwumon was the first to issue a counter-argument. "Have you lost all of your reasoning?! If we were to kill this human, then what's to say that the Tamers won't decide to dissolve the HD agreement and turn against us in full revolt?" The left of his two heads asked. "You and I know that although we Sovereign are the strongest single digimon in this realm, if the bio-merged guardians thought that we were their enemy, we would be reduced to data before you could say digivolution."

"Well put, Ebonwumon." The white tiger Sovereign, Baihumon, said as he rested on his haunches. "We cannot afford to destroy what little peace there is between the humans and digimon right now. We have already sent delegates to the data-seeker in hopes of reasoning with him but he has destroyed all three of them so we will resort to a more forceful approach."

At this, Azulongmon descended from the clouds into the area. "I agree, Baihumon. However, since this is a Tamer we are dealing with, I purpose we use a Tamer and his or her partner to contend with them. Make sure that the humans know we are not against them by any means of the word."

"For once, Azulongmon, you and I are speaking the same language. And I already had someone in mind." Zhuquiamon replied, his voice dripping with mischievousness. "Beelzemon!"

"What?! You want that psychotic maniac to fight a data-seeker that has only been killing champions and ultimates?!" Ebonwumon exclaimed.

"Why not? After all, he is the fifth most powerful digimon in this dimension and he is also the partner of the two rulers of Imp City. Beelzemon would be a perfect candidate."

"I should have figured that you little retards would want me here to do your dirty work." Said Impmon as he stepped out of the shadows, Ai beside him. "Hey Zhu, if you want something done, do it your damned self!"

"Yeah. Me, Mako, and Impmon don't really like being your scapegoats, Sovereigns." Ai retorted as he bowed down slightly before raising his eyes to glare at Zhuquiamon. "And now that me and Impmon know that the only reason you called us here was to use us, we're really inclined to head home."

Ai and Impmon just stood there, side-by-side, shooting daggers at the four Sovereigns, especially Zhuquiamon. It was clear that they did not like arriving and finding the four digital rulers in a secret meeting that would end in the younger of the twin Tamers and his diabolical partner playing assassin for the Sovereign. Zhuquiamon just started to laugh deeply, pissing off the Tamer-partner duo even more.

"You come into a private meeting that I invited you to then openly insult me with your disrespect? I should crush you where you stand." Zhuquiamon replied as he descended closer to the ground to be able to speak to them a little more closely. However, Impmon's quick digivolution to his mega form stopped any movement in the area.

"I would advise you not to make another move, you Sovereign scum." Said the mighty dark king, Beelzemon, as he pulled out his two shotguns and leveled them directly at Zhuquiamon.

"So you're sayin' that there's a rouge Tamer who's been killin' ultas and then takin' their data without a second though, right T?" Barret asked as we walked onwards toward Imp City to pick up three of Mako's specially made giga-cycles for our journey into the deep desert. The motorcycles were based off of Beelzemon's old vehicle, which is why I loved riding them whenever I got to drive. They were fast, sleek, and the epitome of true style with the solid black frame.

"That's what I was told. Renamon said that the Tamer was a data-seeker that we should watch out for." I replied as we crested the second to last hill before we'd be in the sector where Imp City resided. "But seriously; if he really wants a fight, Blackguilmon and I will be happy to wipe the floor with him and whatever weakling he has for a partner. After all, we've been itching for a worthy opponent for quite some time."

"Takeidmon? If we fight him, could I digivolve again?" Blackguilmon asked as we trudged on. "I haven't needed to since the fight with Mastertyranomon and that was only because he was an ultimate."

"Sure thing, boy. After all, if this nut case is destroying ultimates then we might need to go to the champion level but only maybe." I answered, causing both of us to laugh good-heartedly. My partner and I knew that, together, there was no one in this world or the next that could beat us.

"Trumpet's Call!" Shouted a female digimon behind us before a sound wave of pure energy shot past us. I knew who it was before I even turned; there was only one person that I knew that would act like that. It was the same girl I had had a crush on for over a year now, Barret's sister, Jeni Wong.

In unison, the three of us that had nearly got blasted by her champion level partner's attack turned around, each of us wearing a death glare in our eyes. As I had expected, there stood both Jeni and the champion-leveled angel digimon, Cherumon, at the top of the hill we had just crested.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Barret roared furiously.

She smiled innocently, a smile that made the color in my face redden at least a few shades. I was about to wave like an idiot but thankfully the next exchange snapped me out of the lover-boy phase. "Hello to you too, brother. Matt, Takeid, as always it is a pleasure to see both of you." She was always so polite and well mannered which asked the question 'How could she possibly be related to Barret?'

"Answer the question!"

"Well I overheard mother and father talking and heard that you and your friends were going to the Digital World so I decided to follow along." She answered with another smile that made me blush even more. Meanwhile, Barret was going psycho but I could not have cared less.

"And you thought that you could just come along?!" Barret spat. "This is a vacation for my friends and me alone so scram!"

"It's a free digi-world."

"Take a hike, you pathetic tag-a-long piece of crap!"

"Dude, you don't have to be so mean..." I whispered to him. "She is your sis and she's one of us, after all."

"Shut up, lover-boy!" He replied meanly. "It figures that you'd take her side because after all, you've wanted to get with her since I don't know when."

Matt shot a quick glance at me, watching to see what I was going to do next. The quieter of my two best friends could easily tell that something was about to go down, something big and, with the way things were looking right now, painful.

'He's not worth it, Takeid. Don't do anything you'll regret later.' I told myself silently, all the while shooting an icy stare directly him. I wasn't even blushing anymore; he had clearly overstepped his bounds. "Shut up." I said fiercely, an inferno of dark flames roaring behind my eyes. At that moment, I felt that if I opened my mouth again, I would be spitting the flames like my partner did.

"Make me! I'll take you on right here and now!"

My hands were balled into fists, the knuckles turning whiter and whiter by the second. I was ready to put him into the ground. In my mind, a diabolical melody played about, the music repeating itself to help me concentrate on Barret and Barret alone. "Fine."

"Oh you really think you got a chance?! That's really ri-!" He spat before I silenced him by lifting him off his feet, his scrawny little neck firm in my grip.

"Takeid! Stop it now!" Matt screamed as he realized it could get far worse than he had originally thought. I threw Barret backwards to the ground, eyeing him malevolently as he gasped for air while he sat up on the grassy hill.

Jeni rushed down to her brother immediately, all the while looking at me in a pained and accusing way like all of this was my fault even though her brother was the one with an extremely small level of control over his temper. He liked to start fights so I'd finish them for him, that was how it always went.

"Are you finished now?" I asked, an icy edge in my voice.

He just glared up at me, a snarl set on his lips.

"Brother, it's alright. I should have asked you first if I could have come along." Jeni said, drawing the tension away from Barret and I and back towards her where it could be dealt with non-violently. "If you want me to leave, I'll head back home with Seramon."

"Nah, it's cool sis." He answered, lightening up again almost immediately. "If you want to come along with us, it's not cool for me to be a jerk and say you can't. So, you comin'?"

She smiled again as she helped him back to his feet. "I would be delighted to. After all, I would love to visit Mako again and see if she has made any new inventions since our last visit."

We started walking again, most of the time in an uneasy silence besides a little small talk between Barret, Jeni, or Matt. I was silent and they all knew why. 'You idiot! You lost it again and acted like a friggin' Megidramon! Thank Kami that you didn't hurt him too bad.' After a long while of mentally berating myself I finally apologized to Barret and then began talking again as well.

We continued to walk onward for the next two hours, stopping for lunch about halfway through the long journey. It was getting close to time for the change from night to day when we finally came to within the last two miles from Imp City, a very good thing because everyone did not want to have to walk through this desert at night and Ai and Mako were probably expecting us.

I could see the lights of the massive city in the valley below us as we emerged from between two large hills. It looked so inviting and welcoming in the distance but we were not going to the city for a long visit so there would not be any tourism time. However, we were going to allow ourselves a little bit of free time for some fun before we set off again. After all, this was a vacation.

~*~*~

"My lord, there is a small group of children and digimon approaching from the east. Should I prepare for battle?" Asked Hazard's partner digimon as he watched the kids move steadily down the side of the slope.

'If I reveal myself to someone I cannot kill yet, then I would have to retreat without their partner's data. However, if I fight them and then just scare them off, they would be more frightened of me when I do decide to destroy them.' Hazard thought silently as he stood up to watch the four young humans.

His mechanical eye spun around in its metallic socket, intent on getting a better look at the four people below him. He knelt down on the ground and picked up a small rock in his left robotic arm, crushing it into a fine powder when he closed his fist. "Why not? I think it is about time we came out of the shadows."

"Yes, my lord." Replied the charcoal gray digimon as he walked to the edge of the ridge that overlooked the human Tamers. Behind him, Hazard ran a robotic hand through the platinum hair that was wildly spiked all along his head. 'It is almost time, my love. This schism is nearly over with.'
