Hazards through the sand

Chapter Five: In the stars of dreams- Part Two

"Good morning everyone!" Duo chirped as he literally bounced into the class, giggles tittered across the room from a few students.

Rika rolled her eyes. How could anyone be so cheerful so early in the morning? She wondered if he was truly sane as he skipped, yes skipped to his desk.

Heero entered the classroom next his cobalt eyes scanning the room briefly.

He sedately began to walk to his desk and his gaze met her own.

She raised an eyebrow and made a brief motion in Duos direction.

Coffee… the stoic boy lipped, Rika nodded.

Coffee explained it some people just couldn't have it in the morning.

She herself had milk to wake up.

And another Takatoless day began.

OoOoO

Rika sighed in relief as she sat among the other tamers for lunch. Class had been interesting to say the least, especially with a rather hyper Duo almost bouncing off the walls.

His hyperness, had gotten him a two day after school detention so far.

"Bad day?' Ryo asked as he leaned against a tree a lazy look on his face.

"Very. Maxwell came to class today hyped up on coffee, very hyped," Rika said in annoyance, her eye twitched slightly as Ryo began to smile.

"I could always talk him out of drinking coffee…" Ryo said trailing off.

For what price," she said in a very flat voice.

"For a date," he said smugly.

"I'd rather fight De-reaper again," she said smirking, the digimon king wilted, rejected yet again.

"He never learns," Henry sighed.

OoOoO

A hallway. He had been walking down it for some time. It could be hours or days. Who knew?

All Takato knew was that whatever was at its end was important.

The air echoed from his feet hitting the ground, it was strange since he knew this was a dream.

OoOoO

A woman sat by his hospital bed, her brown eyes filled with love and worry. This was no other then Takato's mother. Smiling sadly she ran a hand through his hair.

The roots of his hair were there natural colouring now, platinum. A colour Takato looked angelic with.

"Your roots are showing honey, you'll have to re-dye it when you wake up," she said and gently kissed his forehead.

"We took your contacts out when you arrived at the hospital, your going all natural Takato… soon you'll look like a little angel," she said.

"Just wake up Takato, we miss you so much," she whispered.

OoOoO

"Well today waste of time yet again," Duo muttered. For goodness sake, for just over a month they had been searching yet came up with pretty much zip.

"And we keep missing the digimons appearance," Wufei said in annoyance. More then once he'd found strange fog field that a few people had mentioned the monsters appeared in.

But they had quickly vanished with the monsters but no sightings of the monsters.

They were the only ones there at the moment. Trowa and Heero were elsewhere. At that moment, Duo's cell phone rang.

"Hello Shinigami radio here," he said cheerfully.

"Hey!" he protested as WuFei grabbed his cell from him, he frowned till Wufei gave it back to him after the call was finished.

"Come, Heero needs to talk to us. He found more information regarding the newspaper article connected to Quatre," Wufei said, Duo gasped.

"He did, I was starting to think it was just someone who looked like him… after all... he's been dead for years," Duo said darkly, he looked at the sky sadly.

He had known Quatre was dead, but that article… the picture looked like his friend… and for a moment he had felt hope.

Till he got to the other pilots, then there was doubt…. If it had truly been Quatre they would have found him by now. For one thing, with Quatres platinum hair he was easily noticeable.

He had looked for more information, in hope the article was linked to his friend… yet had come up empty.

"I truly hope Heero found the articles picture was of Quatre," Wufei said, Duo could only agree.

OoOoO

Takato felt like cheering, as the hallway finally ended. There in front of him was a perfectly normal door.

He reached forward and grabbed the doorknob; twisting it the door creaked open.

OoOoO

"Rika…"

Rika looked up from her magazine, she smirked seeing her partner.

"I sense a digimon nearby, it is very powerful… a mega," Renamon told her, the red head nodded as she got her D-ARK, cards… and remembered to call the other Tamers on her cell-phone.

"Lets go," she said finally, ready for battle.

OoOoO

Takato stepped into a very large room; it was simple looking without furniture.

There was only one other thing in the room, a person facing a large window… Takato couldn't make out anything of the person due to backlighting from the window.

He had to see who this person was, he had to… he knew he had too.

The goggle-head walked across the room to the figure, for a few minutes he hesitated on what to do.

Then gathering his courage, he reached out a hand and placed it on the persons shoulder.

The person began to turn; Takato could only gasp in shock at who he saw.

He was looking…

OoOoO

"What the heck is that!" Rika said in annoyance, the mega Renamon had detected was so small… and her D-ARK wasn't giving her any data.

"I don't recognize it," Renamon said.

The digimon was the size of a large housecat, but its body looked more like a mix of a Gargoyle and a dog then a cat. It's body was very thin, and covered with thick black skin on its underside with black scales everywhere else. Its mouth was beaklike in appearance, but had sharp fangs in it.

The digimon had large red-yellow eyes, black cat like slits in their centres.

At that moment, the other Tamers arrived.

"Whoah, now that's ugly," Terriermon said.

"Terriermon, its also a mega level," Henry reminded his partner.

"But he's still ugly," the rookie said.

"I have no idea what he is," Ryo said frowning. "And I've travelled the digital world a lot."

The only ones that didn't show up were Takato, who was comatose; and Impmon and his tamers, but they did live across town.

Suddenly a spine shivering chuckle filled the air, it belonged to the unknown digimon.

"Good, your all here," it said in a raspy voice.

"Hmph… so what are you, you don't appear on our D-arks," Rika said annoyed.

"I am Konsuimon, your worst nightmare," it rasped out, Rikas eyebrow twitched, what kind of digimon had a name that translated to Coma monster.

Then she froze, certain things clicking together in her mind… things that had been a mystery.

"You…" she said in shock.

"Yes," he sneered.

"You're the one that put Takato into a coma!" she yelled angrily, the other Tamers and the digimon gasped in shock.

"I did, now I will kill you easily… for only he had the power to defeat me," Konsuimon said in glee.

"Then your going down!" Rika said pulling her D-ark up, she could see the otehsr readying cards and D-arks.

"Holy! Mother of all!" Rika gasped, for as she watched Konsuimon began to grow to enormous size.

"Bio-merge!" three voices shouted, followed by flashes of light.

OoOoO

"Quatre is alive, the picture was of him," Herro said simply, this was shocking since they had all given up hope upon the article.

"That's great, then where the hell is he!" Wufei said, they all wanted to know.

"Somewhere in Shinjuku. The hospitals records said he had amnesia, a local couple adopted him... after that they lost track of him," Heero continued.

"He's alive," Duo said sighing in relief.

"Amnesia, it might hard for him to remember," Trowa said, after all the tall teen had once had amnesia.

"We will find him, and figure out what these digimon are in Japan for," Wufei said.

Suddenly, Heeros laptop began to beep violently. Heero went over to it and opened a file, he turned to the other pilots.

"Digimon have appeared nearby, multiple digimon… and they are fighting," Heero said.

"Let's get going, this time I actually want to see them," Duo said jumping up.

OoOoO

"Hiku form!" (subtract) Konsimon shouted as he threw some grey energy from his eyes. Sakuyamon and the other biomerged digimom screamed as it hit them painfully.

Henry winced as he landed on the ground, Terriermon at his side. Whatever that Hiku attack was, it had forced all the biomerge digimon back to normal.

The only mega left was marineangemon, and even Kenta knew he was an extremely weak digimon in the fighting department.

"Henry, whatever that guy did… I think he blocked all our mega form," Terriermon said, Henry swore… that wasn't good.

"Then we'll just digivolve as far as we can," he said and pulled out a blue card.

OoOoO

"Whoah…" Duo said staring, they were on top of a building… actually as close as they could get due to the ground shaking. The biggest digimon was as a four-story building, the rest were much smaller.

"Damn, I keep trying to get a good look at the humans there but the zoom camera is pixilating the images," Wufei said. Duo sighed, looks like this time they wouldn't find out who they were… especially since they couldn't get near them.

OoOoO

at himself.

Startled he took a step back; this was unexpected. It was him; but it was himself without the hair dye or contacts… also different clothing. (Clothing he wore in the Gundam series)

"You finally made it," the other him said with a soft smile, Takato blinked.

"What do you mean?" he asked confused.

"I've been waiting for years, waiting till you were truly ready to remember," he said.

"Wasn't I before?" Takato asked, the other him shook his head no.

"That day when the shuttle went down, you wished to forget the pain, anger and sadness. You wanted to be normal. That was what you wanted deep inside, you got your wish… but now you know you were wrong… you ready," The other him said smiling.

"Are you sure I'm ready to remember… is my past worth it…" Takato said, feeling scared, not knowing what type of person he had been before.

"Your ready Takato, don't be afraid… and if it helps you memory will return slowly so it won't overwhelm you," the other him said.

"You know, I just realized hat I'm literally talking to myself," Takato mused, the other laughed.

"Are you ready Takato, we have to hurry... they need you," The other him said, Takato nodded and took his memories hands.

OoOoO

Guilmons eyes widened with a start, his ears perked up.

His Takatomon needed him.

Guilmon got up and began to run; he knew they were needed.

OoOoO

Takato woke up, his entire body felt stiff and tired. The first thing he noticed; was that he was in a hospital.

It was dark outside, and he knew he didn't have much time. On a table was clothing, for whenever he went home he guessed. Soon he was wearing a pair of jeans, a green long sleeved shirt with a hoody. A beige vest over that: also his usual sneakers and a pair of socks.

He grabbed his D-arc from the bedside table: Takato then walked to the window and opened it. Looking down, he spotted Guilmon waiting for him. An unspoken, signal seemed to go between them.

Takato leapt out, pulling the hood over his head then held out his D-Ark as he fell.

"Biomerge activate!" he yelled.

OoOoO

They were loosing, that Rika couldn't believe.

They had defeated De-reaper who pretty much ate data... well deleted… but this digimon was flinging them about as if they were flecks of dust.

"Oh no…" she whispered, Taomon was too far and Rika had been caught; the digimon was about to squish her under his foot.

She closed her eyes; she didn't want to see her own death.

Then a horrible scream filled the air, the digimon was screaming. Rika opened her eyes gasped. The digimon was turning into data as she watched, the reason…. Well a long crystal sword glowing with light in its chest would be it.

The sword was pulled out and the digimon totally deleted, their saviour was revealed.

Gallantmon… or. Should we say Gallantmon Crimson mode.

Gallantmon CM glowed and shrunk, standing there were two familiar figures.

"Takato!" she said getting up and running u to them, she noticed that Takato was very tired and was using Guilmon as support.

"Hey." he said in a hoarse voice, he was totally unprepared for him to hug him.

"You idiot! Even if you just woke up you shouldn't be out of the hospital!" she berated him.

"Sorry," he said softly. As she pulled away, she then noticed something.

"Takato… your eyes," she said confused, as she took a step away to get a better look at him. His eyes were the wrong colour.

"Oh... I'll explain it all when I'm actually allowed out of the hospital," he said, then fell forward into a faint.
