Chapter 1: Goodbye

Set when Rika is looking out at the sunset in the end of the movie: Runaway Locomon.

Past the clouds if you look hard enough you can see little spots of lights, small stars that in reality are extremely bright but millions of light years away. Something extremely bright but millions of light years away, besides stars, would be a relationship that plagues many families in the world known as a divorce. The effects a divorce gives is obvious, but the people that made it happen are split away from each other, just like a star in the sky compared to a person looking at it from earth. The divorce splits one's family away, the father and mother separate. Rika is staring out at the sunset thinking about this very thing, her father and mother divorced a long time ago, leaving Rika all alone. Her mother took full custody over her and Rika has since then changed. Her tomboyish attitude garnished with sarcasm is what has become of the once beautiful girly-girl who loved to sing and would frequently wear dresses. If her parents had never divorced, if they were still together, would she be able to wear dresses and smile? Or are possibilities like these not even in reality possible? This is what Rika is pondering over while looking out at the setting sun, 'Would I have still been me?'

Someone sits down beside her and she turns her head to see who it is. It was Ryo, he had casually started leaning on a support pole and was mimicking Rika by also looking out at the sunset. Rika glares at him, "What do you want?" He pretends that he didn't know Rika was beside him, when he turns to look at her he tries to make him self seem surprised. Rika would have none of his jokes, "Well?"

"I don't like it," he says. "It's your birthday but you're not even having fun."

Rika brushes away his sympathy. "I'm always like this."

He pauses. "True…"

"So stop worrying about me." She stands up. "It just makes you even more annoying."

Ryo gets up and runs in front of her. "Wait!"

"…" She stops and gives him an icy glare. "What?"

"Here," he pulls something out of his pocket and holds it out to her. She doesn't take it and starts to walk past him. He walks over to her before she can turn the corner and holds out the gist again. "It's your birthday present."

She looks at what he was holding, it was a necklace with a black chain and hanging on it was half of a silver broken heart. He pushes his hand forward so she reluctantly takes the gift from him. "Thanks, I guess."

He smiles. "Don't mention it."

"It's a mega, the name of it is unknown." says Henry while looking at his Digivice.

"Is it a Digimon?" asks Takato with Growlmon right beside him.

"No, if it was it would be in the Digivice's database." says Henry matter of factly.

"Then what is it?" asks Rika while pulling out her own Digivice.

"Um, something?" answers Takato with a shrug of his shoulders, he looks to Growlmon for support but his Digimon was too absorbed having skipped breakfast.

They were all talking about a giant skyscraper of a monster smack dab in the middle of the city. It looked like the D-Reaper in size and shape, but its colors were different shades of green, it had leaves sticking out of it along with various branches; and don't let the leaves fool you, they were obviously razor sharp. "So, you guys ready?" Takato looks at Growlmon then to the others.

Rika sighs as she and Kyubimon step forward. "Let's just get this over with.

Gargomon practically starts skipping; he looks over his shoulder at Henry who was only just putting away his Digivice. "Hurry up Henry, it's not like it's rooted to the spot…Wait, maybe it is."

"Haha, very funny." Henry catches up to Gargomon.

"Let's go kick some plant butt!" yells Takato.

You're not forgetting about me, right?"

The trio looks up to see Ryo and Cyberdramon already in Justimon form, balancing on the top of a telephone pole. Rika rolls her eyes and starts to follow after Gargomon, "We were trying to." She comments.

Justimon ignores her sentence and jumps down from the telephone pole. "I thought I was also apart of the DigiDestines?" He asks sadly, making a show of slightly cocking his head.

One of Takato's eyes twitches. "Yeah, sure."

"Takato," complains Growlmon. "Let's biomerge and beat my breakfast out of that thing already."

Takato pats Growlmon on the nose. "Sure, pal."

A few seconds passed and now Justimon was joined with Gallantmon, MegaGargomon, and Sakuyamon. Justimon, not wanting to be left out, starts in a full sprint over to the left side of the plant monster thing. He stops in front of one of its branches that sort of resembled an arm, and he slams his hand to the ground; one of his moves known as 'Thunderclap'.

The attack had no effect and out of the blue another branch appears and swipes Justimon off his feet. He flies through the air and almost lands on Sakuyamon but she gracefully takes a step back, giving his head a rush as it slammed against the concrete. "Thanks," he says angrily.

Sakuyamon laughs. "What ever happened to ladies first?"

He fights back. "Are you even counted as a lady yet?"

She glares at him, and he while smiling gets up and heads back towards the monster. Rika bites her cheek, Renamon simply stays silent.

And so the battle raged on, attack after attack still had no lasting affect. The group was tired, but they still fought. Justimon was already tired out of his mind, though this didn't seem to stop him from heading straight towards the monster again.

"Wait! You idiot, where are you going!" yells Gargomon. Gallantmon jumps away from an oncoming branch to see what all the yelling was about, Justimon passed right by him and he didn't notice.

Rika curses, she grips her staff, and as Sakuyamon she follows after Justimon. "Stupid." She grumbles.

By the time she reached Justimon he was already in the latter part of the fight. He wasn't hurt badly if you don't count scrapes and a few cuts, but he was exhausted mentally. Sakuyamon goes up to him. "I suppose you want my power again like before, right?"

He looks up at her, and behind the mask he was most likely smiling. "Please and thank you princess."

She sighs, but in the end gives in and transfers all her power to him. Now she was back to being Rika, with Renamon right beside her. Justimon immediately takes action; he uses 'Voltage Blade' and cuts through the branch that had only just started constricting him. He takes no break as he charges straight toward the core of the monster, a glowing yellow diamond-esque sphere in the middle of the monster's body. He jumps into the air and puts all his power into his blade, with a large slash he slices through the monster and enters inside. It felt like he was floating on water, except instead of water he was knee deep in so gooey slimy clear gunk that he didn't want to even imagine on what it really was. He approaches the floating diamond sphere, he raises his sword, but before he could slash at the core he hears Rika voice and she yells, "Look out!" but it was too late. The branches that had sneaked up beside him were already swinging in the air. They body slammed into him and he was thrown outside of the monster like a rag doll. The branches didn't stop there, they next headed towards Renamon who was close to its inside. Renamon dodged the first strike but the second one came while she was still in the air, she was tossed aside just like Justimon and falls onto the cement below, barely able to stand she watches in horror as Rika, who was still beside the monster, was trapped; unable to get away unless she could grow wings which was obviously impossible. "Rika!" yells Renamon.

Rika looks down below for a few seconds, she says a yellow dot that she decided was Renamon, and then she saw the others who were bust battling the menaces the monster had attached to itself from the outside. She looks back at the branches that were heading towards her quickly. 'If I'm hit by one of those I'll either die by the force or by the fall.' She isn't the type to just stand somewhere and do nothing so she starts running towards the branches. In response the branches pick up their pace, two of them fly past her ears as she barely dodges them and continues running. Another sails past the middle of her legs, she takes the insane chance and jumps on top of it. The branch starts swinging around wildly but Rika holds on. In a desperate move the branch slams her against the insides on the monster. She falls off and into a pool of the clear gunk. The branches gave her no rest, she dodges around four of them but two, that were very small compared to the others, had a lucky break. They pierced straight through her hands. She cried in pain as the two branches lift her up, now dangling in the air she was starting to lose consciousness. Her mind was fading in and out, her hand pulsating with an astonishing abundance of pain. Then a voice, dark and light, says. "Goodbye." The yellow diamond-esque sphere thought to have been the core grows bigger, and bigger, until it engulfs her. Everything turns purple, then blue, then red, then starts all over again. Silhouettes of large shapes stare out at her as she falls deeper into an abyss, then the pain finally gets to her as she blacks out.
