Betamon: So Tamer's are dead?
Gomamon: Nah, he's not that stupid.
Riley: Well it is F.t, you know how he likes to kill off Destined, it's almost like he prefers the Bad guys.
F.t: Do not, just you DMB. It's not like I won't give Jeri a sweet revenge for taking out Takato.
Gomamon: wait, does that mean that it a Jerkato?
F.t: no, it means that D?????mon will die a horrible death, annihilated beyond recognition.
Riley: Well you could start that by getting this chapter up.
F.t: yeah, I guess. You know the drill, I don't own, and only Betamon and Gomamon sue for animal abuse (well, that is if you consider digimon Animals, cause they sure act like ones) Well, and maybe all the Tamer lovers out their for killing off the coolest characters in the show, but hey that's business.
(Everybody Sweatdrops)
Betamon: You mean that an evil digimon paid you to write a fanfic where the Tamers died? Mon, that's messed up, and that's coming from a dark master.
Chapter 6 The Claws of Courage
The girl had her headphones on when she noticed her targets coming around the corner. She turned her ipod off, when the older brother and sister walked past her, she said a few simple well chosen words, and "Your digivice is going off, Tai."
Tai stopped as he heard this; there was nobody else on the street. He looked at the redhead with her headphones on, which she took off. His sister looked at him, "where is your Digivice Tai." She asked.
Tai looked at the redhead, "I always keep it on me, I would know if it went off, so what ever kind of sick joke you're playing, it isn't funny." He started to walk off.
"Even when Sora fills your thoughts." The girl said fiercely and quietly.
Tai spun around, "Are you implying something."
"Yeah, that you're a Gogglehead, and as in the case of Goggleheads, you're too prideful to admit your wrong. Agumon's in trouble and your standing here like nothings happening." That blew Tai off the hook, normally it wouldn't, but he was cursing himself for making Sora walk off like that, he reached down and swiped his digivice from off where he always placed it on his pants.
"See its right here," Tai trailed off. He wasn't holding anything in his hand. "O,"
"Check your soccer shorts; you left it on them after you took a shower."
Tai looked at the red head strangely, she reminded him of another red head he was just with, who also seemed to always know what he was doing. He shuffled through his bag, and sure enough wrapped up in his towel was his soccer shorts with his digivice still on them. The girl had spoken true, it was going off. "That must have been why I couldn't hear it." He said out loud realizing how much clothing had been around it. He looked at the red head again.
"I've already got the closest entry point programmed in, so it will only take me a second to boot this thing up." The red head said as she grabbed a Laptop out of her backpack and hit the start button. "Cari, I need you to get Joe as fast as possible. If this is going to work, you're going to need to be able to go as the crow flies."
Cari looked at the red head in shock. How could she know about that, not even Matt know, just her, T.k and Tai. It happened two months ago when she and T.k. had gone to the digital world together; the first thing they had noticed was that both her's and T.K's clothes were different from what they normally were in the digital world. They hadn't thought much of it at the time, but it was a foreshadowing of what was going to happen. She didn't like to think of it much, but to summarize it up; there was a change that had happened on both of them. The final result, was astonishing, T.k. had green hair that hung down around his head pretty lazily, really rather pretty if you asked her. His shirt had gone a dark black, and his pants turned a dark gray. His eyes had changed to a glazed purple, and her's glazed to light brown. Her hair also changed a little bit, growing everywhere about inch and a half, with even more on her side bangs and the back of her hair, her forward bang hung down to around her nose. Her clothes changed to a light cream and her belt became a small black belt with no buckle, just a strap. Then came those accursed wings. There was no point in dwelling on it now, Augumon was in trouble and he needed her help
She replied in a voice of confidence, which astounded her brother, "do you know where he is?"
The redhead nodded "He's taking a technology test. It's in the building Izzy always hangs out."
Cari looked around, and seeing nobody, started running down the street at full speed, she grabbed her jacket off and threw it to the ground. Next she ripped a cord into two that held her wings pinned and close too her. Leaning forward she let instincts take over.
Tai watched his sister take off; it was an amazing thing to see her fly through the air. "Wow, she's never flown before," he said out loud, then to himself, "Thank you Cari, you're risking everything so that Augumon might live, thank you. He got back to the task at hand. He noticed the red head also watched his sister take off, and started to wonder how she knew, when even Matt didn't know, and he was T.K's brother.
"You ready," the girl asked as she got her digivice out, which Tai noticed was different then any he had seen before.
Her partner appeared right next to Tai, scaring the sludge out of him. The fox got on her knees, "Whenever you are."
"Then let's go," Tai said in a boyish tone.
Never stopping
never stopping
never stopping now
ohh ohh ohhh
ohh
ohh oh
here we go
ohh ohh ohhhh
There was a flash of light and some random kid picked up the Laptop just left their a few hours later.
"Hey Yolei," Cody called out as he stepped outside the door.
"What's up?" She asked.
Cody pointed up, "Their, I thought I just saw an angel Digimon fly overhead."
"Yeah so, what?" Yolei asked at the younger kids' confusion.
"Well, don't you think we should find out what's up, I mean are friends could be in danger and need our help." Cody told her bluntly.
Yolei shook her head, "It's something else Cody, I mean it's not the first time Cari or T.k. used their digimon to move around faster." She looked up at the sky, "and you know that, so what's up.
Opahmon looked up at Cody from his arms, "I didn't feel any digimon nearby, so what are you really afraid of Cody?"
Cody looked at her and his digimon in grief. Every other time he had put forth a suggestion the rest of the Digi-destined just shot him down. He was hesitant to say anything anymore.
"Well, do you want me to digivolve and find out what it was?" Hawkmon asked pulling Cody out of his trance.
Cody shook his head, "No, it's just. Oh I don't know, whatever it was,"
"Well come on already spit it out." Yolei was starting to get bored and she still had some homework to do.
Cody looked at his friend and her digimon, "Have you ever seen an Angelic Digimon with only one pair of wings?"
Hawkmon looked at Cody "Please tell me you didn't see what I thought you saw."
"Huh?" Yolei looked at her partner confused.
"No, this isn't good not good at all." Hawkmon shook his head.
"Opahmon digivolve to, Armadillomon."
Armadillomon looked at Hawkmon. "You don't think the legend could be true, do you."
"I don't know. It prophecies that all who know of it will be long dead for thousands of years before it happens." Hawkmon was worried.
"We're still alive though, that's got to count for something, doesn't it?" Armadillomon, who was usually pretty relaxed about these kind things, was worried.
"Well, technically it should, but do remember, we where sealed up in time for
Quite a few years, so maybe that threw it off." Yolei was getting paranoid at Hawkmon's tone.
"Alright you two, what's going on?" She almost yelled.
"Yolei, call a meeting together, we'll tell you their, but as for now we need to talk to Veemon." Hawkmon and Armadillomon flew and ran off.
Cody was worried, "I hope I didn't cause more panic then needs be. I don't even know if that's what I saw."
Yolei looked at her young friend. "I don't know, I just don't know."
Betamon: Yolei wouldn't say something like that.
F.t: That's nice, you're interrupting the story.
Gomamon: What, You just completely took a character out of context.
Joe looked blankly at his test. He was taking a course on computers and data since he had been convinced to become a digi-doctor. Problem was, he just didn't understand any of this stuff, he was barely scraping anything above a B-. Luckily for him he had gotten Gomamon also to take this class as he would be helping Joe out a lot in the next coming years. It was really quite sad when his digimon scored higher grades then he did. In fact Gomamon had over 100, and the next highest was a 92. Then their was 2 people with 90 and another 3 with an 87. Then came Joe at an 82.
It wasn't that he couldn't understand it. It was, well, he didn't know, just every time he understands something he compares it the Digital World and how it worked and their would always be some slight figure off, or some major anomaly. So he would spend all his time on that single thing and try to figure it out, while getting behind in everything else. The worst part was that when he showed the Teacher his findings of the anomalies, the teacher would just brush it off and tell him that he had gotten his figures wrong. So Joe would go back and double and triple check them. Heck he would even have Izzy check his figures out. Izzy would check them, tell him they we're right and go back to whatever he was doing. It drove Joe insane, he was here to learn, not memorize facts.
He calmed himself down before he did something he regretted. He thought of the face of a girl, one that not even Gomamon could have suspected. He smiled too himself, he got back onto the test. He was about half way done the teacher stood up in the middle of the class.
"Excuse me students, Joe, will you and Gomamon come on up." Joe walked up just as confused as his partner was.
"Uhhh," Joe said as he got up to the teacher.
"Joe, a girl by the name of Cari says she needs to see you. So take your thing and get out of here." The teacher spat out. Joe glared at the teacher. His teacher actually wanted him to fail, or maybe it was just Gomamon… could his teacher feel threatened by them. Gomamon had the highest grade in the class, and he kept showing him anomalies in the equations. It all made sense, Joe smiled to himself for once ever since he started all of his technology courses.
"What's that grin about," the teacher asked scornfully.
"Just thinking about exactly what you're doing." Joe said with an even bigger smile.
The teacher's tone could acidic and tried to tower over Joe, but Joe was 6 foot 3. Their was no way he was going to be able to tower over him. "Exactly what do you mean?"
"What I mean, is that you're scared." Joe stood up to his full height. He saw the teachers eyes widen in surprise and Joe knew he had won. "You're scared of me and Gomamon."
"Why on earth would I be scared of a clutz like you?" The teacher said, thinking the battle one. Everyone knew of how much of a clutz Joe was, it was his biggest downfall.
Joe smiled at his teacher's pride, "I may be a clutz, but I don't pretend I don't not know something." Joe looked over his class and started speaking to them. "I have an 82 in this class, why, not because I'm lazy, but because I find anomalies and problems in the equations he gives us. I go over my figures a million times, and they still don't add up."
"Yeah, some things just don't add up Joe. Like how on earth a weak clutz like you ever became a digi-destined." The teacher knew he had hit Joe hard enough to make him falter. He almost stumbled as the reaction came from somebody other then Joe.
"You big wuss," Gomamon shouted pointing his claw at the teacher, "You are so scared that me and Joe are smarter then you. Joe shows you things that you should be trying to figure out. But what do you do, you just say that he must have done his figures wrong when Not ONLY JOE HAS GONE OVER THEM, BUT IZZY TOO." The whole room went dead silent. If what Gomamon just said was true, then the teacher had said that the person who figured out the Data-Matter Transfer equation was wrong. The Data-Matter Transfer equation was so complex, that top scientist who had tested yet, figured it to be just a bunch of random numbers Izzy had put together, of course those few scientists willing to go through and actually test out the equation, where shocked beyond belief on how accurate it was.
"Not only that, but you've placed questions on the tests that we don't even learn about for another 5 chapters. Just so you can seem better then a single lousy DIGIMON." Gomamon was pissed beyond all belief. "Come on Joe; let's let this idiot wallow in his stupidity in peace."
Joe smiled and left the place seeing Cari standing outside with a mixed expression on her face. "Why did you call me?"
"Agumon needs help, fast."
"Well that's the last of them, mate" Derak said as the last Otamamon jumped out to sea.
"So do we get to go out for ice cream now," CrAbmon said looking up at his partner hopefully.
"Yeah that would be awesome, can we?" Betamon said popping out of the water. He had gone down to make sure nobody was hurt on the trip and that everybody was swimming alright.
"Now look what you started," Derak said in his Australian accent looking at his blonde American friend.
"What I started," Michael (Don't forget to put in his accent on what he says) said with mock hurtness, "I'm sorry my poor friend your going to haft to blame that one on Joe."
"Well, I'll give you that mate." Derak said laughing, then pausing for a sec he continued, "However, I could go for a spot of rocky road."
"You actually like that stuff?" Michael asked in surprise, "I'm sorry my dear friend, that's just not my style I prefer a nice soft serve, swirl of course."
"I could dig in for a bite of orange sherbet." Betamon said having his stomach growl.
CrAbmon was drooling at the mouth, "Eh, superman ice cream."
Everybody else just stared at him. "You actually like that stuff?" His partner asked.
"What, it's not that bad." Betamon made the sickening gesture by sticking his claw down his throat. Which CrAbmon pinched his claws at?
"Well, we might as well go get some ice cream; otherwise these two will never stop bothering us." Derak said giving up.
"What do you say we go grab it in Odiba, we should probably report this incident to Joe." Michael said.
"Are you sure their's not an alternative reason mate," Derak teased.
"What," Michael said confused, "no."
"Yeah, I get to see Palmon again," Betamon shouted as he jumped off the raft into the water.
"Well, maybe." Michael confessed.
Derak laughed, "don't worry, I won't tell her mate. So what do you say we go get that ice cream?"
Matt walked out of the studio only to run into Ken, "Hey, whach you doing here." He asked surprised.
"Soccer practice just got over so I thought I might get a chance to hear you play." Ken said innocently.
"Sorry dude, I just got over, maybe if you come by early tomorrow." Matt said leaning with his back against the wall, "Soccer eh, don't you have a game against Tai's team Friday."
"Yeah, Tai and Sora's that is." Ken shuddered at the thought, and then shuddered at the look Matt gave him.
"Yeah, Tai and Sora." Matt said quietly and almost sadistically. His look reminded Ken of one he used to give as the Kaiser.
Wormmon, who was oblivious to Matt's tone, spoke up, "Yeah, Yolei said that Ken was going to get his pride shattered into a thousand pieces as Tai and Sora wipe the floor with his sweat."
"Yolei said that," Gabumon said amazed, "aren't mates supposed to support each other."
"Yeah, that's right Gabumon," Matt said with the same tone as before, "They're supposed to support each other." Ken could swear he could see extra heat radiate off of Matt. He changed the subject quickly.
"You know Davis is on my team."
"Really," Matt asked curiously, which relaxed Ken, "I thought your team only recruited the best."
"Are you saying I'm not the best Matt!?" Davis said walking around the corner, "I'm better then that lowlife brother of yours." Ken was astonished at the harshness of Davis's words, was this really the same kid he was having fun with in soccer practice.
"Just because you can beat my lowlife brother in a game where's he's never even touched the ball doesn't mean that he can't kick your but in Basketball." Matt said coolly. Ken shook his head; he didn't think he would ever understand those two. He looked at his watch.
"Come on Wormmon, we gotta go." Ken walked off. It was kind of rude just to leave like that, but something about how those two were acting scared him.
"Later," Matt and Davis said at the same time.
"Digi-Modify" Rika shouted as she slashed her card through her D-Arc. "Hyper Speed activate." Rika watched as her digimon sped up ten fold and grabbed Biyomon out of the way of Puppetmon's puppet pummel.
Biyomon looked back to thank her savior,(hoping that maybe somehow Agumon was alright and was the one who had pushed her out of the way), and almost dropped out of the sky when she saw who it was that saved her.
All the digimon, except Renamon naturally, were astonished at what she had just done, but Puppetmon was easily the most astonished. "How on earth did you survive, KITSUNE?" Puppetmon said angrily, "You, the Green bunny and Chaos are all dead, dead you hear me, you can't possibly have survived."
"Yeah well, I guess where just full of surprises aren't we, Renamon." Rika said casually taking out 4 cards.
"Yeah, right, like a few power ups are going hurt me." Puppetmon laughed, "Its four rookies up against a mega, you got to be kidding me."
"He's right Rika, even with modify cards, unless I can digivolve, we're toast." Renamon said straightly.
"And without the Catalyst, you can't even digivolve, so I guess I'll just finish the job Daemon started." Puppetmon laughed and picked up his hammer slowly walking towards Rika.
"Digitize it, I need Computer brain here. He was the one who could always find the weaknesses." Rika said angrily, she looked at her cards, she knew how to use them, but unless they could find a weakness, they couldn't do a thing to him.
Weakness, Patamon thought, what kind of weakness would Puppetmon have, Fire of course, but even then, unless we disabled him, he could still wipe us out. Patamon looked Puppetmon over, and saw a small burn mark on his arm. "Of, course," Patamon shouted getting Puppetmon to look at him. "Boom Bubble!" Patamon let his attack fly; landing it straight onto the burnt part of Puppetmon's left arm. Wood splinters blew everywhere.
Biyomon had got the hint when Patamon attacked and she was right next to Puppetmon when he recovered, "Mega Peck!" she shouted as her beak became a jackhammer on Puppetmon's arm.
"Hey, get off," Puppetmon said as he tried to slap Biyomon away. She dropped away in the nick of time and flew away about ten feet.
Rika already had the perfect cards out when Gatomon jumped over Puppetmon back. "Lightning Claw!" She shouted as she took a chunk out of Puppetmon's weak arm and leapt away.
"Power Paw!" Renamon shouted as her energy filled feet landed right on his arm she jumped back and surveyed the work she had done.
Puppetmon was oblivious to what was really happening, was getting angry at them attacking him in the same spot making him, I mean it made him feel a little bit of pain, he was a dark master, he wasn't allowed to feel pain from rookies. "Fine, you guys want to play dirty, let's do this. PUPPET PUMMEL!" He shouted as he launched his attack at Rika, but as he brought the hammer down to release the orbs his arm snapped, spinning the hammer harmlessly away; with his arm still attached that is.
Unluckily though, the hammer was still sending yellow energy orbs everywhere, the Digimon managed to dodge them, but one hit Rika in her left shoulder and another on her right thigh. "Awww," She cried out as she fell onto the ground.
"Rika," Renamon shouted teleporting over to her. Rika stood up on one foot, Renamon could see the determination in her eyes; she wasn't going to let a stray attack keep her down.
"Renamon, what would you say to some mega data." She said fiercely with anger in her voice, and her cards and digivice in hand.
"It would be a fabulous welcoming present," Renamon said slyly she stood in front of Puppetmon in her dual stance.
"Wha?" Puppetmon wondered. How could they possibly think that they could beat him? Even if he lost his hammer, he could still control them with his strings.
Rika knew her right arm was useless, even though she was left handed; this was still going to be tricky.
Izzy had been able to see everything that was happening, quite amazed at the strength of the girl taking two hits from the orbs of energy and still going. He had cursed a few times as he found out they where going up against a Mega, and he couldn't find Tentomon anywhere. He turned back to the scene, and couldn't believe his eyes.
(Start
Music)Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Monster friends to the boys and
girls
The screen around Rika turned black; it reminded him of what digi-evolution looks like when watching it from an outside source.
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Rika threw her digivice up into the air with her left hand, and fingered a spinning card.
Champions of the Digital World
As her digivice came down, she swept her card through the slot on the side.
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Izzy watched as the card broke apart into two physical layers and one data layer. He watched as the info was read and placed into Renamon.
Ultimate friends to the boys and girls
"Digi-Modify, Meramon's Magma Blast Activate," Rika shouted as she pulled her card out of the slot as the digivice fell to the ground.
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
"Let's do this," Renamon said calmly,
Champions of the Digital World (Fade Music)
"MAGMA BLAST!" 3 huge balls of magma shot out from her body, "MAGMA BLAST! MAGMA BLAST!"
"What," a surprised Puppetmon shouted, "that's impossible," all 9 magma lobs struck his body, "NOOOO." He lay on the ground, just barely holding his data together.
Rika limped over to him and put her foot on his chest, "No one calls Renamon a Kitsune." She pressed all of her weight onto him, shattering him into a million data particles. Renamon smiled as she downloaded Puppetmon's data, then fainted from using a highly powered champions attack, Magma blast, with no power additives and 3 times at that.
Rika staggered, having suppressed a lot of pain in her traveling over to Puppetmon. She sat down next to Renamon and fell asleep; the other digimon could only stare.
Joe looked around, all he could see was sand, he looked at his digivice, their were two coordinates, one was blue, while the other was the normal red. Joe looked at Cari, who said, "One is Tai, the other one must be the red head."
"Red head," Joe asked curiously.
"We'll explain tonight if we live that long." Cari told him. Joe nodded and headed to the closer dot, the blue one. Cari went the other way and moved to
"Joe, Gatomon, Patamon," Gomamon started, "one that's slightly familiar, but I can't place my nose on it. Biyomon's their too." He said as he pointed a rise, "and Tyranomon, lots of Tyranomon." Gomamon paused, "Joe I think I should digivolve."
"Really, what gave you that idea," Joe asked sarcastically. Gomamon smiled.
"Ohh, I don't know maybe I should just take them all on at my rookie stage, it would be fun." Joe just looked at his partner, and before he could say anymore, had Gomamon digivolve.
"You're no fun." Ikakkumon said, lumbering his way towards the blue dot.
Tai had ran to Agumon when they had entered, hoping that the other digimon where only conversing with the Ultimate and not fighting it. Or what he hoped to be an Ultimate, it was either a stronger then average Ultimate, or a weaker Mega, anyway, either way, unless the Red head's digimon could go past Champion, they were in big time trouble.
Betamon: Uhh,
F.t: I don't like Puppetmon, so I made him really weak, Problem,
Gomamon: Yeah, but lets wait tell the end of the chapter.
Tai shook his head; I can't be thinking about that, Agumon's in trouble. Tai burst into a sprint.
"Agumon" he shouted as he saw him lying on the ground, "Agumon, are you alright."
Agumon didn't respond. Tai knelt down next to his pal; he was tore up pretty bad. To the point where Tai could see some of Agumon's wire framing. "Oh, come on Agumon, you haft to be alright, I don't know what I would do without you," Tai said as tears started to form in his eyes.
"AGUUUUUUUMON!" Tai shouted to the sky. As he and Agumon were encompassed by an orange light.
Tai looked around, he was in a white field, but that wasn't really what he noticed, what he noticed was an Agumon in front of him that didn't have missing parts of data stripped from his body. "Agumon." He shouted as he hugged his buddy.
"Tai," Agumon said in his normal tone, "we don't have time for this." He got sad, "I, I don't have much time."
Tai was kneeling next to his orange buddy. He understood and looked Agumon square in the eye. "What is it?"
Agumon stared into his partner's eyes, testing him, seeing if he really understood the gravity of the young dino's situation. "That, girl, Rika's her name, she's from another quadrant."
"What do you mean another quadrant," Tai asked carefully.
"You know how Azulongmon just got back." The orange dino said.
"Yeah," Then Tai understood, "wait, you mean, the four quadrants, are real." This was news Izzy needed to hear.
"More then real Tai, Azulongmon just got back from the one that girl is from, trying to protect it from the D-reaper, an enemy stronger then ten series of ten different dark masters."
"By Azulongmon's beard," Tai cursed.
Agumon was surprised to hear his partner use digi-cursing, but then decided not to dwell on it. "Their's more. That place, it's where me and Gabumon as Omegamon went when we chased Apacalymon"
"You mean, she's one of the one's who defeated him, after he digivolved twice." Tai was astonished beyond all belief.
"Yes, and she helped destroy the D-reaper." Tai just sat on his but in disbelief.
"She's that strong."
Agumon nodded, "As Omegamon, me and Gabumon received a call from a small digimon, all it said was, please, protect him."
"Wait, both Rika and her Digimon are female. Who's the him." Tai was confused.
Agumon looked down at his feet. "Well, the call came from a female LoPmon. We hurried as fast as we could, even borrowing power from Azulongmon, we where still a second to slow.
"What do you mean a second to slow." Tai looked at his buddy, knowing how hard it was this was fro Agumon.
"We, well, even at Hyper speed, the girl, she , she was the farthest, the farthest from the Attack." Agumon started to break down and cry, "We were to slow Tai, we we, we were to slow."
Tai patted his buddy's back, "Agumon I wish I knew how I can help."
"Make me a promise."
"What?" Tai asked.
"Protect her. That's all I ask Tai, protect her." Agumon looked up at his partner desperately.
"Agumon, how, your about to be reformatted, and even with you, how can I protect somebody who's taken on evil's we couldn't even imagine. I can't even hope to help her." Tai was in despair, he couldn't even fulfill his friend's final request.
Agumon smiled, "you didn't think I would require something of you you couldn't perform, do you."
Tai smiled, "You have something?"
Agumon looked at his partner, "YOU have T.k,"
Tai smirked as he got his implication, "yeah, I guess I do."
"And you have this," he held out an orb of energy.
"What is it." Tai asked.
"This, this is part of the power of that girl." He said bluntly, seeing Tai's confusion he went on, "you recognize the symbol."
Tai nodded, "the girl had it on her bandanna, and her digimon had it on her hand."
Agumon had also known this. "Yeah, I know."
"How did you get this," Tai asked in astonishment.
"It happened as we were bringing her to this world. We met, some sort of barrier." Agumon sighed, "It was powerful, we almost didn't make it through."
"What happened." Tai asked slowly sinking in what Agumon had said. He could tell his buddy didn't want to talk about it.
"She threw herself at it, to protect us and her digimon. Then her power manifested. She was as astonished as we where. Conversing with her digimon later, we found out that that was the first time it had ever manifested itself." Agumon went silent.
"What was the cost," Tai said realizing why this was so hard for him to talk about.
"Her memories Tai, every last one of them. Her memories of everything from her quadrant." Agumon went silent.
"So, she lost everything, to save you." Tai looked at the orb. "I'll see you in Primary village Agumon, I've got red head to save." He grabbed the orb.
"See you there." Agumon said.
Cari saw her brother enveloped in the glow next to Agumon. She was running to him when she stopped. Tai got up and was holding an orb with a symbol she recognized as the one on the red head's bandanna, yet she recognized it from somewhere else as well.
She watched as Tai put the energy next his digivice, and their was a bright flash.
Izzy was astonished at the scene, it had blacked out again, just like when a digimon digivolves, or when that girl had used that card. Except all that was shown was Tai's digivice. Then a black and white energy shot around it, forming a symbol behind it.
DIGIVICE SHINKA
The digivice was encompassed in an orange glow.
TO
The symbol wrapped itself around the Digivice held the orange glow to encompass the digivice.
DIGIVICE OF COURAGE
Cari just stared as Tai held in his hand a digivice of unusual shape.
Tai held his digivice around the spikes of the edge, "I've got a girl to save, lets' do this.
Izzy watched as once again the background went black, except this time Tai was standing their with his at his side and his new digivice in front of him.
"Let's Do this," Tai muttered. He snatched the Digivice from the space in front of him and snapped his arm down.
"DIGIVICE DIGI-MODIFACATION, DIGI-WEAPON"
Izzy watched astounded as Wargreymon's claws appeared on his arms, fully armored and all.
Tai walked over to his sister with a glare in his eye. "Can you carry me?" he asked.
"Do you even need to ask?" She said as she ripped her sweater off. "Just be careful, those claws of yours are made of chromedigizoid."
Tai put one claw in front of him, "don't worry I would never harm you." Cari shook his head, "yeah right" she muttered under her breath and picked him up. They flew towards the other two digivices registering.
Joe was surrounded on all sides, Ikakkumon was wearing down and the Tyranomon had already taken out Gatomon and Patamon. Biyomon had been able to dodge their attacks by flying around, but they where getting closer and closer. Joe felt something on his shoulder. "Get Ikakkumon to de-digivolve," the red head said.
"But all of his attacks need water though." Joe said surprised that she didn't know that. He and Gomamon were fairly popular.
Rika was leaning on Joe, if he moved; she wouldn't have the strength to stand up. "Here, swipe these through here." She pointed to the slot on her digivice. "The first one's a sleep walker, it allows for a digimon to perform an attack while asleep or unconscious."
"And this one's Hydro Shell," Joe said, "it'll produce enough water for Gomamon to use as a shield."
"You're not as dumb as you look." She said.
"Hey, I'm getting a doctorate's." Joe responded back.
"Well, maybe I shouldn't judge a book by its cover, then again, you are a nerd."
Gomamon stood next to them. "Excuse me, you are talking to the King of Nerds, address him properly."
"Where about to be turned into data; and all you can do is insult me." Joe said kind of paranoid.
"Terriermon's worse." Rika said bluntly.
Gomamon turned around, "YOU know Terriermon?" Gomamon asked surprised.
"Gomamon, you can ask questions later." Joe said even more paranoid.
"Oh, yeah right I'll get right on it." Joe slid the cards through the slot on the strange digivice.
"Three, two, One, Drop." Cari let her brother drop as she broke out of her dive. "AAAAAHHHHH," She heard Tai yelled as he launched himself into the back the neck of a Tyranomon with his claws. He pushed off the digimon as it shattered into a billion pieces, and slammed into the one right beside it with the back of his claws sending it flying 20 feet and shattering into a million pieces. 2 Down, 63 to go.
"What, I had wanted to duel, WarGreymon, so what's this." A voice said behind her. Cari spun around only to find somebody she thought dead.
She pointed to swirling wall of water, "our friends our trapped in their and we need to save them." BlackWargreymon nodded.
"So you want my help."
Cari nodded, "Please."
BlackWargreymon stared at her, "be careful light, I've heard things on my end of the spectrum. I can't say what because of my loyalty to the Virus type, but just be careful." BlackWargreymon flew off in Tai's direction, who had just back flipped down onto Tyranomon, splitting him in half. Cari froze up, the other end of the spectrum, did he mean, the dark ocean. She thought she had gotten rid of the place forever, even Ken couldn't accesses their anymore. She shuddered.
Cari did a downward dive into the swirling water, hoping to see Gatomon their.
Tai laughed as BlackWar took out a Tyranomon beside him. "Hey, I didn't think we'd ever see you again."
BlackWar looked at the kid weird, "did you just laugh, when I took out that Tyranomon." He questioned slicing one in front of him into a billion data particles, which he noticed went into the swirling water.
"Blame these claws, they give me a rush." Tai said jumping up and Terra Forcing three of Tyranomon.
"I get that," BlackWar said jumping back from an attack, "but how did you get a hold of his claws anyway." He dashed forward slicing the Tyranomon, "did you knock him out and steal them from him."
"Heard of something called the Inyỡ" BlackWargreymon stopped in his tracks, only to get run over by Tyranomon. Pissed, he leapt up into the air and threw the Tyranomon down into two others destroying all three.
"Don't ever say that again near me." BlackWar said fiercely.
Tai was taken back, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize I would offend you." He went on wiping out the Tyranomon. The silence ended after he had destroyed another 5 Tyranomon.
"How's he doing." BlackWargreymon asked crushing two Tyranomons skulls together, shattering them both into data.
"Not well, he'll be reformatted within the hour." Tai said bleakly.
BlackWargreymon flew up and looked at the Tyranomon, their was about 15 left. "Think you can handle them."
Tai nodded, "what are you going to do."
"His digivolution will be slowed tenfold if he's reformats. It's that twice accursed attack Puppetmon used. I'm going to see if I can't go and somehow restore him."
Tai nodded and got to work on the last fifteen.
Sora ran to the group and put her hands on her knees out of breath, noticing that she was the last one to arrive. They had called a meeting on account of something that happened today, or that's all she got out of Tai's quick phone call.
"Took you long enough." Tai said bluntly.
Rika glared at him, "you were the one who chased her away. I'm surprised she even came." Tai stared her back down. This was the girl he had promised to Agumon he would protect, the one who had lost her memory, and had a power even she knew nothing of. He looked down at his digimon. Lying next to Koromon was a DarkKoromon. Both where fast asleep as the process had caused him to gain another digimon, and wore them both down a massive amount.
Rika leaned up against the tree as Izzy broke the silence, "ok, first things first, Tentomon, roll call."
"Ok, people and mon, you've done this before, call yourselves out one at a time and I'll mark you off." Tentomon said in his green coat and ball cap.
"Koromon present." Waking up for a second, then going back to sleep.
"DarkKoromon here," he said sleep talking, "Hey pretty birdie, wanna play"
Tai sweatdropped at DarkKoromon's comment and said "Tai present."
"Gabumon here."
"Matt"
"Sora"
"Biyomon"
"Izzy"
"I'm here" Tentomon said making a check by his name.
"Palmon's here"
"With Betamon at her side." Gomamon rolled his eyes.
"Mimi's here."
"Michael"
"Joe"
"Gomamon"
"T.k"
"Cari"
"Patamon"
"Gatomon"
"Yolei's right here."
"Cody"
"Armadillomon"
"Hawkmon present"
"Veemon here"
"Davis here by Cari's side, like always." Tai and Matt rolled their eyes this time.
"Ken,"
"Wormmon"
"CrAbmon"
"Derak"
"Rika"
"Renamon"
"I believe that's everyone Izzy." Tentomon said looking at him.
Rika made a small chuckle as Izzy got every thing together. "Ok, we have a lot to go over tonight, it may take awhile, so be patient." Izzy said, "Here's how we'll do it. First we'll have all social things to go over first, then anything having to do with the new enemy." Several eyebrows where raised at that. "Then we'll the events of today. If anybody has something to bring up after that, then we'll discuss it but, we'll be hard-pressed for time, as we have a ton to talk about. So first things first, all social things, who has something."
Matt was the first one to speak up, "I've got a rock Concert in two weeks, so I'll hope you'll all be their." Everyone nodded, and Matt smiled, "I'll also have a few dedicated songs to a few of you, so I'll hope you'll all be their."
"We've got a game Vs Tai and Sora Saturday. And everyone could really use your guys support." Ken said. Rika gave herself a small chuckle as she knew what Ken meant.
Yolei was thinking along the same lines as Rika. "Really, more like you and Davis could use the support, Tai's team is ranked as #1 in the eastern world. What you'll guys need is for us to be handing you your towels as you guys pour out more sweat then an Ogremon's armpit."
"EWWWWW," Everyone cringed.
"Really," Mimi said in her high voice and her pink hair, "that's totally awesome." Everyone laughed at her sarcasm, but Rika wasn't quite sure if it was sarcasm, more of that Mimi wasn't really listening. Rika shook her head as Mimi went on, "We'll me and Michael have something to tell you guys."
Michael groaned, "Do we haft to do this now Mimi, it's not like it can't wait."
"Of course we do sweetie." Mimi turned back to the group, "We'll here it goes." Mimi hesitated.
"Well, what is it Mimi," Sora asked curiously.
Their was an odd silence for about 10 seconds, Betamon spoke up, which surprised everybody "Michael proposed to Mimi, and I'll get to spend lots more time with Palmon." He did a standing back flip and Palmon blushed.
Tai's jaw practically hit the floor, Yolei went hysterical, Sora couldn't stop congratulating her friend and Matt got out a piece of paper and started writing some new lyrics to a brand new song he was gonna sing at the concert. Joe, Rika noticed, was about the only one who still held onto his sanity, well, she had her's still, of course.
"Is it true Mimi," Joe asked. He knew the answer, but he wanted to hear it from her.
"It's true." She looked Joe square in the eye.
"So," Joe stared back at her, "when's the date?"
Mimi hadn't expected that question coming from him, but answered it without flinching. "2 months."
Joe stared her down, "you guys have your own Apartment yet."
"We have our own house, but we're not allowed to move into it tell we get back from our Honeymoon."
Joe looked away, "congratulations" he said quietly. Only three people had noticed this conversation however, Rika, Michael, their digimon and Ken, who was wondering about being in Michael's shoes in a few years, except with Yolei instead of Mimi.
Rika rolled her eyes and was thankful when Izzy finally managed to calm things down. "So if anybody doesn't have anything else," he looked around, and when no one commented, he went on "I'm having a paintball party Friday. I've already got all the gear set up for everybody, including the digimon, so bring some clothes to get painted and no tie-dying me this time.
"Why not," Immediately came the reply from Tai, T.k, Michael and Sora.
"But I could get paint in my hair and ruin it." Mimi said rather loud and whiny.
"Ehh, Mimi," Tai said sweat dropping along with Sora and Joe. "Isn't that the point of paintballing?"
Everyone laughed. Michael leaned over next to Tai, "Lucky bum, at least Sora likes to do that kind of thing, she'll have my head if I tried to organize something like that."
Tai laughed at his friends comment and his thoughts fell upon the redhead standing next to him as he leaned up against the tree. He also noticed Rika was leaning up against a tree a few feet of from the group, but he couldn't see Renamon, the strange red head's even stranger digimon.
Izzy was finally able to get things back on track, "Now onto a few things more serious. Puppetmon."
Several digimon narrowed their eyes. "What of him," Rika asked, "he's gone now, so what's so important."
"In all honesty Rika," Izzy stated, "I don't think that a rookie, even 4 could take him out. He's a mega," Izzy started thinking, "He must have done something to clone himself and made a false version which you destroyed."
"No he gone," An unknown voice said, "that was him." Izzy spun around, to see a kid; he estimated 15, who was holding a Betamon. The Betamon had been the one who was talking, he jumped down from the kids arms.
"Yoush," Sora and T.k cried.
"Hey," Sora said, "long time no see."
"Yeah, well, I've been busy." He replied.
"Yoush," Tai asked raising his eyebrows questionably.
"I met him while I went off in my search for you." Sora said, "Then again with the last incident." Tai didn't press more.
"So can we trust him," Matt asked her.
"Yeah, we can." T.k was the one who spoke up this time. "He's helped me and Cari out a few times as well."
"So, how do you know that Puppetmon's not a threat?" Izzy asked, getting back to the subject.
"Don't worry," Michael's Betamon said acidly as he looked the other Betamon square in the eye, "if we can trust his word, he would know." He stared at the new Betamon for a second. "DMB."
DMB looked at his counterpart, "you know, I'm sure Joe would like to know why you where called MB before you met Michael. Or why you where in the real world in the first place."
"MB, DMB?" Izzy asked, trying to stop a fight he new was coming.
"Michael's Betamon," Yoush answered, "and DMB, he'll tell you what it stands for when he's ready. It's how Betamons identify each other."
"So, what about the other kinds of digimon?" Cari asked.
"We put an emphasis on different places in our name," Gatomon purred.
"Yeah," CrAbmon said, "like all the Otamamon we rescued today, their was OtaMamon, OtAMAmon, OTamamon, and so on and so forth. On my name, you put the emphasis on the a, so it's CrAbmon, not Crabmon."
"Well that makes a whole lot of sense." Davis said. Everyone else sighed and shook their heads.
Yoush broke the silence and grabbed some items out of his backpack, "oh yeah, I have some thing for a few of you." He picked up DMB and handed him to Michael, "take care of him tell you can meet his tamer, he's a tricky one, so keep your eye on him."
Michael grabbed him, "why do all you Betamon weigh so much."
"It's in our data," DMB replied.
Yoush laughed and turned to Izzy, who he gave a small device, "here, this should help you with figuring out all of those equations."
"How much does it hold?" Izzy asked.
"25,"
"Twenty-five Gig's, I can buy ones a lot better."
"Try Terra's" Izzy almost fainted.
"That's pretty nice," Joe said astounded.
"No, its better then you think. Their RAM's" Izzy really did faint and fell on top of Tentomon. Tentomon cried out in pain, then succumbed to his fate of being his Izzy's pillow and fell asleep. Most of the group sweatdropped while Rika just shook her head.
Yoush grabbed out a whetstone out of his pocket and tossed it to Tai, "here, this should keep them sharp, it's also made of Digicromazoid, so it shouldn't break, but be careful just in case." Tai nodded understanding.
He grabbed two straps he had on his shoulder and tossed one to T.k, and then Cari, they both understood and put them in their pockets. "Their ones that Gennai had custom made, they also have a cameo device on them, so you don't need to worry about always wearing a sweatshirt." Most of the group was baffled, but the one's who knew, where quite relieved to say the least.
He looked at Joe, "Shibumi said he put some things in Rika's pack for you. They should help you with the data-particle transfer. Of course, he also probably left you the guidebook."
Joe looked over at the 5 foot 10 girl, he stood a good 5 inches higher then her, as she tossed him a bunch of gadgets, they where a manasury of things. He could tell what some were used for, yet most of them didn't make much sense.
Rika tossed him the Guidebook, "this is the instruction manual that came with it. I tried reading it, but it didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Maybe you might be able to understand it better."
Joe looked at how thick the book was. "Is this what you meant by, "of course, he also probably left you the guidebook?"
Yoush nodded as Gomamon grabbed the book from Joe, "give it here, you probably wouldn't understand it anyways." Joe kicked his partner who cried out in pain and threw the book up, and you've seen these kinds of things happen; I don't need to explain the never ending cycle of beat, grab.
Yoush looked away as those two fought over the book. He still had one more gift before he gave Rika's her's. He looked at Ken and tossed him a small little item. Ken recognized it instantly, "but, won't this disrupt the balance." He questioned.
Yoush laughed, "the balance is already upset enough that this isn't going to cause a difference, besides wouldn't you like to know what Stingmon's true Ultimate is?"
Ken nodded, "but, I've been hearing him lately." Yoush didn't look surprised, he shrugged his shoulders.
"You expected him to leave, he's just as much a part of you as the light is of Cari, or Hazard is of Takato, it's something you can't do anything about. Besides, he does give good advice, does he not."
"Well, I guess he does," Ken replied.
"Who's him," Yolei asked suspiciously, "our you holding something out on me, Ken."
Ken took a step back from her, "no, of course not, I would never, do something like that." He looked at Yoush for help.
"You're on your own buddy." Ken just gulped.
Yoush turned to Rika and met her eyes. "Where is she," He asked.
Renamon appeared next to Rika, "you mean me?" She asked coldly meeting his eyes. Yoush tossed a sack to her, which Renamon caught with ease. "What are these."
"Take a look and find out," He said sharply. He was kinda of disgusted at himself for actually doing this, but also knew it was the right thing.
Renamon and took a look in the bag, and looked straight up at Yoush, "I thought you said we were one of a kind."
"You are."
"Then, when."
Yoush smiled, "You didn't notice, the data transfer flow happened right in front of the sovereign."
"Are you saying they forced this?"
"They didn't force it, you and chaos were well along for doing it on your own, but the sovereign thought that it would not be wise for the two of you to raise them. So they made it happen before anybody would suspect and then wiped your memory."
"Then you stole them."
"Yes."
Renamon put the bag on the ground, and kneeled in front of him, "I am eternally grateful and in your debt."
Yoush nodded and faded into the shadows before anybody could say anything else.
Davis was the first one to notice him gone, "hey where did he go?"
"He has some things he needed to do," Was all Renamon said.
Patamon finally broke the silence after a few minutes, "well, what's in the bag." He asked curiously.
"Yesss," Gatomon purred, "what is of such great value as to steal from the sovereigns." She licked her paws.
Renamon pulled out two eggs, one was Yellow and had the Inyỡ printed all over it. The other one was Red and had the Hazard sign decorated around it. "I've never seen those eggs before," Patamon said curiously, "and I've helped out Elecmon a lot."
"I've never seen them either," Hawkmon said curiously, "and I flew over primary village a lot when it was still in it's prime."
"Because, these eggs, the original version, were created by an outside source." Gomamon raised his eyebrows questionly at Renamon, and seeing her non expression, knowing it was true.
"Yes, you are correct" Renamon said quietly, "but please do not speak of it." Gomamon understood and turned back to the group.
"So many secrets," Tai mumbled.
Matt, who barely heard him, then said "We all have secrets Tai, even me."
Tai looked at his friend, "Secrets? I don't have any," Tai cut himself off as he stared at Cari and T.k. "Ok, maybe I have one."
Matt laughed, "Told ya,"
Sora laughed a little, "ok, enough of the games guys, since Izzy's in LaLa land over that new gadget, some of us would like to know what happened today."
Tai chuckled a little bit, "ok, you guys wanna know what happened? This is what happened. My digivice started going off about 4:30 this afternoon."
"Actually," Matt interrupted, "I think it started this morning."
"This morning," Rika said softly, "this morning when my friends where still alive and I still had my memories." Nobody but Joe was close enough to hear.
"What do you mean Matt?" Ken asked curiously.
"My digivice went off saying that Gabumon digivolved to Omegamon." He replied.
"Which indeed I did," Gabumon started, "We heard a call from a digimon asking a plea of protection for a loved one." All eyes turned to Renamon, who was now standing in the tree above Rika "no, it was not her."
Koromon started speaking next, "we had just barely been able to save Rika and Renamon, but the others, they, we didn't get to them in time." Koromon looked sad and Sora picked him up.
"Don't say anymore." Sora said stroking Koromon's head. She turned to the group, "so lets get this straight. Omegamon saved Rika's life and then came back to this Quadrant."
"Quadrant?" Izzy asked.
"Their's four of them," T.k answered, "all have a different sovereign ruling over them and they each have a real world connected to them."
"Wait, you mean the Quadrant theory is real?" Izzy asked.
"yeah, it's real." Renamon replied.
"Wait, if their's more then one world in this dimension. Prodigious!" Izzy shouted.
"Huh?" Tai asked. "What's so great?"
"Well, it explains a lot of the anomalies I have been finding in the system."
"You do realize, Izzy," Tai told him, "that none of the rest of us understand a word you say."
"What," Izzy blushed and put one hand behind his head, "oh, yeah, I forgot."
"So what happened next that was important enough to call a meeting." Sora asked getting things back on topic.
"Let's speed this up a little bit, the details aren't important." Rika said, "Puppetmon attacked Agumon in an effort to destroy him. I went and got Tai and took him to Agumon. Tai ran to Agumon and I ran to help out the other Rookies who were fighting Puppetmon. We destroyed Puppetmon," The was some muttering about that, "and where then surrounded by Tyranomon. Gomamon and Joe where their by that time and where able to hold the Tyranomon off tell Tai and BlackWargreymon where able to take them all out."
Their was quite a bit of murmuring about that, and what was real and what wasn't, it mostly came from the three Youngling's.
"That still leaves out what happened with you Tai." Sora said looking at him and at her watch, "and make it quick we only have a few minutes tell we all need to leave."
Tai nodded, "after I left Rika, I went over to Agumon. He was on the ground hurt really bad. He was able to communicate to me though. He gave me a power that transformed my digivice into this." He left out the part about the power being the symbol on Rika's bandanna. He held out his digivice, which was now in the shape of the Crest of Courage, several digimon stared in awe.
"This new Digivice allowed me to fight with Wargreymon's claws. I had met up with Cari who had come over to help me while Joe went and helped Rika. As we got their, we saw wall of water Gomamon had made. I started deleting all the Tyranomon when BlackWargreymon showed up. He then asked how Agumon was doing, I told him bad and here I am with another digimon to take care of."
Izzy pondered all this, "We need to be getting home, so we'll talk more about this incident when we go paintballing, there are some key parts I'm going to study and see what I can come up with." Tai nodded.
"You know something Izzy?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, I was able to watch everything from my computer, I couldn't seem to find Tentomon in the digital world," he blushed, "umm, it , he turned out to be helping my dad with the garbage."
"So you saw everything," Rika asked suspiciously, their where something's he didn't need to know.
"Not everything, there are a few things I find suspicious, one of them being how Tai moved so fast from where Agumon lay to the battle. I had minused the window to try and find Tentomon some more, but when I brought it back up, Tai had already wasted like 6 Tyranomon."
Cari and Tai looked at each other, both swallowing in their throats; it was DarkKoromon, to their surprise, who came to their rescue. "Tai has astonishing jumping abilities when he has his claws, what's so astounding about that."
"Well I guess, so, but another things been bothering me. How did you get he?"
"Stop," Tai said interrupting Izzy's question, "you really heartless you know that."
"I'm the digimon ice Queen Tai," Rika said drilling holes into Izzy with her eyes, "I'm not so easily effected by trivial things."
Izzy was going to ask about the cards but seeing Rika's look, decided against it. "well, we better get home, the curfews in half an hour."
As everyone started to disperse, Rika started following Tai and Cari home. "Do you live near us." Tai asked suspiciously.
"Of course she doesn't." Cari told her brother, "she arrived in this world today."
"Oh yeah I forgot." He said. "wait, Mom and Dad aren't home."
"That's why she's going to stay with us." Sora said from behind his back. "I'm mean, it would be nice to have somebody else stay at our apartment." Tai sighed knowing full well that he wasn't going to win this argument. He decided to give up before he got really embaressed.
"Great, not only do I have my girlfriend in my apartment, but also 5 digimon, my little sister and a girl from another dimension, what's a kid to do." Tai sighed in defeat.
"I'm only going to be their for a little while Tai, it's not like I'll be their tell you move." Cari told his brother jumping on his back.
"No, just until T.k gets his own apartment." Sora cringed as Tai said that.
"Ouch Tai, I didn't think you were going to be so blatant about that." She replied laughing. Rika just laughed with her new roommates, even having lost her memory and home, maybe she could still feel at home with these people.
You didn't think I'd leave the other Tamers hanging, do you?
Takato fell out of the machine with a plop, "AEMON." He shouted as he passed out. His parents ran to him and grabbed their unconscious kid in the biggest hug they could possibly give him.
Next to them the red lizard known as Guilmon fell out of a similar machine tube, and started snoring right away, only stopping to say "me have Guilmon bread now, please." Takato's dad chuckled a little bit when he heard that.
Takato woke up an hour later, "everybody Biomerge," he said before he could get a good look at his surroundings.
"Relax Takato," He heard a familiar Chinese accent say. "Where the only one's in here." Henry was sitting up on a bed, they where in some sort of bare hospital room.
Takato took a look at his friend. Henry seemed to be alright, expect that he had two pairs of lime green stripes in a horizontal position coming from his cheeks over to his mouth. They where each about half an inch thick he estimated.
"I see you finally awake." Yamaki said behind Takato, startling him.
He turned towards Yamaki, "how did I end up here, last thing I remember is that we where in a cloud of Azulongmon's when we saw Daemon right outside it."
Yamaki let Mr. Wong answer this one, who took a deep breath, "Daemon destroyed all three of you and your Digimon." Takato was about to say something when Henry grabbed his shoulder and squeezed it. Takato got the idea.
"We thought we had lost you all, when Shibumi snatched you guys away from the Jaws of death. He collected all of your data and put it in storage unit, since then we've been working around the clock to reconfigure you guys."
"How long has it taken?" Takato asked rubbing his eyes.
"Two weeks," Takato was surprised; he had literally skipped his timeline for 2 weeks, fairly interesting.
"So what about our digimon." Henry asked standing at Takato's side.
"Where just doing a few tests on them." Yamaki said, "Their data codes where a bit harder to put together, so we need to make sure nothing's wrong with them."
Takato noticed something in their voices, "what happened." He asked.
"What do you mean," Mr. Wong asked suspiciously.
"Some sort of mistake happened, other then the fact that Henry's got some of Terriermon's data on his cheeks, something worse happened, and I want to know what it is." Takato voice was firm.
Yamaki walked out the door, "you tell him, then give them some time alone."
Mr. Wong nodded, then turned back to the kids, "I had hoped you wouldn't figure it out so soon, but I guess their's no helping it. Rika, Renamon, their data, it wasn't their, it just wasn't their. We don't know what happened, Daemon didn't absorb it, their wasn't any data near the place, it was just missing, as if they had never been their at all. I know I just sprang that onto you, but I'm sorry." Mr. Wong walked out of the room as Takato just stared at a spot on the wall.
Henry sat down on the bed in shock, "Rika, our ice Queen, gone just like that…how, nothing… nothing could hold Rika down before, how is it possi."
"Shut up." Takato said quietly.
Henry was startled, then understood what Takato had really said. His friend was taking this ten times harder then he was. He grabbed his friends shoulder carefully. "Takato it's not your fault you didn't kill her, this was something way out of your control. Their was nothing you could do."
"I took her their… I …I … made her come…"
"you know that's not true Takato, she would have come anyways, you can't hold someone like her back from what she want's to do."
"no… it was my fault Henry… my fault… I'm the leader, I'm supposed to watch… watch out for everyone…It's my fault she's not here… I should have been the one to have their data missing…"
Henry's eyes widened as his friend looked up at him, on his forehead was the Hazard sign printed in black, flashing, while he best friends eyes started to fill up with red.
"and I'll do anything to reverse my mistake… anything."
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, what do you mean two weeks have passed here when only a day has passed in the adventures.
Riley: Dang that's' a long chapter.
Betamon: I'll say, but what a way to end.
Gomamon: I like it, especially because Henry finally has some Green on him, although it does clash just a little bit with the Orange, oh well.
Betamon: you can't have everything.
Gomamon: Oh, and just one thing before we go. WE SO CALL DIBS ON .HACK//DIGIMON or any variation thereof, so in all your faces.
Betamon: Calm down, we need to finish this one first, but yeah, DIBS ON .HACK//DIGIMON
Green Egg: We'll this sucks.
Lopmon: and it's not over yet, you'd be willing to go Two Years without seeing ME! I'll SHOW YOU MISTER.
Guilmon: Is dad going to make Takatomon's Son Bread, Takatomon.
Renamon: (Watching Rika chase Guilmon while standing next to Takato) now, to help out my partner or my mate.
Takato: Good question, good question.
Renamon: Either way we become enemies
Takato: So we should just duke it out right now?
Renamon: Sounds good.
