Chapter 6

(----Nobody's----)

Guilmon sighs as he watches as Grani flies away from the castle. He knows that he'll miss his new friends, but he knows that his place is by Takato's side. Soon a portal opens up before them and they enter into it. He just hopes that Takato's alright or he'll make the one that hurt his best friend and partner pay.

(----Takato----)

He checks the time and notices that it's 9:07 pm. He sighs and looks over to where Koichi is. They didn't have the heart to wake the pair up from their naps, so they were more or less guarding the pair. He would have played with his deck, but he didn't feel like touching it. He didn't feel right going through the deck without Guilmon being close by.

They have been guarding the pair since 4:42 pm. Koichi ate about ten minutes after they began and except for odd times the get up to stretch, they have mostly been sitting around. For a good two hours he sketched things on his pad of paper and even did a great job drawing Kouji and Takuya fast asleep. He stopped when his fingers got sore and his wrist stiffened. So he had to pocket the pad and the pencil.

He yawns and stretches his arms. He feels like he can black out any second now. He sighs and gets up off the ground. Koichi notices and also gets up. They walk to the river together and bend down to splash their faces with water. "Bored, huh?" Koichi asks. He smiles and just nods at that. "You think they'll wake up soon?" He asks. "I believe so." Koichi says. They stand by the water's edge and just stare up into the black sky.

Then out of nowhere a blast of energy come their way. They ducked without even giving it a second thought. He turns and just stares at the lion Digimon that has appeared. "SaberLeomon… Cool!" He says and Koichi asks, "Why is that cool?" "Cause SaberLeomon is the mega form of Leomon and I remember seeing him during the first season. I was sad that he only appeared in one episode." He tells Koichi. Koichi looks surprise and says, "Ok, but what about the other one?"

Takato turns to look at the Digimon hovering about ten feet above the vaccine Digimon. This one had leather wings and a flexible tail. There are this bird heads on each shoulder and the head is wrapped up in a green scarf. Truthfully, he never heard of this Digimon, but figures that it's a mega level Digimon and takes a guess that this one is a virus. "Kind of a freaky looking guy, huh? No clue as to who he is though." He says to Koichi as they get up.

"You know the cat but don't know about ME! I am the great Murmuxmon! A mega level Digimon and I'm proud to be a demon lord!" Murmuxmon brags. "Thanks for the info." He says and Koichi nods in agreement with that. "Lets get this over with!" SaberLeomon growls out, stopping Murmuxmon from saying anything. Soon the lion Digimon charges forward and he cringes as he remembers how Jeri's partner had charged forward to keep Beelzemon from deleting Rika's partner. It kind of hurts that he's facing a Digimon from that evolution line, for he really doubts that he has it in him to fight the vaccine, now the other one he has no problem with though. "You fight SaberLeomon and I'll take Mr. Boastful." He says to Koichi. "You really can't find it in you to fight the lion mega then?" Koichi asks gently. He nods sheepishly and says, "I told you about Leomon and Beelzemon right?" Koichi nods and says, "Ok, just hurry up. I don't think I can handle this guy on my own." He nods and they soon part, he quickly takes out his D-Tector. He scans the ringlets of data with his D-Tector. Soon he takes to the air and he goes after Murmuxmon.

He has Hydra out and he slashes at Murmuxmon as the mega attacks him. They exchange blows as they circle around the clearing. He blocks with Hydra and kicks Murmuxmon in the stomach so they pull apart. He narrows his eyes at the mega and then gasps in shock as the virus transforms into NeoDevimon. "Remember me?" The transformed mega asks. All he does is growl as he remembers the encounter with this Digimon. He charges the virus; he can feel the old fury awaken as presses his attack on this Digimon.

(----Takuya----)

He knows that he's dreaming, but that doesn't help him. He can still hear the muffled cries of help as he glides through the air. He pauses to look at the door that is out lined with blue light. He lands on the ground and walks towards the door. He reaches out with his right hand and tries to open the door. He finds that the doorknob is stuck and he then uses both hands to try and open the door.

He leans on the doorknob with most of his body weight and it gives. He falls forward as the open swings open. He cries out and shakes his head. He gets up off the floor and walk through the doorway. He hears the door close behind him and he blinks as a forest appears around him.

He looks around, trying to pinpoint where he hears the cry of help. He soon walks forward onto a trail. He looks up as he hears the branches move and watch as something moves through the trees. He blinks as he notices flashes of white among the greenery. He shakes his head and continues on, he can hear the branches of tree rustle behind him as he goes.

He comes to a field and blinks as he notices this kid about five or six years old sitting on a rock. The kid was clutching his right arm and he freezes as he notices that something red is coming out of the arm. He moves forward and finds that the cries for help are louder here then anywhere else. He concludes that it was this kid that's been calling out. He says gently, "It's alright. I'm here." He stiffens as the kid looks at him. He finds that he's at a lost of what to say as he looks into blue eyes, those sad and lonely eyes.

He recovers and moves slowly towards the kid so that he doesn't frighten the boy. Something about the kid reminds him of someone, but he can't imagine whom though. He keeps a warm and friendly smile on his face as he approaches, soon he's in front of the kid and can see the large cut that he's clutching. "Don't be afraid." He says softly, for the kid had pulled away from him. "You wouldn't leave?" The boy asks quietly. "I promise." He answers and takes off his jacket. He puts it around the boy and examines the cut. He rips his shirt to make a bandage. The kid moves his arm so he can wrap the cut up.

Once that's through, the kid studies him. Then the kid asks, "Who are you?" He smiles slightly at this and answers, "I'm Takuya. What's your name?" The kid didn't answer right away for the little guy was studying him. Then the kid whispers, "Kouji." He blinks at that and then nods as he begins to see why the kid reminded him of someone, the kid is Kouji when Kouji was this age. "Why are you out here all alone?" He asks gently. Kouji frowns and looks away. "I don't have any friends." The child Kouji responds. "That's not true, I'm your friend." He tells the kid.

Kouji looks into his face with a serious expression that shouldn't be on a kid's face. "Are you sure?" Kouji asks. "I'm here aren't I?" He asks. "I guess so…" Kouji replies. He holds out his hand and Kouji takes it.

Scenery changes and he finds himself shaking hands with a teenage Kouji, they stop shaking hands. "What happened?" Kouji asks, clearly confused. "Beats me. Is this your dream or mine?" He asks. "Both of ours maybe?" Kouji says with a shrug. He nods and says, "That means that Koichi and Takato are alone, guarding our sleeping bodies." "Lets wake then." Kouji says. He nods and soon he can hear sounds of battle. In a flash, he wakes up.

He groans as he sits up. He turns and finds Kouji also waking up. He turn to where he hears the sounds of battle and find JagerLoewemon fighting another lion Digimon. Glancing up, he finds Kurashimon battling a NeoDevimon. He's confused as to why Takato is using his Fusion form to battle an ultimate level Digimon. That is, until the NeoDevimon is sent flying into a tree and the Digimon transforms into someone else.

He shares a glance with Kouji and says, "I think they're mega level Digimon. I'll help out Kurashimon." "I'll help out my brother." Kouji says and they both take out their D-Tectors. He scans the complex ringlets of data that appear circling his left hand. "Spirit Evolution!" He cries out. Soon he takes to the air as Aldamon. He uses Blaze Corona on the virus Digimon. He wonders just what's going to happen next though.

(----Rika----)

Just before they answer, something happens and she just stares at Grani and then at Guilmon. "I think we over shot it, Grani." Guilmon says. "Guilmon?" Renamon asks. The virus rookie turns and waves as the red Digimon says, "Hi guys! We were worried about what happened to you guys!" Then Guilmon turns to look at the two teens and the kid and asks, "Who are they?" "Don't know. Can you ask Grani to come lower so we can get on?" Ryo asks.

Grani descends and they then start to climb onto the 'war horse.' Then the group of three climbs on and she asks, "Where do you think you're going?" "We need to get to the Digital World and this is the quickest way to get there." Zoe replies. "Whatever." She says and Ryo then begins the introductions. "I'm Ryo and my partner is Monodramon. This wildcat is Rika and her partner is Renamon. Grani and Guilmon are partners with our friend Takato."

Before any of them can say anything, Grani opens a gate and they enter it. Within two minutes, they found themselves in a land of darkness. "Isn't this?" Tommy asks. "I think it is." JP says. Zoe says, "Continent of Darkness." She blinks and sighs. "Takato's in trouble!" Guilmon says suddenly. "Where?" She asks sharply. "Over there!" Guilmon says as he points to their right.

As they fly toward that direction, Zoe says, "I think I see Aldamon, but who are the other two?" She makes out a red figure and then a blue one with this multicoloured one. "I think the blue one is Kurashimon." She says and then says. "Renamon?" "On it Rika." Renamon says. She holds her D-Ark out and soon the image of the Digimon appears. She reads out the stats that appear.

Murmuxmon

Mega level Digimon

Attribute: Virus

Demon lord type. Attacks are Gehenne Flame and Necro Interrogation.

"That's really handy." Tommy says in awe. She holds on to her D-ark and says, "Well, you might see something even more amazing. Right Ryo?" Ryo nods and their partners move close to them. Then ask one, all four of them drop off the back of Grani. "Bio Merge activate!" Ryo and her shout out. "Renamon Bio Merge too…" Renamon says and then in their dual voice they say, "Sakuyamon!" "Justimon!" They hear Justimon shout out.

They soon moving through the dark forest, they soon draw closer to where the battle is and they notice another battle happening between three Digimon. One is definitely SaberLeomon, the other two are unknown and there is a figure with a sword with twin blades coming out of a hilt and then a black armoured lion Digimon. They glance over to Justimon and says, "We'll go after Murmuxmon, you think you can handle this one?" Justimon says, "Good luck." They nod and leap into the air.

"Spirit Strike!" They shout out in their dual voice. "Great timing, Sakuyamon!" Kurashimon says as their attack sends the other mega flying through the air. "So you must be Rika and Renamon. I heard good things about the both of you." Aldamon says. She blushes on hearing that. 'I wonder what Takato told them?' She says to Renamon. 'Sounds like it's all good.' Her partner states with a bit of amusement. 'Knowing Takato, your probably right.' She says.

Then Kurashimon asks, "Is Guilmon and Grani here?" "Their with JP, Tommy, and Zoe." They say together. "My friends are here? Are they ok?" Aldamon asks. "Their fine." She says with her own voice. Aldamon nods and charges the resting mega. "So what's up with this guy and SaberLeomon?" They ask together. "This Digimon by the name of MetalPhantomon is going about and turning Digimon into his slaves. You saw that X mark on Murmuxmon's forehead? It's how MetalPhantomon controls the Digimon." Kurashimon tells them. They nod thoughtfully and say, "Then all we need to do is get rid of the mark. We can do that."

As one they begin a spell. "Marks of bondage; Forehead's mark. Your power we mark; We overpower thee and thus banish thee. Be gone by our command!" They swing their staff and it works for they hear both mega level Digimon cry out in pain.

Aldamon stands before the fallen mega and they move behind the Warrior of Fire. Soon Murmuxmon begins to laugh and then says, "Thanks for breaking the spell, let me reward you. Gehenne Flame!" Aldamon is sent flying into them and as they move to get out from under Aldamon, a voice rings out, "Twin Fang!"

The attack deletes the virus and they look over at SaberLeomon. "My thanks for getting rid of the spell that was casted on me. To find MetalPhantomon just head to the mountain, you can't miss the entrance to his lair. Farewell and good luck." SaberLeomon says and then takes off running into the forest. Soon they can't hear the sounds coming from that direction.

She unmerges with Renamon and turns to study Takato. She blinks as she finds that Takato now has a tan and that his hair was longer then it sure be. "You still look the same from when I left, Rika." Takato says. "You've changed Takato." She says simply. "It's been a good two months for me. How long has it been for you guys?" Takato asks. "Two months? It's barely been a week!" She says, shocked at the amount of time that has passed for Takato. "Really? That's good to know. Not too much has changed then." Takato says brightly. "Goggle head." She says and turns to watch Takuya greets two other teens and Ryo.

"Takato!" Guilmon cries out as the large red rookie tackles his partner. "Hey boy! Great to see you too!" Takato says and hugs his partner around the neck. Guilmon move to let Takato up off the ground and they turn to find Grani has landed. The three that hitched hiked a ride on Grani was racing toward Takuya, Kouji, and Koichi.

"So how long have you've been traveling with them?" She asks. "About two weeks." Takato replies. "So then, what were you doing for the first month?" She asks. "Got a job delivering packages and letters to different place in Wind Country." Takato says as he shrugs. Then Guilmon pipes in, "I made friends with a black version of me as well as a Gallantmon." They turn to look at the red Digimon and Takato smiles. "Good for you, Guilmon. But I think we should wait a while before you tell us about Grani and yours adventures, ok?" Takato says. "Ok." Guilmon says and they then walk over towards where the group is.

(----Takato----)

He shakes his head slightly so he can look over at Rika. The corners of his mouth move upwards. "Busy day tomorrow." He says to Guilmon. He turns to look up into the sky as Guilmon says, "Yip. It's great to be with you again, Takato." He nods and says, "I missed you a lot Guilmon. It felt odd not having you by my side. I was pretty lonely without you." Guilmon doesn't reply to that and after a few minutes then says, "I think you need to get some sleep. You look really tired." He chuckles and says, "True enough." He gets up off the ground and heads over to where Koichi is.

He nods to himself and then lays down about two feet away from the teen. He lies on his back and closes his eyes. Within five minutes, he fast asleep.

(----Takuya----)

He looks over to where Koichi is resting and notices that Takato is close by also sleeping. He smiles and nods slightly, then turns to look over at Takato's partner, Guilmon. Renamon had joined the red Digimon and they both were sky gazing, even if there wasn't anything to look at up there.

"They look peaceful." Zoe says to his left. "Yea, they do." He says. "You think that they might be…" His crush asks. "Don't know." He replies simply. He turns his head slightly to look over at Kouji, who's by his right. Their eyes met and he sends a smile Kouji's way. Kouji smiles a bit and nods before returning to listen to Ryo's story. He turns to look at the large dragon Digimon that is Cyberdramon. He turns away from the ultimate and takes a look in Rika's direction and could tell she seems deep in thought. He turns to look into the fire and hopes that they're ready for what happens tomorrow.
