Review response
Enigma of Despair : Okay, the first part of what you said, it went straight over my head. The second part, well, I will work on improving it more. Sorry.
QuestionDeca : not quite the dark ocean…. I'll leave that at that, and cool way to look at Beelzemon.
KittyKMae : I can appreciate the skepticism on Rika, but the only time she cries up to this point is when Renamon is taken back to the digital world, so she kinda flipped out when she assumed that she hadn't needed to be sad. On the other note, thank you very much for pointing out my grammar errors, I will revise and fix it all soon.
Kayano : Yes I will keep on working on it, but at a slower pace, since I have a job now. Realm of Light shows up in this chapter, you will see soon. Remember, since I rebuilt the story, there are no quadrants other than in the tamers Digital world, which contains all 4 of them.
Psycho King : Don't forget about Deathmon's Dimensional Gaze ability. And I intend to rectify the missing arm problem soon anyway.
Annon. 6:6:6 : Thanks, characterization compliments are rare, and I like them, and I hope your right about me getting better.
Peter Kim : 2 out of 3 aint bad, right? Pay attention to make sure you find out which 2 are. And no, it doesn't. Hehe…
Saber-Lightning : Patience padawan, patience…..
Viewtiful John, Genbo, Xtremequeen666 : I didn't forget you guys, just couldn't think of anything specific to say about your reviews.
Thanks for the reviews all of you.
Dimension Hoppers, Chapter 7 : Sarcasm, craters, and Demons
Realm of Chaos : Real world.
The tamers stood together at the entrance of a summer camp, all except Ryo with a massive sweatdrop on their head. "There is no way that an interdimensional portal is in a summer camp…" Henry deadpanned.
Takato's sweatdrop doubled in size and he said, "M-maybe my D-ark is broken?" he shook it experimentally. He could feel Rika glaring a hole in the back of his head.
"Oh yea of little faith," Ryo said with mock sadness, "the portal is just at the far outskirts, it corresponds to a portal to the digital world that is in the other world. All we need to do from here," he said a bit self importantly, "is go to the shrine on top of that hill over there and my D-ark, and a little device I have, that should get us going."
For a moment everyone simply stared at Ryo, trying to let everything he had just told them sink in. They were all kind of new to interdimensional travel and were trying to regain their bearings. Rika was the first to break out of the momentary stupor, and broke everyone else out with her cry of, "Well? What are we waiting for?"
Nearly as one, all eyes regained their focus, and turned towards the hill that was their target, and feet began a purposeful stride towards it.
Within a few minutes, they had reached the crest of the hill, revealing the aforementioned shrine. Ryo stepped forward, and his pulled an armband identical to the one he had before the D-reaper destroyed his last one, and put it on.
"Since I am the only guy that can beat Milleniumon, my digivice, now a D-ark, has special properties," Ryo began explaining a bit smugly,
"That by itself is not enough to travel between dimensions if I need to catch up to him, but a guy named Gennai that I met in the other world gave me one of these armguards and taught me how to make another if the original was damaged or destroyed," he stated.
Ryo put his hand underneath the end of the armguard nearest his elbow, and pushed up. The red section on the outside of the device and the oval steel gray piece rose up away from the rest of the armguard. He pulled out his D-ark and inserted it in the end near his elbow.
The end of the raised portion nearest his wrist started to glow white. "The armguard is pretty tough, but it really acts as a means to use a portal between dimensions that Milleniumon may have opened to follow him" he finished his explanation.
The white glow solidified into an orb of white energy. "I don't really understand how it works, but I do know that it does, from experience, now hold up your D-arks!" Ryo said, "Dimension Portal Activate!" he shouted with confidence.
A white glow enshrouded everything, and when it faded, the tamers were gone.
Chosen Realm : Digital World.
At that moment, the digidestined were walking along, with partners and two guests in tow, towards a nearby TV out of the digital world. In front of them was 150 yards of open space to reach the TV
It was not meant to be. From out of the sky came a series of what seemed to be comets. Kari sweatdropped, "That is way too reminiscent of how they got here," she said, pointing at Guilmon and Renamon.
The comet like objects slammed into the ground, and tossed up a large cloud of smoke. "Well, at least we are alive," Takato croaked out from the bottom of the pile of tamers. The tamers as a group got up, and were just in time for the dust to clear to see a group of twelve kids in front of them.
For a stunned moment, both parties simply stared at one another, then as one, every voice but one rose, most in question, some in shock, and for very few, in joy.
Unnoticed by any but a begoggled boy in a blue sweatshirt, was the huge red streak, moving at speeds that drag racers could be jealous of, that knocked him backwards multiple feet and onto his back.
At the same time, Rika felt a presence behind her, and turned to see a tall bipedal fox standing behind her, looking at her with a tiny but noticeable smile on it's face.
In the background, a slight wailing could be heard in the form of Susie, who was scared and disorientated from everything that was going on.
And on the sidelines, Ryo stood, with his hands over his ears, but a grin on his face.
Suddenly a large black object slammed into the ground between the half arguing half-questioning groups, bringing about a stunned silence. It slowly stood, revealing the form of Beelzemon.
Beelzemon started mumbling something undeniably nasty under his breath, before the demon lord was suddenly hit by a large gray object that appeared to have followed him out of the sky.
The Behemoth righted itself and motored off to the side, just in time for a snarling string of profanity to leave a certain demon lord's mouth.
As though it was the firing of a gun at the starting line, every voice started speaking at once, forming a cacophony of sound that could drive even a deaf person insane. Twenty-eight voices speaking all at once, loudly, hoping to be heard… it was reminiscent of a school bus full of kindergarteners.
On the sidelines, 6 beings stood watching. Takato and Guilmon, Rika and Renamon, Ryo, and Cody, who was watching Armadillomon make noise with much embarrassment.
Unknown Realm : Digital World.
Lilithmon loved being a demoness digimon. After all, she could do anything she wanted, including torture, killing, destruction, theft, cheating, fighting dirty… she had free reign.
Unfortunately, being a demon lady also meant being hunted down by powerful digimon, and that was the one thing that was greatly vexing her right now.
In front of her was her greatest problem at this time. SlashAngemon... chrome-digizoid armor, long lethal blades, a massive advantage of holy versus evil… yup, she was in trouble.
Her Phantom Pain attack was powerful, allowing her to make a digimon feel the same pain as another digimon of equal level. However, it would be useless, since she was unable to inflict her own pain upon others.
Her Nazar Nail attack was unlikely to harm the chrome-digizoid armored digimon in front of her enough to make it useful, if it was able to hurt him at all.
But then, in her moment of grim fear of deletion, her opponent looked past her, and started backing away. She turned, and saw a startling sight in the air only a few feet behind her.
A massive eye composed of inky black energy. From the eye, two figures emerged. "I told you I mastered my new Dimensional Gaze ability!" hissed an oddly one armed Deathmon, "as you can plainly see, our sister stands before us!"
"So I can see, you were correct," boomed the deep voice of the massive Leviamon that followed, "Shall we assist her in ridding this world of such an annoyance as him?" he questioned, pointing a be-clawed limb at the shocked mega level digimon beyond Lilithmon.
"No, we have more important things to do. We three alone are not enough, we must find a fourth," Deathmon hissed in reply, "then we shall be ready."
"Very well," he grunted irritably, "Will you be joining us sister?" he addressed to Lilithmon. "There is much we would like to speak of with you," he grinned toothily.
"Don't even think about running from me! I will defeat all of you unholy terrors!" SlashAngemon suddenly snapped in his echoing holy tones.
"Hn, he seems quite determined to rush to his doom brethren, certainly we could spare a moment to defeat one such light-bearer as him?" questioned Leviamon.
"Very well," sighed Deathmon, "but we must be cautious, my power is weakened from Beelzemon's betrayal, and yours alone will have a difficult time against a holy foe such as he."
Leviamon smirked, then took a few short steps forward to stand beside Lilithmon. "You underestimate what our sister can do to assist," he chuckled menacingly, "sister, you know what to do, correct?"
Lilithmon smirked, understanding completely. Her silence had been to judge the two before her and she had determined that they indeed were her brethren. "Absolutely Brethren. Fight at your leisure," She grinned cruelly as she responded.
Wasting no time, Leviamon attacked. "Seven Great Demon Lords!" he bellowed. The seven spirits headed straight for the hovering angel digimon. However, SlashAngemon almost contemptuously zoomed off to the side before the attack could hit its mark.
In a display of both speed and power, SlashAngemon streaked forward towards Leviamon and unleashed his attack. "Golden Ripper!" he shouted, and a pair of golden crescent waves slammed forward and into Leviamon's back, causing the demon lord to groan in pain.
"Phantom Pain!" This had been just the opening Lilithmon had been waiting for, and as her attack took effect, the mighty angel digimon writhed in the agony inflicted by his own attack.
"Seven Great Demon Lords!" roared Leviamon, and his attack flew forward, the seven spirits hungry for the chance to destroy the holy digimon in front of them.
The angel never even noticed, busy trying to understand where it's pain was coming from. The seven spirits hammered into the winged soldier of light and he suddenly had odd rings of code surrounding him. Lilithmon quickly took flight and swept upwards to the fallen warrior, before holding out her hand and seemingly finishing off the mortally wounded angel.
"Well, that was quick. I am impressed sister! I underestimated you," Deathmon stated in his hissing voice, "Now, shall we take our leave of the useless world?" he finished.
A quick nod from the heads of a demon lord and demon lady, and soon all three were gone, as was the black eye the first two had come from.
Realm of Light : Digital World.
Two groups of children looked at each other. One group had 3 digimon with them, the other group a full dozen. "Takatomon, why are we staring at them?" Guilmon questioned. Takato sweatdropped.
On the sidelines Ryo watched, amused, a little bit worried, and most of all wondering why none of the destined had noticed him. 'I hate being ignored,' he groused in his head.
Tai and Davis looked at each other for a second, then stepped forward towards the other group together. Seeing this, Rika and Henry looked at each other for a second, then shoved Takato forward.
"Hey! What was that for?" he whined, breaking the silence. Henry just slapped his forehead. Kazu and Kenta snickered quietly, and Ryo sweatdropped from the sidelines.
"We figured you should go meet your fellow gogglehead, Gogglehead," Rika smirked, referring to Davis, "besides, you're the nice one, you can go talk to them… with Henry's help," she said before pushing him forward too.
Takato and Henry shared a glance for a second before, in their most sarcastic voices, saying, "Thanks, Rika," at the same time.
"Your welcome Gogglehead, Brainiac," she responded just as sarcastically, "and next time I don't want to have to shove you out there…"
"Funny, she seems to be in charge, why isn't she coming out here to speak?" asked Tai half sarcastically half seriously. Davis nodded in agreement from beside him.
"Oh she just doesn't like people in general," answered Henry slightly sarcastically, "she generally just barely tolerates us," he finished.
"Shut up Brainiac, or I will make sure you never have children," snapped Rika, with only a little bit of sarcasm, "I want to know what the heck is going on, try to find that out, not act like your stupid Rabbitmon."
"Fine, fine!" Henry placated, before turning back to the unknowns across from him, "Could you tell us where we are? Ryo said we could get to the digital world from here, wherever here is, but we are kinda confused since Guilmon and Renamon are already here…" he finished.
"You're trying to get to the digital world and you don't know where you are?" asked Davis, "Wow, even I know that! You're in the digital world!" he proceeded to grin as though he had just solved everyone's problems.
Everyone sweatdropped except him.
"Davis… you remember how Renamon and Guilmon told us about a totally different digital world… maybe they are trying to get to that one?" Izzy said in the background.
"Oh! Okay, gotcha. In that case, I have no idea how to help you, but since you guys are friends of Guilmon, who is super cool just like V-mon, you can count on me to back you up all the way!" Davis exclaimed excitedly.
Suddenly Susie spoke up for the first time since they had arrived. "Is the cwazy kid wrelated to the angwy kid, Henry?" she asked, "They both got goggles," she added.
Everyone except Susie face-faulted.
Please Review.
This is the picture (URL without spaces of course) that I used to think up what Ryo's armguard could do, and how to make it work. Look at it and you should understand the explanation of how the parts move(if you didn't already understand it). I had to come up with something a little bit better than the miracle solution with the bright lights and rainbow prominence for once, even if it is a bit far-fetched.
