Chapter 6
It was around noon when they got to File Connect. Ranamon and IceLeomon greeted them. He sits back and lets the others talk to them. He looks over at his brother. Kouji was watching the interactions to his right. He turns to watch as Ranamon flirt a bit with Takato, who has changed back into a human in front of the pair. He could see that Takato was a bit nervous about the flirting. It looks like they found something to bug Takato about.
He looks to see Guilmon looking toward something unseen. He was puzzled about it, and then thought that it had something to do with the building. He searches for Calamon and finds that the little guy was on Izzy's head. He smiles at that, for usually Calamon prefers Takato, Ken, Takuya, Davis, Kouji, or himself to fall asleep on. He could see Patamon on T.K.'s head; he also finds Kage and Sky talking to the other Digimon of the group, but Calamon and Guilmon.
As his thoughts drift for ten minutes and then he's twin shakes him out of his thoughts. He smiles sheepishly and follows the group. They stop when Guilmon and Takato stop. Takato changes into Drakemon and flies up with Tentomon and Patamon following him. Soon the ropes are thrown down and they each take turns with the three ropes. Guilmon flies up when Takato swipes a card. Soon they are a few steps away from the doorway. Takato, T.K., and Davis roll up the ropes, but they hold on to them.
Kage opens the door and they walk through the doorway. Once everyone is inside, the last one closes the door. Then they wait for a minute before opening the door. Tommy opens it and walks outside, and they follow his lead.
They soon see the huge tree that was Dire. Soon they all were on the off the roof. Guilmon was still up there with Takato; soon they see Takato and Guilmon fly off the roof. They look around and then hear an "Ahem." They look to see Dire's human form. He had to admit that as a human, Dire was breath taking. He wonders if anyone else was attracted to Dire as a human.
"It's nice to see you. How have things been?" Takato asks the Dire. Dire smiles sadly and answers, "Two things have happened at the Tendo's. First Nabiki has partnered up with an EmeraldBiyomon. The next is that Genma and Soun have been found died. Kasumi and NeoDevimon are at the Dojo." They all look surprised at the news, mostly at the one with the deaths then the one about Nabiki.
After three minutes T.K. says, "Thanks for telling us. Could you open a portal to the Dojo for us, please?" Dire nods and a portal opens. They all walk through it.

She waits for Takato and the guys to come back. They might be coming back after supper, so the were taking turns. She finds a portal forming and she wakes Gatomon, who's on her right taking a catnap. Gatomon took one look at the energy portal and left to get Rika and the others.
Ken with Wormon in his arms was the first one to step through the portal with Calamon on his head. Then T.K. with Patamon on his head, next Kouji and Kouichi, then Henry with Terriermon on his shoulders and J.P., Ryo with Cyberdramon, next Davis with Kage and Sky, Izzy with Tentomon and Tommy were next, and Takuya came through before Takato and Guilmon.
All the guys were back and she waves at them. T.K. with Patamon comes over as the others head into the house. "Dire told us about Nabiki and about Genma and Soun. How are Ranma, Kasumi, and Nabiki?" T.K. asks with worry in his voice. She sighs, glad that they were told. She then says to her childhood friend, "They're sad but with BlueMeramon, NeoDevimon, and Emerald, they'll be fine in time. They don't even have any bodies or ashes. They went to Ranma's mothers today. I think they have the tombstones and are already at a graveyard. I don't know when they might get back. It must be horrible to find out that your fathers are died and that you can't even have a funeral for them." She tells T.K. and Patamon. T.K. nods and Patamon says, "Why didn't they ever come back to the Dojo?" She sighs and answers, "They were scared of Guilmon." T.K. and Patamon just look shocked at that. "Guilmon? He's a really nice Digimon! He might be a virus but his kind and friendly. I know I was scared the first time I meet him, but he's like an big kid." T.K. says. They then just began to head to the Dojo. They didn't know just what to say, they just wanted to be with each other.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
He looks at Ray and Oro, and then at Mane. He sighs and focuses himself to relax. After about four minutes, Fenir was taking inventory of damage to the countryside. It seems his cousin, Fate, had sent a message about what happened. The Inu'Dor had casted a spell on the Anchor and Fate used up most of her energy to disrupt the spell. Sadly, the six realities had received some damage, luckily though, about fourteen realities under the GL's control received more then they had. The only good thing was that Inu'Dor lost five members and there will be a very long pause before they could try to recast a better spell.
"So, Fate's ok, though?" He asks calmly to Mane. Mane nods and says, "Her friend is helping her to recover. The message came from him." He feels relief at the fact that someone that Fate trusts was helping her. "Who?" He asks Mane. "A MarineAngemon, I forget the name." Mane says. He nods and looks to Ray and Oro. "Are there any one hurt in your unit?" Ray answers "Will got a few scratches from the rock slide. Irpor was there to block most of the rocks. Kim was knocked out but nothing really wrong with him that a good night sleep wouldn't fix." Oro then begins to speak for the Digimon partners, "Herk and Xalim have been found by their partners. Herk might have sprained his arm and Xalim just needs rest. The others just got rattled, though." He sighs in relief that nobody was serious injured.
He knew about three Digimon in his unit that were going more days to recover from their injures. In Mane's unit about one got a broken leg and four other got scratches. From Fenir's unit about six were going to need more days to recover and one just received a few scratches.
He looks around at them and says, "Not that many, the locals will reporting later about the damages to their homes and how many are injured. You're dismissed; I hope you get some rest. I don't need any of you falling asleep on duty." He says to them and the all nod in agreement and then they leave him alone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Rika finds him sit in the kitchen. Guilmon was with the other Digimon, watching a movie. He couldn't get the thought that it was his fault that they went bar hopping. If he hadn't come to this world, they might have stayed at the Dojo. Sure Digimon would be attacking their world, but there was a good chance that they would have lived through it. He also knew that he wouldn't have met Ranma or Kasumi. He knew that Ranma would still be having trouble with his water base curse and girl problem. Ranma might never have a real friend … He sighs at the thought, for he knew that Ranma hadn't had any real friends for most of his live.
He finally notices Rika when she puts her hand on his. He looks at her and then out the window. "It feels like it's my fault about they going bar hopping." He tells her. Rika sighs and then says, "They were cowards. If they couldn't see that Guilmon didn't mean any harm then it's their own fault for running away from their families. Ranma, Nabiki, and Kasumi don't blame you. You did some nice things for Kasumi and Ranma. From there you helped to take some of the pressure off Nabiki to earning money to keep up with the repairs. She even got a steady business without black-mailing people." He looks into Rika's eyes and nods, "I knew from the way Kasumi talked about her family that some weird things happen and that neither her father or Ranma's dad did anything productive. Trouble seems to happen when they tried to do anything. The first time I met the whole family was when they belittled him for not returning to them to carry this huge pack. I couldn't understand why they expected Ranma leave the house when he was already there. I didn't get why they blamed Ranma when it was Akane that sent Ranma flying through the air." Rika raises an eyebrow at that. "Really?" Rika asks, he nods. "Geeze, didn't they have any redeeming traits?" Rika asks, he shook his head. "None that Ranma or Kasumi knew of. Genma was a thief and child abuser. I'm amazed that Ranma hadn't just abandoned the guy. I know that before Soun's wife died, he was respected man and good father. After she died, he became a real mess. He cried very easily and didn't have much of a back bone." He tells Rika. She snorts at that, she shook her head. "They might have gotten what they deserved, but their children and Ranma's mother didn't deserve this though." Rika tells him.
They sit by the window and after fifteen minutes they hear Izzy called to them. They get up and head to where they heard him. They met up with the others are they got to the room. They find Izzy in front of his laptop. Izzy motions for them to get closer. They try and then they sit down. "I received a message from Cassandra about some kind of attack. It seems that the GL are getting desperate. They plan to disconnect the six realities under Stalker's control. I don't think I need to tell you about what could happen if that happens?" They all shook their head; they all remember what Cassandra had said. "It seem that this group called Inu'Dor did a casting this morning. Guyver's cousin, Fate, was able to disrupt the spell. Five members of the Inu'Dor got deleted. Also, Guyver's been trying to get the Stalkers to let us help them with this. Guyver has yet to receive an answer to that." Takato had suddenly remembered that feeling at breakfast that Guilmon shared. 'So, that's what Guilmon and I felt. It was that spell, but why did Guilmon and I feel it? Were we the only one who did?" "So, when do they need us?" Davis asks. Izzy sighs and says, "First of all, we don't have the equipment to make a portal. And as for using that lab in that pocket dimension, I wouldn't know how to open one for months. So we're stuck for the moment."
They all think about that and it was J.P. that asks Davis, "You said that your Digivice aloud you to open portals when you were in the GL territories? If we could enter that tunnel between dimensions, couldn't Davis take us to where we need to go?" Davis look stunned and then nods slowly. "I forgot about that! If Dire opens the way, then Davis could get us to Tayth 832." Izzy says as they all look at Davis. Davis looks around at all the staring faces; he could tell that Davis was nervous with all the attention he was getting. "I'll give it a try." Davis says and they all look at each other. They now had something to do. "We'll wait until tomorrow. We'll tell Ranma, Nabiki, and Kasumi tonight when they get back. I think it will be wised to start packing." Izzy suggests and they took that as a dismissal.
Rika and him head to the living room. They were going to have a game. Then they'll go pack. He plans to change into Drakemon and try to put most of his things into his pouch. It seems that the rest period has come to an end and soon they're going to wish they had more time to sleep. Thoughts of Genma and Soun were pushed out as new thoughts of what might happen in the near future began to play in his head. Rika lies down a card and begins the card game.
