Digimon Access: A New Season
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. If I did, I would probably be rolling in the cash instead of writing odd fan fiction. What I do own are the original card names, but I wouldn't mind if they got made into real cards. :D
A/N: Hi again! Thanks for coming back (or skipping the first chapter) :D Quick responses to reviews-
Starauthor23- Glad you liked the first chapter! (Cheerful that someone likes the story thus far!) I hope your life becomes less hectic in the coming months. :D
Anonymous- Wow my first flame! Anyway, I don't think the series mentioned the Digimon coming back after 6 months in the dub. If they did, I guess I forgot, so just run with it please, it doesn't make much difference to the plot anyway. Or better yet, imagine that the setting takes place somewhere in between that six month transition period. In the series, Susie doesn't appear that old, so I'm going to give her more of a childlike personality. And lastly, I will introduce more of the older tamer(s). I have to leave room for new tamers though, as promised in the summary. As they say, patience is a virtue. Thanks for the attentive input; I'll consider them in the coming chapters.
Okay, that's done. Enjoy the chapter folks, and review if you have the time :D
Episode 2: Playing with… Flares?
Rika: In the previous episode, Takato found a digital field reopening in Shinjuku Central Park. Takato and I watched as a mysterious brown Digimon began to bioemerge, fearing that it might be something comparable to the D-Reaper. Meanwhile, Henry and Susie, at home, spy a huge gust of wind stirring up in the park. Will they make it to us in time or will we have to face this new potential threat by ourselves? All this- in today's episode of Digimon. Di Di Di…D> I> G> I> M> O> N> A> C> C> E> S> S>
Rika glanced over to her companion and saw the fear in Takato's eyes. She decided to take action. After all, she had an agenda to meet, and it definitely did not involve the death of either of them. For a second, Rika wondered what she could do. She watched almost transfixed at the brown appendage that had now revealed itself enough to grow into a brown arm. It was definitely a Digimon. She snapped herself out of the daze; she had arrived at an idea.
"Did you bring your cards," Rika asked keenly.
"Rika, I don't think this is the right time to trade," replied the worried Takato as he watched a brown metal torso emerge from the field.
"No goggle head," she said exasperatedly. "Have you tried swiping cards in your D-Power since the day our Digimon left?"
"No, why?" he asked.
"Maybe we should try now."
"That'll be useless. We don't have Digimon modify anymore, remember?"
"Well, it's worth a shot," she snapped. "Look, we have to do something! Besides, we were able to biomerge with our Digimon, so maybe the cards will work in our favor."
"Okay, I'm in," he said doubtfully. "What should we try?"
"A shield card," she replied.
Takato almost fell over with embarrassment. "I don't have shield cards in my deck," he cried.
Rika searched her deck for two cards. "Use this then," she said quickly tossing Takato a card. A Digimon card spun in Rika's hand. She swiftly swiped it through her digivice.
"Digimodify! Crystal Defense activate!" A soft blue aura emerged from Rika and somehow generated a light bluish crystal barrier between herself and the digital portal.
"What are you waiting for? Use the card I gave you!" Rika said.
"Here goes nothing. Digimodify! Gallant Shield activate!" A slight red aura fizzed from Takato, but nothing happened. Takato confirmed it.
"Rika! It didn't work!"
"You've got to believe that it'll work! Try again Takato!"
It was the first time, in a very long time that Rika had called him by his actual name. He was suddenly aware of her friendship, seeing it in the card she gave him, and in her consideration for his safety. He looked at the card he held more closely. The picture looked almost like the shield that Gallantmon used in battling. A renewed sense of life entered his body.
"Digimodify! Gallant Shield activate!" A flash of red light shot from Takato and generated an impressive crimson and silver shield. It floated into Takato's waiting hands.
"Wow it worked!" He turned to face Rika. "Thanks," he smiled.
Rika gave him a slight nod. She would never say it in public, but Takato wasn't a half-bad friend. The two watched as the rest of the brown Digimon emerged from the digital field. It towered over the short tamers; it's eyes seeming to glare evilly. It raised its arms as though it was ready for polka night.
"What do we have here, two digidestined," chuckled the brown metallic Digimon inexplicably.
"Wait, why isn't he attacking?" Takato asked confused.
In midst of the confusion the two tamers had not noticed their surrounding environment. Unexpectedly, a purple blaze fired from behind them, aiming at the newly bioemerged Digimon. Rika and Takato spun around to see the initiator.

Henry and Susie hurried down to Central Park as quickly as they could. They avoided the main streets, traveling swiftly on the side roads of Shinjuku.
"Henry, can we slow down a little?" Susie panted as she struggled to keep up with her brother.
"We can't Susie. Takato and Rika might be in trouble," he replied wearily.
"I really have to sit down for a second," Susie whispered as she collapsed onto a nearby fire hydrant.
"SUSIE! Are you okay?" Henry asked anxiously. "I knew you shouldn't have come along."
"I'm a just little tired. You go."
"Dad would have my neck if I left you here alone. I guess I'll just have to carry you." Henry hoisted his sister onto his back and started to run quickly towards the park.
"Yay horsie! Faster!" Susie squealed into her brother's ears.
"Susie, that's not helping…" Henry said frustrated.
"Okieee. Sorriee."
When the two of them finally reached the park, the digital field was completely open already. Cars honked noisily at the traffic light that stubbornly stayed red. Henry and Susie entered the dark static haze slowly.
"I think I see the others," he told his sister. "Stay here, and don't move until I give the okay." Henry ran towards his friends and the enormous brown Digimon that had bioemerged.
When Henry was halfway to Rika and Takato, Susie saw the big mean looking Digimon raise it's arms. She took it as an attack on her friends. Rika and Takato had activated cards. She thought that she too should swipe a card as well. Instantaneously, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a card. She glanced at it, for a second before swiping it in her D-Power.
"Digimodify! Corona Cannon activate!" A neon pink light emerged from Susie, creating a big cannon-like utensil. For some reason it was surprising light as it floated into her hands. It looked like the one she saw Beelzemon using against the D-Reaper.
"I get to save you all," she whispered. "Corona blaster!" A purple flare emitted from the cannon aiming at the brown Digimon.
She saw the other tamers, her brother included, turn to look at her.
The brown metallic Digimon had sidestepped the attack.
"Susie, I told you not to move," Henry cried, his eyes huge with alarm.
"Heh heh… sorrie?"
A/N: Looks like the gangs all here! The actual identity of the Digimon has yet to be revealed. Stay tuned for the next chapter. :D
