Invocation
Jeri hummed "So Takato……you been planning anything lately?".
Takato gasped "What? Pp-p-planning? What you mean like planning a date, planning a party, planning my next drawing?".
The girl giggled "I meant planning on what you'd want to do when you grow up. You know, like a job silly".
Takato laughed "Oh yeah……sorry".
The young kids casually strolled down the grass plains of the park, simply chatting their young hearts away to each other. The children smiled at each other, simply basking in the enjoyment of each other's company.
"Well……Digimon taming is a full time job; I mean I hardly ever get a moment's peace outside of taking care of Guilmon" the boy shrugged.
"But?" Jeri asked.
Takato sighed "But if I ever do get the chance, I think I'd like to draw, like draw for a living".
Jeri smiled "That's wonderful Takato. You're an excellent artist, I'm sure you could make wonderful artwork".
Takato chuckled "Yeah I wish, aside from doodling I can't really draw much of anything else. Guess I'll have to work hard to make sure there good enough, to pay the bills anyway".
"Don't sell yourself short Takato" Jeri said sincerely.
Takato groaned "But I am short, I'm a kid remember".
Jeri laughed "No silly, I mean have confidence. You really have a talent with drawing; you shouldn't think your drawings aren't good enough".
The boy replied "Well that's nice of you to say Jeri, but I'm just not sure. I mean drawing's a tough job, it's not easy".
Jeri shrugged "No job really is".
"Yeah but you've seen how I act, I'm like a jellyfish sometimes. Little pressure comes on and boom, I crack like Digitamamon on a hot day. I mean maybe I'm just kidding myself, maybe I can't draw, maybe I can't do anything right" Takato replied.
Jeri blinked "Takato?".
"Yes J……" Takato started.
The boy's lips were stopped by the sudden warm feeling of another's pressing against them. A sweet, warm, heart felt kiss touched Takato's lips and heart, as Jeri lovingly just devoted hers to his. The young children's kiss caused rosy colored blushes to appear on their cheeks. Jeri broke the kiss off and simply smiled, staring happily at Takato's blushing and baffled face.
Jeri blushed "You did something right……you made me fall for you. And if that's not something special, then I don't know what is".
A serene moment of silence passed through the air, Takato and Jeri stared lovingly into each other's eyes. The loving warmth that had filled these children's hearts for so long, hidden and denied all this time has finally been awakened. Takato slowly curled his hands warmly into Jeri's hands, and just smiled as he leaned toward for a second kiss.
Tallos grinned "Now".
KABOOM!
The kids gasped as a gigantic explosion burst violently in the sun setting sky. Fire, smoke, and chaos roared into the heavens deep within the metallic bowels of the city. Takato blinked as he spotted what looked like a form walking between buildings. The monstrous form was a creature, a Digimon to be exact. The park telephone suddenly rang loudly. Curious of its caller, Takato picked up the phone and spoke. "Huh Rika is that you?" Takato said.
"Heads up goggle eyes, we got a big Digimon on our hands, I need you and bread breathe over here right now" Rika said. Nodding to the girl's call, Takato immediately hanged up the phone and went to get Guilmon. Jeri blinked curiously "Takato, what's going on?". The tamer sighed sadly "Sorry to cut this short Jeri but there's a wild Digimon attacking the city. I really don't want to go, but as a tamer this is kind of my job and stuff".
Gentle lips form a sweet smile as Jeri nods to Takato's mission. "Just take it easy out there Takato, and you too Guilmon, make sure you guys take care of each other" Jeri said. Guilmon smiled "Don't worry, I promise to protect Takatomon no matter what". With that Takato and Guilmon were off, ready to battle the next digital monster. Rika sighed as she hanged the phone up. Tallos smirked from behind "Yeeeees, that's it Mr. Matsuki, come to papa".
Meanwhile Henry and Terriermon were also alerted to the discovery of a dangerous new Digimon in the city. The tamers and their Digimon raced as fast as they could downtown, completely unaware that the trouble has yet to begin. The monstrous creature smashed her blue tentacles into a restaurant café. Massive yellow sun petals formed dark blue eyes, surrounded by dark blue petals. The Digimon stood on dozens of blue razor thorn whip like legs.
"Whoa, big daisy at 12'oclock" Takato gasped, the monstrous flower roared and smashed a thorny fist into a car. Guilmon growled "I'm ready Takatomon, let me at that overgrown weed". Takato shook his head "Not yet, first I got to see what Digimon this is". The boy removed his Digivice and aimed it at the plant monster, silently Takato waited. The mechanical device hummed and hummed, but still there was no information available.
"What's going on here, did I forget to change its batteries or something? I can't find anything on this plant guy at all" Takato said. The monstrous creature was in fact Blossomon, an ultimate level thorny flower Digimon, whose special attack was spiral thorns. As Takato and Guilmon arrived before the monstrous plant, 2 shadows secretly watched from upon a roof top. The shadows were none other then Rika Nonaka and Gemini Tallos.
Takato slashed a card across his Digivice, and quickly sent Guilmon into battle. Meanwhile, Henry and his partner Terriermon were quickly rushing towards Takato. The boy and his bunny Digimon raced with hopes of aiding their Digimon tamer friend. "Look there's Takato, were almost there" Henry said panting, "Thank you captain obvious" Terriermon huffed. The two had been running down alleyways as shortcuts, moving as fast as they could.
WHOOSH! Blurry shadows magically formed a golden fox amidst the purple smoke, and chilling winds of the dark alleyway. Renamon appeared directly in front of Henry and Terriermon. "WOW, give a Digimon a heart attack will ya" Terriermon said. However Henry was very pleased to see her, the boy sighed "Renamon you made it. From the view from my window, this Digimon looks pretty big so were going to need all the help we can get".
Henry approached the golden fox Digimon, only to stop half way as she refused to move. "Uh Renamon could you please move?" Henry asked, but still Renamon remained silent and still as stone. The tamer frowned "Renamon come on we can't wait for Rika, Takato's fighting that Digimon all by himself, and we have to help him". Renamon closed her diamond blue eyes and stared to the ground, the Digimon sighed softly "Forgive me".
Baffled expressions paint both Terriermon and Henry's face, the long eared Digimon shrugged "Forgive you? Renamon Forgive you for what?". The fox frowned "For THIS". Lighting paw steps charged Renamon right into Henry, the furry female drop kicked the boy right into a trash can. Henry grunted as he collapsed to the ground. Terriermon gasped "HENRY, have you lost your furry freaking mind? Were on your side goldy locks, HELLO".
Once again Renamon leapt into the air for battle, "Diamond Storm" she announced. Hundreds of razor sharp energy diamonds rained down upon the digital rabbit creature. Terriermon gasped as he hopped frantically about, trying to dodge the diamonds. "I know Terriermon, believe me I am truly sorry for doing this but I can not let you pass" Renamon stated. Henry growled as he stood up, "What are you talking about? Takato's back there.
We have to help him, that Digimon is an ultimate level". Sorrowful sighs escape Renamon's furry lips "Believe me I don't want to do this", "THEN DON'T" Henry shouted. But still Renamon remained firm "I don't have any choice, it may not be pretty but it will all be over after tonight. Until that time comes I have to keep you and everyone else away from Takato. I wish there was another way Henry, but I'm afraid this is how things have to be".
