Chapter 3. History and sweatdrops
Tamers Realm: Shinjuku.
Takato always had a strong connection to his partner. He had proved this many times, from being the first to get his partner to reach the ultimate level, to when he caused corrupt digivolution through he and his partner's shared fury and desire for retribution, and also in being the first to Bio-merge.
For this reason, the nagging feeling of distance, a sensation that his partner, his other half, was so far away... it was nearly driving him to distraction.
"Matsuda!" Takato sweatdropped. Forget nearly, it WAS driving him to distraction, as he was finding out from the make-up classes he had to take for the time he missed while in the digital world.
"Oh, teacher, I'm so sorry... its just that..." "Yes Matsuda?" came the annoyed voice of the teacher that was in charge of his make-up time. "Well, I miss my digimon partner, Guilmon..."
"Sigh, a certain amount of leniency must be allowed for someone who helped save the world, but it won't get you out of your school work, young man." The teacher said sharply. Takato sweatdropped. "Yes sir."
After school: Guilmon's shed.
"Arrgh! I just can't take it anymore! I found the digital portal right where Guilmon originally did, but even though a digi-gnome was there, I still can't get through it..." Takato let out a vexed sigh.
"Well, guess there is only one thing to do. Time to see if that digi- gnome from before is up for granting a wish." Pulling out his D-ark, Takato looked around, looking for the digi-gnome from before. Bingo! There it was.
"Please little guy, I need your help. Could you please help me get to my partner some how?" The small digital wish-granter giggled and nodded. "Really?" asked Takato hopefully.
A sudden brilliant light from his D-ark blinded the 11-year-old. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the compass mode had a new feature... Gate Locator. He was a bit shocked. His D-ark's compass had only ever led him to enemies and Guilmon before.
Suddenly the compass lit up, pointing north. "Oh yeah!" shouted Takato. It was time to get the tamers together... for a road trip. After all, he had a promise to keep...
Chosen Realm: Odaiba.
Silence. There was a lot of it as the chosen and the two tamer's digimon tried to fully digest what they had learned from each other. The best way to put it was that they all were slightly numb.
The group now included six more chosen. Joining the newer generation in this meeting were Tai Kamiya, Matt Ishida, Joe Kido, Izzy Izumi, Sora Takenouchi and Mimi Tachikawa.
'There is no way.' Thought Renamon. 'How could my tamer have NOT heard about a giant digital field here in Odaiba? For that matter, how could these children have NOT heard of a giant red blob taking over Shinjuku?'
'Bread. Peanut butter. Guilmon bread. HUNGRY.' Guilmon thought, as a small amount of drool dripped from his mouth. He simply could not focus when he was hungry.
"Is it possible? Did we all miss such a huge and obvious attack on our world?" said Sora, breaking the silence. Her reply was silence. No one knew what to say, or even think.
Yolei broke the silence once again. "I think we should go down to Shinjuku and beat the tar out of these tamer people. How dare they delete so many digimon!" she snapped. "Digimon are living creatures, they have rights too!"
"Yes." Renamon replied. "We digimon do have rights. However, hurting humans is not one of them. We do not have your ability to freely access the digital world. Therefore, we had to delete the digimon in order to protect people from them." Renamon added. "I intend to go find Rika, and then bring her here to Odaiba as soon as possible, so she can learn this technique of sending a digimon back to the digital world."
"It's still not right!" snarled Yolei, refusing to back down completely. "I'll never consider deleting digimon to be right!" She glared daggers at these digimon that had been responsible for deleting so many.
"Why are you all fighting?" asked Guilmon. "Takatomon is very far away. I think he is farther than I have walked since I was born. That's what I feel anyway." the dino said.
"You mean Takato isn't just a day's run south of here?" asked Renamon, dreading a yes, since it would mean Rika was not likely to be either.
"Nope, Takato is much further. So far that I can't tell what direction." Snuffled a slightly unhappy Guilmon. He was hungry and he missed Takato. This day was not going well for him.
Tai and Matt shared a look of worry from each side of Sora. The two often-competitive best friends were both worried that whatever was going on was going to lead to trouble. And if this Takato kid was the super powerful rookie's partner, then they had hoped to have him around.
"Since no one else has a better idea, I e-mailed Gennai. Maybe he can tell us what is going on," said Izzy, putting in his two cents, "he may even be able to find these Takato and Rika persons." He added as he typed away on his laptop.
This brought most of the conversation to an end. Except the part of the conversation where Mimi, connected via web-cam and microphone, talked to Sora about fashion.
Guilmon followed Agumon, and they both began emptying the refrigerator into their mouths.
Tamers Realm: Shinjuku.
Takato liked being around Rika. Her presence him feel more alive somehow. Well, usually at least. Not this time. No, this time, her fist was in front of his face, and he was certain he would not live to see tomorrow.
"Gogglehead! What the heck are you doing coming to my house?" she snapped. He sweatdropped. "Uh, coming to come talk to you." he replied a bit hesitantly.
"About what Goggles? And this had better be good." Rika briefly considered kicking him, but decided against it. How did he always manage to avoid the worst of her anger? She could never seem to stay angry at the kindly klutz. Sigh might as well listen to what he had to say.
A quick demonstration of his new compass mode, and before you knew it, Rika's hands were all over him. Uh, his throat that is.
"How long have you been able to do this Gogglehead?" She raged. "I'm going to kill you for making me think I would never see Renamon again!" She wanted to kill something, and he was the closest target. Yet somehow, her hands just refused to finish the job...
"I... just... gkk... got... this... today... gakkhhk!!" She dropped him as she heard his answer. If he was alone... and he just got this new compass mode today... then she was the first person he was telling! She turned around immediately, hoping his head had not yet recovered enough blood for his eyes to see the blush that she knew had formed on her cheeks.
"Oh, uh, sorry Gogglehead." she said. "No... Problem." he answered, still a bit winded. "Come on. We need to go tell the others, then we can all plan a trip to the digital world." he said. "Right Goggles. Lets go." Rika answered, having gotten control of her blush.
