First Meeting with Chaos Gallantmon

Jeri's eyes widened and she blushed. "Takato...what did you just say?"

Takato looked at her with seriousness and compassion. "I love you, Jeri..."

Jeri's mind thought back to the day...

FLASHBACK

Jeri had been asked by Henry to meet him near the playground. He said it was important. "I wonder what he wants to talk about?" Henry suddenly appeared with Terriermon waiting near the swings. "Henry? What's this all about?"

Henry held out a bouquet of beautiful white roses. "Jeri...I came to say I love you..."

"How long have you felt like this?"

"For a long time..."

Jeri took the roses and was crying tears of joy. "Oh Henry...this is so sweet of you...I love you too." She ran to Henry and kissed him passionately on the lips.

END FLASHBACK

Jeri smiled at those happy times, but then she began to worry. *'I didn't know Takato loved me too. How am I gonna tell him? Guess I have to say it.'*

Henry was watching from afar, and had heard everything. "Oh no. I didn't expect for this to happen. Someone's gonna be crushed and it won't be Jeri or myself."

Takato looked up to see Jeri with a worried expression on her face. "Jeri? What's wrong?"

Jeri looked up. "Takato, there's something I need to tell you."

"What's wrong?"

"Takato...I'm in love with...Henry."

Takato's heart shattered into a million pieces. "H-H-Henry?" He saw Henry come out with a sympathetic look on his face.

"I'm sorry Takato. I should've told you...Jeri and I have been going out. We're in love."

Takato felt hot tears stream down his face. "I can't believe this...I pour my heart out to someone I love, only to find out she loves someone else. I'm so stupid!" Takato turned on his heel and ran down the street.

"Takatomon wait!" Guilmon took off after his distraught tamer.

Jeri cried softly. "I'm sorry Takato."

Henry held Jeri in his arms. "I'm sorry too Takato."

Takato didn't hear Guilmon behind him as he was too busy running. He felt nothing but pain and turmoil inside. "Jeri...She likes Henry?! No...no...no!" He kept running until he reached a secluded area. Guilmon had just caught up to him. He may be childish, but he knew full well what had happened.

"Takatomon...why would Jeri stomp on your feelings like that? I thought she cared about you."

"I did too Guilmon. But, it looks like I've lost that chance. Why...why did this have to happen to me?"

Rika and Renamon were passing by when they heard Takato and Guilmon talking. They heard Takato dumping out his sorrows. Rika was in shock. "I can't believe it. Jeri rejected him?! How could she not tell Takato about Henry? They're supposed to be his friends, but now they've killed the goggle head's spirit." She almost felt like crying herself, but tried to hold it in. She quietly walked over and whispered. "Takato..."

Takato heard the voice. "I know that voice. That's the one that started me on the whole Digimon adventure. Someone who still does care." He said those words quietly. He turned his head to Rika's direction. "Rika? Is that you?"

Rika looked at Takato. He looked shattered and devastated. "Takato...I heard what Jeri and Henry did to you."

Takato tried not to cry. "I thought Jeri loved me back, but it looks like she loved Henry and saw me as nothing more than a friend. I'm just so broken up about it. I'm angry at them for betraying me, and I'm angry at myself for being so stupid."

Rika let her tough girl shield down. That's when she felt her true feelings...Ryo was just an infatuation...Takato was the one she truly loved. Right now he needed her. She walked over and sat down next to him. Renamon signaled to Guilmon that they should leave. As the 2 Digimon left, Rika spoke. "Takato, there are plenty of other girls who'd love to be with a guy like you."

"Sniff...name one."

"Well..." This was it. She was gonna follow her heart. "Me, for one." She said with a blush.

Takato immediately stopped crying. He wiped his eyes and turned to Rika. "Rika...d-did you just say..." *'Please let it be true. Whatever she said. Please, let it be what I thought she said.'*

Rika turned to Takato blushing. "I love you...Takato." Rika didn't know whether to regret her drastic action, but when she saw Takato's face light up, she knew she had made the right choice.

"Rika. For a while, I was torn between who I liked. I didn't know if it was Jeri, or you. But now...I know for sure that it's you who I love. Rika Nonaka." He inched closer to Rika. He had butterflies within his stomach. He swiftly kissed Rika on the lips. *'I hope she approves.'*

Rika felt Takato kiss her, and she felt her heart race. *'He kissed me! The goggle head kissed me! Ooh...he's good at this.'*

As the 2 lovers basked in each other's love, someone from above watched and felt sick. "\*Choke\* \*Choke\* Oh! Gag me with a chocolate heart!" Vincent was sickened by the love scene. He was evil after all. His Digimon, Valkyrimon, didn't like the scene any more than his partner.

"UGH \*Choke\* Vincent, why are we watching this?!"

"I didn't expect this mushiness to happen, Valkyrimon, give me a break."

Back down below, Rika and Takato finally ended the kiss and were out of breath.

"Wow Takato, you sure know how to please a girl." Rika said seductively.'

"Well eheh thanks." Takato said. He was embarrassed, but also turned on by Rika's tone. "Maybe we should go back to my house now."

"Anyone else there?"

"Tai and Sora, but they're "busy" if you know what I mean."

Rika giggled uncontrollably, as she understand what Takato meant. "Maybe we should go somewhere else for a while. Somewhere we could be alone."

They stepped up and walked out of the alley to find Guilmon and Renamon waiting for them.

Guilmon was smiling. *'Looks like Takatomon won't be sad anymore.'*

*'Rika's heart led her to the one she truly loves.'* Renamon thought.

The 2 Tamers and 2 Digimon wandered off down the street. Little did they know that Vincent was still spying on them.

"Heh. The love birds never knew I was here. Though I wish I wasn't here to witness their kissing. YECH!" Vincent turned to Valkyrimon. "Well I think we should..." Suddenly they heard another Digimon land next to them. Vincent turned around and looked in disgust. "Chaos Gallantmon?! What are you doing here?!"

"I'm checking to see if you're doing your job, which I highly doubt Vincent." Chaos Gallantmon spat out Vincent's name like a bad piece of meat.

"Oh, you think YOU could do better?! You stupid tin can!" *'God, I hate this black knight.'*

"I could! Now get out of my way and watch how a pro handles it."

"The day you'll be a pro is the day that Oinkmon learn to fly." Valkyrimon muttered. *'Chaos Gallantmon is a real prick.'*

Chaos Gallantmon set up his shield and began to project images of his Ultimate self, which became quite real. "Now, my army of black Digimon...go after the tamers and exterminate them!" He watched as the BK WarGrowlmon flew off in Takato and Rika's direction.

Takato suddenly heard a rocketing noise behind him.

"What's wrong Takato?"

"Someone's following us." He looked closer and saw 6 shapes in the distance. He whipped out his D-Arc and scanned them. "Oh no...Black WarGrowlmon!" Takato reached for his cards, as did Rika. "They're evil versions of the regular WarGrowlmon. We'll need Biomerge power to do this." Takato whipped out a Red card and slashed it through his D-Arc. "BIOMERGE DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE!"

"GUILMON BIOMERGE TO...GALLANTMON!"

Rika went next. "DIGI-MODIFY! BIOMERGE DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE!"

"RENAMON BIOMERGE TO...SAKUYAMON!"

Gallantmon and Sakuyamon stood ready as the 6 Black WarGrowlmon started to attack.

"ATOMIC BLASTER!"

Gallantmon blocked the attack with his shield. "FINAL ELYSIAN!" His counterattack knocked two Black WarGrowlmon off their feet. But more were still charging.

Sakuyamon swung her staff at one coming up behind her. She turned to find one slashing at her face...

"UGH!" She dodged and countered. "SPIRIT CRUSHER!" The Black Ultimate was sent spiraling into a well.

CRONCH!

The android left a hole in it's shape.

Chaos Gallantmon appeared on a rooftop and watched the battle. "They think they're winning, but my minions will get the upper hand soon."

Sakuyamon was able to fight off 3 and went to see in Gallantmon was in trouble. However the 3 BK WarGrowlmon had recovered quickly and attacked from behind.

"ATOMIC BLASTER!"

"AAAAAHHHH!" Sakuyamon was hit in the back by 3 lasers and screamed in pain.

Gallantmon turned from his battle and saw Sakuyamon fall. "NO!" He rushed over and caught her before she fell. "Sakuyamon are you alright?"

"Ugh...they're pretty strong...be careful of their Atomic Blaster."

Suddenly 3 more Atomic Blasters shot out, Gallantmon was able to put his shield up just in time. "They've surrounded us!"

Indeed, 6 BK WarGrowlmon had surrounded the 2 mega Digimon and were firing at them from all sides. Sakuyamon was injured and Gallantmon was trying to defend from the attacks.

Ai and Mako were playing in the park when they heard the fight going on. They had Impmon with them and they went to check it out. They saw Gallantmon and Sakuyamon being beaten up by the BK WarGrowlmon. "Oh no Takato and Rika need help!" "Impmon can you do something?"

Impmon smirked. "Alright, just stand back and watch me work."

Mako held out the D-Arc and Digivolution card.

"DIGI-MODIFY! DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE!"

"IMPMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO...BEELZEMON!"

Beelzemon ran to the battlefield and changed once more.

"BEELZEMON MODE CHANGE TO...BEELZEMON BLAST MODE!"

Beelzemon flew over the battlefield and looked around. "There's gotta be something I can do to break up the assault. AHA!" He readied his guns. "CORONA BLASTER!" Two shots hit 2 BK WarGrowlmon, one on each side. The other 4 looked in confusion, then saw Beelzemon and went after him.

Gallantmon lowered his shield and saw his chance. "LIGHTNING JOUST!" The attack hit another BK WarGrowlmon in the back. Gallantmon flew up and thrust his lance into another, impaling it and deleting it.

Sakuyamon began to recover and saw another BK WarGrowlmon coming up behind Gallantmon. "SPIRIT CRUSHER!" Her magic attack shot the black Digimon down. "That takes care of...wait...there was a 6th one."

The 6th BK WarGrowlmon managed to sneak away from the battle and went to warn Chaos Gallantmon up above.

Gallantmon looked up to the building next to them and saw their foe escaping. "There he is! Get him!" The 3 mega Digimon chased after the lone ultimate, until...

"DEMON'S DISASTER!" The BK WarGrowlmon was deleted. "Rejects. I should have given them more power."

Gallantmon's eyes grew wide as another Gallantmon appeared. This one had black armor and carried an evil energy about him. "Who are you?!"

"Ah...Takato and Guilmon, now Gallantmon. I've heard about you. I'm Chaos Gallantmon."

"CHAOS Gallantmon?!"

"Yes, I'm your evil twin, as you might say. I'm general of Moon=Millenniummon's dark Digimon army, which is one half of his whole army. That brat, Vincent leads the dark Digidestined, which are the other half of the army, sadly." Chaos Gallantmon sighed in disgust. "Anyway, Vincent and his brat pack have already made themselves known to your Digidestined friends, Tamers. So I've made myself known to you. Thanks to what those Digidestined did to Goldendramon, we've had to reconfigure the army. Of course, that's what got me my position."

"But why is Moon=Millenniummon here? What does he want from this world?" Beelzemon asked.

"Oh...wouldn't you like to know." Chaos Gallantmon chuckled. "But I'd like you to meet some old friends of yours." Chaos Gallantmon let out a high pitched whistle. 3 ultimate Digimon appeared beside him.

Gallantmon, Sakuyamon and Beelzemon gasped. The three ultimate Digimon before them were none other than the 3 viral Devas.

"Humph, surprised to see us you wretched humans?" Indramon spoke angrily.

"We know all about Lord Zhuqiaomon helping you. We're not happy about it. He's betrayed us!" Pajiramon spat.

"Now we hear about that Digidestined whom their Digital World idolizes. That just makes us sick!" Sandiramon growled.

Chaos Gallantmon chuckled. "I really have nothing against humans. It's just Vincent I don't like. But it was too tempting for Moon=Millenniummon to NOT resurrect the Devas. Oh my, they seem upset. Oh well...time to go now." Chaos Gallantmon and the 3 Devas disappeared.

Later that day, Davis was talking to Ants. "Man Bulbmon sure is huge. He's quite...bulbous! HA HA HA HA HA!" Davis laughed hysterically. A vein bulged in Ants' forehead and he had to uppercut Davis into the sky.

"Another goggle head...and this one's a moron." He grumbled. Suddenly he saw Gallantmon, Sakuyamon and Beelzemon come by. "Hey guys, what's wrong? You look like you've been through hell." He saw Ryo and Scott come up as well.

"Bad news, we just met another general. This one is CHAOS Gallantmon and he's got the Devas working with him." Gallantmon panted.

Ryo's eyes grew wide. "THE DEVAS?! THEY'RE BACK?! Oh crap."

"Yeah and they're really bitter about losing last time." Sakuyamon said.

"Devas? Who are they?" Scott asked.

"They're Ultimate level Digimon who worked for a Digimon Sovereign, Zhuqiaomon. He's not like Azulongmon. He hates humans and tried to kill all of us. But it looks like the Devas work for Chaos Gallantmon now, which means they've sided with Moon=Millenniummon."

"They sound like nasty customers." Scott muttered.

"They're even more angry and bitter than before." Beelzemon said as the 2 other Mega Digimon de-biomerged. "It looks like Moon=Millenniummon's building up his army quickly. We better stop this guy and soon."

"Yeah, his generals can produce some nasty Digimon." Ai said.

"We had to rescue Takato and the others from some BK WarGrowlmon." Mako added.

Takato was thinking. *'What other surprises does Moon=Millenniummon have prepared for us? The Devas are alive again and now a Chaos Gallantmon. I wonder if he has a Crimson Mode as well.'*

Vincent looked at them up above, on top of Valkyrimon. "Ugh. Chaos Gallantmon's really drastic. The Devas?! Great...now I have some disgruntled Ultimate level Digimon breathing down my neck."

Later that evening, Takato was lying down in the grass on a hill. He looked up at the moon, thinking. Suddenly he heard someone lay down beside him. "Rika?"

"Hi, goggle head."

"I was just thinking about what happened today. I can't believe the Devas are back. But I know we'll beat them again. I know I can stand up to anything, especially with you by my side."

"\*Giggle\* Thanks Goggle head."

"Rika." Takato leaned over.

"Takato." Rika started to pull Takato close to her.

The 2 Tamers kissed each other passionately, and time seemed to stop. Neither of them wanted their love to end.

Chaos Gallantmon looked out at the night sky. "Soon Digidestined, Soon Tamers, you'll meet your doom by my hands. With the Devas on my side, I'll best even the dark Digidestined."

Vincent stayed hidden as he listened to Chaos Gallantmon go on. "Not if I have anything to say about it."
