Hey guys, I'm back. I decided I really like the whole 'address your reviewers' thing, so here I go again! Hey, Digi-fanCapp, Welcome to the party, I'm glad you like it! (yes it is pretty sad now that I think about it)

Ayelet, hey, so you're having a hard time figuring out TK's POV? Sorry about that!

You (cool name) you'll find out. *laughs maniacally*

Guest, it's awesome to see you. I feel like I should tell you how much I love your review, especially since you're a guest. All shall be revealed in time.

Auehara-sama, thanks for the review! I love your input, you should never be afraid of insulting me, as long as you don't force your opinions and stuff on me I really love hearing that kind of stuff, like, really, I love it a lot, that's some of favorite kind of reviews.

WOW544, I think a lot of people thought that.

Lightus of the light, you know I super love you, m8 ;)

MacDreamy, you actually helped me decide how to start this chapter through your review!

So, thanks, y'all, I'll get on with the story now! (if you really hate this, tell me, and I'll stop doing it.)


"What is it, Terriermon?" Henry asked. Terriermon was facing the window, his ears lifted. Terriermon had this ability to sense or hear things really far away, Guilmon could kind of do it, but Terriermon was better at doing it over long distances.

"There's a new Digimon." He said ominously. Henry lifted his head from what he was working on.

"Really?" He got up from his chair. "Do you think you could find it?"

"Henry, are you questioning my abilities?" Was Terriermon's reply.


"So, does this mean you have a Digivice?" Kenta asked. I nodded before shaking head in an effort to dry it a bit. Yeah, I had jumped into the river and was now had Patamon's egg. I wringed out my soaked hat.

"Yeah, I… found it this morning." Great, apparently I was turning into a compulsive liar. Now would be the best time to tell the truth, but…

"Sweet!" Kazu exclaimed.

"I don't think any of the others actually got an egg." Kenta said, looking at the object roughly the size of a bowling ball that I held protectively on my lap. "I mean, I know Guilmon just randomly appeared to Takato, and I can't see Rika nurturing a baby Digimon."

"Henry said that Terriermon came out of his computer." Kazu added. It made sense, the first time I went to the Digital world we met our Digimon when they were In-Training, and when the second set of Digidestines got their Digimon they were already Rookie level.

I looked down at the egg with a loving gaze. I felt like something had clicked into place, and I felt whole again. I would protect him, just like last time when he had sacrificed himself for us and had turned into an egg I would wait however long it took for him to hatch.

There was a violent rustle from the bushes and I jerked my head sideways along with Kenta and Kazu.

"It's over here!" A high voice called which I recognized was Terriermon's as he emerged from the bushed. Behind him came Henry, Takato, and Guilmon, who all looked fairly winded so they must have run the entire way.

"Um, hey guys." I gave them a little wave as all of their eyes landed on the egg.

"Takato, Henry guess what?! TK found a Digi-egg!" Kazu exclaimed.

"A… Digi-egg?" Takato repeated uncomprehendingly. Terriermon came up to me, looking at the egg.

"It's a Digi-egg alright." He confirmed.

"Digimon really come from egg?" Henry asked in surprise. "So, does this mean that's Tk's… partner?"

"Yeah, TK found his Digivice earlier today!" Kenta provided.

"Cool, now you're a Tamer like us!" Takato said with enthusiasm. I gave a bit of a shy smile. I only had one thought: 'I live a life of lies!'

"I came from this?" Guilmon asked as he sniffed Patamon's egg.

"I guess." I answered.

"How did I get in there?" He looked at me inquisitively. I decided against telling him what I had learned from Elecmon, about when a Digimon dies they get reborn, so the question was kind of like saying if the chicken or the egg came first. Besides, I wasn't really positive that Guilmon had ever been an egg in the first place.

"Do you know how long it'll take to hatch?" Takato said as he crouched down so he could get a better look at the egg.

"Nope." I replied. Last time it had taken about a week I think, but I was kinda hoping it wouldn't take that long this time, I couldn't wait to see Poyomon. Suddenly Guilmon's head jerked around, his eyes becoming slits, reflecting the setting sun, and Terriermon's ears came back.

"I smell Digimon."

"Henry," Terriermon began. "…he's back." Both Takato and Henry's eyes widened.

"Vajramon? We have to go to him, he's probably with Renamon!" Henry commented. "TK, can you go and get Rika, me and Takato will try and deal with him, but Rika will want to see Renamon as soon as possible." I nodded and we split up, my feet heading towards Rika's place, the egg held firmly in my arms.


Riley smiled as she roamed the streets of Shinjuku. Today was one of her rare days off, and she was determined to enjoy it. A small bread shop caught her eye, well, the smell caught her nose first and then the bread itself caught her eye.

She walked in and caroused the aisles of bread, grabbing a small bag to put some treats in. A few donuts, maybe some cream puffs… she picked up a donut that had blue frosting special for Yamaki, he had been so serious recently, maybe a little something sweet would loosen him up, though she doubted it.

"Hi, I'd like to buy these." She said as she handed her bag to the man at the register, reaching for her purse.

"No proble-" The man never finished the sentence and whipped her head up to see why. Her jaw dropped and her eyes widened.

"Da-" The man cleared his throat, his face turning red. She gave him a glare. "Please, we've been friends since middle school, I can call you by your name, Davis." He tensed up and she lightly punched him on the shoulder. A sigh escaped his mouth.

"Sorry, Yolei." Davis replied, giving her a small smile. "You're looking good." Yolei nodded. "You got contacts." He said, pointing to her eyes. She nodded.

"Yeah, I'm in a new line of work where glasses get in the way." She answered. He nodded.

"So, Um, how's he been?" He asked, and she knew who he was talking about.

"Not any better, but I think he'd be worse if I wasn't there." She replied, looking off to the side. "How have you been?"

"Good." Davis nodded. He shoved the bread bag towards. "Here, you can keep it, free of charge."

"I can't-" Yolei started.

"Sure you can. Consider it making up for all the times we mooched off of your families store. Plus we're friends." She smiled at him and then jumped over the counter. "Wha-" She wrapped her arms around him in a hug.

"I'll see you later, Davis. Take care of yourself." He smiled back at her, and then she left, her purple hair blowing in the small breeze behind her. Davis smiled, it was always good to see an old friend like that.

"Honey, can you help me out with this batch?" He heard his wife ask and he came up to her, turned her around, and gave her a kiss. "Wow, what's gotten into you?"

"Can't a man be happy?" He retorted, a smile on his face.

"Yes, but not when what he makes a living on is burning." She replied as the fire alarm started to go, smoke filling the room. His eyes widened.

"Crap."


I knocked on the door, a little nervously. I could hear the conversation inside, and it was not encouraging.

"Rika, why did you have to blow it?!" The voice that I had decided was her mom exclaimed.

"I don't know mom, maybe because I hate it!" Rika yelled back.

"Honey, you don't mean that."

"How would you know? You've lived a life of luxury your entire life!"

"Rika! My childhood was very challenging! And don't you make this about me!" I knocked a little louder.

"I'll get it." Rika retorted, and I heard her stomp over before opening the door. "TK, what are you doing here? And why are you soaking wet? She asked, looking me up and down.

"Long story, but Vajramon's turned back up." I said, and her eyes lit up.

"Renamon." I heard her whisper under her breath. Her gaze turned steely with determination. "Mom, I'm leaving."

"Don't you walk out on me, Rika." But Rika already had her shoes on and was halfway down the road. I poked my head in for a second.

"Sorry, but her friends need her." Rika's mom's face went black when she saw me, but I'd never find out why because I then headed over to Rika, who was grabbing two bikes.

"Here, we'll need to be fast." She said. I grabbed the one with a and took off my jacket, putting the egg in there, the jacket making it secure.

"What, is Easter early?" Rika questioned the egg.

"Not exactly." I replied, and held up my Digivice. She just gave it an appraising look before peddling harder, trying to get to her other half as fast as possible.


"Renamon!" Rika cried as we entered the area where Vajramon was. Apparently while we we're getting here Renamon had asked Vajramon a few question before attacking him, in which case Guilmon and Terriermon had helped her out, well, now they were Growlmon and Gargomon, but either way they looked like they were about at the end of their rope.

"Digi-modify!" Rika cried as she swiped a card through her Digivice. "Digivolution, activate!" Renamon glowed a pure white light before it died down. I had never seen her digivolved form. She was more like a fox, int eh fact that she was on all fours, and had nine tails swishing in the air behind her.

"Wow." I said in awe.

"Kyubimon, you are even more worthy to serve our Sovereign now." Vajramon said, spreading his arms out wide in an invitation.

"Fox Tail Inferno!" Was her reply as she attacked him with a harsh air, but it seemed to just bounce right off of him.

"You made it!" I turned to see Calumon behind me. He jumped onto my head and then looked at the egg I had in my arms. "And you brought a friend!" He exclaimed. I turned just in time to see Kyuubimon jump up at him, but Vajramon caught her and threw her, Kyubimon landing delicately on her feet.

"Digi-Modify! Speed, activate!" Rika called, and Renamon charged at him again.

"Dragon Wheel!" Vajramon swiped his swords, nullifying the attack.

"So beautiful, yet so deluded!" He shouted as she rammed into his chest, only to bounce off harmlessly. "You could be so much stronger, why do you follow such a weak human?" Kyubimon whipped her tail into his face and then head butted his side, throwing him off balance.

"Rika is stronger than you." She replied cooly as he slid across the ground. He got back up.

"You will join us, or you will perish!" He remarked, slicing in her direction.

"Kyubimon!" Rika called out in fear of her partner.

"You could have unlimited data in this world," He said as he took a swipe at her, and she jumped out of the way. "Yet you insist on being a lap dog to such a worthless little girl!" He struck again, and his attack hit her dead on, when the dust cleared Kyubimon lay defeated in a pile of rubble.

"No!" Rika yelled. I felt my tag become warm and when I turned to Rika I saw her pull a blue card out of her deck. "The blue card. Now, it's our turn!" She declared as she gave it a swipe.

"Digi-Modify!" She shouted as she swiped the card, light pouring from her digivice. "Matrix Digivolution, activate!" Renamon glowed, the Digivice glowed, Calumon emitted a red light, and the tag on my chest grew almost unbearably hot. When the light dimmed back down Kyubimon was now Taomon. (A/N sorry, too lazy to describe her *sweatdrop*)

"Hmph, why do you choose such a form? The Sovereign would not be pleased." Vajramon retorted, flaring his nostrils.

"I don't really care what your master thinks. And you would be wise to remember that look can be," Her form blurred at the speed she went, appearing in the air above Vajramon. "…deceiving. A Thousadnd Spells!" She called, and razorblade sharp pieces of paper came from her sleeves, slicing Vajramon.

"You deceiving creature, I will destroy you!" He cried as he swung his swords in Taomon's direction, but she simply used her sleeves to knick them away. "Why do you play games with me, what are you here?!" He cried as she jumped lithely away.

"I only wanted information. I am done with you now." Taomon answered.

"You deceptive wretch! Once I take care of you, I'll do away with that puny human of yours!" His blades shot towards Taomon, but she jumped into the air, summoning a giant paintbrush.

"No one threatens Rika!" She cried. "Talisman of Light!"

"What, no, NO!" Vajramon cried as the symbol overtook him, his body dissolving into data.

"Wow." Takato said as he looked at Taomon, floating in the air, triumphant against her foe.

"Yay!" Calumon cried.


"Why are you here?!" Yamaki cried, facing the woman.

"To try and knock some sense into you. I've been watching the news, this has gone too far!" She cried, her glare piercing him like only hers could.

"I'm trying to protect everyone, so that they don't have to go through what I did." He argued, though he couldn't look her in the eyes. In the eyes he hadn't seen since she walked out on him.

"You're hurting everyone in the process. You're hurting our child." His head jerked up at her words.

"How is he?" He asked.

"Fine." Her voice was cold, but pained. "He has your hair." A small smiled tugged at his mouth. "If you would only stop this, you could meet him." She persisted.

"No, I've made my choice, and you made yours."


"I am very pleased with your new Digivolution." Rika commented as Renamon stood on top of a statue.

"Good."

"But despite everything you know what pleases me the most?" She asked a small smile on her face.

"No, what?" Renamon questioned.

"How heroic you look, standing there in the moonlight." Then Rika started biking away, leaving Renamon to watched her back, smiling at her partner. When Rika got home, she found an apology on her pillow with a box of chocolates and a deck of new Digimon cards. She had to grin. Her mom was pretty cool sometimes.

Meanwhile, across town, I got into my bed, Patamon's egg nustled against me, knowing that I'd sleep well for the first time in a long time.

Just a few more chapter and we start to get the revealing stuff, I can't wait! Oh, yeah, and go nade-nade the egg today, we are so close!
