Chapter Thirteen:
The Final Battle?
"Dynasmon?" Takuya asked confused looking between Autumn and the knight Digimon. "What's going on?"
"Its simple really." Autumn told them. "Dynasmon is Wizardmon's mega form. Why do you know him?"
"Sort of Autumn." Dynasmon answered for Takuya, then he looked at the boy. "I was the one you and your friends helped in the woods, but I'm not the same one you faced four years ago."
"So then how do you know Cruasdermon?" Takuya asked
"Because…Well in a way I am the Dynasmon that you all fought on the moon, then in a way I'm not." he told them.
"Okay now I'm totally confused." Takuya said
"Its simple." Autumn said again. "When Takuya and the others fought Crusadermon, and Dynasmon on the moon and defeated them, they were purified and reborn. But I recently found out that before I met Kouichi and the other Warriors, Wizardmon couldn't digivolve to his mega form. That was until the piece of data that Takuya and the others fought rejoined with his original."
"Oh." Takuya sighed finally understanding.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but…"
"We don't have the time for this." Takuya said nodding. "Myotismon is in Odaiba already."
"Right. We need to figure out how we're getting home and then get to Myotismon." Kari said "Hopefully soon, before Myotismon fulfills his plan.
"So you know already." Dynasmon said looking at Kari.
"I still feel that there should actually be a way to purify Myotismon, instead of having to defeat him." Kari said, but Dynasmon shook his head.
"Its not possible to purify him." he said. "I just got back from talking to Gennai and the other Celestials. They told me that he has to be destroyed."
"But if we destroy him, then Millenniummon will be freed."
"Yes, but he's not counting on us having some old friends with us."
"Autumn? What do you mean?" Sora asked confused.
"Dynasmon?"
"Right, you all know Toru? Right?"
"Yes." Kari, Sora and Taiyou said together.
"Well his Digimon is both an old friend and enemy of Millenniummon."
"How is he an old friend, but also an enemy as well?" Kari asked confused.
"Ryo knows more about it than I do." Dynasmon said
"Well, we'll ask him when we get to Odaiba then." Sora said "Right now we should be worrying about Myotismon anyways."
"Alright then lets go." Autumn and the group nodded. She just hoped that they weren't too late.
Meanwhile, Ryo was running toward the tallest building in Shinjuku know the world as Hypnos, but to him and the other Tamers, known as a safe haven, when he heard a shout from behind them. Turning toward the shout he saw that four of the six Warriors were running toward them, and he wondered where the other two were at. As she ran Rika noticed that Ryo had stopped and she wondered what was going on.
"Ryo? Is everything okay?" she asked
"Yeah you guys go on ahead and talk with Yamaki." he told her as Zoe and the others got closer. "There has to be a reason that he called the five of us here."
"Alright." Rika said and she continued to the Hypnos building with the others.
"Zoe whats wrong?" Ryo asked once they got close enough.
"Myotismon." she said
"What about him?" Ryo asked confused. "I thought he was in Heighten View Terrace."
"Not anymore." Zoe said "He's here in Odaiba."
"WHAT?!" Ryo said shocked, finally understanding the feeling that he had been having.
"Yeah, he came here to Odaiba." Zoe told him curious about Ryo's expression, which had turned very dark. "I don't know why he did, but Takuya and JP stayed behind to catch up with the others."
"Of course." he said more to himself that them. "Now it makes sense."
"What does?" Zoe asked sharply startling Ryo.
"Oh I had been feeling that something was off." Ryo said "Now its clear that Myotismon wanted us to go to Heighten View Terrace, while he camr here to release him."
"You mean Millenniummon. But he can't be released unless we defeat Myotismon." Zoe reminded Ryo.
"Not quiet." Ryo said. "I just found out that his so called defeat in the Digital World was a ploy in order to come here with a head start. Its here that Millenniummon plans to rule, while Myotismon rules the Digital World."
"Wait what?"
"And that's why Yorak and the other two stayed behind." Ryo told her.
"But I don't understand, Millenniummon is sealed while the Overlords live." Zoe said. "And the only one left now is Myotismon. So Millenniummon isn't free until he's destroyed too."
"That's true, but Myotismon isn't the only link to Millenniummon's power…" Ryo trailed off
"What are you talking about Ryo?" she asked confused.
"Zoe this doesn't get repeated, ever." Ryo said seriously."
"Understood." she agreed. "Now what did you mean?"
"The final link to Millenniummon's power is…well it's me." he told them.
"WHAT?! How is that possible?!"
"THis coming from four of six humans who can become Digimon." Ryo said shaking his head. "I fought with Millenniummon before the rest of you guys even came to the Digital World, and because of it…ppart of his power broke off onto me. It's the main reason I alone can control Cyberdramon."
"But Cyberdramon isn't a bad Digimon." Zoe said. "Still how could you have possibly fought with Millenniummon when he was sealed by the original Digidestined?"
"Zoe I was the one who orginially sealed him away." Ryo sighed. "He was in a different form yes, but it was still him."
"How is that possible?"
"Because the one that was sealed by the original Digidestined and the one I fought are fragments of the other one that was destroyed and reborn as Cyberdramon."
"Huh?!"
"When the first one was originally destroyed he was fragmented into three. The one that Myotismon is trying to release, can't be unless…"
"Cyberdramon is destroyed, right" Zoe asked feeling worried and scared to hear the answer.
"Uh…"
"Zoe enough." Kouji said placing her hand on his friend's shoulder. He knew that whatever Ryo was hiding it was obviously not good. "We don't have the time."
"Right, I'm sorry Ryo. Let's go catch up to the other Tamers." she said and the started walking towards the Hypnos building.
"Kouji…thank you." Ryo said, then he ran to catch up with Rika, who could tell something was wrong with Ryo, but didn't know what.
"Hey is everything okay?" she asked
"Y-Yeah." he said. "C-Come on."
"Alright." she said, but Rika knew then that something was indeed wrong.
'Ryo.' Kouji thought thinking about when Kouichi would hide things from him. "Hey Zoe…"
"Yeah?"
"I know it goes without saying…but Autumn and the others…"
"What about them?"
"I wonder if Autumn knows."
"About Ryo and what he was telling me?" Zoe asked "I don't know."
"I'm just wondering, since she seems to know more than the others."
"Maybe, although Kari is the one that knows the most about him."
"Yeah I guess." Kouji said as he heard a shout. "Looks like Takuya's caught up with us."
"JP too." said Zoe looking behind them.
"It looks like the others are with them." Kouichi added focusing on Autumn. There was something about her that was troubling him, but he didn't know what
"Hey you guys." Takuya said.
"Hey." Zoe said, trying to hide her fear, but Takuya had already sensed it since he had the same type of abilities as his cousin.
"I guess you found out about him." he said solemnly.
"I did but there's something that he's still keeping a secret." Zoe told them. "But that's okay, I really shouldn't press people to tell me something they don't want to share."
"You don't want to know this." Takuya said. "Trust me."
"Maybe not, but maybe we need to know, because there may be a way to prevent whatever it is."
"Zoe…"
"Guys now isn't the time to talk about this." Autumn said holding her side.
"I'm just being realistic." Zoe said kind of hurt and annoyed at the same time. "But Autumn are you alright?"
"Yeah." she said, not meeting their eyes.
"No, you're not, but we need to get to the Hypnos building." Zoe said as she started toward the building. "Let's go."
"Well it looks like he was wrong after all?"
"Zoe! Get to Ryo!" Takuya shouted.
"Okay!" she said and evolved to her beast form since she moved much quicker in the air.
"Oh please." Myotismon said moving to interrupt her.
"PLASMA PAWS!"
"Like you could hit me with that attack." he said dodging her and went after Ryo.
"He's after him!" shouted Kouji recognizing the scene from before when he faced his brother. "RYO!"
"Huh? Look out!" he shouted pushing Rika to the side, but couldn't dodge Myotismon fast enough himself.
"Ryo!" shouted Rika as she looked at Renamon and nodded. "BIOMERGE ACTIVATE! Renamon Bio-Merge to… SAKUYAMON!"
"Let him go Myotismon." Autumn said, she knew that they couldn't let the vampire just get away, especially not with Ryo and…no they couldn't let that happen. Not again.
"I don't think so." Myotismon said. "CRUSADERMON!"
'HURRICANE GALE!'
'SPIRAL MASQUERADE!' the knight shouted countering Zoe's attack.
"I think I will leave this mess to you." Myotismon said taking off with Ryo.
"Rika, go after him!" Zephyrmon shouted.
"Okay!" she said and took off after Myotismon.
"I'm going too." Takato said.
"Zoe…you go as well." Takuya said. "Kouji, Kouichi and I can handle her."
"Alright, be careful you guys." Zoe said and she took off after Myotismon and the others.
"We will." Takuya said looking at the twins and nodded. Just then Takuya saw Myotismon throw a blast toward Zoe. "Oh no, ZOE!"
"Takuya go after them!" Autumn shouted. "Dynasmon!"
"Right."
"You still alive?" asked the female knight.
"You won't get rid of me that easily." Dynasmon said as Takuya ran to Zoe, and as a shadow loomed over them.
"How about a helping hand?" asked a Digimon with large black wings, one that Rika and Takato knew well.
"Who are you?" Takuya asked, then he decided to over look it and look after his girlfriend. "ZOe are you alright?"
"I think so." she said.
"I'm glad." Takuya said, then he looked at the Digimon that joined them. "Who is that?"
"I have no idea. They just attacked me."
"Heh, it wasn't me cupcake." the Digimon said.
"Sorry Zephyrmon, I pushed you out of the way of the blast." Sakuyamon said landing beside them. "Are you alright?"
"What's up Fox Face?" asked the winged Digimon.
"tch…Impmon. What do you want?"
"I'm Beelzemon! Sheesh you've spent too much time around Terriermon."
"Now isn't the time you guys!" shouted Gallantmon. "Sakuyamon go after Myotismon and Ryo."
"Right." she said and tried to leave again.
"Not this time." shouted Mahiramon coming out of a portal.
'DOUBLE IMPACT!' shouted Beelzemon. "Go Sakuyamon!"
"Uh thanks." Sakuyamon said ad she took off a little surprised.
"Thanks, Beelzemon." Takuya said looking at Zoe.
"Hey Pineapple Head, you go on as well. I'll look after the others and help them out too." he said looking at the Warriors. "I'm guessing you're friends?"
"Yeah, we're friends with the Tamers." Zoe said.
"Alright you guys get out of here." said Beelzemon. "I'll handle the Deva."
"Alright thanks." Zoe said and she took off.
"Zoe! Thanks Beelzemon." Takuya said taking off after Zoe
"Heh."
"Hey Beelzemon, we could use a hand." Sapphire called.
"Right! DOUBLE IMPACT!"
"Rika!"
"What?!"
"What does Myotismon what with Ryo?" Takato asked as he flew on Grani, his steed and friend.
"I don't know."
"ZOe do you know?" Takato asked as the Wind Warrior flew behind them.
"I do, but I don't think he wants you guys to know. Sorry."
"Uh…"
"I'm confused." Takato said. "What is it that he doesn't want us to know?"
"I'm sorry I was asked to keep it a secret."
"I_It couldn't be…could it?" Takato asked looking straighed at Zoe, confusing Rika. Figuring that he had it figured out, Zoe nodded. "NO!"
"We have to get them and stop Myotismon." Zoe said.
"Yeah." He agreed. 'Ryo..' "I don't get it, why him?"
"Will someone please fill me in?" Rika asked annoyed
"Uh…Zoe?"
"I'm not going to be the one that becomes part of that fight." Zoe said. "Sorry Rika, you'll have to talk to Ryo after we deal with Myotismon."
"If it's not too late." Takato mumbled.
"What?" Rika asked
"Nothing." Takato said quickly "Let's go."
"Okay."
As Ryo struggled against his bonds that Myotismon placed him in, Myotismon walked around the ritual circle to get what he needed. However the one thing he had to have, wasn't exactly corrapreating and he was running out of time. Sighing he walked over to the boy and took out the gag.
"You won't get my energy Myotismon." Ryo said as he struggled against his bonds.
"Please, you don't have the strength to fight me and without those meddling nuisances that Azura is related to…"
'He's right, unless the others find me soon…' Ryo thought as the wall busted open revealing two megas and of the Warriors.
"Well, well so you're the fools who can combine with Digimon." Myotismon said looking at the two megas.
"They're not alone, you know." Zoe said.
"Oh please you all are pathetic." Myotismon said smiling. "I doubt you all even know the truth about your friend here."
"Well, I would, if they would just tell me." RIka said annoyed.
"Leave them out of this, Myotismon!" Ryo shouted panicking. That was the one thing he didn't want Rika to know about him.
"I don't think so Ryo." Myotismon said then he looked at the girl mega. "So you want to know what everyone else already knows about your loving boyfriend?"
"Well yeah, it's clearly important." she said.
"Well what he doesn't want me to tell you is that he used to be Millenniummon." Myotismon said smiling at the shocked looks on the four faces as Ryo hung his head.
"So that's what you wouldn't tell me, even though you told me everything else?" Zoe asked shocked.
"You didn't want me to know because you were scared of how I'd react, huh?" Rika asked understanding but still shocked.
"Myotismon I hate you!" Ryo said glaring at the vampire Digimon, then he looked at Rika. "No I didn't want you to know Rika."
"Why?" Rika asked angrily.
"I didn't want anyone to know." Ryo said glumly. "It's the reason I can control Cyberdramon. He was sent to guard me."
"So that Millenniummon can't be freed, right?" Rika asked "That's why he's guarding you?"
"It's too late." Myotismon said. "I've got him and Millenniummon will be freed. At last I, will be with my master."
"You're as crazy as they come." Ryo told him. "You free him and he'll destroy you too."
"Well that's not going to happen." said a new voice.
"Well, well." Myotismon said. "So, you're here too."
"Did you really think your evil could escape me so easily?" Angewomon asked.
"Oh please." Myotismon said turning toward the statue behind him. It was the moment Ryo had been waiting for and he looked at Rika. 'Come on Rika…'
"SPIRIT STRIKE!"
"What the…?!" Myotismon said breaking his concentration causing Ryo to fall from the wall where he was being held.
"Tech, finally." he said landing on his feet. "Cyberdramon!"
"Right!" the dragon Digimon said coming in from no where. "BIOMERGE ACTIVATE…JUSTIMON!"
"Well shit." the vampire said annoyed. "I'll get you for this you brat."
'HOLY AIR!"
"JUSTI KICK!"
"CELESTIAL ARROW!"
"HURRICANE GALE!"
"ATOMIC INFERNO!"
"You may have defeated me, but he will be back." Myotismon said finally dissolving. After the vampire was gone, Ryo sighed and dedigivolved from his mega, and sat down with his head between his hands. Rika watched as he did and knew that he was truly ashamed. So she dedigivolved herself and walked over to him.
"Ryo? Are you okay?"
"Yeah." he said slowly, then he realized who it was that walked up to him. "So you're not mad at me?"
"I am still kind of mad, but I do understand." Rika said softly sitting down beside him.
"I…I didn't want anyone to know." Ryo said sadly. "Only Autumn fully knew the truth and she swore she would never tell anyone."
"Actually I knew the truth as well." Kari said walking up to them. "I figured it out on my own though. Especially when the Sovereigns came and told you about him and you paled. I knew then that there was a history there that you didn't want anyone to know about."
"I…I see." Ryo said, then he looked at Rika. "The reason I didn't tell you was because I was afraid you would hate me if you knew."
"Well I don't. I like you, no matter what's going on." Rika said blushing a little.
"O…Oh." Ryo said ask Kari walked away leaving them alone. Then Rika kissed him, shocking Ryo like before, but he quickly got over it and kissed her back.
"I'm sorry." he said.
"For what? Not telling me? You were scared at how I might react. It's okay." Rika said smiling.
"I was extremely scared and it was one of the reasons I was avoiding you before. But now…" Ryo trailed off feeling the darkness coming. 'No!'
"Ryo?"
"R…Rika mo-move away." Ryo said clutching his head as if it was tearing him apart so Rika moved away slowly but not too far.
"So my last servant has been destroyed." Ryo said in a strange voice.
"R-Ryo?" Rika asked worried.
"Oh please, that pathetic human…he doesn't exist."
"Yes he does! You are two separate beings in one body right now, and I will find away to separate you." Rika said getting angry again.
"Heh, you're pathetic."
"No she's right." Zoe said . "Ryo told me himself that you became a part of him, so there has to be a way to separate you and we will find it."
"Yeah ri-" Millenniummon started, but there was something different and the girls could tell.
"Ryo? Do you know how to how to separate the part of Millenniummon that joined with you?" Kari asked taking advantage of Ryo's brief control.
"N-No…ge-get a-away." Ryo told them. "I d-don't know how long I'll b-be in control."
"ALright, but we'll find a way to free you." Rika said. "I promise."
"R-Rika t-talk to Toru and t-the others." Ryo told her.
"Right I will."
"THat's if you get away." Shouted Millenniummon. "HEAT VI-"
"DOUBLE IMPACT!"
"Beelzemon!" shouted Takato.
"You guys get going. I'll hold them off."
"Let's go you guys and thank you Beelzemon, you saved us." Rika said as they all ran out of the building.
"Of course." the winged Digimon said. "Just be careful."
"We will." she shouted over her shoulder. As they did, the girls Takato, and Takuya met up with the others and Autumn could tell by the look on Kari and Rika's faces.
"Rika?"
"Yeah, Ryo's not himself anymore." Rika said trying not to break down. "We need to talk to Toru and the others."
"Of course." Autumn nodded. "Dynasmon, let's go."
"Autumn?"
"Yeah?"
"You're not going to face him, are you?" Kari asked confused. "We have to go talk to Toru and the others, to learn how to change Ryo back."
"Uh…"
"I thought so." Kari said
"What? Autumn why would you do that?" Rika asked "Ryo is still in there and I know that there is a way to free him."
"Don't worry Rika, I'm not going to destroy him." Autumn said quietly. "Kouichi?"
"Yeah." the dark Warrior agreed and transformed into his fusion form.
"Then what exactly are you going to do?" Rika asked.
"I'm just going to slow him down. Stop him from following you." Autumn told her. "Now GO!"
"Alright, just please don't hurt him." Rika said as she started to run off with the others. "And be careful!"
"Don't worry Rika I won't hurt him." Autumn said as the girl left, but she was too far to hear, Millenniummon on the other hand wasn't.
"Oh please, you think that you two can hold me off?"
"Oh I have a pretty good idea as to that." Kouichi said smiling.
"And I don't think." Autumn said smiling as she stood in front of Dynasmon. "I know we will."
"Yeah right."
"Dynasmon?"
"Right." the knight Digimon said, then Autumn opened her link to her Digimon, a link that only Kouichi knew about. 'Don't hurt Ryo. Just stall him long enough for the others to get back.'
'I know Autumn. Don't worry, you gave your word to Rika, I give my word to you I will not harm Ryo.'
"Rika, are you alright?" Takuya asked as they rode the train into the Digital World.
"No, I'm worried and scared." Rika said.
"He'll be fine." Kouji said also worried, but about his brother, and trying to do his best to hide it. "I'm sure of it."
"I believe that there's a way that we can save him. I'm just scared that it won't be in time."
"I'm sure we'll do it." Takuya said looking at the light half of the two Warriors. He of all people knew what it was like to fight against time. "I'm positive."
"Hey TK?" Kari asked looking at him with a question in her eyes.
"Yeah?"
"I have a feeling that this will involve our crests. Yours and mine specifically."
"I agree, but there may be more to this than we know." TK said.
"I'm sure there is."
"We'll talk to Yorak when we get there." Takuya said.
"Right."
"Why do you think your uncle will know anything?" Takato asked
"Because he's an original." Kari said answering before Takuya could.
"So? Just because he's an original, doesn't mean he'll know anything about Millenniummon." Takato said annoyed.
"Also because he worked for the Overlords for years. That is until we finally freed him and his partner." Kari said equally annoyed.
"Hmph." Takato grunted, and turned to look out the window.
"What's his deal?" Takuya asked Rika.
"You guys…" Sapphire said getting their attention. "Takato thinks of Ryo as his brother."
"I didn't know that." Rika said shocked. " And I'm his girlfriend."
"It's because Ryo and Takato…well they grew up together." Yuuki told them. "It's the reason he's the way he is right now."
"Oh."
"Don't judge him, you guys." Sapphire told them.
"Guys, we're here." Takuya said breaking into the conversation. "And it looks like Toru is already waiting for us."
"Oh good." Kari said "Lets go then, the sooner we can figure this out the better."
"Yeah." Kouji said as they got off the train.
"Alright lets go." TK said and they walked over to Toru.
"I take it that its happened?" he asked Rika.
"Yes. There is a way to save him isn't there?" Rika asked and Toru could see the fear in her eyes.
"If we ask quickly." Toru told them, then he looked around and noticed that one of the five crest bearers wasn't there. "Where's Autumn?"
"She stayed behind to hold him off so we could get here." Kari told him. "She's needed isn't she?"
"Yes." Toru told them. "We need all five bearers that hold the balance of the worlds."
"How do we get her here in time then?" Kari asked.
"I'll go after her." Kouji said quickly. He was worried about Kouichi fighting…he wasn't about to lose him again.
"Kouji…" Takuya said looking at his friend.
"I'll be fine Takuya." Kouji said. "As soon as I get there, I'll send Autumn." he added, then he took off into the light, where it bent, then he was gone.
"Alright the rest of you follow me." Toru told them. "Dinotigermon, you stay here and wait for Autumn, then lead her to us."
"Alright."
"Rika…I know that Ryo told you to stay away, bit do you think you can lead Millenniummon back here?" Toru asked "I mean after we've explained, of course."
"I can try."
"Alright, come on." he said and Toru led them to the place where Cherubimon's castle stood when the Warriors fought him, and the mountain behind it, where Yorak and Azariah were waiting.
"Yorak…"
"Guys…I'm sorry about not telling you about this before hand." he said. "But we had to be sure."
"It's okay uncle, Ryo didn't tell us either, but we understand." Kari told him.
"Kari listen, I have a lot to explain, and we don't have a lot of time." Yorak said standing in front of a set of five stones with a tall one in the middle.
Meanwhile Autumn sighed as she and Kouichi tried to get away from Millenniummon. For some reason Autumn had a bad feeling that sonething wasn't right and they had to get to the others. Kouichi agreed but he didn't know how she was going to get there, when Kouji finally caught up to them.
"You guys!"
"Kouji?" kouichi asked shocked. "What are you doing here?"
"Autumn needs to get back to the others."
"Why?" she asked.
"They need you there." Kouji told her "I don't know why."
"Alright." Autumn said "I'm going, can you too handle this?"
"Yeah, we can handle it." Kouji said, smiling at his twin.
"Alright." Autumn said and she took off. However as she was on her way to the Digital World, Yorak finished explaining about the crests that his neice, Yuuki, Autumn, Taiyou, and TK held.
"So our crests are keys to keep him sealed?" TK asked.
"Yes." Yorak confirmed. "However we didn't expected that Millenniummon had merged with Ryo."
"So what does that mean?" Kari asked.
"There has to be a way to free him, right?"
"Yes, but we need the five crests." Toru said. "Which is why we need to lure him here. Rika that's where you come in."
"Alright. I'll try to get him here." Rika said as she left to get on the train.
"Just be careful." Yorak told her. "We don't know what his plan is, but where he's in Ryo's body, you have the best chance to get him here."
"I will." Rika said
"Hey am I too late too join the party?" Autumn asked as Rika left.
"Autumn…" Yorak said shaking his head. "Good, Kari you and the other four get your crests and get to the stone that has your symbol on it."
"Alright." Kari said as she and Taiyou walked to their respective stones, as did TK, Yuuki and Autumn. Suddenly there was a large blast and a portal opened in front of Yorak.
"He's here! Kari you're first!" Yorak shouted to his niece.
"Right LIGHT!"
"TK!"
"HOPE!"
"TAIYOU!"
"SHADOW!"
"YUUKI!"
"SERENITY!"
"I see now, you're trying to seal me again." Millenniummon said as he realized what they were doing.
"Autumn quickly!" Yorak shouted before Millenniummon could attack.
"Right!" she said however just before she could place her crest in the space under her Kindness symbol, Millenniummon intervened. He was not about to be sealed again. Not when he had just been released.
"I don't think so." he shouted. 'MUGEN CANNON!'
"NO!" she shouted as her Crest flew from her hands and Rika caught it and placing it in the correct slot.
"KINDNESS!" she shouted completing the sealing ritual.
"NO! Not again." he shouted as he felt himself being pulled into the middle stone. "I'll destroy you before you can seal me completely."
"It's too late Millenniummon. You can't survive even in his body with most of your power sealed." Yorak said smiling and Millenniummon realized something that only the two knew about.
"You…you're one of THEM aren't you?" he asked
"You could say that." Yorak said smiling. "Although you'll never know." he added confusing the everyone. "Goodbye Millenniummon."
"NO!" he shouted again as he was pulled from Ryo and disappeared into the stones. Then as the dust settled Rika ran over to where Ryo was laying face down, hoping he was alright.
"Ryo?" RIka asked as she turned him over trying not to over react.
"U-uh…R-Rika?" he asked trying to sit up. "I-Is that you?"
"Yeah it's me." she said softly helping him stand up.
"Uh…i-is he g-gone?" he asked
"Yes." she said smiling.
"T-That's g-good." he said then he passed out.
"Is he alright?" Takato asked running up to them.
"Yes, he's just tired." Rika told Takato smiling.
"THat's good." Takato sighed. "Although, we should get him home."
"Yeah we should." Rika agreed, then she turned to the other boys. "Tai?"
"Yeah I got him." he said coming over. "I'll carry him to the trains."
"Thank you."
"Of course." Tai said as he placed Ryo on his back "Let's go."
"Hey Kari?"
"Yeah?" she asked turning around.
"Do you want to get something to eat when we get home?" TK asked. "Or something like that?"
"I would love to, TK." Kari said giggling. Tai smiling as he both listened and watched the two. Just then Sora walked over to him with a knowing smile and he knew something was coming.
"What's that look for?" he asked
"I know you, Tai." Sora said. "Don't worry so much, you know TK's a good kid."
"Yeah I know." Tai said. "I'm just glad that its over."
"I think we're all are." Sora said. "You know you should take Yuuki on a date when we get back home. Make it official."
"Heh, I plan on doing just that." Tai said shocking Sora.
"Oh well, alright." Sora said.
"Hmm…" Yuuki said looking back worried. There was something that just didn't feel right.
"What's the matter Yuuki?" Autumn asked
"I don't know Autumn, but whatever it is I have a bad feeling about it." Yuuki said. "But don't say anything right know."
"I wouldn't worry about it." Autumn said as Kouichi took her hand. "It's probably Millenniummon's aura still lingering around."
"I hope so Autumn." Yuuki said as she watched her sister walk away. "I hope so."
