Arrival At The Other World In One Piece.



"Well were here." Renamon said as she looked around at her surroundings. "I think." She added as she looked around her carefully. They'd transported from their world to their Digital World from a park and the one appeared to be in was really similar in a lot of ways.

"It was nice of the Sovereigns to help us get here." Rika said as she looked around too, wishing that she knew more about what they were getting themselves into.

There first couple tries to create a similar data stream hadn't worked and if the Sovereigns hadn't shown up to help them modify the stream they would have been screwed. They'd tried for hours but thankfully the Soverigns had come to investigate the unusual data stream too and with their help they'd been able to create a stream that would take them to the other dimension. According to Alice's calculations they'd ended up in the dimension's version of the Real World so know they just had to figure out how to get into this dimension's Digital World.

"This dimension doesn't look any different than our real world." Alice said as she looked around. She judged it to be somewhere in the afternoon and to all intents and purposes they could be in Gilmon's park.

"Were should we begin looking?" Renamon said as she too took in their surroundings with a hunter's look that made several of the people walking around give them troubled looks as they hurried by.



"We should find Ken." Cyberdramon said for the first time since they'd landed. He'd stayed away from the Soverigns cause they'd never really gotten along well and Cyberdramon wasn't exactly known for his good people skills.

"Find who?" Rika asked looking over at him curiously as she tried to ignore the sound of traffic nearby.

"Ken. I believe he lives in this dimension and is a friend of Ryo's. He will be able and willing to help us locate Ryo faster if he values Ryo's friendship as much as Ryo does." Cyberdramon said in the longest sentence that any of the females had ever heard him utter.

"How do we find this Ken?" Alice asked as she opened her computer though how she was going to find him on it she wasn't sure.

"We could look him up in a phone book." Rika said as she glared at some pedestrians who were staring at them. "What are you looking at?" Rika finished with a growl of her own that was similar enough to Cyberdramon's to get them moving in the other direction.

"Your such a people person Rika." Alice said sarcastically as she watched them speed away.

"Yea Yea and your a social animal. Lets find a phone book shall we?" Rika said as she grinned at her friend.

"Lets get something to eat first. I'm starving and the way Cyberdramon is looking at that dog makes me think he's hungry too." Alice said as she held Cyberdramon lease tighter. Since Ryo wasn't here it had kind of fallen on her to fill in temporarily and even though she'd always wanted a Digimon of her own she wasn't overjoyed at the thought of having Cyberdramon fill the role.

"Yea, why don't you guys stay here and I'll see what I can find. There's no point in scaring everything that could provide food away." Rika said with a twisted grin.

"Fine but your buying if I have to stay and baby-sit these two." Alice said with a grin of her own.

"It's a deal."





"Come on Buddy, you can do it, just try." The boy said as he cheered his Digimon on as the Digimon tried not to think of how many he'd eaten already. "Your almost there just two more and then were done."

Rika watched the two in disgust, what a pathetic Tamer, and all around human being. "People like that shouldn't even have Digimon." Rika muttered under her breath as she waited in the long line to get some grub. What kind of Tamer tries to get his Digimon to eat as many hotdogs as possible in one hour? How gross.

"Come on Veemon, you can do it." The boy yelled as he watched his Digimon swallow another one whole, looking a bit green as oppose to his usual blue. "Two more."

"Come on Davis I don't want to eat anymore." The Digimon said looking more then a little green to Rika. That was it, she wasn't going to stand here and watch that poor Digimon be tortured like that. Goggle boy was going down.

"Come on Buddy, you can do it. I bet Kage ten bucks you could and you don't wanna lose do ya." Davis said motioning in the direction of another boy who was watching them with a smirk on his face as he thought of the easy ten he'd just made. The thing couldn't possible eat another one.





"Hey what kind of Tamer are you any way kid." Rika said having heard enough as she moved out of the line to stand in front of the kid she was seriously considering pummeling into the dirt.

"What do you mean Tamer? And the names Davis" The goggle headed Davis asked curiously as he admired the red head in front of him, even if she did look like she wanted to rearrange his face.

" I mean that a Digimon isn't some toy to play with. He's a living breathing thing and you shouldn't be treating him like some circus act." Rika said glaring at him with a look that had sent more men running away from her then she'd won card games.

"I don't treat him like that." Davis said angrily back at her.

"Oh really well from where I'm standing you are. You need to get someone to teach you how to take care of your Digimon before he ends up in the hospital." Rika said with her hands on her hips, letting him know she meant business.

"And what do you know about Digimon Red?" Davis shot back with more anger then he'd intended. Who did this girl think she was anyway telling him what to do? Veemon was his best friend, how dare she accuse him of being a bad friend.





"Obviously a hell of a lot more then you." Rika said with a sneer as she glared at him even more while keeping an eye on the kid's Digimon who looked like he was going to throw up at any moment.

"Well if your so great where's your Digimon?" Kage said as he moved to support his friend, more because she was interupting the bet then anything else.

"She's waiting for me to bring lunch." Rika said with a smirk.

"Well then what do you say you bring her over and you two can battle. Then well see who knows more about Digimon." Kage said with a smirk.

Panicking Davis stared at the girl and cursed Kage's big mouth.

"And how do you propose we do that huh. I'm not in the habit of murdering Digimon simple to show that their trainers are morons." Rika said glaring at the blue haired boy in contempt.

"We don't want to fight." Veemon blurted out. Something was telling him that he didn't want to face this girl's Digimon, especially after eating ten hotdogs.

"Yea, we don't fight girls." Davis said to save face in front of the rising crowd.

"Why because you're so pathetic you can't beat them?" Rika asked with a terrifying grin.

"We could take you on anytime, anywhere." Davis said puffing out his chest.

"Fine then. First one to knock the other out wins. Any signs of deletion and the match is off." Rika said with a glare. "And whoever wins buys the other lunch."

Davis stared at the girl. He could take her no problem, right? He'd never really battled for the sport of it but everyone was looking at him. Besides, what could it hurt? They'd go easy on her and when they'd won he'd prove to her that he was a good Tamer.

"Alright, you're on." Davis said as he pulled out his Digivice. "Let's battle."

"Fine then. Renamon." Rika called and everyone watched in amazement as seconds later a Digimon appeared out of nowhere right in front of them. "The little blue Digimon is going down."







"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!"

Alice and Cyberdramon both turned their heads quickly as the scream blasted their eardrums, what a racket.

"What's that all about?" Alice said as she shaded her eyes with her hands. Squinting she could make out a boy running in her direction with a small grey blob in his hands which was moving which would suggest it was alive.

"Pepper blast." A voice came out of no where and Alice watched in horror as a ball of fire went flying inches from the boy's head. The boy fell to the ground, blob still in his arms though she heard it shriek even from a distance.

"Hey kid are you alright?" Alice called running towards the boy who lay frozen in fear.

Alice looked and saw a teenager and an Agumon heading for the kid. Sensing that the Pepper Breath hadn't been an accident Alice stood in front of the boy and completely forgetting Cyberdramon prepared to give the guy the tongue lashing of his life.

"Who are you?" The boy asked clutching what now appeared to be a Digimon though what kind of she had no idea.

"My name's Alice. Why'd he attack you." Alice said as she watched the teenage boy and his Digimon strut in their direction.

"He wants my new video game. My brother gave it to for my birthday and I'm..I'm not giving it to him." The kid said with a glare in the teen's direction. For some reason the kid felt safe with this girl, even if she did look like she was gothic.

"Hey kid, hiding behind girls now. Hey sweetheart mind moving out of the way. The brainiac and I have some unfinished business to attend to." The teen said with a leer. "Afterwards maybe me and you could get a soda or something. How about it babe?"

"How about you and your Digimon beat it before I flatten you like a bug." Alice said putting her hands on her hips.

"Well temper, temper, look kid just hand it over and no one gets hurt." The teen said now including Alice in his glares. Of course Alice glared right back. Maybe she didn't have a Digimon of her own but she wasn't about to let this guy get his way. Not while she was around.

"Look pal you're the one who's going to get hurt if you don't go away." Alice shot back.

"Well then if your so tough why don't you try this on for size, Agumon, Pepper Breath." The boy yelled and Alice watched as a huge ball of fire appeared in the dinosaur like Digimon's mouth and then shot out of its mouth at her with deadly intent.





"Wow." Davis said as he looked at Veemon's opponent. "She's huge. No fair, she has to Digivolve down to rookie level first."

"This is her rookie form." Rika said with an evil grin as she placed a hand on her belt where she kept her cards.

"Oh shoot." Davis said under his breath as all the blood left his head. He and Veemon were definitely dead meat.

"Davis, hey Davis have you seen Mikey? We can't find him." Everyone turned to see a cute brunette followed by a good-looking blonde male, both looking to be around Rika's age. The girl was dressed in pink and the boy in blue, Mr and Mrs All America Rika thought with a smirk.

"He's missing?" Veemon said finally taking his eyes off the fox type Digimon that he decided to call his executor.

"Yea, what's going on Davis?" The blonde hair boy asked not liking the looks of this. He didn't like Kage very much and something told him that there was trouble here.

"Davis is getting a lesson." Rika said as she finished filling Renamon in on the situation. "We're ready when you are shortie."

"Davis what's she talking about?" The brown haired girl asked looking rather worried, Veemon didn't look so good and she had a feeling that the other girl was after Davis about something. "What have you done now?"

"He's challenged me to a Digimon battle. If your fond of the little blue guy I suggest you say your good byes now." Rika said as she sorted through her cards absently as she waited for the other boy to crack. She wouldn't need them with this loser but it never hurt to be prepared.

"You challenged her to a Digimon battle, against that fox with her, are you out of YOUR MIND! The blonde said looking from the Digimon fox that was as big as him to Veemon. "She'll kill him."

"Actually I only intend to toss him around a bit. I don't delete Digimon for the fun of it and besides even if I did his data would be to contaminated to absorb anyway." Rika said as she smiled at the boy with some sense which seemed to be lacking in this world.

"Who are you anyway?" The brunette asked as she picked Veemon up in her arms to hold him protectively. If this girl thought her Digimon was laying a paw on poor Veemon then she was mistake. She wouldn'y let anyone hurt him and neither would T.K.

"My name's Rika and this is Renamon." Rika said with her arms crossed. "So are we battling or not?"

"Look I.."

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!"

"What the heck?" Davis said as his head whipped around at the noise.

"Oh no." Rika cried.

"Cyberdramon!" Rika and Renamon shouted together before they took off running in the direction of the screams with her would-be opponent and his friends close behind.





"Cyberdramon." Alice had yelled as she'd watched the flaming ball hurl towards her, nowing that there was no way she'd be able to move out of the way in time. And she'd got what she deserved for calling him Alice thought as she tried to stop Cyberdramon from sending Agumon and his trainer blasting out of the park. Digging her heels in Alice kept a firm grip on Cyberdramon's arm as he dragged her towards where the Digimon and his Tamer were cowering in fear. Cyberdramon had reached her side while she'd been trying to get a look at how badly hurt her shoulder was from the flame when she'd ducked. He'd taken one look and charged.

"Cyberdramon you can't delete him and if you intend to think again. He's only a pathetic little Agumon, he's not even worth the energy." Alice said as she tried to ignore her arm, which stung from the Pepper breath blast and hurt even more from trying to yank Cyberdramon back.

"He hurt you." Cyberdramon growled as he continued towards his opponents. She may not have been his Tamer but she was Ryo's friend and that meant that she was under his protection. The Augumon was a dead dinosaur.



"Alice what happened?" Alice sighed with relief as she saw Rika and Renamon running towards her with three other kids about their age with another Digimon taking up the rear.

"The Agumon attacked us and now Cyberdramon's on the war path with the intent to decimate." Alice said gesturing towards the kid with one hand while trying to keep Cyberdromon under control with the other.

"Mikey!" The three other kids and what looked like a blue Digimon yelled out as they ran to the kid who practically hurled himself at them with his Digimon clutched closely to his chest.

"Cyberdramon stop this instance." Rika said marching up to stare into his black eyes which regard her with flames practically shooting out of them.

"Yea do as she says." The cowering Agumon yelled from behind a large oak tree which only served to make Cyberdramon more intent on killing it.





"Owww." Alice said as Cyberdramon came to a halt in front of Rika when she refused to move. "Damn, thanks."

"Are you okay Alice?" Rika asked looking around Cyberdramon in her direction, worried that Cyberdramon had hurt her in her haste to slow Cyberdramon down.

"The stupid dinosaur burned my arm a little bit." Alice admitted as she let go of Cyberdramon, it hadn't been working anyway and it made her arm hurt worse.

Now Rika was really mad. "Alice give me Ryo's Digivice and cards for a sec please." Rika said as she glared at the boy and Digimon who'd dare hurt her friend and a little boy. Taking a card out of Ryo's deck Rika held it out and slashed it across the side of his Digivice. "Digimodify, Digi card activation. Goliath Digieveloution."

Instantly Cyberdramon began to grow until he was literally the size of a house. Growling menacingly Cyberdramon slowly walked towards the bullies.

"Get it away from me man!" The bully cried looking absolutely terrified. "We'll leave the kid alone OKAY!!!"

"You should have thought of that before you attacked a little kid and my friend." Rika said as she glared at him as he cowered.

"Thank God I didn't battle her." Davis said as he gazed up at the huge Digimon who was currently licking his lips in the bullies direction.

"Cyberdramon, I think these boys need a lesson in what happens to people who pick on little kids and hurt our friends. You know that tree over there is pretty bare, what do you say we decorate in." Rika said with an evil grin.

"Rikaaaa." Alice said exaggeratedly.

"As you wish." Cyberdramon said leaning over and scooped the terrified bullies into his clawed hands. Moving over to the tree Rika had indicated the huge Digimon set the two on top of the tree, high above the ground and telephone poles.

"That otta teach them. Cyberdramon, de-digievolute." Rika said and as she watched the Digimon returned to his normal size.





"Wow that was amazing." The kid, Mickey said as he hesitantly approached the girl who had helped save him and George. She looked friendly then the Goth but he had a feeling that this girl was just as tough as the other one.

Sending him a warm smile Rika turned back to Alice. "Do you need a doctor?"

"No I don't think its that bad. I take it you didn't find anything to eat?"

"Yea there's a hot dog stand over there and after I beat goggle head wannabe over there he'll buy us all the dogs we can eat." Rika said motioning her thumb in Davis's direction.

"Look I'm sure Davis deserves to get his butt kicked by you but if it's about the hot dogs I'll pay for them." The blonde boy said as he shook his head at Davis's stupidity. Only a fool challenged someone this skilled and ruthless.

"We can buy our own food thanks." Rika shot back. "Get your friend's Digimon a new owner and I'll be more then satisfied."

"But I want to stay with Davis." Veemon said moving out from behind Davis.

"So in other words you like how he treats you?" Rika said in disbelief.

"I like Davis and I don't want anyone else. Sure he doesn't always think before he does something but he's really nice once you get to know him."



"Whatever. This place is crawling with Digimon so I don't think we'll have any trouble moving around here Alice. I'll keep Renamon with me and get those hot dogs, hopefully the line will have gone down. Cyberdramon, you stay here and protect Alice, so far you've done a great job at it." Rika said as she shook her head at the Digimon's decision to stay with goggles. Well it wasn't the first brain dead Digimon she'd met.

"Well then I guess we otta be going now too since there isn't going be any fighting." The brunette said motioning to her friends, especially Davis that it was time to leave. The redhead's mind was elsewhere so now would be a good time to go.

"Well then I guess I'll see ya later kid." Alice said with a wink at Mickey who'd been gapping at Cyberdramon the entire time. Wow now there was a Digimon.

"Ya see ya." Mickey said as he allowed the brunette to drag him away, Kari knew best after all. "Ohh and thanks for your help and I hope your arms okay."

Nodding Alice watched the four people quickly walk away then turned back to Rika. "What was that all about?"





"So Ken you got a girlfriend?" Ryo asked catching up with his friend as they lay in their sleeping bags. It had been a long time since they'd seen each other and they had a lot to catch up on.

"Kinda. I've been dating a girl on and off for a while." Ken said blushing slightly.

"Her name's Yolei and she's really pretty." Wormon supplied from his blanket where he'd been napping. They'd bedded down for the night but the boys hadn't been sleepy.

"What about you Izzy?" Ryo asked already having developed a liking for the computer wiz who appeared to be responsible for getting him here. He reminded him of Alice and Henry in some ways.

"Nah." Izzy said putting his laptop into his backpack as he decided to close up for the night. He wasn't what you'd call a ladies man and it was a good thing it was dark or they'd realize he was really blushing.

"I take it your involved with this Rika that little monster mentioned?" Ken said with a grin as he thought of all the trouble the little Digimon had been giving his friend since they'd arrived.

"Well I was but how I'm going to explain this I have no idea." Ryo said grinning at the thought of his girlfriend who was probably even now plotting his death for standing him up. "I can tell you she's not going to be happy about this."

"She's going to dump you flat on your asse. She won't give you the time of a day after this pretty boy. You are royally screwed now!" Impmon said from a rock nearby where he'd been listening in on the boys.

"You wish." Ryo shot back as he rolled his eyes, reminding himself that Rika would be upset if he didn't bring back the idiot in one piece. He'd have prefered to bring Impmon back in a bunch of pieces, or not at all. "You're forgetting that Cyberdramon wasn't taken in the stream baka. He'll tell Rika what happened and she'll understand about the date. There's no way she can blame me for this." He added confidently, or at least he hoped.



"Ha he's your Digimon, Rika won't believe him." Impmon said with a sneer as he hoped that he was right. Even the computer geek would be better for Rika then Pretty boy.

"Oh stick a sock in it you empty headed Digimon from Hell." Ryo said with a rolling of his eyes. "The pain over there's really protective of Rika and is a of the opinion that I'm not good enough for her. And of course there is the small fact that she disagrees with him." Ryo said to explain their constant fighting.

"So does she have a Digimon, your girlfriend I mean?" Izzy asked curiously.

"Yea she has a Renamon. Trust me you don't ever want to get her on her bad side." Ryo said with a smirk.

"Don't tell me the macho hunk Ryo Digimon King is afraid of little Old Renamon?" Impmon said nastily.

"Tell me Impmon, how many times did Renamon wipe the floor with you before Rika called her off?" Ryo asked just as nastily.

"Shut up Ryo!" Impmon said with a threatening look.

"That's what I thought." Ryo said with a winning grin.

Well that's it for now, stay tuned for the following adventures of the Tamers. Thanks to all those who have been reviewing and keep it up.
