Red Warrior of Light here with chapter 2 of Tamer Chronicles. Read on!

"Mom, Dad I'm gonna go pick up Alice from the airport!"-Takato said to his parents. His long time friend and pen pal, Alice McCoy was arriving to stay with Takato and his family. The met when they were four, when Alice stayed with her mother those five years. Takato found out that Alice's parents divorced a year after her birth, so she would go back and forth between them, but a few years later her father died in a car accident. Her grandfather, Rob "Dolphin" McCoy took custody of Alice whenever she stayed in America. When Alice had to leave for America shortly after her ninth birthday, the two made a promise to be friends forever and exchanged emails and numbers.

Unfortunately Alice's mother died a year later, meaning Alice couldn't return to Japan since she didn't have a place to stay. That was until the Matsuki family made a deal with Rob; if Alice wanted to return to Japan, she could stay them for the duration of her stay. When asked if they were sure, Takehiro said they have plenty of room for Alice whenever she stayed. So it all worked out in the end.

It didn't take long for Takato to get to Narita Airport to pick up Alice. He found out that he was a good thirty minutes early. Sighing Takato pulled out his Ipod to listen to some tunes.

A young girl of twelve with blue eyes, platinum-blonde hair in twin ponytails, and dressed in the gothic lolita fashion style walked towards the entrance of the airport with her luggage. She was quite happy to back in Japan and seeing her friend again. "Alice how long do I have to hid in here? I wanna come out and play."-whined a female's voice. The girl now known as Alice merely rolled her eyes before mentally replying; 'Just a bit more BG. We're still in public, and I'm sure that many of them aren't as accepting as Kato and his family.'

"Sigh… Fine but when we get to your boy-toy's place I want out!"-the being known as BG said.

Alice went red when BG called Takato her boy-toy. 'Kato is not my boy-toy! He is a good friend…'

"That you masturbate to every night! I here you every time you moan his name when you please yourself. I even read your dairy; you want to marry him, have his children, and basically fuck him whenever you can. Just admit that you love Takato."-BG countered slyly.

'BLACKGATOMON!'-Alice mentally screeched to BG.

"Uh… Alice you okay?"-a familiar voice broke through Alice's mental rant. She focused on the handsome face of Takato Matsuki. Alice quickly shook herself and ignored BG's suggestions to answer Takato. "Sure just talking to my partner."-Alice said. Takato understood, that was a topic for closed doors. So he led her to the taxi while he put her luggage in the trunk.

"So how's America being treating you Alice?"-Takato asked making conversation on the ride to the Matsuki Bakery.

"Well every damn day there's something new to check, and the digimon tournaments are much larger than here in Japan. You already know that I won the U.S. Digimon Grand Prix, so I plan to see if that so called Digimon Queen is truly worthy of that title."-Alice explained as patted her deck case on her left leg.

"Hmmm… I may enter the Digimon Grand Prix 3 next year. You know give it a try."-Takato replied.

"You're easily on the level to give the bitch a challenge and beat her, so why haven't you?"-Alice asked wanting to know. "The first tournament, I would have faced her in the semi-finals if that guy… Joel I think hadn't stolen my Apocalymon and Gulfmon cards before the battle! Bastard even had the nerve to ask me if I wanted to trade for them after he beat me with them! I knocked him out with a right hook and left. This year, there was a family emergency so I couldn't attend."-Takato explained with a shrug. Alice nodded, thought a part of her made the note to find this Joel and make him suffer for his transgressions against her Takato. The two continued to converse, catching up and seeing what happened to other since Alice left.

"Excuse me, but we're close to the Matsuki Bakery."-the taxi driver said. Takato thanked the driver and got the money ready to pay the fair. In another thirty minutes the two tamers were at the bakery. The two tamers got out, unloaded Alice's luggage, Takato paid the fair, and entered the bakery. "Mom, dad, were home!"-Takato yelled out as he helped Alice with her luggage.

"Oh hi Alice! Your room is already prepared and Takato we need someone to man the cashier as we just got a call for a birthday cake needed in ninety minutes."-Takato's mom yelled out from the kitchen. "Okay."-Takato yelled back. Takato lead his new roomy to her room.

The Matsuki Bakery is quite large, seeing as it used to be a two-story strip mall of four stores before Takehiro bought it and renovated the joint. The first floor was the bakery itself, while the second floor was the actual Matsuki residence. It has four spacious bedrooms and two baths (the regular bathroom, and the master bathroom). Alice found that her room is right next to Takato's. Her room was a neutral whitish-gray, hardwood floor, a full-size bed in upper left corner, a nightstand on the right of the bed, a dresser in the upper right corner, a 48" flat screen TV above the dresser, a full-body mirror nest to the dresser, a desk in the lower right corner, and the closet next to the lower left corner.

"You can get settled in while I work. Oh also so you don't get freaked out; if you see a white fox-ferret that's Kudamon. The tall woman in pink and gold armor is QueenChessmon, and the black on red dino in my room is my partner BlackGuilmon, or BG short. If you see a white and purple digimon, that'll be Calumon, he comes and goes but mostly stays here. I'll explain everything later tonight."-Takato promised as he left to help in the bakery. Alice shrugged before releasing her partner BlackGatomon and unpacking her luggage.

After looking around the room they would be staying in, BlackGatomon commented; "Nice room we got, but I noticed something."

"Notice what BG?"-Alice asked as put her panties away in the dresser.

"That Takato's partner, BlackGuilmon has the same nickname as me, BG. This means that you and Takato have another thing in common with each other."-BG said with a feral smirk. Alice blushed before regaining control of herself; "I don't know what you mean BG."

"Don't play coy with me there are many things you have in common with your Kato; you play digimon using only Virus-attributes, though you throw in some Data and Vaccine-attributes. Hell your first digimon cards were from Takato as a birthday gift; which were my champion form, LadyDevimon, and Lilithmon. You and Takato both have partners who are nicknamed BG. You both like black. You both are into MMA. The list goes on, but I know you catch my drift."-BG explained.

Alice knew that her partner was right, but she didn't know if Takato felt the same way to her. She shook herself from those thoughts before resuming her task.

After a nice family dinner, Takato called a Tamer Meeting in his room. Alice, BlackGatomon, Kudamon, QueenChessmon, and BlackGuilmon were there to hear what Takato needed to say. "I have a lot to explain so no one interrupt me. Okay?"-Takato said. See the nods Takato launched into his explanation; starting from his visions, creating the Guilmon series, to his final vision with Megidramon, to gaining BlackGuilmon, to finding out about the Digital Hazard and being a Human-Digimon hybrid.

An hour later, his audience was simply stunned, well in BlackGuilmon's case just bored. "So you want to unite the thirteen tamers into an official group to not only combat wild digimon attacks, but also this "True Enemy" as well."-Alice asked.

"Yes, the visions showed who exactly are the tamers; Henry and Suzie Wong, Ai & Mako, Rika Nonaka, Ryo Akiyama, my friends Jeri, Kazu, and Kenta, now you Alice, and myself. I already told Kenta and he's on board. There are two others that we need to find, but I get the feeling that they'll reveal themselves when the time is right."-Takato replied.

"I'll help since its clear that this something big, and if you're having these visions, then you have an important part to play as well."-Alice said. She was going to help one way or another.

"You know you can count on me and I'm sure Queen would do anything you tell her to."-Kudamon said slyly with a sly smirk. QueenChessmon's feelings and desires for Takato were one of Kudamon's forms of entertainment. He just loved to tease the mega about her feelings. QueenChessmon merely growled at the rookie, who had the power to become a mega at will, before replying that she'll help Takato in whatever endeavors he took.

"So… you're a hybrid of Human and Digimon?"-BlackGatomon asked wanting clarification. Takato nodded before getting up, retrieving his "Digimon OC" sketch pad, flipping to the page of Mega-level digimon form, placing at his audience's feet before saying; "Digital Shift!"

Several red rings incased Takato in an egg shape, hiding the transformation inside. Takato felt his body shift and change in ways that he couldn't describe; his taking on his Mega-form. When the evolution was complete, the 'egg' imploded, surprisingly not causing a sound or sending any debris in the air. There kneeling before the stunned audience was the digimon known as Tactimon before them.

Tactimon's armor resembled that of a samurai, and is painted black with red flame details. He also wears a dark blue cape. His face couldn't be seen behind the helmet with a golden, flame-like crest welded onto it with a horn sticking out in the middle. On the middle of his chest plate was the Hazard symbol. In Tactimon's right hand was his peerless sword Jatetsufūjin-maru" (蛇鉄封神丸 lit. "Snake and Iron Sealed God").

'By the Sovereigns, he's more attractive than ever now! I knew he's a sexy beast as a human, but as a digimon… DAMN! Wait a minute this means he's more suitable for mate-material! YESSSSSSSS!'-QueenChessmon thought to herself. Thanks to this Digital Hazard, Takato's now primed and ready for QueenChessmon to take him as her mate. BlackGatomon looked at Tactimon with akin to lust, licking her lips every now and then. 'Mmmm, maybe I could get Takato for myself, but Alice will kill me for that. Maybe I could convince Alice we could have a threesome?'-BlackGatomon thought and she tried to figure out her plan for a future threesome.

'Lord Yggdrasil needs to know about this. If the DigiWorld is in soon-to-be danger, then the Royal Knights need to be ready.'-Kudamon thought to himself.

'I wonder what would happen to our children since Kato's a Human-Digimon hybrid, and I'm 100% human? Would they be totally human, or will they be three quarters human and one quarter digimon...?'-Alice thought herself. BlackGuilmon just sniffed Tactimon curiously, noting that his tamer's scent is the same, just more digimon-like now.

Tactimon shifted back to his human form, Takato shaking his head as he still was not use to changing from human to digimon and back to human. Getting his bearings back, Takato sat down and waited for any more questions his audience might have. He didn't have to wait long.

"So what's the plan? I know that you already had the beginning phases of it in mind."-Alice stated. Takato smiled, Alice was always on top things.

"So far I have this..."

The next morning, breakfast was always a happy occasion in the Matsuki Home, full of laughter and cheer. Bad jokes with even worse comebacks, the occasional flying breadroll, and laughs all around. Alice and BlackGatomon were new to this, but thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. Takato's parents made them feel truly welcomed. Suddenly all the digimon, and Takato, stiffened and looked out of the window behind them, BlackGuilmon growling and BlackGatomon simply narrowing her eyes.

"Another digimon is Bio-emerging."-QueenChessmon said, but she also knew that it was a weak one, so she paid it no mind. Her time's better spent helping Takato and BlackGuilmon improve their combat effectiveness.

Calumon's reaction, however, was completely different. "Yay, a new friend!"-the creampuff shouted in glee. His ears extended and he tried to fly out, but was stopped by Takato.

"No you don't Calumon. Not every digimon is a friend. Most likely they're here to take over. Now finish your breakfast and I might take you for a walk in the park."-Takato sternly ordered.

"But..."

"But nothing creampuff! You're an In-training level mon, meaning any digimon of a higher level can and will delete you. I'm not 'bout to let you get killed because you wanted a new friend."

Calumon pouted but said nothing as he did as told. He knew from experience that when Takato called him 'Creampuff', Takato's annoyed and close to losing his composure, and was doing his level best to stay in control. That, and Calumon's cuteness didn't affect Takato as it did others. Just because Calumon might seem stupid and sometimes vapid, he was quite devious from time to time.

Getting back to his breakfast, Takato mentally counted down to Calumon's second outburst. '10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3...'

"But its a new friend!"

"Kudamon!"

"On it Kato!"

"Kudamon's Educational Palm Technique!"

WHAM!

Lights out creampuff! Calumon taking an early morning nap thanks in part to the Educational Palm Technique of Kudamon.

Rika, sighed as she thought about how boring her day started. Her mom was out modeling for a gig since the original model called in sick, while grandma was hanging out with some old friends. With nothing to do, the redhead took to walking around downtown until an idea hit her. Renamon, the ever vigilant silent guardian, watched from the shadows as her partner aimlessly walked around.

("Rika, a digimon is bio-emerging.")-Renamon said through their mental link.

Rika gave a mental nod, before a cruel smile alight her face.

("Then what are we waiting for?")-she replied

Ten minutes later, Rika could see the fog over the treeline now as she ran across the bridge that led to a construction site in the middle of Shinjuku Park. She noticed that there were no people near the field, which caused her to wonder what happened. Every time she and Renamon found a field, there were little to no people around. It was weird in her mind. But those thoughts were quickly sat on the backburner as she pulled out her blue-purple-tinted sunglasses and ran through the fog of the digital field.

'Get it in gear, Renamon, or we'll miss all the fun!'-she silently thought.

Once she made it to the center of the field, she took off her shades and stood a safe distance from the target, which she couldn't clearly make out, but she could see a faint silhouette.

"There it is."-the yellow kitsune appeared next to her Tamer. "Renamon..."

"I'm on it." the fox's eyes flashed brightly for a second, then information on the enemy digimon appeared on the holographic display of Rika's D-Arc.

Rinkmon, the Jetstream of Friendship

Level: Armor

Attribute: Data

Type: Cyborg Digimon

Attacks: Spinning Cutter and Quad Speed Stream

Rika and Renamon smirked at this. Armor-levels were known to have between that of Champions and Ultimates, so they were going to get a challenge out of this. Rinkmon looked upon the arrivals he sensed; a redhead girl and a Renamon. He had heard rumors of digimon partnering up with humans, because it supposedly increased their power. So he came to the Human World in hopes of finding his own partner.

"Hello tamer and Renamon. I would like to know where I could find a tamer for myself?"-Rinkmon asked the duo. This surprised the duo as they were looking to delete him, but being asked by the soon-to-be deleted mon to help find him a tamer was not part of normal routine.

"Why should we help you find a tamer? We could just delete you and be done with it."-Rika said with a scowl. She didn't need to waste her time finding this piece of data a tamer. The result would be the same; her and Renamon deleting him with or without a tamer.

"You know Rika, we should help him."-Renamon said shocking her tamer.

"What?"

"Think about it Rika; if he has a tamer, then we could find them at a later date to challenge them for us to become better. We could use them to gain more battle experience , while at the same time making them stronger as well. It would be a beneficial cycle; as we'll be continuously challenged as would they. Besides we can still delete other digimon, since most won't actually ask for a tamer."

Rika froze as she thought about her partner's words. They could delete any digimon they wanted, yet to allow one to partner up with a fellow human, then they could pose an interesting challenge. As she thought more about it, the more she found Renamon to be right in her logic. If there are other tamers, which she knew there were, then she and Renamon could just seek them out and fight them over and over again gaining more experience . If they were weak, then the constant fighting would increase their opponents' strength. If the opponent would get lucky enough to defeat them, it would push them to become stronger. The perfect cycle to gain power.

"Oh alright."

"Good. Now Rinkmon, in order to find your tamer you must search for him or her. Once you find them, you'll feel this... connection of sorts that means your meant to be partners. A D-Arc (Rika showed hers) will appear cementing that connection."

"I see thank you Renamon for the information. I'll use it well."-Rinkmon said with a nod of appreciation.

"Yeah, yeah, just find you tamer and get stronger so WE can get stronger."-Rika said a bit irritated with this. Living up to his name, the Jetstream of Friendship jetted out of there in hopes of finding his human tamer.

"Now what are we gonna do?"-snapped an irritable Rika.

"Well our hidden guest should do, but it seems it's too cowardly to face us. We are quite dangerous."-Renamon said with small smirk. Said hidden guest showed herself after being called a coward. She'll show that fox! She's no coward!

"I'll show you who's a coward you filthy fox!"

The digimon was an abnormally large swan being white/and silvery gray in coloration. Said swan wore silver and gold armor around her neck/chest and her legs and feet.

Swanmon

Level: Armor

Attribute: Vaccine

Family: Bird Digimon

Attacks: Feather Tornado (Down Tornado) and White Wing Flapping (White Marie)

'The armor-level form of Gatomon, huh? I've always wanted to see how I'll fare against the digimon of the DigiDestined. I guess this is as close as I'll get.'-Rika thought to herself with a smirk. "Renamon walk all over her!"

"Diamond Storm!"

"Feather Tornado!"

The storm of diamonds met the feather blades, the attacks canceling each other out. Renamon used this to her advantage by going on the attack. Swanmon was caught off guard by the move, taking a dropkick to the face. Renamon kept up the pressure by launching a barrage of punches and kicks, knocking around the armor-level swan. It was glaringly clear to Rika that Swanmon is not the type for battle, if how easily Renamon was knocking her around is any indication. Releasing a sigh, Rikla decided to end this farce of a fight.

"Digi-Modify! Vaccine Crusher and WereGarurumon's Engetsugeri (円月蹴り; lit. "Circle Moon Kick"), activate!"

Renamon instantly felt the power boost, and smirked at the battered swan before ending this boring fight.

Phasing in front of the now stunned swan Renamon launched the final blow of the fight.

"Engetsugeri (Circle Moon Kick)" The attack rent the swan in two, before dispersing into data that was quickly absorbed by Renamon.

"That was a decent fight. Lets go Renamon. Maybe another fool will appear to entertain us."

Matsuki Bakery

Calumon was still knocked out, so Takato turned on the X-Box 360 and put in Gears of War. He invited the others to play, but only Alice accepted. BlackGatomon opted to play on the Matsuki's computer, intent on finding some online poker and blackjack games. Queen chose to read a new book she and Mie's ordered from Mie's book club. Kudamon went to play on Takato's Nintendo DS-I since it was the only thing he could play with his small paw/hands.

"Oh! No more head for you!"-Takato cackled as blew the head off of Alice's character. Alice blushed slightly as the sentence Takato just said can give one the wrong idea, though she wouldn't mind giving Kato some head. She shook herself from her thoughts so she could focus on payback.

"You know the saying Kato; Payback's a bitch!"

"Well then show me just how much of a bitch you are!"

For the next two hours later, the two tamers went all out against each other. Sounds of explosions, screams of pain, pseudo insults/innuendoes were heard through out the room. At one point BlackGatomon told them to shut the hell the up so she could concentrate on winning the $250K Blackjack game. The tamers quieted down, only to hear BlackGatomon's cheers of victory ten minutes later.

Takato and Alice decided to count up their kills; Takato with 140 to Alice's 127. Alice suggested they play her Burnout Paradise, with her going to get the game and her memory card. When she came back, Alice was smirking and it Takato feel uneasy. The two got their game on for another two hours, with Alice dominating this time. By the end, Alice had 170 takedowns to Takato's 150. Seeing that they've been inside for four hours, Takato decided it was time for that walk in the park.

An hour later, the two tamers were close to the Gulimon Shed and the Tamers' Meeting spot. Along the way Takato explained why the place was perfect; being secluded and away from prying eyes. Alice had to agree once she had a mental picture of the spot. They were only fifteen minutes away from the hut when they felt this weird feeling up and down their spines. The feeling one gets when they know they're being watched.

"I really don't like being out in the open like this... I feel exposed."-Takato muttered as the quintet walked alongside the chainlink fence that separated the clearing from the trees.

"I get the feeling that we're being watched T-Man."-Kudamon said low enough that 'stalker(s) couldn't hear, but loud enough for his comrades to hear.

"I know Kudamon. One is very proficient at hiding his/her presence. The other is hiding on the edge of my senses."-BlackGatomon said lowly in the quintet.

"Could it be that Rika-girl Takato?"-Alice asked, knowing that it probably was.

"Yes... I can feel it. She considers us prey to her predator, so she's stalking us like lion does its prey. On guard guys! Queen let us deal with this, but if goes south, come out and finish it."-Takato said, getting a mental reply from the Mega that she understood. BlackGuilmon went Viral, BlackGatomon was tense like her partner, and Kudamon was ready to Warp Digivolve to his higher forms if need be.

"You two can come out now, we all know your stalking us like the creepy rapists you really are!"-Takato exclaimed with smirk. Alice also smirked since she could that Rika was very proud and arrogant, a very dangerous weakness.

A red-haired girl the same age as Takato and Alice appeared with a scowl on her face. Her partner, a Renamon, appeared the same way QueenChessmon appears/disappears. She was the Digimon Queen; Rika Nonaka. The tamers and their partners stared down their potential opponents. "Humph... a googlehead and wannabe goth. This will be easy. I hope you can entertain us."-Rika says with a smug expression.

"So you just gonna attack us for no real reason? Jeez you humans are do like conflict."-Kudamon said nonchalantly from his place on Takato's shoulders. Rika regarded the fox-ferret on Takato's shoulders, her anger beginning to rise at the thought of the googelhead being better than her by having more than one digimon partner.

"While that is true some, it is not for all Kudamon. Come on guys we have better things to do than deal with a crotchety red pineapple and her wannabe ninja of a guard."-Alice said as she and BlackGatomon began to walk away.

Takato was doubled over with his hands on his knees trying not to laugh at that; Rika "The Digimon Queen" Nonaka called a crotchety red pineapple! Kudamon chose to outright laugh at the girl and her Renamon. BlackGatomon snickered, while Alice's smile widened. BlackGuilmon wanted to know what a 'crotchety red pineapple' was, but knew that his tamer would tell him after the battle was done.

Rika went red from a combination of embarrassment and rage. "I was going to have Renamon go easy on your little pets, but now you've gone and pissed me off. Renamon, walk all over 'em!"

The group winced at the lameness of that catchphrase. "Damn, that just sucked! No wonder all those digimon died. Your lame ass catchphrase was so bad that they killed themselves off so they wouldn't have to here any more of your sorry ass phrases."-Takato said with a irritating smirk.

Rika's face grew redder as she yelled; "Renamon! Take out the googlehead's pet dino!"

"Digi-modify! Hyper-Speed activate!"-Takato yelled as he slashed the card. The card caught both Rika and Renamon off guard. "Rock Crusher!"-BlackGuilmon shouted as his dark-energy incased claw smashed into Renamon's jaw with such force that she was sent several feet away and landed with a loud THUD!

"Digi-modify! Power-boost activate!"-Rika growled out. Renamon jumped high in the air before shouting; "Diamond Storm!"

"Digi-modify! Omnimon's Supreme Cannon!"-Takato countered. BlackGulimon launched the frigid, absolute zero blast destroying the shards and honed in on Renamon.

"Digi-modify! WarGreymon's Brave Shield!"-Rika growled out. The shield bearing the Crest of Courage appeared in Renamon's hand and protected her against the Supreme Cannon. With the attack over, Rika kept Renamon on the offensive. "Digi-modify! Stegomon's Guillotine Wheel!" Renamon turned into a living saw and launched herself at the black dino.

"Digi-modify! Hyper-Wings and Imperialdramon's Positron Laser activate!"-Takato said. Glowing white wings erupted from BlackGuilmon's back, and combing them with his still active Hyper-Speed, blasted Renamon with the Positron Laser, clashing with living saw that was Renamon. Soon the attacks canceled each other out, sending Renamon to the ground but she landed with preternatural grace and skill. BlackGuilmon floated in the air his gold eyes staring at his opponent.

"Digi-modify! Magnamon's Magna Punch and Kick!"-Rika shouted. Renamon blurred out of sight before appearing in front of her saurian foe before delivering golden punches and kicks to the black dino, and sent him crashing to the ground. But BlackGuilmon just stood up as if unfazed by both the attack and the fall. Takato had to admit that Renamon was impressive; using her immense speed to gain the altitude needed to attack his partner.

"Digi-modify! Gargoylemon's Freezing Wing!"-Takato called out with a plan forming. The Several white gargoyle statues formed and flew towards Renamon, who used her still active Magna Punch and Kick to destroy them creating a thick blanket of icy fog. "Now BG!"-Takato shouted. This took Rika and Renamon by surprise as Renamon flew out of the fog after being hit with BG's Pyro Grenade. "Now try on our own Magna Punch and Kick!"-Takato called after slashing the cards. Renamon was able to right herself and entered into an exchange of fisticuffs with BlackGuilmon.

"BG! Remember that move you saw on Monday night Raw!"-Takato called out. BG reacted quickly, catching his foxy opponent and performing a vicious T-Bone Suplex (Exploder suplex lifted and twisted into a modified powerslam). Renamon grunted at the unique offensive move, and thought that she could incorporate the move into her arsenal. Rika had to wonder if this gogglehead had his petmon watch WWE.

"BlackGuilmon! End this! Digi-modify! Lucemon Chaos Mode's..."-Takato couldn't finish as four voices, as one, yelled out.

"STOP!"

The group looked as quartet appeared; two humans and two digimon. Takato recognized the blued-haired Henry Wong. His orange vest, black short-sleeved shirt, and dark brown pants were his main stay. The girl had pinkish-purple hair in twin buns, making her look like an ox. She sports an embroidered vest, unitard and athletic shoes, as well as studded wristbands. The vest being dark purple, and the unitard being black. The digimon were white/green and chocolate brown/pink respectively. A Terriermon and Lopmon.

Renamon made her way over to Rika's side, so the two of them could inspect the new arrivals. Alice, BlackGatomon, BlackGuilmon gathered near Takato. BlackGuilmon still viral and waiting incase these new arrivals are a threat to his tamer.

"Henry and Suzie Wong, partners of Terriermon and Lopmon."-Takato said aloud, shocking them as the 'googlehead' knew their names. "You're Takato Matsuki. We go to the same school."-Henry said to Takato.

"Matsuki? Wait don't your parents own the Matsuki Bakery?"-Suzie asked. Takato nodded an affirmative, causing Suzie to smile. "Sweet! I come to your bakery all the time for the sweets. Lopmon just can't get enough of your cinnamon rolls."-Suzie said, causing Lopmon to blush. Those cinnamon rolls were excellent!

"Anyway, just why are you two fighting in the first place?"-Henry asked going into peace keeper mode. Suzie rolled her eyes at her brother, wondering who she pissed off in a past life to get a such a pacifist as a brother.

"I was merely defending myself from the Rika "The Crotchety Red Pineapple" Nonaka, and the wannabe ninja... uh whatever she's called."-Takato said with smirk as he thumbed over to Rika and Renamon, who he purposely 'forget' her name. Terriermon, Lopmon, Suzie, Kudamon, Alice and her partner busted out laughing at the 'crotchety red pineapple' part. Rika and Renamon bristled a bit at the comment.

"What are your digimon fighting about, anyway?"-Henry asked.

"To see if the gogglehead and the goth were a challenge for me and Renamon."-Rika scoffed.

"So you just attack them in broad daylight just so you can see if they're a challenge for you?"-Henry exclaimed in shock. He knew there were stupid reasons to fight, but in his mind this one took the cake. Why would you attack someone just to if their challenge?

"You see earlier today we ran into a Rinkmon who asked us if we could a tamer for him. I scoffed at the idea and was about to have Renamon delete him, when she propose we let him find his tamer. She explained about how we could find them later and continuously challenge them whenever we want. We won't be fighting with the intent to delete the tamer's digimon, but with the intent to become stronger."-Rika then turned and walked away.

"A beneficial cycle for both parties; the continuous fighting helps the both of us gain more experience."-Takato realized in shock. This was far from the cold-hearted loner he saw in his visions. She was... different from what he gleamed from the visions, which meant that things were changing... he just didn't know if for the better or worse.

Rika smiled despite herself, the gogglehead being smarter than she thought. "The gogglehead got in one go! I have to admit that this was the most fun I had in sometime, and that you're skilled. I actually want to see if you could have beaten us. Lets hope that next time we can actually have a clear victor."-Rika said as she left leaving behind a stunned Takato. Unknown to them, Rika was having some unusual thoughts, in her case unusual. 'He's kinda cute! What the fuck? I didn't just think that did I?'

"Well that was surprising. Didn't expect to get a compliment from her of all people. Well lets go guys."-Takato said as his click left the clearing.

"Wait where are you going?"-Henry asked having not given his speech on senseless fighting is. "Home so I don't have to hear your speech on how we should all get along. If you wanna talk more, follow your sister to the bakery when she comes by for her usual order."-Takato called over his shoulder.

"I'm done with you guys!"-Henry called out.

"And why should we waste our time listening to the likes of you?"-Alice spat at the blue-haired tamer.

"Wha..."

"You go around and interject yourself in other people's problems and preach about peace and love like you better than others."

"Now wait just a..."

"No! You wait! Do you really think that you can keep doing this 'prophet of peace' thing and expect to walk away from the conflict each and every time? If you do then my ignorant friend are a dumbass. Do really think you can through life avoiding conflicts just because you dislike fighting? If you do, then once again you're a dumbass. Some day your views will get you or someone close to you hurt or worse!"-Alice said and turned on her heel and left with her partner in tow. Disgust filling her being at knowing such a coward is a tamer

"She's right you know. Sooner of later you're going to stick your nose in the wrong conflict and you walk away from it intact... or alive. There are those who refuse to listen to reason and will attack for either the fun of it, or no reason at all. I don't like fighting, but there are times you have to fight; either to protect yourself of someone you care about from harm."-Takato said as he too left after sealing BG in his D-Arc.

"I was just trying to... ACK!"-Henry yelped as he rubbed the back of his head. Terriermon snickered as Henry looked at his twin sister with wide eyes.

"You know I ask myself everyday who I pissed off in a past life to get you for a brother. You refuse to see that every time you try to end a fight, you make yourself target for those you love to fight? You can't get involved in any conflict you see just because of what happened with Terriermon. You're gonna end up pissing of the wrong person!"

"But Su..."

"Don't but Suzie me Henry Wong! Answer this question; what would you do if I was attacked? If I didn't have Lopmon with me. Now would you try to talk the attackers off or defend me?"

Henry was about to answer when his brain finally made connection with all the points being made against him. He would try to talk the supposed attackers out of hurting Suzie. If they were the type that didn't listen to reason, then they would attack him so it'll be easier to attack Suzie. Henry lowered his head and clenched his fists. He was so set in his ways that talking things out was his first response to conflict he faced.

Suzie, seeing her brother's face and knowing that her brother may have finally seen the light.
