I'm sorry that last chapter was just a little long. Oh, and if you don't want the young tamers to have names like Joe, Sam, and Bill, submit some Japanese names. I am revising the story every now and then, so if you want the full version, you will have to review my story.I'm sorry if I wasn't very clear, but I just want random Japanese names.
It doesn't even matter if they mean anything specific. I just want names.

Rika glared at Takato. Takato looked dejectedly at the floor. Guilmon was looking at Takato, confused. Renamon was looking at Rika, just waiting. Finally Takato decided to break the ice. "Have you checked your messages yet?"

She smiled, and he cringed: He didn't like the way she grinned at him. Finally she asked "Gogglehead, do you have your cell phone recharger? Last time I checked, Yours was the same as mine." From the look on his face, she knew he knew he was cornered.

"Uh, my phone is also dead…" he started.

"Just give me the stupid charger," she demanded, holding out her hand palm up.

Sighing in defeat, he got up and went to get the charger. Guilmon just blinked innocently, not really knowing what was going on. Takato got back with the charger in his hands. Rika took it and plugged it into the wall and phone. She then turned the phone on and set the volume to max. She then began playing back the message, leaning against the wall and looking straight ahead as if not even noticing Takato.

"Message one:" The computerized voice said

"Uh, hi Rika. Th-This is Takato. I'm just calling to tell you… Huh, what?" Pause. Kazu saying something. "Shut up, Kazu! I won't say that: She'll kill me! Anyway, we're planning a little surprise party for you when you get back… Hey!"

"Takato loves you!" Kazu said very loudly and obnoxiously into the phone. Rika glanced over at Takato and saw a faint blush on his cheeks.

"Kazu… Give it back!"

"Not until you agree to say 'I love you, Rika,'" Kazu and Takato could barely be heard, probably because he was playing keep-away with the phone. Now Takato was really blushing.

Takato sounded like he said "Yeah, yeah, just give me the phone," and his voice was very loud, as if his mouth was very close to the receiver. "Hi, Rika… Uhhhh, I love you. As a friend."

Kazu and some of his friends were complaining on how bad he just ruined it. "Aww, man!" Kazu groaned, "You-" Beep.

"End of message."

Takato was trying to disappear into his clothes, but was finding it hard to do.

"Mind explaining that?" She finally asked.

"Uhh…" was all Takato could say.

"Who else was in on this? Henry? Kazu? Kenta? My mom?" She asked, irritated. If my mom knew about this, I'll never live it down.

Takato nodded at all of them but the last one and added one final name that shocked Rika: "Jeri."

Rika tried to contain her shock as she asked "How did Jeri take it when you said you love me?"

This confused Takato a little bit. "Jeri and I are just friends," he said simply.

"Sure, and I'm a Little Tea Pot." She responded sarcastically. "I thought you two were going out," she added dryly.

Then it hit Takato what she was talking about. "Oh…" And what she would do to him if she found out. "Uhh… W-we broke up." The moment he said that, he knew what she was going to ask next, and that made him sweat bullets.

"Why did you break up?" she asked coldly, glaring at him as if wishing he would drop dead at her feet. That look made Takato think that maybe she already knew, but he just shrugged it off. There's no way she could know about it.

"Uhhh… we had a disagreement," he said nervously, trying to avoid how bad the "disagreement" got.

"About what?" she demanded calmly.

"Uhh… why you… left?" he ventured.

Rika glared at him, ready to beat him to a pulp "You don't seem sure of yourself, Gogglehead." she commented dryly.

Guilmon was confused. Why is my tamer lying to Rika? I thought it was bad to lie. If Takato knew the thoughts that went through Guilmon's head, he probably could have stopped him from uttering the following: "Takato yelled at Jeri, they-"

"Aah… no Guilmon! I value my life!" Takato shouted as he jumped at Guilmon and closed his mouth. Guilmon looked at his tamer and blinked innocently, not really understanding what was going on.

"You were yelling over why I left?" Rika asked skeptically, glaring at the two boys. Takato and Guilmon looked at her and gave her clueless looks. Rika tried her best to stop from giggling, but she relented by smirking. Turning serious, Rika stated "Henry already told me a little about your 'disagreement' when we were walking here."

Takato was surprised that he was still alive. He figured, as well as the other tamers, that as soon as she got wind of this, they would be down one Senior Tamer named Takato Matsuki. Guess Henry calmed her down a little bit.

"Speaking of which: Do you know who Henry's girlfriend is? Blame him for making me find out about this," she added.

Takato blinked "Henry has a girlfriend?"

Rika narrowed her eyes. "He didn't even tell you?" she asked mildly confused. "He tells you everything, though." she added.

Embarrassed, he asked "How do you know he has a girlfriend?"

"He tried to avoid the subject," she simply said.

"Oh," was all that Takato could think of saying at the moment. He looked at the floor, and Rika looked with him, both thinking different thoughts. The thoughts going in Rika's mind went something like this: I'm not going to kill him. I am not going to kill him. Boy do I want to kill him! while Takato's when on with: I'm going to get Henry! Why did I even tell him that I liked Rika a bit more than as a friend?

After five minutes, Guilmon sniffed the air and muttered "I smell Digimon."

Rika looked up and pushed herself off from the wall and got out the back room. When she looked back at Takato and Guilmon, she was surprised and angry to find them both moping around in the back room. To say she was ready to beat them up would be putting it mildly. She was infuriated and started to yell at the pair, with Renamon behind her shoulder, glaring. "What are you doing standing there? There's a Digimon that's about to come through and your sitting here like it's nothing? Do you want this Digimon to wreak this city?"

Takato was instantly on the defensive. "Don't worry. I'm sure one of the children will be…"

CHILDREN!" She exploded. "You have eight to fifteen-year-olds FIGHTING DIGIMON! They could get hurt! They could get killed! They could… They could…"

"Well, I guess you know how Yamaki felt when we went fighting Digimon," he commented nervously, scared out of his wits. This comment made Rika stop to think for a while. "And besides, if it's anything that's dangerous, Hypnos will call us."

Ring.

Rika looked at her phone and sighed. I am definitely spending too much time on the phone lately. She picked it up and was surprised to find it was Hypnos. Glaring at Takato, she answered it.

"Rika Nonaka, is Takato with you?"

"Yes, he…" she yawned, feeling a wave of drowsiness wash over her. "Yes, he is."

"Good. There is an Ultimate-level Digimon coming through in front of his parent's bakery. It looks really strong, so tell him to get WarGrowlmon out." beep.

Ending the call, she told Takato "Looks like we're going to be fighting a Digimon after all. That was Hypnos, saying a strong Ultimate was coming through."

That got Takato up and running. If he was running any faster, the automatic door wouldn't have been able to move to let him out. He walked into a Digital Field before he knew it, closely followed by Guilmon, Rika, and Renamon. Rika and Renamon, however, were having a hard time staying awake. Rika was starting to zone out when a recognizable voice called her name.

"Rika!"

Looking around, she found out that the voice belonged to Susie, who was looking at her as if questioning Rika's health. Rika looked up to see who she was fighting against and gasped. She was looking at a black centaur that had an ox's body and head, wearing red armor. She knew who this was, despite the fact that it was almost eight years since he died. He almost took Renamon away from me. She thought. Looking at Renamon, she would have ran to her if only her legs would cooperate. Renamon was almost on the ground. It sounded like Renamon was trying to say something, but couldn't get the strength to poject it. She tried to grab a card from her card holder, only to realize that she didn't have it with her.

"Rika! Catch!" Rika heard Henry shout and looked up in time to see the card. For some odd reason, her reflexes seemed slowed down somehow and she barely managed to catch the card. She looked at it. It took awhile before her brain recognized it as a digivolution card. She swiped it through her Digivice. Looking back at Renamon, she could tell that she was still as slow-moving as before. She then began to digivolve into Kyubimon. She looked like she revived a little and Rika felt more awake.

"None shall defy the Sovereign!" yelled Vajramon.

Wolfie was back on his knees before his master, ready to make his report. His Master acknowledged him and he began to make his report. "Over three-fourths of our troops are in position. Number Five has engaged the Tamers."

"I am already aware of Number Five's actions." said his Master. It was then that Wolfie noticed that his master was holding what looked to be a crystal orb in his hand. "You may get up and look with me." he said, motioning for Wolfie to stand up. Confused but obedient, he got up and looked at the orb and was tempted to gasp. There, in the orb, was the picture of the battle. "Now watch, little wolf, as we see the effect of the Dark Aura on those punched by the Dark Touch."

Wolfie looked at the picture, completely in awe.

"Vajramon?" said Lopmon. Rika looked at Lopmon, who was on Susie's shoulder. Lopmon had a look of shock and surprise on her small face. It took awhile for Rika's slowed-down brain to figure out how Lopmon knew Vajramon. Of course. Lopmon's Ultimate form, Antylamon, is a Deva type, too. Rika knew that it would take an Ultimate to beat him. Concentrating hard, she held the card as tight as possible between her two fingers. Seeing a blue glow, she looked down to see the card turned into a Blue Card. Swiping it through her Digivice, she noticed a green Cyborg Digimon in the air with his arms spread out and his feet together. Kyubimon began Matrix Digivolving. There began to be a triangle forming in front of Rapidmon. "Tri-beam!" The beam hit Vajramon, but it didn't cause severe damage.

"Digi-modify! Digivolution activate!" The voices belonged to Takato and Susie. I finally get to see Lopmon's Champion form. Guilmon was surrounded by a red, egg-shaped object while Lopmon was surrounded by a pink one. The eggs burst, revealing that Guilmon digivolved to Growlmon, while Lopmon digivolved to a martial artist with a yellow Gi and a black belt with red gloves on and curved blades on the back of her wrists which extended side of her forearms. She also had a blue handkerchief under her chin and was about the same size and shape as Gargomon.

Getting her Digivice out, Rika got the stats of the new player of the game: "Turuiemon: Animal-type Digimon. Champion. Main attacks are Gauntlet Claw and Lightning Kung-Fu." Looking at Turuiemon, she could see why she had those attacks. Those blades could probably cut a good-sized chunk out of any building.

"Talisman of Light!"

Taomon's attack did just as little damage as Rapidmon's, but it seem to anger Vajramon more. He must be weakening. The thought was barely thought when Vajramon took out his blades and attacked Taomon with Deva blade, making an X fly out and meet her hastily put-up shield. It resisted the shield at first, but Rika was getting a bad headache. The headache turned into a full-fledged migraine as the shield broke. However the attack didn't stop at the shield. It hit Taomon full in the chest, causing Rika and Taomon to cry out in pain. Rika fell to her knees, and took one last look at the super-powered Deva before fainting. Taomon also fell to the ground and de-digivolved to Renamon and fainted with her Tamer.

"Why did her Tamer faint?" wondered Wolfie aloud, forgetting whose presence he was in. He felt himself shiver, and he knew that his master had just smiled.

"Because her tamer and herself are linked as close as anyone can be without being in the same body." his master answered. "Which might also explain why both were moving slower than usual." he commented before looking back at the battle.

Vajramon had just used the same attack on Rapidmon. He de-digivolved into Terriermon before he passed out. Before anyone could stop her, Susie took out a card that turned blue. To say she was surprised would be an understatement; she was flabbergasted. She swiped the card through, and Turuiemon Matrix digivolved to Antylamon.

"Stop! Vajramon, stop this right now!" She ordered.

If Vajramon even noticed who was saying this, he only acknowledged this by shouting "None shall defy the Dark Sovereign."

Antylamon narrowed her eyes in confusion. "Who is this Dark Sovereign you speak of?" She asked calmly.

Vajramon just smirked, not even answering his fellow Deva's question. He then charged her and she braced herself, planning on pushing him back. He ended up being stronger than she remembered, and it took all her strength just to hold him back.

"Lightning Joust!"

Wolfie saw an arc of electricity hit Vajramon on his ox body, unbalancing him and causing Antylamon to get the upper hand. She pushed tho ox off his feet, and Gallantmon entered the view, getting ready to finish him off. Antylamon closed her eyes and bowed her head in sorrow, as if not wanting to witness the following act.

"Shield of the Just!" Gallantmon yelled, pointing his shield at Vajramon.

"Corona Blaster!" Surprised, Antylamon looked for the voice's owner, but couldn't see him. The two attacks hit Vajramon hard, but when the dust cleared he was still standing. Until his knees hit the ground. However, Gallantmon was worn out with all the energy he put into the attack, and Wolfie couldn't see the other Digimon. Antylamon sighed as if regretting what she was about to do.

"Bunny Blade!" She yelled, making a blade form in her right hand. She drove it into Vajramon, causing his data to disperse.

At that same instant, the Orb got fuzzy, making it impossible for Wolfie or his master to see what happened next. "Hmm. That explains why I haven't found any data on Number Eleven. Nevertheless, her clone will be ready." His master commented to himself.

"Master, may I…" Wolfie started hesitantly.

"Everyone reacts differently when exposed to something new. So it was with her." His master stated, reading Wolfie's mind.

Wolfie shivered. He didn't like it when his mater reads his mind. "Perhaps a more intimidating opponent would be an IceDevimon." Wolfie said. He shivered again, sensing his master's smirk.

"I have thought about it, but IceDevimon are rare, not easily created, and too independent. If we send one to my future domain, half of it would be frozen before I could regain control of him again."

Backing away from the throne, Wolfie bowed in an apologetic manner "Forgive my ignorance, Master. I did not…"

"Get up," said his master irritably, interrupting his excuses. "Know this; My domain had better be ready when I enter, or there will be consequences. Do you understand, WereGarurumon?"

Wolfie kneeled and bowed his head. "I understand perfectly, Master." His master dismissed him with a gesture similar to someone shooing a fly away, and WereGarurumon walked hastily to the door. However, before he reached it, his master made one final comment.

"And make sure to plant the Vixen Surprise near the Matsuki bakery, where she is currently resting. This is something that I simply must see…"

"NO!" Rika yelled, sitting up in a bed. She wiped her hand across her forehead and was surprised to find a lot of moisture on her hand. She then groaned out in pain, as the feeling of pain in the right side of her ribcage became noticeable. When she felt the area, however, she didn't feel the pain increasing. Not really thinking about it, she got up and realized that she was in someone else's room. Probably some guy's room. She thought as she looked at the decorations. Looking out the window, she realized that it was dusk. I've been sleeping away more than half of my time here! She thought irritably. "Renamon?" she called out, hoping she was alright. Renamon emerged from the shadows with bandages making an X on her chest. "Are you alright?" she asked.

"Yes Rika." she answered, then said "Rika, I had a strange dream when I was asleep. It appeared that someone was watching the battle from afar, then were talking about it…"

"That was my dream too." Said Rika, not really thinking about it.

Renamon looked at her with a shocked expression. Then her ears perked up when she heard the sound of someone running up stairs, and her eyes darted to the door.

Knock knock. "Rika!" called a cheerful voice that Rika recognized as Jeri's. "Are you up?" Walking to the door, she opened it quietly and put her finger to her mouth, motioning her to be quiet.

"I want to talk to you." Rika whispered.

Jeri was a little uneasy, but she didn't know why. If she found out about Takato and me… I pity the remaining days he has. She continued to smile her winning smile. Rika put her arm around Jeri and led her to the bed. They both sat down on it, Rika putting a reassuring arm around Jeri. Renamon closed the door, knowing what Rika was about to ask Jeri, and it might not be pretty.

"Jeri, I heard you and Gogglehead got in a fight." Rika stated bluntly. Jeri's eyes opened a good five inches bigger. How does she know? Is that Takato downstairs, or a dead man walking? "Jeri, please tell me as much as you can remember about the fight." Rika continued, trying to placate her friend by any means possible. She then smirked. "And I promise to refrain from beating him up until after I have heard the whole story."

Jeri smiled half-heartedly, not really believing her friend. Not to say that she didn't trust her, it's just that Rika tended to be a little too overprotective of her. She even remembered the time when some jerk severely insulted her on a date, and Rika just happened to be in the same fast food diner. To this day, the poor guy's kids could probably still feel the broken ribs. "If you want to talk about it, I'm sure Takato…"

"I want to hear it from you," Rika cut in. "I want to prolong his life as long as possible, and him describing how he hurt you would only make his suffering more intense."

Jeri sighed and looked at Rika and Renamon and leaned in towards Rika, whispering. "What I am about to say must not leave this room. You must tell no one about it, not even Henry." Glancing up at Renamon, who was leaning against the door, she added "Renamon, the same goes for you." This shocked both Rika and her partner, though both hid it well enough. Both nodded their heads in the affirmative, wanting to hear this little secret. Jeri took a deep breath and said: "Takato and I were planning on getting married, but whenever we tried to decide about anything, we would just disagree on it, even if it was a small thing, like what color the bride's-maids' dresses should be." Rika now was truly confused. Takato wasn't the type of person who disagreed over every little thing. Takato isn't the type of person who disagreed over every little thing.

"Are you sure Gogglehead was himself those days?" Rika asked, more than a little surprised at her fellow Tamer's actions.

Jeri just smiled a little when she heard that and said simply "I think he had a small crush on a pretty lady."

Rika looked at her and said "You think Takato has a crush on me?" Renamon was also surprised by this news, looking at Jeri in surprise. Rika blushed a little, but shrugged it off. Jeri just giggled at her friend's discomfort.

"So when did Takato slap you?" Rika asked.

Jeri smiled, embarrassed. "He never slapped me. Sure, there was a lot of shouting, but when we decided that a marriage might not be the best thing, we split up. Everyone was curious as to why we suddenly split up, so both of us came up with a story about how he slapped me and called me a stupid little girl. The last bit might have been a little too much, because Henry was ready to beat Takato up; I've never seen him that angry before…"

"Quiet," Renamon ordered silently, hearing someone coming upstairs.

Knock Knock. The door opened and in popped Henry and Terriermon. "Rika, you're awake. I... uh, Yamaki's here. He wants to talk to you." He then put a worried expression on his face "Are you OK?" he asked.

"I'm fine," Rika said forcefully. She then got up off the bed and walked to the door. She then got out of the room and walked down the stairs. Her friends followed her. She then recognized the house she was in: The Matsuki Bakery. I was sleeping in Takato's bed? she blushed. Why am I even worried over it? A bed is just a place where someone sleeps. Nothing more. Still, a part of her was… intrigued that she had done something "daring," but another part of her, the icy, rational part of her, was angry for the fact that she was pleased for those strange reasons and tried to reason away the "daringness" of it.

Getting to the bottom of the stairs, she noticed that Jeri, Henry, and Yamaki weren't alone. Takato, Susie, Ryo, Kazu, Kenta, and three of the other younger Tamers were there as with their partners. When they noticed her, many of them had relieved expressions on their faces.

Takato was the first to speak. "Uh, Hi Rika. Are you-"

"I'm fine," Rika answered him before he could say anything more.

Yamaki seemed to ignore her quick reaction, and got straight to the point. "We don't know why Zhuchoumon SP? decided to recreate the Devas, but we won't lie down to him trying to wreck this city."

"How do we know that Zhuchoumon sent sent these 'Cloned' Devas to wreck the city?" Clones, Rika thought, Where have I heard that before? "We know that Zhuchoumon doesn't like humans, but if he did this, the remaining three Sovereigns would team up on him." said a voice from behind Rika. She turned to her side to let Henry and Jeri through. Yamaki glared at him through his sunglasses.

"I think... that we are dealing with a Myotismon," said Rika completely throwing everyone for a loop, except Renamon who just nodded.

"His silhouette did look like one." She confirmed to her Tamer.

Yamaki looked at the Tamer and Digimon, surprised. "You have seen this Digimon?" he asked.

Rika smiled at her own naiveté. How do I know that the stupid dream was real? Luckily the question was answered by Renamon.

"We had a dream,"

Yamaki just sighed and put his head in his hands, Takato and Guilmon blinked dumbly, Terriermon laughed raucously, Henry had a confused expression on his face, and the rest were either chuckling, snorting, laughing, or just plain dumbfounded.

"You both had the same dream." Henry asked, wanting to verify what he heard was true. When both of them nodded, he got into his thinking position. "I think we can trust them." he said. This made everyone look at him as if all of his sense left his brains. He smiled when he saw the others' reactions. "At least for now," he amended.
