Recap: Almost everyone in West Shinjuku had a Digimon partner. Takato was one of the few who didn't have a partner and it made him feel very left out. His friends let him play with their Digimon, hoping he didn't feel so left out, but he still did. That all changed when he had a dream about having a partner. The next day, he met his Digimon partner Guilmon, finding out that Guilmon had waited just for Takato. Then Takato and Guilmon defeated Tyrannomon and Viralmon together.

Chapter 2: The Digimon Queen
Takato felt a lot happier now. He had a Digimon partner of his own. They didn't meet on the lightest of notes, but they met nonetheless. Guilmon was also a lot happier. After years and years of waiting, he was finally united with his Tamer. They were currently having dinner right now.
"So what do you think of the bread Guilmon?" Takato said.
"This bread is great. I haven't tasted anything like this before," Guilmon responded before continuing to chow down on the stack of bread Takato's parents made.
Takato and his parents smiled at Guilmon's antics. The way Guilmon ate was just like that of a dog. Guilmon didn't eve use his hands to pick up the bread first.
"Whoa Guilmon, slow down. That bread isn't going anywhere," Takato said.
"I'm sorry Takato. It's just that I'm really hungry," Guilmon said befdore going back at the bread. He finished the bread a few minutes later. "That was great," he said.
"Well, there will always be plenty more. This is a bakery as well as a house," Mrs. Matsuda said.
"It's 10:00pm young man. Go upstairs and get ready for bed," Mr. Matsuda said.
"Okay dad," Takato said. He went upstairs with Guilmon following. Takato went to his room. He waited half an hour before going into the bathroom to bathe.
Guilmon wanted to go in the bathroom with Takato, but Takato told him to wait in the bedroom. Half an hour later, Takato came out of the bathroom in his pajamas. He had also brushed his teeth while in the bathroom. He then returned to his bedroom.
"Why couldn't I go in the bathroom with you Takato?" Guilmon asked.
"I went in there to take a bath Guilmon," Takato responded.
"So, what's wrong with me not being able to watch?" Guilmon asked.
"Because I had to get naked Guilmon. That means I had to take my clothes off," Takato responded.
"But I don't have any clothes on," Guilmon politely argued.
"Most Digimon don't wear clothes Guilmon. Other humans like me do though. One thing that most humans don't like is when someone else sees them naked," Takato said.
"Oh, okay Takato," Guilmon said in understanding.
"Now, let's go to bed. I have school in the morning," Takato said.
"What's that Takato?" Guilmon asked.
"School is a place where people like me go to learn. I learn things like math, English, literature, history and other things," Takato responded.
"Can I go with you there?" Guilmon asked.
"Sure you can boy. Except for the students with Meramon or other fiery Digimon, all the students that go to my school have their Digimon with them," Takato responded. He got into bed and lay down. "Good night Guilmon," Takato said yawning before he went to sleep.
"Good night Takato," Guilmon said before going to bed.
It was a peaceful night. The next morning, Takato woke up to his alarm clock going off at exactly 7am.
"I have to get dressed for school boy. Would you wait for me downstairs?" Takato said.
"Okay Takato," Guilmon said before going downstairs.
Takato got dressed and then got his backpack together. Then he went downstairs to have breakfast. Breakfast considered of bread(A/N: which ins't unusual), cereal and juice. After breakfast, Takato slung his backpack over his shoulders and walked to the door
"Have a good day son," Takato's parents said.
"I'll try," Takato said before opening the door. "Come on Guilmon," he added.
"Okay," Guilmon said before following his Tamer out the door. "I can't wait to see what your school is like."
"It's okay for the most part. There are bullies there though," Takato said.
"What's a bully?" Guilmon asked.
Takato was about to answer when Guilmon suddenly tackled him. Then Guilmon helped Takato back up. Takato could se a feral look in Guilmon's eyes again. Guilmon wouldn't go feral like this unless there was a threat. Takato looked ahead and saw glowing white shards sticking out of a tree.
'Someone or something is attacking us. That's why Guilmon acted the way he did,' Takato thought. He then saw more white shards coming Guilmon's way. "Look out Guilmon!" he shouted.
"Pyro Sphere!" Guilmon shouted.
The red beam of energy disintegrated the white shards.
"Guilmon, let's just get to school before we're late," Takato said.
The feral look disappeared. Guilmon nodded, and the pair continued on their way to schoo. That was until a girl blocked them off. The girl had orange hair tied up into a ponytail. She wore blue jeans, white sneakers and an orange and white T-shirt with a purple broken heart on the chest. They turned but a yellow fox Digimon standing on two legs blocked them off again.
"Can you please get out of the way? Guilmon and I need to go to school," Takato said.
"Not until your Digimon has a battle with my partner Renamon behind you," the girl said.
"If that is what will get you off our backs then fine," Takato said defiantly. He really wasn't in the mood for a battle, but this girl proved to be pretty annoying.
"Looks like we need to show this boy a thing or two Renamon. Walk all over his Digimon," the girl said.
Renamon got into position to fight Guilmon. The feral look was back in Guilmon's eyes. Renamon took the first move by jumping into the air. She spread her arms wide. Glowing white shards began forming all around her.
'So, the shards came from her,' Takato thought.
"Diamond Storm!" Renamon shouted before firing the diamond shards at Guilmon.
"Ready for a boost Guilmon?" Takato asked.
"You know it Tamer," Guilmon responded.
"Okay then," Takaot said. He took out his D-arc and Hyper Speed card. "Digi-Modify! Hyper Speed Activate!"
Guilmon zipped out of the way of the Diamond Storm attack.
"Digi-Modify! Hyper Wing Activate!" Takato shouted.
Guilmon sprouted three pairs of glowing white-feathery wings and flew into the sky. He was still under the influence of the Hyper Speed card. He flew in super fast as his paw glowed. "Rock Breaker!" he shouted when he made contact with Renamon.
Renamon went sailing through the air. She smacked hard against a nearby tree. The impact knocked her unconscious. Rika ran over to Renamon. But Takato and Guilmon went on their way. They had only fifteen minutes to make it to school without being late. The problem with that was that they were 20 minutes away.
Guilmon picked up Takato and flew the rest of the way there under Takato's directions. They made it with plenty of time to spare because Guilmon was still under the Hyper Speed card. When they arrived, Guilmon landed. Then the Hyper Wings disappeared and the Hyper Speed card's influence left him.
"Thanks Guilmon," Takato said.
"No problem Takato. But who was that girl?" Guilmon said.
"I don't know boy. I'll show you the way to my classroom," Takato said. He led Guilmon to the room.
At precisely 7:45am, the bell rang. Ms. Asagi walked into the room. "Good morning class," Ms. Asagi said.
"Good morning Ms. Asagi," the students said.
"Before we begin, I would like to introduce you to a new student. Ms. Nonaka, would you come in here please?" Ms. Asagi said.
A girl with orange hair walked in. She and Takato gasped upon seeing each other. 'That's the boy I saw on my way here,' she thought.
'That's the same girl whose Digimon attacked mine,' Takato thought.
"Class, this is Rika Nonaka," Ms. Asagi said.
The rest of the class did a double take. Rika Nonaka was the famous ice-cold Digimon Queen that everyone was talking about. She was just about unbeatable in the Digimon card game. The only person she lost to was Ryo Akima a.k.a. the Digimon King.
"Okay Rika, you can take a seat behind Takato. Takato, would you raise your hand please?" Ms. Asagi said.
Even though he didn't want to, Takato raised his hand. Rika then took her seat. Then attention she got from the class was annoying.
"What are you all staring at?" she asked angrily.
The others quickly looked away from her. Takato winced at the anger that came from her voice. But he also felt something else coming from her voice. He had a gut feeling that her display of a bad attitude was a cover up for a deeper feeling. He would try to get to know Rika more. Hey, maybe he could find out what she was truly feeling.
Takato's gut feeling was right. Rika didn't want anyone to see how lonely she felt. Her father had abandoned her and her mother when she was only 4-years old. He was a good man to start, but then something happened. He started spending more and more time away from his family. When Rika was 4, he came back. Rika and her mother thought that he had come back, but the truth was that he was moving out.
For 6 years, Rika had gone into depression. She would've stayed that way if not for learning about the Digimon card game. She became obsessed with it. Her attitude also began to change. She became more inward. Whenever someone would ask her what the problem was, she would just snap at him or her, saying that nothing was wrong.
After she had gotten the title of Digimon Queen, she had become a lot more introverted. A year after receiving her title, she had gotten her Digimon partner Renamon. She wanted a strong partner, and Renamon was that partner. Right now though, Rika was glaring at Takato. 'I'll make him pay for humiliating me,' she thought.
Takato felt Rika staring. He chose to ignore her. He knew that she was probably still thinking about how Guilmon beat her partner. 'She's got a serious grudge problem. Maybe I can help her with that too,' he thought.
As the day went on, everyone kept bringing up how Rika Nonaka was now at the school. They knew about her bad attitude and didn't even try to start a conversation with her. The ones to already tried were punched out in five seconds. The hours rolled by, and it was soon lunchtime. Rika got her food and sat in the corner. She didn't want to be near anyone.
She looked up when she heard footsteps coming her way. Takato was coming her way. He was the last person she wanted to see right now. The others who saw Takato walking over towards Rika hoped that Takato wouldn't get punched out either.
"He's either brave or a fool," Kenta said.
"I agree with you there. Trying to talk to Rika is like trying to talk to a brick wall," Terriermon said.
"Terriermon, I thought that we had already talked out this," Henry said sighing.
"Oh come on Henry. She could re-sink the Titanic with her icy attitude," Terriermon said.
Henry just groaned. 'Here we go again,' he thought.
"Terriermon's right Henry," Kazu said.
"See Henry, Kazu agrees with me," Terriermon said.
"I just hope that Rika will want to talk to someone. Everyone else is too afraid to try and be friends with her," Jeri said.
"Hi Rika, do you mind if I sit here?" Takato said.
"Yes I do mind," Rika retorted.
"Look, you might as well cut it out with that attitude of yours because it doesn't faze me," Takato said.
The others gasped. Takato was so going to get it now. Rika fumed at Takato's last statement. Takato amazingly wasn't fazed by Rika's anger either.
"You're dead meat Goggle boy," Rika said. She stood up and aimed a punch right at Takato's face.
Takato simply ducked the move. Guilmon was playing with Takato's friends' Digimon outside near the cafeteria. They heard all the commotion and went to the window to see what was going one. Guilmon's eyes went feral upon seeing Rika trying to hurt Takato. He went into the door and quickly made his way in front of Takato.
"I can handle this boy," Takato said.
Guilmon was ready to protest when Takato gave a reassuring smile. The feral look disappeared, and Guilmon stepped away from Takato.
"You shouldn't have called off your pet Goggle boy," Rika said before throwing another punch at Takato.
This time, Takato blocked the punch. Then he swept his foot under hers. Rika found herself face up on the floor. Takato and Guilmon looked down at her.
"Listen Rika. I just wanted to talk to you. But you decided to fight instead. You have picked the wrong person to fight with. The time Renamon attacked was a fluke because it normally isn't that easy to catch me off guard. I am a 4th degree black belt in karate and am not afraid to use it to defend myself," Takato said before walking away, Guilmon right behind him.
The others were amazed at what Takato did and said. He did the unthinkable. He subdued the Digimon Queen. Jeri, Kazu and Kenta were the most amazed out of everyone. Takato never told them that he did karate. Henry on the other hand was impressed. He didn't think that Takato would be someone to be into karate. Henry was into martial arts himself because he was a brown belt in judo.
"Did you see what he did?" the students asked.
Rika was even angrier now. Not oly had Takato's Digimon humiliated Renamon, but he also humiliated her in front of everyone. Takato was really going to pay now. Rika would see to that.
'That Goggle boy is mince meat,' Rika thought. She then went outside. "Renamon!" she called out.
Renamon phased in next to her Tamer. She saw the angry look in Rika's eyes. "What's wrong Rika?" she asked.
"That Goggle boy humiliated me in front of the whole school. He ducked and blocked my punches. Then he took my feet from underneath me. He and that dino boy Digimon of his are going down," Rika responded.
Renamon shared Rika's anger. She wanted to get back at Guilmon for humiliating her like Takato humiliated Rika. Meanwhile, Henry, Jeri, Kenta and Kazu had found Takato and Guilmon near a fountain in the park nearby. Takato looked up and smiled upon seeing them. He saw the amazed looks in everyone except Henry's faces.
"What's up guys?" Takato asked.
"You never told us that you knew karate," Jeri said.
"I'm sorry about that. I kept wanting to tell you, but I always got sidetracked," Takato said.
"I was impressed Takato. I'm taking martial arts myself. I'm a brown belt in judo," Henry said.
"I've heard of judo. I heard that it's a real challenge to learn," Takato said.
"It is a challenge. The more you do it though, the better you get," Henry said.
"I've always wanted to learn judo," Takato said.
"And I have always wanted to learn karate," Henry said.
"Seems like we can do each other a favor here. If our parents give us the okay, I'll show you karate, and you can show me judo," Takato said.
"I'm all up for that," Henry said. "I'll take you to my class. Class is every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday night at 5pm. My class is at a later time, but I have to be there at 5pm because I am the assistant sensei. "
"I'm also the assistant sensei of my class. Class is every Monday and Friday and starts at 6pm," Takato said.
The rest of the day went without incident. Or it seemingly went without incident. During the lunch hour, Rika and Renamon plotted their revenge against Takato and Guilmon. The end of the day bell would spell trouble. The end bell rang at 3pm sharp. Takato got the books needed to do his homework before starting on the way home. He had three hours before class. He and Guilmon were barely out of the front door when glowing white shards came at them.
"Duck Guilmon!" Takato shouted before laying down flat on the ground.
Guilmon just stood there confused. He didn't know what duck meant. Takato saw Guilmon's confusion and swept his arm under Guilmon's left leg. Guilmon fell to the ground just as the white shards sailed over them.
"What does duck mean?" Guilmon asked.
"There are two meanings to the word duck. One meaning is a type of bird. Duck also means to get down. You probably noticed the urgency in my voice. Whenever someone yells duck with urgency, it is a signal to get down," Takato responded. He slowly got up.
Guilmon got up as well. He sniffed around the area and went feral immediately. He knew that Rika and Renamon were close by.
"Don't tell me. Rika and Renamon are near right?" Takato said.
Guilmon only nodded before focusing his attention straight ahead again. A low growl escaped his lips. Riak soon stepped out from her hiding place. She then pointed her blue D-arc at Guilmon. But she couldn't get any information on the red dino.
"Stupid piece of junk. Why can't I get any info on this dino boy?" Rika wondered.
"Guilmon is the only Digimon of his kind Rika. I found out that only my D-arc can give information on him," Takato said.
"Why is that?" Rika asked.
"That is because the D-arc that Takato has appeared next to me when I was born," Guilmon responded.
"It doesn't matter that I can't get any info on your pet. Like you said about Renamon attacking you earlier, it was just a fluke that dino boy was able to defeat Renamon. We'll prove that to you. Walk all over dino boy Renamon," Rika said.
"I am ready Rika," Renamon said.
Guilmon snapped is head in the direction of the voice. He then quickly dodged Renamon's Diamond Storm. "I grow tired of this. Takato needs to get ready for his class tonight. I'll end this right now. Pyro Sphere!" Guilmon said.
The red beam of energy sailed for Renamon. She used fine agility to easily dodge the attack. She launched another Diamond Storm. But Guilmon dodged like he did the first time.
"Hey, what do you thing you're doing?" a male voice asked.
Takato and Guilmon looked to see Henry and Terriermon running their way. Renamon took advantage of the distraction and aimed another Diamond Storm at Guilmon. Takato quickly turned and saw the oncoming attack. He placed himself in between Guilmon and the attack. The attack made contact with him.
"Aaahhh!" Takato screamed in pain before falling to the ground.
"Takato!" Guilmon, Henry and Terriermon shouted.
"Pyro Sphere!" Guilmon angrily shouted.
This time, the attack rocketed towards Renamon at unimaginable speeds. She wasn't fast enough to dodge this time. She was hit hard because Guilmon's anger greatly fueled his attack. She was sent flying into the side of the school building, going unconscious on impact. Guilmon huffed before rushing to his injured Tamer's side.
"I heard of your Digimon partner Rika. What she did was intolerable. It is said that Renamon have a good sense of honor, and she did a very dishonorable thing," Henry said.
Rika couldn't find anything to say. What Takato did stunned her beyond all reason. He actually got in front of his partner, knowing that he would get hurt. Renamon had regained her bearings. She had two reasons to barely believe what happened. One was what Takato did, but the other was that she did perform a very dishonorable act.
'What was I thinking? Even when I fought wild Digimon, I never attacked when someone else was closeby,' Renamon thought. She phased out, not wanting to carry out the battle any further.
"Do you have anything to say Rika?" Henry asked.
"Rika still looked mesmerized.
"I don't think that you're going to get a response Henry. Queenie isn't home," Terriermon said. "Let's help Takato home."
Henry nodded. He helped Guilmon stand Takato up. He put one of Takato's arms around his shoulders, and Guilmon placed the other arm around his shoulders. Terriermon climbed up to the top of Henry's head. Henry and Guilmon took Takato home. Upon arriving, Terriermon jumped down and knocked on the door.
Mr. Matsuda opened the door. He gasped upon seeing his injured son. "What happened to him?" he asked as he left Guilmon and the others in.
"I'll take him now," Guilmon said.
Henry nodded and let go of Takato. Guilmon brought Takato to the couch and lay him down on it. Mrs. Matsuda then came into the living room. She almost fainted upon looking at her son.
"A new student at our school and her Digimon did this. My home is only a five-minute walk from the school. I wanted to meet up with Takato to tell him that my parents gave me the okay to take karate in his class. I was just about there when I saw Guilmon battling a yellow fox Digimon called Renamon.
I wanted to know what was going on so I asked. Takato and Guilmon turned their attention towards me. But Renamon launched her Diamond Storm attack, trying ot take advantage of the distraction. The attack was aimed at Guilmon, but he was too distracted to notice. Takato did however and got in front of him. The attack impatcted Takato instead. Guilmon and I then rushed him here," Henry responded.
"Thank you very much young man," Mr. Matsuda said.
"You're welcome," Henry said.
"What is your name and who is the little cutie on your shoulder?" Mrs. Matsuda asked.
Terriermon blushed.
"My name is Henry Wong, and this is my Digimon parnter Terriermon," Henry responded.
Mr. Matsuda called the dojo immediately afterwards. The sensie always came early to get the equipment set up. The phone rang and the sensei picked it up.
"Hello," the sensei said. This sensei was a female.
"Good afternoon Sensei Tsung, this is Mr. Matsuda," Mr. Matsuda said.
"Oh, good afternoon. How are you?" Sensei Tsung asked.
"I'm fine. I'm calling to say that Takato won't be in class tonight. He was badly injured on his way home," Mr. Matsuda said.
"Oh my, well tell him that I hope he gets better. I'll tell the students why he won't be here," Sensei Tsung said.
"I will and goodbye," Mr. Matsuda said before hanging up. He then called 911.
An ambulance was on its way. Mr. Matsuda then went back over to his wife and the others.
"What did Sensei Tsung say?" Mr. Matsuda asked.
"She told me to tell Takato to get better and will tell the students why Takato won't be able to make it," Mr. Matsuda responded.
The sirens could soon be heard outside. Mrs. Matsuda let the paramedics in, and they took Takato away on a stretcher. Guilmon, Henry and Terriermon rode in the ambulance with Takato. Takato's parents followed in their car. The drive to the hospital was a quick ten minutes because of virtually no traffic on the roadway.
The paramedics wasted no time in rushing Takato inside the hospital. Guilmon went inside as well. After parking the car, Mr. and Mrs. Matsuda joined Henry and Terriermon outside. Then they went in as well. They went straight into the waiting room to wait with Guilmon.
"I hope that it's not too serious," Henry said.
"We all do," Mr. Matsuda said. Then he turned to Henry. "You said that your parents told you it was all right for you to be in Takato's karate class. Can I assume that he told you about that?"
"Yes, Takato did tell me about that. At lunchtime today, he wanted to talk with Rika. But she had a very bad attitude and wouldn't talk to anyone. Takato actually stood up to her, which she didn't like. She tried to punch him, but he ducked.
She was mad and tried to punch him again, but he blocked and then foot swept her before leaving the cafeteria. His friends and I followed him outside, and that's when I told him that I was also into martial arts. I'm a brown belt in judo. He said that he always wanted to take judo. Well I always wanted to take karate. So we made a deal that if you gave the okay, I would teach him judo. If my parents gave the okay, he would teach me karate," Henry responded.
"Well it's okay with me to teach Takato judo. You can start after he gets better," Mrs. Matsuda said as her husband nodded.
Meanwhile, Rika still couldn't believ what Takato did earlier today. She was currently in her room. 'Why did Goggle boy do that? He knew that he would get hurt. Is there something I don't know about Digimon?' Rika thought. She instantly dismissed that last thought. 'Nah, I'm the Digimon Queen. I know more about Digimon that he does. But why does it suddenly seem that I don't know anything about Digimon?'
Renamon was outside the house in a nearby tree. Like Riak, she was also doing some thinking. 'That boy risked his life to protect his Digimon from my dishonorable act. I still can't believe that I let my anger towards my first battle with him get in my way that badly. I usually don't hold grudges. I guess Rika's starting to rub on me,' she thought.
Rika would find out about the most important thing about being a Tamer. That was to have a bond with your Digimon partner. Takato and Guilmon had only been together for two days, but it already seemed like there were together for much longer. The bond between Rika and Renamon was just partners and not friends. But a Digimon with an icy personality watched Rika from the Digital World, waiting for the opportunity to claim her as his own Tamer. This Digimon would test Rika and Renamon's bond in a very big way.
Well, here is the end of Chapter 2. And more twists came out. Preview for Chapter 3: The Icy Foe: While Takato recovers from Renamon's attack, a cold Digimon schemes on how to have Rika as his own Tamer. Will this icy Digimon get what he wants or can Renamon help? You'll have to stick around to find out the answer.
The next story to be updated will be Digimon 02: The Strength of Friendship.

Takato felt a lot happier now. He had a Digimon partner of his own. They didn't meet on the lightest of notes, but they met nonetheless. Guilmon was also a lot happier. After years and years of waiting, he was finally united with his Tamer. They were currently having dinner right now.
"So what do you think of the bread Guilmon?" Takato said.
"This bread is great. I haven't tasted anything like this before," Guilmon responded before continuing to chow down on the stack of bread Takato's parents made.
Takato and his parents smiled at Guilmon's antics. The way Guilmon ate was just like that of a dog. Guilmon didn't eve use his hands to pick up the bread first.
"Whoa Guilmon, slow down. That bread isn't going anywhere," Takato said.

"Well, there will always be plenty more. This is a bakery as well as a house," Mrs. Matsuda said.

"Oh, okay Takato," Guilmon said in understanding.
"Now, let's go to bed. I have school in the morning," Takato said.
"What's that Takato?" Guilmon asked.
"School is a place where people like me go to learn. I learn things like math, English, literature, history and other things," Takato responded.
"Can I go with you there?" Guilmon asked.
"Sure you can boy. Except for the students with Meramon or other fiery Digimon, all the students that go to my school have their Digimon with them," Takato responded. He got into bed and lay down. "Good night Guilmon," Takato said yawning before he went to sleep.
"Good night Takato," Guilmon said before going to bed.
It was a peaceful night. The next morning, Takato woke up to his alarm clock going off at exactly 7am.
"I have to get dressed for school boy. Would you wait for me downstairs?" Takato said.
"Okay Takato," Guilmon said before going downstairs.
Takato got dressed and then got his backpack together. Then he went downstairs to have breakfast. Breakfast considered of bread(A/N: which ins't unusual), cereal and juice. After breakfast, Takato slung his backpack over his shoulders and walked to the door
"Have a good day son," Takato's parents said.
"I'll try," Takato said before opening the door. "Come on Guilmon," he added.
"Okay," Guilmon said before following his Tamer out the door. "I can't wait to see what your school is like."
"It's okay for the most part. There are bullies there though," Takato said.
"What's a bully?" Guilmon asked.
Takato was about to answer when Guilmon suddenly tackled him. Then Guilmon helped Takato back up. Takato could se a feral look in Guilmon's eyes again. Guilmon wouldn't go feral like this unless there was a threat. Takato looked ahead and saw glowing white shards sticking out of a tree.
'Someone or something is attacking us. That's why Guilmon acted the way he did,' Takato thought. He then saw more white shards coming Guilmon's way. "Look out Guilmon!" he shouted.
"Pyro Sphere!" Guilmon shouted.
The red beam of energy disintegrated the white shards.
"Guilmon, let's just get to school before we're late," Takato said.
The feral look disappeared. Guilmon nodded, and the pair continued on their way to schoo. That was until a girl blocked them off. The girl had orange hair tied up into a ponytail. She wore blue jeans, white sneakers and an orange and white T-shirt with a purple broken heart on the chest. They turned but a yellow fox Digimon standing on two legs blocked them off again.
"Can you please get out of the way? Guilmon and I need to go to school," Takato said.
"Not until your Digimon has a battle with my partner Renamon behind you," the girl said.
"If that is what will get you off our backs then fine," Takato said defiantly. He really wasn't in the mood for a battle, but this girl proved to be pretty annoying.
"Looks like we need to show this boy a thing or two Renamon. Walk all over his Digimon," the girl said.
Renamon got into position to fight Guilmon. The feral look was back in Guilmon's eyes. Renamon took the first move by jumping into the air. She spread her arms wide. Glowing white shards began forming all around her.
'So, the shards came from her,' Takato thought.
"Diamond Storm!" Renamon shouted before firing the diamond shards at Guilmon.
"Ready for a boost Guilmon?" Takato asked.
"You know it Tamer," Guilmon responded.
"Okay then," Takaot said. He took out his D-arc and Hyper Speed card. "Digi-Modify! Hyper Speed Activate!"
Guilmon zipped out of the way of the Diamond Storm attack.
"Digi-Modify! Hyper Wing Activate!" Takato shouted.
Guilmon sprouted three pairs of glowing white-feathery wings and flew into the sky. He was still under the influence of the Hyper Speed card. He flew in super fast as his paw glowed. "Rock Breaker!" he shouted when he made contact with Renamon.
Renamon went sailing through the air. She smacked hard against a nearby tree. The impact knocked her unconscious. Rika ran over to Renamon. But Takato and Guilmon went on their way. They had only fifteen minutes to make it to school without being late. The problem with that was that they were 20 minutes away.
Guilmon picked up Takato and flew the rest of the way there under Takato's directions. They made it with plenty of time to spare because Guilmon was still under the Hyper Speed card. When they arrived, Guilmon landed. Then the Hyper Wings disappeared and the Hyper Speed card's influence left him.
"Thanks Guilmon," Takato said.
"No problem Takato. But who was that girl?" Guilmon said.
"I don't know boy. I'll show you the way to my classroom," Takato said. He led Guilmon to the room.
At precisely 7:45am, the bell rang. Ms. Asagi walked into the room. "Good morning class," Ms. Asagi said.
"Good morning Ms. Asagi," the students said.
"Before we begin, I would like to introduce you to a new student. Ms. Nonaka, would you come in here please?" Ms. Asagi said.
A girl with orange hair walked in. She and Takato gasped upon seeing each other. 'That's the boy I saw on my way here,' she thought.
'That's the same girl whose Digimon attacked mine,' Takato thought.
"Class, this is Rika Nonaka," Ms. Asagi said.
The rest of the class did a double take. Rika Nonaka was the famous ice-cold Digimon Queen that everyone was talking about. She was just about unbeatable in the Digimon card game. The only person she lost to was Ryo Akima a.k.a. the Digimon King.
"Okay Rika, you can take a seat behind Takato. Takato, would you raise your hand please?" Ms. Asagi said.
Even though he didn't want to, Takato raised his hand. Rika then took her seat. Then attention she got from the class was annoying.
"What are you all staring at?" she asked angrily.
The others quickly looked away from her. Takato winced at the anger that came from her voice. But he also felt something else coming from her voice. He had a gut feeling that her display of a bad attitude was a cover up for a deeper feeling. He would try to get to know Rika more. Hey, maybe he could find out what she was truly feeling.
Takato's gut feeling was right. Rika didn't want anyone to see how lonely she felt. Her father had abandoned her and her mother when she was only 4-years old. He was a good man to start, but then something happened. He started spending more and more time away from his family. When Rika was 4, he came back. Rika and her mother thought that he had come back, but the truth was that he was moving out.
For 6 years, Rika had gone into depression. She would've stayed that way if not for learning about the Digimon card game. She became obsessed with it. Her attitude also began to change. She became more inward. Whenever someone would ask her what the problem was, she would just snap at him or her, saying that nothing was wrong.
After she had gotten the title of Digimon Queen, she had become a lot more introverted. A year after receiving her title, she had gotten her Digimon partner Renamon. She wanted a strong partner, and Renamon was that partner. Right now though, Rika was glaring at Takato. 'I'll make him pay for humiliating me,' she thought.
Takato felt Rika staring. He chose to ignore her. He knew that she was probably still thinking about how Guilmon beat her partner. 'She's got a serious grudge problem. Maybe I can help her with that too,' he thought.
As the day went on, everyone kept bringing up how Rika Nonaka was now at the school. They knew about her bad attitude and didn't even try to start a conversation with her. The ones to already tried were punched out in five seconds. The hours rolled by, and it was soon lunchtime. Rika got her food and sat in the corner. She didn't want to be near anyone.
She looked up when she heard footsteps coming her way. Takato was coming her way. He was the last person she wanted to see right now. The others who saw Takato walking over towards Rika hoped that Takato wouldn't get punched out either.
"He's either brave or a fool," Kenta said.
"I agree with you there. Trying to talk to Rika is like trying to talk to a brick wall," Terriermon said.
"Terriermon, I thought that we had already talked out this," Henry said sighing.
"Oh come on Henry. She could re-sink the Titanic with her icy attitude," Terriermon said.
Henry just groaned. 'Here we go again,' he thought.
"Terriermon's right Henry," Kazu said.
"See Henry, Kazu agrees with me," Terriermon said.
"I just hope that Rika will want to talk to someone. Everyone else is too afraid to try and be friends with her," Jeri said.
"Hi Rika, do you mind if I sit here?" Takato said.
"Yes I do mind," Rika retorted.
"Look, you might as well cut it out with that attitude of yours because it doesn't faze me," Takato said.
The others gasped. Takato was so going to get it now. Rika fumed at Takato's last statement. Takato amazingly wasn't fazed by Rika's anger either.
"You're dead meat Goggle boy," Rika said. She stood up and aimed a punch right at Takato's face.
Takato simply ducked the move. Guilmon was playing with Takato's friends' Digimon outside near the cafeteria. They heard all the commotion and went to the window to see what was going one. Guilmon's eyes went feral upon seeing Rika trying to hurt Takato. He went into the door and quickly made his way in front of Takato.
"I can handle this boy," Takato said.
Guilmon was ready to protest when Takato gave a reassuring smile. The feral look disappeared, and Guilmon stepped away from Takato.
"You shouldn't have called off your pet Goggle boy," Rika said before throwing another punch at Takato.
This time, Takato blocked the punch. Then he swept his foot under hers. Rika found herself face up on the floor. Takato and Guilmon looked down at her.
"Listen Rika. I just wanted to talk to you. But you decided to fight instead. You have picked the wrong person to fight with. The time Renamon attacked was a fluke because it normally isn't that easy to catch me off guard. I am a 4th degree black belt in karate and am not afraid to use it to defend myself," Takato said before walking away, Guilmon right behind him.
The others were amazed at what Takato did and said. He did the unthinkable. He subdued the Digimon Queen. Jeri, Kazu and Kenta were the most amazed out of everyone. Takato never told them that he did karate. Henry on the other hand was impressed. He didn't think that Takato would be someone to be into karate. Henry was into martial arts himself because he was a brown belt in judo.
"Did you see what he did?" the students asked.
Rika was even angrier now. Not oly had Takato's Digimon humiliated Renamon, but he also humiliated her in front of everyone. Takato was really going to pay now. Rika would see to that.
'That Goggle boy is mince meat,' Rika thought. She then went outside. "Renamon!" she called out.
Renamon phased in next to her Tamer. She saw the angry look in Rika's eyes. "What's wrong Rika?" she asked.
"That Goggle boy humiliated me in front of the whole school. He ducked and blocked my punches. Then he took my feet from underneath me. He and that dino boy Digimon of his are going down," Rika responded.
Renamon shared Rika's anger. She wanted to get back at Guilmon for humiliating her like Takato humiliated Rika. Meanwhile, Henry, Jeri, Kenta and Kazu had found Takato and Guilmon near a fountain in the park nearby. Takato looked up and smiled upon seeing them. He saw the amazed looks in everyone except Henry's faces.
"What's up guys?" Takato asked.
"You never told us that you knew karate," Jeri said.
"I'm sorry about that. I kept wanting to tell you, but I always got sidetracked," Takato said.
"I was impressed Takato. I'm taking martial arts myself. I'm a brown belt in judo," Henry said.
"I've heard of judo. I heard that it's a real challenge to learn," Takato said.
"It is a challenge. The more you do it though, the better you get," Henry said.
"I've always wanted to learn judo," Takato said.
"And I have always wanted to learn karate," Henry said.
"Seems like we can do each other a favor here. If our parents give us the okay, I'll show you karate, and you can show me judo," Takato said.
"I'm all up for that," Henry said. "I'll take you to my class. Class is every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday night at 5pm. My class is at a later time, but I have to be there at 5pm because I am the assistant sensei. "
"I'm also the assistant sensei of my class. Class is every Monday and Friday and starts at 6pm," Takato said.
The rest of the day went without incident. Or it seemingly went without incident. During the lunch hour, Rika and Renamon plotted their revenge against Takato and Guilmon. The end of the day bell would spell trouble. The end bell rang at 3pm sharp. Takato got the books needed to do his homework before starting on the way home. He had three hours before class. He and Guilmon were barely out of the front door when glowing white shards came at them.
"Duck Guilmon!" Takato shouted before laying down flat on the ground.
Guilmon just stood there confused. He didn't know what duck meant. Takato saw Guilmon's confusion and swept his arm under Guilmon's left leg. Guilmon fell to the ground just as the white shards sailed over them.
"What does duck mean?" Guilmon asked.
"There are two meanings to the word duck. One meaning is a type of bird. Duck also means to get down. You probably noticed the urgency in my voice. Whenever someone yells duck with urgency, it is a signal to get down," Takato responded. He slowly got up.
Guilmon got up as well. He sniffed around the area and went feral immediately. He knew that Rika and Renamon were close by.
"Don't tell me. Rika and Renamon are near right?" Takato said.
Guilmon only nodded before focusing his attention straight ahead again. A low growl escaped his lips. Riak soon stepped out from her hiding place. She then pointed her blue D-arc at Guilmon. But she couldn't get any information on the red dino.
"Stupid piece of junk. Why can't I get any info on this dino boy?" Rika wondered.
"Guilmon is the only Digimon of his kind Rika. I found out that only my D-arc can give information on him," Takato said.
"Why is that?" Rika asked.
"That is because the D-arc that Takato has appeared next to me when I was born," Guilmon responded.
"It doesn't matter that I can't get any info on your pet. Like you said about Renamon attacking you earlier, it was just a fluke that dino boy was able to defeat Renamon. We'll prove that to you. Walk all over dino boy Renamon," Rika said.
"I am ready Rika," Renamon said.
Guilmon snapped is head in the direction of the voice. He then quickly dodged Renamon's Diamond Storm. "I grow tired of this. Takato needs to get ready for his class tonight. I'll end this right now. Pyro Sphere!" Guilmon said.
The red beam of energy sailed for Renamon. She used fine agility to easily dodge the attack. She launched another Diamond Storm. But Guilmon dodged like he did the first time.
"Hey, what do you thing you're doing?" a male voice asked.
Takato and Guilmon looked to see Henry and Terriermon running their way. Renamon took advantage of the distraction and aimed another Diamond Storm at Guilmon. Takato quickly turned and saw the oncoming attack. He placed himself in between Guilmon and the attack. The attack made contact with him.
"Aaahhh!" Takato screamed in pain before falling to the ground.
"Takato!" Guilmon, Henry and Terriermon shouted.
"Pyro Sphere!" Guilmon angrily shouted.
This time, the attack rocketed towards Renamon at unimaginable speeds. She wasn't fast enough to dodge this time. She was hit hard because Guilmon's anger greatly fueled his attack. She was sent flying into the side of the school building, going unconscious on impact. Guilmon huffed before rushing to his injured Tamer's side.
"I heard of your Digimon partner Rika. What she did was intolerable. It is said that Renamon have a good sense of honor, and she did a very dishonorable thing," Henry said.
Rika couldn't find anything to say. What Takato did stunned her beyond all reason. He actually got in front of his partner, knowing that he would get hurt. Renamon had regained her bearings. She had two reasons to barely believe what happened. One was what Takato did, but the other was that she did perform a very dishonorable act.
'What was I thinking? Even when I fought wild Digimon, I never attacked when someone else was closeby,' Renamon thought. She phased out, not wanting to carry out the battle any further.
"Do you have anything to say Rika?" Henry asked.
"Rika still looked mesmerized.
"I don't think that you're going to get a response Henry. Queenie isn't home," Terriermon said. "Let's help Takato home."
Henry nodded. He helped Guilmon stand Takato up. He put one of Takato's arms around his shoulders, and Guilmon placed the other arm around his shoulders. Terriermon climbed up to the top of Henry's head. Henry and Guilmon took Takato home. Upon arriving, Terriermon jumped down and knocked on the door.
Mr. Matsuda opened the door. He gasped upon seeing his injured son. "What happened to him?" he asked as he left Guilmon and the others in.
"I'll take him now," Guilmon said.
Henry nodded and let go of Takato. Guilmon brought Takato to the couch and lay him down on it. Mrs. Matsuda then came into the living room. She almost fainted upon looking at her son.
"A new student at our school and her Digimon did this. My home is only a five-minute walk from the school. I wanted to meet up with Takato to tell him that my parents gave me the okay to take karate in his class. I was just about there when I saw Guilmon battling a yellow fox Digimon called Renamon.
I wanted to know what was going on so I asked. Takato and Guilmon turned their attention towards me. But Renamon launched her Diamond Storm attack, trying ot take advantage of the distraction. The attack was aimed at Guilmon, but he was too distracted to notice. Takato did however and got in front of him. The attack impatcted Takato instead. Guilmon and I then rushed him here," Henry responded.
"Thank you very much young man," Mr. Matsuda said.
"You're welcome," Henry said.
"What is your name and who is the little cutie on your shoulder?" Mrs. Matsuda asked.
Terriermon blushed.
"My name is Henry Wong, and this is my Digimon parnter Terriermon," Henry responded.
Mr. Matsuda called the dojo immediately afterwards. The sensie always came early to get the equipment set up. The phone rang and the sensei picked it up.
"Hello," the sensei said. This sensei was a female.
"Good afternoon Sensei Tsung, this is Mr. Matsuda," Mr. Matsuda said.
"Oh, good afternoon. How are you?" Sensei Tsung asked.
"I'm fine. I'm calling to say that Takato won't be in class tonight. He was badly injured on his way home," Mr. Matsuda said.
"Oh my, well tell him that I hope he gets better. I'll tell the students why he won't be here," Sensei Tsung said.
"I will and goodbye," Mr. Matsuda said before hanging up. He then called 911.
An ambulance was on its way. Mr. Matsuda then went back over to his wife and the others.
"What did Sensei Tsung say?" Mr. Matsuda asked.
"She told me to tell Takato to get better and will tell the students why Takato won't be able to make it," Mr. Matsuda responded.
The sirens could soon be heard outside. Mrs. Matsuda let the paramedics in, and they took Takato away on a stretcher. Guilmon, Henry and Terriermon rode in the ambulance with Takato. Takato's parents followed in their car. The drive to the hospital was a quick ten minutes because of virtually no traffic on the roadway.
The paramedics wasted no time in rushing Takato inside the hospital. Guilmon went inside as well. After parking the car, Mr. and Mrs. Matsuda joined Henry and Terriermon outside. Then they went in as well. They went straight into the waiting room to wait with Guilmon.
"I hope that it's not too serious," Henry said.
"We all do," Mr. Matsuda said. Then he turned to Henry. "You said that your parents told you it was all right for you to be in Takato's karate class. Can I assume that he told you about that?"
"Yes, Takato did tell me about that. At lunchtime today, he wanted to talk with Rika. But she had a very bad attitude and wouldn't talk to anyone. Takato actually stood up to her, which she didn't like. She tried to punch him, but he ducked.
She was mad and tried to punch him again, but he blocked and then foot swept her before leaving the cafeteria. His friends and I followed him outside, and that's when I told him that I was also into martial arts. I'm a brown belt in judo. He said that he always wanted to take judo. Well I always wanted to take karate. So we made a deal that if you gave the okay, I would teach him judo. If my parents gave the okay, he would teach me karate," Henry responded.
"Well it's okay with me to teach Takato judo. You can start after he gets better," Mrs. Matsuda said as her husband nodded.
Meanwhile, Rika still couldn't believ what Takato did earlier today. She was currently in her room. 'Why did Goggle boy do that? He knew that he would get hurt. Is there something I don't know about Digimon?' Rika thought. She instantly dismissed that last thought. 'Nah, I'm the Digimon Queen. I know more about Digimon that he does. But why does it suddenly seem that I don't know anything about Digimon?'
Renamon was outside the house in a nearby tree. Like Riak, she was also doing some thinking. 'That boy risked his life to protect his Digimon from my dishonorable act. I still can't believe that I let my anger towards my first battle with him get in my way that badly. I usually don't hold grudges. I guess Rika's starting to rub on me,' she thought.
Rika would find out about the most important thing about being a Tamer. That was to have a bond with your Digimon partner. Takato and Guilmon had only been together for two days, but it already seemed like there were together for much longer. The bond between Rika and Renamon was just partners and not friends. But a Digimon with an icy personality watched Rika from the Digital World, waiting for the opportunity to claim her as his own Tamer. This Digimon would test Rika and Renamon's bond in a very big way.
Well, here is the end of Chapter 2. And more twists came out. Preview for Chapter 3: The Icy Foe: While Takato recovers from Renamon's attack, a cold Digimon schemes on how to have Rika as his own Tamer. Will this icy Digimon get what he wants or can Renamon help? You'll have to stick around to find out the answer.
The next story to be updated will be Digimon 02: The Strength of Friendship.
