Ok people here is the 2nd chapter to my lil saga. Here is when all the
tamers gather ready for their adventure to begin. I'm not entirely sure
where things are going yet but hey I'll figure it out. ^_^ It'll help if I
get some reviews *hint hint* but hey. Any way on with the story. Disclaimer-

Rika stood in the old hideout waiting for the other tamers to get there. She was the first to arrive and was impatient to get going. Thinking about her sad departure from her humble home she brushed away at the tears threatening to spill at the thought of her mom and grandma. Looking around Rika turned her thoughts to those of the past, the past that Renamon was in. She thought back to the first time her and the other tamers stood in here ready to go to the Digiworld. How happy they all had been, and excited. It seemed weird to be going back, this time without Renamon.
"Hello in there!" Takato's voice sounded breaking Rika's train of thoughts. The sound of running feet could be heard as Takato thundered up the stairs and ran into the hideout. "Is everybody..." He started leaving off as he took in Rika's form in the dim light. "Oh. No one else is here yet huh." He said taking off his backpack and flinging it onto the floor.
"Good observation Sherlock. No it's just you and me for now. Come to think of it I'm surprised that you weren't first. This was your idea after all." Rika replied sarcastically. Not sure how to reply Takato just stood there and mumbled something about planes.
"Whatever goggle head, you're here now." Rika said smiling. Hearing the sound of feet Takato turned around to face the entrance. Reaching the top of the stairs Henry and Suzy's forms became visible.
"Hey guys." Henry said greeting his fellow tamers. Letting go of Suzy's hand he went over to the hole Guilmon made all that time ago and looked inside at the portal.
"Hi hi!" Suzy exclaimed jumping up in excitement.
"You're right there really is a digiportal here." Henry said amazed and dropped his bag against the wall.
"Of course there is, what did you think I lied or something?" Takato asked a little offended.
"No it's not that. It's just hard to believe that's all." Henry replied still staring at the digiportal.
"Yeah I know what you mean. It is hard to believe that we're really going back, that we'll get to see them again." Rika said recalling all the good times she had with Renamon.
"Am I really gonna get to see Lopmon again Henry?" Suzy asked taking her big brothers hand.
"Of course Suzy. See this thing right here? It's called a digiportal and it's going to take us to where Lopmon and Terriermon are." Henry reassured his sister.
"Ok Henry." And with that Suzy was content to sit and play with the doll she brought along.
"So how'd your parents take it Henry?" Takato asked his friend recalling that Henry never did forgive his father.
"Not very well. But then again they had no chose in the matter so it doesn't really matter. I would have left Suzy behind though except she probably would have found her own way there and then she'd be alone." Henry said looking fondly at his little sister.
"Yep that's right so don't even think bout leaving me!" Suzy's smug little voice came from the corner.
"Kazu and Kenta ready for action! Digiworld here we come!" Kazu's voice shouted out and the two appeared on the top of the stairs.
"Is everyone here yet?" Kenta asked and looked around.
"Nope Ryo and Jeri haven't gotten here yet." Rika replied her voice lingering on Ryo's name. Suddenly as if coming out of a dream she started on the two new comers. "Surprised you two even showed up on time. Thought we'd be waiting on you guys." The girl said a teasing tone to her voice.
"Hey? What do ya mean? You're the one we ended up waiting for when we came back last time. Or have you forgotten?" Kazu asked mock offended. Instead of replying Rika just started laughing setting everyone into hysterical laughter.
"What'd I miss?" Ryo's voice echoed through the hideout causing a sudden silence.
"Ryo! Figures you'd take your time to get here." Rika said teasingly.
"Well excuse me Miss Attitude I don't live near here you know." Ryo said teasing her right back as he walked into the hideout. "Well who's missing then?" Ryo asked taking his time to look around at the gathered group.
"We just need Jeri to show up now." Takato said his voice full of concern. Looking at each of his friends though Takato felt a smile slowly find its way on his face. "This is gonna be great you know that guys. Just like old times." He said a pleasant warmth spreading through his body.
"Hey guys hope I didn't keep you waiting." Jeri said reaching walking into the now crowed room. She readjusted her backpack and nervously glanced around.
"Jeri! You're here! Great, awesome now we're all here!" Takato exclaimed jumping into the air.
"Take it easy goggle head." Rika said rolling her eyes. "Don't worry bout it Jeri, there really wasn't a set time anyway." She continued with a shrug and a friendly smile.
"Okay, so are we ready to go?" Jeri asked glancing around at those present.
"Yes, yes. So let's go already! I can't wait to see Gaurdromon the big lug." Kazu said heading for the portal.
"But um guys, don't you think Impmon's tamers should come as well?" Henry asked grabbing his bag from its resting-place.
"I never thought about that. I guess they really should come too but does anyone know how to find them?" Takato asked the statement handing in the air. The tamers all just looked at one another and almost in unison shrugged.
"I don't know."
