Chapter 4
He watches as Henry and Rika leave, then he turns to make sure that Guilmon is fast asleep before heading home. He has homework to do and he wonders what Kazu and Kenta's reaction will be to him at school.
He walks towards home. He still needs to make plans on what to do about his beast spirit, for it's his responsibility to make certain that what he created doesn't in up hurting anyone. He doesn't have to worry about Guilmon developing a mean streak, for no matter what Digital evolution Guilmon goes through, as long as he doesn't project, Guilmon's going to remain Guilmon. He believes that and trusts his partner, though he wouldn't trust Guilmon in the bakery for the simple fact that all of the baked goods would most likely be gone by the time he re-enters the kitchen.
(----Rika----)
She stares at her cards lying on the table. She has trouble thinking about being angry with Renamon over the whole incident with IceDevimon. She reacted too quickly and thus she is partially to blame for what happened. If she had just had faith that they'll be able to Digivolve again, then IceDevimon wouldn't have gotten as far as he did when he kidnapped her.
Then there's the whole Takato being both a Tamer and a Digidestinied. She also knows a bit more about Takato's human spirit stats from skimming them over. In her opinion, Enlilmon was a foe to be reckoned with, but she doesn't know much about Cerawmon, there weren't any pages in the book about the beast spirit. She wonders if Takato is either holding out on them or they'll appear once the goggle head captures the spirit.
'Wonder what it's like to be a Digimon…' She thinks as she gathers up the cards. She finishes picking them up and putting them into her hoister when her grandmother calls out, "Rika supper!" "Coming!" She answers and then pauses, "I'll bring you back something, ok?" Then she leaves her room, knowing that she just surprised herself and her partner by saying that.

She clings to Kyubimon's mane as they races through the streets. She almost can't believe she almost lost Renamon to Harpymon. She still isn't clear as to why Renamon Digivolved, but she was being to see a pattern happening.
Her partner skips to a halt as a blond hair man steps in their path. She already dislikes this guy; he just rubs her the wrong way. "What do you want?" She asks coldly. "You're playing with fire, little girl. Just remember that." The man says and turns away from them.
They watch as the man turns a corner and is gone. "What was that about?" She wonders out loud. "I don't know." Kyubimon answers. She nods thoughtfully and soon they're on their way back to her house.
(----Takato----)
He sighs as he examines his desk. Rika asked him just after this week's the third Bio-Emerge if he could find his pages of information on Cerawmon. He's been searching since then and can't find them. Its not just info about Cerawmon has disappeared; also all of the few pages for the Fusion form are gone as well.
He sighs and begins to clean up the mess he made over the last two days. He truly is mystified on where the pages went, for he still has the pages about Guilmon and Enlilmon, the human spirit of Shifting Chaos. He decided to call the spirits he thought up Shifting Chaos for the simple fact it sounded cool and he was out of names. The human spirit uses the element of Darkness as a power source, while the beast uses the element of Light. He hadn't gone so far as to choose what element the Fusion form would use.
He never wrote more then three pages about the Fusion and those papers mostly had a bunch of different names of attacks he had been thinking up, listing the two elements that he used for the other two spirits, names to call the form, and some vague descriptions of a mode change. All he knows it wasn't much to go on, for the most part, it was just the first draft, he mostly just wrote down ideas as they came. But still, he wished he had more time to at least get around to the second draft for the Fusion form, he did roughly the same thing for Guilmon and the other two spirits.
He sighs and is soon finished cleaning up. He checks the time and finds that supper will be ready soon. He heads to take a quick shower before supper.
)-()-(
He waits for Henry at the gate of the school. His encounter with Kazu and Kenta this morning lead him to think that they're envious of him, for they tried to act like Digimon was just a kid thing and that they're grown out of it. He was weirded out when Jeri tried to cheer him up using the sock puppet. He really hopes that Jeri will one day leave the sock puppet at home and try to interact with people with out it.
"Takato!" He turns towards Henry and grins. "Hey Henry. Where Terriermon?" He asks. "He had a late night watching movies." Henry says. They begin to walk towards the building. "Really? I would have thought that someone would have noticed when he does." He replies to Henry. "He keeps the volume low." Henry says dryly.
He smirks a bit and then thinks about the incident with Impmon and his two friends. He says, "My two friends, Kazu and Kenta, meet up with Impmon a few days ago. It wasn't what one would call a good meeting, for Impmon tossed around a few fire balls." Henry sighs and says, "Well, we could talk with Impmon about his manners, I guess. I doubt it'll do any good though." He sighs and nods in agreement. They soon enter the building and they split up to head to their classes. They'll see each other during lunch.
)-()-(
He scans around the field looking for Henry. He finally spots him and he starts over towards the spot. He says, "Hey." Henry looks up and says, "Hey yourself." He sits down and begins to take out his lunch.
He takes out his sandwich and says, "I can't seem to find any pages about my beast spirit, Cerawmon. I think it'll show up when I capture it, though." Henry pauses and looks thoughtful before saying, "Are you certain you can't find it?" He nods and says, "I've been searching my room over the last two days. I also can't the first draft about the Fusion form of my human and beast spirit." Henry replies, "I didn't know that you had created a Fusion form." He looks uncomfortable and says, "I didn't finish it, first draft, you know? I didn't even have a name picked out, let alone a picture of it, just ideas."
They didn't say anything, but eat their lunch. He wonders if something big is going to happen soon, for their are setting into a comfortable groove recently. He also wonders about that guy that Rika ran into. He finishes his sandwich and opens his soda. He takes a sip and then begins to eat his dessert.
)-()-(
He stares out at DarkLizardmon as the men take her away. He just shakes his head from his spot. He doesn't like this, not one bit. He places a hand on Guilmon's head and says, "Time to go, boy." "But shouldn't we stop them?" Guilmon asks. He sighs and says, "I'll try, boy. Can you make it to the shed by yourself?" Guilmon grins and says, "Yipe!"
He watches as Guilmon heads towards the park and he pockets his D-Ark and takes out his D-Tector. He soon transforms into Enlilmon and he takes to the air to follow the van that carries DarkLizardmon. He shrouds himself in darkness as he flies over the street.
He turns to look at these twin towers that seem to be where the van is heading. His bad feel is increasing as he draws closer to them. He decides to do this before they get any closer to the towers. He slowly descends are the van slows up.
He lands on the roof and takes out Hydra. He stabs the roof and uses all of his strength to cut the roof with his sword. He pulls out Hydra and uses Ebony Slash to make the opening larger. He folds his wings as best as he can as he enters the van through the hole he made.
He blinks at the cage and uses Hydra to cut the bars to the cage holding DarkLizardmon. He hears someone outside of the van and looks between the Digimon and the door. "Finish it." DarkLizardmon says softly. He stares into DarkLizardmon's eyes and then slowly nods. "Forgive me." He whispers. He impales DarkLizardmon on Hydra and the data enters into his D-Tector.
The door opens and he rushes through the door. He soon leaps into the air and flies away from the sight. He truly didn't want to delete DarkLizardmon, but it was her wish and he granted it. He only hopes that it doesn't happen again.
(----Rika----)
They sit around outside of Guilmon's shed as Takato finishes telling them about what happened last night. She can see that Takato feels terrible about deleting DarkLizardmon last night. She didn't know if it would sit will with her to do the same thing, either.
Renamon then startles everyone by saying, "I'm sure that DarkLizardmon forgave you for deleting her without a fight." Takato smiles a bit at this and says, "You really think so?" "Believe it, Goggle head." She says. "Thanks you guys. But that doesn't help us with why those men wanted DarkLizardmon in the first place." Takato points out.
Henry nods and she admits that Takato's right about that. Terriermon says, "So, Momentai. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough." "Good point, for once." Henry says and Terriermon looks indignant about this. "So, we'll just have to wait and hope we're ready for what coming up." Takato says and they all nod in agreement with that.
)-()-(
She frowns as she stares at the strange cloud formation over the twin towers that Takato mentioned three days ago. She also stiffens as she watches Digimon get pulled into the hole in the sky. She looks over towards Renamon and asks, "What's happening up there?" The fox Digimon answers, "I don't like the look of this. Lets go." She nods in agreement and they race towards the towers.
They spot the same blond guy trying to bully Henry. She watches as the guy leaves Henry alone and as she draws closer to Henry, she asks. "What's that all about?" "Beats me, but something's merging." Henry says and she turns to find that the pair of towers engulfed in a blue light.
"I got a bad feeling about this." Terriermon says. "Lets find the goggle head." She says. "Right." Both Henry and Terriermon say at the same time. They speed away to find Takato and Guilmon. She hopes that Takato hasn't done anything yet; she wouldn't mind being the first to take a shot at this guy.
They soon found Takato and Guilmon. "Hey!" Both Henry and her say at the same time. "Hey you guys. Something's up there." Takato says. They slow up as they draw close to where Takato and Guilmon are standing. "What gave you that, Goggle head?" She asks sceptically. Takato turns and says, "I can feel it." She doesn't know what to say to that, so she doesn't say anything.
"So, who's first?" She asks. "Give it a go." Takato says. She watches as Renamon begins to ascend upwards to the roof of the one building. She holds out her D-Ark and watches the scenery through Renamon's eyes. She just hopes that she's going to be safe.
(----Takato----)
He closes his eyes to focus in on Growlmon. He can feel the throbbing pain from Growlmon. He feels the connection between Growlmon and him grow. 'Growlmon?' He sends. 'Takatomon? I need your help!' Growlmon replies. He smiles and sends. 'I don't know just how, but I'm willing if you are, boy.' He feels relief surge from their bond and he opens his eyes.
He takes out a card and focuses his energy into the card. He hears gasps from Henry and Rika as he swipes the card through his D-Ark. He cries out, "Matrix Digivolution!" He feels the energy rush right to Growlmon and feels his partner Digivolve. It feels different then him spirit evolving into Enlilmon.
His vision blurs and he sees the tiger Digimon from WarGrowlmon's viewpoint. He feels his body take the same stance as WarGrowlmon and he then holds up his arms to block the attack from Mihiramon. He feels the blows as WarGrowlmon's pain and they both grunt at the same time.
They move at the same time as they grab the tail. The pulling of Mihiramon's tail makes Mihiramon come in close so they could use Atomic Blaster on Mihiramon head on. It's a direct hit and he feels the connection fades back to what it had been before the battle, only now he's aware of it.
He breaths swallow breaths as WarGrowlmon descends to the ground. He turns when he hears Kazu says, "I thought that Impmon is your partner." He turns to find Jeri, Kazu, and Kenta standing a few feet away. He blinks at this and just sighs as he turns back to look at WarGrowlmon. He just knows that they haven't heard the last of this incident. He just hopes that they'll be ready for the next battle.

He sighs as he watches the other kids having fun with Guilmon. His partner is getting pushed around in a cart and has balls of paper in his nostrils. He watches as the balls shoot out of Guilmon's nose and hit Kenta in the back.
He's currently leaning on a tree that Impmon is lounging in. He can tell that the little guy feels left out and states, "You could join them." "Who says I wants to?" Impmon informs him. He sighs and says, "I'm just saying that they can't stop you if Guilmon doesn't mind." He could tell that Impmon was thinking about this and finally says, "I'm out of here before you start getting gushy." He sighs as he watches Impmon leap through the trees.
He stiffens, as something feels so wrong. He glances over to where Guilmon and them are playing. He fingers his D-Tector and then grips it. Something is going down and he needs to be there to help. He begins to move out of the park, he says, "I'll be back in a few, have fun without me." He doesn't hear the reply to that as he run towards the street.
He pauses as he notices a subway entrance. He looks around and then processes into the subway. He can't find anything out of the ordinary. He is about to head out of the subway. He turns when a fog appears to his left. There's barely anyone around as the Digi field moves through the tunnel.
He soon chases after the Digimon after it leaves. He soon uses his D-Tector to spirit evolve into Enlilmon. He races through the tunnels and soon watches as the Digimon does something and the train before the snake Digimon begins to become particles of data. He sighs and then notices that Henry and Terriermon were doing something, so he decides to distract the snake.
"Shadow Chain!" He cries out and the attack wraps around the body of the snake. He launches into the air. He heads to where Henry and Terriermon are. "You guys alright?" He asks. He hears Rika shout, "Go for it, Kyubimon!"
They turn to find Rika and Kyubimon were confronting the snake. He also notices that Rika doesn't have any data on the snake Digimon just yet. He moves forward and takes out Hydra. The snake Digimon turns and glares at him. "So stupid Digimon." The snake says.
Then Rika says, "Sandiramon is an ultimate level, virus Digimon. This guy's a Deva." He nods as Kyubimon attack the snake by using her Dragon Wheel, but the attack doesn't faze the Deva. He charges forward before Sandiramon attacks Kyubimon.
He blocks Sandiramon's tail and cries out, "Blazing Ancient!" The attack hits Sandiramon in the eye. The snake Deva growls and tries to attack him but he evades the attack. Kyubimon launches an attack from the air and the fire hits dead on.
He in turns uses Ebony Slash on Sandiramon. The attack slices Sandiramon in two. Sandiramon's data once more flows into his D-Tector. He sighs in relief.
"So, where's Guilmon?" Henry asks. "He's with some kids from school." He replies. "We need to get out of here." Rika says and he nods in agreement. They head back the way Sandiramon came from. They had a hard time hiding Kyubimon, but he also remembers that he's Enlilmon right now. He transforms back into his usual self then follows them into the park to where Guilmon is playing with those kids from his class.
He sighs as the kids stop what they're doing and look at Kyubimon and Terriermon. He smirks as the group of his classmates' races towards Kyubimon and towards Henry. They began to ask Henry and Rika questions about their partners. He doesn't envy them and is more then a little relieved that they don't know about his spirit evolution. He doesn't know what he would do if they found out, he just hopes that it'll be that way for a while yet.
He moves to help Guilmon out of the cart. "It's over already?" His partner asks. "Just for today, boy." He replies. Guilmon then asks, "Is it snack time yet?" He chuckles at this and says, "If you want it to be." Guilmon cheers at hearing this and he head over to take out the snack he packed for today.
)-()-(
He opens one of his eyes and then closes it again. Then he feels a pull yet again and he opens his right eye once more. He feels this need to be somewhere and he begins to wake up as he begins to feel the urgency for him to be somewhere else. He picks up his D-Tector and opens his window. He steps out onto the roof and transform into Enlilmon.
He takes to the air and flies to where the pull is the strongest. He wonders just what's happening, but that doesn't stop him from heading into that direction.
To be continued …
