Assistant: Well here we have chapter 3. Sorry chapter 2 was short, but it seemed like a good place to end the chapter.
Ronomon: Yeah, I think I will agree with you.
Assistant: Yeah. You see folks we get along great most of the time, but everyone has there fights. Now for the disclaimer. I don't own digimon or the two shows where I get my concepts of alchemy and elemental bending. Those two shows are Full Metal Alchemist and Avatar, The Last Air Bender. That's about it for now.
Ronomon: Yeah. Oh, and by the way. Renamon is coming to visit in a few days.
Assistant: WHAT!
Chapter 3
The Tamers Contacted
It is now around 4:00 in the afternoon about 5 days later. We see a familiar brown haired boy with goggles running at a full sprint down the street. We hear him muttering to himself, "Rika is going to kill me for being late, but no I had to go by Guilmon's hideout before heading to her birthday party. I don't know why I bother, if he was ever able to come back he probably wouldn't end up in that place, but can't worry about that, must get to Rika's birthday party" The boy named Takato then took a big gasp for air and continued his race against time as he tried to get to Rika's birthday party. While taking a short cut through Shinjuku Park Takato ran into a guy, which sent both sprawling on to the ground. After a few moments Takato got his bearing back and realized he had run into Yamachi.
"You should watch were your going Takato," Yamachi said as he stood up and brushed himself off, "Where are you off to in such a rush?"
"I'm going to Rika's birthday party at her house, and I going to be late." Takato quickly said as he gathered up his spilled school books.
"Then why don't I give you a lift, I'm parked near by."
"That would be a great help, thanks."
"I have business at the Nonaka's house any way."
"Really, what kind of business."
"Nothing you need to worry about. Now come on, I thought you were going to be late."
"Yahhh. Your right." Takato said as he and Yamachi started to jog toward the Hypnos van Yamachi had driven that day. They were at Rika's house in about 15 minutes apposed to the 30 to 40 minutes it would have taken Takato to get there. Takato rush in as Yamachi got out of the van.
"It seems you have gotten lucky, I do believe all the tamers and their families are here right now." Ronomon said as he landed on the top of the truck.
"I told you I would be able to, just like I told you I would find that old book in a few hours." Yamachi responded.
"Yeah, but how was I supposed to know I had picked the owner of that book that described how to mix alchemy with elemental bending. With that book we don't even need the kids to swipe a card, all I need from them is their D-Powers, that according to you, they all still carry around with them."
"Yes, they all have their D-Powers and I have already contacted all the parents."
"When did you do this?" Ronomon asked.
"While you were stopping by in the Digital World to explain the procedure to the tamers digimon."
"Hmmm. Well let's get started. I'll get started preparing my spell on top of Rika's house. While you keep them busy by explaining the whole thing to them."
"The whole thing?" Yamachi said with exasperation in his voice, "I thought you were going to do some of it."
"I did, I explained it to the digimon, I did my species, and you get to do yours."
"You are a deceitful fox, you do realize that."
"I hurt Yamachi, but you are kind of right, but I digress. I need to get started if it is going to get done tonight. So I think you should go take care of that business you told Takato you had here."
"Very well you win, but I hope they don't throw me out the second I step in."
"Don't worry if they do, I'm sure you will just stand up, dust yourself off, and try again." Ronomon said as he jumped from the van's rook to the roof of the house and began digging things out of a bag he had carried over with him. Yamachi watched this graceful jump then straightened his tie and head to the gate. Yamachi knocked on the gate and in a few seconds someone opened it. It was none other then the birthday girl herself, Rika Nonaka.
She looked at Yamachi for a second and then said, "What are you doing here?" in here usual cold tone.
"I'm just here for the party; I got you a great birthday present."
"Really, so where is this really great present?' Rika said, keeping her composure even though what Yamachi had said had caught her a little by surprise.
"It will arrive here shortly, but do you mind if I come in." Yamachi asked
"Sure, come on in." Rika said as she turned to return to her party. She had picked a bad time to enter the room because Kenta was just about to take his turn at the Karaoke machine. After having to cover their ears for the entire song the group noticed that Yamachi was the one that had been at the door.
Henry said, "So, to what do we owe the honor of having the head of Hypnos at this simple birthday party."
"Matters dealing with the digital world, what else." Yamachi responded. The whole group suddenly grew quite, as if Yamachi had just become the grim reaper and was about to reap their soles.
Takato was the first to pipe up, "Let me see, the only reason you would come to use about issues with the digital world is if it was in trouble or you had some news about our digimon."
"Don't bother gogglehead." Rika spat out, "He is just probably here to tell us what he all feared, that are digimon aren't coming back ever."
Rika was about to leave the room when Yamachi said, "The reason I'm here is actually the opposite. We have found a way for your digimon to return to the real world and be able to survive here for the rest of their lives."
This caused the whole groups mood to suddenly sky rocket, even Rika had a wide smile on her face. The whole group began to ask Yamachi a million different questions. After a few minutes of this Yamachi was able to get the tamers to calm down and began to explain the situation.
Yamachi said, "Here is the run down. I was contacted by an individual about 5 days ago who said he may have had a way to return your digimon to this world. I was skeptical at first, but after working with him for a bit he proved to me that it was a very distinct possibility, and that was if we tried to do it right then and their. Now that we have had some time to prepare it is an almost foul proof method. We are going to use a concept we have come to call Reverse Biomerging."
"Reverse Biomerging." The group said.
"Yes," Yamachi said, "Let me explain. Remember when you biomerged normally with your digimon. You became a part of them and in such allowed them to digivolve to their mega levels, but in our concept we are going to reverse this process. Instead of you being infused into your digimon, we are going to infuse them into you. This will in turn solve the biggest problem we have faced about bringing them back to the real world. The problem was that the a digimon's programming is in a to complicated of format to survive in the real world, but after being infused into your bodies their data will start being converted by your body's cells into a format that can survive in the real world. Once their data has been converted my associate will separate you and your partner's bodies and reform them into their original bodies."
Rika waited for a few seconds and then said, "We seem to be relying on this associate of your heavily for this to work. How are you sure he can be trusted." Ronomon had listened to the conversation up to that point. He then decided to make his entrance while Yamachi was at a loss for words. He said a few strange words and became covered in the same cloak he had met Renamon in. He then jumped down from his place on the roof. The entire group turned to look at the strange figure.
Ronomon said from beneath his cloak, "What, you don't find me trustworthy."
Rika walked up to Ronomon, once she was about a few feet away she said, "How can we trust someone who won't even trust us. Look at you, how can we trust you when we can't see your face."
Rika was staring down Ronomon with eyes colder then anything his sister could give him.
"You can trust me because I wouldn't hurt my sister or her friends if I could avoid it." Ronomon said as slowly let his cloak disappear reveling his blue fur.
"No, way a digimon." Kenta said as he and the rest of the group looked Ronomon over.
Kazu then brought his D-Power out of his pocket and said, "Let's see, you're name is Ronomon, A rookie vaccine digimon with the power to bend the elements, and perform the lost art of alchemy. Special attacks are Sapphire Saber and Gem Stone Maelstrom."
"Wait a minute now, how are you able to survive in the real world when are digimon can't" Ryo asked with some rage in his voice.
"The reason I can survive is because I was the one that receive the great book of Alchemy and Elemental Bending. That book gave me great powers such as the ability to survive in your world, and to make it so your digimon could do the same. So your Rika Nonaka, my sister spoke highly of you."
"Let me guess, your Renamon's little brother." Rika said with sarcasm in her voice.
"Your half right, I am actually her big brother, but your right she can be a lot more mature then me at times, but enough talk. If I could persuade all of you to come out side for a few minutes." Ronomon then quickly stepped out side and was followed by all the tamers, their families and Yamachi. When they stepped out side the blue fox had leapt back onto the roof and collected the many items he had been preparing while Yamachi was explaining everything. He jumped down and, with the tamers, their families, and Yamachi watching set up for the transfer.
He looked around the yard for a few minutes before he turned to the group and asked, "This is a little embarrassing, but could one of you tell me which way north is." Rika was the first to point in the direction of the street corner, and that seemed to satisfy Ronomon. He then took one of the eight small disks he was carrying. It was a pure white disk with strange markings on it. He walked a few steps in the direction Rika pointed and set the disk down. He then turned and faced south. He took a similar black disk and placed it directly south. This continued, Ronomon placing a strangely marked colored disk in a circle, each disk taking a position as if they were on a compass rose. It worked in the following fashion:
North-white disk
NE-transparent disk
East- light blue disk
SE- yellow disk
South-black disk
SW-brown disk
West-red disk
NW-dark blue disk
Once that was done he turned back to the small pile of items he had and picked up what appeared to be a level. H took it back and set it in the middle of the 8 disks. To everyone's surprise the object began to spin. It then stopped and moved slightly toward the black colored disk. Ronomon took this hint and moved the black disk ever so slightly forward. The object then resumed spinning, and when it didn't move toward any other disk Ronomon quickly picked it up and placed it back down in the pile of items he had beside him. He then used several more items to test the disks alignment. He then picked up the last two items in the pile. One item was a book and the other was a large bag of what seemed to be baseball field chalk. He then walked up to the 8 disks and held the book open with one hand. He then took one handful of the chalk and threw it into the middle of the 8 disks.
Ronomon then began to chant something under his breath. The book that he was holding glowed and with that all the chalk dust that was in the bag flew into the air. After floating in the air for a moment the dust began to glow and formed a cyclone around the 8 disks. Once the cyclone cleared away the tamers, their families, and Yamachi saw that the dust had seemed to paint the grass, and it formed a very elaborate sort of circular design that included the 8 disks Ronomon had already laid out. He looked at the circle, appearing to be checking it for any flaws. When he seemed satisfied he set the book in the gym bag he had brought along, along with all the other items except the 8 disks and the newly formed circular pattern.
After a moment or two of silence Ronomon stepped into the center of the circular design, turned to his medium sized audience, and said, "Behold, the alchemy circle that will help me to bring all your partners back, but before I continue I must say one thing. This is your last chance, if you want to back out now you may."
"Why would we want to back out? So I have to live as Galentmon. We could all live like that for a day or so."
Ronomon then glared at Yamachi and it became evident to the tamers that Yamachi had left out something important.
"Let me fill in where I think Yamachi left off." Ronomon said, "You will have to go 5 days with sharing your bodies with your partners, and it will not be a mega level biomerge. I assume he mentioned the Reverse Biomerge and how your digimon is infused into you instead of vice-versa, but a mega level digimon only occurs when you are infused into them. When it is done in reverse, which is how it must be done, there will be no megas, just all of you with slightly different appearances. I assure you though, everything will be temporary. Except the fact your digimon will be here instead of in the digital world."
"I don't care if I am turned into full fledged Guilmon if that means that he can come back here to the real world, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that"
Ronomon turned to look at each tamer and when he did every one of them nodded at him.
Ronomon then looked at Jeri who began to get a little teary eyed. When Ronomon saw this and said, "OH, and by the way Jeri, thanks to the patience of Azulongmon, Leomon's data has been separated from Impmon's and he has been resurrected, good as new. He truly wishes to see. I would hope that you have those same feelings." Jeri's suddenly lit up with a light that no one had seen since Leomon was attacked by Beazelmon. Ronomon then continued, "So since every one is ready I will ask that you all hold your D-Powers up."
The tamers did as they were asked while Ronomon turned around and faced the pond. Then the sky began to darken with storm clouds as Ronomon began to focus his elemental bending. He then drew one of his blades a pointed it straight in front of him, pointing down toward the top of the circle and at the white disk. He then shouted out, "Light, the light of day and the goodness in all hearts." When he finished a fountain of light elemental energy sprang out form where the white disk was sitting. He then continued by pointing his sword toward the black colored disk and shouted, "Shadow, the darkness of night and the power of evil" The same thing happened again, but instead of a fountain of bright light essence a fountain of dark energy sprang form the earth and went straight up.
This process continued as Ronomon pointed his sword to the red disk for fire, to the light blue disk for ice, to the dark blue disk for water, to the yellow disk for Lightning, to the transparent disk for Air, and to the brown disk for Earth. When the eight fountains of the elemental energy were shooting out of the colored disks they started to bend toward the center and when they all contacted about a foot above Ronomon's head. He then sheathed his sword and threw his hands above his head. He then slowly drew them straight down, which caused the point where the fountains intersected to float down, and at the same time he began to float slightly above the ground.
Ronomon continued the process by adjusting his body so he was facing the white elemental fountain. The elemental spring for light moved slightly out of the way and Ronomon said, "Now by the power of Cosmo, the energy of the universe, the blending of the eight individual elements into one balanced form I cast this spell" The Cosmo energy then launched itself from Ronomon's hand and floated above the small pond in Rika's yard. It then formed into a small ball of energy. Ronomon then continued, "Let my wishes be done, that the tamers and digimon be one. Let them come together so that neither by apart. Let the conversion begin, so that all may be made right again."
With that the ball of light exploded and each tamer was hit by a small beam of energy that was released when the ball exploded. They all glowed slightly for a second and then fell down on to the ground, asleep. Their parents went up to them and picked their children up to take them home. Ronomon then turned back to the group and said, "You know what you will find in the morning, but it is only temporary. My next request is that you not worry that they aren't waking up in the morning. I have timed it so they will wake up in steps. Each tamer will wake about a few minutes after the one before them. I will arrive at all your houses just before they are due to awake. That it when I will fill them in on the situation." The families then left, knowing what would happen to their children during the night even if the tamers didn't know it themselves. In 10 minutes the party was cleared out and every one was on their way home.
Yamachi and Ronomon had stepped out of Rika's gate. Ronomon was about to get into the passenger side seat of the Hypnos van when Yamachi said, "It is going to be a very interesting around here over the next 5 days."
"You have no idea Yamachi." Ronomon said with a small smirk on his face.
Assistant: Well I am glad that this chapter is done, but I am still angry at you, Ronomon, for not telling me Renamon was coming sooner.
Ronomon: I didn't think it would be that big of difference.
Assistant: Not that big of difference. Look at this place, it's a pig sty.
Ronomon: Well then, we better start cleaning.
Assistant: Oh no. Since you waited to tell me about this little family reunion till the last minute. That means you get to do all the cleaning. Besides, I got readers here who need me to keep this story going.
Ronomon: But…
Assistant: Sorry buddy; No if, ands, or buts about it.
