Note: As always I own nothing but the plot and thanks to all who've been
reviewing my work and taking the time to let me know what you think. I
hope you enjoy this latest chap but I wanted to update and I haven't
decided what should happen next. Appreciate feedback and hope you'll
review. Thanks.
Would You Take Us There?
"So this is it?" Rika asked as she looked at the door in front of them.
"If this information is correct then were at the right place." Alice said as she read over the instructions they'd gotten from the phonebook. "Well there's only one way to find out." Raising her hand she pushed the button and stepped back. Standing side by side the girls waited and seconds later were rewarded with the door opening.
"Can I help you two?" A woman asked from the doorway.
"Yes, were looking for Ken, is he home right now? We really need to speak with him." Rika said with her best smile.
"I'm sorry but Ken's gone away on a trip with some of his friends." The woman said with a slight shrug. "He won't be back for a while. Is there anything I can do?"
"Do you know how we could contact him?" Alice asked with a similar smile. "Does he have a cell phone or his computer?"
"I'm afraid I don't. But you could try his girlfriend Yolie, she might know how to get a hold of him or she could pass along your message." Ken's mother said with a hopeful smile.
"Where would we find her?" Alice said pulling out a pen, holding it ready above the paper. Ken's mother gave them the information and with thanks they headed for Yolie's address.
"What can I do for you?" Cody asked as he looked at the two girls and the Digimons standing at the front door.
"Were looking for a girl named Yolie, is she here?" Rika asked as she smiled sweetly at him. She'd act all sweet and nice for the rest of the year if that's what it took to get Ryo back.
"Yea she's downstairs, who should I say is looking for her?" Cody asked starting to blush. Both girls were really beautiful and the way the red head was smiling at him was making him a little hot around the collar.
"She doesn't know us, we're friends of a friend. Were trying to get in contact with her boyfriend and were hoping she can help us." Alice said with a wink, finally succeeding in turning Cody a bright red.
"Hey Cody, whose at the door Tai asked as he stuck his head through the door and just barely held back the wolf whistle. Hubba hubba thank you God Tai thought as he pasted his most charming smile on. "Hello."
"Hi." Rika said Alice said back while Renamon and Cyberdramon remained silently though they acknowledged the greeting with nods.
"I'll go and get her." Cody said knowing he didn't stand a chance with Tai there. He attracted girls nearly as well as Matt and their was no point in him hanging around. Knowing Tai would be happy to watch them Cody made his departure to get Yolie.
"So you friends of Yolie?" Tai asked grinning at them as he leaned against the door. "Maybe she's mentioned you." Like whether you're available or not Tai added silently.
"No we've never met. We just need some information we're hoping she can provide." Alice said as she smoothed her skirt down. "Are you related to her?"
"Naw just friends." Tai said deliberately putting emphasis on his words so that they'd know he was available.
"She says to come right down. She's in the middle of a video game match with Gatomon and they're out for blood." Cody said as he reappeared in the doorway. "If you'll follow me."
"Renamon, you watch over Cyber?" Rika asked thinking that they weren't going to get on this girl's good side if they let the large Digimon loose in her house.
"Understood." Renamon said motioning Cyberdramon to follow her and Rika and Alice watched the two Digimon until they were out of sight before following Cody and Tai into the house.
"Here they are Yolie." Cody said motioning towards them and then to the girl sitting on the floor furiously pushing buttons as she stared at he screen.
"I'll be right there Cody, you two can have a seat." Yolie said not taking her eyes off of the screen where two figures were busy shooting each other. Looking at the girl Rika sized her up then looked down at the Digimon beside the girl who rather resembled a cat with weird gloves that resembled something her mother would wear. There were two other Digimon in the room; one that resembled an armadillo and the other a messed up hawk dressed like an Indian.
Sitting down Rika and Alice remained silent as the two played until finally fifteen minutes later the cat succeeded in blasting the girl's character to smithereens. Slyly grinning the cat did a little mock bowing for the other two Digimon in the room before turning to stare curiously at the strange guest.
"So who are you?" The cat asked walking over so that it was standing at their feet. "I don't think I've seen you before."
"My name's Alice, this is Rika." Alice said motioning to Rika before looking more closely at the Digimon. "Your Gatomon, aren't you?"
"You better believe it." Gatomon said with a twitch of her tail.
"I'm Yolie if you haven't already figured that out." The purple haired girl said walking over with her hand out stretched. "So what can I do for you?"
"Nice to meet you." Rika said shaking her hand. "We're trying to get in contact with your friend Ken and we're hoping that you can tell us how to get a hold of him."
"Are you a friend of his?" Yolie asked not exactly thrilled with the idea that these two super model look alikes were looking for her boyfriend. Not thrilled at all.
"Not exactly. Do you know how we can get in touch of him?" Alice asked not wanting to say too much about anything. "We'd really appreciate it if you could help us."
"He's in the Digital World right now, It's hard to stay in contact right know because of some problems that are happening over there. Is it really important?" Yolie asked narrowing her dark eyes slightly. These girls were up to something and her intuition was telling her something was up.
"Is there any way to get to him from this area, a portal maybe?" Alice asked already whipping out her pen and paper. "We'd really appreciate it."
"The Digital World is no place for two girls alone." Tai said coming into the room after grilling Cody on everything he knew about the two lovely ladies.
"Our Digimon will be more then adequate protection and we can both take care of ourselves. Were familiar with the Digital World we have access to where we're from, I'm sure yours isn't much different." Rika said raising an eyebrow and shooting him a look that warned that disagreeing with her wasn't a good idea.
"You have Digimon?" The hawk looking creature asked. Curious Rika pulled out her D-Arc and pointed it at him and then reviewed the stats on the Digimon.
"A Renamon and a Cyberdramon Hawkmon." Rika said as she turned it to the other Digimon who was identified as an Armadillomon. It suited him Rika thought with a smirk as she put the device away. He did look like one after all. Boy had Henry's father and his friends been original when they came up for names for their creations.
"How did you know what kind of Digimon I was?" Hawkmon asked as he looked up at her curiously. "And what's a Cyberdramon, I've never heard of one." he added curious about them and their strange device.
"Cyberdramon was created accidentally and is on of a kind thankfully. And as for how I knew what kind of Digimon you were I've seen Digimon similar to you and this device I have in my pocket identifies Digimon." Rika said smiling at him kindly. "I just had to point it at you to get your name and stats."
"That's really cool, where'd you get it?" Tai asked walking closer so that he could get a better look at the device the beautiful redhead was talking about. "Can I see it Rika?"
"Sure. Just point it at the Digimon of choice and you'll get all the computer's data on the Digimon." Rika said handing it over to him hoping that her willingness to play nice would encourage them to help her find Ryo. "So about the portals?"
"This looks kinda like a Digivice." Tai stated turning it over in his hands carefully as he studied it, taking notice of the differences and similarities. "Does the term Digidestined mean anything to you by any chance?"
Looking at each other Rika and Alice exchanged meaningful glances that showed nothing but told the other everything. They'd decided a head of time that if the name was brought up they'd play dumb. For the time being until it proved to be to their advantage. If these people were aware of the Digidestined then there was a chance that they were somehow connected to Ryo's kidnappers.
"No, should it? What's a Digivice?" Alice asked curiously giving Tai her best clueless blonde look that had gotten her out of such sticky situations before. People were so easy to fool when blondes had such stupid reputations. Of course he fell for it, she would have been insulted if he hadn't.
"A Digivice is what allows our Digimon to Digivolve and it also helps us get to the Digital World." Tai said holding the D-Arc towards Gatomon. "This is amazing. Were did you say you got this?"
"It was given to me by a friend. So your Digivices transport you to the Digital World? Can you take extra people with you when you go?" Alice asked already mentally recording this for later. She was always trying to improve their methods for Digital travel and she'd love to get a hold of one of these Digivices.
"Yes we can if we need to. Why is it so important for you to speak with Ken? He owe you two money or something?" Gatomon asked slightly suspicious.
"We need his assistance for something. So will you take us? We can afford to pay you if you can point the way to the nearest pon shop so that we can change some items into cash." Rika asked deliberately being vague as she looked pleadingly up at Tai who she guessed would be the easiest to charm. "We'd be in your debt."
"Sure we could, right guys." Tai said smiling at the girls. "We were planning to go and visit some old friends there anyway."
"But we don't know where they are exactly. It would be close to impossible to find them." Yolie argued glaring at Tai. "You know that."
"You get us there and then leave the rest to us." Rika said with a sly smile. "Like I said before, we can take care of ourselves."
"So is there anyway for you to bring Cyberdramon here Izzy. If I'm going to help you fight this Digimon then it would be kinda easier if I had Cyberdramon with me." Ryo said as the three boys walked through the Digital forest with the Digimon close behind.
"We barely managed it the first time Ryo, there's no way of knowing whether or not it would work the next time through. I'm pretty sure that I could get you back though so don't worry about that. It's the getting here that's the problem." Izzy said with a smirk as he watched Tentamon fly by.
"Well then I guess I'll just have to work with what I have." Ryo said not looking forward to it at all. Its too bad that we can't though, I'm sure the other Tamers would be willing to come here to help you guys out too."
"So Tamers is what you call your Digidestined in the dimension you're living in?" Ken asked as he picked up Wormon who's little legs couldn't carry him fast enough.
"Kinda. But its not like it is here. There the Real World can't support the Digimon anymore so they have to remain in the Digital World most of the time. There are only ten people with Digimon that I know of, myself included." Ryo said as he nimbly jumped over a small rock in his way. "It kinda sucks that way."
"You bet it does and it's all thank to Henry's dad and those other crazy friends of his. It was all their fault to begin with too." Impmon said with a huff as he followed Ryo from behind. "The only good thing about it is I don't have to see you often."
"Likewise." Ryo said with a glare. "Anyway My girlfriend and most of my friends are in the group and we have a lot of experience dealing with bad asse digital creations."
"Sounds like an interesting story." Izzy said with a raised eyebrow. "Care to tell it, we've still got a long way to go."
"Well it all began with the Sovereigns and something called the D-Reaper." Ryo began, as he fondly thought back to the adventure though at the time he'd been scared spitless. "I didn't meet up with the zodiacs so I'll have to tell you about them secondhand. You see the Sovereigns sent these creatures that resembled the animals from the Chinese zodiac and they attacked the real world because they blamed us for all their problems." Ryo said with a grin and continued with the tale as they made there way to their destination and perhaps, their destiny.
