Well, I got some chapters from someone named…uh…chaos prophet. This one doesn't have those numbers, so it's easier to upload. But next time, don't put all the chapters together. I had a hard time trying to open the file.

West Shinjuku Park: 8:19 PM…

Night: a scene after the time of daylight; sometimes a time where romance plays, or the beings of a never ending work spends this time to rest. However, there is no romance; there is no resting at this point. Only pity one feels toward a certain female who refuse to rid the demons in her.

Takato Matsuki couldn't help but feel guilty about the way he acted towards Rika back at the school; but then again, she did kill two living creatures, despite that those Digimon tired to kill Guilmon and Calumon. It was wrong for her to destroy them without thinking twice, but still, maybe he shouldn't have yelled at her.

"Aw shot!" waking from his thoughts, Takato noticed TK checking his D-3 watch. "I better get home! My mom is probably about to dial the number for the national guards."

"Odaiba is a long way from here. You sure you can survive the subway in this time? I mean, it does get rough at this night." Asked Henry.

The blonde smiled while holding his Digivice. "Don't worry; I got a faster way home. You up for it, Patamon?"

"I'm fully charged like an energizer battery! Of course I am!"

Terriermon smiled as he scratched his chin. "I should use that line."

-

(Armor-Digivolution)

"PATAMON ARMOR-DIGIVOLVE TO… PEGASUSMON! FLYING HOPE!!!"

-

Takato's frown turned into a wide smile when he witnessed the evolution of the little Patamon into an armored winged horse called Pegasusmon. TK mounted on the orange horse and waved his hat like a cowboy when his Digimon lift up his front legs.

"Nice working with you guys. Be seeing ya!" with that, the armored horse took off to the night sky, kicking off wind that made the Tamers' clothes fluttered.

"Wow…I wonder if I can do that to Guilmon." Takato muttered as he watched the silhouette of Pegasusmon fly towards the moon.

"Takatomon, I'm hungry. Did you bring any bread?"

Gulimon…now that he thought of him, Takato has to deal with the subject that Guilmon once again disobeyed him.

"Guilmon?"

"Takatomon?"

"I'm not a mon, but listen…if we're gonna be Digimon and his Tamer then you got to listen to me even more….you gotta try harder to stay out of trouble."

"Sorry Takatomon…but…then we'll play?"

Takato smiled. "Yeah."

"sniff It's so beautiful! It's so sickening beautiful!"

"Terriermon, behave yourself!"

Tokyo: 7:23 AM…

And so we end another day of the DigiDesinted and their new found friend, the Tamers. But tomorrow lies another day of, you guessed it, school. And tomorrow has come already, where the DigiDestined and their new found friends, the Tamers, prepare for another 'exciting' in the great but cheap halls of education.

Not only do the children have to journey to school, but those who have daily life jobs must be profiled to continue them, wither they like their jobs or not, money must be needed to survival.

But enough about that; Let us take a magical journey in the land of a sweetest and gentle creature of all the land of the rising sun. A young girl who's eyes brightens the morning sun with her breath of life.

"Rika, time for school."

What then triggered was the sound of a grumpy and vicious mountain lion. "Grrraaahhhh!!"

-

We wouldn't tell the truth if we were lying.

-

Another day, another misery for Ruki Nonaka; that's what it is to her, and just when she was enjoying her embarrassing weekend. But now it's time to survive that hell hole they call an all-girls' private school, where snobby girls talk behind Rika's back; it's always…

"You don't need to jump off a building to commit suicide; just talk to Rika."

"I can't believe a cool mom caught stuck with a lunatic like her."

"It's Nonakazilla! We must flee or die!!"

And then at lunch, she would sit under her tree, all alone, and the girls would stay away from a three feet distance. It's the same, everyday.

However, today is different. On this very day, she will embark on a darkish horror….

Her mother visiting the school.

"The horror…"

West Shinjuku: 7:30 AM

"Why is everyone at the soccer field, Kazu?"

"Gee I don't know, Kenta; a soccer game, maybe?"

"At 7:30 in the morning?"

"It could happen."

Kids of the school gathered around the school yard, including Kazu, Kenta, and Jeri. However Takato and Henry stood far behind, looking hesitated and nervous. Right before the crowd was a field of pothole with burnt frames. Not only that, more scribble chalk lines were drawn on the field. Although if they knew, like Takato and Henry, they would have knowledge that first Guilmon and Calumon drew on the soccer field, then two Vilemons decide to ruin the fun, and finally, Rika and Renamon followed the 'kill and ask questions later' routine.

But they don't know that, but what if Takato and Henry told them what really happened?

"You know, they probably won't believe us if we told them the truth." Takato whispered to Henry.

"I know." He laughed.

-

"Okay, okay everybody. Give me your attention…for a change; you too, Kazu."

"Aw man."

Here we find your average elementary school teacher starting another average day of class with another throbbing pain in her head. An attractive woman around her twenties named Ms. Asagi, who may have second thoughts about the career she choused, began her announcement that the faculty told her to bring up.

"I assume none of you vandalize the soccer field; though I wouldn't put it pass some of you. But if you know anything about it, let me know."

Fortunately only our brave Takato knew about the incident, which is why his head was low and his pressure was high within his head. After all, he was part of the cause. But would he plant his little feet to the floor, bravely inform his teacher the truth and end up behind bars and his Digimon inside a research bottle?

What do you think?

"Now pick your pencils, it's time for a test."

Just like she expected behind her past experiences, the students responded with surprised gasp and childish whines. But none can top the whining scale better than Hirokazu can.

"No faiiiiiir!"

Asagi passed around the test papers; sighing after hearing the Kazu-whining #304.

"If life were fair, I'd be in Maui. Maybe this will teach you to pay attention in class."

"Aww, I don't wanna learn that!"

Takato rolled his eyes as he endured another one of Kazu's pleas for mercy.

Yep, just another Monday of school; his teacher giving yet another pop quiz to all, and Kazu crying like a baby. There wasn't anyone in the world that had it bad as Takato does in school.

East Shinjuku private school: 8:02 AM

Well here we are at the foundation where our wild Tamer is forced to go everyday. It makes her pine for hell. As of now, Rika sat on her desk, planted by the windows, while she and the girls waited for the teacher.

Oh how she wished for this day to be over soon so she can run around, happily kicking some Digimon butt, but would life just speed up time for her sake? Noooo! It just has to be a jack-ass; making Rika's life a living hell.

Rika is but the pariah of the school. She is but a being in a school full of snotty females, and she squanders all popularity points. All she has in her school life was her best friend….er…okay, she had nothing.

But today was like no other. Today will mark yet another day of pain and torture; something that may scar our young and insane heroine for a while.

Her mother visiting her school. Oh the horror. The sheer pain of mental health.

She and her mother never see things eye to eye. They're like red light and green light, vanilla and chocolate or other stuff that are opposite. It is because of her mother's modeling career and lifestyle that she disapproves. Despite that her mother always tries to drag Rika away from her tomboy phase, Rumiko does whatever she can to spend time with her daughter.

Unless of course her cell phone goes off.

"Oh that's so typical." She mutters as she watched her mother walk off, talking on her phone. It's always her business and fashion she squanders in.

Nonaka residence: 4:21 PM

To Rika's relief as well as most kids, school was over for the day. After she was finally out of that school uniform she despises so much, she then decided to rest her mind and soul, mediating her mental thoughts for the challenges that will be fought. In other words: She's just sorting out her cards.

"What are you doing?"

Just then, Rika's mother comes in her room, checking over her shoulder.

"Nothing."

Smiling, Rumiko waved over to Rika's other shoulder, which the girl tired to turn a little in her way.

"What is that, tarot cards?"

"Yeah, right…" Rika muttered.

"Are you in to fortune telling?"

"Ugh…"

No matter how much she tries, Rumiko just can't seem to attach to her daughter; it's like trying to get through a steel wall just at least to get her to say hi.

"Well whatever you're into, I'll leave you alone with your silly game. But I got a whole world to explore with my glamorous beauty. A model such as myself needs to expose herself to the entire world and not let fear stop her from…."

There she goes again with her model speeches. Rika just simply sat away from her mother, with a smug across her face, as she endured her lectures. It doesn't take a genius to translate this as one of her mother's pathetic attempts to bring her out of the shell Rika felt cozy to. And it doesn't take someone like the Hulk to withstand her talk on model morals. But most importantly, she doesn't care what Rika likes to do for a living, and that's being a Digimon Tamer; course there's no way she would tell.

A silly game? Ha! How would she know? She doesn't give a damn about what I do, anyways. Sides, taming Digimon is much respectable than…ugh….modeling.

It's like the heavens finally got her call, because now her mother left her room. There was now finally peace. But, all this silence is unacceptable for the ice-cold Tamer. She needs some action, excitement, death to all renegade Digimon for Renamon to swipe their data and become stronger. That is Rika's way of life.

"Ruki…"

Suddenly, the yellow-coated fox revealed herself from the shadows of Rika's room.

"Renamon, what did I say about that name?" the Tamer said with a look of authority.

"My apologies; A Digimon has shown itself. Are you ready?"

A cold smile shown below Rika's nose. "Are Goggleheads retards? Let's go."

West Shinjuku Park: 4:26 PM

Elsewhere, we find our young heroes, Takato and Henry, hanging by Guilmon's shaft as they watched the red dino Digi-Wrestling with Terriermon.

"And what surprises will this dog bring upon the red challenger?" Terriermon narrate himself. Suddenly, he stood on one knee and looked at his ear like it was holding something heavy. "No…wait…can you feel the intensity? It's…THE DIGI-ROONI!!" he then performed a spinning break dance. But then, Guilmon tackled the bunny, which Terriermon could only recognize that attack to be like the Goldberg tackle.

"Celebrating a little too early, Terriermon? Not a good idea." Henry smirked.

Just then, Calumon hopped on Takato's head. "Culu! Hey this looks like fun! Here I come!" the In-Training Digimon then dived right on Terriermon's gut.

"Ooo!" Takato winced. "The Swan Dive!"

Just when it was all getting interesting, Takato and Henry's D-Arcs picked up a signal with their ever-annoying alarm clock sounds.

"Fun times over, guys." Herny warned.

"Guilmon?"

The red dragon happily hopped on his feet, but Terriermon was unable to, due to the ultimate torture he received from Calumon.

"H..H Hen..HAHAHAH…GET…CALUMON OFF...HAHAHA…Tickling my stom..HAHAHA!!"

"Terriermon, we got a Digimon to deal with. Let's go!"

With a sudden energy in him, Terriermon leaped up and launched Calumon. "Yea! Here comes the pain!"

South Shinjuku: 5:07 PM

The south of Shinjuku, mostly where the most dangerous streets lay in the fare land; where the thugiest of thugs wanders in their ways. But that doesn't matter to our heroes, because there runs Rika in a large abandoned factory, where a fog bank, known as a digital field, blankets the center of the land.

She removed her shades as soon as she arrived at the eye of the fog. She peered over Renamon, who made vision of herself from the shadows. Then they made eye contact with their new opponent; a large blue dinosaur with Indian garments on its head.

"Hmm…he looks like a decent challenge. Let's see what the Digivice say."

-

Allomon: Dinosaur Digimon. With its ancient power, it covers the area with a primeval flame. This Digimon's breath is like a hot wind.

Type: Data

Stage: Armor

Attacks: Dino Burst, Dynamite Burst

-

"This should be a nice warm up. Renamon, take him down."

"As you wish."

Play Final Fantasy X battle theme

Like the winds, Renamon flew up, delivering a massive kick to the snout. The armor level dino staggered back, but counters with a swinging tail, batting Renamon's back to a brick wall.

"Renamon, what the hell was that? You should've handled that easily."

Fortunately, Renamon didn't respond but plant her feet on the wall, peeled herself off, and leaped back to the air before Allomon crushed where she once stood.

"DIAMOND STORM!!" the fox Digimon brought forth her raining shards upon Allomon.

"DINO BURST!!"

But Allomon launched a fire blast from his mouth, and blast the shards away. The data type hurtled through the smoke with energized paws.

"POWER PAW!!"

She responds with another kick to the face, but this time, Allomon quickly grabbed her leg and catapulted to a stack of wooden boxes.

"Oh this is getting ridiculous." Rika muttered as she digs through her card pouch. "DIGI-MODIFY…SNOWAGUMON ACTIVATE!!"

As Renamon pulled herself out of the pile of broken wood, she can feel the artic breeze generate around her body. Like the birds of the sky, Renamon leaped up in the air, but this time, she generates a ball of ice and cupped it within her paws.

"Let's play freeze tag! FROZEN WIND!!"

"DINO BURST!!"

Allomon once again blew a stream of fire across Renamon's beam of ice. Both energy attacks crashed into each other and played a contest of power by pushing against one another. The Armor Digimon gained a stronghold over Renamon, meaning Renamon wasn't lasting long to keep up with Allomon's power.

"Will you stop playing around? You're better than this clown!" Rika shouted, who was irritated by her Digimon's performance.

"I'm…sorry, Rika!" Renamon squealed in a struggling voice. "He's far too powerful than I expected!"

"That's no excuse! You could win if you just Digivolve!"

Allomon took the opportunity to let go of the attack, not without sliding his head away from the ice beam. With a mighty blow, he slammed his foot on the concrete floor, creating an earthquake that forced Renamon's balance off. The blue dino quickly charged forth and swung his tail like a baseball bat, whacking Renamon right out of the park, and hurtling toward some rusty electric generators.

"RENAMON!"

Like an angel from the heavens, the orange winged horse, Pegasusmon, swooped down and caught the flying fox.

"Evening, miss!"

Back on the ground, Guilmon and Terriermon rushed toward the blue dinosaur, as Takato and Henry approached an irritated Rika.

"Rika, are you alright?" Takato said with a worried tone.

Henry crossed his arms with a stern look. "Figured you be here. Lucky thing that TK and Kari gave us a lift or else it take more than an hour to…"

"God damn! Why don't you just mind your own…No better yet, why don't you jump off the Rainbow Bridge?"

Henry narrowed his face at Rika. "Gee you're welcome, and do you always have to make your Digimon fight like this?"

"You know, Brainiac, I'm sick of you sounding like a broken record."

-

"BUNNY BLAST!!!"

Allomon tried to advance at his new foes, but Terriermon fired his multiple shots to keep the beast back, allowing Nerfertimon, a winged Egyptian cat with a pharaoh mask, and Pegasusmon to fly close to blue lizard.

"GOLDEN NOOSE!!"

The two Digimon touched each other's gold energized paws and hooves and split apart to be attached with a golden beam. They flew in circles around Allomon, with the beam extending wider. Once Neferitimon and Pegasusmon flew away in opposite direction, the beam squeezed the Armor Digimon.

"DIGI-MODIFY…POWER ACTIVATE!"

"PYRO SPHERE!!"

Finally, thanks to Takato modification with a card, Guilmon brought Allomon down on his back with a ferocious blast.

"Alright, we got him!" Takato cheered.

Soon, TK and Kari ran up by the Tamers, with a laptop at hand. Kari breathed easy as she opened the computer. "Great, now we can send him back to the Digital World."

"DIGI-MODIFY…HYPER CHIP ACTIVATE!!"

Suddenly, with a burst of power, Renamon launched past the humans, slashing her paws around that created windy arcs that made their clothes flutter. She landed before them, with her back towards the group, and without bothering to look over them.

"I suggest you stay out of this. Leave this battle with me."

Renamon engages back to Allomon, with new power resting within her body. Allomon swings a tail once again, except that this time Renamon sweeps it away with a kick.

"POWER PAW!!"

The fox did a spinning dance before releasing a round house kick to the dino's face. Gracefully, she planted back on the ground, and shot a punch to the gut, before she backflipped a distance away from Allomon.

"kaff…DINO BURST!!"

"A Digimon of a few words, huh? FROZEN WIND!!"

Just like before, both blast collided with each other. But this time, Renamon's attack easily overpowered the fire, and cut through it like butter to incase the beast's face in ice. Renamon finishes the job by leaping up in the air, like it was her environment, and crossed her arms to summon a pack of shards when she spread her arms out.

"DIAMOND STORM!!"

The tiny diamonds was able to cut through Allomon's body like bullets, piercing and stabbing his blue skin, and shredding his body like newspaper, until he was nothing but another flock of data for Renamon to absorb.

End music

Right as the fog cleared up, Rika and Renamon stood with the winds blowing by, staring at the speechless group with satisfied looks on their faces.

"Time to go, Renamon; we have no time to hang with these losers."

Rika simply walked away while Renamon fazed from vision. But as when TK was about to say something, Takato pushed him away and followed Rika.

"Hey, we need to talk!"

Slowly, Rika rotated her head towards the boy. "Okay, sure; I have something to say: Don't you dare get in my way next time, little boy. Renamon and I work alone!"

Takato at first was fazed from her remark, but he shook it off and focused on Rika. But his eyes suddenly caught something above her, through a gusty wind; a shadowed humanoid figure standing on the factory rooftops. The being seems to have large bug-shaped wings and….but just as Takato studied the dark stranger, it vanished.

"Hey, what's wrong?" TK asked.

"Uh…it was nothing."

-

Little do they know, the DigiDestined and Tamers were watched the entire time. The figure was not the one Takato spotted, but it was a small creature; a dark purple monster with a little white face, large green eyes, and a sinister smile. He also wore a red bandana around his small neck and an evil smiling face on his chest.

"Yuck! What a pathetic bunch digital fools. No self-respecting Digimon would ever slave for smelling, s----- humans. Guess ol' Impmon better smack some sense into their thick skulls." He said with what seems to be a Brooklyn accent.

(A/N: Praise and be praised! All hail Impmon!)

Nonaka residence: 8:03 PM

The night is young over the mansion of Nonaka. Out in the beautiful backyard, decorated in traditional Japanese landscape, Rika sat on the porch, staring towards the moonlight, then moves her eyes down at her Digivice.

Flashback

"That was pathetic! Are you trying to make me look bad? There's no excuse to be struggling against an Armor leveled Digimon, Renamon!"

The girl paused for a sec as she paced around the coffee table. Even though Renamon is pretty much an emotionless Digimon who shows no signs of expression, she was pretty much ashamed of herself to be disappointing Rika.

"I just don't get it! You load off data from every Digimon we kill. You should be able to Digivolve right about now! What is the problem?"

Silence is what came first from the fox Digimon. "I don't know, Rika." She calmly said.

End flashback

She clenches deeply on her Digivice. Oh how she hates the look or the smell of failure. It was something she never wanted to look at its face. Looking up at the moon, its lunar beauty wasn't enough to calm her boiling soul. The desire to win and be the best was greater.

-

On a rooftop, close to Rika's home, the tall Digimon, Renamon, also watched that full moon. Her metallic blue eyes glisten along the lunar light.

Be patient, Ruki. I will Digivolve. You shall wait and see. I promise that I shall not fail, again….

Renamon relaxed her eyes; meditating to release her extra energy not needed for the night. "Loading data…feeling stronger by that…is that what I need to Digivolve?"

"Ooo, what's wrong, tootsie? You got a problem with Digivolving?"

Looks like her extra energy is needed. She tensed her muscles as she turned her body. From that, she spotted the purple imp, licking a bubble gum lollipop in front of her.

"Eh, you don't look too happy, but then again why wouldn't you be when you answer to some snot-nosed brat and be treated like Digi-shit? Am I right?"

The little Digimon crushed the candy to chew on the gum before he arrogantly flicked the white stick away.

-

"Huh?"

The young Tamer jumps alert once her Digivice went off. She gripped on it and tried to get a lock on the reading.

"Another Digimon! Come on, pick up. Renamon, you better be there…yes!"

-

Impmon: Small demon Digimon. This type of Digimon loves to play tricks. It invites chaos and calls forth sprits to cause havoc.

Type: Virus

Stage: Rookie

Attacks: Bada Boom, Inferno Funnel

-

"Hmm, a new player in the game…Bada Boom? What is this, a Brooklyn type Digimon?"

-

Renamon only wanted to find a little peace. This little purple thing wasn't worth her time. She leaped rooftop to rooftop to find a place for a little R&R, but the annoying imp Digimon wouldn't learn the meaning of personal space.

"Look, I don't know who you are, but Rika is my partner; and not her attitude or what you say isn't going to change that."

Impmon balanced on a phone wire with Renamon, grinning upon her sight. "Ooo, aren't we loyal. Course your so-called partner is doing a good job screwing with your brain from my point of view."

He paced around the wire, laying his hands on his head. "Take it from me; that pig-brat of a human doesn't believe you can do things on your own freakin time, and that's the most pathetic thing I ever seen."

He twists towards Renamon, snapping his fingers. "You Digi-pets are all the same; being like a freakin puppet for one of those underground animal fight things, or that stupid Digimon wanna-be show…uh what is it? Oh yeah, Pok-e-man or whatever. Deep down inside, you losers wanna be like me, a real do it yourself Digimon; yeah that's me! But then again who wouldn't? I don't blame ya!"

However Renamon just stood there, like a lifeless statue.

"Hello? What are ya, deaf or something? Fine, let me cut ta the chase. Ya look sad, and that makes me angry; sitting here watching you cry about making your human sick to her stomach, like I am right now. 'Oh boo-hoo, she didn't like my performance. Waa-haa!' Bah! You know what; anger isn't good for my blood, so I'll chill it out for your sake. Take it from me, there's a whole world out there waiting to torment. Like Hawaii. Oh the girls there! Or maybe France; yeah that damn, spotty, snotty France; Or Italy, where maybe I can see the Mario Bros. Yeah, that's right, a whole damn world out there to explore, and you're here sitting in denial that you're all happy being pulled on a leash by that pissy human."

"…Are you done?"

"Yeah, that's about all I wrote."

"Well if that's your best advice then maybe you need to hire a new writer." With that said on his shocked face, Renamon gracefully leaps onto the streets

"Whoa, that was rude, you little bitch! Here's a little reminder about myself! BADA BOOM!"

The purple demon shot a couple of fireballs that blew up in Renamon's face when she turned around.

"Word of advice, since I'm so generous; dump the smelly girl or things will get nasty. BADA BOOM!"

This gave Renamon a signal to leap to the side, zig-zag towards the Rookie to dodge the fireballs, and soccer kick the midget far to the distance.

"YOU GOT LUCKY!!!!" the airborne imp screamed before a thump was made behind some houses.

Being mature and humble, Renamon gave no sign of celebration after that. But now her Digi-senses directed her focus to somewhere in the park woods.

-

"Sir, another wild one is about to bio-emerge."

"Send a tracer. Make sure it doesn't break through!"

The women of the tower computers types in commands to hunt to signal. "We can't stop it. It's about to breach!"

-

Somewhere in the east side of downtown Shinjuku, our young heroine, Hikari Kamiya, already left her brother's college, is on her way to home.

"You know Kari, maybe we should just fly home. I mean you know how dangerous the subways are at night."

Kari smiled at Gatomon's concern. "Yeah, but the way will tire you-" But a call from her D-Terminal interrupted.

"We've received a signal of another Digimon entering through around the Shinjuku National Gardens. Rika's signal is approaching there and you're the only DigiDestined close by. Follow Rika's signal as fast as you can."

Izzy

"You ready, Gatomon?"

"I ain't no lazy kitty cat. Let's boogie!"

-

Like a jungle cat rushing through the greens, Rika hurried through the woods as she followed a new signal. As she approached an opening, the first thing she spotted was a spread of webs covering trees like gum. In the center of the area, she spotted Renamon facing up at a large spider perched on its own web. This creature had some biker attire and a number of frightening green eyes.

"Renamon!"

"Rika!"

The large arachnid skidded down on the white web, licking its slimy lips. "Ooo, an organic and digital snack; How thoughtful! Wait there for me to eat you; it won't take long."

The vulpine Digimon snarled at the arachnid. "Not a chance! Eat dirt!" she kicked a dust full of dirt right at the spider's face.

"ptf Bleck! I hate earthy meals! You asked for it, fondue-goodness!"

-

Dokugumon: Insect Digimon. This fearsome Digimon corrodes everything in sight. It melts anything it touches.

Type: Virus

Stage: Champion

Attacks: Poison Thread, Venom Blast

-

To the point of view of Rika Nonaka, this Digimon was just another victim. But to Renamon, this was a chance to once again prove to herself to the eyes of her Tamer. She will not let the words of that Impmon get the best of her.

Clouds darkened, and tiny drop of water hurtled from the heavens. But this weather did little or none to effect the Tamer's mood. With this, she had only one thing to say.

"Step over her, Renamon, and this time no clowning around!"

Play 'Chaos ver. 0, 2, 4' from Sonic Adventure DX soundtrack

Renamon began the battle by shooting straight at Dokugumon with her arms crossed.

"DIAMOND STORM!!"

"POISON THREAD!!"

Fortunately, Dokugumon sprayed her poisonous webbing to create a swirly shield, blocking the shards. It caught Renamon off guard; long enough for the spider to catch her with a Venom Blast, throwing Renamon back through a field of webs. After she plowed to the floor, Renamon struggled back up as she felt the burns on her body and the webs stuck on her fur.

"Renamon! Stop goofing around! You can beat her!" Rika then held a card between her two fingers, raising it above her head in a dramatic effect. "DIGI-MODIFY…BIRDDR….!!"

WPHT!! As if this Digimon was like Spider-Man. Dokugumon directly whipped the card off Rika's hand with its webbing.

"HEY!!!"

Dokugumon leaped off its webbing and hurtled down to the human child, and then it shot more webbing, trapping Rika in a gum of webbing around her body.

The web froze her body on one spot. She was unable to reach for her D-Arc that was glued into the webs. She was trapped, and without her Digivice she'll feel…no stay calm, do not give into weakness. It is the enemy…. her chest, her spine, everything felt cold when she looked into the monster's hungry teeth. Dokugumon's focus was onto her hunger, and Rika looked very appetizing.

A wave of fear controlled her thoughts. Her Digimon Queen personal lost control as the spider charged towards her like a wildcat. There was only thing Rika could only think….scream.

"HEEEEELP!!!!"

"DIAMOND STORM!!!"

The barrage of diamonds struck straight on the spider's face, like powerful hails; forcing the arachnid back. Renamon then quickly fazed near Rika and ripped the webbing off of her.

Rika's eyes grew wide as large pearls. A moment she never dreamed of happened before her eyes.

"Renamon…you saved me?" Rika believed that Digimon doesn't have the emotion to save someone's life. She thought their data was just nothing but crush, kill, grow stronger, nothing simple nothing more.

"PIKA-BOO!!" before they knew it, Dokugumon was already flying above, diving toward the female heroes.

"ROSETTA STONE!!"

Suddenly, shooting stones struck upon Dokugumon, bringing the creature hard to the concrete floor.

"Huh? You again?" Rika muttered out loud as she watched Neferitimon dropping off Kari by the two.

"We'll talk later. Nefertimon, get her!"

Kicking off air, Nefertimon soared high above Dokugumon. She circled around the virus type as the little face on her mask charged energy.

"CAT'S EYE BEAM!!"

The optic laser scratched the concrete as it made its way to the spider Digimon. Dokugumon leaped back like a frog and hid in the trees. From its hiding place, Dokugumon shot its Poison Threads, which the feline angel Digimon flew away from. Nefertimon fired her Rosetta Stones like air bombers attacking above the forest. The stones exploded once inside the trees.

"Oh I feel sorry for those trees." Kari muttered.

"Pfft, nice of you to think about that at a time like this." Rika spat.

The Armor Digimon scanned the smoky trees for any activity. "I think I got her…no wait!"

From out of nowhere, Dokugumon flew out of the greens and landed on Nefertimon's back. As it did, it covered her in webbing, even her wings; which meant that the Armor Digimon lost control and skid through the trees. The cat flew out of the forest, covered in webbing and broken branches, and slid near the kids.

"Nefertimon!" Kari rushed up to her aid.

"Foolish of me to leave my guard….great now I have to cut my fur off."

"Now, where were we?" Dokugumon directed her focus back to Renamon and Rika as it soared out of the trees. "POISON THREAD!!"

The spider unleashed a wave of webbing, coating the entire field with it as they attached to trees, floors, even coating humans and Digimon in them. Renamon, however, slashed the web lines before they even struck her fur.

(A/N: Think of Venom's attack in Marvel vs. Capcom of him incasing the screen with webbing.)

"I wonder how real blood taste like." Trying this experiment, Dokugumon launched toward Rika. But then it saw Renamon standing in the way to protect her partner. "Move aside! VENOM BLAST!!"

With a burst of venom steam, the blast threw back Renamon and Rika, rolling a few feet away. With a few scratches and bruises, Rika pushed her chest up. However, her heart skipped when she saw her Digimon lying motionless ahead of her.

"Renamon!" She came up and lifted her burnt back off the floor. Renamon was injured beyond anything Rika ever seen her as. She can feel that Renamon was unable to go on; loss of energy. Renamon barely had enough to keep her eyes open.

"Y..You…protected me…how…why…I…?"

She paused her voice when she saw the fox's paw try to reach to her face.

"We…are…partners…that's all…you need to know." With that said, Renamon's head dropped like a light and she fell to unconsciousness.

Rain fell, rain dropped; rain rained all over upon the two. A white blue light shined over them within the darkness. Rika's spiky ponytail lost its stiffness and now it was moppy like a wet wig. It was as if the rain played along the rhythm of Rika's sadness.

No sound was heard, not even the sound of raindrops; only Rika's heartbeat.

Thump

She protected her at the cost of her own life.

Thump

How could she? How did she? How did she have the thought of doing so?

Thump

She couldn't have feelings…but…she saved her…could she care about her…?

Thump

Renamon…?

Thump

Renamon…?

THUMP

"…RENAMOOOOOON!!!!!!!"

Play Digimon: Brave Heart

Like a headlight of a helicopter, an intense light shined from the trees, blinding all human and Digimon. Feeling this sudden energy urge, Renamon;s eyes shot wide open as new energy flow like a rising geyser. Her back hovered above the floor, bringing Rika's nerves to a shock.

"Renamon?"

Unknown to all that Rika's D-Arc glowed in the same light.

-

Digivolution

"RENAMON DIGIVOLVE TOOOO…!!"

Her body shifted an increase of a few feet. Her structure became more of a four-legged kind. From out of nowhere, a red and white bow, with bells on the ends, wrapped around her neck, blue flames flared on her ankles and the tails that spawned to about nine tails. Leaning her head straight, the logo of the Yin and Yang was embezzled on her forehead.

"KYUUBIMON!!!"

-

After smoke burst like a bomb, there stood in Renamon's place; Kyuubimon. Dokugumon bewildered back from the new Champion, Calumon flew away with an exhausted expression, and Kari and Nefertimon smiled at this miracle.

"Alright, a new Digimon!" Kari felt the need to try out her new mode on her D-3, given to her by Izzy.

-

Kyuubimon: Bewitching Beast Digimon. A bewitching beast dances within the spirited fire it summons. Calm and swift, it travels within the shadows

Type: Data

Stage: Champion

Attacks: Fox Tail Inferno, Dragon Wheel

-

"You…Digivolved!" after all her time and work, Rika's dream of her Digimon Digivolving has come true.

"Ha! So what? A larger snack for me! DIE NOW!! VENOM BLAST!!"

"In your dreams." After leaping away from the shot, her tails lift up with intense blue heat flaring on the tips. "FOX TAIL INFERNO!!!"

They catapulted blue spirit fireballs forward. Instead of flying straight, they flew around the area, lighting the webbed area on fire. Kari smiled at the beautiful fiery lights they gave. It was like she was inside neon lights; even one fire harmlessly perched on her palm like a gentle animal.

But as for Dokugumon, the fire meant pain and burning stings for it. The arachnid felt as if it was burning like a newspaper as it dropped off the burning webs and rolled around the dirt.

"Welcome to MY parlor, said the fox to the fire-bug."

"Pay back time!" the angel cat shouted, now freed from the webs, as she lift off to battle. "ROSETTA STONE!!"

Flaming stones rocketed toward the flared arachnid, but not while Kyubimon rushing past the stones and rolling like a ball.

"DRAGON WHEEL!!"

A large stream of blue flames, as the shape of a serpent dragon, flew in and engulfed the stones, which then flared brighter and stronger. With that, the flaming comet exploded on impact, burning the spider to ashes until it was nothing more than data flying to the sky.

End music

"Well played my friend." Nefertimon said before she de-Digivolved back to Gatomon. "That was cat-tastic! Hey maybe we should call that move the Dragon Stone. What do you think?"

Kyuubimon gave no word but just walked her way back to her Tamer.

"Hrmph…you're welcome."

Rika was still stunned about the whole thing. Everything she thought about Digimon just turned upside-down before her eyes. She grabbed on to Kyuubimon's cheeks, trying to grip a handle of the moment.

"How did you Digivolve? We downloaded all the data we obtained…but it didn't work…how..?"

"Data isn't what's needed, Rika." All eyes were now on Kari. "It was when you shown how much you cared for Renamon. It was you that made her stronger."

Gatomon nodded in agreement. "Yeah. How else did we Digivolved if we can't absorb data?"

How could what she'd taught herself be thrown away at this fact? If it is fact. There was just no way that could be true; no way. But…her Digimon saved her…she saved her….it doesn't make sense.

A beeping noise came from Kari's D-Terminal she pulled out.

Hey Kari, it's raining. We're flying home on Imperialdramon. Stay where you are, we'll be there under a few seconds.

TK

"Perfect timing; I'm soaked."

"Yeah, and a wet feline fur is no laughing matter."

Kari then looked at the young Tamer. "Need a lift?"

So that her friends can nag about Digimon being not just data? No way. "I got my own ride."

A blue light shot on the DigiDestined and her Digimon, like an alien movie. "Okay then. See ya around."

"Oh…don't tell anyone about this, got it?"

The teen only smiled with a chuckle. "You have my word." With that, Kari and Gatomon flew up toward the dark sky.

"To infinity and beyond!"

"Gatomon!"

"Sorry, I couldn't resist."

Rika followed with her eyes at Kari's destination, which was a large creature hovering high above the forest before taking off like a light, leaving a thundering streak in the night.

"You gotta be kidding me…Kyuubimon?"

"Yes, Rika?

"…Don't tell anyone about this, too."

If she could see, she would find the vulpine smile. "You have my word."

Tokyo: 7:00 AM…

Once again we say hi to the mighty sun of life, rising over the Mt. Fuji that towers all of Tokyo. This is probably why they call this country the land of the rising sun, unless you people tell me the real reason.

But a dark aura flows around the fare city; a dark aura of digital life.

"Did you catch that energy fluctuation?"

"I'm already searching for the source."

No soul of earth can feel it, not even those who praise to the mighty god himself. But whatever is drawing around the cold air, the advanced technology that no citizen of Japan ever knew does feel it. That equipment is run by two females in radiation suits who have just discovered something far beyond any Digimon they ever covered.

"What do you think is going on in this area? It sure has some strange high readings."

"I think something big is going down there. If these readings are correct, then we're gonna get a level of bio-emergence unlike anything we ever seen before."

-

-

Nonaka residence: 6:58 AM

The golden rays of the sun blankets the Japanese home of the Nonakas; however the lively rays does nothing to the soul of the young Tamer, Rika Nonaka. Like the smog of a bio-emergence, it clouded the mind of her head as she looked over at a sleeping evolved form of Renamon, Kyubimon.

Why would she risk herself to save me? Can data really have feelings?

She recalled the event that happened last night. She must have replayed it like about a thousand times, and she still doesn't get why or how Renamon would risk herself for her life. From the start of being a Tamer, Rika believed that Digimon are just lifeless data, nothing more, but after the battle with Dokugumon, now she's so confused.

I never thought this would be so complicated.

West Shinjuku Park: 7:05 AM

"Morning, Guilmon!"

The fresh Tamer, Takato Matsuki, rushed up the stairs to the concrete home of his homemade Digimon, Guilmon; so eager to see his cheerful Digimon shine his innocent face.

"Morning." He responds, showing himself from the shadows of the shaft. "Guess what…last night while I was sleeping, it felt like I disappeared and went someplace else."

"You didn't break out again, did you?"

"Oh I get it; you must have had a dream."

Soon the two took a stroll outside the park. Guilmon as you can see was still confused of what happened last night.

"A dream? You mean like when I think of snacks?"

"No. It's like going to your world inside your head."

"Do you dream?"

"Everyone does, but…"

"Is your dreamworld boring as mine; all bright and white and empty?"

"Mine's full of stuff; that's how I thought of you."

"I must have the most boring one ever! Can Guilmon paint dreamworld blue?"

The boy chuckled at his Digimon's cute thoughts. "It's weird though; I never heard anyone talking about a Digimon dreaming. Maybe I can ask the DigiDestineds about…"

Like an arrow dashing by without warning, Half of Guilmon's body suddenly was fazing from existents.

"What's wrong, Takatomon? Why's your face all funny?"

"Your legs…" Takato quickly pulled Guilmon away from the area. He sighed in relief when he noticed that Guilmon was back to normal now.

"What's a matter? Did I do something wrong?"

His worried Tamer did not answer. His frightened eyes could not help but stare at the red dragon, like he was expecting that unexplained event.

Takato command Guilmon back to his shaft before running to school. But whatever almost happened to Guilmon, Takato feared of that moment. He needed an answer to how or what caused that. He could go to the DigiDestined, but their college is almost on the other side of town and he has to go to school. So who else could he go to?

"Wait; start at the beginning."

Why it's none other than boy-genius Jenrya Lee Wong, or Henry for our American audience.

"Okay we were just walking, and then…I don't know, its like half of him was there, and the other half was starting to get rubbed off by an eraser!"

"Well Digimon aren't of this world. Maybe some of them can't last long here and they get pulled back into their world or something like that. Or maybe our world eliminates them like the body gets rid of a virus."

Takato gripped his feet to the floor. Why would the world try to take his Digimon away from him?

"Wait, but what about the DigiDestined? They had their Digimon for years. How come they can keep them?"

"Well you heard their story. They met them in the Digital World. Maybe if a Digimon accompanies a human long enough in their own environment, they gather enough resources to survive in the real world. You just met Guilmon in the living world."

"B-but Guilmon just got here. I don't want him to leave. He just can't go back to the other side."

Terriermon picked a rotten time to smile at the worried Tamer. "Momentai. The world I'm from; the world you're from, they're really both the same if you think about it."

Takato narrowed his eyes. "Yeah…um, thanks, professor, but I want him here."

"That may not be possible, Takato."

"Huh? What are you trying to say, Henry? Do you know something? Tell me."

Henry felt as much grief as he can hold, but never the less, he always tries to be realistic. "I just know that nothing can last forever, Takato; Nothing…. I'm sorry."

As for Takato, he's the type who would just ignore the facts of life and reality. Having Guilmon was something to behold for all your life, but now…he just can't abandon Takato; not when he just got attached to the little dragon.

"Well this can, and it will!"

Henry felt sorry for Takato as he watched him run off. But what could he do? You can't fight nature.

Odaiba High: 9:04 AM

First period has ended for the building of Odaiba High. In this time of day, the students travel around, run around the halls to their next class. At this second, we find Daisuke Motimiya digging through his locker.

"Davis?" That is until Kari's voice made his head bump on his locker.

"Ow…!"

"Oh sorry, Davis."

He smiled at his friend while tending the bump on his head. "No prob, Kari. So what's up?"

"Well…I just need to ask you something."

"Ask me what?"

Inhaling was needed for Kari before starting. "You know, you've been very…strange for the past months…and…sigh, is there something wrong going on with you?"

Davis nervously played with his hair. "Uh…nothing's wrong, Kari. What makes you think there is?"

"Look, you barely act like yourself, except when the entire gang meets up, and what surprised me more, you called TK a co-leader!"

"Uh…heh, heh…what do you know? I guess that's growing up."

"Come on, Davis. You can tell me. I'm your friend."

Right as Davis look like he had something caught in his throat, the bell rang. "Uh, Kari, I gotta motor. We'll talk later!"

"Davis!" with that, Davis ran off to class. I'm not sure what's wrong with you…but that look in your eyes…it looked familiar.

Shinjuku: 9:00 AM

RIIIING!

The sound of the globe's faithful cell phone sounded for a man playing with a lighter, walking under a freeway.

"This has better be important."

"Sir, we're getting some strange readings and one of the researchers needs you to explain something to him." A woman said through the phone.

"sigh I don't know why I bother explaining things. None of these imbeciles understand what I say anyways."

"So…what should I tell him?"

"That he's a foolish retard? sigh I'll be there shortly." And hang up he did.

Another lecture from Ms. Asagi was away on this Tuesday morning, and the students eagerly listens to her wisdom…well most of them. However, Takato was so busy worried about what happened to Guilmon.

What'll I do when Henry's right and Guilmon completely disappears?

He only knew Guilmon for at least five days. Five days. That's not even enough to get fully acquainted.

"He can't leave me…maybe if he Digivolved he'll have enough strength to fight what's erasing him."

"Digivolve?" is what someone like Jeri tried to say. Takato felt his face heat up in embarrassment as he watched her puppet bark at him.

Great, now Jeri thinks I'm crazy; and she's crazier than Calumon.

"Well kids, the city want me to inform you about the tunnel that is used for floods, but it seems like a useless trivia to me…"

Takato looked up at the blackboard, where his teacher drew a map of the flood tunnel, the very same place where Guilmon almost disappeared near.

"I mean, everyone knows about the tunnel, right?"

I don't.

The every lush and quite land of East Shinjuku College; well if you count on the sounds of roaming cars frantically beeping their horns, but it is faint, anyways; The original Gogglehead, Taichi Kamiya rest under a shaded tree, alone in the campus, watching the spring white spores flying across the winds.

"Hey Tai."

But then Tai's sort-of best friend, Yamato Ishida, walks up to the grounded pre-adult.

"What's up, Matt-o?"

"Eh nothing much, except with Jun giving me the evil eye."

"Really? Man, what's up with that girl?"

"I don't know. She gets weirder every year, I tell ya."

Tai chuckled away from Matt's sight before looking back up at the blue sky. "Hey, you ever met those Tamers, Matt?"

"Nah. I heard about them, but never met them. I also heard that the girl is a screw-loose."

Tai's face frowned a bit after that. "Yeah…"

The blonde noticed that slight pained voice from Tai's mouth. "Was it something I said?"

"It's nothing…just…memories, that's all."

"Never mind then. Anyway I better get back. Gabumon is probably waiting for me to watch a movie with him. Maybe you should too with Agumon before he clears your fridge again."

"pfft I need to do something about his appetite, or I'll start calling him that nickname I gave him a while back that he doesn't like."

"Oh yeah, you're the only one in the group who ever gave their Digimon a name." Matt turned to leave, but before that. "What was it again?"

Tai lay back with a smile. "…Heh….Zeromaru."

"You've been playing too many Megaman X games."

"It wasn't from Megaman!"

"Ah poor Guilmon must be bored out of his mind!"

The noble Takato rushed up the stair through the remote area where Guilmon's hideout lies alone. Not only Takato was worried that Guilmon might get erased again, but he'll also break out due to boredom.

"Come on, just one game of tag, please?"

Ah, but how could he be bored with the ever playful and dangerous Digimon, Calumon?

Calumon…? Great. The Tamer entered the den. "Hey Calumon, causing trouble?"

"Mmm…nope, just causing fun. But since you're here, I'm gonna go see if I can find that crowd of dirty bird Digimon I saw."

Takato arched a brow. "Dirty bird Digimon?"

"Yeah…when they sit on those gray boring Digimon that don't move, they drop all this white stuff on it."

Well that upset his throat. Takato can easily translate that with just three words. Pigeons…statue…poop.

"Why leave?" asked Guilmon. "Takatomon is here, so we can play, now."

"Well, he's always so tense. And it looks like he wants to not have fun."

"What…? Takatomon, tell him he's wrong."

The boy rubbed his hair. "Well…actually we gotta find out why Guilmon was disappearing."

"See what I mean?" asked Calumon before he bounced out of the den. "He's not very fun."

"I can be fun! What about that Digi-Wrestling game?"

"Okay…whatever you say. See ya, Guilmon!" with that, the little white puff soared towards the sky.

Takato grimaced. I am fun…it's just that humans aren't always for fun and games…though I wish that wasn't true… "-sigh-…come on, boy. We gotta go see Tai."

"Yay! I get to play with Agumon and Tentomon!"

The boy sighed again. It's amazing that Guilmon doesn't seem to remember disappearing. Isn't he aware that he might go away, and Takato will never see him again? "I just hope the subway people won't give us a hard time, cause that costume lie better work."

-

"I'm only gonna go through this one more time, so do try to pay attention. The network of interlink electronic devices around the world; the Internet, the stock markets and even wireless communications has created a whole new plane of existents; a digital plane."

We find in a dark scientific center, with advanced technology at work. The blonde shaded man is having a short meeting with another man in a suit.

"This system, Hypnos, monitors that world and records every exchange of information across it; looking for anything out of the ordinary; Simple enough for you?"

The other man looked above where the long haired woman was still at work at the tower computers. "Do you keep track of personal data, like of what happened twelve to eight years ago or the large one that almost bio-emerged out of the Shibuya subways last year?"

(A/N: Last episode of Digimon Frontier)

"How else can we monitor criminal activity without pervious information to go by?"

"If any of the general public found out about this, we'll be treated like criminals. The public still believes that these beings are long forever banished since about four years ago when they ran amuck around the globe. I'm sure you remember the large digital-field that coated Odaiba, or the Rainbow Bridge attack. Make sure anything like that will never occur."

"Gee that never accrued to me. Listen you have no need to worry. We got everything well under control."

"No you got nothing under control, Yamaki. You've shown yourself to be powerless to stop these anomalies. Find a way to prevent them from bio-emerging and find the ones that already come through, and then eliminate them."

-

East Shinjuku: 5:34 PM…

"I thought we never get out of there, Guilmon."

"Me too. Those girl kept pinching me on the cheek so hard. I can still feel it."

The duo arrived at the greens of the DigiDestineds' college, trailing towards a small building where lots of pre-adults exited and entered; the dorms. Entering through some glass doors, Takato approached the security booth.

"Hi, uh…I need to see someone. Can I go through?"

The old man looked at a clipboard. "Sorry. You need clearance from the students living here."

"Look, his name is Tai. Can you call him and tell him that a Takato Matsuki is looking for him?" Pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket, Takato handed it to him. "Look, here's the room number and the phone."

While studying it, the guard pressed some buttons on something Takato couldn't see over the counter. "Sorry, kid. No one's there. He's probably at class."

"Aw man…" Pulling out a notepad, Takato wrote something and handed the page to the man. "Can you please give it to him if he walks by? He has really big hair."

The guard arched a brow. It seems that he defiantly knew who he was talking about. After all, Takato doesn't see anyone with large hair as the DigiDestined.

"Alright,"

-

They say that if he had problems, he can always come to them. But how can that be possible if they're busy? Well, Takato can't comb all the buildings of the campus and just barge in their class. He probably need some ID to get in, anyways. But who knows how long it'll take for them to finish? Time may be running out for Guilmon, so the Tamer needs some answers.

Let's see…if he remembers, the younger DigiDestined lives too far away, and the older ones are here in college, but hard to make contact. And the only ones he knows who to see or where they live is Tai and Izzy, but they're not home. He asked Henry, but he didn't have the answers for Takato. And Calumon…? What could he tell him, how to play hide-n-go-seek like a pro?

"Now who can I ask?"

There was one person he didn't ask…but to do that, he had to sacrifice his living soul or at least his good health.

"No way! Uh-uh! I plan to live a long life! There's no way I'm gonna do it!"

-

"Ow! Stop being so grabby! Takatomon, help!"

A group of girls crowed around the red dragon, petting and pinching his cheeks. But that didn't matter for Takato right now; he's too busy trying to find information on where a-certain-someone-who-he-never-thought-he-looked-for is, by talking to a boy with blue hair, a green shirt over a dark red sweatshirt, brown kaki pants and green shoes.

"Let's see…she wears her hair…like this…." Takato laid his hands on the top of his head to make like a ponytail.

"Yeah, I think I seen her somewhere over in the alleys."

"Really? Are you sure that?"

"Kouchi!" about a couple of meters, a boy that seemed to wear a blue bandana on his head called for the blue haired boy.

"Sorry, I gotta go." He said to Takato, running off to his friend. "Good luck trying to find your girlfriend!"

"My WHA?!!"

-

Takato needed some answers on Guilmon's problem. He tried the DigiDestineds, but all of them were at class, and he didn't want to disturb them. He would try Henry, but he already talked to him, and he wasn't much help.

So who could he ask that knew a lot about real live Digimon, even if it meant his health for asking?

"This must be where Rika lives so keep your eyes peeled." Takato warned to his

Digimon as they ventured through the alleys of the neighborhood houses.

But now for some reason, Guilmon ran off in a dark alley.

"Guilmon, what's wrong? Man, why do I always end up chasing him?" Takato ran after the running dino after every corner, after every corner till he stopped, glaring at something in an alley.

"Guilmon, what's-?" the boy then gasped when he spotted the last thing he needed. "Renamon!"

"Who were you expecting, boys; your mommies?"

"Very funny!"

"I don't think I have a mommy, do I? Hey, Takatomon is my mommy, right?"

"Aw jeez, don't call me that."

Renamon chuckled under her breath. "Why not? You make a better mother than a Tamer, the way you always baby your Digimon. Now are we going to fight or are we gonna flap our gums off?"

"Why do you wanna pound Guilmon all the time? It doesn't make any sense."

"It would if you weren't such a coward." A new voice said which happens to be Rika, standing behind the boys. "-sigh-…as if I haven't had enough stalkers in my life. Now what do you find so fascinating about following me, Gogglehead?"

"I never followed you before. You stalked me, like back in the garage!"

"You're following me now, Goggles."

"I'm not following you! I'm actually looking for you, 'cause I need to ask you something."

"That actually counts as following, genius. And if it's about a date, I don't date, period."

No words was said, only the red and violet eyes of Takato and Rika was played, glaring fire at one another. Guilmon could already feel the tension thrown off from the two.

"Um…are you gonna fight?" he asked.

"Me…and her? Ack, she's a girl…and she kick my butt."

A satisfied smile was played upon Rika's face. "Surrendering before the fight even started…how pathetic, Goggles."

Takato kept his patients cool from her rude comment. "Look…maybe the two of us got on the wrong foot. I'm Takato and you're Rika, right?"

"Yeah, so what? What, you're writing a book about me, or are you in love?"

"Aw jeez!" He had a feeling that he isn't gonna get any answers, or get anywhere with her.

East Shinjuku College: 6:26 PM…

Sora left her room, after stocking food in her kitchen. She was all alone in the small apartment, so she decided to see what her boyfriend was doing. Normally her roommate, Mimi, would probably be either shopping or bothering her boyfriend, Izzy, but that's not important. Sora then made way through a few door on the hall, till she came up to Tai's door.

She knocked first before she slowly entered. The double dorm room seemed a little too quite, even for Tai's case. If Sora knew the idiot better, he would spend more time on the TV rather than doing his work; at least he had more work-ethic when he was in his goth stage, when Sora went out with Matt. But she shuddered of the consequences at that event; Tai was a mess back then. Sora always preyed to the heavens that it will never happen again.

"Tai… Tai?"

She motioned to his room, but then he heard noises inside of Izzy's; noises she easily identified as Tai's.

Without a thought, she opened the door. "Tai, what are you doing in Izzy's…TAICHI KAMIYA!!!!!!"

"GAH!!!"

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS UNDER MY TRUST!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!!!"

"W..w-w-wait, Sora! I can explain!"

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU, STOP USING IZZY'S COMPUTER!!?"

His entire body froze under Sora's wrath, right on the chair. "Y-yeah, I know I use his computer without his permission, but his internet link is faster than mine."

Like a bossy wife, Sora pulled her boyfriend by his ear. "The last time you used his computer, you broke his printer and got ME involved! I had to work OVERTIME at mom's flower shop to help you pay for it!"

"OWOWOWO OUCH!! But I need it to find Takato!"

This broke Sora from her angry state. "Takato? Why?"

Tai relaxed after Sora released his poor ear. "Thanks…I got a message from Takato saying that something is wrong with Guilmon. He said that he seems to be erasing."

"Erasing? Digimon don't get erased for no reason."

"I know, but now I can't find him. I'm trying to open up Izzy's radar thing, but…I can't find the stupid radar thing!" he then shook the monitor like a madman.

"Well leave it alone before you end up paying for his broken computer."

"It looks fine to me."

"It won't be around you; I know how you are with computers. Come on; let's just go over to Takato's house since we don't have his number." Sora pulled Tai up from the chair, just when Agumon and Biyomon came in with soda cans.

"Sora, you want Pepsi or Sunkist?"

"Hey Tai, how about a nice Hawaiian Punch?"

"I ain't falling for that again, Agumon…sigh I knew I should've gotten Takato a D-Terminal."

Nonaka residence: 6:48 PM

She couldn't believe she did this. She couldn't dream of her performing this for somebody. Oh what possessed her for doing this? Why in the hottest of all Hell did she invite Takato to her house? That's right, Rika with Takato…in her house! Well, at least in her backyard…but still…IN HER HOUSE!! Ah, forget it; y'all seen this episode. You're probably just skipping through all this, just to find something you never seen in the original.

(Terra: ANTHONY!!!)

Uh…we now return back with our heroes Takato and Rika.

"I admit, I saw you in a dream a while back, and that's what's been really bugging me cause I don't know what it means. But…don't get the wrong idea. I'm not following you around because of that; I just have some question about Digimon, okay?"

"Alright, kid. Don't get your underwear all bunched up."

"What do you mean kid? We're the same age."

"I'm calling you kid cause you don't know anything about anything. You show up talking about seeing me in a dream; you know how weird that is?"

"I…I'm sorry. I just thought…well maybe we can work together...or at least be friends…or above the whole rival thing."

"We can't."

"…Well why not?"

"Rika? You home?"

Takato nearly jumped off his shoes after a new voice startled him. Renamon quickly grabbed Guilmon and hid behind a corner. Behind the sliding doors stood a woman nearly around her senior age.

"Oh hi! Sorry, I'm not used to Rika bringing boys home. What's you name?"

"Uh…Takato?"

"He's not going to be here long, grandma…you're not."

"Why don't I make some snack for the two of you? I can pop some cookies in the oven. How you like em, Takato?"

"Thanks…maybe soft chocolate chip, please?"

"That's okay, grandma, he's not staying…you're not!"

"Aw nuts."

"Well bye…hope you come and see us again."

"Sure!" Takato chirped happily, much to his surprise.

"You're not." Rika muttered him as her grandmother left them alone.

"LET GO!!!" the sound of Guilmon being shoved hard to the dirt was heard by the two kids.

Takato wiped the smirk off his face, though he had no idea what brought it the first place. He returned back to 'lovable' Rika.

"Um…ahem…anyway, what I wanted to ask you is wither or not Digimon turn back into data, I mean do they go back to their world?"

"Of course."

"Not like when you defeated those Vilemon and Allomon, I mean…for no good reason?"

"Digimon are just data anyway…so probably. They say toys never last."

Just what he was afraid to hear, but it seems that even Rika doesn't know what happens. She even thinks of Digimon as toys?! "You think that they're just…things? Do you even believe what you say?"

No sight of guilt of worry or anything. She just doesn't give crap is what her face says. But when she glanced at Renamon…it gave a different sign; something with a little warmth and guilt.

-

"Stop pushing!"

"Move faster then."

The skies grew dark, and Rika's temper grew thinner. She led Takato to the door, with Renamon shoving Guilmon out, once again.

"Well, thanks anywise, Rika. I'll figure out how to work my problem on my own."

"Like you should've done in the first place?"

"Well…since you're the so-called expert on Digimon, you were the only one to turn to."

"Only one?" the girl stepped forward, making the boy cringe. "If you say that, then what happened to your retired clowns?"

"Um…the DigiDestined? Well, they're busy people…you know, college, high school…and stuff. Plus, I'm not really allowed to go so far towards the east side of town. My mom seems to have some kind of radar in her head. Heh, heh…"

"And I thought you couldn't get anymore…wait a minute, you're WAY too far east. How come you took a risk to come here? "

Good point…guess he was desperate…like he's gonna tell her that. "Well…I already told you…besides, it's not everyday you get to meet your Dream Girl; heh, sorry, I just couldn't resist."

"Ugh! Just get out."

Guilmon waved over to the yellow fox. "Renamon…bye, bye!" only for her to ignore him.

Well so much for that idea. Takato even had to risk his short life for asking the raging demon that is Rika…but then again, the male does have a small feeling that Rika isn't really like this on the inside. He doesn't know why he feels this or why he had that dream that time. Maybe it was just to awaken his destiny, or something…or maybe-

"Hey!"

Takato respond to Rika's call, a few feet away from the front door. "Yeah?"

"You mention that dream again, and I swear I'll send you to Dreamland FOR GOOD!" with that, Rika left inside; slamming the door loud and hard.

"Man…she can't take a joke."

Hypnos HQ: 7:46 PM

Deep inside the double skyscrapers (Whatever that building is called.) lies the mysterious government team that deals with any abnormal activity; the Hypnos. But as of right now, the team experiences a lack of employees; meaning that most of the crew went home for the night. All except the raven haired woman named Riley.

"Got another reading." She warned her boss down the floor.

Yamaki studied the reading on the large blue radar ceiling. "For once it's not a wild one. How lucky,"

The red signal grew larger; not being the target mode it usually is as a Digimon. "This is what I was talking about; I never seen data like this. It doesn't match to the readings of an average wild one…but it does carry a huge amount of data that's unable to be comprehended."

"Send a tracer."

"Already on it."

The tracer on the screen tread towards the large red reading, but it then spread white flow, engulfing the tracer.

"What…?"

The blonde man tensed the muscles on his face when the surprise came upon him.

"The tracer was absorbed….what is going on here?"

-

"That Rika is a barrel of laughs, huh?"

"What about Renamon? Her idea of fun is to punch me in the funny bone."

Fortunately the arts of laughter was not enough to erase the worries Takato felt in his chest as he and Guilmon walked down the crust of a park. Asking help from the queen of Digimon proved to be a failure; even her knowledge had no key to Guilmon's problem.

"Man, I was hoping Rika had more answers for me; something that'll make this problem go away…sigh…maybe tomorrow I'll ask Tai, Izzy or the other DigiDestined...if they're not busy."

Sorrow is what the baby dragon felt and read within the Tamer's face; course Guilmon barely knew the meaning of sadness, other than the lack of food.

"Ever since that Rainbow Bridge thing, I've always love Digimon, and I always thought it would be cool to have a real one of my very own…then like magic there you appeared and everything was great…but now I'm not even sure you're even gonna stay with me anymore." Takato paused for air as a few cars passed by.

"I guess I thought if I learned more about Digimon, I'd be able to stop whatever is trying to erasing you….and….I'm scared Guilmon."

Now the unfamiliar look he never seen in his Tamer became worse. The red dragon couldn't point what he felt…perhaps this is sadness. But why is he feeling this? He had his peanut butter bread snack this afternoon.

"You know what; Calumon told me that being scared is silly. It's kind of like ice-skating on sausages."

Well at least Guilmon still looked onto the bright side of things, Takato thought. Course he probably doesn't understand the whole concept of his problem.

"I guess you're right, Guilmon, but I just wanna spend as much time with you as possible."

Spending time together. That means more fun with him and Takatomon. "YEA! Hey let's do something really fun tomorrow. We can play tag till we drop and eat till we can't move!"

But then, Guilmon walked right into an area that forced him to faze out again. Takato froze in fear upon the event that happened hours ago.

"It's happening again!"

This time, unlike this morning, Guilmon noticed and the sensation. "I feel weird! I must be dreaming again, right?"

"Guilmon?"

With every car passing by, the field covered more of his body, at least under his head.

"Everything's fading."

A car passes by and Guilmon gets worse. And every second, a tear crawls down Takato's cheek.

"I think I'm…going away."

"No Guilmon!" Takato grabs on to Guilmon tightly, hoping he can keep him from vanishing. "Please hold on! I just got used to having you around! I can't imagine life without you anymore. You can't go!"

"I'll…do my best to stay here."

Guilmon's body was fading like static, and Takato's barely held on as the Digimon lost solidness. Finally, Takato dropped through his body and landed on his knees.

He looked back to see Guilmon finally dissolving into data. He froze at the shock of this terrible sight. His friend, whom he met for the past five days, was fading away from existents.

"Guilmon…don't leave me!" the feeling became to a boiling point as the last bit of data flew away. His eyes were on a verge of tears.

"GUILMON!!!!!"

-

"GUILMON!!!!!!"

-

-

"GUILMOOOOOOOON!!!!!!"

-

"What was that?"

Their ears perked up when hearing a fainted scream that echoed across the city skies.

"That sound like Takato."

The goggled adult grimed over his worry. "It is. Sounds like something bad happened to Guilmon! We're too late."

Sorrow spread like a virus in Sora's heart as she gripped tightly on Biyomon's wing. "No…poor Takato."

Just then, Tai picked up his cell-phone when it ranged. "Hello?"

"Tai, I picked a signal around at the east from you."

"A Digimon, Izzster?"

"Far from it. Actually I don't what it is, but it's not a Digimon. The destination is in the tunnels from you."

"We're on it." With that, Tai hanged up.

"But what about Takato?" Sora asked.

"His voice sound like it came from where we're heading, and I have a feeling that this thing Izzy found has something to do with Guilmon."

-

It felt like forever since Takato grieved on his knees. He must have played the time he first met Guilmon over and over again for the fiftieth time. They only been friends for five days and already Guilmon left Takato.

"He's gone…he's really gone…I can't believe it…" he finally pulled up from the dirty sidewalk. "It's like he was never here…and there's nothing I can do."

Why did he have to go? What is it has he done that made him deserve this torture? Maybe he would've been like Rika…He could've prevented this…he just wasn't trying hard enough….

There goes that annoying alarm sound…stop bothering; he didn't want to hear…wait…Takato pulled out his red D-Arc from his shirt to find it in compass mode.

"That's Guilmon's signal…" it was like he can see a small light of hope. He's alive….there's still a way to save him…but where...? "The tunnel…"

Wong residence: 8:27 PM…

"Hello….hello….hello?"

"Stop saying hello and get Henry…uh…please?"

"It's some angwy kid…fow Hendwy!" Susie shouted from talking to Takato on the intercom.

"I'm not angry!"

-

-

Matsuki residence: 8:23 PM…

The small time bread store in the western side of Shinjuku; closed. We find Takato's average parents, Takahiro and Mie Matsuki, having their daily dinner…without Takato. The chair he usually sits for dinner…empty. The status of his family…worried for the child.

"I hope Takato's alright. He's never been out this late before, has he?" Takahiro asked his wife as he tapped his dinner.

"Oh we were the same way before when we were kids; always running around, playing, loosing track of time."

"I vaguely remembered. That was the time when dinosaurs died out, has it?"

"Oh stop, we're not that old."

"I hope he's okay though."

"I'm sure he is. I can be harsh on him from time to time, but I do trust his judgment."

"Yeah."

"But since he's not home, let's eat the ice cream we saved for desert and tell him it melted."

"Um….I already ate it."

Nonaka residence: 8:45 PM…

"So I said 'As if…..don't go there…-chuckle-."

Rika thought her grandmother was going crazy; her saying cliché snobby lines. She walked in the living room, finding her grandmother on the computer.

"Granny chat? You're not that old."

"Thanks…you know your mother could get you a computer if you ask her."

"Computers are boring."

"Oh…so what about that nice boy that was here? He-"

"Forget him. He's not a friend; just someone with a stupid question, that's all."

"Well you said that awfully fast."

Sure, Rika never can get along with her mother, but her grandmother was the only person in the family she usually relates to and communicates…kind of.

'Knock, knock' is what was heard by their ears.

"Oh that must be your mother now. Can you get the door, dear?"

Rika snorted under her breath. "Fine."

Rika walked across the large front yard, trying to think of ways to endure her mother's brags about her work. It's always about her work for her when she even steps foot in the house.

"Oh great." She muttered after opening the door. She wasn't prepared for this; having Takato and Henry here. "Stay here while I get my chainsaw for you."

"Uh…I don't need a chainsaw, but now that you mention it…"

"I mean to slice you in half, Gogglehead!" she shouted.

"Oh, since you put it that way,"

-

Hypnos HQ: 8:55 PM…

"My little Yuggoth Program should disinfect the area."

Yamaki connected his terminal to the main computers in the lab. Only he and Riley were at work, dealing with the new reading they discovered a while ago. Fortunately Riley was a little worried; the tracers were not powerful enough to handle this activity, and now her boss was already tempted to try out a powerful vaccine; capable enough to destroy a virus as large as Manhattan. The problem with it the Yuggoth is that it's too unstable and could destroy the net.

"Shouldn't we study the energy reading, sir?" she asked, hoping to talk him out of this risking plan. "I mean, this is-"

"Don't get soft on me now, Riley. This little thing, or whatever it is, has caused me more grief for me and my career than its worth; and it's about to become nothing more than an unpleasant memory."

"But sir, unapproved programs are strictly forbidden."

"Forbidden? Those fools upstairs can't even begin to understand this technology, let alone the idea that there's a whole digital world out there that caused use misery for the past eight years. Who do they think they are to forbid me anything? Now start up the program!"

It was best to drop it for now, even though they may get arrested for network damaging. But the wrath of Yamaki is not worth starting, nor losing her job.

"…Yes sir." She muttered as the program began its upload.

City Flood Tunnels: 9:14 PM

"This is it, guys. This is where Guilmon disappeared to."

Takato led the team over to the area where Guilmon vanished. He figured that in order to rescue Guilmon, he can't do it alone. He tried the DigiDestined, but they still weren't home, plus he only had Izzy's number. So it was either Henry and Rika or none.

"What? I thought you meant that you lost Guilmon?"

"I meant as in he vanished like light, Rika. And you called me an irresponsible Tamer?"

"Well the fact is that you are."

"And I suppose your ways of taming is the ideal steps to be a responsible,"

"Will you guys just can it?" Henry shouted. "We got trouble; there're some people over there."

The group spotted two dark figures hanging by the tunnels. "Aw shoot! We can't go in there, if they're the cops or something! Now what are we gonna do?" Takato asked out loud.

"You can start by telling us what's going on."

The kids gasped by the voices coming from those people. However, another figure appeared behind their legs, waving their claws and wings.

"Hey, it's Tai and Sora!" Takato replied before running up with Henry.

Rika rolled her eyes as she slowly followed them. "Ugh. Great; more DigiDestined."

Takato came up to the goggled leader, keeping his worries above. "I've been trying to get a hold of you! Guilmon's in trouble!"

"We're so sorry, Takato." Sora apologized as she bowed. "College is sometimes a busy life."

"You again? I still have an axe to grind with you and your pet dino, hair-boy!" Rika snorted as he walked up to Tai. There was another person she never seen before; A girl with short red hair, a yellow blouse over a pink top, a blue skirt and white sneakers. In addition, she wore a blue dirty helmet.

Tai spoke up. "Later, kid… Izzy told us about the tunnels being homed by something that's affecting the-"

"Rika!"

All eyes turned to the vulpine Digimon as her legs were effected the same way as Guilmon.

"She's disappearing too! It's just like Guilmon!" Takato shouted, recalling back to that horrible experience.

"Terriermon." Henry command as the dog Digimon hopped on the rock wall.

"Check it out!" Terriermon calmly held up his ear by the field, also being affected.

"It's happening to Terriermon!"

"We do have eyes, Gogglehead!"

Agumon approached the Tamers. "That's what we were trying to tell you. Something in there is doing that to us Digimon; which means we're no help with you guys now."

"Right. That means you Digimon better leave before you start disappearing." Tai warned, mostly looking at Renamon.

Renamon looked toward her Tamer. "Rika?"

"It's okay; you can go."

With that, the vulpine vanished away.

"I suppose you want me to go too, huh, hair-leader? Fine." Terriermon shrugged, walking away with Agumon and Biyomon. "Poker, guys?"

One thing's for sure, Rika hates it when someone takes control of her property, no matter who they are.

"Don't order my Digimon around Goggle-hair; She's mine!"

Sora grimed as she stepped forward at the child. "He's just watching out for the Digimon's safety."

"Why bother, helmet girl? Digimon are just data. Who cares if they disappear?"

"BE QUITE!!!!" everyone startled when Takato unexpectedly shouted, mostly at Rika. "I don't care what you say, or what you think about what Digimon are…all I know that Guilmon is my friend…and I'll do whatever I can to save him…with or without you."

The girl bewildered from this unexpected act, but tried to remain strong until her power to strangle the boy charges to maximum. While that, Henry checked the readings on his D-Arc.

"I'm getting a signal. Defiantly his signal is in the tunnels."

"Alright, let's find Guilmon." Tai commanded.

Takato, Tai, Sora, and Henry marched over the gate to the tunnels, leaving Rika by her lonesome, even though she didn't care. Her phase of Digimon being data is held a grip of her.

"'Alright, let's find Guilmon' he says…baka." She checked her D-Arc just for the heck of it, but shrugged. "Waste of time."

-

"Done."

The program was finally installed; a program that could mean trouble for any wild one that crosses his path, and he'll test it on this new creature.

"I got to stake my objections one more time, sir. This program may cause wide-spread network damage."

"And I got to warn you one more time that you're walking on thin ice, Riley. Start the program before that ice breaks and you drown."

It's hopeless to talk him out of it, so it's best to just do what he says. "Yes sir." She muttered, typing the start up.

-

"Um…why don't they make tunnels that aren't dark and scary?" Takato muttered in his nervous faze, gazing fearfully in the dark tunnel.

"I have no idea. That would be nice that if they don't, huh?" Tai asked. "But then again, that'll cut out the fun."

But then a clanging sound was heard, making the boys jump. What if it's a Digimon? They don't have their Digimon with….

"What are you looking at?"

For some reason, Takato's lips grinned wide when he saw Rika coming inside with them from the stairs.

"HEY, Rika! You decided to come! THAT'S AWESOME!!!" but a cold stare from the girl gave him more chills than the tunnel. Takato quickly shook off his smile and failed to act cool. "Uh…well you know; whatever."

Sora though smiled slyly. "What made you change your mind?"

"A Tamer doesn't walk away from the face of danger."

Tai and Sora looked at each other, giving messages from their eyes.

"Yeah right." They muttered.

-

The gang probably walked through the tunnel for almost an hour, but they kept their pace as long as the signal remains warm. However one was getting impatient.

"How long is this stupid tunnel, anyway?"

"My teacher said that it goes all the way to the next town." Takato answered to Rika.

"That's so stupid."

"Yeah, so you say." Muttered Henry.

"Hey you agreed to join us, and that means you stay with us until we find Guilmon." Tai warned, keeping his focus straight.

"What right gives you to tell me what to do? Just because that you're the leader of your nerd-patrol, doesn't include Tamers in your group...except maybe these two clowns, in front of us."

Takato and Henry growled.

"Look, I'm not trying to cause trouble, but you did follow us. Anywise, what's the deal of you thinking Digimon are just data? Did your little video games give you that info?"

"It's none of your business, but it's logical. Computer use data, data have no minds of their own, therefore Digimon are just data; Nothing more, nothing less."

For some reason, Sora gasped at Tai, expecting Tai to react to that. But her face was right; Tai's looked in pain.

"Whatever….Neo."

"Neo?" Rika repeated. "Did your brain shut off? It's Rika!"

Takato looked back at the depressed leader. "Uh…who's Neo?"

Sora took the liberty to answer. "He was an old friend of Tai's way back before we even went to the Digital World. They were in different soccer teams, but…"

"Uh hate to bother but I think we found it!" Henry warned, pointing at a white energy zone that reached to the ceiling.

"What the hell is that?" Tai shouted.

-

(A/N: I know about Tai and Neo, for those of you who think I don't; he and Neo squared off in the giga-pet Digimon, and left in a draw. Neo gave a hissy fit after that and the rest is history. But since this timeline is when people never heard of Digimon before, I'll have to try a different twist.)

-

"I pinpointed the energy field, sir." Riley warned, keeping herself glued to the screen.

"Well done…prepare to delete the area."

-

"Guilmon must be inside of that thing; I know he is! GUILMON!!"

Rika snorted at his stupidity. "Don't be dumb. How could you possibly know that?"

"I don't know but I feel that he's in there!" Suddenly Takato's digivice was the first to fire a white beam before the rest did. One by one, the DigiDestined and Tamers grabbed their energized devices. "What's happening?"

Tai studied his old digivice. "Digivices connects use to our Digimon. Everyone aim yours at the zone!"

Responding, the group led the beams to the field. The beams dug through the wiggling walls, creating a blue opening.

"It's creating a hole." Henry stated, but before anyone made comment, Takato rushed straight in portal.

"GUILMON!!!"

"That stupid little piece of…" Rika snapped on her shades as she ran after the goggled Tamer.

"Well what do you know; he must take after you." Sora grinned at her boyfriend as she ran after the Tamers.

"Hey, he's not my kid!"

From the other side, the kids floated around a white, bottomless zone, like objects in water. They twist, turned, even flew upside down and screamed like being on a roller coaster.

"I wonder if this was the place Davis and the others went to when fighting MaloMyotismon." Tai muttered to himself, recalling to that time four years ago.

"How come everyone has shades and goggles and I don't?"

"Maybe cause you don't bother to buy some, hun. It pays owning goggles, babe."

"Stupid Tai."

Takato stopped himself to remove his goggles from his eyes. "I think I see him!" Takato swam downward toward the destination. "Cool, this is how I fly in my dreams!"

For some reason, Rika's face grew pink. "You and your dreams."

"There he is!" Takato swam toward the sleeping dragon caught in strange webbing. "Guilmon, wake up!"

His golden eyes slowly slid open. "Right now? Five minutes."

Takato giggled in relief that he's alive. "Don't worry, boy. I'll get you out of this…somehow."

"Guys!" Takato beamed over to Sora who pointed at something far back. "Look!"

Behind them, the entire scenery was being wiped out like something sucking it up in a vacuum. Rika spotted the webbing eating away, heading toward Guilmon.

"It's being erased!"

Tai removed his goggled as he gripped onto his Digivice. "Sora!"

At first she didn't follow his face, but then understood as she grabbed her own Digivice. "Ready."

"FIRE!!!"

The same white beam that helped the kids in was being used by Tai and Sora to create a blockade in front of the vacuum; the very same move they used against Apocalypmon.

-

"Sir, some unusual energy created by the zone is slowing down the program."

"Excess more power from the generators. I want that program to delete everything now."

-

"Hurry up! We can't hold out forever!" Sora shouted as she kept the beam toward the vacuum that was gaining more power.

"I gotta reach him in time! Help!"

Henry glared at Rika to help him out. The two grabbed on to Takato's arms and slingshot the boy for him to fly and grab onto the dino before the deleting webs ate him away.

"I thought I was gonna lose you for sure!"

No words were expressed from the Rookie, because after when he glowed in crimson light, he automatically fired a red road that led to where they came in.

"He's created a road for us!" Henry stated, swimming for it.

"Yeah well Renamon could've done the same thing."

Takato and Guilmon gently landed on the red road, just staring at each other.

"You okay?" Takato asked.

"Skating on sausages."

Tai and Sora already made their move on the road. "Have your reunion later! We gotta get out of here!" Tai shouted.

-

The red mass on the blue screen; an unusual amount of data compared to the wild ones…has been deleted. Yamaki humbly gave no smile, but flick his lighter off.

"Problem solved."

-

-

All was right with all. The group safely escaped from the zone and gathered back with their respected Digimon in the park, commenting on their night adventure.

"I couldn't have saved Guilmon without your help. I don't know how to thank you."

"That's easy, Takatomon; just say thank you."

"Momentai."

"The little didn't even do anything."

"Well neither did you, foxy."

This was too much mush for Rika; even mush for meaningless computer data. "Look at you; blubbering over data." With that, without emotion, the ice-Tamer walked away, with Renamon fazing from sight.

"She'll never learn."

"One step at a time, Tai."

"Yeah, I know, Sora."

But a voice out in the distance called that made them jump from their shoes. "Takato, where are you?"

"We got more ice cream!"

The boy rolled his eyes and his head. "That could only be my parents."

He blinked when he felt Tai's large hand on his shoulder. "I'm really proud about the way you handled things back there. You were really brave, Takato."

The young goggle lad smiled. "Yeah? First time for everything."

"The stuff you did would defiantly make Tai proud."

"Just what is that suppose to mean, Sora?" Tai glared at his girlfriend.

But as she smiled, a loud thunder roared upon the clouds. "We better go; a storm's coming."

Henry ran off with the older kids, shouting to Takato: "Something tells me you better get used to that bravery!"

The boy waved farewell to his friends. His happy eyes directed to his Digimon. "You were brave too."

"That's because or you."

A big and warm smile played on the Tamer. Oh how he was glad that Guilmon was here to stay.

"Good night, Guilmon. I'll bring you some ice cream!"

"Yay! Ice cream!"

Not known to the heroes that parted their ways, as the thunder struck and struck, darkness is what clouded the trees. Hiding beyond, a figure watched the young, but only the lightning could give a quick description of a humanoid figure with a large bug horn, with a shine that matched with the thunder.
