All the tamers had found a place by now. Kazu on Guardramon, Kenta in the grass, Talon on a rock with Agumon and Gatomon near him, Henry and Jeri next to each other on a log with Terriermon on Henry's head and Leomon standing valiantly behind Jeri, and Rika against a tree that Renamon is lying in.
"What level are we on now?" Kenta innocently questioned the troop.
"I think we're on the fourth level of the digital world." Henry looked around and noticed that this place hadn't looked even visited by Ryo or anyone bad yet.
".That's it!" Kazu practically jumped up. "We can ride every data stream we see until we find Takato!"
Rika quickly shot his enthusiasm. "We have no way to navigate a data stream. We'd just get lost if we did that."
"Wait," Talon opened up, " did anyone else notice how ruff the data stream was? It seemed.unstable."
Henry pondered a moment then spoke. "Come to think of it, the trip was much smoother last time we rode one. What do you think that means?"
There was a heavy silence as everyone gave it thought, but the first to reply was the one with the computerized brain, Guardramon. "I believe the digital world may be breaking down somehow. The levels. 'feel' farther apart."
"Can that digimon be doing this?" Everyone knew whom Rika was thinking about. She was thinking of Neraphimon, the mysterious digimon that captured Takato to begin with.
"It is a possibility." Guardramon simply stood there as if none of this bothered him, but it did.
After a moment of silence Rika simply disregarded it. "Can we just stop thinking about this for once? First things first, we need to find Takato. Then we can work on this thing."
Henry nodded in agreement. "I agree with Rika. If nothing else we need to find Takato first. He can help us decide on where to go from there."
Jeri had earlier pushed the thoughts of the poor digimon who have died from her mind and tried her best to concentrate on the problem at hand. "But if we're going to find Takato then we have to take our chances with the data streams, right?"
Before anyone else could answer, Talon piped in. "Maybe not."
It caught Henry's interest. "What else do you think we could do?"
Talon replies in a calm voice. "How do you think other digimon find themselves in different places?"
"I don't know."
"You saw them before. All digimon seem to be afraid of data streams, so that can't be how. My guess is our precious digi-nomes might have an answer to our problem. They're seen everywhere if you pay enough attention, and how do they get there."
"Last time we saved the digital world digi-nomes seem to play quite a part also." Henry grasped his D-3 and pulled it from his side to look at it. "I think they respond to our D-3's."
Everyone pulled there D-3's from their sides and looked at it.
Renamon glared dangerously at Talon. " How do you know so much."
All eyes turned to him and his answer was simply, "Attention to detail. That's all."
Renamon just returned to her thoughts. {I had better keep my eye on him.}
"Anyway, any ideas how we can use this to our advantage?" Rika look quizzically at her D-3 shaking it.
Kazu was pressing so many buttons it looked like he was playing a game. Then suddenly his D-3 began to glow and he dropped it.
"Kazu what did you do to your D-3!?" Kenta backed away from it.
It glowed for a few moments more before small white ghastly figures appeared near it. They were kind of cute and they flew in somewhat.playful circles around it. Kazu hopped off Guardramon and crouched near them. "Its...digi-nomes." He picked up his D-3 and the digi-nomes began to play around Kazu. Kazu looked at his D-3 and there was a picture of a digi-nome.
"How did you do that?" Henry stood amazed that something so reckless could bring about the answer.
Jeri was beaming. "I want one!" She practically shoved the D-3 into Kazu's hands and he started playing with it.
"Lets see, I did this and this and then I pressed this button here and then this tiny one here." It didn't light up at all. He repeated it a number of times and it wouldn't light up. "Your thing must be broken or somethin." He tossed it back to a now pouty Jeri.
Seconds after touching her hands, it lit like a Christmas tree, and within moments of that, more digi-nomes came and started playing around her.
Henry copied Kazu and before long, his began to light also. One after another, each tamer pressed the buttons and the D-3's lit. Soon the circle of friends were drowning in digi-nomes.
Gatomon hid behind Agumon because she was afraid of the digi-nomes. They were foreign to her like the rest of this area. "What are they here for?"
"Its alright, I'm sure Agumon will protect you if you find trouble." Talon grinned at Agumon as digi-nomes played around him. Soon they raided his hair. "Annoying little digimon aren't they." Agumon lightly chuckled.
"Yay! These digi-nomes are so~ cute and white and stuff!" Jeri was practically giddy with the digi-nomes playing around her. Then she looked at one that stopped in front of her nose and pointed to it. "What's your name?" The little digi-nome gently touched her finger and she was engulfed in a pillar of light. She began to hover a bit and in moments, she was four feet off the ground! "Not funny, put me down right now!" Then, in a flash, she disappeared.
"What happened to Jeri!?" Henry was panicking, but soon he found his legs weren't about to help him while he wasn't on the ground. "What's going on!?" In another flash, he disappeared with Terriermon.
"Come on Agumon, grab Gatomon cause I get a feelin we won't be stayin here to long."
"Right!" Agumon quickly grabbed Gatomon and hopped into Talon's waiting arms.
One after another, they disappeared, digimon and tamer alike.
~Screen fades out~
~Random commercial of the Terminator guy selling a Japanese energy drink called "Yosh!" ~
~Screen fades in on the newest plain/level of the digital world~
The area in general is desolate. It seems nothing more than a few shrubs are the only things living in the entire plain. In the distance there seems to be a castle of some sort, but its shrouded in an eerie mist. There's a deathly silence, but soon the silence is broken by the yells of the tamers as they arrive in a flash of light.
"Do all our trips have to be that rough?" Kenta was of course the first to complain.
"I wouldn't be complaining to much." Talon got up and stared at the castle in the distance.
"Why? What do you see?" Henry wondered.
Rika stood the in shock. {I know he's there. That's gotta be where they're keeping him.I can feel it.Takato's presence.} She didn't have to say anything to Renamon because she felt the exact same thing. Before saying anything, the two broke into an all out dash for the castle.
"Rika, where are you going?" Jeri yelled after her.
It didn't take a lot of thought, the tamers simply ran after her.
~In the dark castle~
"We finally lost her." Takato was breathing hard. He and Guilmon have been running all this time through unfamiliar halls. After he caught his breath, he looked around. There was a chandelier and a small table in the middle with dead flowers. Past that he saw two average sized.doors! "It's the entrance! It has to be! Come on Guilmon!" Both made a final dash for the doors, but their path was blocked by.Renamon.
"Where do you think your going, love?" She slowly began advancing, her tail swinging loosely behind her.
"Around, Guilmon!" They turned around only to find that Renamon used her superior speed to get behind them.
She began advancing again, slowly. She gradually forced Takato and Guilmon's backs to the door. "Your mine now." Then suddenly she jumped back as the door swung open revealing a heavily breathing Rika and a sort of heavily breathing Renamon.
Takato practically tackled her as he hugged her. "I knew you guys would find me!"
Guilmon HAD tackled Renamon and began licking her face giddily. "Hihi Renamon!"
Rika was blushing furiously. {This feels nice. I wish I weren't occupied!}
Renamon wasn't exactly staying her natural color either. She was as good as orange now. {Not the time for this!} She practically threw him, and he landed on his back. Rika acted in a similar fashion. "What are you doing staying here!?"
Rika was thinking along the same lines. "Yeah, You should have come out of here earlier!"
"But, but_"
"No buts!" Rika was pointing madly at him.
"Renamon~."
"Don't you say my name like that!"
"HAI!" Guilmon's voice was unsteady but he complied. (A/N: Hai is a Japanese way of replying to an order or question. It means yes.)
"Hey, are you two yelling at MY mates!?" The Renamon in the back practically screamed out.
Rika and Renamon were shocked and slightly sickened at the comment.
"What are you talking about!?" Takato yelled back.
"You be quiet!" She materializes and throws an ice shard near him.
"Hai!" He nervously complied.
"Don't threaten Takato!" Rika glared at her apparent rival.
"What do you mean mate! They're going back with us!" She materialized an ice shard and threw it close to Renamon's face.
The rival Renamon smiled grimly in a somewhat sinister way. "Do you wish to fight?"
"What?"
"A small wager. If I win, I get both of them. If you win, I'll give them to you." Her smile widened and she made it apparent that she was extremely confident in her skills, but that wouldn't stop Renamon.
"Done!"
Takato sighed and sat next to Guilmon. "Our lives. a bet."
"Start!"
Rival Renamon charged forward and slashed directly at her with her claw. Of course, such a simple attack would not take any effort to dodge and Renamon did just that.
Then in mid jump. "Diamond Storm!" Shards of ice rained down on rival Renamon, rather they rained down where she was. Renamon found herself on the receiving end of her very own attack. She spread her arms quickly and dissolved all of the shards immediately before they hit her. "What did you do!?"
Rival Renamon giggled a bit. "My special technique that I call Kohenkyou. It allows me to switch places with my opponent. Now that you know you should be very aware of how useless it is to fight me."
"Why should I be frightened of a coward whom only knows to run away." Renamon grinned slightly at her 'witty' comment.
"!!! Why you. I'll show you coward!" She once again charged only this time she was stopped rather than avoided.
They were matching blow for blow, either blocking or dodging in some way.
"That technique won't help you in close range." Renamon grinned.
"No we're not." Rival Renamon mimicked her grin.
Both immediately disappeared and reappeared in opposite positions. Renamon confused her attacks with her blocks due to the immediate change. Rival Renamon took advantage of this moment and easily attacked her in her confusion. Soon she stopped and leapt to the other side of the room.
"You have no chance, Renamon."
"Renamon!" Rika prepares to swipe a card.
"No Rika! This is my fight. Diamond Storm!" The shards formed in front of her. When she brought down her arms and fired the shards, she unnoticeably grabbed two shards.
"That won't work. Kohenkyou!" The second she reappeared she smiled. {She doesn't have the strength to destroy those shards.} She turned her back and smiled evilly.
A ball of flame flew through the shards melting them. A single shard of ice flew through the water and straight into rival Renamon's back.
The force from the shard arched rival Renamon's back and she turned around only to see another shard flying at her. "Kohen-" The shard pierced her heart and went through. As she was dematerializing, she had but one question. "H...how...?" But when she saw that Renamon was wet she knew. With her last bit of strength, she materialized a few shards and weakly threw them at Guilmon, but when they hit him they harmlessly bounced off of his forehead.
Guilmon looked quizzically at his forehead where the shards hit.
In her final moments she had one last thing to say. "I need to see you ag...ain" In the last moments Takato felt a great amount of pity for her.
{I wish she didn't have to go like that.} He stared deep into his D-3 and it's screen began to burn bright. It blinded everyone I the room and after the light subsided there was a yellow digi-egg in the middle of the room. In a corner a digi-gnome faded away...winking?!
"Takato, I know you have something to do with this!" Rika madly points at the digi-egg lying on the floor.
Guilmon walks over to it and sniffs it. Then smiles gleefully. "Its Renamon!"
Some unknown force shaded Renamon's eye area as she walked up to it. Then her eyes glowed a deep red. "Guilmon~!!!!!!!!!" Before she just about deleted Guilmon, mysterious shadows appeared on the balcony above.
"So it's you Takato..."
"Huh, are you Ryu?" He squinted in the dim light to try and see the shady figure.
"That's right Takato... You stole the most important thing in the world to me...I want it back, but I can't have it as long as you exist!" He shot out his arm and yelled, "Attack, Cyberdramon!"
A/N: Next time on.this.fic? Anyway, I liked this one better than the last. Its longer than normal and it contains less happening. I estimate about 2 maybe 3 more chapters before the end. I just figured I'd tell you all. Sorry, I have no ACTUAL next time on.. But that's alright cause I'll prolly already have it written and I'm savin it. Well anyway I won't bug you guys anymore 'k? Bai bai!
P.S. The Renamon thing... I just couldn't let her die just like that. It'd be to mean.
