Rika

It was great of having Ryo still be here in the Digital World. Although, being away for seven years, it still bogs my mind of everything I remembered in the Digital World had dramatically changed. 

Henry seems to be consoling with Ryo about what to do and steagaize any form of ideas of how to get into Nero's home base. 

Chris on the other hand, was training with Guilmon and the other Tamers. 

"Give everything you got!" Jeri said, as the little red Dino jumps into defensive mode as Chris smiled, "That's the way!" 

I couldn't help being worried about Takato. He is trapped within enemy's hideout and he was so determined to save both worlds from collapsing again.

"Rika?" 

I turned to see Kenta who was looking at me with a concern expression. 

"Sorry, Kenta, I was just thinking about -" 

"About Takato, right? C'mon, he's going to be just fine, you know him too well. This is nothing compared of what we been through since the Accident. " 

"True. But still, things are really different, isn't?" I asked. 

Takato

I couldn't believe it. Nero isn't just any hybrid digimon. He was D-Reaper, the pure enemy that we had defeated long ago!

But why couldn't we sense him sooner? I have.. I have to let the other Tamers know, let Chris know . 

He has been here, trapped in his domain for seven years, and D-Reaper is sought for vengeance . I slowly used all muscles and energy I've left to make a small text in my Digivice.

"Chris... D-Reaper..." 

That is all I could write, as the energy left me unconious. 

Chris

I felt my Digivice, as that I gasp of who just texted me. "No way!" I said, which made the Tamers rushed over. 

"What is it?" Rika asked me curiously, as that I said, "It's a text from my brother. I think he sent us a warning of some kind." 

"Let me see." Henry asked, as I showed him the message. As he read it, his expression of curiosity changes to pure shock and scared.

"What's wrong, Henry?" Suzie asked her brother, as that he said, "It's D-Reaper. He's alive." 

I was confused. Who is D-Reaper? Everyone was shocked of the revelation, as Ryo said, slapping his hand, "That creep! I can't believe it!" 

Guilmon was pissed off, as he said, "Guilmon angry. Want to save Takato now." 

Kenta asked, "But how could D-Reaper be revived? Didn't we defeated him?" 

Jeri said, "Yeah, it doesn't make any sense at all. I mean, we all saw him get defeated, didn't we? Great, this is worse than we thought. " 

I raised my hand, "Um, excuse me, but what you guys talking about? Who is D-Reaper?"

That made the Tamers realized that I wasn't around during that time, as Henry took a massive breath, "He was a real bad enemy that we Tamers defeated before we found out about you, Chris.

He's bad news." 

Kenta concurs, "It took us every inch of our strength to destroy that guy, honestly, I can't believe that he got revived at all." 

The memories of Nero came flooding back to me, all his attitude and grudge against my father and my brother made suddenly sense. 

Nero, or rather, D-Reaper was waiting for this strike to attack for seventeen years. This is his act of revenge on the Tamers all along!

Wormmon knows exactly what I intend to do, "Chris, you're not planning to go to D-Reaper's main headquarters alone aren't you?"

I turn to my Digimon partner, "What can I do? Takato is my younger brother, I just reunited with him briefly and I can't just let D-Reaper do this as long he's alive!" 

"Hey, take it easy, Chris. I know that you want to desperately save your brother, but we can't barge into a trap." Rika suggested. 

"But the longer we wait, the longer Takato wouldn't hold on for much longer, we have to act fast." Jeri points out. 

We didn't know what to do, but my heart is telling me to go what is right. "Ok, I think Guillmon and I go search for Takato. 

Rika, you should lead the others and attack head-on. This is my solution." 

Henry

Hearing this plan seems a little bit reckless, it's no wonder how much the brothers think alike. "I don't like the idea of splitting up the group like this." 

Rika walks up to Chris, as that she wants to speak to him directly . He gulped in fear, wondering how she would respond to his crazy attempt to get his brother back safely.

"I trust you to get Takato safe and sound. And be careful. D-Reaper will be coming for you guys." 

"Rika..." I said, being dumbfounded at her sudden change. She usually gets upset about this splitting up as kids, as that far I remember, all the stuff that Takato puts us through, she always blame him for his actions or ideas. 

As we set off course of our plan , I felt my heart thumping fast. Was this mean something. Ryo looked at me, "You have a crush...." 

"What you mean?"

"Awe, c'mon, isn't that much a shocker? You have a crush on Rika, obviously! You little tricker!" He said. 

I said, "What?!????? No , no, I am just friends with her, I don't have a crush on her." 

"What you guys talking about?" Rika asked as I said, "N-Nothing in particular." 

We decided to go as planned, although I still am worried about Chris's attempt of a rescue. "Are you really sure you wanted to go through with this, Chris? 

It's too much as stake as both of our worlds are at dire danger." 

"Hey, give me some slack. I have to do this. You guys came through of coming here, after being separated from your partners for seven years, I think it's my duty to help whenever I can. 

Besides, who knows D-Reaper's main quarters than I do? I was manipulated, being used as a tool for his personal grudge and revenge on us, the Digidestined. 

It's time for us to take a strike for once, an ultimate surprise attack." 

"Honestly... you think too much like Takato. It's no wonder you're both related." Rika sighs, as Chris looks at Guilmon and Wormmon. 

"Are you guys ready to go?"

The digimon nods as we watched them go on ahead. "This would be fine, Henry. You'll see." Suzie reassures me, but I turn to her, with a thought in mind, "I really hope that you're right. Chris, be careful."
