-_- I did it again. I was late getting this chapter. Oh well at least I had a reason this time. For two weeks, I had to help set up the decoration for a wedding that I had to attend. Non-stop work and really no time to write any fics. I however, managed to get the first chapter of Digital Destiny out, but I kind of think I could have done it a bit better. Meh I guess I have to improve. Anyway, on with chapter 8.
Chapter 8: A New Journey, a new home…
By RayD
Shinjuku Park…
Davis looked at the river with a sad sigh as he tried to digest to the situation that he was in. It was in the late afternoon, and Davis had just gotten back from Hypno headquarters. Apparently, his three-year aging was a side affect from the m-class portal since he was made of flesh, and not data like Flamedramon. They also told him about the whole situation that had happened two weeks ago with Flamedramon, and how it was nearly impossible to get back. And to make matters worse, the digi-egg of friendship disappeared from Davis' D-terminal. Yamaki only explanation for this action was that something or someone must have stolen the egg from Davis while he was being transported through the portal.
But who would want to steal the egg, Davis thought, and how will I get home… Davis sighed again as he looked at his new D-arc. What am I going to do?…
"Hey Davis…" a voice called from behind. Davis turned around, and saw Flamedramon standing behind him.
"Hi Flamedramon…."
"Are you okay?" Flamedramon asked as he stood beside Davis.
Davis looked at Flamedramon, and tried to put up a smile for him.
"Yeah…I'm fine." Davis said as he sat down on the ground, "It's….just so much to take…."
Flamedramon sat beside Davis, and looked at him. "I know…When I first came here. I was lost."
"I don't doubt you. Finding out you are a rookie, and that returning home would be almost impossible. I would say that is lost." Davis said in a sad tone.
Flamedramon glanced over at Davis, and saw the sad look in his eyes. I caused all this… he thought, If it weren't for me. We would still be home with the others.
"Davis…I'm sorry." Flamedramon said as he stood up.
"Sorry for what?" Davis said as he looked up at Flamedramon.
"I'm sorry for…doing this to you. It's my fault that you're stuck here. If it weren't for me…you would be home with your family, and the others." Flamedramon said, "I won't blame you if you want to get a new partner."
Davis looked at Flamedramon with shock on his face. "Flamedramon it's not your fault!" Davis said as he got up, and looked at his partner. "It was my choice to come here."
"Yeah, but it was because of me that you made that choice." Flame replied.
Davis shook his head, "Flamedramon I came here because I knew something happened to you, and I wanted to know." He said as he looked at Flamedramon.
"We are partners Flamedramon, no matter what, and I would do anything to help you out."
Davis pulled out his new d-arc, "Besides…even if I don't get home. Where still together right?"
Flamedramon smiled, "Right."
"Hey Davis, Flamedramon!" a voice called out.
"Hey Takato." Davis said as he saw Takato walk towards them with a girl following him. From what Davis noticed, she had long black hair that went down her back, and wore a blue tank top with a pair of jeans. She also had brown eyes that were very similar to Takato's.
"Davis, Flamedramon I would like to you to meet someone. This is…."
"WOW! You're actually Davis Motimiya! And Flamedramon! It's so nice to meet you!" The girl interrupted, "The name's Mandy Kumashiro."
"Uhh…hi." Davis replied, "It's nice to meet you."
"When Takato emailed me who you where I thought he was joking me around, but here you are." She said, "I bet Kenta, and Kazu fainted when they saw you."
"Kenta and Kazu?"
"They fainted when they met me." Flamedramon said, "Those two are very weird."
"Aren't they always?" Takato said, "It took us over an hour to get them awake."
"That sounds like something they would do." Mandy said with a smile. Davis looked at them with confusion.
"Who are Kenta, and Kazu?" he asked.
"There tamers like us…well except…."
"They act very weird." Mandy said finishing Takato's sentence.
"There not that weird." Takato said, "I just hope they don't faint when they meet you."
"Yeah it was hard to get them to awake." Flamedramon said, "But they really woke up when Rika dumped that cold water on them."
"Well that's Rika for ya." Mandy joked.
"Hey where are Rika, and the others?" Flamedramon said as he looked over at Takato.
"Oh yeah that reminds me. Rika's grandma offered us to make dinner for us at her place. She said she wanted to be a welcome gift to all of you. The other tamers will be there too."
Davis' eyes went wide as he heard the mention of food. "Food…" he said, as he started to think about all the food that awaited him.
"Uhhh…Davis you're drooling." Mandy giggled as she saw him go off into a dazed look.
"Where's Rika's house!" Davis said as he wiped the drool from his mouth, "I'm starving!"
Takato smiled, and said, "Alright follow me."
Rika's house
"Whoa!" Davis exclaimed as he saw all the food before him. There were many kinds of dishes, shrimp won tongs, and rice…everything you could possibly imagine was on the table ready to be eaten. The other tamers stood in amazement, as they too were surprised to see the amount of food on the table. Grandma Seko smiled as she saw their faces light up. "Well sit down, and enjoy." She said in a kind voice, "I don't want it to go to waste." The tamers, and there digimon sat down on the floor, and started to eat. All except Renamon, who grabbed a plate of food, and walked outside. Flamedramon noticed this, and wondered again. Why does she eat alone?
"This food is great!" Davis said ecstatically as he shoved some food into his mouth. "Thank you so much Mrs. Nonaka." The other tamers agreed, and started to eat more of the delicious food.
Seko smiled as she saw them enjoy her dinner, "Glad you like it."
However, Seko's attention was turned when she felt someone nudging her arm. She looked over, and saw Guilmon looking at her with his yellow eyes.
"Uhhh…Mrs.Nonaka. Do you have some bread?" The red dino asked.
"Oh I almost forgot." Seko stood up, and walked towards the kitchen. She was gone for only a few minutes, but then returned with a plate of bread. Guilmon's eyes went wide as he saw Mrs. Nonaka carry the plate to them.
"Here you go." Seko said, as she placed the plate down.
"Thank you so much!" Guilmon said as he grabbed a piece of bread.
"I made them especially for you, and Flamedramon." She said. Flamedramon looked up at her, and nodded.
"Thank you for your generosity." He said as he grabbed one piece. However, Flamedramon only took a small bite out of the piece. In truth, he wasn't really hungry, and only wanted something small to eat; but he didn't want to insult Mrs. Nonaka's cooking, and the bread did look good.
"Hey Guilmon. Bet I can eat more then you can." Terrimon joked as he grabbed another egg roll.
"Terrimon…don't even think about it." Henry said, as he looked at his bunny-haired digimon. However, as usually, Terrimon ignored his partner. "So Guilmon…wanna bet that I eat more then you?"
Guilmon smirked when he heard the challenge. "You're on!" he said, as grabbed another bread from the plate.
"Guilmon, don't eat too much. You'll make yourself sick." Takato warned.
"Don't worry Takato. I won't." Guilmon said with his mouth stuffed with bread.
Takato sighed, I guess he'll have to learn the hard way. he thought.
Mandy stared at the two digimon as they started there eating contest, but turned to look at Rika since she didn't want them to see them stuff themselves with food. "So Rika…Where is your mom?" she asked.
"Oh she had to do a modeling shoot at some fancy place in town." Rika mumbled, "She'll be back tomorrow." Rika grabbed a bowel of rice, and looked to Mandy. She and Mandy had been good friends for a while now. They meet a couple of mouths after the D-Reaper incident, and instantly took a liking to one another. Something Rika didn't do that often, but Mandy was different. She was very kind, but be very strong, and tough when it needed to be. Very much, like herself. Maybe that's why they had been friends for so long since they were so a like.
"How was your vacation in Canada?" Rika asked.
"It was okay." Mandy replied, "I got some pictures. Do you want to see?"
"Okay." Mandy then reached into her pocket, and pulled out a booklet with all her pictures of Canada.
Flamedramon looked out to the darkening sky, and thought that maybe Renamon would be lonely out there.
However, he stopped. What if she still thinks I'm weird…or she hates me…. Flamedramon thought kept racing on as he became consumed with worry. Forget it…I'm going. Flamedramon stood up, and politely asked, "Mrs. Nonaka thank you for the food, but may you please excuse me. I would like to go outside for some fresh air."
"Yes you may." Seko replied. Flamedramon bowed his head in respect, and walked outside.
mmmm…I wonder why Flamedramon is leaving? Davis asked himself as he finished his bowl of rice. He's usually went crazy when someone mentions food... but now he didn't. I wonder if it has something to do with Renamon. he puzzled.
Renamon…
Renamon looked out to the city that glimmered with bright lights. Shinjuku was a very beautiful city when night fell, but still her thoughts were somewhere else. Nothing to do… she thought to herself, No opponents…no challenges… suddenly an image of Flamedramon passed through her mind, and she shook her head. I'm doing it again…but why? throughout the pass few weeks, Renamon would think about Flamedramon. Remembering his face, and his battle skills that he demonstrated when he attacked the DarkTyrannomon. However, she also noticed that she wanted to be around him more to talk, but she was always too nervous, and stayed quiet. Could I be…NO! Renamon shook her head, I only met him two weeks ago…I can't be…That dumb dragon is making me act weird.
Suddenly Renamon stopped her thought as she heard a faint foot step coming up from behind her.
"Don't punch." A familiar voice said, "It's only me."
Renamon turned around, and saw Flamedramon standing there. "Oh…hello Flamedramon." She said in a nervous voice. Damm it I'm doing it again! she thought.
"Uhh…how was your meal?" Flamedramon asked, How was your meal? What are you thinking?! Flamedramon yelled in his mind. "It was nice, but I wasn't that hungry." She replied.
"Me either…" Flamedramon said as he sat down on the roof with Renamon. The two sat there quietly not saying a word as the sun grew dimmer on the horizon. Flamedramon looked over at Renamon, and thought. So beautiful….but what should I say…. Suddenly, Flamedramon got an idea, and turn towards Renamon.
"Renamon…may I ask you a question?"
"What is it?" She asked as she looked over at the dragon digimon.
"Why do you eat alone?"
Renamon paused, "I eat alone because of my belief."
"A belief?" Flamedramon questioned.
"My kind, don't eat with anyone that they respect. It's supposed to show that we know and respect the individuals."
"So you respect me?" Flamedramon said nervously, wondering what she would say to that. Renamon looked at Flamedramon, and nodded. "Of course, you are a friend, and I respect friends."
Yes! She thinks of me as a friend! Wait, is that good. What if she just wants to just be friends? Oh no! Flamedramon thought, as he looked at Renamon, and said, "Thank you Renamon.I really appreciate your friendship."
Renamon smiled gave a small smile, but quickly stopped so that Flamedramon couldn't see it. For some reason, she wanted to be tough around him. She didn't want to show weakness, but still when she looked at him, she got that weird feeling again. I'd better go train. Get my mind clear of things. Renamon thought as she stood up, and started to walk towards the edge of the roof. However, while training did clear the mind, it was very lonely when you train by yourself. Flamedramon stood up, and walked over to Renamon. "Are you going somewhere?" he asked.
"I'm going to train." She said.
"Oh…I see…" Flamedramon replied with sigh. I guess she wants to be alone for a while. he thought.
Renamon noticed his sigh, and wondered. Well…I could… "Flamedramon if you want to train also. You can come with me." She said looking over her shoulder. Flamedramon eyes light up, but he kept his face neutral.
"I would like that…" he said.
"Then come with me." Renamon replied as she jumped down from the roof, and headed to another section of the house. Flamedramon quickly followed the kitsune to the other building. I hope I don't screw this up. he thought as he followed her inside.
Davis….
"Whoa…." Davis moaned as he relaxed on the floor. He had just finished his meal, and was trying to get over the stomachache he had. Mandy looked at Davis, and pointed to his stomach. "I think you ate too much Davis." She said.
Davis moaned, "Yeah I thinks so…but those egg rolls were so good." He said as he laid there on the floor.
"Looks like your egg rolls got another one grandma." Rika said as she placed her bowl of soup down on the little table in front of her.
"I told you Rika he would love my egg rolls." Seko said, as she washed the dishes.
"Owww…..too much." Moaned Terrimon has he collapsed to the ground.
"Too….much…bread." Guilmon said as he too fell to the ground beside Terrimon.
The two had been at their little eating contest for a while now, and it was starting to take a toll on their stomachs.
"I told you not to eat that much." Henry said.
Terrimon grinned, and just said, "Momintai Henry….Momintai." Soon after Terrimon fell asleep from all the food he ate. Henry sighed, Terrimon always fell asleep after he had a large meal, and Mrs. Nonaka's meal was big.
"Are you okay boy?" Takato said as he looked at his partner.
"I'm fine…Takato…Just so full." Guilmon moaned as he laid there on the floor.
"Well just lie down, and rest." Guilmon nodded, and feel asleep.
"I wonder where those idiots Kazu, and Kenta went." Rika questioned as she looked at the clock, "they're late."
Suddenly, the door of Rika's house flung open, and Kenta and Kazu crashed in on the floor.
"Sorry where late…."Kenta said as he tried to catch his breath, "We missed our bus because of Kazu's directions."
"It wasn't….my…fault!" Kazu crowed out as he breathed in deeply.
"Why are you two breathing so hard?" Henry asked.
"You know Mrs.Yoko's dog down the street."
"That really mean pit bull?" Takato questioned.
"Yes….well Kenta brushed against the dog's gate, and he opened it." Kazu exclaimed.
"I said I was sorry!" Kenta said, "At least we got away from him."
Davis looked at the two boys with a bit of confusion. "Uhh…hi." He said, "You must be Takato's friends."
Kenta and Kazu looked over, and gasped as they saw none other than the world famous Davis Motimiya sitting at the table.
"It's…it's…" Kazu said as he tried to find the words. "Davis…" Kenta finished the sentence.
"Yeah that's my name." Davis said with a smile.
Suddenly, both Kenta and Kazu fainted, and landed on the ground. Rika rolled her eyes as she saw the two laying on the ground. "I'll go get the cold water." She said as she walked out of the room.
"Oh no here it comes." Takato warned as Rika walked back in with bucket of cold water.
"Wait!" Mandy yelled, "Let me do it."
Rika looked at Mandy, and smiled. "Alright here you go."
Rika handed the bucket to Mandy, and stood back. Davis looked at Mandy, and thought Those guys aren't going to be happy when they wake up.
Mandy stood over the two boys, and gave an evil grin. "Wake up boys." She said as she poured the water on the two.
"AHHHHHHH!!!"
"THAT'S COLD!!!" Kazu screamed as he got up, and looked at Mandy.
Mandy looked at the two with an innocent look. "I guess you shouldn't faint." She kidded, "Otherwise, rain falls."
"Very funny," Kenta said as he dried his glasses, and looked at Davis with shock. "So you're Davis…." He said.
"Yeah, I am…"
"Could you sign my shirt!" The two tamers yelled at the same time. Rika rolled her eyes, Idiots…It's just Davis Motimiya. she thought.
Davis looked at the two with confusion. Takato had warned him that these two would be weird, but this isn't what he expected. "Uhhh…sure." Davis said as he grabbed a pen.
After Davis finished signing the two's T-shirts, they sat down, and talked. Davis tried to listen, but all Kenta and Kazu talked about was about the T.V. show, and other weird things. Soon after that, Mandy and Kazu got into an argument about who was the better character in Evangelion, Rei or Asuka.
Takato sat back, and didn't say a word. He knew Mandy could keep this argument going for a long time; and if he were to step in…well let's just say that Kazu and Mandy didn't like someone to get in the middle of their arguments.
However, Davis ignored the two arguing, and started to drift off in his thoughts. He looked at his new digivice, and wondered what the slot in the side of it was for.
I wonder if I am supposed to put something through here. he wondered as he glanced down at the slot.
"Hey, Henry is this slot in my digivice used for something?" Davis asked as he looked over at the blue haired boy.
"It's for digimon cards." Henry replied, "You swipe the card through it."
"Digimon cards? What are those?" he questioned.
"Well, they are cards that help boost your partner in a battle. If you want, me and Henry could teach…"
"I'll handle this goggle head." Rika interrupted as she stood up, "Davis come with me." Davis looked up at Rika, and wondered what she was planning. "Alright…" he said as he got up, and followed her down the hallways.
Takato sighed, "She's doing it again."
"She's going to teach Davis the card game. Isn't she?" Mandy questioned. Takato nodded.
"Awww man, it's bad enough that I get beaten by Jeri all the time." Kazu whined, "Now I have to worry about Davis beating me."
At that moment, Mandy started to laugh, "You…..lost to… Jeri! Oh, my god, I have beaten her so many times. You must really a really bad player."
Kazu flustered as he heard those words. "Why you little…."
Takato shook his head as he saw the two started to argue again.
"Hey, Takato do you think Rika can teach Davis." Henry asked.
Takato smiled, "Yeah…I just hope Davis can handle her way of teaching."
Henry nodded as he glanced back at Mandy and Kazu auguring.
Flamedramon…
"Wow!" Flamedramon exclaimed as he looked at Renamon's training room. The room was like a large gym; it was completed with a set of weights, some exercise equipments, and a punching bag that looked like it was hit by a train.
"It's so big…" Flamedramon added.
Renamon nodded, "Yeah it is. After the D-reaper, Mrs. Nonaka turned this guesthouse into a training room for me as a gift for protecting Rika. I tired to refuse, but it was already built."
Flamedramon looked over at the weights, and the punching bag that were in the corner of the room. "You must train for hours." Flame joked as he glanced at the beaten up punching bag. Renamon shrugged, "I train for three hours in the morning, and two hours at night." Flamedramon glanced at the Kitsune with a bit of shock. "You train for five hours a day."
"Yes, and I mediate for about an hour a day." Renamon replied as she walked over to the punching bag, and started to work on some punching moves. Flamedramon didn't say anything else after that. Instead, he grabbed a 100 pound weight, and started to lift it with his calws. However, as he did this he looked over at Renamon a few times. Watching her punch that bag with all he might. Flame also noticed that she was very graceful when she did her moves. They weren't thrown hard, but still affective against the target. The way she does it…it's almost like a dance. he thought, but she sure is beautiful.
Renamon hammered at the bag harder then usual. She wanted to get her mind clear, but somehow she couldn't. She thought this training would clear her mind, but it didn't. As she continued to throw her kicks and punches at the bag, Renamon glanced over at the fire dragon that was with her. He was picking up one of the 100 pounds weight with his right claw, and lifting it without much difficulty. By her count he had done over 100 reps with those weights, and showed no sign of fatigue.
He's strong, and handsome…. Renamon stopped, I'm doing it again. Damm it, why do I keep doing that! she continued as she stopped her punching. Flamedramon noticed this, and placed down the weights.
"Renamon is there something wrong?"
"No there isn't." she lied, "I just wanted to take a break."
"Oh…" Flame replied. Flamedramon placed the weights down, and sat down on one of the benches near Renamon. Alright Flame, don't be nervous. Be tough that what she likes. he thought.
"Well this is certainly a big gym." Flame said nervously. Renamon looked at Flamedramon, but quickly turned away. She kept thinking about wanting to see under the mask seeing his true face. No! I have to get mind off this. Suddenly Renamon got an idea, and glanced at Flamedramon. "Flamedramon come with me. I'll show you another room."
Flame stood up, "Another room? There's more?" he questioned. Renamon nodded, and head to another door. Flamedramon followed her, and they were soon in a large, but an empty room. From what Flamedramon could tell was that the room looked like it was modeled after an ancient Japanese house. The floors were padded the walls were held up with nice wood, and the room was lit with some candles that were hung on the sides of each wall.
(Picture the room that was in the movie: The Matrix.)
"This room is used for sparring," Renamon explained, "it's where I practice my hand to hand combat."
"It looks hardly used." Flamedramon observed.
Renamon nodded, "I have used it once with Guilmon, but he prefers to play rather then fight."
"I see…" Flame replied as he looked over at Renamon.
Renamon smirked as she folded her arms as she looked back at Flamedramon. "I never get someone who's worthy enough to fight, and to really test my skills."
Flame raised an eyebrow to this. "Renamon are you challenging me to a fight?" he asked. The kitsune smirked, "If the shoe fits big boy." She joked, "Do you accept?"
Flamedramon smiled, "Alright I accept."
"Good," Renamon said, "there are two rules in a sparring match."
"And what are they?" he asked.
Renamon stretched her arms, and said, "One we don't use attacks, only hand to hand combat, and the other rules is that the winner is declared if the opponent gives up. That is something that I won't do." She finished. Flamedramon nodded, and started to take his gauntlets off. "If we aren't using attacks then I might as well take these off."
Renamon nodded as she watched Flamedramon loosened the belts around his hands, and pulled the gauntlets off his hands. Renamon looked at his hands as he did this. His hands had three fingers that were tipped with long sharp talons. His hands, in Renamon's opinion, where very similar to Greymon hands, a dino type digimon that she had encountered in the digital world. Flamedramon gazed down at his true hands for the first time. During the whole time being a Flamedramon, he had never taken the gauntlets off, and seeing these hands was something new to Flamedramon. "Are we going to start?" Renamon asked, "Or are you going to stare at your claws all day."
"Sorry…" he said, "Let's begin."
Renamon nodded, and got into a fighting stance. Flamedramon quickly did the same, and got ready for the match.
"Begin…." Renamon said as she charged Flamedramon to begin the sparring match.
Davis…..
Davis followed Rika into her bedroom, and noticed that it was well neat and tidy. If she saw my room, she would think it was hit by a tornado. he mused. Rika walked over to a draw, and pulled out two decks of cards. One was her own, which was in its card protector, the other was bare, and I bit worn. Rika turned around, and handed the bare deck to him. "This deck should suit you well," she said, "It's filled with vaccine type, and is a good beginner's deck. It helped me learn to use the cards." Davis looked at the deck, and was somewhat shocked.
"You're going to give me your old deck?" he said with shock.
"Yes I am. You're going to need a good deck if you want to be a great tamer." Rika finished.
"But I'm a digidestined…not a tamer." Rika grabbed Davis' D-ark from his hands, and showed it to him.
"Look here gogglehead brains. This digivice is not like your old one. It has a slot down the side, which means you are a tamer now, whether you like it or not." She said in a stern tone.
Davis looked at her with a surprised look. "Uhhh….ok…but what do I have to do as a tamer." Rika took her cards out, and shuffled through them. "As a tamer, you have to help train your partner to be the best, and to help him in any battle with these cards." She explained, "Every second day I want you to come here for lessons on how to use these cards."
"You're going to teach me….why?" Davis questioned as he looked at the deck in his hands.
"Well…you if we have trouble, like with the D-reaper, we will need all the help we can get; and if you learn the card game you can help us and Flamedramon easily if the need ever arises." Davis nodded, and placed the cards in his pocket. "Thanks…I will take care of it." He promised.Rika smiled, but then pulled out a card from her deck.
"You're going to need this." She said as she handed him a digimon card. Davis looked at the card, and was shocked to see a picture of his friend's face on it. "It's always good luck if you have card of your partner in your deck." Rika said as she pulled out her Renamon card, and showed it to Davis. "Oh ok…" he said, "Do I need a notebook tomorrow?" he joked.
"No," she replied, "but I will push hard in training so be ready for your first lessons tomorrow." Rika said as she walked back towards the dinning room. Davis looked at Rika, and looked at his new deck. I guess there's no time like the present to learn something new. he thought.
Takato…..
"Damm it Kazu, why did you have to open your big mouth." Takato said as he got a cold cloth for Kazu's eye. "Owww watch it jumlee that hurts!" Kazu complained as Takato rested the cloth on his eye. Mandy sat down on the floor looking at Kazu. "Sorry for hitting you Kazu, but you know it's not nice to call a girl little, and dumb." She said. Kazu glanced over at Mandy and nodded, "Yeah you're right…last time I call you that."
"Well at least you know now that Mandy can give you a black eye." Kenta joked.
"Oh shut up." Kazu mumbled. At that moment, Rika and Davis walked back into the room, and looked at Kazu with a wet cloth to his face.
"What happen to you?" Davis asked. Henry stood up, and grabbed the cloth to soak it again with water. "He and Mandy go in a fight, and she hit him after he called her little dumb girl." Henry explained as he walked back into the kitchen where Seko had a wet cloth ready. "Worse mistake ever…." Kazu said, "Now how am I going to tell people at school about this. They're going to laugh there heads off when they find out I got a black eye from a girl."
"Well, I have an idea." Mandy suggested, "Tell them you got it in a bar fight." At that moment, Takato started to laugh. "Kazu…..in a bar fight….that's hard to believe."
Rika shook her head, "No way is anyone going to believe that." She said.
"Well think of something later." Takato said, as he sat back down beside Guilmon, who started to awake.
"*yawn* that was a good nap…" Guilmon said as he stretched.
"Your stomach ache is gone?" Takato asked. Guilmon nodded, but then noticed that Flamedramon wasn't at the table. "Uhh…Takato where is Flamedramon?"
"He went outside Guilmon." Davis said, "I think he said he wanted some fresh air."
"Oh…I'll go see him then. Thank you Davis." Guilmon said as he stood up, and walked outside.
"It looks like our digimons are good friends." Davis observed.
"Yeah they are." Takato said, "I swear those two act like long lost brothers." He joked.
Davis smiled as he sat down on the floor with the others. Rika sat beside Mandy, and Henry sat beside Kenta and Kazu.
At that moment, Rika's grandma walked into the room, and looked at Mandy. "Mandy you're mother just phoned, and said she won't be coming home for awhile. She has to work late. So I asked her if it's was alright if you can stay over tonight." Mandy's eyes light up as she heard Mrs. Nonaka. "She said it was ok if it was alright with you." She continued.
"Is it alright with you Rika?" Mandy asked.
"Of course it is." Rika replied, "That way you can tell me about your trip in detail."
"Alright then it's settled. I'll go tell Mrs. Kumashiro."
Mandy smiled, "Thank you Mrs. Nonaka."
Davis face went gloomed as he realized that he didn't have a place to go. Where am I going to live? he asked himself.
"By the way Davis," Takato said, "I talked to my parents, and they said you may stay at our place for as long as you like."
"Really?!" Davis exclaimed.
Takato nodded,"Yup you can stay with us on one condition."
"What condition is that?" Davis questioned.
"That you sign up for high school." Takato answered.
"Wow where going to have the world famous Davis join our school." Kazu exclaimed.
"That;s will be so cool!" Kenta agreed.
Henry shook his head. "That's going to be a problem. If people find out that, you're the real Davis we will have problems."
"Got that covered Henry," Takato said as he looked over at Davis. "My dad says that we should enlist you as Davis Matsuki, and say to the school that you are cousins of ours from out of country."
Davis looked at Takato in shock, "Are you sure you want me to live with you?"
Takato nodded, "Yup."
"Then I have no choice, but to accept." Davis replied.
Rika grinned, "Now that seems funny, two goggleheads sleeping under one roof."
"Well goggleheads have to stick together." Davis joked.
"Got a point." Mandy said as she started to yawn. Henry at this time yawned too, and thought that he should head home too. "Well, now that we got that settled I'm going home to sleep." Henry bent over, and picked up the Terrimon, who was still sleeping, from the floor. The bunny digimon only mumbled as he continued to sleep. "I'll see you all later bye." He said as he left the house.
"I guess I should take you to your new home." Takato said, "Mom will be getting worried about us."
"What about Flamedramon, and Guilmon?" Davis asked.
"They'll be going to the park to sleep." Takato replied as he got up, "We'll see them tomorrow."
Davis stood up too, and followed Takato to the door. "Alright."
"You two have a good night." Mandy said.
"Yeah good night." Rika said as she followed the two outside.
The two-goggle boys smiled, said goodbye, and started to walk towards Takato's home.
Flamedramon….
It had been two hours since the match began, and still the two digimon continued to fight. Renamon tried to sweep kick Flamedramon, but he jumped back, and charged her for an attack. Renamon quickly dodged out of his charge, and jumped back.
However, unknowing to them, Guilmon came into the room, and saw the two sparring. There really going at one another. he thought, I wonder who will win. Guilmon decided to sit down off to the side, and watch the whole match.
Flamedramon went for a kick to the mid-section of Renamon, but she saw the move coming, and reversed it the move sending a punch to him. The sound of a crack was loud as Renamon's fist nailed Flamedramon in the jaw. For Flamedramon the pain was extreme, but he didn't show any signs of pain. He didn't want to show weakness in this battle.
Renamon quickly tried to punch Flame again, but instead the dragon caught her arm, and landed a kick to her chest. Renamon flew back, but quickly got to her feet. Flamedramon looked at Renamon with exhaustion on his face. Indeed, Renamon was very powerful for a rookie level, and he could see that this fight was never going to end.
I have never had this much difficulty with an opponent before. Renamon thought, Will I ever beat him?
"Why don't we call this a draw?" Flamedramon said as he tried to catch his breath.
"I don't want a draw." Renamon replied as she too was trying to catch her breath.
Flanedramon shook his head, "We have been at this for two hours, and we still haven't even finished a round. Why don't we call it a draw?" Renamon sighed she knew Flame was right. She was really exhausted, and really wanted to sleep right now, but still a draw was no victory. "Alright it's a draw." She said in agreement. Flamedramon nodded, and walked towards her. "That was a good battle." He said, "You're very strong."
Renamon nodded, "Thank you…you weren't bad yourself. I have faced many opponents, but you'll be the hardest to defeat."
Flamedramon looked at Renamon, and said, "I guess I will take that as a complement."
"That was fun to watch." Gulimon yelled happily, as he ran towards them. Flamedramon glanced over at Guilmon. "Hey Guilmon, where are the others?"
"They all left, time for bed." Guilmon replied.
"Oh I guess I better go too." Flamedramon looked over at Renamon, and said, "See you around?"
Renamon nodded, "Of course, Flamedramon."
"Alright," Flame said as he picked up his gauntlets that he took off. However, as Guilmon and Flamedramon were about to leave; he turn towards the kitsune, and said, "Hey Renamon,"
"Yes…"
"If you want another sparring match I would gladly do another."
"Thanks Flamedramon…goodnight."
"Good night." Flame said as he walked off with Guilmon into the night.
Renamon walked up to the candles, and blew them out. Maybe the next time they sparred she will be the victor. However, another thing clouded her mind. This new feeling every time he was around the fire dragon. I wonder what it is… she thought, Maybe I will figure it out later. Renamon thought as she blew out the last candle.
However, as the tamers and digimons fell asleep, a dark shadow loomed over the skies. "So it seems the tamer has an arrived sooner than I expected…." The figure sneered, "No matter….soon the legendary fire dragon will die, and the prophecy will never come to past, and this world will be mine."
The figure held out his hand, and marvelled at the digi-egg of friendship that now was in his hands. "With your codes, and the digi-egg…..your destruction will come from someone you know all too well. Prepare your self Flamedramon….Prepare." And with those last words the figure vanished, taking the digi-egg, and the codes with him…..
Who's is this guy? What prophecy is he talking about? And what will he do with the digiegg of friendship? Find out in the next chapter of A New World: The Secret Weapon
Author Note: Well I did it again. Late as usual, but a least I got the chapter out. I am so lucky that I save my stories to a disk. A few weeks ago, I got a virus over the net, and it erased all my files. Thankfully, I don't save stories on the hardrive anymore. Anyway, I would like to thank Tsunami Wave for helping me with certain plots, and the Lonely Kitsune for allowing me to use her character (Mandy Kumashiro) in my story. However, I would really like to thank Waynemon for giving me ideas, and even sending me a sample chapter of them. Thank you all so much for your support, and opinions. BTW if I am late again updating again, all the readers out there can tar and feather me since I know most of you have been waiting for this chapter for awhile. Plus, I know the sparring session between Renamon and Flamedramon, but I wanted to cut down on certain parts. I promise you the next one will be longer. Anyway, I have to go, and continue on writing. Hope to see comments from you all.
