DAEMON'S ESCAPE

BY Howling Wolf

Daemon chuckled even more as he watched the reaction on the tamers' faces. Then turned his focus on Calumon. The small digimon cowered in fear from the mega virus. Daemon grabbed Calumon and held him up to eye level.

"With the combined powers of catalyst and yours hybrid, I shall finely be free of this accursed dimension." Said Daemon.

"There's no way I'll help you." Takato stated.

Daemon laughed. "Oh you will boy. You don't have a choice. Mephistomon hold the girl I don't want her interfering."

Rika struggled in Mephistomon's grip as Daemon grabbed hold of Takao. She watched helplessly as Daemon, Takato, and Calumon started glowing with dark energy. Takato let out a silent scream as he felt the dark energy flood his body. The pain Takato was experiencing was excruciating. Daemon's laughter increased as he watched a dimensional rift open up in front of him. The rift simmered at first and then became more stable.

"Yes. Yes! At last my time of freedom is at hand." Daemon said entering the rift.

Mephistomon entered the portal following his master.

The digital world Eastern Quadrant…..

Gennai wondered what it was that Azulongmon wanted to see him about From the sound of the mega digimon's voice it must have been urgent.

"Greetings, Gennai. I am afraid that I have bad news. Our worst fears have come true." Said Azulongmon.

"You don't mean…"

"Yes. Daemon has escaped the Dark Ocean." Azukongmon said.

"But how Azulongmon? I thought nothing could escape the Dark Ocean." Asked Gennai.

Azulongmon shook his head. "I am afraid I do not know. But the digidestined must be warned."

"Yes. You are right. Daemon will most certainly want revenge, now that he is back."

The Tamer's real world….

Yamaki kept flipping his lighter. It had been two days since Takato and Rika were kidnapped. Hypnos had been busy nonstop since Henry and the others had come back from the park. While the monster makers were trying to find a way to follow Mephistomon, Yamaki had had to inform Rika's family.

That had been an experience that Yamaki didn't wish to repeat any time soon. Rika's mother had not reacted well to the news. `No, not well at all.' Yamaki grimaced as he remembered. The two women had insisted on returning with him. Right now they were talking to Janyu Wong.

While Janyu was busy trying to explain what he and the other monster makers were doing, his son Henry had other problems.

"Dude this place is so cool." Exclaimed Kazu as he watched the monster makers' work.

"Henry just what is it that they're doing?" asked Jeri.

"They're trying to find a way to follow Mephistomon." Henry answered.

"And having very little luck." Dolphin said as he joined them.

"You can't find any way of following them?" Henry asks.

Dolphin shook his head. "Unfortunately we still don't understand how the digimon are bio-emerging. What we really need is a miracle."

"You never know Dolphin. Miracles happen when you least expect them." A voice said.

Surprised they turned around and saw a bearded man dressed in a sweater and slacks grinning at them.

"I don't believe it." Said Dolphin.

"Mr. Dolphin who is that?" asked Jeri shyly.

Dolphin laughed. "Kids let me introduce you to our miracle. This is our missing member Shibumi."

The gateway from the dark ocean to the real world…..

Takato screamed as he felt Daemon force more dark energy through his body. Poor Calumon was near deletion. Angry that he couldn't help his friend, Takato tried again to digivolve. Surprisingly Calumon suddenly reacted to Takato's efforts. As did the dark energy that was flooding them both.

The resulting explosion threw Takato and Rika away from Daemon. They found themselves flying right for the gateway's exit. Rika closed her eyes. Which was a pity for if she had kept her eyes open Rika would have seen Calumon pass right through Takato. The two glowed brightly together for a brief moment, Calumon then just seemed to vanish.

The Digidestineds' real world….

Rika let a yelp as she and Takato tumbled out of the portal. Getting up, Rika turned her attention to Takato. And gasped at what she saw. Takato's hair had turned completely white. On his forehead was the fading image of the catalyst. (A.N.: Just a quick note, I always did like Takato merging with Calumon. So if I am stepping on any one's toes I apologized. But don't worry it won't last long.)

"Um. What's wrong Rika?" Takato asked seeing that Rika was staring at him.

"Nothing goggle head. Just that your hair has turned white." Rika said.

"White? Well that's weird. Any idea where we are? And where Calumon is?"

Rika shrugged. "I haven't seen him since we came out. As to where we are. It looks like a park."

Walking around Takato and Rika saw that several of the children playing in the park had digimon. Confused the two tamers warily left the park. Traveling down the street it almost the same. Nearly every child that they passed had a digimon partner.

"Gees. I've never seen so many digimon." Said Takato.

"Hey Tai wait up."

Takato turned. "Are you talking to me?"

The girl in front of him blushes. "Oops. I'm sorry. It's just that I thought you were my brother."

Takato stared in disbelief at the girl. He couldn't believe who it was that was standing in front of them. Kari Kamiya. One of the original digidestined. Rika didn't like the way Takato had been staring at Kari. With a quick movement, Rika kicked Takato's shin. Takato swallowed his yell.

"I'm Kari. I really am sorry for bothering you. I guess that it was the goggles that fooled me." Said Kari.

"Well Kari, I'm Takato and this is Rika. It's a pleasure to meet you." Takato said.

"Nice to meet you Takato, Rika. Hey I just realized something. Are you two new in town?" Kari asked.

Rika snorted. "You could say that."

Kari smiled. "I'd be happy to show you around then."

"That would be great." Takato said before Rika could reply.

Rika could not believe Takato had agreed to this. It was bad enough to be trapped in a world with out Renamon. But a world that was in a cartoon show was in her opinion worse.

As they walked Kari noticed the d-arcs hanging by Rika and Takato's sides. `Digivices? Could these two be digidestined? If that's so I wonder where their partners are.' Kari thought.

"Are you two digidestined?" she asked.

To Be Continued……

Howling Wolf: Yes I know I only introduced one 02 character. Don't worry the rest the gong and tamers will be in the next chapter.

Digidestineds: WE had better be!

Howling Wolf: Oh great. (I really need to put a lock on that door.) What are you doing in my room?

Yolei: Making sure that you include us in your little story.

Howling Wolf: (shaking his head) You've been talking to Impmon haven't you..

Davis: Maybe just a little.

Howling Wolf: Argh! Impmon!

Somewhere in the digital world, Impmon chuckled.

Impmon: I ges dis means I get ta say g'bye to everyone.
