Assistant: Well welcome back. The moment of truth has come, Renamon is due to arrive at the end of this chapter, and Ronomon is wearing a hole in the floor.

Ronomon: What are you talking about?

Assistant: What am I talking about, you have been pacing in that same spot for the past hour. Relax; Renamon won't blow up if everything isn't perfect.

Ronomon: I just want everything to be perfect, you see, she and Rika had a fight. That's kinda why she is coming over.

Assistant: Oh, you're just giving her some moral support.

Ronomon: That and a roof over her head.

Assistant: Hmmm. All right then. Oh and before I forget, 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.

Ronomon: We would also like to thank the three people who have reviewed the story so far. Your input is valued. Also for one of the reviewers who asked Assistant has enabled the anonymous review, for those to lazy to log in when they review a story. Now, let's continue our story.

Chapter 6

Day 2, No rest for the weary.

It was about 8:00 in the morning when Rika decided to get out of bed. She and Renamon had worked out a deal where they would trade control through out the day, but Rika was the one in control when it cam to things dealing with personal hygiene. She showered, brushed her teeth, and got dressed in her usual attire of blue jeans and a white T-shirt, this one with a broken heart on it since her one with a normal heart was in the wash. Rika was leaving her room when she heard Renamon's voice in her head. Renamon was saying, "So, what's on our schedule for today."

"I don't have anything planned," Rika thought back to her partner, "but I'm sure we will be able to find something to do, or my mother will have something already planned." Rika then heard her mother calling through the house for her to come to breakfast. When she got there her mother was the only one in the kitchen.

This made Rika ask, "Where's grandma?"

"She isn't feeling that well today so she is still in bed. Since she can't keep and eye on you today you get to come with me to work." Her mother replied. This made Rika sigh; she knew where this was leading. They would go to her mothers modeling agency, and through the entire day her mother would ask her to just try a few poses in front of the camera. It was her mother's newest technique in trying to make Rika become a module just like her. Rika sighed heavily and sat down to breakfast. When she was just finishing her meal an Idea popped into her head. She said to her mother, "All right, I will go with you to the modeling agency today, but I need to go to my room for a second. With that Rika quickly left the room and shut herself in her bedroom. She then closed her eyes and thought to Renamon, "Hay Renamon, want to do me a favor?"

Renamon replied to this, "This favor wouldn't have anything to do with me having control of the body while were at your mother's modeling agency, would it?"

"Nothing gets by you Renamon, so will you do it."

"Why not," Renamon replied, "I may just get to see why the heck you hate it so much, though you can't yell at me if I decide to make your mother happy by striking a few poses."

"Go right ahead, I'll just tell her that you were the one in control, and she will hound you instead of me." With that Rika pressed the blue button on her D-Switch and, with Renamon in control; the duo left Rika's room. They meet Mikino at the car. Renamon saying under her breath "Lets just see what this modeling thing is all about."

Across town at the Matsukie Bakery a loud snore could be heard coming from the bedroom of Takato Matsukie. A loud rapping came from his bedroom door. It was Takato's mother, she was yelling at the top of her lungs, "Takato, its time to get up. TAKATO!" With that the red button on Takato's D-Switch illuminated, and Takato slowly got up and rubbed his eyes, yawned and shouted back to her, "I'm up, I'M UP."

It took Takato about 45 minutes to finish waking up and get ready for the day. As he began to head down stairs to his families Bakery he thought he heard a loud snore. At first he thought it was his father, but soon realized it wasn't anyone he could see. He sighed heavily and closed his eyes. The snoring got louder, and Takato confirmed what he had feared. It was Guilmon in the Soul Room. He was still sawing some heavy logs. Takato tried to ignore the noise as he got ready to help his parents in the bakery. He couldn't believe that even looking like he did they had him working. He got ready, but ten minutes later he couldn't stand Guilmon's snoring and closed his eyes. He then got his mind ready and thought as if he was shouting as loud as he could, "GUILMON, IF I HAVE TO BE AWAKE RIGHT NOW SO DO YOU."

This caused Guilmon to slowly raise his head, and uncurl him self from his comfortable position in the soul room. He then yawned and said in a sleepy voice, "Why did you get me up Takatomon."

Takato smiled slightly and then said, "How many times must you call me that, it is just Takato."

"Sorry Takato," Guilmon responded

"Why were you so tired?"

"I got bored yesterday and decided to just run around in here, but it made me really tired.

"Well we got another day of working in the bakery, ready to help me make some Guilmon bread."

"YEAH, Guilmon bread, Guilmon bread, it's a piece of bread shaped just like my head." Guilmon chanted as Takato walked into the back room and began to kneed some dough, which he found difficult because he was constantly cutting the bread with his newly acquired claws. "Yep," Takato said to his mother, who was watching him, trying in vain to kneed the dough, "This is going to be a great day."

In another part of Town a young boy and little sister were enjoying breakfast. Though eating through their now elongated ears was proving a hassle. Finally Henry Wong gave up, and pressed the blue button on his D-Switch, soon Terriermon was in control of the body and he could hear Henry's voice in his head saying, "Why don't you satisfy our grumbling gut, you are the one with the experience of eating through these ears. Henry soon left the central part of the Soul Room and headed to the small living space to make some toast so he could at least put something in his mouth without getting them blasted ears on his plate. Suzie had saw Henry activate his D-Switch, she waited a few seconds and then asked, "Tewweiwmon, why did Henwy do that?"

Terriermon turned to look at Suzie, and said as he grabbed one of her ears, "He thought I would have a better time eating through these ears you and him have recently received." After saying that Terriermon saw the meal before him and started to eat, enjoying every bit. This was because since Henry and he had become joined, Henry had been in control of their body when ever they had eaten anything. Suzie thought about this and decided to do the same, and it proved beneficial for both of them. The two digimon had a much better time eating the food then the tamers had. This also gave Henry and Suzie time to think about how they could get out of the house. They had spent all of Day 1 of the spell inside at their parent's wishes, but they couldn't stand doing it today, it was a little cloudy outside, but otherwise it was a beautiful day to be outside. The brother and sister continued to think, while their digimon filled their plates a second time and began to stuff their faces again.

The story was same what ever tamer you were looking at. Each were getting up and discovering a little more about their partners. Learning about both the advantages and the disadvantages of being a digital monster, or at least part digimon. Ronomon and Yamachi were also having a semi normal morning. Ronomon had cooked a nice breakfast again, and the he was preparing for a day of checking up on the Tamers, when he noticed that Yamachi had not dressed in his usual Business suit, but in a short sleeve, light blue, button down shirt and a pair of blue jeans. Ronomon stared for a moment until Yamachi turned and said, "What, I don't have to the Hypnos. I decided to join you for your quick romp around the city to check on the tamers. I hope you don't mind."

Ronomon looked at him quite surprised by this, and said, "Sure, but I have a schedule to keep. I was hoping to enjoy a leisurely afternoon, but you can come with me on one condition."

"And what, prey tell, would that be."

"Simple, you take my way of travel, it will take all day if you have to drive to every tamers location, but by taking my way, traveling by shadows, I can get the whole lot of them done in three to three and a half hours. So, do you trust me enough to travel in the realm of shadows?"

"If you were trying to scare me it didn't work." Yamachi said as he stood up from the table and began to take his dishes to the sink, "I think I can handle it, so are we going now, or do you want to wait a minute."

"There is no time like the present," Ronomon said, and then quickly began to say in a very kind, but professional voice, "Attention all passengers, the shadow express is leaving in a few moments. Please, find a decent sized shadow and step on top of it. We will depart when everyone was ready." When Ronomon finished he looked at Yamachi who was shaking his head in disbelief that Ronomon had just done that. He did do as he was asked. He looked around and stepped onto the shadow of the nearby couch. He then saw Ronomon step on the shadow being cast by the diner table and watched as Ronomon sank into the Shadow. He then noticed he was doing the same, but he stayed put, and when he was completely submerged he looked around to see the endless darkness. Yamachi then suddenly had the sensation that he was moving, and very fast for that matter.

He then felt a sudden stop that almost threw him off balance, and felt like he was going up in an elevator. He closed his eyes for a second and when he opened him he saw Ronomon watching him as he rose out the shadow of a Tree. He looked around and saw they were in front of a modeling agency. He looked at Ronomon who said, "First pair were visiting is my sister and her tamer Rika." He then began to walk in the door and Yamachi did the same. It didn't go over very well, because as soon as the secretary saw them she called security, and they were being pushed out of the building, but before they could get to the door way they heard a woman saying behind them, "Stop, its okay. I know both of them and I promise they will not get in trouble." The secretary and security guards must have believed them because Ronomon and Yamachi were soon released from the security guards grips.

Yamachi and Ronomon turned to see who their rescuer was and they were thankful to see it was Mikino, Rika's mother and one of the best models at the agency. She motioned them to follow her and they did. Mikino lead the two to an elevator, and after they were on and the doors were closed Mikino asked, "So, what is the occasion Yamachi, thinking about becoming a model."

Ronomon was chuckling at this while Yamachi responded, "Nope, just decided to join Ronomon while he checked up on all the tamers."

Mukino then said, "Good, that outfit you're wearing is terrible. I would stick with your usual attire of a black formal business suit." This was the breaking point for Ronomon and he let out a good laugh, even with Yamachi glaring at him in embarrassment. They got to the 23rd floor of the building and got off the elevator. They followed Mikino through a hallway, passing by many photo studios were modules were posing in elegant dresses to swim ware. They walked for a few minutes when Mikino finally turned and opened the door to one of the Studios. The studio behind the door was one of the simpler rooms. With just the basic set up it had a couple of cameras, a set up of lights, and a white sheet hung against the back wall. They noticed how simplistic the room was compared to the others they saw into while they were walking down the hall.

Mikino then said to them, "Welcome to the simplest studio in the building, our camera test room."

Ronomon turned to look at her and asked, "Camera test, what is a camera test?"

Mikino then replied, "Its just the persons chance to show their stuff and the companies chance to see how they look on film."

Ronomon nodded in an understanding manner and turned when he heard a familiar voice say, "Man, this dress itches." Ronomon looked at Rika/Renamon. She was wearing a simple black dress, with full coverage of her shoulders and a slit down its side for view of the yellow fury legs. I looked at her a moment and turned to see Yamachi in a slight state of shock. I tapped on his shoulder and asked, "Hay, Yamachi. Are you still with us?"

Yamachi was broken from his shock induced coma and said, "Sorry, but I never though I would see Rika in a dress and not scowling at the world in general."

"I looked over at Rika/Renamon, toke a look at the eyes and said, "Well you still have yet to see the day, I do believe it is Renamon in control right now." With that Yamachi turned to look at Renamon and asked, "Really, is that you in control right now Renamon?"

"Yes, but how could you tell it was me with out seeing the D-Switch?"

"It is a little something I added to the spell to help me keep the facts straight about who's in control and whose in the soul room. It's all in the eyes."

"The eyes." Yamachi and Renamon said in relative unison.

"Yes, The old saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul seemed fitting for the situation, so I add to the spell and made it so the eyes would match who ever is control of the body. For example, when Rika is in control her violet eyes can be seen, but when Renamon is in control the eye color is changed to her beautiful blue."

"Really, let's prove it then. Renamon, do you have your D-Switch." Yamachi said as he turned to Renamon.

"Yes," Renamon responded, "and I know where you're heading with this." Renamon then pressed the red button on the D-Switch as Yamachi watched her eyes closely. He didn't notice any change until Renamon blinked. At that moment the eye color changed and so did the control over the body. Yamachi saw the eyes had turned violet, and he then heard Ronomon say, "Do you believe me now, or will you have to examine each tamer's eyes as they change control."

Yamachi turned and said, "Alright, you were right. I did notice the change in eye color." While Yamachi was saying this Rika had already pressed the blue button on the D-Switch and had given control back to Renamon.

"Yeah," Ronomon replied. "It is actually a simple little spell, it modifies a small piece of… the…" The expression on his face suddenly changed from is gentle constant smile to a grimace of anger as he turned to look out the door of the studio. He then turned to see Yamachi and Renamon who were looking at him with looks of worries. "Yamachi, you and Renamon are to remain here. Do not go outside this building for any reason."

Renamon said, "Why are you saying this Ronomon."

"The reason I say this is you may have a fighter's spirit and some of your body, but the body in general is still Rika's and it is no where near as durable against attack as your normal body. I hope what I am sensing is wrong, but no matter if I'm right or wrong I want you to promise me you will stay here until I come back. Will you promise?"

"I don't know what you're sensing, but I will promise you I will not be the one to leave this building."

"Thank you Renamon." Ronomon said as he turned and run out of the room. He entered the stair well and jumped down entire stories as he raced toward the outside of the building. When he finally got outside his fears were realized. There, in the middle of the street was an alchemy circle, no not an alchemy circle, but the alchemy circle; the alchemy circle that allowed him to bring the digimon's data to the real world. He knew that this was a risk he was taking when he used the alchemy. When he used the alchemy circle a similar circle had appeared in the digital world, now the one digimon Ronomon feared had found the circle and was using it to send viral digimon to the real world. That wasn't his greatest fear though. Any bioemerging digimon would have to do what the tamers digimon had to do, they would have to find a human being to reverse biomerge with, but since he wasn't directing the spell the stronger of the two would gain control. In most cases it would be the digimon, and without a D-Switch he had no way of giving the human control over their body again. He frantically looked around and saw the unlucky soul. A person had fainted on the ground, and now was being covered in a cocoon of shadows. When the man emerged he had become clothed in a business suit much like Yamachi would usually wear, but is had a black tie and a gray undershirt. The persons face had turned pale, they had sprouted great bat like wings that appeared to be badly damage. Ronomon watched as the creature got up off the ground.

Ronomon closed his eyes, sensed what souls were in the body, and said, "What have you done with the soul of the human. I know that you are in control Devimon." With that the person who had been infused with a Devimon's data opened his eyes, reveling eyes of pure red.

The Devimon then said, "I may be weaker in this form, but if my understanding of the situation is correct you won't attack me because you would risk hurting the human."

"He might not attack, but I will." Devimon quickly turned to see his challenger and got a Diamond Storm attack right in his face. He step back and picked a few Energy Diamonds out of his head while Ronomon turned to see Rika/Renamon standing on the other side of Devimon in Rika's usual attire of blue jeans and a t-shirt with a heart on it."

"Renamon," Ronomon shouted, "You promised me you would stay inside." Ronomon then noticed the eyes. The eyes were not of his sister, but were of Rika. She then activated here D-Switch giving Renamon control.

Ronomon then heard his sister's cool voice say, "I promised you I would not be the one to leave the building, but Rika was the one to leave. Now I have to fight, because she somehow used me special attack. Now do you want to tell me something?"

"Fine," Ronomon replied turning to the rising Devimon, "When I brought you and the other digimon to the real world I had hoped that my alchemy would not do something, but it did. It remained active, now digimon can bioemerge again. The difference is that they have to bioemerge like you guys did; they have to find a human host. Otherwise their data would begin to dissipate from our world like when your digimon had to return to the digital world." When Ronomon finished saying this Devimon had picked the final piece of diamond out of his face and was turning to fight with Ronomon. When Ronomon noticed this he drew both of his two blades and said, "It is time to free the human from this viral digimon. Renamon I am angry you have gone against my wishes, but now that you're here you can help me. Care to do a little tag team." Renamon nodded at this statement and the two lunged into battle. Devimon saw this and lunged at Ronomon. Devimon began attacking ferociously with his claws, but Ronomon simply blocked each attack with his swords. Devimon then felt a great pain in his back as Renamon had just come down on him with her foot hard. He was down on the ground. They seemed to have won when Devimon began to fidget. Ronomon saw this and said to Renamon, "Quickly, I need you to launch one of your diamond storms at me."

"You want me to attack you, why." Renamon asked while she was glaring at Devimon as he struggled to get up.

"Do it and you will see for yourself." Ronomon replied beginning to enter a low fighting stance.

"If you say so." Renamon said as she jumped into the air and yelled, "DIAMOND STORM." With that she released her devastating special attack at her brother, but instead of harming him the diamonds were absorbed into Ronomon and it seemed that their power was being transferred into his right hand blade. At that same time his left hand blade began to glow a mixture of ruby red, sapphire blue, and jade green. He then ran toward Devimon and shouted, "Let the precious jewels of the earth release your soul, GEM STONE MAILTRUME" With that he released an attack similar to his sisters, but with two key differences. The first was energy crystals were in a rainbow of colors, and the second was they were being released from Ronomon's swords instead of his body directly. The devastating strike hit Devimon hard and after the flash of light emitted by the attack Renamon saw that as the dust cleared there were two people standing there. One was the human man who had been possessed by Devimon. He quickly fainted and fell to the ground after the smoke had cleared. The second entity, Devimon, cringed in pain and broke apart into data. Renamon rushed up to tend to the man's wounds only to find he didn't have a scratch on him. Not even from when she had attacked him directly. She looked up at her brother, who was seething his swords.

She heard Rika from the back of her mind say, "How the hell did he do that."

"I'll tell you Rika, the Gem Stone Maelstrom attack was specially created to break apart the fusion produced by my alchemy circle, don't worry though. I have a much nicer method planned for all the tamers and their digimon." Rika and Renamon were shocked. How was he able to hear Rika?

Renamon thought to Rika, "I hope that was just a lucky guess."

Rika replied back to her, "I hope you are right."

Ronomon then walked up to them and said, "Would you to please stop chatting, we need to get back to Rika's house now so that I can stop the alchemy circle before something really bad gets through." As Ronomon said this Yamachi, Mikino, and some of the other staff member were running towards them. Mikino was rushing toward Rika/Renamon to give them a loving hug, but was stopped by Ronomon. He said, "We don't have time for these things. Yamachi, Renamon, I need you two to come with me to Rika's house. I could go there myself, but I will need Rika/Renamon's help again and Yamachi knows some of the best short cuts through the town."

Yamachi asked, "Why can't we travel by shadows."

"The reason we can't travel by shadows is the alchemy circle had now become so active it is attempting to block any other form of mystic transportation. I could try to over power it, but I wouldn't risk it if I was transporting someone else in the shadows.

"What are you taking about? What alchemy circle." Yamachi asked again.

"I will explain everything on the way, but now we have a long run ahead of us and we need to get moving now. " With that the group of three started running toward Rika's house, Ronomon and Rika/Renamon ran along the roof tops while Yamachi had borrowed a set of walky talkies and a car from the Modeling agency. Yamachi picked up his walky talky and said into it, "All right were heading to Rika's. I think it is about time you fill me in on the situation."

Ronomon spoke into his walky talky and said, "Your right, this is the situation." The grouped continued to speed through the town towards Rika's house, but it wouldn't be that simple. Somewhere in Shinjuku Park the alchemy circle appeared again and this time a person jogging by became the new host to the newest digimon to enter the real world. Her clothing changed into a long black leather evening dress, with a sleeve on one side and a tattered one on the other. Her skin turned pale and her eyes became a solid red. The woman got up and jumped into the air which caused to great wings to appear that were similar to Devimon's. She shouted as she rose into the sky, "I must take revenge for the death of my master, Ronomon you are hunted by LadyDevimon."

Assistant: Finally I get to some action, and it will only continue when I post chapter 7

Knock, Knock.

Ronomon: That's Renamon, you ready Assistant.

Assistant: I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

Ronomon: (goes over and opens the door) Hi yeah Renamon.
