Rika didn't know what to think about the Sovereign. They were powerful, more powerful than the Devemon that they just faced, and were key allies to defeat the D-Reaper. They were also hard to predict. They had motives that the Trainers rarely understood. In the end they needed their help. They were the oldest and most powerful digimon in the digital world. If anyone would know the significances of the Devimon and the addition of the new Dark DigiGnomesit would be the Sovereign.

They stopped right in front of the Trainers. "Where did the demon user go?" asked the Baihumon.

"I don't know, its aura disappeared in this meadow." Replied Azulongmon.

"What are you humans doing here?" Asked Zhuqiaomon finally noticing the tamers.

"We came here to investigate the Dark DigiGnomesand then were attacked by a super powerful devemon." replied Takato

"Where did he go?" asked the turtle.

"Rika and Renamon here destroyed it." explained Takato.

"You humans destroyed the demon user?" asked Zhuqiaomon

"He was really giving us a hard time when (Rika's biomerged) suddenly got a lot more powerful and destroyed it."

"Hmm, she must have taped into the energy."

"What energy? What is going on?" asked Rika her annoyance of not knowing what was going on showing in here voice.

"Before we answer your questions tell us what is going on here." demanded Zhuqiaomon.

Takato but a hand on Rika to restrain her then answered, "We were attacked by a Devemon. Rika, Hennery and Rio biomerged, I was to week from opening a portal here. Anyways we were losing pretty badly when all a sudden Rika got really powerful and destroyed it."

"If she can tap into the energy we have to tell her; it looks like we will need these human's help again." Azulongmon said to Zhuqiaomon then he turned to Rika, "Long ago, right after the D-reaper had left us in peace temporary the digital world was hit by an odd pelage from the human world. It modified the data of some of the digimon effecting the way they digivolved. As the digivolved they became evil but also their digivolutions made them incredibly powerful. We tried to find a way to cure the pelage, but it was to no avail. There orignal personalities were completely destroyed in the end war ensued. We fought hard ageist the evil digimon, but they were too powerful to be defeated. We were gathered for what looked like our last stand when the DigiGnomes came to our assistance. They couldn't fight in the traditional way, but they granted four of us a huge amount of their power. We still didn't have the power to destroy the dark digimon so instead we created another layer of the digital world and locked the dark digimon there. With this new power we were able to create peace and order in the digital world tell just today we had another attack form the real world. A giant stream of energy hit the digital world penetrating into the level where we locked the dark digimon. This beam of energy formed into a new type of DigiGnomes that the dark digimon were able to use to increase there power even more. What is worse is that the dark DigiGnomes have interrupted our ability to draw power from the regular DigiGnomes; however it seems that it has not interrupted their ability to give power to you." Azulongmon finished as he looked at Rika.

"Why is that? Why do they give me power?"

"The DigiGnomes respond to love both genial and specific. The DigiGnomes responded to our love of the digital world years ago. The dark DigiGnomes seem to be able to inhibit the DigiGnomes being able to respond to this type of general love, however they can still respond to the love you have that is for a specific person."

Rika turned red. Dammit, how did her feelings for Takato suddenly become everyone's business?

"This may present problems." Muttered Zhuqiaomon, "This means that you will have trouble using the power to save anyone except that boy."

"Hmm, this is true from a limited perspective; however if she can be trained to truly open her mind she can use the power however she wants, but this training must be done completely voluntarily without reservation and done quickly." Explained Azulongmon.

Rika looked at Takato quickly. He nodded and gave her a smile that showed how much faith he had in her.

"I'll do it." She said.

AN: Sorry it took me so long I had a lot of school work and computer problems.
