Rika

We decided to take a little route to find our old allies. It would be extremely shocking to them since that they haven't seen us for seven years. 

Jeri said, "Do you think they would recognize us after all this time, we have been away for a long time." 

Henry reassures her, "They would, besides, Takato is counting on us to save him and the Digital World." 

Chris just seems to be nervous.  He never imagined that his brother would ever go this far of making friends with other Digimon besides Guilmon . 

Just then, a twenty year old man appears in front of them. "Who you guys doing in the Digital World?"

That is Kenta smiled at him, as if he could recognize him straight away. "Yo, long time no see, Ryo Akiyama." 

Ryo

I was stunned by this teen. He seems familiar to me, but how could he know me? The girl next to him asked, "This is really Ryo? I didn't realized it was him." 

"Of course, it would be surprised to anyone at this point, Suzie, we all grown up." 

The name Suzie shock me. I pointed at the group, "Wait, is that you, The Tamers?"

The group smiled at me, as that they were relieved to see a familiar face. I took them to my base so they could rest up. 

"I honestly can't believe it's you guys. I barely recognize  all of you and you got a new Tamer I see." 

"Chris, this is our friend, Ryo Akiyama. He helped us a long time ago when we dealt with D-Reaper." Rika explains to him.

Henry shivers, "D-Reaper. That's a name I would never forget. Battling him seems like ages ago." 

I asked, "I don't understand how all of you got here in the first place. I thought that the portal between our worlds were closed up, I never see you guys again." 

Suzie nods, "It's true that the portal did close, but somehow Takato's Digivice just woke up on its own and show him and the other Tamers that he was in major trouble. There is a new enemy now." 

As I was about to ask, another familiar Digimon appears inside our tent. "Well, the Tamers have truly returned huh?"

"Whoa, it's been a while, Impmon. You seemed well." Jeri waves at the cat Digimon. 

"Indeed. I received word you would be back from Ryo earlier so I decided to see for it myself. Say, isn't Takato with you?"

"R-Right. You both may want to sit down for this." Jeri said, as Chris explains that Nero, the new enemy had manipulated him against his own will, to fight against his father and his own Digidestined teammates, met the other Tamers by chance, rescuing him from the evil deeds of Nero, finding out that he is the older brother of Takato, and that he was recently captured by Nero.

I blink, "Wow. This seems so sudden, Chris. I didn't know what to say." Impon concur, "Yes, this is quite a predictamel." 

"I know it's a lot to settle in right now, but listen, we can work this out. Besides, what could Nero possibly want to do with Takato anyway?" Jeri asked. 

Takato

It has been four days since my capture. I haven't eaten anything for the last few days as that I could hear the Digimon laughing from above and that working an evil scheme to get to the others. 

"I... I have to get out of here." I whispered. I couldn't move a muscle as if my energy to do so seems unprepared for. 

"Well, how does it feel to be hopeless, Takato Matsuki?" Nero said, looking directly at me. I slowly move my head towards his direction. 

"I... have no idea what you're so cherry about, Nero. Chris and the other Tamers would stop you and your evil deeds ." 

The hybrid wolf just simply laughs at me, as that how much trust I believed in my teammates. "Oh, how precious . You really do trust them, Takato Matsuki. Well, those Digidestined have no idea of how my plan is crucial, you better embrace yourself. 

As you see... I am not just Nero. Look at my scars you've dealt me seven years ago!" 

I look deeply at the scars he had mentioned, as my eyes grew in shock and disbelief of who our true enemy really was. 

"D-Reaper." I muttered his true name. The wolf Hybrid laughs at how foolish was I really not realizing it sooner. 

"How you survived?!?  I thought we defeated you!" I screamed. 

"Oh, I had help, an Digimon who used to serve me, Makuramon. He used everything he could. Using his research, he was able to make me into a brand new Digimon, a hybrid . 

Using that knowledge, I manipulated your older brother, Chris and make him work for me to get rid of those pesky Digidestined. 

However, it appears he is now joined with you, and now it's time for my revenge of you Tamers once and for all." D-Reaper happily said, thrilled that his plan is going smoothly as he hoped it would be. 

The door slaps shut, as that my guilt, that our enemy could reivied himself.
