Tamers, Time, Triforce

Chapter1: Back to normal…almost

Shinjuku Park

Takato Matsuki walked slowly through dimly lit tunnel, followed by BlackTerriermon, BlackRenamon and BlackGuilmon. It had been six months since Takato first went Hyrule, he and Guilmon had been visiting Hyrule once a week since then. Guilmon just wanted to go there because of the food Princess Zelda had gotten her chef to make for him. DT only came out of Takato’s shadow when they were there and as for Takato he had been sword training with Link to prepare for the War of Time that was supposed to occur next year. When he returned from Hyrule the first time, the Tamers wanted to know where he had been and what it was like. He said he couldn’t tell them and when one of them asked him if he could go back he said he didn’t know which was true at the time. He didn’t learn how to open portals until Princess Zelda had taught him after she opened a portal for him to step through back to Hyrule.

This leads the group to what happened last month when several portals began to open and creatures such as moblins began to appear. Takato and Guilmon had sensed that a portal had opened but didn’t tell anyone of the Tamers. They wouldn’t understand even Rika wouldn’t and he’d prefer not to answer a ton of questions about Hyrule just yet.

A day after his and Guilmon’s return they were approached by Renamon and Terriermon. The two digimon had asked for special training with the powers of Chaos and he reluctantly agreed. Thinking back on it now though it was a good thing he had agreed, between trying to get rid of the creatures that came out of the portals and keeping it secret would have been hard to do by himself. He had used the powers of Chaos several times to turn the digimon into their dark mega forms.

No one saw them deal with the portals but that didn’t ease the pressure on their shoulders. The attacks were becoming more frequent and larger numbers of moblins and Stalfos were appearing. Knowing they couldn’t keep it a secret for much longer Takato used the powers of Chaos to turn all digimon under his control into their darker versions such as Guilmon into BlackGuilmon but they kept there normal attacks.

But that cover wouldn’t hold if they were to be discovered in one place like they were tonight. Takato had also used the power of Chaos to turn his cloths into something similar to his shadow self’s cloths. A red top with black jeans, he also created a mask similar to Gallantmon’s helmet but a lot smaller. The Gallant Mask completely covered his face and hair. He unsheathed his Fairies sword which was strapped to his back; he chose to keep it with him after the whole battle of Hyrule thing which was for the best considering the recent attacks.

A chill had now captured his body and he assumed a fighting stance. The others did the same and directly in front of them a bright white portal had formed. Within moments thirteen Moblins and four Stalfos had emerged from the portal. It collapsed moments later causing the tunnel to darken slightly. Takato nodded to Renamon and saw the digital fox jump onto and run across the ceiling.

“BlackTerriermon, BlackGuilmon!” Takato shouted “cover fire!”

The two digimon ran on opposite sides of the Tamer and attacked. “Pyro Sphere!” Guilmon shouted as he shot a ball of fire into the center of the enemy group. “Bunny blast!” Terriermon shouted as two balls of green energy shout from his mouth and hit the two Moblins that led the formation.

“BlackRenamon” Takato said looking up at the digital fox.

She was directly above the formation of moblins, “Diamond storm!” she shouted as she sprayed them with her attack. Several moblins disappeared in a cluster of smoke.

Takato lunged forward “break and attack!” he called out as he cut his sword through a confused Stalfo. The digimon had seen him wield the sword with such precision before so they were used to it now, though they were surprised when they first saw him outfight a moblin with it. BlackTerriermon used his Terrier tornado to wipe out several of the moblins cutting their number down considerably while BlackGuilmon and BlackRenamon took on a pair of Stalfos.

Takato and the lead Stalfo only stood at opposite sides of the battle though they were in the center of it. No’ one from either side dared engage them, moments later all of the moblins were turned to dust and that left the lead Stalfo.

The digimon backed away and disappeared into the shadows. The Stalfo looked at Takato and stated “you appear to be the leader of this group; you must know that even if you defeat me I will only come back”.

Takato nodded and replied “I know but that just means I will have to keep on killing you until you get the point”.

The Stalfo drew his sword and shield. Takato held the Fairies sword tighter; they lunged at each other, clashing swords, parrying attacks and dodging. Takato ducked as the Stalfo’s blade swung for his head. He rolled to his left, doing exactly what Link had taught him. He rolled to his feet, pushing his power to where his feet were. He jumped off the ground and into the air above the skeleton’s head. He grabbed the tip of the blade and used it like a staff. He cut through the skeleton’s neck and found himself standing behind the Stalfo a few seconds later.

The skeleton stood there for a moment and then slowly fell to the floor face down with his head rolling on the floor beside him. The Stalfo like so many others disappeared in a puff of smoke; Takato felt a strange feeling travel into the hand that held the Fairies sword. He looked at the blade and saw that it was no’ longer the Fairies sword. This sword was the same shape but red with black runes. He looked at it for a moment longer confused as to what just happened. ‘I guess I’ll ask the Princess’ about it later he thought as he sheathed his sword and looked down the tunnel. The digimon walked out of the shadows and looked at him.

“It’s getting late we should head back before someone notices were gone” he said as he stared at the place where the Stalfo had once been. He saw the others nod and turned to leave. They walked out of the tunnel in silence knowing that they shouldn’t talk on these little missions without a good reason. There could be eavesdroppers anywhere and they didn’t want everyone to know that there was now another threat besides the odd wild digimon that occasionally showed up.

When they were out of the tunnel Takato pulled out his D-Arc and what looked like a red card. He swiped the red card and the digimon returned to there normal forms. Renamon fazed into the shadows without a word, Guilmon ran off towards the park with Terriermon on his head. Takato still wearing his mask and cloths focused his powers into his feet once more. He jumped high into the air and towards home.

‘The portal to Hyrule opens again tomorrow’ he remembered as he landed at the front step of the Matsuki Bakery. The lights were off because of it being past 11:30 and most of the neighbourhood was usually asleep by this time. He entered the house without a sound and made his way up to his room. His parents often wondered where he was going late at night like tonight but decided to allow him to do what he needs to do knowing he always had a good reason of doing these kinds of things.

He pulled out his D-Arc the red card again. He swiped the card, his cloths returned to their normal colours of blue and grey. He removed the mask and held his D-Arc towards it. A beam of light shot out from the D-Arc and engulfed the mask. The mask disappeared in to the D-Arc and Takato placed the device on the table he had beside his bed.

He got ready for bed and fell asleep as soon as he hit the willow. He awoke the early the next morning, remembering it was a Saturday and quickly went back to sleep. After a few more hours of rest he got out of bed and got dressed. He walked down the stairs and picked up some day-old bread for Guilmon. He stuffed them into his bag and turned towards the front door.

“Takato!” his mother called out from the kitchen “Renamon and Terriermon are here to see you!”

Takato walked into the kitchen and saw the two digimon standing in the doorway. He approached them and they quickly left the Bakery. As soon as they were sure that they were alone Renamon spoke “were going with you”.

“And your not going to say no this time” Terriermon stated as he climbed onto the Tamers Goggle covered head.

He grinned and replied “fine but just you two and Guilmon”.

“Hey what about me?” he heard his shadow ask.

Takato only shook his head and started walking towards Guilmon’s shed with the two digimon following close behind in the shadows. He was just about to climb the stairs that led to Guilmon’s shed when a familiar voice called out for him. “Takato! Takato!” he heard Kazu shout as he and Kenta approached the Tamer of Chaos. The two Tamers were followed by their digimon “do you want to play digimon cards with us today?” Kazu asked in between breaths.

Takato looked around to see where the digimon were but remembered that Renamon and Terriermon were in the shadows. He looked back at the exhausted duo in front of him and replied calmly “I’m busy today, sorry”.

Kazu finally stopped panting and stated “you said that last Saturday”.

Takato nodded and said “I’m busy every Saturday”.

“Well what are you doing that’s so important?” Kenta asked.

Takato looked at him and knew he couldn’t lie to them but he also knew that he couldn’t tell them either. “I can’t tell you” he stated mater-of-factly. They were about to ask him why he couldn’t tell them when they noticed Digital Hazard sign flashing on the boy’s D-Arc. They slowly backed away remembering what happened the last time they saw him with anger, ‘Megidramon’.

Takato walked up the stairs and felt that the symbol had stopped flashing. He entered the shed and saw that Guilmon had been waiting for. Renamon with Terriermon in hand fazed in beside him. He looked over at Renamon and she nodded. Knowing that Renamon’s nod meant that Kazu and Kenta had long since gone, Takato stepped forward and held out his D-Arc. The area in front of the device parted revealing the grassy plain of Hyrule field. The group stepped through and saw the portal collapse behind them.

They looked around and saw the Castle not too far away. Takato pulled out a red card and swiped it.

Chaos Evolution

His cloths changed into that of his Chaos garments which he had worn for last night’s battle. DT jumped out of his shadow the moment the cloths changed and smiled at the Tamer of Chaos. He nodded to Renamon and she disappeared into the shadows. Terriermon climbed onto the Guilmon’s head and the two set off towards the newly constructed Lon Lon Ranch followed by DT. He shook the memory of the first Ranch’s destruction aside and felt the Gallant mask cover his head. He collected some energy and ran using that energy to increase his speed.

Henry’s Apartment

Henry Wong watched and smiled nervously as his sister Susie played Pwincess Pwetty Pwants with Lopmon. How that rabbit could go so long without going insane was beyond him but she did it. Henry stood up and looked about the apartment for his partner and best friend. The digimon was no’ where in sight which caused Henry to feel relief and worry at the same time. Relief because he would get an ear full if Susie got a hold of his partner and worry because he was not here.

He shrugged it off and thought that the digital rabbit could handle itself. He turned to his sister and Lopmon. He could see the pleading look on the digimon’s face saying ‘please help me’. He looked at his sister and asked “hey Susie, do you want to go to the park today?”

She turned to her big brother and nodded happily. “Okay pwut could we pwick up some ice cweam on the way, Pwease?” she asked.

“Okay” he said as Susie let Lopmon go. He saw the digimon give a silent ‘thank you’ and moved to recover after the pwetty pwants treatment she had endured. After a few minutes the three of them headed out of the apartment, only one thought lingered in Henry’s mind ‘I hop Terriermon’s alright’.

Rika’s House

Rika Nonaka checked through every room in the house and found her partner was no’ where in sight. “Grandma” she called to the only human other than Takato she trusted who was in the next room “have you seen Renamon?”

“She said she was going out for a while!” Mrs Nonaka called back “she said she won’t be back until tonight!”

“Do you know where?” the Digimon Queen asked as she entered the room where her grandmother was on the family computer.

“No, sorry” came the reply “I wouldn’t worry Rika, Renamon can take care of herself”.

‘I hope your right’

Castle Town

“So you see my problem” the Tamer of Chaos said as he and the Hero of Time jumped away from each other. The two had been doing training in the Castle courtyard for the last hour and talked while doing it as well.

The green clad Hero took out his bow and aimed for Takato’s head. Fire erupted from the end of the arrow as it was shot towards him. “If you want to know what’s going on with the moblins and Stalfos that keep popping up in your dimension then your going to have to ask Zelda” Link stated as he saw the Tamer dodge, the arrow missed its target by a mere few inches. The boy in the garments of Chaos ran at inhuman speed towards the Hero. The Hero placed the Bunny Hood on his head and used its enhanced speed to keep up with the Tamer. They locked sword causing both of them to use a great amount of energy to hold their ground.

The two stood there, both struggling to get the upper hand over the other. “Yeah I suppose I should but I’m not sure it would help” Takato stated while they were still locked. The Tamer pushed using the power of Chaos to knock his opponent back a little, the Hero flipped backwards and saw Takato pursuing swinging his sword to try and get a hit in before the Hero could counter strike. Too late, the Hero of Time stopped just long enough to roll out of the way of his adversary. Takato turned but was met with being knocked to the ground by Link’s full body weight.

He looked up at the Hero and saw the Master Sword just above his head. Link sheathed his sword and held out a hand which Takato grabbed. He was pulled to his feet and held his sword out in front of him. Link looked at the blade for a moment and turned to him a bit puzzled. “I thought you had the Fairies sword?” he asked a bit confused and took off the Bunny Hood.

Takato shook his head and sheathed the blade. “That is the Fairies sword” he stated as they turned towards the entrance to the courtyard “that’s something else I have to ask about”. Link nodded as they walked through the Castle hallways. “How’s the Ranch?” the Tamer asked.

“Completely rebuilt after…you know” Link replied as they both remembered it was burnt to just the metal fence by a pair of Gerudos and then completely destroyed during the Battle of Hyrule.

Takato nodded and looked at the Hero’s expressionless face. Something was bothering the Knight of Time and Takato had noticed that by the way Link had been talking nervously all day. “What’s wrong?” he asked the Hero and they stopped walking.

Silence filled the corridor for a few seconds and then Link spoke “do you know a fighting tournament called ‘Super Smash Bros’?”

Takato knew what he was talking about, he had heard of the tournament from a few of the town’s people. “Yeah, something about a dozen dimension’s sending their best fighters to win some kind of trophy” the tamer stated and Link nodded.

“I’ve been invited to it, I went the last two times, the first when the tournament started and I lost that one to someone I consider a friend. The second one I won just barely and now I have to defend my title” The Hero said sorely “which means I will be leaving Hyrule for a few months”.

“How many months?” Takato asked hoping it wouldn’t be long.

“Six months” Takato took a step back a felt that he had touched to wall behind him. “Which means when you leave Hyrule later today, you won’t be returning for another six months” the Hero finished.

Takato looked up at the Hero and smiled. “Then I hope you win” he said and then laughed “your going to have to tell DT and DR about this”.

Link let out a laugh and said “yeah but I think they will take the news a little different then you”. As they walked Takato pulled out his D-Arc and the red card. He swiped it causing his mask to disappear and his cloths to return to normal.

After the two went their separate ways, Takato walked towards the Throne room where Zelda and King Hyrule were sitting. He approached them and saw the guards in the room salute. He bowed before the two of them and rose moments later. He turned to Zelda and asked “Princess could I have a word with you?”

She turned to her father and he nodded. After the whole Battle of Hyrule, the King considered him to be a friend as well as an ally and knew he would not do anything that would be threatening towards the Hyrule’s people. The Princess of Destiny and the Tamer of Chaos left the room without a word. One of the guards approached the Throne form behind and whispered in the King’s ear “if I may ask, why do you trust a person of darkness like him, your Majesty?”

“He was chosen by the Goddesses to control the powers of Darkness” the King grunted “he was chosen because he is incorruptible, that alone makes him trustworthy”.

Outside the Throne room door Zelda led Takato to the courtyard where he had been training earlier. She turned to him and felt the Triforce of Wisdom resonate. She nodded now knowing what he was about ask. “I don’t know why your sword has changed colour” she blurted out slightly shocking him. He took a step back and quickly recovered. He had gotten used to her always knowing what everyone in Hyrule was thinking “if you want to know more about the Fairies sword then you are going to have to go to a Great Fairies fountain and ask one of the Great Fairies yourself”. He nodded and she continued “as for your other problem, I’m afraid I know very little of the connections between dimensions but I do know a place where you can find the answers”.

She grabbed his hand and held his arm away from the both of them. The power of Chaos flushed through his body and into his fingers. The space in front of them parted and she stepped towards it. “What’s that?” he asked as she turned back to face him.

“It is a portal to the Chamber of Reality” she stated “you should be able to open this portal anytime so don’t worry you won’t need me for that”. She turned and looked into the portal “there you will find the Guardian of Reality; he will explain to you how the Moblins and Stalfos are getting into your dimension”. The portal collapsed as she turned back “just remember to be careful”.

He nodded and they both went their separate ways. Knowing time was of the essence he turned back into his Chaos form and ran at inhuman speed out of the Castle. He went to the Great Fairies Fountain next to the Castle and entered. He was met by one of the Great Fairies floating in mid-air above the fountain. She smiled and asked “what can I do for you Tamer of Chaos?”

He took out the Chaos sword and held it up to her handle first. “This was originally the Fairies sword, why has it changed?” he asked knowing she must have the answer.

She continued to smile and replied “this weapon like the Blade of Evil’s Bane has a mind of its own; it has moulded itself into something fitting of its owner”.

He thought about this for a moment and asked “if that’s true then why didn’t it change for Link, it was his sword first”.

The Great Fairy shook her head and stated “the Hero of Time has already been chosen to wield another sword with a mind of its own, the Master Sword, he could not be claimed as the wielder of a weapon by another sword when he has already been destined one”.

Takato looked at the Chaos sword and soon sheathed it. “So this weapon claimed me as its master?” he asked and the Great Fairy nodded “thank you”. She disappeared into the water of the fountain as he turned to leave. The Hazard symbol appeared on his D-Arc and he turned to the shadows. “You can come out now” he said as he gripped the handle of his sword. The Sage of Shadow appeared and he relaxed.

“I thought you were someone else for a second Impa” he stated but found that his D-Arc still showed the Digital Hazard. He turned and jumped back when he saw a figure standing behind him. He looked over at the figure and saw it was Renamon. He could have sworn he saw her smirk “how’d I know?”

The Kitsune pointed to his D-Arc and saw that the symbol of the Hazard had disappeared. “It’s getting late” Impa stated “your friends are at the Ranch”.

Takato turned to her and said “goodbye Impa, see you in six months”.

She nodded and watched as the digital fox and the Tamer of Chaos ran at inhuman speed out of the fountain area. He ran through Castle Town with little effort and saw that Renamon had disappeared into the shadows. He exited the town and ran towards the newly constructed Lon Lon Ranch. It was similar to the original but it had an extension on the house where the owners lived. It was nearing sun down and they needed to get back soon before the dimensional window closed again.

He entered the ranch and quickly checked his watch which he had bought after the he returned to Shinjuku. He looked around the corral and saw that Link was there with the digimon minus Renamon. He approached and noticed that DT, DR and BlackGuilmon had just exited the house. Takato shook his head as they walked towards the corral. Malon came out of the house as well and quickly caught up with them.

The Tamer approached the Hero and asked “you did tell those two about the tournament, right?” he pointed to the three shadow beings.

Link rubbed his head nervously and said “yeah I told them but they didn’t like it”.

“Should I ask what they did?” Takato asked and Malon shook her head as she walked up to Link’s side. Takato turned to the others and said “we should be getting back”. The digimon nodded but DT only grunted, clearly he was not happy and Takato had learned not to aggravate him when he was like this.

Takato focused his energy and opened a portal back to Shinjuku as he felt DT dive into his shadow again. He stepped through the portal followed by the digimon, they landed in Guilmon’s shed and Takato turned back. The Tamer and the Hero waved to each other over the dimensions just before the portal collapsed, fading into memory.

They turned and walked out of the shed. It was nightfall and they needed to get back to their homes. “Renamon, take Terriermon home and then return to Rika” he said to the fox and saw her nod. He turned to Guilmon and said “see you tomorrow boy” he patted the digital dino and turned to leave. He saw Renamon disappear with Terriermon in hand and then ran at inhuman speed towards home. He stopped at his street and swiped the red card. His cloths returned to normal and this Gallant Mask disappeared into his D-Arc.

He entered his parent’s bakery and saw that the store was just about to shut. “Hi mom!” he called out to the kitchen.

“Takato good your back, did you have a good day?” he heard his mother call back.

“It was fine mom! I’ll be in my room if you need me!” he shouted as he took off his shoes and walked up to his room. He dropped his D-Arc on his table and took off his bag. He dropped his bag on the floor and sat at his desk-like table. ‘Guardian of Reality’ he thought he remembered what Zelda had said.

“When are we going?” his shadow said in his mind.

‘We’ll go tomorrow, there’s no sense in going now, we’re exhausted and if you haven’t noticed we just got in’. the Tamer of Chaos replied.

“Tomorrow it is then”

Matsuki Bakery

It was now past mid-night and the Tamer of Chaos was fast asleep. DT was also trying to get some sleep, although he hated sleeping in the dark void of the boy’s shadow. He had gotten used to it however and had was a very light sleeper. A chill travelled down his shadowy spine and it jolted him awake. “Takato” the shadow said, waking the Tamer up.

The Tamer’s eyes shot open as he sensed that a portal had been opened, he climbed out of bed and got dressed. ‘Where?’ He thought as he grabbed his D-Arc and cards.

“A few blocks away on your left” DT said as Takato exited the Bakery without a sound. He turned and proceeded in the general direction his shadow had stated. He approached the old run down district of the city and swiped the red card.

Chaos Evolution

His cloths changed into their Chaos garments and the Gallant Mask formed over his face. He accelerated and jumped from building to building. He looked down at the alley before him and saw a glowing white portal. Three Moblins emerged from the center of it; Takato unsheathed his sword and slid down the lamp post beside him.

“I think you should have taken Guilmon with you” he heard his shadow comment.

‘It’s fine I can handle this’ Takato replied in thought.

The Tamer of Chaos assumed a fighting stance and charged towards the group of moblins. He cut through one of the moblins and saw that ten more had appeared from the portal. Moving at inhuman speed, he dodged several attacks jumped into the air. He planted his sword square in a moblins face, pulled it out, jumped away from the moblin and spun around cutting several more in the process. Seven moblins were now down, a Stalfo emerged from the portal and it collapsed behind him.

The Tamer jumped up onto the building and pointed his sword at the group of moblins which were now clustered together. Big mistake the sword glowed an eerie brown as he jumped down straight into the middle of the formation. He drove the sword into the ground and felt a blast of energy surge through it. The ground around them shook and the moblins were turned to dust by the shockwave caused by the release of the blades energy.

The Tamer of Chaos slowly climbed to his feet and looked over at the Stalfo and the portal that had opened beside the skeleton warrior. “Not bad Tamer of Chaos” the Stalfo stated “but I’m afraid we will have to finish this some other time”. The skeleton stepped through the portal and it collapsed behind him. Takato let out a sigh and slowly walked home ‘some other time then…’

Author’s notes: nothing to report other than I’m doing the Tamer of Chaos first and then I’m moving onto Time’s Tournament. They both run at the same time during their separation for six months. See you Later…
