Part 4 of 'The D-Slayer Chronicles'...I'm on fire today!

Part 4: Between Winners

Our story continues a few days after Henry's brush with evil, we go to a dark room...suddenly a few lights come on and we see General L and his followers, "I still think you didn't need to use that much power Lieutenant Y...you nearly took their heads off!" Lieutenant Y appears behind General L and bows slightly saying, "Sorry sir, won't happen again...I just wanted to make this a thorough mission." suddenly a voice comes up from behind them saying, "Well just be mindful of the strength you've been given Lieutenant Y...just because you're stronger than they are doesn't make up for what you did." the voice came from a digimon who flew up to General L and landed right beside him...here are it's stats:

Name: Ravenmon

Type: Virus

Level: Rookie

Attack/s: Raven Mimic & Shadow of Illusion

Other Info.: This little bird loves to taunt it's enemies, Raven Mimic allows it to copy an opponents attack, and Shadow of Illusion allows it to make copies of itself or make his opponent attack itself.

"Me and my partner Magpiemon agree with Ravenmon Lieutenant Y...your powers are great...but your skill was lacking." Magpiemon landed and sat on his tamers shoulder...here are his stats.:

Name: Magpiemon

Type: Virus

Level: Rookie

Attack/s: Mirror of Lies & Dream Eater

Other Info.: This bird almost looks like Ravenmon's identical twin...the only difference is that the feathers on Magpiemon's wings are mostly white. His Mirror of Lies attack can turn a friend into an enemy and his Dream Eater saps his enemies' strength.

"Okay...so what if you two agree with him, there's still Ensign P...and he's always been on my side." Soon there came a voice saying, "I'm afraid I have to agree with Ravenmon this time Lieutenant Y." his partner is Wormon incase you needed to know. Soon all three of them were arguing over who did what wrong.

Finally the argument was put to rest when General L. yelled: "Enough!" he calmed down then continued, "Here's the new game plan, Lieutenant H you will give Mr. Takato a visit...as for I, I will see about Rika. We start at the coming of nightfall understood?" They all nodded.

Later that day Rika starts heading home when Mike shows up out of nowhere behind her, "I can't really seem to get rid of you can I?" she says with mock sweetness. Mike just looks at her expression and said, "Well you're going to have to get up pretty early to get the drop on me...I just thought as a friendly gesture if I escorted you to where ever you're going." Rika then started to smell something and said, "What's that smell...motor oil!" Mike quickly shoved his gloved left hand into his pocket and said, "I don't smell anything?"

Well following Rika home he said, "Sorry to sneak up like that earlier...I won't try and make the same mistake twice." Rika smiled slightly and said, "That's good to hear...cause if you do?" she then turns around and nearly delivers a kick to Mike, it just stops a few inches from his face, she continues with: "I'll mess up that face so badly not even your mom'll recognize you." Mike just smirks and laughs slightly, "Oh, I promise you...you'll never get that close to me, not in one year, not in ten years...not even in 10,000 YEARS! Will you ever get close enough to nailing me like that." Rika turns around and says, "See you later." Mike still smirks and quietly says, "No, see you tonight...heh,heh,heh." Mike just walks away from the front entrance, meanwhile in a shadowed corner we see Angel watching Mike leave...what's that all about?"

Meanwhile Takato is busy doing his homework when he hears a tapping sound coming from his window, he looks out to see a guy in a black jacket, he holds a burgundy and white D-Power in front of Takato...Guilmon sees this and starts growling at him, the kid gestures for Takato to follow him to the roof. Takato opens his sliding glass door and follows the kid up the fire escape to the roof. There he finds the kid looking rather patient looking at the moon.

"Okay...who are you and what do you want?!" Takato asked, the kid says, "You already know the answer...or maybe it's behind you and you don't see it yet." Takato looks behind himself and sees Guilmon, Takato looks at the kid slightly frightened, the kid sees this look then says, "No, no, no...its nothing like that. What I speak of is a challenge, a fight of Tamers...you and Guilmon verses me and my digimon, but it will not be here." Suddenly Takato feels something give him a hard tug as he and Guilmon are transported to the park along with the mystery kid. There's something about that smile that gives Takato the creeps.

Meanwhile Rika is just studying her cards, thinking of another kick butt strategy when she starts to hear the sound of glass bottles being hit together. She checks outside her room and sees a kid in a black trench coat with three glass bottles on his fingers, slowly tapping them together. "Oh Rika...come out and play, OH RIKA...COME OUT AND PLAY-EE-AY!" he starts taunting. Rika looks at him and asks, "Who the heck are you and what do you want?!" the kid removes the bottles from his fingers and says, "A battle with the best against the best is all I ask, call out your partner so that I may start my challenge." he calls in a clear voice. Rika just gives him the cold shoulder, the kid sneers at her and says, "Hey, don't walk away...I'm talking to you here!" He then raises his black and white D-Power above his head and Ravenmon appears. Rika turns back and replies, "You're that serious aren't you? Not much to look at...but a fight's a fight?" Renamon appears behind Rika. The kid looks at the two of them and says "Marvleous...just Marvelous."

Meanwhile Takato is having some problems trying to stop Magpiemon, so far he's been able to weaken Guilmon down using Dream Eater, the match ends with Magpiemon giving Guilmon one good dive to the chest. Takato runs to his downed partner...the kid just looks at them and throws Takato a black card with a skull and cross bones on it, "Just incase you didn't get the memo!" he taunts and then he walks off into the night.

Well Renamon isn't really having an easy time with Ravenmon either, with all the reflecting of her attacks and her attacks only hurting herself...she's know on one knee, half exhausted. "Renamon...get up and fight! I'm going to be real peeved if you lose!" Renamon quickly replied, "Rika...I've been trying, he's...he's just a little better than I thought." the kid just laughs and says, "Now do you see little girl, Renamon is fast yes, and her agility is excellent yes...but when against a manipulator of reality like Ravenmon, she's her own worst enemy. Ravenmon, one more mimic of Diamond Storm...only this time, turn it on the girl." Ravenmon flies up into the air and yells, "RAVEN DIAMOND STORM!" suddenly Renamon's attack comes flying at her, she shields herself waiting for the end, suddenly she hears a whistling sound and looks to see that the D-Slayer is in front of her spinning his sword in his hand to deflect the attack. The General says, "What are you doing here slayer?!" The General yells out, "You dare strike a girl that can't defend herself? You my sir...HAVE NO HONOR!" The General gives him an angry look and then looks at Rika and says, "This isn't over yet little girl." and with a swish of his trench coat, he and Ravenmon disappear.

The D-Slayer looks at Rika and says in a stern tone, "Now do you see how dangerous these guys are?"

"I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!" Rika screams at him and walks back into her room, "Isn't there anything in your vocabulary that would even come close to graditude?" he asks, she just closes the door behind her and doesn't answer. The Slayer turns to Renamon (who now is standing up) and asks, "Is she always like this?"

But now you have to wonder...what's it going to take to stop 'World Three'?
