A/N: And here is Chapter 10 of this fanfic and I hope that you guys enjoy it. Also since no one has voted for a co-host I have put in the default guy. So everyone put your hands together for... Takato Matsuki!

Takato: What? I wasn't even on the list!

Reaper: Yeah I know but everyone else had a reason for not being here with me. Ash was training, Jaden was busy in the Dueling league and Alexis, Hedwig was protecting Harry and Nickolai was...well he is drunk right now and probably will be for a while.

Takato: Where does he get all that Vodlka from anyway? How he can fight a horde of Nazi Zombies is beyond me.

Reaper:So, for you that don't get the idea. Takato is here sort of give a preview and for somecomedy before/after the main story. And so I can bounce around ideas in my head since um...well I'm not getting into that at the moment since I would be thrown in a mental asylum and I don't want to go.

Takato: Great, I'm stuck here with insane author that has pending charges on him.

Reaper: Hey, hey, hey, hey! No one can prove anything, they can't find the bodies and they never will!

Takato: Uh...I was kidding. I'm going to write my will now. (Tries to run off)

Reaper: (Catches him by the collar of his shirt) No you don't, your going to say the disclaimer and introduce the next chapter.

Takato: Fine, Reaper doesn't own anything except his OCand welcome to chapter ten.

Chapter 10:
"Into the Fold"

Gatomon was lying down on Kari's bed in their apartment building. She was extremely worried about her partner, probably kidnapped by their current foe, The Digimon Knight. The DigiDestined have fought them on several occasions and it seemed that he and his partners, Beelzemon and Chaos Gallantmon, were nearly unstoppable. But lately, Gatomon has gotten some gut feelings that Kari thought differently of them.

She did know that Kari acts weird whenever that boy that had Megidramonwas around. She would stutter, not make eye contact and sometimes blush. If she didn't know better, she would think that Kari had a crush on him. But that couldn't be right, why would she like the enemy. Okay there was that time with Yolie liking Ken but that was before they knew he was the Digimon Emperor. And besides, Patamon told her that T.K. still has feelings for her and HE wasn't about to go on a murderous rampage in the Digital World.

There was something else weird about that Knight. She knew his scent decently well and she thought she smelled it when Kari and her friends would talk with the two new kids. She thought that the boy, Takato she thinks, was the Knight but he didn't give off that 'Bad Guy' vibe that every single foe they had fought. And his and the girl's scents were different then their enemies.

It was safe to say that Gatomon was very confused.

'Well, I'm going to get some fish and then go to sleep. Hopfully we can find Kari before the weekend ends.' Gatomon thought. Tai and her were lucky that his parents decided to take a vacation for a week, so they didn't need to explain their daughter's disapperance. But just as she reached the living room, a chill went down her spine.

'What the...?' Gatomon thought as she looked around, trying to find what had caused that.

"Gato-o-omon, come, co-ome tooo meeee." a voice out of nowhere. Aforementioned digimon looked continued to look around, but the voice was a chilling surprise to her. It sounded like Kari!

"Ple-eeasse, he-elp meee. I-I'm hu-urt. I neeeed your heeelp." the voice said in a pleading tone. "Theeee com-puu-ter lab, please huuurry." Gatomon didn't need to be told twice. She immediately jumped through the the back window door and started to make her to the school. If she had stayed for about five more seconds, she would have noticed the dark swirling circle on the wall, with two yellow eyes looking into the room.

"Well, that was easy. Now onto the other Digimon." the voice said and the figure disappeared. But not before certain people heard of his plan.

On top of apartment building:

"Well, that guy could be trouble. Someone needs to stop him before he corrupts the other DigiDestine's partners." Blademon told the three people with him.

"I'll do it." Rika told him. Blademon, if he could, would have raised an eyebrow. And Rika sensed this.

"Me and Renamon are used to doing things by stealth. And it would be far to noticable if you or Gogglehead to do this, and somebody has to go get Gatomon." Rika reasoned. She loved it when she could use logic and common sense to get what she wants, and so far it hasn't failed. Blademon smiled internally and nodded. Kari was confused, she hadn't seen the redhead's digimon and has been wondering who was her partner.

"Let's go Rika, we can't let him get far." a feminine voice behind them made Kari jump and nearly fell when Takato cought her. Kari instantly blushed but looked away as she got back to her feet. She looked behind her and saw a tall, yellow-furred, blue-eyed fox Digimon. Takato stepped in before Rika could say something not quite so nice.

"Kari, Renamon. Renamon, Kari. She's going to help us with this, but you and Rika got a Wild One to take care of." Takato explained.

"Of course. Are you ready Rika?" Renamon asked her partner.

"Always, let's go." Rika replied. Renamon walked up to her and suddenly they both had dissappeared in front of them. Though Takato and Blademon anticipated that, Kari hadn't and was left even more shocked.

"Well then, we got to get back to the school to make sure that Gatomon is safe and if there are any other Digimon there as well. You two should hurry up." Blademon told his compainions. One of them was about to ask what he ment by that when Blademon shifted into the shadows.

"How did I know that he was going to do that?" Takato sighed and started to go down the fire escape. Kari just stood there for a second thinking, 'What have I gotten myself into?' and then ran to catch up.

With Rika and Renamon:

"Alright, Renamon can you sense that Digimon?" Rika asked the fox. The two were going to Yolie's family store since that was where the Digimon seemed to be headed.

"Yes, whatever that Digimon is, he's close by." Renamon answered. She suddenly sensed something heading towards them, so she grabbed Rika and rolled to the side. Just in time to avoid an attack that impacted right where they were a moment ago. Rika looked up from where they were, behind a car near a back alley, and raised her D-Arc to analyze the what she saw.

Phantomon
Ultimate Level

This Digimon is based on Death and under his cloak
is a portal to another Dimmision.

Attacks:
Shadow Scythe-slashes with his scythe to disintegrate the
Soul
Death Cloak-shoots dark energy from
underneath his cloak.

"Come out, come out where ever you are. Come and face me." Phantomon taunted, trying lure out the person following him. Rika however, knowing this far too well, simply got a card out of her card box.

"Ready for this Renamon?" Rika asked, even though she already knew the answer. She concentrated on the card in her hand and a second later it became a blue card.

"Of course, lets get this done." her partner replied, leaping out of their hiding place at the same time as Rika slashed the card through her D-Arc.

"Digi-Modify: Matrix-Digivolution activite!" Rika declared as she swipped the card through. Renamon was instantly in cased by a sphere of data.

"Renamon Matrix-Digivolve to... Taomon!" said the now Taomon, and quickly jumped over the scythe that was swung her way.

"Shadow Scythe!" Phantomon tried to go for another hit but again Taomon avoided him. What he didn't realise is that they were trying to distract him long enough to get some information out of him.

"Stay still and fight me!" Phantomon yelled at his opponent, try once again to slash Taomon.

"Why should I? I mean, your such a lowly Ultimate you're not worth my time." Taomon taunted, which started to enrage the ghost Digimon even more. He didn't notice either her's or Rika's smirks.

"Am I? Take this, Death Cloak!" Phantom called, throwing Dark energy all over the place. Rika was forced to stay behind the car in order not to get injured

"Talisman Spell!" Taomon countered, producing a shield to protect herself and the attack bounced off.

"See, you can't even harm me. What use do have?" Taomon kept up, and the ghost was just off full blabber mouth.

"Oh really? How about the fact that I'm part of the plan to re-awaken the biggest threat that this world has ever seen! Oh!" Phantomnon realized what he said and he couldn't stop himself.

"And thats all I need to hear." Taomon said. Rika got out another card and looked at it before smirking.

"Digi-Modify: Power Activate!" Rika swipped the card and increasing Taomon's strength.

"Thousand Spells!" Taomon shot red cards at the surprised Phantomon, wrapping him it making him unable to move.

"No! I can't be destroyed! I won't be deprived of my success! The masters' will shall be done!" Phantomon yelled, falling into hysterics.

"Not if we have anything to say about! Go Taomon!" Rika responded.

"Talisman of Light!" Taomon took out a paintbrush, drew a sign in front of her and launched it at the ghost Digimon. It hit him at full blast, almost instantly deleting him.

"Great job Taomon, but we have to get out of here before someone shows up." Rika complimented her partner. Taomon smiled before scooping Rika and once again phasing into the shadows. But down the street was a young girl with glasses and purplish hair.

"Okay, either I'm crazy or we have a new member. And really need to stop getting midnight snacks." Yolie said to herself, going back to her house storing what she witnessed for tomorrow.

With Gatomon:

For the last fifteen minutes, Gatomonhas run non-stop trying to get to the computer lab at Kari's school. All she could think about was her missing partner and hoping to help her. She was so caught up in this train of thought that she didn't see the black figure step out in front of her.

"mpmh!" was the sound she made when she hit the person's leg. She looked up and immediately got into a fighting stance. "Who are you?" she demanded.

"Don't worry, I'm a friend...sort of. Hmm...friend by proxy? I don't know." The figure said, rubbing is armor-clad chin in thought. Gatomon would have slapped her head angainst her paw if it was any other time but now she was on a mission.

"Uh, ok? Look I'm kinda busy at the moment" she started until the figured cut her off.

"Your looking for your partner, Kari." he stated simply. The cat Digimon looked at him flabbergasted. "How...?" she asked.

"Well, she's right behind you to start off." Blademon said. Gatomon turned around and sure enough there was Kari and right behind her was Takato. Overcome with happiness, Gatomon ran and jumped into Kari's arms, giving her a hug.

"What happened Kari? Everyone has been worried about you, especially Tai. We all thought you were kidnapped by the Digimon Knight!" Gatomon told her. Behind them, Blademon failed to hid his snickering that eventually turned into a full-blown laughing fit.

"Wow, you really have been watching too much T.V. Takato, but man did I need that." Blademon told him, holding his ribs which ached a bit from the fit. Takato looked at him and sweat-dropped.

"Hey! It was the best I could come up with in ten seconds." Takato tried to reason. At this Blademon, and to a much lesser extent Kari, continued to chuckle while Gatomon's eyes widen with realization.

"Wait, Your the Digimon Knight!" Gatomon yelled. This didn't really make sense to her since she did spend some watching him. He didn't seem the kind of person that had an evil side to him(if only she knew, huh people).

"Yep, that would be good old Gogglehead." a voice behind Gatomon had said, making her and Kari jump. They turned around and there was Rika and Renamon standing behind them.

"Your in this two? And whose the Digimon?" Gatomon asked.

"Yes, and I'm Rika's partner, Renamon." said Digimon told the cat.

"So, if you have a partner, does Takato have one too?" Gatomon asked.

"Yeah, I do. He's name is Guilmonbut his back in the Digital world looking after a couple of friends at the moment." Takato said, really hoping that the house was still intact.

"So why have guys been deleting all those Digimon? I mean, you don't seem like bad guys and you have partnered Digimon." to say that Gatomon was confused would be an understatement.

"Umm...Kari can you explain this to Gatomon, I really don't want to again. And we really need to get back, too." Blademon said. Kari nodded and began telling her partner the story that Blademon told her as the group headed back to the school.

Back in the Digital World:

"So basically, a bunch of corrupted Digimon have entered our Digital World from yours' and they are 'controlled' by a mysterious enemy. And because it wants the complete destruction and control of every world, he planned to invade the others. So you and your friends built portals and were going to get us until someone had sabotaged the others. So you sent part of the team that you already had gotten and sent them to delete the corrupted because we would difficulty doing this job. And that they are going release one of our hardest foes soon. Thats what your saying?" Gatomon summarized.

"That and you and Kari are going to help. Oh and you will be able to freely Digivolveto Mega after I upgrade Kari's Digivice." Blademon expanded. "And that eventually I'm going to ask the others to come back to end the threat in my Digital World."

"Why didn't they just tell all of this in the first place?" Gatomon asked, pointed to Takato and Rika.

"Would you and the others really believe us if we told you this? This reason we did this was to have a cover for when we delete Digimon and to show the determination that we have to do this." Takato stepped in. Seeing as this was his plan, he felt that he had to defend it to a point.

"I'll admit it isn't the most thought out plan, but it was the best option at the time. And your convinced, aren't you?" Takato told her. Gatomon remained quiet, thinking. Yes, this all made some sort of sense now but she was pretty ticked that they were tricked so badly.

"Okay, you got me. I am conviced and it makes sense, kinda. But I'm concerned about what Digimon that they're going to summon." Gatomon admitted.

"Well, it would have to be a recent one since the data would've dissipated eventually. What was the last bad guy your team fought?" Blademon asked. Gatomon's eyes widen at the thought.

"Uh...Armageddenmon." Kari simply stated, also worried.

"Great, I have several boss music themes going through my head. I really need to stop playing so many video games." Takato said. Everybody sweat-dropped.

"Gogglehead, remind to raid your room when we're done with all of this. And did that statement even have a point?" Rika looked at him intently. Then Takato looked confused.

"Wait, you mean that I said that out loud?" Takato asked. Everyone in the room nodded. He then looked at the floor, red in the face.

'I should have gotten the Tamers a long time ago, my sense of humor is coming back. Oh everybody gonna hate me for awhile' Blademon thought.

"I'm going to bed now. G'night." and with that he left. Rika looked at what time it was and decided to also go to bed, leaving Kari, Gatomon and Blademon alone for the time being.

"How are they not worried or freaking out right now?" Gatomon asked to nobody.

"Well, for one, their used to gaint Digimon that are out to get them. And two: they're exghusted physically, mentally and emotionaly since they did most of the fighting and didn't let the little one's get too involved." answered Blademon. (Ai and Mako will get some serious action later on and so will Suzie)

"Do you mind if I look at your Digivice for a sec?" Blademon asked, holding out his hand. Kari looked through her pockets and handed the device once she finally found it. He concentrated for a moment and then her Digivice was in cased in black energy. It died down after a second and Blademon began to examine it.

It had changed into a darker shade of pink and had some sort of markings all over it. She then notice that a holographic screen was also now included..

"Hmmm...that's odd." Blademon said simply.

"What, did something go wrong?" Gatomon asked, slightly worried.

"No. It seemed that you already had gone Mega once, but my upgrade overode that form, so now your line has a different Mega. Instead of Mangadramon you would become Ophanimon. But that's not the strange part." Blademon told them.

"Then what is?" Kari asked.

"Well, you can Bio-Merge with Gatomon to become Ophanimon. That's an unexpected side affect, but a welcome one." he further told them.

"Bio-what?" Gatomon asked.

"When you fuse with your Digimon to reach Mega Level. But when I upgrade those two D-Arcs, the could do a regular Digivolution to Mega and Bio-Merge. I'm going to have to look at this later. Why don't you two go to sleep for now, we'll worry about all of this later." Blademon said. The other two simply nodded and went to the room they were shown earlier.

A/N: Well, I was going to leave it hear but instead I'll continue to the next day because I want to show what's going on in Blademon's world before and after he left.

The next day; Real World:

To say that Tai was depressed would be an understatement. He felt shattered about what happened yesterday; his younger sister was kidnapped and he noticed this morning that Gatomon was missing too. He was currently walking to his old school to meet up with the others to go search for Kari.

They were lucky it was early or somebody would have noticed Agumon. Anyway, they just rounded the corner and started to go into the yard of the school. He looked at the back door and noticed that everyone but Yolie and Hawkmon was there.

"Hey guys. Where's Yolie and Hawkmon?" Agumon asked the group.

"I don't know, think she slept late?" Ken sort of answered.

"Hey Tai, where's Gatomon?" Sora asked.

"No clue, when I woke up she was already gone. I was hoping that she was already here." Tai responded, getting somewhat worried.

"Hi everyone, we are still out here?" Yolie said, walking up from behind the group. "Yolie what took you so long?" Ken asked as she joined them

"Oh, I was up late last night. And I saw the weirdest thing ever, or at least I think I did." Yolie began. "Anyway, when I went to the kitchen to get a snack, there were a bunch of lights and fighting sound so I went outside to check it out. When got to the block, I saw a Phantomon and a fox-like Digimon I didn't recognised fighting. Then after the other Digimon defeated Phantomon a girl with red hair came out and they disappeared." Yolie finished.

"Did you get anything else from that Yolie?" Izzy asked, hoping for information.

"Yeah, the Digimon said her name was Rika. You know, one of the two new kids." thinking back Yolie said.

"Do you think that she's a DigiDestined?" Davis asked.

"I don't know but we got more important things to worry about right now." Tai said, reminding them of the current situation.

"Oh! Right, give a sec." Cody said, starting on the door lock. Everbody waits for about 25 seconds until there was a click and the door slowly opened. "Wow, you weren't kidding when you said you were getting good at this." T.K. told the boy.

"Come on, let's get to the computer lab." Matt remarked, already moving up the stairs nearby. While moving to the lab, Yolie was thinking of something else.

'Well, I wonder how Kari is taking this. I know that she developed a crush on the Knight but that's on the hunch that he's only misguided. Ok, so the same thing basically happened to me with Ken but that's different. And there's the part that she says that he serves a Queen, and that might have something to it. Ok, this is getting a little confusing, kinda like a soap opera.' Yolie thought on the way there. 'I hope that this doesn't end badly.'

"Alright then everyone, ready for this rescue mission?" Davis asked everyone once the entered the lab. Everbody nodded, showing that they were determined to get their friend back. At this, T.K. raised his Digivice and everyone went through the portal. Nobody noticed that it was already opened and set to a certain place.

When they came out, they saw Angewomon fighting along said a ChaosGallantmon and a Kazahumon against several Ultimate and a few Mega Digimon. And then they saw Kari and two small kids on the back of a motorcycle with Beelzemon, fleeing the scene.

End Chapter.

Reaper: There you go, Chapter 10. This chapter is just under 4,000 words with out the notes.

Takato: Wow, how did you have the time and patience to do this. You don't really have that quality.

Reaper: Actually, I'm quite patient but this was supposed to come out last week.

Takato: Then why didn't it come then?

Reaper: I was busy during the weekend and I was basically a zombie for the week.

Takato: AAAAHHHHHHH! Zombie! Run for it. (tries to run away again)

Reaper: No you don't. Anyway, I want you good people that are reading this to suggest names for a female Takato.

Takato: Why? Last time I checked, I'm a boy. What are you planning?

Reaper: Oh, nothing. So please review people, reviews power the world and make it go round and round. And on a final note, the qoute of the Chapter; 'Am I missing a eyebrow?'- Adam Savage.

Thank you and have a nice day,
The Reaper
