The sun had just began to set when the tamers had got out of detention with Miss Nami and were walking towards their homes. "I can't believed that you guys thought you could get away with talking through a whole class." said Kazu, the spiky haired, visor wearing boy.
"I wouldn't talk!" spat Jeri "She gave you detention too!"
"Yeah, but we didn't ignore Miss Nami when she was trying to teach." countered the boy with thick glasses and a bowl cut known as Kenta.
"Hey, why were you guys late to class anyway?" said Henry. He spoke in an exasperated tone, trying to keep the peace.
"We were trying to win some new cards off some middle school kids." mumbled Kazu. His eyes trained towards the ground and a slight blush tinted against his cheeks.
"So, how'd you do?" Juri chimed in, oblivious.
"We were cleaned out...again." moped Kenta sullenly.
"What do you mean, 'cleaned out'?" Takato asked. "You guys didn't try to play them repeatedly? Did you?"
"We couldn't just let them have are best cards!" Kazu argued.
"So instead of losing a few good cards, you lost all of them" Henry added. Both boys let there eyes drop back to the ground and everyone was silent for a moment as the walked.
"That's pretty much what happened." said Kenta finally.
"Why don't you ask Rika to get them back for you?" chirped Jeri. She seemed more detached from the conversation than the others.
"And live with the humiliation!" Kazu barked back in shock "I'd rather eat dirt!"
"Come on Kazu." protested Kenta "You said your self that theirs no way we could beat those guys."
"Duh…" Kazu puffed "Fine we'll ask Rika for help tomorrow, but you know she'll never let as hear the end of this." Now turning to the other tamers "I'm headed home, so I'll see you guys later."
"Wait up for me!" Kenta yelled well running to catch up to his friend.
"Yeah, I better head home too." said Henry "Terriermon has probably taken enough punishment from Suzie."
"Alright, see you tomorrow." Takato said as his friend walked off to his own home.
"Um… Takato" stammered Jeri when Henry was out of ear shot "I was wondering, since we are both going in the same direction." she stuttered slightly "That.. u-um.. could I walk home with you?" she burst out finally, finishing with a blush.
"Ah… sure." Takato said a bit uneasy "I don't see why not."
The alley way was still alive with activity when Riley returned. The Hypnos deployment team had arrived at the Bio-Emergent point in the early morning and had been colleting data for the past several hours non-stop. So Riley had taken it upon her self too get the team some refreshments. When she had given the last of the agents a coffee and a few donuts, she walk over to where her boss and boyfriend, Yamaki Mitsuo, was standing. "Hungry?" she asked pleasantly while holding up a coffee and a half full box of donuts.
"Starving." Yamaki said childishly, taking the offered food. He sipped the coffee as he watched the team, frowning at the lack of jelly-buns. He pulled one of the many glazed confections from the box and bit in easily.
"So, has the team found anything yet?" Riley asked while Yamaki ate. She stood at his side, rocking on the balls of her heels.
"Nothing." Yamaki said when he was done eating his donut. "Its as if the digimon never showed up."
"Can we assume that the digimon died on its own?"
"As I said before, its too convenient that a digimon would die like this and still to be able to avoided the new Yuggoth's so well." said Yamaki, then taking a drink from his cup.
"But if that's the case, then why haven't we found anything?" questioned Riley.
"That I don't know…" before Yamaki could finish, his attention was taken when his head set went off. "Yamaki here!" Yamaki stated into the head set. "Sir" sounded Tally's voice. "Mr. Mizuno says that he found something very important about the digimon that was destroyed earlier today. He wants you to come back so he can show you."
"Right" Yamaki spoke in to the head set. "Well head back as soon as we can." now turning his attention to Riley "Gather the men, where going back to head quarters."
"Yes Sir." Riley said with sincere dedication.
Takato and Jeri had been walking in silence since they had parted from there friends. Both of them seemed to be too nervous to say anything. As they neared the housing district, Takato tried to brake the ice. "So…how's Calumon doing?"
"He's doing really good!" Jeri said happily. "But my dad doesn't like the fact that he eats all the cream puffs in the house as soon as we get them."
"Yeah, we have the same problem with Guilmon. Its just with all the food in the house though." Takato joked. Jeri giggled at the comment Takato made about his own digimon. "That sounds like him." Jeri said when she stop giggling.
The two walked for a while longer before Jeri spoke again, trying to break the tension around them that had kicked up again. "So, what do you plan to do when school brakes for the summer?"
"I don't know yet." Takato answered honestly. "My parents might want to go Okinawa to visit family."
"That has to be nice, having family that lives down there." Jeri said looking up to the setting sky. "I had always wanted to go but have never had the opportunity."
"Well… if we do go, maybe we could take you with us." Takato said shyly
"Do you really mean it!" Jeri ask with pure glee.
"Sure, I don't see why not." Takato said with a light blush warming his cheeks.
But before two of them could say a another thing the childish voice of Guilmon called out "TAKATO!" The two looked forward to see the red dino-dragon running to them at brake neck speed. The form of the creature seemed tense and uneasy. Golden orbs were dilated and as he reached his tamer the digimon let out a hiss.
"Guilmon, what's wrong!" Takato asked frantically. Jeri stepped up to his side, a look of worry stretched across her face.
"Takato, I smell a digimon." Guilmon said when they reached him, confirming their suspicions.
"Ok Guilmon, lead away." Takato told the high strung dino-dragon.
"Right!" Guilmon acknowledged before taking off in the direction of the digimon.
Takato started running to catch up to his over zealous partner, but soon realized he wasn't the only one doing so, hearing Jeri trying to keep as well. "Jeri this could be dangerous! You should head home!"
"And leave you alone to deal with what's ever out there? I think not!" Jeri said in stern voice that threw Takato off.
"If your sure." Takato said a bit uneasy.
People flied in terror as used furniture rained threw the sky, crushing parked cars and anything ales unfortunate of being at the wrong please at the wrong time. The source of the chaos came from the front of a frequented beef bowl shop. The attacker, a Roachmon, laughed hoarsely as people continued to run for their lives. "Yeah, that's right, be afraid!" the Roachmon shouted.
"Hey, you should try some of this stuff." said another Roachmon leaving the shop, holding a large soup ladle. "It's really good."
"I don't feel like eating at the moment." said the aggressive insectoid digimon. "What I do feel like doing now is tearing this ugly place apart! Yard Sale Bombs!" several more pieces of used furniture fell from the sky, crushing several parked cars as they plummeted to earth.
"Are you sure it's a good idea to trash the place like this?" asked a third Roachmon now leaving the shop with a partly eaten loaf of bread in hand.
"And who's going to stop me?" retorted the aggressive insectoid digimon.
"Pyro Sphere!"
The Roachmon was caught completely off guard as the fire ball slammed into his face, sending him backwards to a light post, bending it. The two other Roachmon quickly turned to see their attacker, a red dino-dragon digimon sprinting towards them with teeth bared. The digimon pair glanced to once another for a split second before dropping the food they had taken and got ready to meet their attackers charge, but were stop by the voice of their unfortunate comrade. "Hold it you guys," he said well getting to his feet. "This guy's mine!" he finished by jumping forward and flapped his bug like wings to accelerate him forward at surprising speed.
Guilmon was caught off guard as the enraged insectoid sped towards him and hit him with a powerful punch, knocking him a few meters back.
"Guilmon!" yelled Takato as he and Jeri had just made it to the battle. "Are you ok?"
"I'm ok Takato," Guilmon winced "But he's not! Pyro Sphere!" another fire ball flew towards the insectoid digimon. However, seeing the attack coming, the Roachmon side stepped it and then charged again at the red dino-dragon.
"Your not so tough!" the Roachmon retorted before trying to punch the smaller digimon the same way again, only to strike at air as Guilmon dodged the blow.
"What are they?" Jeri ask well Guilmon continued dodge repeated attacks from his insectoid opponent.
Takato held up his D-Arc. "Roachmon, Virus type, Champion level, Attack Techniques: Garbage Dump, Yard Sale Bombs." He then look up to see the fight continue. "This isn't going to be easy." Takato said to him self.
"STAY STILL!" shouted the enraged Roachmon, as he tried to pummel the smaller digimon but to no avail. But as he tried yet anther punch, Guilmon didn't move but stood his ground with jaws open. "AHHH!" screamed the insectoid digimon as Guilmon bite down on his extended fist.
Now having a hold on his opponent, Guilmon pulled the Roachmon off his feet and throw him into the air. The red dino-dragon then cried out at the Roachmon as he soared throw the air, "Pyro Sphere!"
As the fire ball exploded on the air bound insectoid, it rocketed him to the spot that the other two Roachmon were watching from. The two other Roachmon look stupidly at their grilled comrade. "What are you two doing?" growled the smoking insectoid. "Give me a hand!"
The two digimon quickly regain their composure and step forward to face the red dino-dragon. "You're finished!" the two digimon cried before about facing and digging at the ground. "Garbage Dump!" A tidal wave of garbage shot out from under the insectoid pair that quickly engulfed the red dino-dragon in its contents.
"GUILMON!" cried Takato at the sight of his friend and partner being buried alive. Jeri was to sickened with shock and fear to say anything.
"I'd be more worried about my self, if I were you." said one of the Roachmon
But before the two insectoids could act on their threat, a shift in the pile of garbage they just made caught their attention. "Rock Breaker!" roared Guilmon as he tore throw garbage and moved to slashed at the insectoid pair. However the attack fell short when both the Roachmon took to the air and landed on top of the garbage Guilmon had just been in. Guilmon quickly turned and eyed the two digimon warily.
"You shouldn't turn your back on your enemy." whispered the injured Roachmon that Guilmon now had his flank to.
"You should follow your own advice." said a feminine voice from behind the insectoid.
"Huh?" the insectoid ask dumbly.
"Diamond Storm!"
"AHHHHHHHH!" the battered Roachmon screamed as light blue diamond like shards, showered into his back before he exploded into black data particles.
Hearing the death cry of injured Roachmon, all attention was on his defeater, a yellow homid fox digimon that wore purple elbow length gauntlets with a ying-yang symbol ordaining them both. Behind her stood a red haired girl that wore a white shirt with blue sleeves and dark blue jeans. Printed against the white of the shirt the shirt was dark blue heart.
"Rika!" Takato and Jeri cheered.
"Hmm…" Rika mused with a smile. "If your going to fight alone Goggle head, then make sure your not taking on more then you can handle."
"Sorry," Takato apologized "I didn't mean too…"
"Hold it!" one of the Roachmon shouted over Takato as he spoke. "This isn't over yet! Your going to pay for what you did to our friend!"
"Your friend was threatening the lives of innocent people." said the yellow homid fox digimon know as Renamon. "Be smart and go back where you came from." she finished coldly.
"WHAT! No one talks to me like that!" yelled the insulted Roachmon. He then charged at the yellow homid fox and swung at her with a flurry of blows, but was not able land a single hit on the majestically moving digimon.
Meanwhile, the other Roachmon took flight and hovered above Guilmon. "Can't hit me from up here. Yard Sale Bombs!" several bulky chairs fell from the sky, all most hitting the red dino-dragon.
"Takato, we need to do some thing!" Jeri cried
"I know, and all ready got something in mind." said Takato, now pulling out a card. "Digi-Modify! Aero Wings Activate!"
"What?" yelled the air born insectoid as six silver/white wings appeared on Guilmon's back.
"Who can't reach now!" Guilmon said while flying at the stupefied Roachmon. "Rock Breaker!" he roared as he slashed at the insectoid.
"Alright Guilmon, lets finish this!" Takato yelled well pulling out another card. "Digi-Modify! Power Activate!"
"Uh oh!" the injured insectoid said while Guilmon charged a fire ball in his mouth.
"Pyro Sphere!" roared Guilmon, relishing his amplified attack.
"AHHH!" screamed the Roachmon as he was consumed in the enlarged fire ball, deleting him in the inferno.
The Roachmon had continued his assault non-stop, even thou the yellow fox homid dodge each of his attacks with surprising ease. "GAHHHH! Why can't you stay still and fight like a Mon?" growled the tiring insectoid.
"You mean like this." Renamon coolly finish by ducking under one of the many punches the Roachmon had sloppily lunch and punch him hard in the face. The insectoid stumbled backwards but was pursued by Renamon with a fury of punches and kicks that all had great effect on the insectoid digimon. He continued to back away, trying escape the yellow fox homid assault to no avail, finally being knocked off his feet and on his back with a powerful kick from Renamon.
"End it Renamon." Rika said coldly to Renamon how in turn acknowledged her tamer by crossing her arms in prepare of her finishing move.
"STOP! Please don't kill me! PLEASE!" The Roachmon pleaded, shutting his eyes and crossing his arms in front of him in a false hope that it would protect him. But the lethal attack he'd been expecting never came. Looking up at his soon to be defeater, he saw that she had lowered her arms and stood calmly looking at him.
"If that's the case then go back were you came from!" the red haired girl stated from behind Renamon.
The insectoid then got up on uneasy legs and turned to leave but stopped after a few steps. "Ha ha… Stupid! Garbage Dump!" A wave of garbage shot out from under the devise Roachmon. Normally, Renamon could easily of dodged the attack, but with Rika behind her she could only brace her self as the attack hit her.
"RENAMON!" Rika cried as Renamon was has half buried by the attack.
"Ha ha!" the Roachmon laughed dumbly. "That like one of the oldest tricks in the book, and you fell for it."
But before the insectoid could act further, the roar of the red dino-dragon cut throw the air. "Rock Breaker!"
Not being seen coming from the side, Guilmon's attack carved deep into the insectoid. Fatally wounding him. "NOOO!" the Roachmon yelled before deleting.
"Rika! Are you ok!" Jeri yelled as she and Takato ran to her.
"I'm fine, but we got to help Renamon!" Rika cried but before anyone could act Renamon with great effort, broke out of her garbage bounds and somersaulted throw the air, landing in a crouch.
"Renamon, Are you hurt?" Rika ask concernedly as she ran to the side of her partner.
"I'm alright. He just caught me with my guard down." Renamon said from her crouched position.
"I don't care about that. I just want to make sure you're alright." Rika said on the verge of tears.
"So there's Manipulators in this world as well." Hideki said as he watched the Tamers gather and conversed among them selves throw his cloaked observer. "This will make things more interesting." he said with an evil grin.
