Chapter 3: A fallen angel.
The darkness, how much we know about it? In the darkness there is nothing, pure nothingness and it's cold. He opened his eyes; now instead of the darkness he was seeing light. Sergey looked around, he was in a room where everything was covered in metal and a giant lamp above him provided the light that then reflected from the metal.
He tried to stand, but a warm pawn stopped him and he turned around. He expected to see his Renamon holding his hand, but instead it was a black cat like creature holding him "Master, you must rest before making any movements." said the cat as she pulled Sergey back to the plate, he sat up and looked at the cat "Who are you?" he asked.
The cat bowed and replied "My name is BlackGatomon and I am your Digimon master." Sergey was confused; he again looked around for any clues where he was. "Is something wrong master?" asked BlackGatomon, Sergey looked at her "Where are we?" he asked "We are in the Dark Tamers hideout, right now we are in the medical block." after hearing her reply, he stood up and started to search for his digivice.
"Are you searching for something master?" curiously asked the cat, Sergey nodded "Yes, where is my deck and digivice?" "Are you looking for this?" asked a voice. Sergey turned around and saw Jeri holding a digivice; he rushed at her, but right in front of him appeared SkullRenamon and pushed him back.
"What is the meaning of this?" shouted Sergey as he got up from the floor, Jeri giggled and answered "Well, is this how you repaying us for saving you?" asked Jeri, Sergey was confused "You, saved me? That's impossible!" Jeri looked at him and replied "If it wasn't for us your so called "friends" would have destroyed you." Her voice was cold, but Sergey had a plan "Do you have any evidences?" he asked, expecting them to came out with something silly like a fake audio recording or something like that.
But instead Jeri pressed some buttons on her digivice and right in front of him appeared a screen. The action automatically started on screen then Jeri pressed another button on her digivice, on screen he saw a moment then Kuzuhamon's arrow hit Rena in the stomach.
Sergey looked closely it was the same moment that energy got released from him and he striked down Kazu and Kenta, but suddenly from the bushes came out Takato with Guilmon. Without saying anything Takato used "Matrix digivolution" on Guilmon turning him into a WarGrowlmon; a giant red android dinosaur with blades instead of hands.
"WarGrowlmon destroy Sergey until he causes any more harm." shouted Takato as WarGrowlmon charged two laser guns on his chest "Atomic Blaster!" roared WarGrowlmon as he fired two beams at Sergey; destroying his armor and leaving him defenseless. Then in the same moment Kuzuhamon grabbed Sergey and disappeared into a void of darkness. This was where the recording stopped, Sergey was not just angry he was mad!
"What happened to my Renamon?" he asked, Jeri's answer made his blood boil "Because of her wound they rendered her useless and WarGrowlmon beheaded her and took her code." In Sergey's mind appeared a picture of WarGrowlmon killing his Renamon and absorbing her code.
That was the last drop, now the only thing he wanted was to kill the tamers with their Digimons and then hang their dead bodies in the middle of the city park, out of anger he punched a wall in front of him; leaving a gigantic mark on it. "Master." worried BlackGatomon, Jeri smiled and came closer to him and gave the digivice to him. "Here, it belongs to you now." said Jeri "You can also look around if you want." Then she and SkullRenamon left the room, leaving Sergey and BlackGatomon together.
He sat on the plate; BlackGatomon followed him and sat beside him. There was a silence between them, until Sergey noticed something. "Take off your gloves." said Sergey, the cat hesitated "No master I can't." but then he looked her in the eyes and she felt that he won't hurt her and removed her gloves.
Sergey was shocked by what he saw; her hands were completely covered in scars and some of them were still fresh and were bleeding. "How has done this to you?" he asked, "Mistress SkullRenamon used her whip on me, because I was a bad student." her hands were bleeding; Sergey quickly stood up and started to search for the door.
After a serious of fails, he asked her "Where is the door?" "The door can only be activated by using your digivice, master." The cat answered and pressed a button on his digivice and a door appeared, they both entered a dark corridor.
As they walked Sergey looked around; the hideout had two or three levels, with no windows and all the guidance was made by digivice. They reached a middle of their level and saw a gigantic door.
"What's inside that thing?" asked Sergey. "Inside is a great source of Dark digivolution." said a voice behind him; he turned around to see Jeri and SkullRenamon. "So, can I see it?" asked Sergey, Jeri nodded and unlocked the door. Inside was a humongous laboratory filled with the latest scientific equipment and in the middle stood two jars; one was filled with red glowing liquid, another had inside a rabbit like Digimon.
"What are those?" asked Sergey as he came closer to the jars, Jeri pointed at the first one "This one contains a Digimon that is helps us to use dark digivolution, meet BlackCalumon." Sergey looked closely looked at BlackCalumon; it was some sort of animal with round head and bid ears and as the name suggested he was black and on his forehead was a crimson crystal.
"And in this one, is the material we create our Battlegear from, meet the piece of the D-reaper." Sergey was shocked "It's the D-reaper?" asked Sergey, Jeri sensed that his voice was shaking. "Yes, now it's harmless towards humans and Digimons but it sure is powerful." said Jeri, she came closer to Sergey and whispered to his ear "We have spotted the tamers, then you will be ready you may move out." Sergey smiled and nodded, "Let's go BlackGatomon." he called her and she nodded and followed him.
They finally reached the medical storage; BlackGatomon looked confused "Why we are here master? She asked, Sergey answered while he searched in the boxes "Because you are wounded and I don't want anything bad to happen to you." She blushed; she didn't expect him to care about her.
"Found them!" he shouted and brought with him a spray and some bandages. "What are those?" asked BlackGatomon, "We will use the spray to sanitize your wounds then we will cover them with bandages." He said. "Okay." She nodded and removed her gloves.
Then he sprayed a little bit on her hand, it started to feel like burning and he continued to spray. She hissed and scratched him, "Ouch." he said, then BlackGatomon understood what she has done, she sat on her knees and begged for forgiveness.
"Master, I am sorry for what I have done. You may punish me." He raised his hand, she expected him to slap her but instead he simply patted her on her forehead and putted a bandage on the place where she had scratched him.
"Now, shall we put some bandages on you and I promise it won't hurt." He took her pawn and putted the bandages on it and then on the other one, after a while her hands were completely covered in bandages.
"Now you can put you gloves back on." He said while putting back the spray and bandages. They walked back in silence until they reached a room where he walked up and then they entered he saw a small card holder with a deck inside. He looked through the cards then spoke "BlackGatomon, it's time we visit our tamer friends in the hospital."
Meanwhile in the hospital, a young blond male doctor was carefully putting bondages around Rika's waist and as he finished he sighed.
"Okay Miss Nonaka, I have finished bandaging the area of the trauma. You can go home now and please be careful while taking a bath. A wound can start bleeding again." said doctor as he has finished putting on Rika's bandage. Her mother asked the doctor "But doctor, why did she collapse if the wound was not that deep?" Asked Rumiko, doctor signed; he had explained it already 5 times "Your daughter collapsed, because of the shock and because armor also drained her physical strength. She will be alright after few days, but I cannot say the same about Rena." They turned to see that Rena was on the other bed; she was connected to the respiration machine and on the side she was connected to bag of blood that was flowing inside her. "Is she going to be alright?" asked Rika, "Well, she is currently in coma like sleep and she lost a lot of blood and we also contacted their parents and luckily for them. I still have Sergey's human blood." said doctor as he again checked Rena's temperature.
That doctor's name was Robert von Alten Weisen Monster, a German doctor who was Sergey's family therapist and by the luck of the chance; he was in Japan for the annual conference that was taking place in Tokyo so then other doctors were shocked by seeing Rena. Since he was their family therapist he knew what do and acted fast.
"When she will wake up?" asked Rumiko, doctor looked like the answer will be sad "We cannot exactly then, but there is a chance that she will never wake up." "Don't bury me yet." said a voice and they all turned to see Rena; she was awake and already removed the breathing mask. "Rena, you are alright!" shouted Rika and hugged her, Rena smiled and answered "I am alright now and by the way where is Sergey?" she looked around trying to find him.
"Rena, listen Sergey is…" Rika wanted to say something, but Rena interfered "Oh, I get it. It's a surprise, I will close my eyes and then I open them he will appear with a bucket of flowers." She closed her eyes and after a minute opened them and looked around. "Sergey where are you? This isn't funny!" she shouted and looked around. "Rena, this is what I've been trying to tell you, he is not here." said Rika, Rena looked worry she looked at the blood that was flowing inside her and signed "That's mean it happened." She said and looked at Rika and the then at the doctor "Oh hello doctor monster, so I guess that you did not have another choice?" doctor nodded "Sorry Rena, but if I wouldn't do that then you would die and Sergey's father would sue me."
Rika then looked at the doctor "Why do they call you "doctor monster"?" asked Rika and doctor sighed "Because if you translate my family name from German, then it means ancient wise monster." Said the doctor "Yeah, everyone call's him that because he is a monster of medicine." Said Rena and then a nurse entered.
"Doctor Monster, they expect you in the surgery room now." Said the nurse and doctor sighed "Fine then I will leave you be, but Rena. For today use this cane to move." He said and passed her a black cane "Thank you doctor." Said Rena and the doctor left the room.
Rena then looked at Rika and asked "Then I collapsed, did something happen to Sergey?" Rika didn't know what to say until suddenly Takato appeared in the door way. "Rika, thank god you are alright." Said Takato as he rushed towards her and hugged "I was worried that Black Renamon have hurt you."
After hearing that name Rena tried to stand up, but her sister holded her. "Let me go!" said Rena but her sister was a stubborn Renamon and she pushed her harder back to bed "You must rest; right now there is nothing you can do to save Sergey." Said her sister and finally made her lay in the bed, Rena looked desperate she punched a pillow and it looked like she was about to cry "How can't you understand?" she asked her sister.
"It's all my fault and I must save him from the curse." "What curse?" asked Takato. Rena finally noticed Takato; she signed and replied "The curse of the Black Renamon, it's a curse of our tribe passed down by a blood line. It's a long story so you better sit." Everybody sat near Rena and started the story.
"Black Renamon is a Digimon of an infinity power; he was supposed to never leave digital world. The first Black Renamon was our uncle that was a desperate time; a war was between two continents and our uncle and father were the once who leaded the army of data type Digimons."
"But, why was there a war?" asked Rika. Rena looked at her and asked "Can I have a paper and a pencil?" then she got them she draw something map like and started to point on it "Here some locations you are familiar with: Gekomon village, Time village and Mudfrigimon village." Then she pointed at the two continents that were in between the places that were familiar to tamers.
"The continent on the left is called a "Kingdom of data and vaccine" on these continents lives only data and vaccine type Digimon and they a ruled by a royal family. On the right we have an "Empire of viruses", the Digimons on this continent as suggested are virus type Digimon who want nothing but to conquer all other territories and destroy data and vaccine kingdom and rule the digital world." Said Rena and putted the map aside.
"But why didn't we get there?" asked Takato, "And we also saw all three types of Digimon leaving there in peace." Said Rika, Rena answered slowly and calmly "That continent is called a "Continent of the Sovereigns" in there all three types live together and are protected by Digimon sovereigns, this why both armies are not dare to attack that continent." Rena took a deep breath and continued the story.
"During the war there were terrible loses on the kingdom; they were losing one soldier after another. Our father and uncle leaded great battles, but still losses were great. Until our uncle discovered a great source of ancient power that was more powerful than any other and so he went on a journey to find it. But what he found was that had ruined him." "What did he found?" asked Rika.
"He found crests." Answered Rena, "You mean crests like in a TV-series?" asked Takato. "No they were the most powerful crests, the crests of elements; fire, water, earth, wind, light and darkness. Each one gave him a control of an element of which crest he was holding. Our uncle took all the crests and they turned him into a Black Renamon, then he returned he was greeted like a saver of the kingdom. And of course with him on our side, they won all the battles. Our uncle all alone almost wiped out the entire army of the virus empire, until the power inside him grew and he started to lose control. He was considered to be dangerous and our father was sent on a mission to destroy his own brother. My father didn't know that I followed him and saw everything with my own eyes, our father tried to convince his brother to discard that power, but our uncle wanted to keep the power to rule the digital world so there would not be any more wars or conflicts. But our father didn't want any more Digimons to die, so he refused and they battled. Our father fought bravely but he was no match for the Black Renamon, then our father was defenseless our uncle went for a killing shot but then I jumped out from the bushes I was hiding and attacked uncle. He turned his back and saw me and stopped his attack, our father used that moment and stabbed his brother. He roared in pain, out of anger he instead of turning into data turned into a black code and entered my body, sealing himself in my body. Then we returned to the kingdom; he was greeted as a hero, until he told that Black Renamon sealed himself inside my body. He was given a choice or to kill me or go to the exile and never come back, he chose to be exiled and left me, my mother, my sister and both my brothers. My family was the only ones who didn't treat me like a monster and then I got a chance I ran away into a human world where I meet Sergey." Rena breathed out and waited for them to ask question what have happened.
"What does it have to do with Sergey?" asked Rika and Rena answered "You see, "Tsubusa Wave" can easily cure any outside wounds like scratches or cuts, for healing muscles and bones; you must be a Digimon or have Digimons blood inside of you in order for it to work." "But how did Sergey became a Black Renamon?" asked Rika.
"I am getting to it." Said Rena "Sergey's parents wanted to use that chance to cure him; so they took my blood and activated it." "What do you mean by "activated"?" asked Takato.
"Will you let me finish the story?" asked Rena, everybody nodded and she continued "They also took some of the Sergey's "human" blood and preserved it and then the doctors injected my blood into Sergey. After injecting the whole bag, I used the "Tsubusa Wave" and a miracle happened; Sergey was now able to walk and run his reaction and reflexes also had improved. Even his muscles had built themselves and he automatically lost any extra weight he had and began a new live. But his happiness didn't last long; the doctors had found that with my blood Sergey also got infused with Black Renamon and in order to control the armor was created to control his power. Sergey took the armor and modified it and with the help of his father, they created cards and new modes for armor and armor for you Rika. Then they created Battlegear."
"What is Battlegear?" asked Rika, "Battlegear is the code that merges with its wielder creating a weapon for battle." Rena looked at the blood that was injected and smiled "The blood that is now enters my body is Sergey's activated blood, so now I am a chimera." "A chimera?" asked Rika. Rena nodded "Yes, now I am part human and part Digimon. And by your eyes I can see that you are worried, but don't be it won't affect a lot. Maybe some small changes in my body, but I can still battle and digivolve, at least doctor monster said so."
Suddenly Henry rushed in to the room shouting "Sergey is outside, it looks like that he is a dark tamer now." Everybody looked confused until Rena broke the silence "Dark tamers probably had Sergey brainwashed, but don't worry I have a plan; Takato take Henry and try to hold him off as long as possible. Then the rest of his blood infuses with me, I and Rika will come out and that will probably get him back in his senses." Everybody nodded and Takato and Henry left the room.
Outside the hospital, Sergey looked around, he had to act quick before Hypnose or military reacts, he looked at BlackGatomon; she was ready, Kazu and Kenta were sent as supported and they were already in position.
Then suddenly from the door ways appeared four figures. Sergey quickly recognized them "Well well, what do we have here? Takato and Henry with their Digimons trying to stop me, isn't that cute, but useless." Sergey stepped closer, Takato and Henry looked nervous. "Sergey stop!" shouted Takato "We don't want to hurt you!" supported Henry.
Sergey only wickedly smiled and said "You don't want to hurt me? You already hurt me then your friend killed my Renamon with his red dog." "Guilmon is not a dog and he didn't kill your Renamon. She is alive!" shouted Takato as he took out his digivice. Sergey only laughed "Spare me your lies, let's battle!" he shouted and sliced a card through his digivice "Dark digi-modify! Dark matrix digivolution activated!" and a black light surrounded his Digimon.
"Black Gatomon dark matrix digivolves to…"and from the black light came out an elegant female demon "LadyDevimon." she said as she came out from the black light, Takato and Henry did the same thing; they both sliced a card through their digivices shouting "Digi-modify!" Matrix digivolution activated!" and the light had surrounded their Digimons. "Guilmon matrix digivolves to…" "Terriermon matrix digivolves to…" and from the light came out an android dinosaur with blades instead of hands and a rabbit like Digimon in green armor with a machine gun at his back and a missile launchers instead of hands. "WarGrowlmon." said the dinosaur "Rapidmon." said the rabbit as they came out from the light, Sergey only smiled "Now a battle between the ultimates may begin!" he shouted and his LadyDevimon rushed at WarGrowlmon and Rapidmon.
Rapidmon aimed his hands and fired "Rapid fire!" he shouted as he fired his missiles at LadyDevimon, Sergey drew a card from his deck and sliced a card through his digivice "Dark digi-modify! "Maximum awareness" activated!" he shouted and in the same moment LadyDevimon's eyes glowed in red and she dodged the missiles and counter attacked with "Darkness Spear!" shouted LadyDevimon and turned her left hand into a spike and stabbed Rapidmon's arm.
He shaked her off his hand, but her attack left a hole in his hand "Henry, help." Said Rapidmon as he fell on his knees and putted his other hand on the wound. "Takato, we must do something." Said WarGrowlmon to his tamer, Takato nodded and shouted "Let's go WarGrowlmon!" Digi-modify! "Power" activated!" he sliced his card through the digivice and WarGrowlmon rushed at LadyDevimon.
"Double blade!" shouted WarGrowlmon as he raised his blades and tried to slice LadyDevimon, but she again turned her hand into a spike and countered WarGrowlmon slice. Their weapons meet, they fought each other; LadyDevimon was trying to stab WarGrowlmon, but he was countering them or with one blade or with both. That battle continued until Sergey played a new card "Dark digi-modify!" he shouted ""Darkness strike!" activated!" he shouted and in the same moment LadyDevimon's spike glowed in purple light and she striked WarGrowlmon; breaking his blocks and stabbing him in the chest. WarGrowlmon feel on his knees, both him and Rapidmon were defeated. Sergey only smiled and looked at the defenseless Digimons and their tamers.
"Now, shall we finish them?" he asked his LadyDevimon she bowed and answered "I will do as you say my master." Those words made Sergey's evil smile even wider, "Which one of you shall perish first? Maybe you Henry or better let's start with Takato." He said as he and LadyDevimon approached WarGrowlmon, "No!"Shouted Takato as he rushed at Sergey trying to punch him, but he simply moved aside and punched Takato in the stomach putting him on his knees "Let's see how you will take it, then your Digimon dies on your eyes." He whispered at his ear and looked at LadyDevimon "Finish that dinosaur off." He commanded, "I am sorry Takato." said WarGrowlmon, then suddenly the heard a voice.
"That's enough!" they turned and saw Rika already wearing her armor and a Renamon using a cane to stand. "Well well, what do we have here Rika and her Renamon joining the battle." "Sergey, you have been tricked." Said Rika, and fired her "Angel's wave" at the bushes and from them jumped out Kazu and Kenta with their Digimons. "You choose a bad place to hide in." said Rika, Sergey was confused; what was the lie and what was the truth? LadyDevimon looked him in the eyes and asked "Master, is everything alright?" but he did not answer, then he looked at the Renamon that was standing next to Rika.
"Could this be?" he asked himself, then the Renamon looked at him and signed "Sergey you are impossible." She came closer and jumped, "No!" shouted Rika, Sergey didn't waste any second and catched her; then he catched her he almost fell. And suddenly she kissed him and in an instance the black marks disappeared on his body "Rena." He said and hugged and smiled "Thank god you are alright."
She also smiled and said "I did as your mother told me to if you ever became Black Renamon so…" "They injected my blood into you?" he asked, she nodded "Now I am a part human too." For a moment there was a silence between them until Sergey broke it "Can you stand?" he asked "Yeah." Said Rena and he helped her stand and in the same moment he removed the belt on which he had his deck and digivice and looked at WarGrowlmon "Takato, then I throw this in the air let WarGrowlmon fire at it with atomic blaster, okay?"
Takato nodded and Sergey threw his belt in the air and WarGrowlmon fired "Atomic blaster." Said WarGrowlmon as two beams of energy fired from his chest cannons, destroying the belt. Then the digivice got destroyed, LadyDevimon turned back into a BlackGatomon, now she was the one defenseless.
"Master, why?" she asked, Sergey looked at her and smiled "Because, this deck and digivice were filled with evil." Then he looked at Rika and asked "Do you have my real belt?" she nodded and passed him a belt, he automatically putted it on and sliced a card "Tamer Armor activate!" and in an instance he was in his armor "Tamer Armor Justice Mode on." He said and looked at BlackGatomon "BlackGatomon, I offer you to join us and become my second partner Digimon."
After hearing those words Rena slapped him "Are you nuts? You already have me, why do you need another Digimon? What? I don't satisfy you anymore?" she was really angry now, but Sergey's answer made her understand "Because I don't want her to get hurt anymore, I've seen how they treat her. Nobody deserves to be treated like that!" he shouted and offered his hand to BlackGatomon, she didn't know what to say; nobody ever cared that much about her.
"I…" she wanted to say something but Kazu interfered "BlackGatomon, you must obey only dark tamers and he is now your enemy, destroy him!" he shouted and expected her to attack but she only answered him back "No, he is not my enemy. He cares about me and he doesn't want to hurt me, so I am staying with him." She raised her voice at them; Kazu was angry "Learn your place!" he shouted and threw a card at her "Control card! Take control of BlackGatomon and we will punish her!" shouted Kazu.
BlackGatomon closed her eyes and expected the pain from control card to strike, but suddenly a voice shouted "Legendary Sergey rocks sword!" then she opened her eyes, she saw Sergey holding a sword and a sliced in two control card on a ground.
"Did he just saved me?" she asked herself in her mind, Sergey looked at her and asked "Are you okay?" she nodded. "Damn! Jeri is going to kill me." Said Kazu and signed, Kenta looked at him and ordered his Digimon to attack "Go Beelzemon! Destroy them!" Sergey simply looked at him and rushed towards him; Rika looked at him and rushed towards him. Sergey noticed her and asked "What are you doing?" he asked, Rika smiled through her helmet and answered "I am helping you, take my hand!" Sergey had no other choice and they ran and holded hands until something strange happened and their armors started to glow "What the heck?" he asked as his screen glowed a command "Armor Merge".
And in instance both of them were swallowed by light and Sergey could feel his armor fusing with Rika's, "Wow, I never thought that was possible." He thought as their armors became one, Rika felt warmth then suddenly the darkness covered everything. She opened her eyes and saw the computer and a system processing something, and then suddenly she feels someone breathing on her shoulder and she turned back and saw Sergey behind her. She noticed that he was not awake.
"Well, here goes something." She said and came closer to him, she looked at his face and moved her lips to his trying to kiss him then suddenly his eyes opened "Well, what do we have here?" he teased, Rika blushed and moved away "Nothing, I was just checking on you." He smiled and looked around "So this our armors merged together." He said "Computer, show me the status of the armor and activate the monitor." And in the same moment everything started to work, they saw an outside picture of armor; it looked like a knight with wings of an angel and with a purple heart on its chest. "Tamer Armor Angel's Justice Mode activate!" shouted Sergey and Rika felt that armor started to move.
"What mode shall be activated?" asked the armor's computer, Sergey smiled and said "Duo mode activated!" and Rika saw on an outside image that two more arms had stretched from the armor. "What is that?" asked Rika, Sergey answered with a giant smile on his face "Duo mode allows us to use armor together; it's like playing a video game in a split screen, so I will control legs and upper hands and you can control the bottom hands and defense system, alright?" Rika nodded and Sergey looked at the screen and rushed at Beelzemon. Everybody was shocked by an appearance of the armor.
"Beelzemon destroy them while they are one!" shouted Kenta and Beelzemon rushed at the armor "Darkness claws!" shouted Beelzemon and raised his claws and was prepared to slay the armor, but the bottom hands grabbed his hands and the upper hands made a straight punch at his face.
"What the…" said Beelzemon as the next punch went to his stomach sending him on the ground. "Nice work." Said armor with Sergey's voice and then it replied with Rika's "You, too." Kazu was ferocious "There is no way I am losing to some junk with a heart on as his symbol!" he looked at his BlackWarGreymon and roared "DESTROY THEM AND GET ME THAT CAT!" BlackWarGreymon jumped in the air and shouted "Terra Destroyer!" and fired a gigantic ball of energy at the armor. Inside the armor then BlackWarGreymon launched his attack Rika asked Sergey "What do we do?" "Use the shield; you are in control of defense." Said Sergey, Rika looked at her screen until she found a shield command. The bottom hands of the armor raised themselves and stretched out a blue wave of energy that surrounded the armor and then
BlackWarGreymon's attack reached the blue shield but it simply absorbed it and then disappeared inside the armor. "Take this!" shouted Kazu and sliced a card through his digivice and shouted "Dark digi-modify! "Terra impact! Activated!" and in the same moment BlackWarGreymon punched the ground and send a shock wave through the ground at the armor. But the armor jumped and flied in the air and then counter attacked "Justice Beams!" shouted armor with both Sergey's and Rika's voices and all four hands of the armor glowed and fired four beams of laser at BlackWarGreymon; leaving a gigantic cut on his chest.
"Dark tamers, we offer for you to retreat or we will destroy you and your Digimons." Said armor with Sergey's voice, that only made Kazu angrier and he shouted "We will not give up! BlackWarGreymon kill them and get that cat!" "So be it." Said armor with Sergey's voice, inside the armor Sergey look at Rika and asked "Please Rika, let me do it." Rika could only nod and Sergey activated armors most powerful weapon. The wings at the back of the armor started to move creating a small whirlwind and it started to expand, "Angel's storm of justice!" shouted the armor with of their voices and send that whirlwind at Kazu and Kenta with their Digimons and after there was an explosion.
Then the smoke cleared, they saw that dark tamers had already disappeared. And in the instance; armor split back into Sergey and Rika, Rumiko rushed and hugged her daughter "I was so worry about you." Said Rumiko, Rika could only smile. BlackGatomon was left all alone; she now didn't have a place where to go, "BlackGatomon." She heard a voice; she turned and saw Sergey holding his digivice "BlackGatomon, do you still want to become my second partner Digimon?" he asked, the cat didn't what to say "But master, how can I become your Digimon? You already have a Renamon." Sergey only smiled and answered "I only need you to agree and I will handle the rest." BlackGatomon nodded in agreement and Sergey raised his digivice and pressed some bottoms and shouted "Taming on!" he shouted and rings of light appeared and surrounded BlackGatomon's body; she expected to feel a pain but the only thing she felt was warmth of care and kindness and in same moment it disappeared.
"Welcome to the family." Said Sergey and offered his hand to BlackGatomon, she accepted it and he helped her to stand up. "Thank you, master." She bowed; Sergey patted her and said "Silly, you don't have to call me master. Call me Sergey like everyone does and I have a gift for you." He smiled and pulled a card from his deck "Now, close your eyes and don't open them until I will tell, okay?" She nodded and closed her eyes and heard his voice "Digi-modify! "Purification of Light" activated!" and in the same moment the light from above hit BlackGatomon, everybody looked at the light as it was cleaning her fur from the black color and in a minute in front of them was standing a normal Gatomon with a tail ring oh her tail.
"Now, you can open them." Said Sergey then the light show ended, Gatomon opened her eyes and saw a total change on her body "What happened to me?" she asked Sergey "The effect of the card "Purification of Light" purifies a Digimon with "Black" in its name into its normal version and it also cures all the wounds on the Digimon on which the card was used. So check your pawns." Said Sergey and Gatomon removed her gloves. "But, that's impossible." She said as she removed her gloves, "What's not possible?" asked Rika as came closer to Gatomon.
"It's the scars and wounds she had on her hands." Said Sergey as Rika reached him, Rika looked at him and asked "How did you do that?" he only smiled and said "That was mostly an effect of the card and little bit of care." Rika was confused by the answer, but Gatomon seemed happy. She looked at Sergey and asked "What's going to happen to me next?" Sergey took some time to answer "Well, since you are my Digimon now, I have to give you a name and I suitable one." He said and started to think, Gatomon seemed confused "But my name is Gatomon." He only smiled and patted her again "Silly, I want you to be a unique Gatomon, so this is why you need a name." he answered and started to think again.
There was suspense until Rena broke it "Maybe you should give her a name based on her character?" Sergey looked at her and smiled "That's perfect, and I know a perfect name for you." "What is it?" asked Gatomon and Sergey answered "Gats, because you are brave and courageous." Everybody looked confused "Why Gats?" asked Rika "Because, then I first met her; she showed a lot of courage then she knew that I had almost killed Kazu and Kenta with their Digimons or then I was putting bandages on her hands or then we were battling you guys, so I think it perfectly fits her." Said Sergey and came closer to his Gatomon and asked "The most important thing is that if you like it." Gatomon looked him in the eyes and answered "I like the name you have given me and from now on I am not just Gatomon, I am Gats Sergey's partner and a friend to the team of tamers." She bowed and said "I will always be by your side and I will never leave you or betray you, I promise." Sergey picked her up and hugged "And I promise to be a good tamer." Whispered he at her ear, "Sergey, can I do something silly?" she asked Sergey only nodded; he expected her to kiss him, but instead she lay on his head like it was a pillow.
"Mm, your hair is like a silk; so soft and comfy, I can feel it tickling me." Said Gats as everyone watched her resting on Sergey's head, Sergey was shocked; he expected anything but that, she was like a hat but a breathing one and he felt the beating of her heart.
"Well, I owe everybody a sorry for what I've done." He bowed and said "Please forgive me for my deeds as BlackRenamon and as the dark tamer." He stayed in bowed position until Rika came to him and kissed him in a cheek and said "I forgive you." And hugged him "If you forgive him so am I." said Takato "Well, I also forgive you." said Henry and picked up Terriermon on his shoulder. Sergey smiled and said "Thank you everyone, let's have some lunch and it's on me." Suddenly Rumiko's phone rand and she answered it, after few minutes she called Rika and they had a chat then Rika came back, her mother left.
"My mom said that she had to go and that I and Sergey should be at home by 21:00 p.m." said Rika and looked at Sergey and he asked "Is here any where a good ramen bar?" he asked. "Well there is one next to my parent's bakery." Said Takato and now the attention was concentrate on him, Sergey smiled and said "Lead the way." Takato nodded and they went towards the road, Rika was walking beside Sergey, Gats was still on his head and looked like she was asleep "Is she sleeping on your head?" asked Rika.
"Well she lost a lot of energy on that metamorphose, so she needs to rest little bit more and eat a lot." He smiled and looked at Rena; she was walking along with her sister and chatting about something. "Why did they infused your blood with Rena's?" asked Rika. Sergey signed and answered "Doctor Monster proposed a theory; if I become Black Renamon, I will become a chimera a mix of a human and a Digimon. So the doctor Monster believed that only another chimera could beat the BlackRenamon and Rena was the only candidate for that role. I actually hoped that it would never come to this." He said and looked at Rena "I hope that no harm will come to her because of my blood." Sergey's last words made Rika understand how much he cared about his Digimon.
"Sergey I have a question." Said Rika and looked him in the eyes "What did it feel like than you evolved into Black Renamon?" she asked him, she expected him to not answer it but he did "Then I saw you and Rena wounded, something inside of me exploded and I felt myself becoming more powerful with each second and then I felt my body changing. Then BlackWarGreymon destroyed my armor, I felt nothing but a wish to destroy everything in my path until I heard your voice. Your voice was what had calmed me and brought me back." Sergey said and his gaze moved to some other place.
Rika was amused by such compliment; no boy including Takato had ever said something like that to her, she now wanted to be more close to him than anyone else. "Hey guys we are here!" shouted Takato and pointed at the bar with a sigh on it "Hot Ramen." "Okay, let's get it in people!" said Sergey and everybody followed Sergey.
Inside everything was made of wood and they were the only people inside, "Hello!" shouted Sergey and an old man came from the curtains that were covering the entrance to the kitchen and answered back "What do you need?" he said and cleaned his glasses, "We want to eat." Said Sergey and pulled out a credit card from his pocket and asked "Do you accept credit cards?" old man smiled and said "Sure kid, pick a table and I will take your order." Sergey looked around and picked 9 places near the bar and they sat. The old man came back with a notebook "So what shall we have?" he asked, "Well, two ramens with pork and one with seafood and my friends will order the rest." He said and looked at them "So guys order up and don't forget about your partners and I am going to wake up Gats." Said Sergey and the old man turned to the tamers.
"So what shall you have?" he looked at Rika "I will take one with chicken, and you Renamon?" she looked at her partner "I will have the same as yours Rika." Said Renamon and then the old man came to Takato and Henry and they and their Digimons all ordered the beef ramen. Then old man finished taking their orders he asked "Any drinks?" the first to answer was Sergey "Make for all of us lemon juice with lime and mint and without ice please." Old man noted that down and went back into the kitchen, now everybody except Rena and sleeping Gats looked at him.
"Why lemon?" asked Rika, "Trust me, after what I am going to tell you that will be the best thing to calm your nerves." He said and tickled Gats tummy; she giggled and woke up, "Why did you woke me?" she asked curiously "Because soon we are going to have lunch and I also need your help in telling our tamer friends about our enemies." He said and cat nodded, he looked at them and started to talk "I have news for you guys; a good one and a bad one. The good one is that your friends are not possessed by anything."
There was a group sign that their friends were not forced to be evil, "And what's the bad one?" asked Takato, before answering Sergey twice looked somewhere and only then answered "They are doing that on their own free will and I can tell you why." There was a group shock; their friends were fighting them on their own will?
"But, why?" asked Takato "It doesn't make any sense!" said Henry "You guys, let Sergey speak." said Rika "You can continue now." "Thank you." Said Sergey and Rika smiled "You welcome." "Okay as I was saying, your friends are maybe controlled but they are the one who control themselves. Let me explain; is it truth that Jeri was possessed by the d-reaper?"
Everybody nodded "You see, what has d-reaper done then you guys destroyed it. You believed that you had completely destroyed it but instead part of it was lurking inside Jeri's brain those two years and it also somehow saved a part of itself and it somehow got to the viruses." "But why do you think that "Virus Empire" is behind this?" Takato interfered, Sergey only sighed "Because Takato, how could they get their hands on such advanced technology and besides those dark marks are the symbols of the virus elite so they must be special." Said Sergey and signed, his answer seemed to satisfy Takato "Fine, maybe Jeri is used because of the d-reaper, but why Kazu, Kenta and Impmon?" shouted Takato and punched the table "Why them? I don't understand." He said and suddenly Gats spoke up "Because of their emotions." She said and now all the attention was on her.
"Because of their emotions?" asked Takato, Gats nodded "Yes, Sergey what do you know about the marks?" she asked him, he took some time and answered "Well that those marks split the virus elite from other viruses and that's It." He said and cat smiled "You don't know much, truth the marks on their friend's sure show that they are the elite, but it's also what controls and powers them." Said Gats and looked him in eyes and continued "I still have some memories of being BlackGatomon, so as I recall their friends were against joining dark tamers until the marks were putted. They quickly changed their minds and surrendered their Digimons and then they captured Impmon and the rest you know." Said Gats and pleasantly smiled, tamers were confused "But how do the marks work?" asked Henry who kept quiet until now, Gats looked at him and answered "Good question, the marks then putted scan the person and if they find any small shadow in the person they expand it until the one who has it surrenders to the darkness." Takato couldn't take it "No! That's impossible! We were best friends ever, there is no reason…" "They envied you." Gats interfered "Me?" nervously asked Takato, Gats nodded "Not only you also you Rika and you Henry and your friend Ryo. They were jealous of the power you had and so a small shadow of jealousy had turned your friends into dark tamers." Gats said calmly and sat on a chair, Takato was desperate "Is there a way to save them?" he asked.
But Gats answer had left him hopeless "Until they destroy you the source of their power, there will never become their normal selves." Suddenly the owner of the bar came out with hot bowls of ramen and with cups filled with green liquid "Eat up kids and don't talk too much." He said and gave out the ramen and left back into the kitchen. "Well let's eat." Said Sergey and took the chop sticks and started eating his and everybody followed his example.
Gats enjoyed her meal and her smile grew wider than she found fish in her soup. Rika's ramen had a light smell of herbs and even soup tasted like a chicken "Try the juice." Said Sergey and made a big gulp from his cap. Rika looked at liquid and took a gulp bigger than Sergey's; then juice entered her mouth it was sour but after a moment it was sweat and minty and she felled her body relaxing and everything seemed now possible.
"Sergey what is that?" she asked and saw that everybody was now chilled and relaxed "That is a mix of lemon and lime with mint, natural stress reducer." He smiled and pointed at Gats; she was so relaxed that she almost fell from chair until Sergey captured her on his hand and putted her back.
"And about your friends, Takato you saw that there is a chance of curing them but for now if they ever show up we will kick their digi-butts back into the shadows from which they came." He said and all of them cheered and continued to enjoy their food. After extra portions everybody was filled with ramen and lemon juice "Excuse me, bill please." Said Sergey and passed his credit card to the old man, he smiled and went back to the kitchen and after few minutes returned with a check and gaveit to Sergey.
Sergey signed the check and took his credit card back "Okay people, let's move out." He said and putted Gats back on his head and they left the bar, outside they discussed their plans "Okay, I think me and Rika will head home because Gats still need to recover most of her energy and I have to tell my mom about everything that had happen." Said Sergey and looked at Takato and Henry "You guys need to go home too, we need all the energy you have to fight dark tamers." "Who made you a leader?" asked Takato "Wanna fight for it?" Sergey looked at Takato and pulled his digivice out; Takato shivered and called Guilmon "Okay, let's go Guilmon." Guilmon nodded "Okay Takato." And they left "Bye then." said Henry and he and Terriermon left, leaving Rika and Sergey together with their Digimons "Let's go Rika." Said Sergey and Rika nodded.
They walked in silence, Rika looked at Sergey; he putted his hand on a sleeping Gatomon so she wouldn't fall and also Rena was walking along side with him and it looked like they were talking. "Does something bother you Rika?" asked Renamon, Rika looked at her; her eyes were as cold as always "It's nothing, it's just…" "Is it something about Sergey?" Rika blushed "No it's not." She tried to hide it but couldn't "Don't lie to me Rika; I can clearly see that there is something about him that you worry about." Rika had no choice but to give up "It's not just Sergey, but something specific…" "BlackRenamon?" asked Renamon, Rika nodded "Yeah, how can he normally walk then he knows that he could take him over again?" That sounded more like a worry and not like question to Renamon but she answered "You remember that last time it was you who brought Sergey back, so it's look like while you are near him; the darkness inside him is limited to its actions." Rika again looked at him; he was smiling and she missed that smile all those years and now she was afraid to lose him but this time he wouldn't just leave, he would turn into a creature that could destroy both worlds in the glimpse of a second.
Her mind was filled with questions but his voice again woke her from her thoughts "Is something wrong Rika?" he asked, she looked him in the eyes, he was looking at her and she could see in his eyes that he was worried about her "No, no nothing is wrong. What can be wrong?" she was a bad liar and he could see on her face that she was lying.
He sighed and asked "If you fear me that much just tell me, I will move to the hotel and I won't disturb you." His words were hitting her straight in the heart and he was right in some way; she feared that Black Renamon would take him away from her. He looked at her, he was seeing that she was afraid of him; that meant that she made her decision "Rika Nonaka, from now own I promise never to contact you or your friends until I find a way how to control Black Renamon. I will only take my luggage and I will leave you."
After hearing those words Rika's heart was broken, her emotions turned into a giant ocean which she couldn't control and she couldn't hold them anymore. It was first time than Renamon saw her tamer shiver then suddenly she started to cry, she rushed at Sergey and pressed against him "No, please don't leave." The tears were all around her face "I don't want to lose you again, I need you!" she shouted; her voice was breaking because of the tears, she didn't want him to leave, she wanted him to be hers.
Sergey looked at her and something inside his mind told him "Idiot, that girl has a crush on you and you act like some dumb hero. Drop the act and hug her and apologies to her right now!" Sergey followed what the voice had told him and hugged her and whispered to her ear "I am sorry, I promise that I won't leave you, I don't want to see you cry ever again." He said and hugged her tighter, Rika felt the warmth coming from him; she never felt something like that before, not even from Takato or any other person she had ever met, he was special.
Rena stood and looked at that dilemma, if somebody would look at her they would see that she was jealous; she envied Rika that she was a human and she was only half a human and she wasn't sure that Sergey's blood would affect her so she would look like a human. She sighed and again looked at them, the only thing she knew that she will never give up until Sergey would only be hers and hers only.
Sergey felt an envying look from Rena and he also felt that his t-shirt got wet from Rika's tears; the only person that was calm was now sleeping on his head and he didn't know what to do. "Okay Rika, you can now let me go. I won't leave you." "Sob, you promise? Sob" asked Rika and looked him on the eyes, he nodded and she left his hands. "Wait a sec." he said and took out a napkin from his bag "Here use it." He gave it to Rika and she removed her tears and blew her nose "You okay now?" he asked "Yeah." She nodded; she wanted to give back the napkin but he stopped her and looked her in the eyes "Please keep it." He said and looked at Rena, then she noticed him looking at her; she blushed and came closer to him.
"Okay Rena, now it's you turn to carry Gats." He said and gently removed her from his head and putted in Rena's hands, she shivered "But Sergey, I am not like you. I could drop or hurt her by accident." He only smiled and said "Rena, I trust you like myself." Rena blushed and holded Gats tighter and they continued walking, "So, any plans for tomorrow?" asked Sergey, "Well not exactly." Said Rika and she started to think "Hmm, what to do what to do?" she asked herself in her mind then she heard and a peaceful meow.
She turned and saw that Gats had curled in Rena's hands and meowing in her dreams, from a side Rena looked like a young mother carrying her child. "If Gatomon meows in her dreams that mean that there nothing that disturbs her and that her tamer perfectly satisfies all her needs." Said Sergey, Rika was shocked "How do you know?" she asked him, instead of answering; he opened his bag and searched for something in there until he found it he cursed that object 5 times and then showed it to Rika. "What is that?" she asked, this time Sergey answered "This is the mark of the "Data and Vaccine Kingdom" so I know allot about data and vaccine type Digimon." The mark was a wide rectangle that had a shield and a sword crossed together with a symbol that looked like knight. "Are you a knight?" Rika asked, Sergey nodded and answered "Well kind of." He putted the mark back and said "My duty as a knight is to beat all the evil that threatens "Data and Vaccine Kingdom" and since the continent of sovereigns is an ally of the kingdom, I must beat the dark tamers."
For a moment Rika imagined Sergey wearing knight's armor and giggled, "What are laughing at?" he asked as he heard her giggling, she blushed and answered "At that, you would look cute in the knight's armor." She said and giggled again, Sergey signed and said "Girls, you may never understand them." "You are right." Said Rika and they continued walking. They reached her house in no time, "Grandma! We are home!" shouted Rika as they entered the house; her grandma was in a living room talking on a phone, then she noticed then she called Sergey "Sergey your mother is on a phone and she wants to talk to you and Rena." Sergey nodded and took the phone from Rika's grandma and answered "Hi mom!" he said, but after few minutes his face became pale and the only things he was saying were yes and no.
Then he gave phone to Rena, she started to shiver and answering yes and no also. After few hours they stopped talking and put the phone away, both of them sat on a sofa and literally melted on it. Rika was shocked by such picture "What happened?" she asked them, they turned their heads at her direction and answered together "Mom totally scolded us." They said and Sergey took a remote and switched on TV and both of them stared at it for a while until Gats woke up and shouted "Wake up!" both Sergey and Rena shacked and looked at Gats, she moved back and expected them to attack but instead they stood up and stretch "Thanks Gats for waking us." Said Sergey "Yeah, what we would do without you?" said Rena and hugged Gats. Gats smiled and Rika entered the room "I see that you are okay now, that's good." She said and said on a sofa with them, they watched a comedy program for a while until Sergey stood up and left.
He came back with a laptop and a cable and asked "Where can I connect it to charge?" he asked and Rika pointed at the socket and Sergey connected his laptop and switched it on, he turned and no one could see what was he up to until Rika out of curiosity came closer and piped; she saw that Sergey was on some social page writing something "What is that?" she asked and Sergey suddenly turned. His face quickly became red "It's nothing, it's really nothing." He tried to lie but she could clearly see on his face that he was lying "Okay, I won't look." She said and pretended to turn, Sergey sighed and wanted to turn back to the screen but Rika suddenly turned back and pushed him away from the screen.
"No!" shouted Sergey but Rika didn't listen she looked at the screen; she expected to see something erotic but on the screen she saw a forum where was held a discussion about training of the Digimon which gender was opposite of their tamer's. "What is that?" Rika asked as she turned away from the screen "This is a web site where tamers from all over chat about their Digimon and share strategies and combination, there are also rankings." "Can I check mine?" asked Rika, Sergey nodded "Yes, but I need your digivice first." He said "Why do you need my digivice?" she asked, he sighed and answered "In order to access the site, the computer must read information about the tamer from the digivice." He said and Rika gave him her digivice, he took out some cable which he then connected to the digivice. The digivice glowed and an information screen appeared on the monitor "Here you are, your name and age and a winning ratio, now calculating your rank." He said and started to type something in the computer, after few minutes he looked at her and said "You are ranked third." Rika was confused "And who is first?" she asked and looked at the screen; the first was ranked was Sergey, then Rio, then she, then Takato, then Henry, then Kenta, then Kazu and Jeri and the other two were the people she didn't knew.
"Why are you ranked first?" "Well, because I fought much more battles than you guys and I also lost only once and that's it." He said and smiled, Rika started to get angry "But you didn't fight the d-reaper and I bet that you would have no chance against it." She said and looked really proud of her self, but Sergey broke her pride in a second "I calculated my chances against d-reaper; I would beat it in 4 hours and 30 minutes with less casualties." He said and closed his laptop "With my strategy and armor, I would destroy the d-reaper in much less time than you guys did." His words took Rika's pride and tore it into pieces; few tears appeared on her eyes "If you are soo strong, then why won't you handle the dark tamers on your own or maybe the whole "Virus Empire"?"Sergey looked at her with the coldest gaze "I could, but if the power of Black Renamon will again go berserk…" "Then just get lost! You don't deserve to be a knight!" shouted Rika and stormed out from the room; Sergey simply sat on a sofa and looked at the TV "How can you be like this?" Rena asked him, he simply shrugged his shoulders; that made Rena angry "How can you take this soo lightly? Urgh! I am going to calm Rika and better think about your behavior and make a good apology for her or I will tear you heart out and make a good napkin out of it." Said Rena and left the room, Sergey looked at Gats and asked "Why are you girls are always soo complicated?" she only purred and lay on the sofa.
Outside Rika was sitting near the pond and where she was throwing rocks in the water "Stupid Sergey, how can he treat me like that?" "You know what; I was always asking myself this question." She turned and saw Rena behind her, she again turned back to the water and said "Are you here to calm me and say that what I did was wrong?" but Rena simply sat beside her. "You know, sometimes Sergey can be a total jerk and the pain in the ass." "Yeah, you are right." Said Rika and Rena continued "But he is the way he is because he wants to be a match to you and your friends."
Rika was confused by Rena's words "To match us?" she asked and Rena nodded "Yes, then he first saw you guys on TV and your power; he was amused and in the same time he knew that one day he would face you guys and so he started to train hard. He worked on himself and on his strategies, we also fought countless battles which were making us stronger and in same time he was worried that I can get hurt and he wouldn't forgive himself if I got hurt. So he developed thousands strategies to beat any opponent and his title of a knight is just a mark that proved that he was strong." Rika was amused by Rena's words "Do you remember the surprise he made?" Rika nodded, Rena smiled and said "He planned everything, he even predicted correctly the cards and attacks that were used in battle and he found a way to counter them."
Rena looked at the moon "And you know what his other reason to be strong is?" "Well, I could only guess." Said Rika and Rena answered "He wants to protect you." "Me?" Rika asked, Rena nodded and answered "Not only you, it's also me, his family and now Gats. He wants everyone who cares about him and whom he cares about." Rika looked in the water "So, this is why he is being mean to me?" Rena smiled and sat beside her, "He is being mean, because he is still nervous that something bad may happen to you or that he would lose control over Black Renamon." "Man, how could I treat him like that after what I just heard?" she asked herself in her mind and after few minutes the answer was clear to her.
She stood up and looked at Rena "Thank you Rena, you really helped me out." Rena nodded "Your welcome." She said and Rika went back to a house, "You are good at this." Said a voice behind Rena, she didn't turn back "I just want this idiot to be happy." She said and threw a rock, her sister came out from the shadows and sat beside her "I don't understand if you love him, why you didn't use that situation to win Sergey's heart?" Rena only smiled "My silly little sister if I would take his heart right now it wouldn't be interesting and now I have two rivals to fight for Sergey's heart and then I win he will be all mine." Her sister could only sigh "Oh, well this is going to be interesting." She thought in her mind and both them looked at the reflection of the moon in the water.
Inside the house Rika was standing in front of the door to a living room, she wasn't entering because she didn't know what to say or how to act in front of Sergey. "Okay, I will enter and pretend that I don't notice him. Then I will start talking to him and slow by slow will apologies." She said to herself and opened the door; she expected to see Sergey on the sofa but instead he was sitting on his knees in the bowed position with his face on floor "Rika, I am really sorry for the way I acted and spoke and I understand that after this you will refuse to be my friend and so I ask you to forgive me and reconsider you decision and as a token of my apologies you can take my credit card and use it as much as you want." Rika was shocked by the way he talked and sat but in same time she felt touched until the deeps of her heart.
She putted on a careless face and answered "Fine, I accept your apology Sergey." She offered him her hand "Besides you promised to be my friend until the end and so I forgive." She pulled him closer to her and hugged him; he smiled and said "Thank you Rika, for everything." The silence was broke by Rika's mother who came back from the photo session and saw this picture. Instead of saying anything she smiled and left the room, both Sergey and Rika had now only one thought in their heads "Awkward."
They let go of each other and Rika looked at the clock it was already 23:00 p.m. "Rika, let's call this a day because I am really tired and besides we now have teach Gats how to take a shower." After hearing a word shower, the cat shivered; as long as she remembered she never had a shower or a bath.
Seeing her shiver Sergey smiled and patted her on her head and said "Don't worry, Rena will go with you and help you. Right Rena?" he asked and Rena appeared behind him "Well I will help if Rika will share your credit card with me." Sergey signed, Rika nodded and said "Sure, we can share it." Rena nodded and came closer to Gats "Let's go little kitten, it's time we teach how to take a shower." Smiled Rena and took Gats pawn, the cat in fear pulled her pawn from the glove and rushed to the Sergey "Please don't let her wash me!" shouted Gats and quickly climbed at Sergey's head and started to shiver on it. "Are you afraid of water soo much?" he asked her, but what she answered sounded silly to him "I afraid that fox will choke me in water and then tell that it was an accident." Sergey picked her up from his head "Don't worry, you can trust Rena. She won't hurt you." He said and looked at Rena; she nodded then he whispered at Gats ear "If what I will be close." That calmed Gats by a bit and she jumped from Sergey's hands and walked towards Rena, they left the room and Sergey signed "Any problems?" asked Rika, he looked at her and answered "No, just one chimera fox and a shy cat." Rika giggled "It's not easy to be a tamer." "Tell me about it." And both of them laughed.
Meanwhile in the other part of the house, the bathroom in Japanese style was actually like a big sauna with a shower and a bath, the toilet was in the other part of the bathroom. We see Rena and Gats, all of their intimate spots are covered in steam so we can't see them. Rena was washing Gats back "Wow, you have such smooth fur and skin." said Rena as she moved the sponge on her back "Umm, Rena?" "Yes?" "What's that feeling that you feel that you are attracted to someone and that you want to be with him and that you want him to be yours?" she asked at Rena and looked at her with eyes filled with curiosity. Rena giggled and answered "That feeling is called love, silly." She said and sprayed water on her head "This is the normal feeling that girl feels towards the boy she likes." She soaped Gats head with a shampoo and she asked her "But what boy do I like?" Rena looked at her and said "Well, that's up to you who do you like and besides you meet only few boys, so now just think which one of them you like." Then Rena washed the shampoo from Gats head and she shivered "Why does this shampoo feels soo cold?" she asked and Rena showed her a pack with that shampoo; on the shampoo were written "Ice Cool" "Why do you use this one?" Gats asked "Well, because I like to feel my fur then it's cold." Said Rena and smiled "So who do you like?" Gats closed her eyes; I her mind she was remembering all the boys she meet and then suddenly the answer became so clear to her "Sergey." She said silently, Rena heard her saying something but she didn't hear it "Whom?" she asked again "Sergey."
"Ah Sergey, SERGEY!" shouted Rena and Gats opened her eyes "Did I just say his name?" she asked herself in her mind. For Rena that was a shook; of course she had a theory that Gats would actually like Sergey but she was not ready to hear that, in her mind she tried to find a solution but the only thing she came up with was to kill Gats and make it look like an accident but suddenly she felt a cold gaze at her.
That gaze felt like a gaze of death; her body started to shiver then she felt an aura of a very power full Digimon and in the same moment all the evil thoughts she had disappeared in to a void of darkness. "Rena are you okay?" asked Gats and Rena looked at her and in the same moment that aura disappeared "Could Gats be that power full?" she asked herself in her mind and Gats repeated her question "Rena are you all right?" "Yeah I am alright." She said and cat smiled "That's good because I was a little worry that you may not like my choice." Rena smiled "I actually like your choice but there is also someone I know who also likes Sergey." "You also like him?" "Yes I do." Said Rena, but suddenly she understood that she played right in to the Gats trap and revealed her secret "So I was right." Said Gats and smiled "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about our little secret." She smiled and sprayed some water at her; Rena shivered and sprayed some water back, they started to spray water at each other and they totally forgot about shampoo.
Because of them it fell and then both of them stepped on it, it sprayed on them completely covered them. "Oh no." said Rena and both of them started to wash it from each other.
Meanwhile outside the bathroom, Rika was going to the bathroom in her bath robe, and then suddenly she noticed a dark figure near the bathroom. She silently came and tried to attack him from the back, but he suddenly turned and she saw that it was actually was Sergey.
He was shocked by her appearing "What are you doing here?" she asked and then she noticed a small hole and she guessed "Ah you were peeping while Rena and Gats were washing, you pervert!" she shouted and tried to slap him but he catched her hand and with a cold voice "Rika, I didn't peeped. I promised Gats that I will be near if something would happen." His explanation sounded too truthful that Rika believed him and lowered her hand "Now if you excuse me." He simply turned and walked towards her room.
After few minutes Rena and Gats came from the bathroom covered in towels, they looked at Rika and said "The bath is all yours Rika." Said Rena and then looked "Now let's get you a night shirt to sleep in." Gats nodded and both of them left.
After an hour Rika was already in her bed, Sergey was the last one to take a bath. The door opened and she expected that it would be Sergey but it was Gats, Rika was shocked by how she looked; she was wearing a pink sleeping shirt that was too big for her so it stretched down to her legs. "Can I enter?" she asked and Rika nodded, Gats entered and sat on Sergey's sleeping bag. "I couldn't sleep, Rena snores." She said and Rika giggled, after a minute Sergey entered wearing his pitch black pajama and noticed Gats "Let me guess, Rena's snoring?" Gats nodded. "Okay then you can sleep with me today." He said and opened his sleeping bag, but Gats didn't enter it.
Sergey looked confused "Come on, get in." he said but Gats refused "No, I can sleep on the outside and it's too small for two persons." Sergey smiled and unzipped something and now his bag was big enough for both of them. Sergey noticed that Gats was shivering and he touched her fur, it was cold and Sergey quickly got to the conclusion. They used too much of the shampoo "Come on Gats, get in because of the shampoo you can catch a cold."
But cat again refused, Sergey simply lifted her and putted in the bag and also lay beside her. "No, I can't." she said and tried to get out but Sergey simply putted his hand on her shoulder and said "Don't worry, everything is going to be alright." His voice calmed her and stopped moving "Good night Rika." He said and Rika switched off the light. The night was now in the room.
