-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rika fell to the ground, not knowing what happened. She looked around and tried to remember what just happened. Then it hit her. I was about to cross the road when someone shouted out my name. I turned around and saw...oh my gosh, she thought. "Ryo!" shouted Rika, running towards his almost lifeless body. She checked if he was breathing. Barely, she thought. "Someone call the ambulance, NOW!" Rika shouted, looking around to see if anyone watching was doing anything. Do I have to do everything? She thought, pulling out her cell phone.

"EMS center, how may I help..." the operator started, before being cut off by Rika.

"Cut the crap, lady! My friend is hurt very badly and he's not doing so well on his breathing. Hurry and get an ambulance here, on the road near Shinjuku park, now!" Rika yelled through the phone, with all the passers, staring. Ryo, you have to stop risking your life for me, thought Rika, looking at his helpless body.

Few minutes later, the ambulance arrived.

"It's about time you got here!" Rika yelled, shaking the paramedic.

"Okay, Okay. We need to get back to the hospital...we're losing valuable time," the paramedic explained.

Rika hopped into the back of the truck and called her mom to tell the others to meet her at Shinjuku Hospital. Moments later, the truck arrived at the hospital and Ryo was rushed into the ER. Rika had to wait in the waiting room. The others soon got there with Rika's Mom and grandma, wanting to know if Ryo was all right.

Hours past and still there were no response from the doctors. The door opened, but only revealed Ryo's dad. The tamers couldn't help, but wonder the worst-case scenarios.

"Did the doctors say anything about Ryo yet?" asked Ryo's dad, with a worried and distraught look.

"No, they didn't even come in yet." Rumiko explained.

Rika then remembered what caused this. Her dad. She asked, "Mom, what happened to dad?"

"Oh, he left, and planning on never coming back," her mother said, smiling.

Rika sighed and gave a weak smile back. Then, the doctor came in.

"You are here for Ryo Akiyama, correct?" asked the doctor, looking at everyone in the room. They nodded. "About time. I had to go through 4 other rooms to find you. Anyway, Ryo seems to have slipped into a coma. He has a few broken ribs and many scratches and bruises. For now, we don't know what might happen. We've done all we can for now and we'll be monitoring him carefully," the doctor explained, flipping through the clipboard.

"Can we see him?" asked Rika.

"Of course. He's in room 142," doctor said.

Rika was the first one to run out the door to see Ryo.

"Wonder what got her in a hurry?" Seiko wondered, following the rest of the tamers to Ryo's room.

"Huh? Where am I?" asked Ryo, in a very dark, cold place. He seemed to hover in the endless space. Everywhere he turned, he'd see the same endless blackness

"You are in the Land of Fate," answered a voice.

"What? How did I get here?" Ryo asked with a confused look, staring into nowhere, trying to pinpoint where the voice came from. Ryo then remembered the last thing that happened. I followed Rika and saved her from getting run over by that truck, thought Ryo. Then, a disturbing thought dawned on him.

"Does this mean…I'm dead?" Ryo asked.
