Rika sat close to the fire. Jeri was gone… She had been her first friend. A weird one but one that cared and trusted Rika with everything. No word could describe the agony, grief and Anger that Rika felt as she looked into the flames. Bitter tears rolled down her face.
Takato didn't deserve death either. He had so much hope for the future. Out of all of them he had the biggest goals in life. Malus was going to pay and Rika would make sure of it. She impatiently wiped away the tears.
The others had tried to comfort her but each one of them felt the slow grief of losing friends. She heard steady footsteps behind her and turned around. Alice was standing there holding two cups of what appeared to be tea.
"Can I sit there?"
"Go ahead.' Rika murmured under her breath.
Handing Rika one of the cups Alice sat down trying to make herself more comfortable.
"They didn't deserve it. Out of all of us they had the biggest dreams and goals." Rika said hating herself for the unwelcome tears that started rolling down her face.
Alice sighed unhappily as she set her cup down next to her.
"Rika nobody deserves death."
"Malus does." Rika cut in angrily.
"No Rika not even Malus. Something is wrong in his head he's insane. But he still doesn't deserve death." Alice sighed.
"Yes he does." Rika spat angrily.
"Whatever Tomato Tamato same difference. But what I meant to say was maybe wherever Jeri and Takato are they're happy and together." Alice suggested quietly. Rika turned her head away.
"You don't understand Alice nobody does." With that she got up and headed back for camp.
Alice sat there frustrated and sad.
"Goddess …You guys just had to leave when we needed you the most huh?" Alice asked wiping away a stray tear. Breathing heavily she slowly relaxed letting her skin soak up the warmth of the fire. She stared into the fire wiling it to wrap a protective cloak like blanket covering most of her with its warm flames.
Last year if somebody told her she would be going on a dangerous adventure with supernatural powers given to her she would have called them crazy and laughed in their face, but now she was thankful as the flames enveloped her completely. If someone walked by they would have thought she was burning to death. She chuckled to herself that is until a familiar voice called out to her.
"Alice?…Alice! Can you her me?"
She jumped about a foot into the air when she saw Jeri's head staring at her two inches away from her face.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!-Ack!" she sputtered and coughed as she drank in a mouthful of ash.
"Alice! Are you ok? Hurry I don't have much time!" Jeri frantically called to her.
"Oh my goddess…" Alice whispered quietly. "It finally happened, everything Kazu said was true I've finally lost my marbles…"
Jeri looked at Alice like she was an idiot and reached out to her.
Shaking her lightly she screamed, "Alice I don't have much time! Malus tricked you! I'm not really dead!"
"Oh man now I know I'm crazy." Alice kept muttering under her breath.
Jeri ignored her last remark and continued as if she was never interrupted.
"He gave you the illusion of Takato and me dying! While my copy was distracting you guys He took away my soul. When Takato reached for me something unexpected happened and he followed me through a vortex landing us straight into Malus' dungeon!
He did something to my powers so for weeks I couldn't do anything until today because he left the castle. He's planning something!" She screamed the last few words out when Alice started to cry.
"I miss you. We all thought you were dead." She whispered her pain evident in her voice.
Jeri looked at her with an equally matched look of sorrow.
"I missed you too. Alice listen to me this is important he's planning on killing Ryo to get to Rika! Don't ask me why cause I have no idea. Oh no! I think he's coming back! Listen tell Rika to go to Wizardmon and ask for the Lunarian Pendent of heaven and earth! Tell her it's important!"
Jeri seemed almost desperate now.
"What if they don't believe me?" Alice asked frantically.
"Go to my grave! Tell Kari not to-" Jeri was cut of and Alice flew back away from the fire sliding to a stop a few feet away sprawled on her back. She felt bruised as if someone kicked her all over.
She bounced back onto her feet calling out desperately.
'Jeri? Jeri! Tell her not to what? Tell her not to what!" But the fire went out and there was know sign of Jeri anywhere.
Alice got up quickly and took a running leap into the camp where she hysterically called out to the others. Once they got there Henry reached for her.
"What is it? What's wrong?" He asked fearfully.
"I saw her! She came to me!" Alice screamed.
"Who?" Kari asked.
"Jeri came! She's still alive!"
The others looked at her like she was crazy.
"I think you need a nice cup of herbal tea and a small nap I'll take over you shift Alice." T.K. murmured softly.
"You have to believe me!" She screamed and started to cry from frustration and relief.
Before anyone could stop her she ran to Takato and Jeri's graves and started digging with her bare hands.
Ryo warily told the others to get a blanket and some tea for her while Henry and him slowly crept towards her so as not to scare her off.
Alice screamed when she saw them coming. So much for not scaring her off. She turned to Rika and desperately pleaded to her for help.
"Please Rika you have got to believe me! Please use your powers! Please!"
Ryo impatiently whispered to Rika, "If it makes her happy just do it! I think she gave me a bruise on the groin to last me a lifetime.
Rika sighed. 'Four friends dead and now a friend that's gone and lost her mind. Just great that's exactly what I need to end my day.' Rolling her eyes she slowly lifted her arms up into the air willing the earth to move. With a great rumbling sigh, part of the ground lifted away and settled itself four feet away from it's usual spot revealing Jeri and Takato's graves. Rika turned away too hurt to watch what would happen. Without another word Alice climbed down and started to open the casket. Henry tried to stop her.
'Alice! Their dead! Stop! Don't you know how much this is hurting me? Seeing you like this?" Alice looked up at Henry surprised and a little peeved.
She flung him off her and pushed the lid off the casket. What was inside shocked everyone even Alice who new originally what was going to be in there in the first place.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&()&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Ha Ha fooled you didn't I? Do you really think this is the end after I didn't update for that long? No way! Lol here's more:
Nothing. There were no bones, any Hair, teeth, or even a single piece of their clothing. Nothing but air. A collective gasp came from the group as Alice continued to open the second casket.
Once she was done she got out of the hole and started to dust herself off.
"I told you!" She said triumphantly.
Rika slowly walked over to the graves and touched the inside of the caskets.
"Oh my god…"
Alice grinned," Now lets go find them you guys."
The others turned around and left one by one smiling and laughing joyfully. But Rika didn't notice. For the first time in a long time she gave a cheerful smile.
Ryo gently placed his hand onto her shoulder and she turned around and hugged him hard. He looked down at her surprised, their lips inches away. They were both shy and cautious as if it were their first kiss all over again. Their lips finally met and the kiss was a sweet rush at first then it turned into a fiery burning passion that only stopped when they let go for air.
When Ryo looked around he was surprised to see no one was there. He looked at Rika. She gave a slight shrug and laughed at Ryo's adorably confused look. She gently stroked his cheek. He kissed the tips of her fingers and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her towards him for another kiss. There was nothing but them caught in the passion of the moment.

They had all decided to start out in the morning since it was too dangerous at night. Each one of the Tamers took turns taking baths in the near by stream. When they were all finished Alice started to tell them her conversation with Jeri.
"So I was thinking Rika, maybe it'll be safer for you if you just stay-"
"No. Alice I'm not about to stay behind just because some idiotic psycho freak wants to kill me. No I'm not backing out. I'm no wimp."
Alice sighed defeated while Ryo's face contorted with worry.
Rika temper started to rise.
"Guys relax I'll be fine I'm a fighter remember?"
"How can we forget?" Ryo muttered under his breath. The others laughed as Rika got up to ask Wizardmon for the pendent Alice was talking about.

The hut was dark and looked abandoned. For a second Rika was hesitant about going inside. She mentally kicked herself and scowled.
'Come on Rika! You've battled how many scary looking Digimon without a beat and you're scared of the dark? Where's the strong fighter everyone is terrified of?'
She squared her shoulders and went inside.
"Wizardmon? Helllloooooo!" Rika continued to walk inside until she found an old oil lamp. Turning it on the whole room was visible in the warm light.
She was walking around the small room when she tripped over something small landing hard on her face. She got up and thanked whatever god was up there for not letting her drop the lamp.
Then started cursing from the pain of the fall. Rika looked down and found a medium sized chest with ancient carvings on its lid. Next to it was a pink slip of paper, which stood out from everything else around it. Rika picked it up and started to read the note.
My Dearest Tamers and Destined,
Forgive me for leaving you but I feel you know longer need me. I am so proud of all of you for coming so far with your training. I have left some materials you would need for you're long journey. You have my blessings and your training. Good luck my tamers. I know you'll destroy Malus. Until we meet again,
Wizardmon
Rika quietly slipped the note into her back pocket, a deep chill entering her heart. For the first time she felt a strong urge to cry. But she didn't for the ice queen never cried.
"Renamon?" She whispered hoarsely.
Renamon appeared standing up straight and regal.
"Yes Rika?"
"Is it a sign of weakness to feel fear?"
"No. It is a sign of weakness to run away from your fears but to face your fears would be considered quite courageous."
"Oh."
"Is anything the matter Rika?"
"Well no...Just... Wizardmon left.... "
"I know. He thought you were ready, and I know you are ready, you have nothing to fear."
"I'm not scared just...I don't know. It kind of feels like pain only...deeper?" Rika had no idea why she said the next words that came tumbling out of her mouth but wasn't regretful when she said it, only confused.
"When my dad left me and my mom I felt like I'm feeling now."
Renamon was taken aback. All the years she had been Rika's partner never had she thought Rika would open up to her like this. She had the sudden urge to hug her and tell her everything was going to be ok, but instead she just gently placed her paw on Rika's shoulder.
Rika looked up surprised and gave her a small smile. Renamon gave her a silent reassurance that everything was going to be fine.
"I think I should open this on my own I'll call you when I need your help ok Renamon?"
Renamon gave her a slight nod and vanished without a trace, as if she was never really there in the first place.
Rika stood there in a daze for a couple seconds then she grasped the latch and flung open the chest. She looked inside the chest and let out a whistle.
Inside where beautifully hand made weapons ranging from silver daggers to crossbows even swords! Each one had a small engraving, which Rika didn't notice right away.
It was amazing to see that the chest was a lot deeper then it first appeared to be and Rika had a slight suspicion that it had something to do with magic.
She also noticed there was something wrapped in a white package at the bottom of the chest. Picking it up she opened to find the same necklace she saw the day she first stepped into Wizardmon's hut and an old hard covered book.
Figuring the medallion was the one Alice was talking about she put it on and slid the book into a small brown leather bag she had found while exploring the hut.
She gently put the weapons back into the chest, closed the latch and went outside. Smiling because for once she actually felt a tiny bit optimistic.
