The Crossing The Rift Saga
Chapter 1-Battle Starts Anew
After the battle with the D-reaper, Hypnos scientists used the lingering wave lengths of the D-reaper to erase the memories of the digital life forms from people's minds. The only ones who remembered were the Monster Makers, the tamers, their families, and the Hypnos crew. Now, two years later, the tamers battle starts anew as they again must solve the question of what is real. And it all started because a few people around the world remembered; because they received gifts of digital power.
It was a sunny day. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. A gentle breeze danced though the leaves. It was a perfect day. Well, it would have been a perfect day if it wasn't a school day. And that's where Takato and Henry were heading after summer vacation. Takato still sported his thin blue hooded jacket and gray pants. His yellow goggles lay tucked away in his backpack, a remembrance to the events that occurred when he was 13.
Henry's tastes hadn't changed that much either. He was dressed in his usual dark blue shirt and dark brown pants. His orange vest did have a difference though. On the spot over his heart was a patch of Terriermon. His older sister had made it, a perfect likeness, and made one of Henry that the boy gave to his partner when he visited the digital world.
Takato gave a deep sigh as they neared the school, causing his friend to look over.
"What's up, Takato?"
"Nothing. I just hate the first day of school more than the rest of the year. It's so boring."
Henry smiled. "I think it's meant to be that way. It's like the teachers are trying to see how long they can hold your attention." "Well, I know for a fact that Kazu would be asleep within the first five minutes."
"I say two."
"Hey, Chumly! Henry!" came a voice.
"Speak of the devil," said Henry as they noticed their friends Kazu and Kenta. Kazu had on his black shirt with a yellow cross and blue pants. He had gotten a new visor two years ago. In the center it had a patch of a Guardromon. He had given his old one to his partner about a year ago. Kenta was dressed like he always was. Dark shirt under a pale brown button down shirt, and dark pants.
"Hey, guys," greeted Takato as they approached. As they began to talk, a surprised gasp caught their attention. Turning to look, the tamers noticed a girl that looked maybe a year or two older than themselves sitting on the ground. She had long dark brown hair that reached down past her waist. She had dark skin that made one think she was Hispanic, which she probably was. She had on dark blue jeans that rested on her white tennis shoes with violet lining. Her light blue shirt had some writing on it, but they couldn't make it out at their distance.
A boy, who looked a little older than the girl, rose and extended his hand to help her up. He was dressed in blue cargo pants that hovered above red and black Velcro sneakers. His yellow zip-up vest had a belt fastener around the bottom and the Japanese symbol for "destiny" on the back. It covered a red shirt with a black dragon on it. He was lightly tanned and his red hair hung over the side of his head.
Just by looking at the situation one could guess what happened. The boy must've bumped into the girl, knocking her down. They turned away, seeing no problem present.
This just made her day. Adhara Herrera was new not only to the city, but to this country. She had spent four years learning Japanese and was in a student exchange program. She had woken up late this morning on her first day of school, nearly got lost, and when she finally made it to the school, she was bumped into by some guy. Now if all that didn't mean she was going to have a bad day, she didn't know what did.
Man, he felt stupid. Why was he even running anyway? Simple, he wanted to get away from all those kids who wanted to battle him. He was the best digimon card player in the school. Two other kids were close to beating the "Great" Azaki Hatsumoto though. If he didn't know better, he would've said they had real digimon.
He stood and reached out his hand to the girl who had the misfortune to be hit. "Sorry about that," he said.
"It's okay," she answered. She took his hand and he helped to pull her up. He felt his face heat up slightly as he looked at her with his red eyes. She had long dark brown hair that swung as she moved. She had a slim figure, but was not skinny. She had brown eyes and wore purple rimmed glasses. Around her neck hung a sliver kanji that meant "dreamer" on black string.
"Thanks," Addy said. "I guess I should pay more attention." She dusted her pants off. Reaching down, she grabbed her back pack.
"No, it's my fault. I'm just trying to get away from some people who want to battle me." "Battle?"
"You know, play the Digimon card game."
"Oh. Well, I'm new here. I was trying to find my way around." She held up a map of the school that they provided her.
"I could help you. What's your class?" She handed him her schedule.
"Hey, you have the same class as me. I'll take you there. By the way, my name's Azaki Hatsumoto. But you could call me Zak."
"I'm Adhara Herrera. You can call me Addy. All my friends do."
"Well, come on. The bell is going to ring shortly. Don't want to be late on the first day." Zak then led Addy into the building.
Takato, Henry, Kazu, Kenta, and Jeri sat down in their desks. Ms. Asashi entered the room shortly after.
Man, thought Kazu, I can't believe Ms. Asashi decided to teach a higher grade. I thought I left her classroom two years ago.
"Good morning, class."
"Good morning Ms. Asashi," chanted the class.
"I would like to introduce Relaina Mitchet. She is an exchange student from Canada."
Relaina's complexion was slightly tanned and her figure was slender. She was of average height for a girl her age. Her hair stretched down to the middle of her back in a ponytail. It was brown with streaks of blue and a pale silver color. She was dressed in a navy blue sleeveless turtle neck with black baggy pants. She wore white sports shoes with gray streaks running through. A golden locket hung around her neck. But it was her eyes that caught Takato's attention. They were a hazel blue that held no emotion. They were hard, cold eyes, slightly silted that made her look mature...and cruel.
"Ms. Mitchet, you can sit next to Henry." Ms. Asashi pointed to an empty desk next to the blue haired boy. Relaina made her way over and sat down.
"Hi, I'm Henry Wong. It's nice to met you." Relaina only gave him a glare. It was one he had seen done by Rika many times before. It meant 'Don't mess with me' or 'Scram before I hurt you.' He turned away from the girl's icy stare.
At lunch time, the tamers decided to eat outside. As they were looking for a place to eat, Jeri spotted a girl eating by herself.
"Hey look!" she said. "She looks lonely."
"Nah, she's probably waiting for someone," said Kazu.
"Hey," said Kenta, "isn't that the girl we saw this morning?"
"I think you're right," said Henry.
"Come on, guys. Let's go give her company." Jeri grabbed Takato's arm and dragged the boy, the others following behind her.
As they neared, they were able to read her shirt. It said "Princess today, Goddess forever" in white letters. They also noticed a sliver kanji necklace that meant "dreamer".
"Hello," greeted Jeri. "I'm Jeri Katou. Mind if me and my friends sit with you?"
"Not at all," answered the girl. "I'm Adhara Herrera, but you can call me Addy."
"I'm Kazu Shiota."
"Hi, my name is Kenta Kitagawa."
"My name is Takato Matsuki."
"And I'm Henry Wong."
"Nice to met all of you," Addy said after everyone sat down, forming a circle. "It's nice to have someone to talk to. I'm new here so I'm practically lost."
"Where did you live before?" asked Takato.
"I didn't move. I'm an exchange student from America."
"You traveled that far! Whoa!" said Kazu.
"Actually, it's not that far. It's less then 12 hours by plane1," stated Henry.
"Whatever. Hey, Addy, do they have Digimon cards over there?" asked Kazu.
"Yeah. I even have some with me." Addy reached into her back pack and dug around in her stuff to find her cards. Takato thought he caught a glimpse of something that looked like a digvice on violet cloth before Addy pushed it back inside and took out her cards. She handed them to the visor wearing boy. Takato shook the thought away and looked at the cards. He didn't understand the words but he knew what the digimon were.
"Hey, Addy!"
The girl turned to see Zak. "Hey! What's up?"
Zak stopped running and knelt with his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath. "I've been looking for you," he said when his breathing become normal. "Why'd you just walk out? I told you to wait for a minute and when I turned around you were gone."
"Oops. Guess I didn't hear you. I was too hungry."
"No big." He sat down next to Addy. "So, who are your friends?"
"I just met them. That's Jeri, Takato, Kazu, Kenta, and Henry."
"Hi, I'm Azaki Hatsumoto."
"I met him this morning when he ran into me, literally."
"We saw that this morning," said Takato.
Kazu shook his head. "Man, what were you thinking? There are better ways to met girls. Like, saving her from a monster that's feeding off her emotions to get stronger and destroy the world." Here Kazu glanced at Takato and Jeri who were avoiding his gaze.
"I think I'd take running into someone over that any day," said Zak. "But I guess I need better moves."
"Yeah, like stopping," said Addy.
"So true." At that everyone laughed.
Relaina sat up in a tree by herself. She watched as a group of seven students laughed. She was disgusted by them, and yet...she envied them for having a companion. She pushed that thought away. Friends. She didn't need them, she never needed them. Unconsciously, she grabbed her locket. Now, she didn't need friends.
Joshua Graham traveled down the streets of the Shinzuku district 2. He had ruffled brown hair and brown eyes. He had on dark Khaki shorts, a white baseball shirt with the number "07" on it in blue letters, and dark sunglasses that covered his eyes. Hanging off his belt was a key chain containing keys and little key chain items. Among those items was a small white device. It had a circle screen in the center surrounded by a gold trim. Two gold buttons were below that. On one side was a thin slot.
As Josh was looking around, he didn't notice a girl standing in front of him. "Oh, sorry," he said when he realized he had bumped into her. "I should've been watching where I was going."
"It's okay. At least you didn't knock me down like someone else did today," said the girl. Josh studied the girl before him through his sunglasses. She had long dark brown hair, a nice figure, and wore glasses over brown eyes. She looked cute, but she wasn't his type. He wondered how long it would be before he started drooling over him like so many girls before.
"Can you help me? I'm trying to find the Crown Arcade3. I'm supposed to met someone there," said Addy. She mentally prayed the boy would help as she waited for him to answer.
"Sorry, I wouldn't know. I'm just visiting."
"Drat. I am so going to hurt Zak for saying it's easy to find."
"I could help you look. I don't have anything to do. The name's Joshua Graham. Josh for short."
"My name is Adhara Herrera. My friends call me Addy."
"Where did your friend say the arcade is?"
"He said it is on Tushikan Daka4."
"Let's see." Josh looked at his map. "We're here and Tushikan Daka it just over there. Come on." With a map as their guide, the two were able to find the arcade. As they walked there, Josh was amazed the girl didn't go gaga over him. In no time they stood in front of the building.
"Thanks," said Addy. "You wanna come and met my friends?"
"Um...." A beeping noise interrupted him. It came from the small white device. "No, I can't. I have something to do," Josh said after he looked at it. "See ya."
Adhara waved goodbye and entered the arcade. Almost immediately she heard Zak call her. She turned to him and gave him a glare. "You said this would be easy to find. If it hadn't been for someone helping me out I would have been lost."
"Gomen. Let me buy you an ice cream to make up for it."
"Fine. I want chocolate."
After getting the ice cream, the two met up with the tamers. The group began talking, learning about their new friends. Suddenly, Takato's D-arc went off, being echoed by Henry's, Kazu's, and Kenta's. This was an odd occurrence. They quickly said goodbye to the older kids and left.
"What do you think it could mean?" Takato asked Henry as he and his friends ran down the street.
"I'm not sure. It sounds like the signal indicating a digimon appearing in our world," answered the blue haired boy.
"Maybe our digimon are coming back," suggested Kazu.
"I don't think so," said Takato. "Those times when a portal to the Digital World opened up never had our digivices beep. They always appeared before us."
"I hope a digimon isn't coming though or else we'll have a problem," said Kenta.
"We won't know until we get there," said Jeri.
"We're almost there. Look!" Takato stopped and pointed to fog that was in a domed shape. Unlike the ones they were used to seeing, it was shining with some type of light.
"What do you think could be in there?" asked Kenta.
"Let's find out." Takato took out his goggles from his pocket and put them over his eyes. Henry put on his round blue sun glasses.
"You guys going in without us?" came a voice. The group turned to see a girl the same age as them. Her red hair was tied up with a purple ponytail. She wore a white shirt with a blue heart in the center and blue jeans. Her violet eyes smiled at her friends. Next to her stood a boy in a red sweat shirt and jeans. He had brown hair and blue eyes.
"Rika, Ryo, your digivices go crazy too?" asked Henry.
"Why else would we be here?" said Rika.
"Come on! Are we going to check this thing out or what?" Kazu yelled. The group nodded and headed towards the fog.
"Stop!" screamed a strange sounding voice. The group stopped in their steps as a blast of fire and blue crystals struck the fog. Slowly, it disappeared.
That voice! thought Henry.
That attack! both Rika and Takato thought.
Turning, the group found themselves face to face with a group of creatures. One was a small red dinosaur with yellow eyes. He had a white stomach with a symbol of triangles.
"Guilmon," whispered Takato.
A small white rabbit looking creature with a horn on it's head and green stripes over it's body stood next to him.
"Terriermon," said Henry.
A yellow fox like creature stood on the other side. She had long purple gloves and blue eyes. A white mane of fur was underneath her neck.
"Renamon," breathed Rika.
Behind them stood a metal robot, another rabbit looking creature that had three horns and was brown with pink stripes, a tall gray dragon looking creature with a metal helmet, a small white creature with a heart on it floated in the air, and a little white creature with green eyes and violet stripes sat on Gulimon's head.
"Guardromon!" shouted Kazu.
"Lopmon!" said Henry.
"Cyberdramon!" yelled Ryo.
"Marineangemon!" said Kenta.
"Culumon!" shouted Jeri.
They all ran to their digimon, Henry embracing both Terriermon and Lopmon.
"What are you going here?" question Takato.
"We're on a mission," answered Guilmon.
"What mission?" asked Rika.
"And why did you destroy that fog stuff?" asked Kenta.
"As you know," said Renamon, "we are the Four Sovereigns elite warriors. There are Rifts opening throughout the digital world and here in the real world. We have closed all the rifts in our world but since then they have been rapidly appearing in this world."
"And it's our job to close them," said Terriermon.
"Where are the rifts leading to?" asked Henry.
"Don't know," answered his digimon.
"Others have gone in but never returned."
"We do know that it leads to a parallel world," stated Guradromon.
"And someone is opening the portals from their side. If we can destroy all the portals the force is opening, he wont be able to open any more."
"Well, I'm with ya, big guy," said Kazu.
"I'll help too, buddy," said Takato.
"We'll all help," said Henry, everyone agreeing with him.
Suddenly, an explosion shook the ground. The tamers ran in the direction it came. They gasped at what they saw. A green digimon with long thin vines for arms stood before them. It had sharp teeth in a long pointed mouth. On the back of it's head looked to be thin red petals.
Takato took out his D-arc and scanned the digimon. "Vegiemon: champion level digimon, virus type. His attack is Poison Crow but it's nothing compared to his Sweet Breath. It's far from sweet."
"Look whose fighting it! It's Addy!" shouted Jeri.
"She has a digimon!" Takato moved his D-arc to scan her digimon. "No data."
Everyone looked at him.
"You've got to be kidding!" said Rika.
Addy's digimon was a cat type. It's fur was brown and white and it had white wing on it's back. Blue eyes glared at it's opponent.
"Ready Kitleymon?" questioned Addy.
"Ready," answered the digimon.
"Okay." Addy pulled out a card from her deck. She held up her arm, fist pointing toward the sky. She wore a violet glove with silver trim. On the wrist part was a white device that looked similar to the D-arcs. The screen was facing away from her. She held her card near a slot on the side and slide it though. "Digi Modify! Gatomon's Lightning Claw Activate!"
Kitleymon glowed with a golden light for a moment as the power was given to her. She struck the Vegiemon with the added power at a rapid speed. The Vegiemon fell to the ground.
"Now, Kitleymon!" Said digimon jumped into the air.
"Blade Claw!" she shouted as she fell. Her claws glowed with power. She swiped at the digimon, deleting him.
"Great job, Kitleymon," said Addy. Her cat digimon jumped into her arms. As Addy turned to leave, she noticed the tamers. "Oh, hi guys!" They came over when they realized she had seen them.
"That was impressive," said Ryo.
"I'm sure we're not as good as you guys are." Kitleymon started to purr as Addy petted her.
"How do you know?"
"Well, besides the fact that you have digimon and I had over heard your conversation before I ran into Vegiemon, I remember that incident that happened two years ago."
"But, how can you? I mean, Yamaki erased everyone's memory of that!" said Takato.
Addy shrugged. "I don't know. I just remember pink ooze appearing in my city. It was all over the news. And I think I saw you guys. The news was showing the footage of the battle here. I saw the digimon and you guys, I think, inside of them."
"But how did you get your digimon?" asked Rika.
"I met her a week before I came here. I had drawn her up and then I found a strange blue card. It transformed my card reader into this glove. I call it a D-Gauntlet."
"That's why there wasn't any data on Kitleymon," stated Henry.
"She created her digimon like Takato did."
"I think we should take this some where else. I sense something," said Renamon.
"Right. Addy, we'll talk more about this at school," said Takato.
"Okay, but first, who are they?" She pointed to Rika and Ryo.
"I'm Rika Nonaka. This is my partner Renamon."
"And I'm Ryo Akiyama. My partner is Cyberdramon."
"Nice to met you. I'm Adhara Herrera. As you know, Kitleymon is my digimon. She's real cute but her Blade Claw attack can slice anything."
"Are we done with the introductions? I hear someone coming," said Terriermon.
"Terriermon's right. We better get going. Come on Lopmon. See you guys at school." "Bye," everyone said.
They all drifted their own ways. A short time later a girl stepped into the clearing. She had shoulder length, messy-cut, blue hair with silver streaks. She wore a short top that ended under her breasts with ¾ wide sleeves, baggy skater pants with a nylon belt, and a black fingerless glove on her right hand. Her black earrings and necklace with the kanji for fox glimmered in the setting sun. Purple eyes stared in the direction Addy had gone in. "How dare she kill a digimon!" she said.
A Cashmon stood behind her. It had silver fur everywhere but the tips of his ears, tail, his stomach, feet and under his neck which were white. He had on red gloves with a light and silver Yin-Yang symbol on each of them. On his thighs was a symbol that looked similar to the star sign for Pisces, two tadpoles swimming in a circle, head to tail. He had soft wings. His eyes were silted and each had a scar under it.
"She will be our target, Cashmon. She will not get away with killing Vegiemon."
Who is this mysterious person? Why is she after Addy? Why am I doing this? Because I can! I'm out of school now and have a lot of free time! I'm drinking Cheery Coke! Take your pick for a reason.
next time: The mysterious girl is reveled. looks at her Zak gets an Impmon with an attitude. A battle between the MG and Addy? Who will win? Oh, no! Look out Addy! That's next time. ch 2: Zak To The Rescue!
