Rika walked alone under the stars of the digital world. She was at the highest level of this strange world where the digimon sovereign dwelt. She had spent the last few months up here training in how to use the power of the digi-gnomes. The digimon sovereigns still were powerful enough to fight off the rampaging lone dark digimon even with the power up the dark digi-gnomes gave them. The problem was they were becoming more organized moving in packs and even preparing ambushes. Many of the digimon have been forced to flee to this higher level where they were safe (for now) from the rampaging dark digimon.
Many of the digimon were becoming unruly. It had been a hard year for them, first the attack of the D-Reaper and now the reappearance of the infected digimon. The children acted to keep the peace in the new settlements. Most of all though they trained. Rika learned how to use the power of the digi-gnomes at will. She also learned how to use it to other things expect fight. Most significantly she learned how to make her fellow trainers more powerful (though they could not absorb nearly as much power as she could). The others have also become more powerful in their own right. Now Henry, Ryo and Takato were able to fight off some of the infected digimon as well.
Even thoug they lived in constant fear of atack Rika could never rember being happier. She had Takato to think for this. He was always there for her, his dorkey smile, his loving touches, and sweet kisses always liffted her spirt. She also gave him a reason to keep going. When in the begening her training seemed to be going nowhere it was him who gave her the modivation to try her hardest. She just could not bare the thought of not being able to protect him.
Tonight would be there last night on the upper level. Tomarow they would begin their offenceve agenist the infected digimon below.It realy did seem like a hopeless war. They were greatly outnumberd and she was the only one capable of wining a battle agenist the super powerful infected digimon one on one. All the others needed to gang up in groups and try to ambush them one at a time. Sudently she herd someone behind her. "Hey gogel head." She stoped and waited for him to catch up.
"Hey Rika." Said Takato as he joged to catch up to her. They warped their arms around each other and sungled close to each other. "So Rika, are you ready?" asked Takato
She was about to make some cockey remark about how those dark digimon won't stand a chanches agenist her, but she stoped sort. The last few months of training had tought her self honesty, and her time with Takato had tought her how good it can feel to let some of her true feelings show in forunt of him. "I don't know. There are so many of them and they are so powerful. One of use might get hurt or worse. How about you are you scared?
Her tone of voice when she said this showed a fear that Takato had never heard ther before. He tured her so she was facing him and looked deep into her eyes. "Of course I'm scared, but deep downI know everything will be fine."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Becouse I know that regardless of what hapenses you will always be there to protect me and you won't let let anything bad happen to me, and I will always be there to protect you and I will use all me power to make sure that you are safe."
Rika hearing these words felt better than she had in a long time. She wraped her arms around him and kissed him. It was a long hard kiss neither wanting to let go of the other. They finaly did and walked back towards the camp hand in hand. As the walked she keeped glancing over at him. His words did alive a lot her doubts, but still one thought keept nageing at the back her mind. What if she wasn't strong enough to save him.
