Chapter 6

The Canyon of Earth

Kenta had been hiding from Rika, who was on the hunt. He was actually doing rather well, at least until Kazu ratted him out, when Rika had threatened him with pain of death.

She opened the secret floor compartment was hiding in, and demanded he follow her. She had to use some `gentle' persuasion, but she managed to drag him to the lounge. (The ark is quite a bit bigger, isn't it :) ) She ordered him to sit, and then sat across the table from him. This had the air of those police interrogations that you see on TV. All that was needed was a bright light to shine in his eyes.

"All right, spit it out!" Rika ordered.

"Spit what out?" Kenta asked, putting on an innocent face. It wasn't a very good one.

"You know what I mean! Why did Thornmon call you a prophet?" Rika asked.

"He's a kook. He wouldn't know a prophet if it whacked him with a giant cartoon mallet." Kenta replied.

"Really." Rika said skeptically. "Then why did you say, `this isn't the time for this', when Thornmon wanted to fight you?"

Now Kenta looked really nervous. "Uh, you know me, saying things for no apparent reason."

"Don't try and fool me."

Takato was nearby. He was rather impressed at Kenta. Whatever secret he was obviously hiding, he wasn't blurting it out under Rika's interrogation. He was a braver kid then he had thought. Not a very good liar, but still brave.

"Kenta! Tell me what he was talking about now!" She ordered again.

Then Kenta glared at her. This caught her by surprise. "Rika, isn't it obvious that I'm not going to tell you. You won't get any information out of me, so drop it." With that, he stood up and walked away, leaving Rika in a state of shock.

`Kenta's acting really strangely.' Takato thought. `I'd never thought I'd see the day that Kenta stood up to Rika.'

Then, Kazu's voice came across the intercom (really big ship). "Thank you for flying on Kazu Airlines. Please buckle your seatbelt, put your trays in an upright position, and put all dorkyness in the nearest garbage can. We are about to land at the Canyon of Winds. If you look out your right window you will see impending doom hunting us."

"Oh goody." Takato remarked.

---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

They were now in a gigantic canyon. It looked like it went forever. Kazu landed at the far end, on the only flat land in the entire canyon. When Rika asked Kazu how he knew it was the only flat ground, he merely tapped his head and said, "A little birdie told me."

Kazu walked over to Takato. "Hey, can I ask a question?" Kazu asked.

"Sure." Takato replied.

"Doe's your spirit talk much?"

"Not really. Why?" Takato asked, perplexed.

"Your lucky. My heads full of constant girl chatter." Kazu said, looking a bit depressed.

"HEY!" Undine yelled.

"What?" Kazu replied. "Its true, isn't it?"

Then, water seemed to come out of thin air, right onto Kazu's head.

"That'll teach you." Undine said.

Takato burst out laughing at this.

"SHUT UP CHUMLY!" Kazu yelled.

Above them, two observers were…observing.

"Bunch of fools. I can't believe the master thinks they are a threat." This came from the first observer. He looked like something that had been dragged out of a swamp. He had sharp claws and long green hair. He had beady eyes, and he was clothed in rags.

"Do not underestimate them. I've heard that they are extremely powerful." The second observer said. This one looked like lava from a volcano. He was human size at the moment, but that was only because he chose to be that small. He had sharp claws, and held a fiery whip. (A/N: have you guessed who this is yet?)

"Bah, I can take them. I'll blast them out of the water." With that he walked off to prepare.

"And they call me a hothead." The second observer sighed.

---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

"HEY TAKATO! SEE ANYTHING YET!?" Henry yelled at the now flying gogglehead.

"NOTHING YET!" He yelled in reply.

"Owwwe, my ears hurt from all this yelling." Calumon said.

Takato landed. "There are too many places to hide here. We'll just have to keep our eyes open."

They walked along the winding canyon, climbing up small cliffs. Most of them got up these easily, except for Kazu, Kenta and Suzie. Henry helped Suzie up, but Kazu and Kenta had to get up on their own.

They walked through tunnels, full of glittering precious stones. The crystals and diamonds glowed and reflected light, creating beautiful beams of multi colored light. Everyone looked at these lights in awe. Kazu looked at all the valuable stones and his eyes lit up.

"Don't even think about, Kazu." Henry said.

"Come on, they wont miss one or two. They've got plenty." Kazu argued.

"Just leave it, Kazu."

"Hmph."

"Takatomon, the light is making fun of me." Guilmon's voice said, as he chased a moving point of light.

"Guilmon," Takato replied. "Light can't make fun of, uwaaa." As the light shined in his eyes. A digignome flew out of an opening, laughing, before it flew away.

"I told you it was making fun of me." Guilmon said.

---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

They soon walked out of the tunnel, to a big open area. "What the…" Kazu exclaimed. In the center was an ugly looking digimon.

"About time, let's fight." He lifted his hands to the sky, and called out, "CALL OF THE MARSHES"

Clouds started swirling overhead as it began to rain, hard. The ground grew muddy, as stone became mud. By the time the rain had stopped, it had turned into a swamp.

"Oh great." Kazu said sarcastically.

"Bogmon, Mega level, Special attack: Mud Shower." Henry read

"Time for a swim." Bogmon said quietly.

With that, he dived into the swampy muck. The tamers couldn't see him, now that he was underneath them.

"This is great, we don't even know where he's going to attack." Rika said.

"I think we should biomerge, Rika." Renamon suggested

"Right."

"Ready boy?" Takato asked

"Ready as two minute noodles."

"Guardromon?" Kazu asked

"Dude, I'm totally into this."

"Hey! Get your own catchphrase."

"Ok, now where is that slimy scumbag." Rika asked.

Takato took to the air, and began looking for Bogmon.

"Hey, Iceandromon," Kazu yelled out "See anything?"

"Yes, mud, stone, tamed digimon, tam…."

"I meant do you see Bogmon!!!"

"Oh, no."

Suddenly, out of the swampy ground, Bogmon launched himself up and grabbed onto Dragoonmon

"I see him, Kazu." Iceandromon yelled.

Then Bogmon pulled Dragoonmon down into the mud and disappeared again, this time with Dragoonmon.

"No, I don't see him, Kazu."

Suddenly, out of the mud, two figures were flung out of the mud. It was Takato and Guilmon.

"Takato, Guilmon, you two okay?" Henry asked.

"Uh, ouch, he's stronger then he looks." Takato said. "Plus, he can move faster in the mud, so he has an advantage. I think he's a dark spirit."

Kazu tried looking around for Bogmon, but he didn't see any sign of him.

"Well, how do you expect to find him if you don't concentrate." Undine remarked.

"What do you mean?" Kazu asked.

"Search him out, don't just sit on your butt doing nothing."

Kazu thought about what she meant. Then he got it. "Iceandromon, charge up your attack."

"Okay." He replied. His guns changed shape into two cannon shape guns, and several small tabs popped up. Ice started to gather in the cannons and the barrel began to glow. Kazu stepped into the water. Suddenly, Kazu's senses increased. He was amazed. He could fell every slight disturbance in the water. He concentrated, looking for the disturbance he was fighting. Then, he picked it up.

"Iceandromon, over there!" He yelled, pointing in a space in front of Infernamon.

Iceandromon turned and fired. "ABSOLUTE ZERO"

His attack rocketed towards the empty space, just as Bogmon launched himself at Infernamon from out of the mud. He was caught in the blast. When the attack was over, Bogmon was frozen in a block of solid ice.

Infernamon was shocked as she saw the dark spirit frozen in ice, an inch away from her. Then, getting over the shock, she smirked at the evil elemental. "Chill, Swampy."

"Grr ee uuu aaa eerrr" Bogmon tried to speak, still alive in the ice. Translated he said. "Get me out of here." Of course, the tamers ignored him and walked off.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Bogmon howled in frustration.

Once the tamers were gone, however, a certain digimon slided down the side of the canyon. As he walked through the swamp, the area around his feet instantly evaporated from the heat he was emanating. He walked to the bogsicle and put a flaming claw on the ice, melting it. A few minutes later, Bogmon was thawed.

"I told you, I told you this would happen, but did you listen, no." The fiery digimon remarked lightly.

"Oh, shut up." Bogmon replied irritably.

"You made such a nice centerpiece. Remind me to freeze you next time I invite the forces of evil over for a mixer."

"I SAID SHUT UP!!!"

"Now that you've been melted, lets talk about the next fight with the tamers."

"Yeah, if we work together, we'll deck em."

"There's no need. I'll contact the base. They'll provide what we need. Oh, and put this on." He said, chucking a small piece of metal at him.

"What's this?"

"A patch program. It'll protect you."

"From what?"

The dark spirit smiled. "You'll see soon enough."

---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

The tamers had settled down for the night. They had set up camp in a small hollow in the rock.

Renamon saw light from outside. It was dim, but worth checking out. She left the hollow and what she saw stunned her. It was a gigantic vortex high up in the sky. She wasn't sure but she thought she saw strange ball shaped objects enter it.

She was about to wake up the others, in case it was a threat when she noticed Guilmon sitting, looking up at the vortex quite calmly.

"Why are you so calm." She asked.

"Hmm?" Guilmon murmured, noticing Renamon. "Oh, that. Its nothing to worry about."

"How can you be sure?"

"It's a portal to the soul world."

"Soul world?" She asked, shocked.

Guilmon nodded. "Its where digimon's souls go when they die. It's only visible at night, but its always here, at the edge of the digital world."

"How do you know that?"

"I've always known that."

"Well, why didn't you tell anyone?"

"No one ever asked."

Renamon shook her head. Guilmon was more confusing then anyone she had ever met. She walked back into the hollow, leaving Guilmon at his stargazing.

---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

"Sir."

"Yes?"

"Report from Canyon of Earth sir. Bogmon fought and lost against the tamers."

"As expected. The tamers are stronger then most digimon under my control think."

"Yes sir. They are requesting…assistance. They said you'd know what that means."

"Indeed. Activate Project Omega."

"Err, yes sir."

`The ultimate evil' smiled. An appropriate name, as the project would lead to the defeat of the tamers.

---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

The tamers set off at first light. They headed off over the jagged surface of the canyon, climbing or descending when needed. The surface of the canyon got rockier and rockier, the further you got.

Takato, Rika and Kazu were starting to lag behind and seemed to be having a hard time with keeping up with the others. Their partner digimon were also having a hard time. Guilmon was walking slowly, his tail drooping, dragging on the ground. Guardromon was constantly falling over the rocks. Even Renamon couldn't move as fast as she normally could. "Hey, are you guys alright." Henry called back. "Yeah, we're fine." Takato called back. But Henry wasn't convinced.

But things grew steadily worse for them, as they lost more energy. Soon they were having trouble just walking. Henry and the others had to help them across the canyon. Cyberdramon, to his supreme displeasure was stuck with helping Guardromon, since he was the only one strong enough to lift Guardromon's big bulk.

`Whatever's happening, it only seems to affect the ones with elemental spirits.' Henry thought. He turned the corner, not looking where he was going, and he walked into something. He looked up, as a claw gripped his neck, lifting him off the ground. He was brought up to face level and saw a fiery face that seemed to be made out of magma. "Hello." It said conversationally. With that he threw him at the other tamers, knocking over Kenta and Jeri.

"Greetings tamers," The fiery digimon said, in the same conversational tone of voice. "And you, Miss Nonaka. I have been looking forward to meet you."

"Bite me." She said, which didn't have as much impact as usual, considering she needed help standing up.

The fire digimon merely smiled. "Charming." He then turned towards Kenta. "Prophet, an honour."

"Wish I could say the same." Kenta said coldly.

"And the Unlocker." He said, looking towards Suzy. "Pleasure."

Suzy hid behind Henry, scared out of her wits.

"Who else is here? Ahh, Impmon, the destroyer of worlds, Jeri Katou, the Ancient one, Calumon, the guardian of goodness, Kazu, the general of snow" Then he turned towards Takato. "And Takato, the Corrupted One."

Takato recoiled from that name. It seemed familiar, but he couldn't tell from where. The name frightened him. What did that mean. The others were also looking confused, and Impmon looked very angry.

"Hey, who do you think you are, and what the heck are you talking about?" Impmon yelled angrily.

"I am Balrogmon, the dark elemental of fire, and as for what I am talking about, you will find out about, eventually." He paused before saying, "If you live long enough."

"Shut up, Lava boy." You can guess who yelled this.

"Ah, Rika, did I forget you..." He smiled as he said, "Dark Queen." Then he looked at Akiyama, and smiled again. "Ah Ryo, the `Redeemed one'" He said with obvious sarcasm. "And, Henry, the Hidden Spy."

Rika was fuming, Henry was confused, and Ryo was looking shocked.

"But I'm getting restless. I desire entertainment." Balrogmon said smugly. "I think I'll amuse myself, by kicking your digital butts."

"We'll see about that." Rika replied.

"What…?" Rika said tiredly.

Balrogmon smiled a cruel smile. "Don't even bother. Your power is being drained, little girl, as is the energy of your elemental buddies. Only the ones without a spirit are unaffected. For all the good it will do you."

"We'll beat you, Balrogmon." Henry yelled defiantly.

"We shall see."

"Oh no," Balrogmon said sarcastically. "What am I going to do? Oh, what about this."

With that he began getting larger, until even Megagargomon was shorter then him.

"PREPARE TO MEET THE MOST POWERFUL ELEMENTAL!"

"Uh oh." Henry remarked, which seemed like a vast understatement.

"FIRE WHIP"

His attack lashed out at Justimon, blasting him backwards. Antylamon tried a sneak attack, jumping over Balrogmon, trying to attack his back. But Balrogmon was too fast, and knocked her away with his whip. Antylamon crashed into the canyon walls, (A/N: What is it with me, and blasting people into heavy inanimate objects?) knocking her out. Megagargomon attempted to blast Balrogmon with his mega barrage. But he shrugged off the attack as if it was from some annoying insect.

"FLAMING BREATH"

He blasted Megagargomon with fiery breath, dedigivolving them.

"You know, you could use a breathmint." Terriermon said weakly.

"Humorous, to the last, I see." Balrogmon said. He prepared to finish him off.

Suddenly something jumped on Balrogmon's head. It appeared to be some kind of small humanish figure. It was dressed completely in green, and was singing some kind of folk song. Suddenly he looked down as if only just noticing that he was on a gigantic flaming head. "Oh, sorry there laddy. I didn't see ya there." He said in an Irish accent.

"Leprechaunmon, you shall perish for this." Balrogmon growled angrily.

"Is that so, me lad? We'll shall see about that, me evil old fireball." He said. He jumped down off of the flaming demon. When he touched the ground, it seemed to ripple like water under his feet. "Ye got ta be careful when huntin' a leprechaun," An opening opened under Balrogmon, like a mouth in the earth, looking to swallow the fiery beast. Leprechaunmon smiled. "We be devilishly tricky, we be."

He walked towards the tamers. "Time to scat, me laddys and lasses. Follow the leprechaun. That hole won't hold ol fire-face for long,"

The tamers followed along quickly, lest the beast should rise from the pit of the earth, to cleave their souls from their physical manifestations. (A/N: Sorry, I was feeling archaicy :) )

They reached a small cave and Leprechaunmon ran into it. The tamers ran into it after him, then Leprechaunmon sealed the cave, by seemingly turning the rock into fluid, then sealing the cave, and turning it solid again. "We should be safe here for a wee bit."

Leprechaunmon lit a lantern, revealing the cave, which turned out to be some kind of dwelling. There were bookshelves lined with dozens of books, but what they were about couldn't be told, as they were written in digicode. There was a mess of papers on a crude desk in a corner. There also were strange machines that looked very futuristic, especially when compared to the rustic surroundings.

"Make yeself at home, regain ya energy. We are protected from the energy drainer here."

Henry looked at the small digimon. How could he know about the mysterious drainer, unless-?

Suddenly, he put two and two together. "Hey, you're the earth spirit, aren't you?" Henry exclaimed.

Leprechaunmon chuckled. "Aye lad, that I am. I was wondering when one of ye would figure it out."

"We need your help. We have to defeat Balrogmon." Henry pleaded.

"Now, now, I have no desire to leave me home. So, if that what ye came here for, then ye wasted a trip. Besides, someone has ta keep a watch on the digignomes."

"Now, don't be stubborn, Gnome." Jinn remarked. "We must help these tamers."

"Jinn, why, it is a surprise ta see ya." Leprechaunmon said happily.

"Don't forget me." Salamando called happily.

"Ah, tis good ta see ya again Salla boy. Just so long as that annoying ol Undine ain't here."

"Annoying! ANNOYING!!" Undine said indignantly. "Why you little!"

Leprechaunmon flinched. Then he looked accusingly at Jinn. "Ya had ta bring her, didn't ya."

"Why, I'm surprised you would talk like that about your sister, Gnome." Jinn replied lightly.

"She's ya sister too." Leprechaunmon replied grumpily.

"Why you little!" Undine said indignantly. "I AM NOT ANNOYING!!!"

Leprechaunmon sighed. "Alright, your not annoying. Now stop annoying me."

"Well, since you apologized." Undine said. Everyone sweatdropped at that.

"Hey, I'd hate to break up this family reunion," Terriermon remarked, "but there is still the teeny weenie problem of a very angry flaming digimon to deal."

"Alright, Mr-I'm-such-an-impatiant-bunny-lad," Leprechaunmon said, "hold hands, before I whack you like an arcade game."

"You mean you're going to help us?" Henry asked.

"Yes, I'll help you AGAINST MY WILL!" He said looking angrily at Jinn. Jinn sweated a bit at this. "You owe me big time for this. I don't like permanently fusing with anything."

"Hey, what do you mean perma…" But whatever Henry was saying was drowned out when Leprechaunmon started to shrink. When it was over Leprechaunmon was a short little gnome, like the kind you'd find in a garden.

"Hold hand you two." Then he started to glow. "Spirit merge activate!"

Then, Gnome was gone, merged into Henry and Terriermon's heads. Now, that would be scary.

Anyway…

"Time to get going, we still have the small matter of a gigantic killer digimon to worry about." Gnome remarked.

"There is still the little problem of us losing our energy the moment we step out of this cave." Henry reminded.

"Don't worry, your power is taken away instantly, it takes a while, but I would suggest finishing it quickly." Gnome replied.

"Alright, lets get this over with." Henry replied.

They left the cave and headed back to the pit that Balrogmon fell in. But when they got there, it was empty, and there were claw marks along the side that looked like they had been melted.

"I'd say he got out." Terriermon said sarcastically.

"Good guess." Said another voice. The tamers turned to look at Bogmon. He looked very irritated, but then, so would you if you'd been stuck in a giant block of ice and left to thaw.

"I see you've defrosted, Bogmon." Kazu smirked.

Bogmon glared at Kazu, like he wanted nothing more then to ring the neck of the boy. Which was probably true enough. "That was a fluke, boy. When we fight the next time the result will be far different."

Then, foreboding booming footsteps made the canyon rumble under the children's feet. All of them knew what that meant. Balrogmon had arrived. "Now we finish this."

"Lets get this over with." Henry stated

EARTH BIOMERGE ACTIVATE

TERRIERMON BIOMERGED INTO

GOLEMON

Where Terriermon and Henry had stood now stood a towering digimon, even bigger then Megagargomon. It was made out of rock, and it wielded two sharp axes.

Kazu checked it on his digivice. "Golemon, Ancient Aztec Guardian, Special attacks; El Dorado Blaster, Aztec Axe"

"So, you can element biomerge," Balrogmon remarked, unimpressed. "It doesn't matter. Your energy will be lost at a faster rate, while I remain unaffected."

`Blast, he's right.' Henry thought. He was already losing energy fast. `I have to finish it quick.'

`Really,' Terriermon responded sarcastically, `what gave you that idea.'

`Not helping.'

"AZTEC AXE" They yelled, throwing the axe directly towards Balrogmon. As it spun, the axe seemed less like an axe and more like a large golden shuriken. The axe hit its mark at full speed, making Balrogmon stagger back a bit. But aside from that he didn't seem affected.

`Man, this guy is one tough cookie.' Terriermon commented.

`Well, that's the second time we agree.' Henry replied.

"Not bad, but not good enough!" Balrogmon shouted. With that, he lashed at the large stone guardian with flaming whip. However, it didn't hurt Golemon as much as it should have. That's when Henry figured it out.

`Of course, this form is more defensive then offensive!' Henry exclaimed. Well, he exclaimed in his head.

`You know, that's not a good thing for us right now.' Terriermon reminded Henry. `We need to finish it quickly, and defense isn't the way to do that.'

`If only we knew how Balrogmon was avoiding having his energy drained.' Henry thought. Then he noticed a small piece of metal on Balrogmon's arm. `What the… of course! It's a patch program. We have to destroy that patch.'

"FLAMING BREATH" Balrogmon blasted Golemon with his most powerful attack, full on. This, couple with losing his energy caused him to fall backwards. He didn't dedigivolve, but only barely managed to maintain his form.

`Alright, it's now or never.'

"EL DORADO BLASTER"

He shot a powerful golden beam, directly at the patch. It caused it to disintegrate.

"NO!!" Balrogmon yelled. Then he started to lose energy quickly.

"Uh oh, better finish this." Bogmon remarked. He prepared to attack Golemon, unaware of the digimon slowly creeping up on him.

"Yoink." Lopmon said as she grabbed the patch off of Bogmon's arm and ran off with the patch.

"Uh oh, if they get that patch, master will have my head!" Bogmon said, alarmed.

He threw a small water blast at Lopmon, knocking her away, then he grabbed and crushed the patch.

"Lopmon!" Suzy yelled. She picked up the injured Lopmon. "Are you okay?" She said, concerned.

"I'm fine, Suzy, don't worry about me." Lopmon said weakly.

Balrogmon called over to Bogmon. "Time to bail. Call our ride."

"Right." Bogmon pulled out a hidden device and pressed a few buttons. Then a large ship flew over them. And when I say, well, write, ship, I mean ship. It looked like an old fashioned pirate-like ship, but instead of sails, it had a large balloon on top. Then a wooden stepladder came down from the ship. (A/N: People who have played any Final Fantasy game should recognize this.)

"Hey Tamers, I got a gift for you," Bogmon yelled as he and Balrogmon boarded. With that he pressed a few buttons. "Courtesy of the Dark Airship." Then the ladder went up, and the ship turned, revealing cannons.

"That can't be good." Takato said.

The cannons then shot black energy blasts at the tamers. They managed to avoid it, and it only hit a rock. But it should be noted that the rock was blasted apart into data instantly. Then the ship flew off into the distance.

"Deletion cannons." Said Gnome irritably as the drainer dispersed on the winds. "They delete anything they hit, including elemental digimon."

"Even you?" Jeri asked, surprised.

"No, nothing can destroy an elemental spirit. But it wouldn't be particularly pleasant either."

"Better get back to the ship. There's nothing keeping us here." Renamon suggested.

"LAST ONE BACK IS A ROTTEN EGG!" Kazu yelled. Then he ran off, but quickly tripped up over a loose rock.

"Don't say anything, Rika." Henry remarked.

Rika actually looked a bit disappointed at that.

Guilmon however looked worried. "Takato, I don't wanna be a rotten egg. I ate one once and I fell all icky for days."

Takato sweatdropped a bit at that one.

---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

"Riley, how is it going." Yamaki asked

"I can't get through this barrier. It's unlike anything I've seen before." Riley replied.

"Well, keep at it." He commented as he walked away.

"What do you think I'm doing." Riley muttered under her breath.

Yamaki didn't hear her, but Riley's best friend did. (A/N: Does anyone know her English name?)

"You know, you two act just like a married couple." She commented slyly at the station beside her.

Riley rather casually reached over and grabbed her in a strong headlock. "What did you say?" (She seems to have a case of Rikitis. :D )

"Err, nothing, nothing." She replied quickly.

"That's what I thought." Riley said as she let her go. But her friend's smile didn't disappear.

Then, all the computers went off at the same time, as well as the lights.

"Tech support, what's happening?" Yamaki ordered, now holding a flashlight.

"System wide power shortage. Everything's down."

"Not quite!" Yelled one rather shocked voice.

Yamaki hurried over to Janyuu's console. It was still on, but instead of the usual interface, there was a black cloud on the screen.

"Janyuu, what's this." Yamaki asked.

"I don't know." He simply replied.

"You wish to know what I am, human." A voice echoed from the computer. "I am everything you fear, everything you hate, everything that wishes your destruction. I am more powerful then any digimon, human or anything else. I am inevitability. I am…. DESTINY! AND I HAVE SAID THAT YOU SHALL NOT ENTER THE DIGITAL WORLD! AND WHAT I SAY, BECOMES!"

Then a dark blast lashed out at Yamaki, knocking him out. Then, one by one every console blew up. None of the explosions harmed anyone, but all the computers were blasted apart.

The mysterious voice lingered, mearly saying "Stay out of the digital world." Then the power came back.

Riley and Janyuu ran over to Yamaki. "Call an ambulance!" Janyuu yelled.

TO BE CONTINUED……

---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

Well, how was that. Sorry it took so long, hopefully the next chapter will be out faster. Also, next chapter will start the main romance I promised. Read, Review and see ya all next time.
