Back at the Wong Cooperation, Henry begin showing slides of what wass happening with the Digital Fields, the Digital World and the connection between it and the Real World, which amazed Rika, while Takato remained calm and collected.

"As you can see, someone has opened a doorway to the Digital World and the Real World. That is how many Digimon get into the Real World and cause problems. But we believe someone is using this to their advantage." Henry explained.

"However, we don't know who." Jeri added as she stood beside Henry and Terriermon.

"So when did this all happen?" Asked Rika as she, Renamon, Takato and Guilmon sat on a couch opposite them.

"It happened when you first met your Digimon." Jeri said in reply, before telling the four. "And whoever is sending them is coming from the Digital World. It's used to be peaceful, but due to an unknown pair..."

At this, Takato and Guilmon frowned as if they had a pretty good idea who they are.

"It is because of this unknown pair that somehow sealed away the Sovereigns of the Digital World and took it over for themselves. Many good Digimon like you two managed to escape, some went to humans, while some went into hiding." Terriermon said.

"But the bad Digimon formed an alliance with this new enemy." Henry said. "And those who went into hiding, were eventually captured and put into slavery. I am looking for a group of Tamers to help enter the Digital World, find the pair who are causing all this and stop them. That is where you two come in, Takato and Guilmon."

Getting through the situation, Takato spoke up and asked.

"So what can we do?"

"Well, you two know how to fight as a team. I can fight as well and we can ask your rival Impmon for assistance and your friend BlackRenamon is already helping you. We began searching for others, such as Kazu and Kenta so they can help as well. We need a full force if we gonna take out whoever's behind all of this." Terriermon replied, making Henry nod in agreement with his Digimon partner's words.

"I know you all were willing to save the Digital World and stop these 'two' but..." Guilmon replied, before saying. "But we don't want any of you involved. This is our fight alone."

Hearing that, everyone turned to both Takato and Guilmon as they were confused as to why the pair wanted to fight alone.

"We know who we are up against but I don't want any of you getting in the way. It's true we are after them but it's personal..." Takato said.

"I know how you feel and I know how it all happened with you but you've gotta help us on this." Jeri replied, hoping to reason with the pair.

However, it didn't seem to work as Takato replied darkly. "And get yourselves destroyed as well?"

"We're not going down without a fight." Henry reassured.

Takato and Guilmon went silent again as Rika and Renamon looked at them in concern as they both knew that something was wrong, something that the pair were hiding.

"Please. We need your help!" Jeri then begged.

"Perhaps..." Takato thought aloud, before saying in a serious tone. "We tag along on your adventure, no one fights those two but us."

Henry nodded in understanding and replied. "They are as much of our enemy as of yours'."

While she was glad Takato and Guilmon was to be working with her, Renamon was still somewhat confused and had to ask. "So who are we up against? "I mean, I think you know who they are. So come on. Tell us. Who are they? What did they do to make your life so sad?"

"Yeah, come on. Tell us!" Rika pleaded.

But Takato and Guilmon remained silent.

"Alright then, it's settled." Henry interrupted, breaking the awkward silence as he wished to respect Takato and Guilmon and their past. "Takato and Guilmon, you have permission to train for the time being to prepare you for the upcoming battles."

"In the meantime, Jeri, please lead Miss Nonaka and Miss Renamon out. They need to return to their ordinary lives since Renamon cannot fight." Henry then said as he left the room.

"Yes sir." Jeri replied loyally, just before Henry's departure, before turning to Rika and Renamon.

"Come on you two." Jeri then said as she led Rika and Renamon out.

But as they left, Rika and Renamon looked at Takato and Guilmon, who were left in silent.

-Afterwards-

Takato and Guilmon were back in the alleyway again with BlackRenamon and Impmon, in which Takato told them what Henry had told them.

"So they are in the Digital World? Your sworn enemies?" Impmon asked.

Guilmon nodded, before replying. "And we're not alone. Henry is bringing out other Tamers to fight their dark armies as well. This should be our battle alone!"

"Calm down, Guilmon. Look, I know you and Takato don't like fighting alongside others but I have to agree with Henry. This is one fight we have to work together. This is more than vengeance. They put all of the Digital World in peril." BlackRenamon said, much to Takato and Guilmon's disagreement.

"What? You agree as well?" Asked Takato, surprised.

"Hey, even I don't like fighting alongside others but when there's a bigger crisis going on, I put my pride on the line and fight." Impmon replied, surprising Guilmon.

"And besides, I am not letting Guilmon get the..." He continued, before looking behind the pair. "Hey BlackRenamon, why is your sister here?"

Takato, Guilmon and BlackRenamon all turned around to see Rika and Renamon behind them.

"Renamon, what are you're doing here?" Asked BlackRenamon, while Renamon just turned to Guilmon and suddenly got on her hands and knees.

"Please... train me! I will do whatever you say and endure whatever I must to become stronger." She begged.

"Wha...?" Guilmon and BlackRenamon said together as both were confused by the foxy Digimon's actions and words.

Curious, Impmon asked. "What's your game?"

"I am a Digimon too. I cannot just stand on the sidelines while you guys fight for all of us. I wish to fight with you as well. But all I did was pose and model. I need some fighting tips. Please, Guilmon, BlackRenamon... I am begging you. Please help me get the strength I need to protect this world and those I love!" Renamon replied, remaining on her hands and knees.

"I am asking to be trained too." Rika said to Takato, followed up by saying as she knelt before the boy. "I want to help as well. I don't want to be useless anymore. Please help me make Renamon a fighter too."

"Aww... man!" Impmon sighed, rubbing the back of his head.

"I guess we have no choice." Takato said and then sighed in defeat, knowing the pair wouldn't stop until they gave in, which made him respect their determination. "Alright, we'll train you both."

Hearing that, Rika and Renamon asked in hopeful tones. "Really?"

"Yeah, sisters should help each other. Besides, we need all the help we can get." BlackRenamon replied, before facing Guilmon and asking. "Right Guilmon?"

"Fine. We'll help you train." Guilmon said, which caused Renamon to leap up and hug him in a warm embrace.

"Oh thank you!" Renamon cried, hugging him with joy, while Rika hugged Takato in thanks, making both boys just look on in confusion.

The weeks were slow but surely.

At first Renamon wasn't any good in fighting whatsoever.

All she did was deliver weak punches and kicks to both Guilmon and BlackRenamon that didn't affect them.

But in due time, Renamon began to grow stronger as she gained more speed and strength as Guilmon and BlackRenamon helped with push-ups (with them sitting on her back), pulling heavy rocks with her arms and legs tied to it and then sparring.

Renamon managed to learn both Diamond Storm and other attacks as well, while Takato helped Rika in using her D-Power to Digivolve Renamon and use the DigiCards to make Renamon stronger.

Both Rika and Renamon were greatly deep in gratitude for Takato and Guilmon for training them, referring to them as 'Master' during their training in a show of respect.

But inside their hearts, they knew they were finding themselves falling in love with the pair, however though, neither wanted to admit it to them just yet, not when they knew Takato and Guilmon were hiding something to almost everyone around them.

But after a rough two weeks, Rika and Renamon's training was finished.

"All of you. Thank you very much." Rika said as she and Renamon bowed in thanks for the help they had received.

"No worries. It's the least we can do." Takato smiled; glad to see Rika and Renamon happy.

"See? With training, even you two can be force to be reckoned with." Impmon added, making Guilmon nod and state in reply. "And with more training, you two can help us save the Digital World."

"Oh we will! Thank you both so much and I hope we be together all the time, Master." Renamon smiled as she and Rika then walked off, filled with joy and a new found confidence.

But as Rika and Renamon left, Takato and Guilmon were puzzled from Renamon saying 'together all the time' but shook it off as he and Guilmon felt something coming.

"What is it?" BlackRenamon asked, sensing it too.

"Ryo and Cyberdramon are back. This could get ugly." Guilmon said in reply.

"Epically with their hatred for us." Takato added in all seriousness as he and the others remained in place, wondering when their enemies would turn up.
