After a while of follow the ice princess's tracks they ran into again and that when everything went the rest of the group escape in time a juggernaut ripped apart theta zone but Rika and Kae were left behind and fell into a seemingly bottomless Abyss I hope they are ok?
Digimon Keepers episode 9 "Rika & Kae's Bogus Journey"
"What do you mean we are not going after them" shouted both Takato and Davis in stereo.
"We cant if we use the digitizer to go there it will crash it because what left of theta zone after the use of juggernaut has left it unstable we have to wait to see if they actually survived, and Yamaki is in the process of finding a safer way in" said Izzy.
"Why can't I use the way me and my friends entered it?" asked Takato.
"No that leads to delta zone the farthest area from where you want to go" said Matt placing his hand on Takato's shoulder.
"I can't just give up on them Rika is my friend" said Takato with his face down, clinching his fists.
"I am not saying we were, it's just dangerous for us and her to go there it would be like killing her yourself and commenting suicide an act of idiocy" said Izzy.
"I know but it doesn't mean I have to like it" said Takato storming
"Calm down Takato! Renamon and Rika can take care of themselves" said Henry.
"Momentai" said Terriermon holding up his paw in a peace symbol like gesture.
"Leave me alone" said Takato nearly taking a swat at Henry as he turned and ran out the conference door.
Shattered Theta zone-
Rika groaned as she got up slowly
Where are we said Rae who was sitting across from Rika rubbing her head.
Rika looked around and all around them was computer code shining with a blue light she stopped when she caught sight of Renamon, she ran up to her checking if she was ok.
Renamon awoke at the touch of Rika and instantly stood up saying "I am Fine that was a along fall reminds me of the last time we entered the digital world"
"That was Extreme" said Yasyamon as he appeared right beside Kae flexing his pecks.
"That was kinda prodigious" said Kae adjusting her goggles.
"It was gnarly to the max" said Yasyamon still posing like a surfer dude and sounding like deeper voice version of the bus driver on the Simpsons.
"We better find are way back follow me your prodigious leader will guide us home" said Kae pointing in some random directions.
"Excuse me who made you leader" Rika asked with a hint of irritation in voice.
"My goggles duh they are the symbol of the leader" said Kae
Rika Looked directly into Kae's Eyes for a few minutes then sighed "smiled for a second saying ok lead the way"
"Why did you put up with her" Renamon asked confusedly amused.
"She reminds me of Takato" said Rika watching Kae as she got onto the back of Yasyamon.
"I feel sorry for her" said Renamon looking at Kae and Yasyamon.
"Why is that" asked Rika curiously.
"Having a partner like Yasyamon so far he's been so annoying" said Renamon.
"You can say that again" said Rika slightly laughing until she caught jumping in and out of the shadows.
"Hurry up Rika your lagging behind" shouted Kae.
"Digimodify Digivolution activate" said Rika slashing a card through her D-4
Renamon Digivolves to… Kyubimon.
Rika get Kyubimon's back and who ran fast to catch up with the Yasyamon.
"Did you see that thing too Rika, what ever it is we better stay on guard" said Kyubimon
The scenery never changed for miles all it was black with the same glowing number flying in a stream of 1's and 0's everything other then that was lifeless.
Let's stop and rest said Rika as they stopped to take another look around, she stepped off the back of Kyubimon, sitting down.
Kae grumbled ok fine as she did the same thing as Rika pulling the goggles from her eyes as she sat down.
"As leader I should have been the one who said when we break remember that next time" said Kae
Rika wasn't paying attention she was still focused on the thing she saw earlier, what was it anyway and was it hostile or not.
"I always dreamed to travel through the Digidestined in the TV series and now I am living that dream but traveling the road less traveled, what made you interested in the digital world" said Kae looking up at the flying numbers.
"All I was interested in was battle and making my Renamon stronger, to make her Digivolve so I could be the best tamer, now Renamon is more then my partner she is my friend" said Rika placing her hand on Kyubimon stroking her soft fur.
"Yasyamon is my friend too" said Kae placing her hand on Yasyamon's foot
"Yes chicks dig my coolness" said Yasyamon sitting down beside Kae.
"Something is watching us it's the thing from earlier, but this time it's not alone" said Renamon.
"Wonder if it's the ice princess coming to finish us off I would really like a piece of her ass for what she has done to this place and all the Digimon" Rika said clinching her fist.
"I totally aggress but save some ass kicking for me too since I am the leader" said Kae smiling like a kid in a candy store.
"Why do you thing that goggles makes you qualified to be leader" asked Rika tapping Kae's goggles giving a slight amused smirk.
"Because since it was that way in the TV series that I would be the same in real life" said Kae with her hand on the back of her head in a look of embarrassment grinning like an idiot.
"You can be the leader as long as you stop bossing me around since a real leader listens to his or her team… got it?" said Rika staring a hole in Kae.
"I do… so do you any ideas on how we can find a way out" said Kae looking around at her surroundings.
"Don't ask me you're the leader" said Rika mockingly.
Kae laughed, I am serious what do we do now, I have no idea what to do other then just keep going till we find something besides flying numbers and blackness.
"That's the only thing we can do because the com device in my D-4 doesn't seem to work here but lets rest first I take the first watch" said Rika.
"Nah I insist that I take the first, I think you need the sleep more then I do from the looks of you and don't argue I am the leader" said Kae.
"She's right that battle with the Ice princess and the fall took a lot out you" said Kyubimon.
"Ok fine you take the first watch" said Rika Hesitantly lay down resting her on Kyubimon.
"Night Rika" said Kae looking into the distance vigilantly
"Night Kae" said Rika sleepily replying back.
Hour went by and nothing seemed too happened but suddenly a dark object leaped out of the shadows and kicked Yasyamon in the head knocking him over, then it seemed to vanish.
"Whoa that so hurt a lot" shouted Yasyamon which woke Rika and Renamon.
"What is going on" said Rika confusedly.
The same thing happening again knocking Yasyamon over once more, this time the thing stayed and kick him in the head repeatedly before it vanished into the ground this time.
"Something is attacking Yasyamon and we are cant see it properly before it does it" said Kae slight panic but calm.
The thing appeared again this time it slammed into Kyubimon knocking her back down as she tried to get up
"You are not welcome here intruders… leave now!" shouted a voice from afar in the direction they were heading in before they stopped to rest.
"We cant we don't know where we are" Kae Shouted back.
As Kae said this the thing appeared once more slamming in both Kyubimon and Yasyamon in one hit
"Leave or ill have to force you to go" shouted the voice again.
"Have you not heard what I said we don't know where we are, we are not here to fight!" shout Kae this time in a more angry tone.
The thing appeared but this time it reflected off barrier that seemed to come out of no where with a deep voice shouting "stop it"
"They in intruders" shouted the voice at someone else they couldn't see.
"They are expected guests" said the other voice.
A girl stepped out the shadows saying "it seems you welcome here I am Rory and this is my partner Cholmon, we are sorry for attacking you" she said as a strange blue Digimon with green dress appeared beside her.
"Where are we?" Kae still rattled from the attack.
"Digi slum the location of File Port, Follow me as I take you there" Said Rory gesturing due east it seemed, they went for a couple mile before reached what appeared to be a gate, and Rory lead them inside.
"Welcome to file port" said a man with black hair and a grayish face.
Kae took one look at him and shouted "Oikawa… but didn't you die in season 2?"
"I did but the Gennai revived me and made me one of them because of my brave sacrifice to save the digital world and placed me here, I was found later by the niece I never knew I had Rory, and I gave her Datirimon" said Gennai.
"Prodigious so that was champion form of Datirimon that was attacking" said Kae walking with a bounce in her step.
"We have much to talk about, about the event on the surface and who is behind it" said Gennai gesturing them to follow him, they follow him to a other room that looked like a library a very large one to be exact, where Gennai pulled out a black book and opened it.
"They have returned" said Gennai
"Who has returned" Rika asked confused concern.
"An ancient evil that you have only seen the tip of right Uncle" said Rory crossing her arms.
To be continued…
