Welcome to another chapter of a New World. I apologize again for writing out such a short chapter. I hope I can make it up with this chapter. Anyway, in this chapter, Flamedramon will discover the truth about his life, and he will meet Renamon for the first time.
Chapter 4: The Truth
Guilmon's Hideout
"Wow, you sure like that bread!" Terrimon said as he watched Flamedramon eat his seventh piece. "Well I haven't eaten since yesterday morning." Flamedramon replied. "Plus, this bread is very good!" Flamedramon was about to ask Guilmon for another piece of bread when he noticed the two tamers, Takato and Henry, were coming back. Perhaps they will tell me if they know Davis he thought. The young man named Taktao came into the stoned house, and Flamedramon could read the look on his face. That was look was of worry, and confusion. I wonder why he is looking like that.
What am I going to tell him. Takato thought as he walked over to the Dragon digimon. How am I going to tell him that his friends and his partner are not real? While Henry stood near the door, Takato sat down on the floor so he could be eye-level with Flamedramon.
"Flamedramon …. We know Davis."
"You do! Can you take me to him?" Flamedramon asked.
Takato avoided Flamedramon's gaze by looking to the ground. This was going to be hard to tell him. "We can't." he said softly.
"Why not?" Flamedramon questioned
Takato fell silent, and thought to himself, This is going to crush him, but I have to tell him. The question is how am I going to tell him if I can't make the words come out of my mouth. that's when Takato remembered something. "Henry, can you pass me my backpack?" Takato asked. Henry nodded, and threw Takato his old backpack. Takato quickly started to go through the contents of the backpack. He took out many school supplies, but still couldn't find that particle item. Then Takato finally pulled it out. The thing Takato held in his hand was an old Digimon Card Beckett. Takato skimmed the old pages, and found the one article he had been looking for. Taktao opened the magazine, and placed it in front of Flamedramon. "Flamedramon read this article. I think it can explain more than I can." Takato said softly.
Flamedramon didn't quite understand why Takato was acting this way, and why he wanted him to read this article. Flamedramon looked at the magazine, and saw a face all too familiar.
"Hey, there's Davis."
Flamedramon couldn't believe it. Right there in front him was a picture of Davis smiling, and giving a thumbs up. However, Flamedramon's enthusiasm quickly fell as he saw the headline that ran across the top of the article.
"Digimon: Season 2 Now On DVD"
As Flamedramon looked over the pictures, again he could see there were photos of him, and his friend's battles with the digimon emperor. "Why are there photos of me, and my friends in this magazine?" Flamedramon asked as he looked back at Takato.
"Read that comment on the lower left hand side." Takato said in calm and quiet tone. Flamedramon took his eyes away from the young man, and looked back at the article to where the comment was.
The comment read:
Digimon Season 2 on DVD will be another amazing jump for the ever-popular series. This DVD will be the best Fictional amine completed series on the market.
Flamedramon froze at that one word that caught his eye [Fictional].
A look of shock, and confusion came over Flamedramon as he continued to stare at that comment. Fictional! What does this mean? he thought. He looked up at Takato and Henry with confusion in his eyes. "What does this mean?" he said.
Takato took a deep breath, and replied, "I'm sorry, but Davis Motimiya, and your friends aren't real. In this world you and the others… are characters of a T.V. show." Sadness and shock quickly came over Flamedramon as he tried to understand this news.
The dragon digimon looked up at Takato with eyes that were nearly watered with tears.
"So this means my life was never real, that I was never in control of my destiny. My friends, my partner were never real. How could this happen?"
"I don't know, but we will try to find out?"
"Yeah we can figure out how you got here if you can tell us what you remember before you woke up here."
Henry said as he came, and sat beside Takato.
Flamedramon looked at the ground, then back at the two tamers. "I don't remember a lot, but I can tell you what I know."
With that, Flamedramon told the tamers of how he and Davis were notified that the Digimon Emperor was attacking a village in the Digital world. Flamedramon also, explain how the he saved Davis, and was pulled into a dark portal.
"After I entered the portal I fell unconscious, and woke up here." He finished.
"Did you just say you entered a portal?" Takato asked.
Flamedramon nodded. "Yes, I do remember entering a portal of some sort."
"That would make sense." Henry said.
Takato nodded and turned back towards Flamedramon "Yeah, and maybe this portal brought you from a world were the digidestined are real." Flamedramon looked up at Takato with hope in his eyes. "You think so?" Flamedramon asked.
"I'm sure" he replied.
Flamedramon then remembered something about portals. They usual close after something has gone through them. "Takato, did… the portal close?" The young brown haired boy turned away from the dragon as he heard the question.
"Please tell me I want to know." Flamedramon said with more precedence in his voice.
Takato looked at Flamedramon, and said, "It did close, but we know some people that know about Digimon, and they can probably help us."
"People know about Digimon?" Flamedramon asked.
"Only a group called Hypno, and our families. They can be trusted, and they'll probably find way to get you home.
Just then, Flamedramon placed his talons underneath him.
"What are you doing?" Takato asked.
"Getting up; I want to go see this
Hypno." Flamedramon said as he was about to lift himself up.
"You better not try to get up; with those bruises it will probably be painful."
Flamedramon sighed, and relaxed his hands. "I already know; unfortunately."
"You already tried?" Takato questioned. Flamedramon only nodded as he turned his gaze to the ground.
"That must have hurt." Terrimon said as he jumped on Henry's shoulder.
"It did." He replied as he looked to the ground. "I just feel so useless just sitting here. I hate it when I'm not doing anything."
Takato stood up, and walked beside Flamedramon, placed his arm around his shoulder. "If you allow me, I'll help you support your weight while you try to stand yourself up." Flamedramon nodded in agreement.
Takato looked up and saw that Henry and Guilmon moved on the other side of Flamedramon to support that shoulder. "Alright, we'll lift on the count of three. One…two…three!"
As the group helped him stand Flamedramon could what was happening. I have only met these tamers for five minutes, and yet they are helping me so much. he thought. After Takato and Henry got him steady on feet, the two boys let go all except Guilmon, who remind beside Flamedramon, and helped him support his weight. "Thank you so much." He said kindly.
Takato smiled. "No problem. It's the least we could do."
"Yeah, we help friends when they need." Guilmon said grinning.
Henry walked towards the door, and turned around. "Um… Flamedramon before you go outside you have to promise us something." Flamedramon turned, and looked at the young man.
"And what would that be?"
"The show is already finished, and we would like you to promise us that you won't watch it."
Flamedramon gave Takato an odd look. "Why not?" asked.
Before Takato could say anything else, Henry stepped in. "Well, if we can get you back home, we don't want you to have the knowledge of your future because it could have some effects on your judgement when you get back." Flamedramon thought for moment, and looked back at the tamers. "I understand, and I promise." Henry smiled, and said, "Well then, Flamedramon, it's time for you to see our world.", and with that, all said and done Guilmon slowly helped Flamedramon to the door.
As Flamedramon made his way through the bright sunshine of the park, he couldn't help, but be amazed at the beauty at what this parked showed. "This is so beautiful. I've never seen anything like it."
Takato smiled as he looked at Flamedramon's amazement. "It's called Shinjuku Park, and it's been part of this city for a long time." Takato said.
"The parks I've seen with Davis were never this nice." Flamedramon said as he took in all the beauty that the park had to offer.
Takato smiled again as the group walked down the stoned steps.
"Takato, are we going to have something to eat." Guilmon asked.
"Alright boy, I have some bread in my backpack." Just then, Flamedramon turned to look at Takato.
"You have more bread!" he asked excitedly.
Takato stared at Flamedramon for a moment. "You like bread?"
"He just doesn't like bread. He loves it. I saw him eat seven loafs while you and Henry were talking." Terrimon said with amusement. The two tamers stared at Flamedramon with shock on their faces.
"You ate that much?" asked Takato. Flamedramon nodded in embarrassment.
"I never thought I would see another digimon that loved bread as much as Guilmon does, but I guess I was wrong." Takato said. The group chuckled at this then continued to marvel at the beauty the park gave. Henry, however, was looking down the trail. I wonder where Rika is? he thought.
"Takato, didn't you get a hold of Rika?" he asked.
"Yeah, I phoned her this morning. She should have been here a long time ago." Takato replied.
Flamedramon looked at Takato and Henry with confusion.
"Who's Rika?" he asked.
Takato looked up at Flamedramon, and said, "She another tamers that suppose to meet us."
"Does she have a partner?" Flamedramon asked in a curious voice.
Henry nodded, and said, "Her partner is Renamon."
Flamedramon raised an eyebrow to that name. "What's a Renamon?"
The two tamers looked at Flamedramon with a bit a surprise.
"You don't know?" Takato asked.
Flamedramon shook his head. "I've never heard of a Renamon before. Can you tell me what this digimon looks like?"
"Well…"
"She's a Fox!" Terrimon said interrupting. Terrimon was about to say more, but Henry grabbed the bunny digimon. "Terrimon behave yourself." He said with a stern tone.
Terrimon smiled, "But Henry she is a fox type." Henry looked at his partner and had an idea. "Perhaps I should give you to Princess Suzie." At that moment, Terrimon face went white. "Okay I'll be quiet now."
Takato laughed, and turned his back towards Flamedramon. "Well Renamon is a fox type digimon, she built much like you in terms of height, and she is a very good fighter." Flamedramon nodded, and said,
"The way you describe her she sounds like a champion digimon."
"Actually she's a rookie level."
Flamedramon jaw opened with shock. "You got to be kidding me."
Takato shook head, "Nope."
Flamedramon nodded with a surprise look on his face. "Well, I hope she's easy to talk to."
Takato smiled, "Don't worry, Renamon is a bit rough around the edges, but she can be a good listener. Her tamer is much the same way." He added.
Takato then started to jog down the park trail. As he did this he turned around, and yelled, "Hey Henry, I'm just going run up ahead to see if Rika is coming!"
Unfortunately, with Takato looking behind him he didn't see where he was going. "Wow!" a voice cried, but it was too for Takato to stop in time, and ran into a person.
"Oh man, Gogglehead why do have to have a thick head!"
That voice… Rika! Takato looked up from ground, and sure enough was Rika on ground staring at him with cold eyes. "Uh… Rika I'm so sorry. Here let me give you a hand." Rika grabbed Takato's hand, and pulled herself up. "Next time you do that I'll hit so hard you will be singing the sopranos."
Takato then had a nervous look on his face. "I said was sorry."
At that moment, Rika grinned. She always liked how Takato was so naïve, and caring when something wrong. "Never mind, now where is the Flamedramon you were talking about?" she asked. "He's over there with Henry, and others." Rika nodded, and was about to walk to Guilmon's house when she noticed Takato was looking behind her. "What are you looking for gogglehead?" she questioned.
Takato looked back, and quickly apologized. "I'm sorry Rika it's just that I was wondering. Where's Renamon she's usually with you?" Rika smiled and looked to her side.
"Renamon."
As soon as Rika said her name, Renamon appeared in front of the two tamers. Takato shook his head in disbelief. "I'll never get use to that." He said with humour in his voice. Rika gave a small grin, but Renamon kept her face serious. "Where's the digimon?" she said. Takato sighed; he knew he could never make Renamon crack a smile. "Follow me…," he said," I'll show you."
"Hey Henry, look who I found." Takato said as he, and Rika made it up the trail.
Henry looked over, and started to walk towards them "Hey Rika, Renamon, what took you so long?"
"I just had to explain a few things to Renamon. I'm sorry that we're late." She replied.
Henry shrugged. "It's okay." He said.
At that moment, Rika noticed that Guilmon was standing behind Henry, and he was holding someone up.
Henry moved to the side, and allowed her to see Flamedramon. Takato walked over, and stood beside Flamedramon.
"Flamedramon I would like you to meet Rika Nonaka."
Rika bowed her head in a traditional Japanese greeting, and said, "It's nice to meet you, Flamedramon."
Flamedramon smiled, this girl was very kind, and very attractive for a human. She had long orange hair that went down to her shoulder, and wore a silver necklace with a blue stripped shirt. She also, wore a pair of blue jeans. She must be, what Davis called, a tomboy. he thought.
Flamedramon nodded his head in kind gesture, and replied, "It's nice to meet you." He said in a clear voice.
After Flamedramon finished his greeting, he noticed the digimon that was standing behind Rika. She was a tall fox type digimon that stood on her hind legs. Her body was covered in yellow and white fur, and she wore purple battle gantlets that had the symbol of Taoism on each side. Indeed this digimon looked like a fighter, but as he stared at this digimon, one thought went through Flamedramon's mind. Whoa! She's so beautiful. I've never seen anyone like her. Maybe I should ask her on a date sometime. Ahh! Get that out of your mind Flamedramon! You've only met this digimon for a couple of seconds, and your already going head over heels for her. Just calm down, and get to know her. he thought to himself.
Renamon causal walked up to the dragon, and extended her hand in a greeting. "My name is Renamon." She said in a clear voice. Flamedramon looked down at her paw, and placed one of his large talons in her hand. Renamon looked at the talon, and then back at him. Flamedramon smiled, and said. "I can't really shake hands in this form, but… the name's…Flamedramon." He said nervously. Renamon nodded, and let go of his talon. While Flamedramon didn't realize it, he was staring at Renamon. There was something about her that just made stare.
However, at moment Renamon noticed it, and was getting annoyed Why he is he staring at me? she wondered, but before she could question the dragon, Rika spoke.
"Now that we have all introductions done; do you guys mind telling what's going on?"
"Well, it's kind of long story." Takato said as he grabbed his bag. "And I think we should talk about it over some good bread."
"Yahoo! Bread time!" yelled Guilmon.
A Few minutes later…
"So he's from the T.V. series." Rika said with amazement. "Yep, and were hoping that Hypno will help us" Henry said as he grabbed another piece of bread from the bundle. The tamers and Flamedramon had sat down under a nice shaded tree, and had told Rika and Renamon how that Flamedramon was from the T.V. series, and that his partner was Davis Motimiya.
"How is Hypno going to help us?" she asked.
Takato shrugged, and quickly grabbed another piece of bread. "Well, since they know so much about digimon. I would think they might know something about these portals." He said before eating the bread he grabbed earlier.
"Besides Hypno is the only group that can help us." Henry added.
Rika nodded in agreement. "So when do we visit Yamaki?"
"I guess when Flamedramon is feeling a bit better; right Flamedramon." However, no reply came from the dragon.
The tamers looked over, and saw that Flamedramon wasn't paying attention or the eating the bread. Instead, they saw him stare at certain fox digimon that was eating alone.
I wonder why she eats alone? Flamedramon thought as he continued to look over at Renamon. When the group sat down to eat, Renamon grabbed a small piece of bread, and went a couple of meters away from the group to eat.
It's just so weird. he thought
"What are you looking at?" said a voice that made Flamedramon break his thought.
"Huh?" he replied.
"Why are you staring at my digimon?" Rika asked coldly. At that point, Flamedramon blushed with embarrassment as the group stared at him for an answer. "Someone's checking out the fox." Terrimon teased.
"Terrimon!"
"What I gotta have some fun, Henry."
"I wasn't checking her out." Flamedramon said with a blush, "I was just wondering why she eats alone."
Guilmon looked over at Renamon then to Takato.
"Takato, didn't she do that when we were at Rika's that one time?"
"Yeah she did do that. Rika, do you mind telling us why she eats alone?" Takato asked curiously.
Rika just shrugged. "I don't know. I never asked her."
"Hmm...I guess it's her personal choice." Henry observed. Flamedramon nodded, and the group continued with their meal. All except for Takato, who was looking at his D-ark, in wonder?
"Flamedramon, you're not by any chance a rookie level." He asked suddenly.
Flamedramon looked up at Takato with confusion. "I'm not a rookie. I'm an armoured-digivolued."
"I know, but my digivice is analyzing you as a rookie."
"Your digivice is probably broken." Rika said as she looked over at Takato.
"I don't think so." Henry added. Rika glanced up from Takato's digivice, and saw that Henry was pointing his at Flamedramon. "Why do you say that." She asked.
"Because mine says he's a rookie too." He replied.
Quickly Rika and Takato looked over at Henry's digivice, and saw that his too said he was a rookie.
"I don't understand. I know I'm armour-digivolued but, why do your digivices say I'm a rookie?" Flamedramon said as this matter confused him. "Well, I guess this is going to be another question for Hypno." Rika said.
Flamedramon placed his last piece of bread in front, but he didn't eat it because he needed to talk to them about this world. "Is it alright if I ask some questions?" he asked.
Takato looked up, and said, "Of course, what do you want to know?"
"Well…Since you know my life. Can you tell me about yours? Like have you been in any battles?"
"Yeah we have been in battle, but it's kind of a long story." Rika said as she lay back against the cool grass of the park.
"Well, I'm not going anywhere, and I have the time."
Takato and Henry smiled. "Okay I guess will start at the beginning."
Renamon's Point Of View
Well, that was a good meal. Renamon thought as she wiped her lips with a napkin. The bread was very good, and it easily settled her appetite. However, her thoughts soon changed as she looked up at the group. I wonder why he was staring at me? she thought.
During her meal, Renamon had frequently noticed the dragon digimon staring at her in wonder. While this did bother her, a bit Renamon didn't say anything. "I guess he's never seen a digimon like me before." She said to her self as she stretched her legs. As Renamon did this she looked up to see that Flamedramon, and the others were talking about something. She listened careful with her heightened ears, and heard them telling Flamedramon about the battles that she, and the tamers were in, but Renamon didn't care about that.
Instead, she was looking at Flamedramon injuries. She could see that the bruising was on his chest, shoulder, and back. She also could see that the cuts on his arm, and leg were deep. However, injuries like that are expected when you fight an Ultimate. Renamon knew that all too well since she, and the tamers had faced many things.
However, those injuries he has will take weeks to heal unless…
Renamon's thoughts trailed off as she remembered a certain item that could help Flamedramon, but that item was pretty far away. Renamon looked back at the group, and saw that they were still deep in their conversation.
I won't be long. She thought, It may take a couple of hours, but should be back soon. and with that Renamon phased out leaving group behind.
Hours Later…
"Whoa!" Flamedramon said in amazement, "That's quite of an adventure. You have gone through as much as the original digidestined did with the Dark Masters."
Takato shrugged, "Well, maybe not as bad, but it was pretty big."
"Yeah, but we made it through." Henry said in agreement.
Flamedramon nodded, and looked over at Takato. "Takato can you tell me a bit more about this…biomerge you call it. I've never heard of it, and I never imagined human and digimon becoming one."
"Well it's kind of like your DNA…huff!" However, Takato was cut short when he felt Henry's elbow hit him in the stomach.
"Why did you do that?" Flamedramon asked.
"He was about to tell you something you're not suppose to know." Henry said.
"Yeah… I was." Takato said slowly as he tried to get his breath, "But why in the hell did you hit me that hard!"
"Sorry Takato but, I had to shut you up some how." Henry said apologetically.
Rika smiled, but then looked at the sky. "Whoa it's getting pretty late." Rika said as she noticed the late sunset. The other tamers looked too, and were amazed. "Man, I guess our story was pretty long. We better get home or our parents are going to kill us."
"Right we have a big day tomorrow." Henry said as the tamers got up from the ground, but Flamedramon noticed something. "Uh....Rika. Where's Renamon?" The tamers looked over to where the fox digimon sat before, but she wasn't there. "Where did she go?" Takato questioned. "Man, I hate when she disappears on us." Terrimon said in a crumby voice. "I saw her leave?" Guilmon said as he sat there on the ground.
"What! When did she leave?"
"About three or four hours ago." Guilmon replied.
"Why didn't you tell us?!" Rika nearly yelled. "Well you were telling Flamedramon the story, and I didn't want to interrupt you." He said in a nervous voice. At that moment, Rika was so mad that she was about to tackle the red dino but Takato moved in quickly.
"Whoa clam down Rika. Don't take it out on Guilmon. I am sure she fine."
"Besides," Henry added, "Can't you contact her telepathy?" (At this time, Takato & Henry know about her and Renamon's mind link.) "Oh… I forgot." She said. "I'll try."
Flamedramon looked confused as he heard this. "She can talk to her digimon telepathically?" Takato nodded, "Yes, she can."
Rika looked out to the city, and concentrated her thoughts. If Renamon left four hours ago, she would be pretty far, and distance affected their connection. Renamon. she called in her thought. Immediately after her thought, the Kitsune appeared in front of Rika. Flamedramon was surprised by this, How did she do that? he thought.
"Yes Rika." Renamon said.
Rika calmed herself as she brought her words "Where were you?" she asked
"I'm sorry Rika, but I was collecting some things."
"Renamon, Guilmon says you were gone for four hours. What were you collecting?"
Renamon held out her hand, and revealed what she had.
"I went to collect some herbs."
Rika studied the herbs, and figured out why she took so long. "Renamon aren't those Moon herbs?" (Made up herb) Renamon nodded, and Rika went silent.
Henry and Takato were wondering what were moon herbs?
"Rika, what are Moon herbs?" Henry asked.
Rika looked at Henry, and replied, "Moon herbs are special kind of plant that only grows in the Shinku area. (A town I made up.) The plant only grows once a year."
"Shinku area! That over 40 miles away!" Takato said in shock. "Why would you travel that far for herbs?" he asked Renamon.
Renamon looked at Takato with a somewhat nervous look on her face. "These herbs help heal injuries in digimon. I use them after huge battles."
Takato looked confused, and said, "But you haven't been in any battles now." He said puzzled.
"I got these herbs for Flamedramon." she replied. Takato was about to say something else, but Renamon walked passed him towards Flamedramon.
Flamedramon's Point Of View
As Flamedramon watched, the fox digimon kneeled down in front, so she was eye level to him. "These are for…you." She said as she held the herbs in front of him.
"I can't accept these. There your herbs, and…I heal pretty quickly. You shouldn't waste your herbs on me." Flamedramon as he tried to refuse the herbs. Renamon however, grabbed his talon, and placed the herbs in his hand. "I am not wasting them. You are injured, and these herbs will help you."
Flamedramon looked at the herbs, and then looked at Renamon. He hadn't noticed it before, but she had very calm blue eyes, and what he saw in them was that she was telling the truth. Besides, he always remembered Davis telling him that it was rude to refuse someone's offer.
Flamedramon nodded, and gave a grin. "Thank you. It's very kind of you." He said as he gripped the herbs in his talon. Renamon gave a slight smile, and stood up. "Take those herbs before you go to sleep. There side effects are drowsiness." After Renamon said that she went, and stood beside Rika.
"Alright, we have a big day tomarrow." Henry said, "We better get some rest."
"Henry." Takato said as Henry was leaving with Terrimon.
"What about the other tamers. Shouldn't we tell them about this?"
"No, I think we can handle this ourselves. If we need them we can tell them tomorrow." Henry said.
"Okay." Takato agreed. "Should we meet back here?" Rika questioned.
"Yeah we'll meet back her." Takato said as he picked up his backpack. "Okay, bye Flamedramon, see you guys tomorrow." Henry said as he started to walk home.
"Hey Henry, you weren't actually give me Suzie?" Terrimon asked as he and Henry disappear around the trees of the park.
"Well, me and Renamon better get going too. See you around Gogglehead."
Takato sighed, "When will you ever stop calling me that." He asked. Rika smiled,
"I was thinking when hell freezes over." Rika teased as she started to walk down the sidewalk.
Takato rolled his eyes, "Okay Rika, see you tomorrow." As Takato watched, Rika and Renamon vanish around the corner, he thought about how Rika changed over the years. When he first met her she was cold hearted, and unbelievably arrogant. Now she was kind, and very opened-minded about ideas. However, some things never changed about her. Like her stubbornness, and her constant jokes about his goggles, but he didn't mind. "Takato? Takato are we going home. Takato?" Guilmon said as he tugged at his tamer's arm. "Umm… Yeah, Guilmon will go home, but first let's help Flamedramon get back on his feet." Takato replied as he snapped out of his deep thought. Guilmon nodded, and soon the two positioned themselves beside Flamedramon. "Alright Flamedramon, will lift on three. One…two…three!" With that, the two lifted Flamedramon off the ground with ease, and they started to walk down the stoned trail.
"So there are more tamers?" Flamedramon asked. "Yeah there're five more of us, but some of them live pretty far away. You'll get to meet them later on." Flamedramon nodded, and the three carried on their walk towards Guilmon's house.
Rika & Renamon
The two didn't say a word to one another as both Renamon and Rika made their way home. It was like this many times; if the other need to talk about something they didn't, but Rika had something on her mind. Why was she so shy around Flamedramon? she asked herself as they continued to walk. Takato and Henry may not have noticed it, but when Renamon was giving the herbs to Flamedramon, Rika saw that she was acting very nervous around the dragon digimon. Through the many years Rika had known Renamon, she never saw her act that way with someone. She looked at her partner, and wondered, Maybe I can get it out of her?
"That was very nice of you." She said to break the silence. Renamon looked over in curiosity to what she meant. "The moon herbs." She added, "You told me those herbs are rare." Renamon turned away from her partner, and said, "He needed them, and I thought they could help." Rika nodded
"So what did you think?"
"Think about what?" Renamon asked as she raised an eyebrow to Rika. "Flamedramon, what did you think of him." She asked curiosity. "Well he's impressive, but I wonder if he can handle a fight." Rika smiled at that. "You've only met him once, and you already want to challenge him to a fight."
"Of course," Renamon said with a smile, "I have to build up my skills don't I?"
"Right, but I hope he gets home tomorrow." Rika said as an after thought. "I hope so too." Renamon added, "It's never good to be taken from your friends, and home."
"I hope that never happens to us." Rika said with a sigh. "I do too." Renamon replied. After that, the two didn't say another word as they entered Rika's house.
Guilmon's Hideout
"I hope you don't mind staying here for the night." Takato said as he and Guilmon gently placed Flamedramon on the floor. "No, I don't mind." Flamedramon said as he lied back against the stoned wall. "You and your friends have done so much for me. How can I ever repay you for your kindness?"
"Don't worry about it." Takato said with a smile. "You need help, and were here to give it." Flamedramon chuckled at that. "What's so funny?" Takato asked. Flamedramon shook his head. "Nothing…it's just that you act like Davis. He always helped people even if they were strangers."
"Well, I'll take that as a complement. When the show was running your partner was one popular person in this city." Takato said as he picked up his backpack. "Davis would be happy to hear that, but that's if I see him again." Flamedramon said in a sad tone. "Takato, do you think I'll get home." Takato turned around, and looked into the dragon's eyes. What can I say? he thought. I don't even know if Hypno can help him get back home.
"I don't know." Takato said, "But they've helped us many times, and I'm sure they will help you." Flamedramon didn't reply, but only nodded. "Hey, if you're feeling better tomorrow will take you to see Hypno." Takato said as he tried to brighten Flamedramon's spirit.
Flamedramon looked at the brown-haired boy, and gave him a smile. "I would like that." He said.
Takato stood up, and looked at Guilmon. "Hey Guilmon, can you watch over Flamedramon again?"
"Sure can!" Guilmon said as he lay down on the floor. "Thanks boy, I'll give you some extra bread tomorrow Okay."
"Oh boy! Oh boy!" Guilmon cried out as he thought about the delicious bread. "Uh Takato." Flamedramon said, "Could you…" Takato smiled, as he understood what Flamdramon wanted. "Don't worry Flamedramon. I'll bring some bread for you too." Takato walked up to the entrance, and looked back at Flamedramon and Guilmon. "Good night you two I'll see you tomorrow."
The two digimon said their good byes, and soon Takato was walking home.
"Well, good night Flamedramon."
"Good night Guilmon." Flamedramon replied, and soon red digimon dinosaur closed his eyes, and fell asleep, but Flamedramon still thought, Will I ever see home? he asked himself. But he wouldn't know until tomorrow. Flamedramon sighed, and looked at the herbs that Renamon had given him. "Well, I might as well make the best of it." He said as he tossed the herbs in his mouth. The herbs had a bitter taste to it, but Flamedramon didn't mind. If they were going to help him heal, he didn't care about the taste, but as Flamedramon continued to look at the night sky, he started to feel the effects of the herbs. As he closed his eyes he thought only one thing before he went to sleep; and that was Davis and home.
Will Flamedramon go home, and what will hypno say about his situation. Find out in the next chapter of A New World: An Empty Life.
Author Note: Well there you have it. The longest chapter I have ever written for this story, and I hope you have enjoyed it. Chapter 5 will be a little late coming out since I have final exams coming up. I am hoping to start writing this story again after January 31, sorry about that.
Also, I have noticed that some readers have asked that I bring Davis to the Tamer's world. I have thought about it, and I have come up with an interesting storyline for him, but I want you, the readers, to decide where the story should go. So, when you place a review vote yes or no if Davis should come to the tamers world. The voting will last until chapter 6, and at that time, I will announce the results of the voting.
Just to warn you this is only Davis not the entire crew of Season 2. The reason I say this, is because I don't want to deal with large amount of characters. If I did bring the entire crew to the tamers world then I would have to do a storyline with them.
It would then get confusing, and I would have trouble focusing on Flamedramon and Renamon.
Also, keep sending in reviews they are always interesting to read.
