The Crossing- The Rift Saga
Ch 4- Secrets Discovered
It was a beautiful Saturday morning. A warm sunny day with a few stray clouds. Addy stretched her hands over her head as she walked along the sidewalk with her friends.
"So, where are we going?" asked Addy
"WeâEre going to the mall. ThereâEs a store there that has a variety of Digimon cards," answered Kenta.
"Then weâEll hang out at the arcade, show you the sights, have lunch, and show you some more sights," said Zak.
"After all thatâEs done weâEll pick up our digimon at GuilmonâEs old hideout and head to Hypnos," stated Takato.
Both Addy and Zak had blank looks. "WhatâEs Hypnos?" they asked.
"Originally it was a secret government project thatâEs purpose was to wipe out all digimon," said Henry. "When Takato, Rika, and I became tamers, we were fighting digimon they couldnâEt get. Then their programs failed to delete digimon. It was up to us. When a deva destroyed most of the city, Yamaki, the director of Hypnos, realized we were humanities only hope."
"And weâEre going to see this guy why?" asked Zak.
Jeri answered, "WeâEre going to discuss the fact that digimon are appearing again and though rifts instead of digital fields, the Josh and Reelyn issue, and introduce you guys."
"Jeri, I have a question for you," said Addy. The younger girl looked at her. "Why donâEt you have a digimon?" A sad expression washed over JeriâEs face before disappearing into a smile. The other four boys glanced back at her. "IâEm sorry. You donâEt have to tell me," apologized Addy when she noticed the sadness still in her eyes.
"His name was Leomon. He died trying to protect us when we were in the Digital World. I remember the last words he said to me as he was being deleted and absorbed by Beelezamon.
"He told me that I have a lionâEs heart."
The group was silent for a moment. Suddenly a small white creature appeared in front of them.
"Hi, guys! Why so gloomy? ItâEs a beautiful day!"
"Calamon!?" shouted five of the seven, Addy and Zak never seeing such a digimon before. Before Takato could grab him so passersby wouldnâEt see the digimon, dark hands took hold of Calamon first.
"HeâEs so cute!" declared Addy as she held the little digimon in the air. "Look, Zak. CouldnâEt you just eat him up?" She walked over to Zak with him.
"He is kinda cute. WhoâEs his tamer?"
"I donâEt have one! IâEm just their friend," giggled Calamon as Addy hugged him, his ears extended.
"DonâEt even go there. We tried to find him a tamer once. DidnâEt work out," sighed Takato. They continued walking, Calamon now with them. Before anyone knew it, they had arrived at the mall.
~*~
"And I win," declared Rika for what seemed to be the hundredth time that day. She was sick of battling amateurs. She wanted to kick RyoâEs butt.
Speaking of Ryo, Rika looked over to where he was battling a girl Rika had beaten a while ago. She looked to be about 5ft 6in and was slightly overweight, but she was far from fat. Her long chestnut brown hair was tied in a tight braid. Since the girl was facing her, Rika could see that she wore glasses over brown eyes. She was dressed in a yellow vest over a white t-shirt, a pink chocker and a red kick shirt. A green backpack sat by the table they were battling at. That girl had no fashion sense whatsoever.
Ryo laid down a card. It was Cyberdramon. The girl sighed, she was beaten. After collecting their cards, they shook hands.
"Good game. You should enter the Digimon Card Battle tournament. WhatâEs your name again?"
"Jenashu Zircona. Call me Jen."
"Well then, IâEll look for you in the next tournament, Jen."
"Ladies and gentlemen," announced the store owner. "We are now going to witness a battle between Rika Nonoaka, the Digimon Queen, and Ryo Ayakiama, the Digimon King!"
Rika took her place on the other side of Ryo at the table. The two shuffled their decks and got ready to battle.
"Ready to be defeated?" Rika asked with a smirk.
"I wont lose," responded Ryo, the same smirk on his face.
"Let the battle begin!"
Isis leaned against the wall watching her friend battle. She was disappointed in herself for losing to Ryo again but was glad to see him. She frowned. But why wouldnâEt he want his friend that he hadnâEt seen in 7 years to go with him when he went to some meeting? Or not go to the meeting for that matter? Oh well. She trusted him so she would respect his wish. Besides, RyoâEs mom was going to make her famous chocolate chip cookies. It was his loss.
~*~
Mila walked into her house. She placed the bags she was carrying on a counter and started unpacking the groceries. Her mom walked in and did the same.
"Mila, could you ask Tsukaimon if she fed the animals?" her mother asked.
"Sure." Mila walked into the living room to see that her partner was snoozing on the TV. "Tsukaimon!" she shouted to waken the digimon.
"Wha?"
"Tsukaimon, did you feed the animals?"
"Yeah," yawned Tsukaimon.
"ThatâEs a yes, Mom!" Mila shouted over her shoulder. "WeâEre going to make our rounds now! Come on, Tsukaimon.
"Be back before dinner."
"We will."
~*~
Relania walked the Shinjuku streets carrying Tanoamon. Why was she doing this? Why had she agreed to look for wild digimon? Well, it was better then spending a Saturday with her aunt. She looked down at the glove on her right hand. Maybe that wasnâEt the only reason.
~*~
"And I win." Rika and Ryo sat back in their seats, one smirking in victory, the otherâEs mouth opened in shock.
"How can that be?" asked Ryo in surprise.
"IâEve been practicing," stated Rika as she gathered up her cards. She stood and walked towards the door, the crowd clearing the path for her. "Come on. WeâEre going to be late."
"Right." Ryo quickly grabbed his cards and left the store after waving to Isis.
~*~
"Guilmon!" called Takato as he ran up to the hideout.
"Takato!" Guilmon cried as he ran out to met his tamer. The other digimon ran to their partners.
"WhereâEs Lopmon?" Jeri asked Henry.
"SheâEs with Suzie. My dadâEs going to bring them over to Hypnos," answered Henry. He turned to Zak and Addy. "SuzieâEs my little sister." The two nodded in understanding.
"Rika and Ryo are here," stated Renamon, startling the new tamers when she appeared next to them.
"DonâEt do that, Renamon!" shouted Addy.
The other tamers laughed. "YouâEll get used to it," said Takato.
When finished glaring at the fox digimon, Zak blushed, realizing he was holding Addy. He released her, hoping no one noticed. Unfortunately for him, an imp and a flying feline did.
Rika walked up to them with a smile and a gloomy Ryo following behind.
"DonâEt tell me Ryo, the Digimon King, was beaten!" shouted Kazu and Kenta.
"DonâEt make it worse then it already is," mumbled Ryo.
"HowâEd it feel?" Henry asked Rika.
"Good, I finally got my revenge. And this was the card that beat him." Rika held up a Kuubiymon card.
Renamon looked at it. "I thought I looked better then that."
"Come on, guys. We donâEt want Yamaki mad at us for being late," said Takato.
"LetâEs go!" shouted Calamon as he ran forward before stopping and looking back at the tamers. "Where are we going?"
Picking up Calamon, Takato turned to the tamers and digimon. "Last one there is a rotten digiegg!" With that said he ran off, Guilmon close behind.
"ThatâEs what TK said in season one!" shouted Addy as she ran forward, Kitleymon in her arms. Everyone else ran, or was carried, towards Hypnos.
~*~
Jen turned her head to the right when something caught her eye. She saw a bunch of kids run by. At the end was Ryo and three other boys. One wore a visor, another had glasses, and the other was dressed as a small blue dragon/dinosaur.
Wait! That dragon looked to real to be a costume. I think IâEll check it out. With that decision made, she ran to the street where she saw Ryo running. She followed the large group of kids, some dressed as digimon, or where they?
~*~
Josh and Kasaimon entered the large throne room. Josh vaguely wondered why the Master would need such a large room. There was hardly anything in it apart from the stone chair against the far back wall, a stand with a large book on it, and a few torches imbedded into the wall.
They kneeled at the foot of the steps that lead up to the throne.
"Is something wrong, Josh, Kasaimon?" asked Master.
"No, sir. ItâEs just that we wish you to take back the strength you gave to Kasaimon," stated Josh.
"We wish to battle with our own strength," said Kasaimon. "If we use short cuts, our victory over the three will mean nothing."
It was quiet as Master considered the request. "Very well." With a wave of his hand, Kasaimon tensed as he felt the strength seep away. JoshâEs D-Arc glowed, shooting a steam of light to the master. "It is done," declared the master when the light had died.
"Thank you, Master," said Kasaimon and Josh. They stood and turned to leave. When they closed the door to the throne room, they found Reelyn and Cashmon waiting for them.
"Giving up the strength Master gave you? What a stupid thing to do," said Reelyn.
Josh clenched his fist. He would so love to just smack her then and there. He composed himself before answering. "Yes, I did return the strength. It would mean nothing to win a battle with someone elseâEs power."
Reelyn rolled her eyes as the two walked away. "What a fool. He doesnâEt have the strength to defeat them."
"Reelyn," said Cashmon, "maybe what he is doing is a good strategy for him. Just as what you do is a good strategy for us."
"Maybe." But to give up a chance to gain what you want for a way thatâEs far from where you were? Does Josh even know what heâEs doing?
~*~
They reached the tall building and went inside. Taking the elevator to the 26th floor (Mr. Wong told Henry which floor to go to) the tamers and digimon were greeted by a blonde man dressed in a dark suit and had on dark sunglasses.
"Hi, Yamaki," greeted Takato.
"Hello, kids," said Yamaki. He eyed Zak and Addy. "You two must be the new tamers.
"Yep! IâEm Adhara Herrera, but everyone calls me Addy. This is my partner, Kitleymon."
"Hello."
"IâEm Azaki Hatsumoto. Call me Zak. Impmon is my digimon."
"Yo!"
"Nice to met you. I am Yamaki, director of Hypnos. Now," Yamaki said to the group, "please follow me." He turned and walked down the hall, tamers not far behind,
Going through a door, they entered a large room filled with computers on desks. A few bookcases stood against the walls filled with books and notes. Eight adults, one little girl, and one digimon occupied the room.
"Henry! Hi!" shouted the seven year old. She didnâEt bother to straighten her sun hat that tipped over when she waved. It was a little big on her. Sticking out of her pockets in her overalls were candy and small toys. The right strap fell down to the edge of her pink shirt sleeve.
"Hello everyone," greeted the brown bunny digimon.
"Wow! A Lopmon!" shouted Zak, drawing the attention of the adults.
"Oh, hello Henry, kids," said a man with graying blue hair.
"Hi Dad. This is Zak and Addy and their digimon, Impmon and Kitleymon. Guys, over there is my sister Suzie and her partner Lopmon."
"Nice to meet you," said Zak and Addy.
The Monster Makers then made their introductions. (AG- IâEm too lazy to describe them. TheyâEre hardly going to be in it anyway.)
"As you know, IâEm HenryâEs father. You can call me Janyu."
"Daisy."
"Shibumi."
"Dolphin."
"Babel."
"IâEm Tally."
"And IâEm Riley."
"Before we start discussing the events as of late, Azaki, Adhara, could you please take a seat." Janyu gestured to two chairs that each sat next to a computer. They sat down, wondering what was up. Dolphin took some wires that were hooked to the computers and taped them on the teenagers foreheads.
"What are you doing?" asked Rika.
"I was wondering the same thing," stated Zak.
"This will measure their brain waves. WeâEre going to see if there is anything different that allows you to remember the D-reaper incident two years ago," answered Dolphin as he took at seat at a computer, Babel sat at the other one.
"I donâEt remember that clearly. Mostly just flashes of images and feelings," said Zak.
"WhatâEs wrong with remembering it?" asked Addy. "If you ask me, you should check the people that donâEt remember it.
"No one but the Monster Makers," Yamaki motioned to five of the adults, "the people that participated in this program, the tamers and their families are supposed to remember. You see, after the D-reaper incident and the digimon left, there was a lingering wavelength of data from the D- reaper. We were able to use that wavelength to erase the memory of digimon being real and the D-reaperâEs appearance from the minds of everyone else on Earth."
"Well?" wondered Daisy as she watched Dolphin and Babel type away.
"SheâEs as normal as a kid her age," replied Dolphin.
"Same for Zak," said Babel. They removed the cords. "When did you start remembering the D-reaper?"
Zak thought for a moment. "UmâE¦a little before I got Impmon. Now that I think of it, I started remembering when I met them." Zak gestured to the other tamers.
"It was more like a dream for me," stated Addy. "I just thought it was some weird repeating dream because I would forget it as the day went on. Then I started to remember. That was a few days before I met Kitleymon. Then everything was clear."
"Well, since this is a dead end, letâEs go to the conference room," suggested Riley.
And thatâEs what they did. They walked into a room with a long marble table surrounded by black chairs. Yamaki sat at the head with Riley and Talley on either side. The Monster Makers took seats on the left and the tamers took the right.
"Could one of you explain to us what has been happening?" asked Yamaki.
Renamon spoke. "We were sent her by the Digimon Gods. In our world, rifts have been appearing. We discovered it led to some type of alternate world when digimon come threw them. But they were different. Not only in data but they sought to destroy our world. WeâEve managed to close all the rifts in our world, but they have started to appear her as well. This area is the easiest place for them to open because of the pervious open gateways."
"ItâEs our job to close all the rifts," stated Guardromon.
"And what of these other two tamers?" asked Janyu.
"Josh seems to have an issue with Rika, Takato, and Henry. Reelyn doesnâEt like me âE~cause I deleted a vegiemon. ButâE¦." Addy paused.
"But what?" asked Kenta.
"But- I know this sounds strange- I donâEt think sheâEs a tamer."
"WHAT?!" Addy winced as everyone shouted at her.
"It was before she left. I noticed a digivice on her side. It wasnâEt a D- gauntlet or a D-Arc. The digivice was a small metal box thing. It looks familiar somehow."
"How did you get your D-Gauntlet anyway"? asked Tally.
Addy thought for a moment. "It appeared when I found a blue card. I had set it on my drawing and stats of Kitleymon. Next thing I knew I have this," she held up her right arm showing her D-Gauntlet, "and this." She lifted Kit into the air.
"Mine appeared before me when I went to help Addy," answered Zak.
"It would help if we knew why you kids were chosen," said Daisy.
"We know that kids are needed because digimon like them. And they are more imaginative," stated Dolphin.
"Maybe Rika, Henry, Takato, and Ryo were chosen because they cared a lot about digimon even though they didnâEt know they were real," suggested Shibumi.
"It makes since," stated Janyu. "Takato did create his own digimon in detail. And he had always dreamed of digimon being real. Henry cared about Terriermon when he was playing the game I had brought him. For Rika and Ryo, IâEm thinking that while they still cared for digimon, they were chosen because of their skills at the card game.
"Jeri wanted to help her friends so she was given Leomon as her partner. Kazu cared about Guardromon when he went to fight. And Kenta wished to for a partner to help everyone."
"But what about Addy and Zak?" asked Takato.
"The thought of being a tamer did cross my mind," said Zak. "I always thought Beelezemon would be the coolest partner."
"I always dreamed of having a digimon. Then again, IâEve dreamed of a lot of things," stated Addy.
"All this talk is getting us nowhere fast," declared Rika. "There is no way we can find out why there are new tamers. There just are! We should be planning on what to do with these rifts, Josh and Reelyn!"
Soon everyone was talking at once on what they should do or trying to calm others. That is, everyone but a long dark haired girl. Addy was looking out the window watching clouds pass by, a dreamy look in her eyes. It seemed the subject of discussion didnâEt interest her. Kitleymon looked at her partner and back at the arguing group. The tamers wanted to deal with the rifts and the two dark tamers. The Monster Makers wanted to research on why the new kids were chosen.
Kitleymon shook her head. If they only knew. She sat herself on the table watching the argument.
~*~
Jen was crouched against a wall listening to the conversation behind it. She couldnâEt believe what she was hearing. Ryo and Rika, the King and Queen of Digimon, were real live tamers! And not only them, but their seemed to be more tamers, at least two newly discovered. After having to dodge from the eyes of the buildingâEs personal and climb a hundred flights of stairs, she was rewarded by this discovery.
She couldnâEt believe that they made her forget the existence of digimon. And if all you need to become a tamer was to care about digimon, then why wasnâEt she one? She loved digimon. Back home sat her collection of digimon plush dolls. (Ag- I want some!) She even had a complete set of a plush Izzy and his partnerâEs forms. (AG- Happy, Jen?)
Jen was brought out of her thoughts when she heard footsteps down the hall. She spied a door and peeked in. After seeing that it was just a closet and not a room she jumped in. No point in getting caught now. She had more research to do on this place and the tamers.
~*~
"Quiet!" Yamaki ordered, his voice carrying over the argument. When it was silent, he continued. "The most important issue right now is the rifts. If civilians wander into them who knows what will happen. We will focus our attention on the rifts. Now, about--"
"Yamaki, sir! ThereâEs a bio-merging digimon!" shouted a Hypnos scientist.
"Where?"
"On the roof!"
The tamers ran out of the room and to a nearby elevator, Addy awakening from her daydream. The adults used the stairs to reach the viewing room (Ag- The room where the juggernaut is?)
On the roof, the kids watches as a large digmon emerged from the glittering fog. It resembled a triceratops in some way. Black armor covered half of the strong white scales. A single horn sat on itâEs nose.
Takato held up his D-Arc and scanned the digimon. "Monochromon- Champion level. Data type. You want to stay away from itâEs special attack. Volcanic Fire will make the Sahara Desert seem like a sauna."
"This Monochromon is a lot bigger then ones I have seen," stated Guardromon.
"Big," said Marineangemon.
"You said it, Marineangemon. ItâEs almost as big as my house," said Kenta.
Monochromon roared and charged at the group, causing the roof to shake beneath their feet. Everyone managed to run, or stumble as the case my be, out of the way. (Ag- ItâEs a big roof.)
"LetâEs do this!" Addy pulled out a card from her pocket. Before she could slash the card, a shower of yellow shards of light pelted down in front of her. Looking up, she groaned.
Cashmon landed softly on the ground next to Reelyn.
"Not you again. Can you come back later?" asked Addy.
"No can do. IâEm here to get my revenge on you and your boyfriend," said Reelyn. Addy and Zak exchanged looks and blushed at the comment.
"HeâEs not my boyfriend!"
"SheâEs not my girlfriend!" Zak stood, ready to fight like a legendary warrior he admired. (AG- *giggles* I canâEt believe I called HIM a legendary warrior!) "My name is Azaki Hatusmoto, for your information."
"Your name could be mud for all I care. Right now, Azaki and Adhara, itâEs time for you and your digimon to face your punishment! Cashmon!" Cashmon stepped from ReelynâEs side.
"WeâEll take care of these guys," said Kitleymon over her shoulder to the other tamers.
"You go deal with Monochro-breath," said Impmon.
"Right," agreed the other tamers. But Before the battle started with the large digimon, a blue flame roared to life in front of Takato, Guilmon, Rika, Renamon, Henry, and Terriermon. Looking in the direction of where the fire came revealed Josh and Kasaimon as the culprits.
"Sorry. You three are battling us," said Josh. Kasaimon roared in agreement.
"Did you forget we beat you before?" asked Terriermon.
"We donâEt want to have to hurt your digimon again," said Henry.
"But if you insist," said Renamon.
"We do," declared Kasaimon.
"Alright then. Walk all over him, Renamon!" shouted Rika.
Renamon charged at Kasaimon.
"Time to battle!" yelled Zak. He reached into his pocket and pulled out shade-goggles with red lenses. Addy looked at him as he put them on over his eyes.
"When did you get those?" she asked.
"Today at the mall." When he looked at her Addy was stifling a giggle. Kitleymon looked at see what her partner was laughing at and was soon in the same state. Impmon was rolling on the ground laughing. "What?"
"N-n-nothing," Addy and Kitleymon said, stumbling over the word a little because they were still giggling.
"Why are you wearing goggles?" asked Impmon when he got his laughing under control.
"Davis wears goggles," answered Zak.
"Not unless something is blowing in his eyes," said Addy. She took a few deep breaths to get back under control. "Besides, you remind me of a bug."
"Reelyn sighed. "I canâEt believe this." She turned to Cashmon who gave a yawn.
"Can I please shut them up?"
"Please do."
Cashmon crossed his arms over his chest as he jumped into the air. "Coin Hail!" The attack caused the four to stop their conversation and dodge.
Kasaimon dodged Renamon easily. He had managed to hit her in the back with his tail.
"Terrier Tornado!" Terriermon spun and knocked Kasaimon over, the latter quickly getting back up.
"Dragon Sage!"
Guilmon countered with his own attack. "Pyro Sphere!" The attacks collided, exploding on contact. Blue dragon and red dinosaur digimon glared at each other.
"Beat Knuckle!" Mondromon rapidly punched Monochromon before jumping back to avoid the large tail.
"Puu!" Marineangemon shot forth a stream of pink heart shaped bubbles.
"Guardian Barrage!" GuardromonâEs missiles hit the digimon on itâEs side.
Monochromon roared in anger. "Volcanic Fire!"
"Watch out!" shouted Ryo. Everyone ducked or dodged to avoid the blast of molten lava.
~*~
Jen blinked, her eyes disbelieving. This just couldnâEt be happening. Digimon were fighting right before her very eyes. Real, living, breathing digimon. Sure, she heard their conversation earlier, but she hadnâEt seen any digimon until now. There were eight other kids other than Ryo and Rika with a digimon. Two battled a girl and a digimon that looked like a Renamon with wings, and two others battled along side Rika against some boy and his digimon. A girl about her age stood a safe distance from the battles.
This is just too much, thought Jen. She turned her head when she heard footsteps coming behind the roofâEs door. She hid behind the other side of the door. After all, she wanted to see how these battled would turn out.
~*~
"Bada Boom!" Impmon threw ten fire balls at Cashmon, only half singing his fur.
Kitleymon flew at Cashmon. "Blade Claw!" She struck Cashmon.
Zak pulled out a card. "Digi Modify! Hyper Speed Activate!" Impmon ran faster then the eye could see and jumped into the air, delivering a kick in CashmonâEs stomach.
"HowâEd you like that?" asked Impmon when he landed. "ThereâEs plenty more where that came from."
Cashmon growled in response. "Coin Hail!" Impmon barely managed to dodge most of the shards.
"Digi Modify! GatomonâEs Lightning Paw Activate!"
Kitleymon charged at Cashmon. "Lightning Paw!" She struck him.
"Way to go, Kit!" cheered Addy.
"Alright Mondromon," said Ryo. "LetâEs end this!" He slashed a card. "Digi Modify! Power Activate!"
"Crack Bite!" Mondromon clamped his teeth on the digimon so hard, it turned into data. Guardromon used his missiles to destroy the rift.
Kazu and Kenta sighed.
"Glad thatâEs over," said Kazu. The three tamers looked at their friends.
"Should we help them?" wondered Kenta.
"You guys should at least help Zak and Addy," stated Jeri.
"Nah. TheyâEre doing fine," said Ryo, putting his hands behind his head.
"Winter Mist!" A white fog filled the area where Rika, Takato, Henry, Josh and their digimon were, stopping theyâEre battle.
"DragonâEs Flight!" Wings of light shot at the ground between Impmon, Kitleymon, and Cashmon.
"Hey! WhatâEs going on here?" yelled Impmon.
Everyone turned to look in the direction the attacks came from.
A girl stood in black jeans and a white sleeveless shirt with a playboy bunny picture. Her studded belt, silver cross, small silver earrings, and silver bracelet reflected the sunlight. Her long brown hair had blond streaks mixed in. A sea green D-gauntlet covered her right hand. Next to her stood a small silver lynx digimon. The white mist lingered around itâEs form.
Near Addy, Zak, and Reelyn was a strange looking dog type digimon. The body was white with the exception of dark brown ears and a pale purple puffy tail. A pair of small dragon-like wings could be seen behind each ear. But it was who stood next to the digimon that surprised the tamers.
Relaina Mitchet.
And on her arm was a metallic blue D-gauntlet.
"LetâEs go," ordered Reelyn, clearly irritated by the interruption. A portal appeared behind Josh and Kasaimon who stepped in. Cashmon and Reelyn did the same when a portal appeared behind them. In the blink of an eye, they were gone.
"UhâE¦thanks for helping us, I guess," Takato said to the two girls.
"No prob. My name is Mila Milano. And this is my partner, Tsukiamon."
"Another tamer," sighed Rika. "ItâEs like everyoneâEs getting a digimon."
"What are you doing here, Relania?" asked Kazu.
"ItâEs obvious. SheâEs a tamer," said Kenta.
"I know that!"
"Hi! IâEm Tanoamon."
"Would someone explain whatâEs going on?" demanded Relaina.
"IâEll be happy to," said Yamaki as he stepped onto the roof. "Just after you two explain why you have digimon.
"IâEve always had Tsukiamon. I found her one day when I was taking pictures in a forest in America. My mom knows all about her. But I had a D-Arc the other day. Then, for some reason, it turned into this." She showed the glove.
"A D-Gauntlet," answered Addy.
"I found this thing and Tanoamon when I got home from school." Relania put her hands on her hips and glared at everyone present. "Now, tell me whatâEs going on!"
Next time: Ryo introduces Isis to the others. Another tamers appears on the scene, being great help in the battle with the digimon that dame from the rift. Josh and Reelyn plan their next move to insure victory, and we get a sneek peek at the Master's plans. In all this, Addy does something strange with a digimon cards. What dies this light mean? That's next time in chapter 5- Revival Of An Old Friend.
Ag- Well how'd you like it? Enjoy? In the next chapter we'll get back to tormenting Zak, Impmon, and whoever else I feel like tormenting. Takato- I thought you're supposed to be a hero for anime characters. Ag- I am, I just love tormenting characters. Just be glad I haven't written a cliff hanger yet. Oh yeah! Digimon Frontier is now on TV! I repeat, Digimon Frontier is now on TV! On Sundays at !0 on UPN. It also shows Mondays @ 7:30 but they just show that episode on Sunday. So, if you didn't watch it today, then you missed only 2 episodes.
Fanfiction Reviews I think I should say something about Bob's, my friend who post my stories, fics. She likes to write DBZ yori lemons. Her stories are....interesting. Read her quotes at least! Or her story The Adventures of.... IN that fic, the sayians are superheros and mess up when they save the day. I love Ch 2 of that. *grins* I kill N Stink (no offense to you NSYNC fans! DON't hurt me!) FranceGamble, another friend of mine, has an interesting story entitled Universe Girls/Univeraial Sun. It's a type of Sailor Moon fic. It's about a boy that transforms into a girl when he becaome a scout. She doesn't describe much but it's still entertaining. France's friends love to tease his about ebing a cross dresser. Okay, my last review will be for a digimon fic called Catalyst of Light. It takes place after that whole D-reaper inccident. Calumon had died and givin the catalyst power to Takato.

The Crossing- The Rift Saga
Ch 4- Secrets Discovered
It was a beautiful Saturday morning. A warm sunny day with a few stray clouds. Addy stretched her hands over her head as she walked along the sidewalk with her friends.
"So, where are we going?" asked Addy
"WeâEre going to the mall. ThereâEs a store there that has a variety of Digimon cards," answered Kenta.
"Then weâEll hang out at the arcade, show you the sights, have lunch, and show you some more sights," said Zak.
"After all thatâEs done weâEll pick up our digimon at GuilmonâEs old hideout and head to Hypnos," stated Takato.
Both Addy and Zak had blank looks. "WhatâEs Hypnos?" they asked.
"Originally it was a secret government project thatâEs purpose was to wipe out all digimon," said Henry. "When Takato, Rika, and I became tamers, we were fighting digimon they couldnâEt get. Then their programs failed to delete digimon. It was up to us. When a deva destroyed most of the city, Yamaki, the director of Hypnos, realized we were humanities only hope."
"And weâEre going to see this guy why?" asked Zak.
Jeri answered, "WeâEre going to discuss the fact that digimon are appearing again and though rifts instead of digital fields, the Josh and Reelyn issue, and introduce you guys."
"Jeri, I have a question for you," said Addy. The younger girl looked at her. "Why donâEt you have a digimon?" A sad expression washed over JeriâEs face before disappearing into a smile. The other four boys glanced back at her. "IâEm sorry. You donâEt have to tell me," apologized Addy when she noticed the sadness still in her eyes.
"His name was Leomon. He died trying to protect us when we were in the Digital World. I remember the last words he said to me as he was being deleted and absorbed by Beelezamon.
"He told me that I have a lionâEs heart."
The group was silent for a moment. Suddenly a small white creature appeared in front of them.
"Hi, guys! Why so gloomy? ItâEs a beautiful day!"
"Calamon!?" shouted five of the seven, Addy and Zak never seeing such a digimon before. Before Takato could grab him so passersby wouldnâEt see the digimon, dark hands took hold of Calamon first.
"HeâEs so cute!" declared Addy as she held the little digimon in the air. "Look, Zak. CouldnâEt you just eat him up?" She walked over to Zak with him.
"He is kinda cute. WhoâEs his tamer?"
"I donâEt have one! IâEm just their friend," giggled Calamon as Addy hugged him, his ears extended.
"DonâEt even go there. We tried to find him a tamer once. DidnâEt work out," sighed Takato. They continued walking, Calamon now with them. Before anyone knew it, they had arrived at the mall.
~*~
"And I win," declared Rika for what seemed to be the hundredth time that day. She was sick of battling amateurs. She wanted to kick RyoâEs butt.
Speaking of Ryo, Rika looked over to where he was battling a girl Rika had beaten a while ago. She looked to be about 5ft 6in and was slightly overweight, but she was far from fat. Her long chestnut brown hair was tied in a tight braid. Since the girl was facing her, Rika could see that she wore glasses over brown eyes. She was dressed in a yellow vest over a white t-shirt, a pink chocker and a red kick shirt. A green backpack sat by the table they were battling at. That girl had no fashion sense whatsoever.
Ryo laid down a card. It was Cyberdramon. The girl sighed, she was beaten. After collecting their cards, they shook hands.
"Good game. You should enter the Digimon Card Battle tournament. WhatâEs your name again?"
"Jenashu Zircona. Call me Jen."
"Well then, IâEll look for you in the next tournament, Jen."
"Ladies and gentlemen," announced the store owner. "We are now going to witness a battle between Rika Nonoaka, the Digimon Queen, and Ryo Ayakiama, the Digimon King!"
Rika took her place on the other side of Ryo at the table. The two shuffled their decks and got ready to battle.
"Ready to be defeated?" Rika asked with a smirk.
"I wont lose," responded Ryo, the same smirk on his face.
"Let the battle begin!"
Isis leaned against the wall watching her friend battle. She was disappointed in herself for losing to Ryo again but was glad to see him. She frowned. But why wouldnâEt he want his friend that he hadnâEt seen in 7 years to go with him when he went to some meeting? Or not go to the meeting for that matter? Oh well. She trusted him so she would respect his wish. Besides, RyoâEs mom was going to make her famous chocolate chip cookies. It was his loss.
~*~
Mila walked into her house. She placed the bags she was carrying on a counter and started unpacking the groceries. Her mom walked in and did the same.
"Mila, could you ask Tsukaimon if she fed the animals?" her mother asked.
"Sure." Mila walked into the living room to see that her partner was snoozing on the TV. "Tsukaimon!" she shouted to waken the digimon.
"Wha?"
"Tsukaimon, did you feed the animals?"
"Yeah," yawned Tsukaimon.
"ThatâEs a yes, Mom!" Mila shouted over her shoulder. "WeâEre going to make our rounds now! Come on, Tsukaimon.
"Be back before dinner."
"We will."
~*~
Relania walked the Shinjuku streets carrying Tanoamon. Why was she doing this? Why had she agreed to look for wild digimon? Well, it was better then spending a Saturday with her aunt. She looked down at the glove on her right hand. Maybe that wasnâEt the only reason.
~*~
"And I win." Rika and Ryo sat back in their seats, one smirking in victory, the otherâEs mouth opened in shock.
"How can that be?" asked Ryo in surprise.
"IâEve been practicing," stated Rika as she gathered up her cards. She stood and walked towards the door, the crowd clearing the path for her. "Come on. WeâEre going to be late."
"Right." Ryo quickly grabbed his cards and left the store after waving to Isis.
~*~
"Guilmon!" called Takato as he ran up to the hideout.
"Takato!" Guilmon cried as he ran out to met his tamer. The other digimon ran to their partners.
"WhereâEs Lopmon?" Jeri asked Henry.
"SheâEs with Suzie. My dadâEs going to bring them over to Hypnos," answered Henry. He turned to Zak and Addy. "SuzieâEs my little sister." The two nodded in understanding.
"Rika and Ryo are here," stated Renamon, startling the new tamers when she appeared next to them.
"DonâEt do that, Renamon!" shouted Addy.
The other tamers laughed. "YouâEll get used to it," said Takato.
When finished glaring at the fox digimon, Zak blushed, realizing he was holding Addy. He released her, hoping no one noticed. Unfortunately for him, an imp and a flying feline did.
Rika walked up to them with a smile and a gloomy Ryo following behind.
"DonâEt tell me Ryo, the Digimon King, was beaten!" shouted Kazu and Kenta.
"DonâEt make it worse then it already is," mumbled Ryo.
"HowâEd it feel?" Henry asked Rika.
"Good, I finally got my revenge. And this was the card that beat him." Rika held up a Kuubiymon card.
Renamon looked at it. "I thought I looked better then that."
"Come on, guys. We donâEt want Yamaki mad at us for being late," said Takato.
"LetâEs go!" shouted Calamon as he ran forward before stopping and looking back at the tamers. "Where are we going?"
Picking up Calamon, Takato turned to the tamers and digimon. "Last one there is a rotten digiegg!" With that said he ran off, Guilmon close behind.
"ThatâEs what TK said in season one!" shouted Addy as she ran forward, Kitleymon in her arms. Everyone else ran, or was carried, towards Hypnos.
~*~
Jen turned her head to the right when something caught her eye. She saw a bunch of kids run by. At the end was Ryo and three other boys. One wore a visor, another had glasses, and the other was dressed as a small blue dragon/dinosaur.
Wait! That dragon looked to real to be a costume. I think IâEll check it out. With that decision made, she ran to the street where she saw Ryo running. She followed the large group of kids, some dressed as digimon, or where they?
~*~
Josh and Kasaimon entered the large throne room. Josh vaguely wondered why the Master would need such a large room. There was hardly anything in it apart from the stone chair against the far back wall, a stand with a large book on it, and a few torches imbedded into the wall.
They kneeled at the foot of the steps that lead up to the throne.
"Is something wrong, Josh, Kasaimon?" asked Master.
"No, sir. ItâEs just that we wish you to take back the strength you gave to Kasaimon," stated Josh.
"We wish to battle with our own strength," said Kasaimon. "If we use short cuts, our victory over the three will mean nothing."
It was quiet as Master considered the request. "Very well." With a wave of his hand, Kasaimon tensed as he felt the strength seep away. JoshâEs D-Arc glowed, shooting a steam of light to the master. "It is done," declared the master when the light had died.
"Thank you, Master," said Kasaimon and Josh. They stood and turned to leave. When they closed the door to the throne room, they found Reelyn and Cashmon waiting for them.
"Giving up the strength Master gave you? What a stupid thing to do," said Reelyn.
Josh clenched his fist. He would so love to just smack her then and there. He composed himself before answering. "Yes, I did return the strength. It would mean nothing to win a battle with someone elseâEs power."
Reelyn rolled her eyes as the two walked away. "What a fool. He doesnâEt have the strength to defeat them."
"Reelyn," said Cashmon, "maybe what he is doing is a good strategy for him. Just as what you do is a good strategy for us."
"Maybe." But to give up a chance to gain what you want for a way thatâEs far from where you were? Does Josh even know what heâEs doing?
~*~
They reached the tall building and went inside. Taking the elevator to the 26th floor (Mr. Wong told Henry which floor to go to) the tamers and digimon were greeted by a blonde man dressed in a dark suit and had on dark sunglasses.
"Hi, Yamaki," greeted Takato.
"Hello, kids," said Yamaki. He eyed Zak and Addy. "You two must be the new tamers.
"Yep! IâEm Adhara Herrera, but everyone calls me Addy. This is my partner, Kitleymon."
"Hello."
"IâEm Azaki Hatsumoto. Call me Zak. Impmon is my digimon."
"Yo!"
"Nice to met you. I am Yamaki, director of Hypnos. Now," Yamaki said to the group, "please follow me." He turned and walked down the hall, tamers not far behind,
Going through a door, they entered a large room filled with computers on desks. A few bookcases stood against the walls filled with books and notes. Eight adults, one little girl, and one digimon occupied the room.
"Henry! Hi!" shouted the seven year old. She didnâEt bother to straighten her sun hat that tipped over when she waved. It was a little big on her. Sticking out of her pockets in her overalls were candy and small toys. The right strap fell down to the edge of her pink shirt sleeve.
"Hello everyone," greeted the brown bunny digimon.
"Wow! A Lopmon!" shouted Zak, drawing the attention of the adults.
"Oh, hello Henry, kids," said a man with graying blue hair.
"Hi Dad. This is Zak and Addy and their digimon, Impmon and Kitleymon. Guys, over there is my sister Suzie and her partner Lopmon."
"Nice to meet you," said Zak and Addy.
The Monster Makers then made their introductions. (AG- IâEm too lazy to describe them. TheyâEre hardly going to be in it anyway.)
"As you know, IâEm HenryâEs father. You can call me Janyu."
"Daisy."
"Shibumi."
"Dolphin."
"Babel."
"IâEm Tally."
"And IâEm Riley."
"Before we start discussing the events as of late, Azaki, Adhara, could you please take a seat." Janyu gestured to two chairs that each sat next to a computer. They sat down, wondering what was up. Dolphin took some wires that were hooked to the computers and taped them on the teenagers foreheads.
"What are you doing?" asked Rika.
"I was wondering the same thing," stated Zak.
"This will measure their brain waves. WeâEre going to see if there is anything different that allows you to remember the D-reaper incident two years ago," answered Dolphin as he took at seat at a computer, Babel sat at the other one.
"I donâEt remember that clearly. Mostly just flashes of images and feelings," said Zak.
"WhatâEs wrong with remembering it?" asked Addy. "If you ask me, you should check the people that donâEt remember it.
"No one but the Monster Makers," Yamaki motioned to five of the adults, "the people that participated in this program, the tamers and their families are supposed to remember. You see, after the D-reaper incident and the digimon left, there was a lingering wavelength of data from the D- reaper. We were able to use that wavelength to erase the memory of digimon being real and the D-reaperâEs appearance from the minds of everyone else on Earth."
"Well?" wondered Daisy as she watched Dolphin and Babel type away.
"SheâEs as normal as a kid her age," replied Dolphin.
"Same for Zak," said Babel. They removed the cords. "When did you start remembering the D-reaper?"
Zak thought for a moment. "UmâE¦a little before I got Impmon. Now that I think of it, I started remembering when I met them." Zak gestured to the other tamers.
"It was more like a dream for me," stated Addy. "I just thought it was some weird repeating dream because I would forget it as the day went on. Then I started to remember. That was a few days before I met Kitleymon. Then everything was clear."
"Well, since this is a dead end, letâEs go to the conference room," suggested Riley.
And thatâEs what they did. They walked into a room with a long marble table surrounded by black chairs. Yamaki sat at the head with Riley and Talley on either side. The Monster Makers took seats on the left and the tamers took the right.
"Could one of you explain to us what has been happening?" asked Yamaki.
Renamon spoke. "We were sent her by the Digimon Gods. In our world, rifts have been appearing. We discovered it led to some type of alternate world when digimon come threw them. But they were different. Not only in data but they sought to destroy our world. WeâEve managed to close all the rifts in our world, but they have started to appear her as well. This area is the easiest place for them to open because of the pervious open gateways."
"ItâEs our job to close all the rifts," stated Guardromon.
"And what of these other two tamers?" asked Janyu.
"Josh seems to have an issue with Rika, Takato, and Henry. Reelyn doesnâEt like me âE~cause I deleted a vegiemon. ButâE¦." Addy paused.
"But what?" asked Kenta.
"But- I know this sounds strange- I donâEt think sheâEs a tamer."
"WHAT?!" Addy winced as everyone shouted at her.
"It was before she left. I noticed a digivice on her side. It wasnâEt a D- gauntlet or a D-Arc. The digivice was a small metal box thing. It looks familiar somehow."
"How did you get your D-Gauntlet anyway"? asked Tally.
Addy thought for a moment. "It appeared when I found a blue card. I had set it on my drawing and stats of Kitleymon. Next thing I knew I have this," she held up her right arm showing her D-Gauntlet, "and this." She lifted Kit into the air.
"Mine appeared before me when I went to help Addy," answered Zak.
"It would help if we knew why you kids were chosen," said Daisy.
"We know that kids are needed because digimon like them. And they are more imaginative," stated Dolphin.
"Maybe Rika, Henry, Takato, and Ryo were chosen because they cared a lot about digimon even though they didnâEt know they were real," suggested Shibumi.
"It makes since," stated Janyu. "Takato did create his own digimon in detail. And he had always dreamed of digimon being real. Henry cared about Terriermon when he was playing the game I had brought him. For Rika and Ryo, IâEm thinking that while they still cared for digimon, they were chosen because of their skills at the card game.
"Jeri wanted to help her friends so she was given Leomon as her partner. Kazu cared about Guardromon when he went to fight. And Kenta wished to for a partner to help everyone."
"But what about Addy and Zak?" asked Takato.
"The thought of being a tamer did cross my mind," said Zak. "I always thought Beelezemon would be the coolest partner."
"I always dreamed of having a digimon. Then again, IâEve dreamed of a lot of things," stated Addy.
"All this talk is getting us nowhere fast," declared Rika. "There is no way we can find out why there are new tamers. There just are! We should be planning on what to do with these rifts, Josh and Reelyn!"
Soon everyone was talking at once on what they should do or trying to calm others. That is, everyone but a long dark haired girl. Addy was looking out the window watching clouds pass by, a dreamy look in her eyes. It seemed the subject of discussion didnâEt interest her. Kitleymon looked at her partner and back at the arguing group. The tamers wanted to deal with the rifts and the two dark tamers. The Monster Makers wanted to research on why the new kids were chosen.
Kitleymon shook her head. If they only knew. She sat herself on the table watching the argument.
~*~
Jen was crouched against a wall listening to the conversation behind it. She couldnâEt believe what she was hearing. Ryo and Rika, the King and Queen of Digimon, were real live tamers! And not only them, but their seemed to be more tamers, at least two newly discovered. After having to dodge from the eyes of the buildingâEs personal and climb a hundred flights of stairs, she was rewarded by this discovery.
She couldnâEt believe that they made her forget the existence of digimon. And if all you need to become a tamer was to care about digimon, then why wasnâEt she one? She loved digimon. Back home sat her collection of digimon plush dolls. (Ag- I want some!) She even had a complete set of a plush Izzy and his partnerâEs forms. (AG- Happy, Jen?)
Jen was brought out of her thoughts when she heard footsteps down the hall. She spied a door and peeked in. After seeing that it was just a closet and not a room she jumped in. No point in getting caught now. She had more research to do on this place and the tamers.
~*~
"Quiet!" Yamaki ordered, his voice carrying over the argument. When it was silent, he continued. "The most important issue right now is the rifts. If civilians wander into them who knows what will happen. We will focus our attention on the rifts. Now, about--"
"Yamaki, sir! ThereâEs a bio-merging digimon!" shouted a Hypnos scientist.
"Where?"
"On the roof!"
The tamers ran out of the room and to a nearby elevator, Addy awakening from her daydream. The adults used the stairs to reach the viewing room (Ag- The room where the juggernaut is?)
On the roof, the kids watches as a large digmon emerged from the glittering fog. It resembled a triceratops in some way. Black armor covered half of the strong white scales. A single horn sat on itâEs nose.
Takato held up his D-Arc and scanned the digimon. "Monochromon- Champion level. Data type. You want to stay away from itâEs special attack. Volcanic Fire will make the Sahara Desert seem like a sauna."
"This Monochromon is a lot bigger then ones I have seen," stated Guardromon.
"Big," said Marineangemon.
"You said it, Marineangemon. ItâEs almost as big as my house," said Kenta.
Monochromon roared and charged at the group, causing the roof to shake beneath their feet. Everyone managed to run, or stumble as the case my be, out of the way. (Ag- ItâEs a big roof.)
"LetâEs do this!" Addy pulled out a card from her pocket. Before she could slash the card, a shower of yellow shards of light pelted down in front of her. Looking up, she groaned.
Cashmon landed softly on the ground next to Reelyn.
"Not you again. Can you come back later?" asked Addy.
"No can do. IâEm here to get my revenge on you and your boyfriend," said Reelyn. Addy and Zak exchanged looks and blushed at the comment.
"HeâEs not my boyfriend!"
"SheâEs not my girlfriend!" Zak stood, ready to fight like a legendary warrior he admired. (AG- *giggles* I canâEt believe I called HIM a legendary warrior!) "My name is Azaki Hatusmoto, for your information."
"Your name could be mud for all I care. Right now, Azaki and Adhara, itâEs time for you and your digimon to face your punishment! Cashmon!" Cashmon stepped from ReelynâEs side.
"WeâEll take care of these guys," said Kitleymon over her shoulder to the other tamers.
"You go deal with Monochro-breath," said Impmon.
"Right," agreed the other tamers. But Before the battle started with the large digimon, a blue flame roared to life in front of Takato, Guilmon, Rika, Renamon, Henry, and Terriermon. Looking in the direction of where the fire came revealed Josh and Kasaimon as the culprits.
"Sorry. You three are battling us," said Josh. Kasaimon roared in agreement.
"Did you forget we beat you before?" asked Terriermon.
"We donâEt want to have to hurt your digimon again," said Henry.
"But if you insist," said Renamon.
"We do," declared Kasaimon.
"Alright then. Walk all over him, Renamon!" shouted Rika.
Renamon charged at Kasaimon.
"Time to battle!" yelled Zak. He reached into his pocket and pulled out shade-goggles with red lenses. Addy looked at him as he put them on over his eyes.
"When did you get those?" she asked.
"Today at the mall." When he looked at her Addy was stifling a giggle. Kitleymon looked at see what her partner was laughing at and was soon in the same state. Impmon was rolling on the ground laughing. "What?"
"N-n-nothing," Addy and Kitleymon said, stumbling over the word a little because they were still giggling.
"Why are you wearing goggles?" asked Impmon when he got his laughing under control.
"Davis wears goggles," answered Zak.
"Not unless something is blowing in his eyes," said Addy. She took a few deep breaths to get back under control. "Besides, you remind me of a bug."
"Reelyn sighed. "I canâEt believe this." She turned to Cashmon who gave a yawn.
"Can I please shut them up?"
"Please do."
Cashmon crossed his arms over his chest as he jumped into the air. "Coin Hail!" The attack caused the four to stop their conversation and dodge.
Kasaimon dodged Renamon easily. He had managed to hit her in the back with his tail.
"Terrier Tornado!" Terriermon spun and knocked Kasaimon over, the latter quickly getting back up.
"Dragon Sage!"
Guilmon countered with his own attack. "Pyro Sphere!" The attacks collided, exploding on contact. Blue dragon and red dinosaur digimon glared at each other.
"Beat Knuckle!" Mondromon rapidly punched Monochromon before jumping back to avoid the large tail.
"Puu!" Marineangemon shot forth a stream of pink heart shaped bubbles.
"Guardian Barrage!" GuardromonâEs missiles hit the digimon on itâEs side.
Monochromon roared in anger. "Volcanic Fire!"
"Watch out!" shouted Ryo. Everyone ducked or dodged to avoid the blast of molten lava.
~*~
Jen blinked, her eyes disbelieving. This just couldnâEt be happening. Digimon were fighting right before her very eyes. Real, living, breathing digimon. Sure, she heard their conversation earlier, but she hadnâEt seen any digimon until now. There were eight other kids other than Ryo and Rika with a digimon. Two battled a girl and a digimon that looked like a Renamon with wings, and two others battled along side Rika against some boy and his digimon. A girl about her age stood a safe distance from the battles.
This is just too much, thought Jen. She turned her head when she heard footsteps coming behind the roofâEs door. She hid behind the other side of the door. After all, she wanted to see how these battled would turn out.
~*~
"Bada Boom!" Impmon threw ten fire balls at Cashmon, only half singing his fur.
Kitleymon flew at Cashmon. "Blade Claw!" She struck Cashmon.
Zak pulled out a card. "Digi Modify! Hyper Speed Activate!" Impmon ran faster then the eye could see and jumped into the air, delivering a kick in CashmonâEs stomach.
"HowâEd you like that?" asked Impmon when he landed. "ThereâEs plenty more where that came from."
Cashmon growled in response. "Coin Hail!" Impmon barely managed to dodge most of the shards.
"Digi Modify! GatomonâEs Lightning Paw Activate!"
Kitleymon charged at Cashmon. "Lightning Paw!" She struck him.
"Way to go, Kit!" cheered Addy.
"Alright Mondromon," said Ryo. "LetâEs end this!" He slashed a card. "Digi Modify! Power Activate!"
"Crack Bite!" Mondromon clamped his teeth on the digimon so hard, it turned into data. Guardromon used his missiles to destroy the rift.
Kazu and Kenta sighed.
"Glad thatâEs over," said Kazu. The three tamers looked at their friends.
"Should we help them?" wondered Kenta.
"You guys should at least help Zak and Addy," stated Jeri.
"Nah. TheyâEre doing fine," said Ryo, putting his hands behind his head.
"Winter Mist!" A white fog filled the area where Rika, Takato, Henry, Josh and their digimon were, stopping theyâEre battle.
"DragonâEs Flight!" Wings of light shot at the ground between Impmon, Kitleymon, and Cashmon.
"Hey! WhatâEs going on here?" yelled Impmon.
Everyone turned to look in the direction the attacks came from.
A girl stood in black jeans and a white sleeveless shirt with a playboy bunny picture. Her studded belt, silver cross, small silver earrings, and silver bracelet reflected the sunlight. Her long brown hair had blond streaks mixed in. A sea green D-gauntlet covered her right hand. Next to her stood a small silver lynx digimon. The white mist lingered around itâEs form.
Near Addy, Zak, and Reelyn was a strange looking dog type digimon. The body was white with the exception of dark brown ears and a pale purple puffy tail. A pair of small dragon-like wings could be seen behind each ear. But it was who stood next to the digimon that surprised the tamers.
Relaina Mitchet.
And on her arm was a metallic blue D-gauntlet.
"LetâEs go," ordered Reelyn, clearly irritated by the interruption. A portal appeared behind Josh and Kasaimon who stepped in. Cashmon and Reelyn did the same when a portal appeared behind them. In the blink of an eye, they were gone.
"UhâE¦thanks for helping us, I guess," Takato said to the two girls.
"No prob. My name is Mila Milano. And this is my partner, Tsukiamon."
"Another tamer," sighed Rika. "ItâEs like everyoneâEs getting a digimon."
"What are you doing here, Relania?" asked Kazu.
"ItâEs obvious. SheâEs a tamer," said Kenta.
"I know that!"
"Hi! IâEm Tanoamon."
"Would someone explain whatâEs going on?" demanded Relaina.
"IâEll be happy to," said Yamaki as he stepped onto the roof. "Just after you two explain why you have digimon.
"IâEve always had Tsukiamon. I found her one day when I was taking pictures in a forest in America. My mom knows all about her. But I had a D-Arc the other day. Then, for some reason, it turned into this." She showed the glove.
"A D-Gauntlet," answered Addy.
"I found this thing and Tanoamon when I got home from school." Relania put her hands on her hips and glared at everyone present. "Now, tell me whatâEs going on!"
Next time: Ryo introduces Isis to the others. Another tamers appears on the scene, being great help in the battle with the digimon that dame from the rift. Josh and Reelyn plan their next move to insure victory, and we get a sneek peek at the Master's plans. In all this, Addy does something strange with a digimon cards. What dies this light mean? That's next time in chapter 5- Revival Of An Old Friend.
Ag- Well how'd you like it? Enjoy? In the next chapter we'll get back to tormenting Zak, Impmon, and whoever else I feel like tormenting. Takato- I thought you're supposed to be a hero for anime characters. Ag- I am, I just love tormenting characters. Just be glad I haven't written a cliff hanger yet. Oh yeah! Digimon Frontier is now on TV! I repeat, Digimon Frontier is now on TV! On Sundays at !0 on UPN. It also shows Mondays @ 7:30 but they just show that episode on Sunday. So, if you didn't watch it today, then you missed only 2 episodes.
Fanfiction Reviews I think I should say something about Bob's, my friend who post my stories, fics. She likes to write DBZ yori lemons. Her stories are....interesting. Read her quotes at least! Or her story The Adventures of.... IN that fic, the sayians are superheros and mess up when they save the day. I love Ch 2 of that. *grins* I kill N Stink (no offense to you NSYNC fans! DON't hurt me!) FranceGamble, another friend of mine, has an interesting story entitled Universe Girls/Univeraial Sun. It's a type of Sailor Moon fic. It's about a boy that transforms into a girl when he becaome a scout. She doesn't describe much but it's still entertaining. France's friends love to tease his about ebing a cross dresser. Okay, my last review will be for a digimon fic called Catalyst of Light. It takes place after that whole D-reaper inccident. Calumon had died and givin the catalyst power to Takato.
