The destruction was horrid. Everything was in ruins. The villages were mere burned

up skeletons of the once joyful and happy sanctuary. Rika almost lost it. She felt a deep

ache inside as she walked quietly past the destruction. Few digimon here and there

walked around trying to help those who were in much more pain then they were in at the

time. Rika walked on and found her friends, T.k., Kari, Takato, Henry, Jeri, Kazu and

Kenta. She ran towards them alarmed. "Are you guys ok?" she asked not showing a

hint of emotion. Jeri looked up and started to bawl. "Oh Rika! The destruction! It's so

horrible!" With that she started to cry even harder and hugged Rika. Her whole body

tensed up. "Jeri let go." She said in an almost dangerous whisper. Surprised Jeri

automatically let go. "Who did this?!" Rika said angrily. A small digimon about the size

of piximon came up to her. "They call them selves "Malus" mum'. The small digimon

said shyly. Henry looked thoughtful. "Malus? Isn't that the word for evil in Latin?"

T.k. nodded in agreement. "It is." The small digimon said. "They aren't Digimon

though..." it whispered quietly. "And they aren't human either. They are something in

between." It said with a frightened expression on its face. "What do you mean

something in between?" Rika said angrily. She was really starting to get fed up. Right

now she wanted to hurt the person that did this. In this case the "thing" that did this. "It

is more then one mum. It is three." With that it disappeared.

It had been weeks since the destruction of the village. Each digidestined and

tamers made a type of lie about staying over so and so's house or going on a school trip

or what not. They all said they're lies and packed up for the digital world. For weeks

they trained in many difficult skills. It was hard on all of them but they did it anyways.

Kari, Henry, Jeri still thought that talking it out was better then actually having to fight

with blood shed. But they trained just to be ready so that when push came to shove

they would be ready. Takato was somewhere in between and Kazu and Kenta just didn't

care enough to actually pick sides. Rika still stood on her decision on fighting till death.

Soon they had a type of army. If you can call it that. Each tamer/destined had their

own special weapon. Kari was better at the Bow and arrow then Jeri who was better at

the Spear. Takato was better at the sword then the spear or the arrow. So was Henry.

But he preferred hands on fighting then using a weapon unless seriously needed too.

Kazu and kenta weren't really good at anything. Unless really having to they tried to

stay out of the way cause during the training they ended up hurting their fellow fighters

more then hurting the supposed enemy. But when needed to they showed some sign of

improvement in using the crossbows. Well at least they managed not to hurt one of there

teammates when using it. Rika surprisingly was well trained at using two Double-

edged daggers. Oddly enough when Rika was found having quiet a talent in using them

murmurs were heard around the camp. Confused but not really caring she ignored it.

Three days before their supposed "attack" on the enemy Kazu and Kenta made a

Surprising find.

Rika had been training hard with renamon. First with the double- edged daggers

then with the cards. They also timed themselves on trying to biomerge as fast as

possible. They had been in the middle of trying to dodge each other's attacks when an

over exited Kazu came running out of breath towards Rika.

"Rika! You'll never believe who we found! Come on!" One word came to mind Malus.

Rika ran towards the area of Kazu's "find" only to find out it wasn't the ultimate

evil. It was just an ultimate pain in the ass.

"Ryo." She said in a disgusted voice. "What are you doing here?"

"Hey Wildcat! Surprised to see me?"

"More like annoyed. What are you doing here? Don't you even no how much danger your in if you come here unprepared?! Do you even no what this place is?!" she was angry and she was going to give him a piece of her mind.

Ryo held up his hands and said, "Whoa slow down. This isn't my first time here. I have a digimon and I always come prepared. Yes of course I know what's going on and I came here to fight!"

Henry whispered, "I knew it!"

With that Kazu and Kenta squealed.

Kazu: this is the happiest day of my life!

Kenta: The king has finally come!

Rika couldn't take anymore she was so angry. She marched off back to her training and

continued to fight with Renamaon. With each punch, kick and what not she always

imagined her opponent as Ryo. Which of course caused her to fight even harder.

' I cannot believe the nerve of that guy! Arghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! He makes me so angry!'

with that she stopped fighting and told Renamon to take a break. Rika was about to go and wash up when she heard screams of "Watch out!" Behind her. She turned around and saw an arrow coming towards her. With her quick reflexes she ducked and the arrow missed her by an inch. All of a sudden she felt as if she did this once before.

*Flashback*

She closed her eyes and braced herself for death. But it never came. She

opened her eyes to find Rio standing protectively in front of her. She winced when she

saw the arrow coming out of his chest. She screamed when he collapsed in front of her.

Tears came pouring out of her eyes. Sobbing uncontrollably she caressed his face and

murmured, "Please don't leave me Rio! I love you so much please! You promised you

wouldn't leave!" She cried as she kissed his lips. Rio mumbled painfully, "Ruki I'm

sorry for not keeping my promise. We'll see each other soon someday. I promise

nothing will stop me from loving you." "No" Ruki whispered as she kissed Rio on the

lips over and over again. Rio let out a gasp as he closed his eyes forever.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ruki screamed.

*End flash back*

Ruki opened her eyes and gasped. When she got up Kazu, Kenta, and the rest of the

gang ran towards her.

"Rika I am seriously sorry! I swear I wasn't trying to kill you! It was an accident! Please don't kill me!" Kazu pleaded pathetically.

Rika rubbed her head. Annoyed she yelled,

"Kazu shut up! I don't care! And the next time you shoot that thing do it far away from me! Better yet don't use that thing at all!" with that she marched off. 'That dream felt so real. What did it mean?' With that she walked over to her campsite.
