Assistant: Well, Renamon just got settled in, and Ronomon had began to calm down.

Ronomon: Ahhh, she needs water. (Ronomon sprints into the room and then to the kitchen. We hear water running, and Ronomon sprints back to Renamon with a glass of water in hand.)

Assistant: Well, a little bit. I swear he must be the best big brother in the world. Oh well, I can't be worried about that. I have a disclaimer to do. , 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. Now on to the 7th chapter,

(We hear a crash in the other room and Renamon yelling something that should never be repeated)

Assistant: I better go check on that, enjoy the story.

Chapter 7

A New Tamer and a New Champion.

Ronomon, Rika/Renamon, and Yamachi were still speeding through the town towards Rika's house, though the travel was difficult. The alchemy circle had been making their travel difficult. First it had made every stop light in the city turn red. It then began trying to take control of Yamachi's car, but because of Ronomon's quick actions the alchemy circle had been stopped and they were able to continue their journey. The alchemy circle was also causing some random destruction. The reason it was causing this destruction was it need elemental energy, and without Ronomon there to feed the circle the necessary elemental forces it need to steal them from anywhere and anything. Rika was the one currently in control of her and Renamon's body. As she and Ronomon were bounding across the roof tops with Yamachi following about a block behind them in the modeling agency's car. Ronomon had to admit the Rika was doing pretty well to keep up with him.

As they jumped from roof top to roof top she said, "I hope we don't run into any more digimon/human infusions."

"I must agree," Ronomon replied, "I am also worried about who the next bioemergant will be." As if on queue Yamachi came in over the walky talky and said, "Hay you two, I have a bit of a problem down here."

Ronomon responded, "What kind of problem?"

Yamachi shouted, "The kind of problem that only you two can deal with." Ronomon and Rika turned and saw Yamachi's car was being attacked by a human/digimon fusion. The two rushed down to the street level and while they ran Rika gave control of the body to Renamon, knowing Renamon would be better in a fight then her. When they arrived Yamachi had just escaped the car when he had caught fire. Ronomon rushed up to him, grabbed him, and ran out the way. As soon as they turned to run the cars gas had caught fire and it exploded. While the smoke billowed they could hear the laughter of the human/digimon. Ronomon drew his swords and walked toward the attacker.

When he got near to her he said, "It is time I separate your evil from the good of the person you attacked, LadyDevimon."

"That must make you Ronomon." She said as she turned toward him, "I have been looking for you?"

"Why have you been looking for him?" Yamachi said to the beast in a harsh voice, trying to hide the fact he was quite surprised when this thing attacked him with such power.

LadyDevimon turned toward Yamachi and said, "I have been searching for him for one reason. To kill him and avenge the death of my master Devimon." With that she turned her attention back toward Ronomon and lunged toward him. Ronomon took on a fighting stance and with that the battle began. Ronomon was truly having trouble with this one. He wasn't getting hurt, but LadyDevimon's attacks were coming to fast and he couldn't find a large enough window to strike. All he could do was defend and he knew that eventually he would tire and she would be able to get some of her attacks to land on his flesh instead of his swords' steel. Renamon and Yamachi watched this in horror. Renamon would have jumped in already, but she knew that would be too great of risk. With her current body she can fight, but one hit from that digimon could be fatal, and then not only would she die but Rika would to. So she stood their ready to defend Yamachi. Yamachi was also watching this. Not worrying about if he should go help, but whether or not Ronomon was going to be alright. Yamachi had to admit that over the several days that he had spent with Ronomon he had gotten used to seeing the blue fox in the mornings, cooking breakfast. Yamachi started to play with his lighter. He wanted to help Ronomon so much, but how could he. He wasn't like the kids. He wasn't a tamer. He couldn't just swipe a card and make everything better, but he felt he had to do something. He had become attached to Ronomon, enjoyed his quite nature, his cool temper, and his ability to make him laugh. He was one of the few people in the world that Yamachi knew he could talk to about anything. Just as he began to think of this he heard a yell of pain as Ronomon was thrown back against the wall of a nearby building. LadyDevimon had caught both of his swords in her hands and dealt him a devastating blow to his stomach with her knee. Then while he was distracted she had used her special attack, its force sent him flying. Renamon and Yamachi quickly ran up, but were stopped, not by LadyDevimon, but by Ronomon. He was holding his paw up in a message to stop. He then picked up his blades again and resumed the battle, even though he was already badly injured. Yamachi was amazed. Ronomon was putting his life on the line to save him and Rika/Renamon. He could understand Rika/Renamon, but when Ronomon had stopped the pair he had shifted his eyes from Rika/Renamon to him and had sent the message to Yamachi, through his eyes, that he wanted him to stay where it was safe. He couldn't though. He felt a felling in his heart that spread to the rest of his body. He couldn't just stand there. He had to help Ronomon, and was willing to give up his own life to just give Ronomon a fighting chance. Just then Ronomon had been shoved against a wall again and was in LadyDevimon's clutches. Just when she was preparing her finishing blow something appeared before Yamachi. It was a sphere of light, and as he lifted his hands to touch it the ball disappeared, but there was something in Yamachi's hand. He look down in pure shock, it was a digivice. Much like the tamers, but it had a black plastic case instead of white and had sapphire blue parts on it. The D-Power was still glowing when Yamachi came to his senses and pointed it at Ronomon. A beam of pure white light shot out of it and hit Ronomon. In an instant Ronomon's wounds were healed, and something else was happening. A digital field appeared and Ronomon began to Digivolve.

Ronomon digivolve to…

When the field disappeared and the smoke cleared they saw the end result of the digivolution. The creature still looked a lot like Ronomon, but he had gained some samurai style armor on his feet, shines, chest, shoulders, and arms. He had also gained a large shield on his left arm which had an alchemy circle embedded in it. His two swords were replaced with one and he had lost his bow and quiver of arrows. He had a long sapphire blue cape draping from his shoulders. On the outside of they saw another large alchemy circle, while on the inside was an image of the night sky. The new digimon drew his sword, and as he did the sword began to glow a bright shinning white. Yamachi looked at this marvel, and then turned his head when he heard Renamon say, "Apprenticemon, champion level digimon. The evolved form of Ronomon this digimon is the Apprentice to an ultimate level digimon named Elementalmon. He has a strong mastery of the elements and of alchemy. His special attacks are elemental shield, elemental swords, and the Ying Yang Beam." Yamachi turned his head again to look at the new form of Ronomon. Had he done this, was the feeling he had to help Ronomon strong enough to make him digivolve. What else could explain it?

With no more worries about who would win the fight Yamachi yelled to Apprenticemon, "Now I hope you can defeat this witch, and free the lady she has possessed."

Yamachi heard Apprenticemon say, "Give me five minutes." With that he lunged at the still shocked LadyDevimon, but this time she was on the defensive and doing much .worse then Ronomon at defending herself. In 2 minutes she was on the ground on the brink of destruction. Apprenticemon was standing over her when he suddenly turned to Rika/Renamon and said, "Another Diamond Storm please." Renamon, who had been watching the fight in aw, snapped back into reality and obliged Apprenticemon by throwing a Diamond Storm at him. Yet again the attack was absorbed by him, but this time his shield began to glow with the light of Renamon's Diamond Storm. Then Apprenticemon raised his sword and it turned black and began to glow with a dark haze around it. He then inserted the blade into a slot in the back of his shield, and activated the alchemy circle on the shields face. The shield's image quickly morphed into the symbol for Ying and Yang. It then began to glow much brighter. As Apprenticemon yelled, "Ying Yang Beam" he pointed his shield at LadyDevimon much like when Gallantmon uses his shield of the just. The shield sent out a beam as wide as the shield itself. The beam was a swirling mixture of white and black energy. It hit LadyDevimon with deadly accuracy, but as with the Gem Stone Maelstrom all it did was return the girl to normal and vanquished LadyDevimon. While Renamon was going to see if the girl was alright Yamachi walked up beside the now 9ft tall blue fox. He looked up to notice that the Apprentices eyes were tearing up slightly.

Yamachi joked, "What's with you Apprenticemon, did digivolving make it so you can't cook anymore."

"It's not that Yamachi. I just can't believe I have a tamer now." Apprenticemon said as he turned and knelt so his eyes were closer to Yamachi's eye level.

Yamachi responded, "Well I am quite surprised myself that I get to be a tamer at all, it seemed to only be a place for kids."

"Well will just have to show them all that the older generation can do this stuff just as well as they can, if not better."

"Yeah, you're right, but please tell me you have mastered Dedigivolving, I don't want to have you waiting outside in the park. Standing there waiting to get back down to your usual 6ft height." As in response Apprenticemon closed his eyes and began to glow, he changed back into his rookie form and said, "Is that proof enough."

Yamachi smiled and said, "Yep, now let's get going, we are still a fair ways from Rika's house." Yamachi began to run, but before he had gotten 10 steps away he felt something pick him up in its arms. It was Ronomon, and with Rika/Renamon running right beside them they made much better time to Rika's house.

Back a Rika's house the alchemy circle which Ronomon had drawn there reactivated. This time the target was not a human, but a swarm of bats that had taken to using the nearby tree as a home. All of them were dragged into the circle's area and with a bright flash they all disappeared. In their place sat a digimon who was created from all the smaller living animals in the area. His body was exactly like it was in the digital world, but it was in the real. He turned and said, "I have been brought here to stop someone from getting rid of this alchemy circle. That digimon has promised me rule of this world if I oblige so, let these trouble makers come. I, Myotismon, am easily capable of destroying a few week digimon to secure my place as ruler of this world.

Assistant: Finally, I know you all saw it coming, Yamachi is the new tamer. Remember though that Ronomon is still mine and is only playing the part in the story.

(Renamon walks into the room, and sits down on the couch. She begins to flip through the TV channels)

Assistant: Hi Renamon

Renamon: Hi

Assistant: Where is Ronomon?

Renamon: He's out cold on my bed.

Assistant: What happened?

Renamon: He spilt that water on me and I was already tired of his obsessing.

Assistant: Would you watch this story then, I better go make sure he doesn't need medical attention.

Renamon: Fine.
