Chapter 22: Digital Beauty

Disclaimer: I do not own My Little Pony Friendship is Magic or Digimon, I do own Takuma and his Digimon Goldmon, also my pony OC's Christmas Gift, Harvest Leaf, and Pumpkin Spice from my other fanfic Equestria will make appearances as well

Two whole days had passed and the threat of another Deva attack seemed to not come. On the first day Renamon was gone, Rika had told Takuma that one of the Devas that attacked one day earlier had survived, Vajramon was it's name. She also told Takuma that he requested Renamon to speak to him alone. Even Takuma agreed with Rarity's choice of words saying this could be the break they were looking for and perhaps Renamon was trying her best to get the answer for them which would be why she never returned. Now on the second day however, Rika was worried as she and Takuma were walking together to school with Fluttershy walking alongside Takuma's right.

"She still hasn't returned?" Takuma asked Rika.

"Yes" Rika said "And now I'm getting worried."

"You have the right to be" Takuma tells her "If Goldmon did what Renamon is, then I'd be worried to and even though I'm not her Tamer, I'm getting a little worried myself."

Fluttershy looks at Rika "I'm worried too, Rika, but you've gotta have faith in Renamon. Perhaps Vajramon is taking a bit longer to convince to answer your question why the Deva's are attacking Equestria."

Rika gives Fluttershy an understanding nod "But still one would think Renamon would've secretly excused herself to inform us about the status."

"True" Fluttershy said understandingly.

"So Takuma?" Rika asked and Takuma looks at her "Did you tell Goggle-Head and Henry about the situation?"

"I respect your privacy" Takuma told her "And because of this I only told them about Vajramon being alive but for your privacy, left the fact out Renamon was talking to him in private the only two others that know the truth are Mother Twilight and Fluttershy here."

Rika nods giving Takuma a smile "Can't hold anything back from your mother and Fluttershy now can you?"

"Nope" Takuma admitted with a small smile on his face as well.

Digimon Tamers Theme

Commercial Break

Back to Show

Rika, Fluttershy, and Takuma walked back towards the schoolyard. Lately Fluttershy gotten up early to walk to the schoolyard with Takuma. She loved every minute of her life walking with the one she loved it. After Rapidmon defeated one of the Devas, the Tamers including Rika had agreed that Fluttershy being the caretaker of animals should be the one they'd go to to look after their Digimon during the school hours. Fluttershy being herself agreed and the Digimon all loved her graceful presence.

"Once Renamon gets back" Rika told Fluttershy "She'll stay with you as well if that isn't much to ask you to do Fluttershy."

"Oh-no, it's not a problem" Fluttershy told Rika smiling "I love all Tamer's Digimon although Guilmon can be a problem to feed."

Takato and Henry arrived with Takato overhearing this comment about Guilmon "Oh, uh sorry about what happened yesterday Fluttershy. Guilmon promises to not do that again."

"Oh, it's no big deal" Fluttershy said "Just wasn't expecting Guilmon to be that hungry. Do you ever feed him?"

"I do" Takato admits "But no matter how much I feed him he still somehow wants to eat more, however I assure you that Guilmon will watch himself when he's with you."

The Tamers got the the Schoolyard just in time to meet Miss Cheerilee whom greeted them with a big smile "You're all a bit early today." she turns to Fluttershy "Why, Fluttershy, nice to see you today."

"Indeed Cheerilee" Fluttershy told the teacher pony "I just love my time with Takuma."

Cheerilee smiles "Indeed, I'll say this Twilight Sparkle should be proud of the one she's raising as her son. He's smart just like her."

The rest of the fillies and colts arrived just as the bell was about to ring. Both Takuma and Fluttershy knew it was nearly time and turn to each other.

"Well Fluttershy" Takuma told her "I'll see you this afternoon."

"Indeed!" Fluttershy said "You can count on me to look after your Digimon friends while your in school."

The two kissed a little good bye kiss for the moment. Fluttershy watches as her boyfriend and his Tamer friends went inside the school. Once the school day started Fluttershy heads back to meet with the Tamer's Digimon whom were all gathered at Twilight Sparkle's house.

"Hey Fluttershy!" Goldmon and Terriermon announced.

"Fluttershymon!" Guilmon shouted as she advances.

Fluttershy runs down towards the Digimon and gives them all a hug "Well now let's go back to my house, I bet your all hungry for breakfast."

"You bet!" the three Digimon shout.

Fluttershy giggles "Alright then come with me."

Spike and Twilight Sparkle watch as the four headed off. Spike wasn't there when Takuma told Twilight and Fluttershy what Rika told him and this left him confused because he didn't see Renamon "Is Rika in School today?" Spike asked Twilight.

"She is" Twilight responds "Why?

"Well," Spike began then quickly finishes "Because Renamon isn't with Fluttershy, if Rika is in school shouldn't there be at least four Digimon with Fluttershy? I count only three."

Twilight Sparkle gulps nervously but holds her posture "Can you keep a secret Spike?"

"Uh, is it one that will hurt any pony?" Spike asked.

"No" Twilight Sparkle said "Or at least I hope it isn't."

Spike looks at Twilight as he never seen her so serious about this, especially when she herself hardly kept any secrets away from any pony. Spike then nods "If it won't hurt any Pony then I'll keep it."

Twilight answers Spike "Apparently, Vajramon one of the Devas the Tamers fought two days ago, survived."

"What?" Spike asked "Survived Rapidmon's Tri Beam attack? No way!"

"Yes, way somehow he did" Twilight said "And that night he approached Rika and Renamon and demanded a private talk with Renamon. Renamon did."

"And that would be why she isn't with the other Digimon" Spike said.

"Exactly!" Twilight Sparkle said with a smile "Renamon has been gone for two days, I'm sure Rika is worried about her but that's why I want to keep this a secret from every pony, never know which one will not hold it out."

"Agreed" Spike admitted "If one blurts this out by accident, Rika's privacy and perhaps her repetition as a tough Tamer might be at stake, Rika really doesn't need the pain right now."

"Exactly" Twilight Sparkle said to Spike "So the only ones that know are myself, you, Fluttershy, and Takuma?"

"What about Goldmon?" Spike asked.

"I'm sure Takuma being Goldmon's Tamer told Goldmon about it, but also told Goldmon to keep this secret as well" Twilight admits.

Spike then asks "Wonder what's taking Renamon so long to talk to this Deva?"

"Renamon says she'll explain when she returns" Twilight answered.

"Let's hope she does come back" Spike said "Being away from your Tamer for two days can't be a good sign."

"Agreed" Twilight Sparkle said "But I have faith Renamon knows what she's doing and won't abandon Rika. We all have to hope for the best."

Spike nods his head as he and Twilight go right back to work.

While she was working, in her pumpkin patch, Pumpkin Spice thought she overheard some pony talking. She quickly drops her tools using her magic to put them in a safe spot and approaches, Harvest Leaf whom also overheard this.

"Am I hearing things?" Pumpkin Spice asked.

Harvest Leaf shook her head "No, I'm hearing this too."

Harvest Leaf panics a bit and tries to head into the house "Whatever it is I don't want to know if it's two other Deva's!"

She attempts to run but Pumpkin Spice always being the bravest out of the two uses her Telekineses on her sister "Come on!"

"Please don't" Harvest Leaf panics "If it's two Deva's it's going to kill us!"

Pumpkin Spice sighs "Calm down! If they do, we'll know why they are attacking Equestria!"

Harvest Leaf sighs "Alright can you put me down? Please?"

Pumpkin Spice looks at her "Promise you won't run?"

"I promise!" Harvest Leaf begged "Just let me go and we'll go together."

Pumpkin Spice does and Harvest Leaf follows her oldest sister. They get to a Digital Field and a male's voice speaks out "Renamon it is time!"

The two ponies are silent as they see Vajramon with Harvest Leaf literally on the verge of being scared completely.

"It's gotta be that Deva" Harvest Leaf mutters scared.

Pumpkin Spice looks at her sister to comfort her as Renamon jumps and preforms flips then lands in front of Vajramon.

The Deva looks at Renamon "The way you move, it's like poetry."

Renamon gives him a look "Enough of this! What do you want with me?"

Vajramon walks forward "I want to talk...Renamon, I've come for a chance for you to change your destiny."

The two ponies heard this and had a very bad feeling about this.

Harvest Leaf then speaks up in a worried voice "Can we go now?"

This caught Vajramon's attention "Hold that thought."

Renamon follows his glare as he looks at Harvest Leaf whom is trembling with Pumpkin Spice glaring at him.

"Pumpkin Spice! Harvet Leaf!" Renamon shouts in a worried voice "What are you doing here?"

"We heard you all talking!" Pumpkin Spice said as Vajramon drew his sword " Being spies I see!"

Harvest Leaf gulps while Pumpkin Spice holds her ground and cool "We aren't spies! We were just interested in finding out who was talking?"

"Then how did you arrive her so quickly?" Vajramon asked.

"You're spot is right besides my Pumpkin Patch and our home" Pumpkin Spice responds "How were WE not supposed to arrive quickly?"

Vajramon thinks on the matter the two could be telling the truth but from the looks of things it looked like they overheard him speaking to Renamon about trying to change her destiny. He attempts to charge forward "You may tell the truth however I can't let you go knowing you heard me."

He draws his sword but Renamon manages to block it with her claws "Don't you dare harm these ponies!"

Vajramon turns to Renamon "Why not?"

Renamon answers with a quick but truthful lie to spare the pony's lives "They really aren't worth your energy, besides they were just in the right area at the wrong time. They can't even do anything to you, now is that honorable in killing those that can't fight back?"

Vajramon has to admit being on all about honor Renamon was right "Alright then" he puts back his sword "Sorry ladies, but please get out of here. I won't say another word until you do."

Pumpkin Spice sees in Renamon's eyes that Renamon wouldn't dare join the Devas but the Deva didn't know it all Pumpkin Spice does however is mutter out a silent "Thank you" to Renamon glad that Renamon had the sense to save the two ponies she turns to Harvest Leaf "Come on sis, let's go home."

As the two ponies walk off, Pumpkin Spice turns to Vajramon "Next time you want a private speech, make sure you talk in someplace where the ponies don't know where you are."

Vajramon understandingly agrees letting the two ponies go and out of his hearing range. Once out, Harvest Leaf looked like she'd have a heart attack "That Deva nearly killed us!"

Pumpkin Spice nods "He wouldn't have if you wouldn't have spoken up too loudly, we could've made our escape then."

"Now what do we do?" Harvest Leaf asked.

"We tell the Tamers right now" Pumpkin Spice spoke.

"But by then Vajramon might convince Renamon to join them!" Harvest Leaf said.

"It's that or Rika doesn't know what's going on at all" Pumpkin Spice told her sister "We know what's going on, she might not."

Harvest Leaf sighs knowing her sister was right, they knew what was going on. They had to try to act now before whatever Vajramon planned came to be "Well alright but do we know who has the Digimon?"

"Fluttershy does" Pumpkin Spice said "We're going to do this together, so here is what we do, Harvest Leaf, sense we aren't fliers like Christmas Gift or Rainbow Dash, so we need to act as quick as possible on our hooves."

"Agreed, so what are we going to do?" Harvest Leaf asked.

"I'll head to the schoolyard, sense it's a lot further away then Fluttershy's house, I'll head to the Schoolyard, Harvest, you must go to Fluttershy's and meet me at the schoolyard.

"Right" Harvest Leaf said and the two separated.

Harvest Leaf runs as fast as her four hooves can carry her with Pumpkin Spice doing the same thing as herself. Along the way, Pumpkin Spice runs into Applejack.

"Whoa their cousin!" Applejack spoke "What's the rush? Don't you need to keep an eye on your pumpkin plants?"

Pumpkin Spice answers "I do, but we've got trouble that only the Tamers can deal with."

"A Deva?" Applejack asked.

"You guessed it" Pumpkin Spice responds "And he's talking to Renamon trying to convince her to change her destiny."

"How the Hay does he plan to do that?" Applejack asked.

"I have no clue, buy the time Harvest Leaf and I heard of this from the Deva himself, Harvest blew our cover and he nearly attacked us if it wasn't for Renamon sparing us, now I need to reach the schoolyard to get the Tamers."

"I'll tag along" Applejack said "But shouldn't you get the Digimon first?"

"Harvest Leaf is on her way to Fluttershy's" Pumpkin Spice responds.

Applejack nods "Right, good plan. Now let's go together."

She turns to a big Red Stallion with a green apple on his flank for his Cutie Mark "Hey Big Mackintosh, cousin Pumpkin Spice and I have to get the Tamers that are in school, can you handle my work till I return?"

Big Mac's response to the question was his signature "Eeyp!"

This was all Applejack needed as she runs off with Pumpkin Spice towards the Schoolyard. Applejack made sure to bring her rope hoping to try to snarl this Deva in case he changed his mind and was chasing her cousin.

Harvest Leaf had finally made it towards Fluttershy's and just like her older sister suggested she was first to arrive at her first intended destination. Catching her breath she knocks on Fluttershy's door. The former Pegasus Pony answers "Yes?"

She spots Harvest Leaf "Harvest Leaf? Why are you doing out of your house? You hardly go far from your home."

Harvest Leaf explains the situation as Goldmon, Guilmon, and Terriermon are with her. She finally ends saying "The Tamers will need their Digimon for help!"

"Indeed they will if it's a Deva" Goldmon admits.

"Well what are we waiting for?" Terriermon asked "Let's go!"

Guilmon growls "For Rikamon and Renamon!"

Fluttershy nods "Right, let's go."

With Harvest Leaf at her side, the five run towards the schoolyard.

Back at the schoolyard, Rika was left wondering what was going on with Renamon. Takuma was noticing this as well as Miss Cheerilee continues teaching the humans what was required of by most teachers on Earth.

"Rika?" Mrs. Cheerilee asked as she caught Rika seemingly daydreaming "Rika?"

"Yes?" Rika asked snapping out of her trance.

"Takuma just read page one of the literature book, could you take over?" Cheerilee asked.

"Yes, ma'am!" Rika said.

Rika immediately takes over but Cheerilee can't help but notice Rika's mood. It wasn't the normal angry type of mood she normally was in when it came to her life outside of the school. The girl had been like this for two days straight. Once Rika finished her paragraphs, Cheerilee decided to speak up "So, what's wrong?"

"What do you mean Miss Cheerilee?" Rika asked.

Cheerilee answers "You've been depressed lately. Everything going alright?"'

Rika sighs "Well for the past two days yes."

Takuma notices the mood knowing exactly why Rika was acting like this, Renamon went missing for two day. Takato and Henry were left confused.

"Don't worry Cheerilee" Takato told her "Rika's just being her normal Rika self."

Rika grew an anger mark then smacked Takato in the back of the head "Ow! Rika"

"Saw that coming" Henry muttered as the fillies and colts laughed at Takato's dismay, every day it was nearly like this Takato somehow managed to get smacked every day sense they first began to take classes here.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Cheerilee looks at Rika "You sure your okay?"

"Yes Miss. Cheerilee" Rika said "Just two of those days I've been having, I'll be sure to be back to my true normal self tomorrow."

Cheerilee opens the door to see Applejack and Pumpkin Spice "Applejack? Pumpkin Spice what are you here for?"

Applejack answers "Miss Cheerilee, we need the Tamers! Cousin Pumpkin Spice here saw a Deva talking to Renamon."

At this Rika turned towards Takuma whom looked at her. Both she and him didn't really know how to respond, sure, it was good Renamon was spotted alive, but what was taking her so long? Takato and Henry also stood up with Takato asking "Could this be the Deva that is alive?"

"If it's one that looks like a red with yellow lining armored bull? Perhaps it is" Pumpkin Spice answers.

"Yep, it's him" Henry said.

Cheerille turns to the Tamers "Well, I guess you get to go and stop this Deva."

"We'll be back" Rika responds.

Cheerilee nods "Good luck Tamers!"

The Digimon Tamers nod while running with Applejack and Pumpkin Spice. It was then Takato froze "Uh, this might be harder, we need our Digimon...Takuma give Fluttershy a call, tell her we'll meet her at Twilight's-"

"No need" Fluttershy's quiet voice sounded.

The Tamers with Pumpkin Spice and Applejack turn to see Fluttershy, Harvest Leaf, Goldmon, Guilmon, and Terriermon.

"Already thought of" Pumpkin Spice tells Takato whom sweat drops "My bad guys."

"Where is the Deva and Renamon?" Rika asked Pumpkin Spice.

Harvest Leaf answers "About a mile's worth walk from Pumpkin Spice's and my home."

With this said, the Tamers start in a run to get to the area with Terriermon on Henry's back speaking up "Can't you run faster? We've got a bull fight!"

"Momentime will you?" Henry asked.

All Rika was thinking was Please don't go away from me!

At the area where Renamon and Vajramon were at Vajramon speaks "Beautiful Renamon, I brought you here because I believe you are worthy to serve our master, the Digimon Soverign. Join us and the human Kingdoms will be ours for the taking!"

Renamon shifts "Sounds tempting, but how does this Digimon Sovereign plan to do that and without the Sun Goddess knowing?"

"Well we the most powerful Digimon will vanquish human kind without her knowing" Vajramon said with Renamon casting a careful eye at the Deva.

As the Tamers with their Digimon, Pumpkin Spice, Applejack and Fluttershy were getting closer to the area.

"Takatomon, are we there yet?" Guilmon asked.

"No!" Takato responded.

"How about now?" Guilmon asked again.

"No!" Takato spoke he then puts on his goggles as the Tamers with the ponies, Fluttershy and their Digimon enter the fog "We should have a plan if were going up against Vajramon, anyone know if he has any weaknesses?"

"We spots?" Terriermon asked "He's a tank with horns!"

"You think Renamon's in there?" Takato asked.

Rika responds "Pumpkin Spice says she saw Renamon in there but that's not the thing that worries me."

"Then what does?" Henry asked.

"Possibility that she'd go with whatever the Deva asked of her" Takuma responded with Rika nodding.

"What would the Deva want with Renamon?" Takato asked.

"That's what we're going to find out" Takuma and Goldmon spoke up together.

Pumpkin Spice answers "He's trying to convince her to change her destiny."

"What does that mean?" Takato asked.

Takuma literally looks at Takato with shock "Simple, he wants Renamon to join the Devas."

Takato gets the message "That isn't good!"

The four Tamers burst into a run with Fluttershy, Pumpkin Spice, Harvest Leaf and the three Digimon. Henry stops looking threw his own goggle and gasps but it is Takato that spoke "He's a lot bigger then we expected."

"You going chicken on us Goggle-Head?" Rika asks.

"No" Takato spoke up quickly.

Terriermon does the sound of a chicken but this gets Henry to speak up "Terriermon!"

Not only this but Fluttershy gave Terriermon her classic stare stopping the Digimon from doing it more.

"This Digimon Soverign you all talk about, I've never heard of him until now" Renamon spoke "Who is he?"

"Digimon were created by humans. It's fitting that we have a Digimon Master that won't deceive us."

"But humans haven't deserted us" Renamon spoke in defense for humans "Plus why Equestria?"

"First of all, surely you're not talking about those human children whom treat you like pets! But we're magnificent creatures like ourselves, we were meant to rule over the world. And why attack Equestria? Consider us doing Celestia and Luna a favor in eliminating their human threat now before they become a bigger threat later on!"

"What do you mean buy that?" Renamon asked.

"Do you know what humans do? Surely enough humans will overrun Equestria and both your Princesses would never be able to stop their invasion when they do. And now when we take over this world, and with the guidance of our master, we shall rule over those humans creating a golden age where Digimon rage supreme!"

Renamon just stares at the Deva while the Tamers with their Digimon, Fluttershy and the ponies overhear this.

"So that's what their up to" Henry spoke.

"Man I knew it! It's conspiracy to take over the world!" Takato agreed.

"Okay, so the Devas are after us" Takuma muttered confused "But what did he mean by human invasion?"

Rika answers "On Earth, specifically in America, the Americans pushed the Native Americans out of their home land. Perhaps that's what the Digimon is talking about..."

"That or humans did cause some extinction of plants and animals" Henry said "But we're kids we wouldn't do that. Plus I'm sure the Princesses would be able to stop such a threat if it did happen."

"Which it won't" Takuma found himself saying as the Devas words were causing him to get a bit angry and mad for once "I care for these ponies, I would never betray their trust."

"I know for once that's true" Applejack said "Besides you're raised here by Twilight Sparkle and you know what's right and what's wrong."

Pumpkin Spice nods "Agreed with Applejack."

Guilmon then speaks out the question "What's a Soverign?"

Terriermon and Goldmon just turn confused as well but suddenly Calumon arrived "Hello!"

"Calumon?" Henry and Fluttershy asked.

"Can I watch?" Calumon asked hoping down towards Renamon whom spoke "You shouldn't be here."

"Oh, why not?" Calumon asked.

Vajramon spoke "Another Digimon that's a pet for those humans?"

"A new friend?" Calumon asked he jumps towards the Deva "Can I ride on your back? Can I?

Vajramon stomps nearly causing Fluttershy to burst out into a run and she might've had Takuma and even Applejack weren't holding her back.

"Hold your horses Fluttershy!" Applejack pleaded "The Tamers got this covered for you."

"We need to do something!" Henry spoke.

Takato does "Guilmon!"

Takuma also agrees "Goldmon!"

"Right!" Guilmon and Goldmon spoke and the two charge in "Coming Calumon!"

Takato and Takuma brings out a cards swiping it "Digi-Modify! Digivolution Activate!"

Both Tamer's D-Archs shown the words DIGIVOLUTION and the process began.

"Goldmon, Digivolve to...Scorpionmon!" Goldmon declared as he Digivolved.

"Guilmon Digivolve too...Growlmon!" Guilmon declared as he Digivolved.

Soon both Scorpionmon and Growlmon arrived to save Calumon with Rika wanting to run towards Renamon whom warned her "Stay there Rika!"

Scorpionmon lunges at Vajramon with his claws surprisingly stopping the Deva in his tracks even pushing him back. Vajramon notices Scorpionmon's strength which was pushing even a higher level Ultimate Level back. Once he protected Calumon the giant Scorpion shouts "Now Growlmon!"

"Dragon Slash!" Growlmon shouts gaining an attack in his claws.

The attack connects but is worn out by the armor of the Deva which easily negated the attack.

"Growlmon!" Takato shouts.

Takuma then watches as Vajramon tries to push Scorpionmon back but the giant scorpion stands firm. Takuma then thinks of a plan with Henry whom nods "You're up Terriermon!"

"It's about time!" Terriermon shouts.

Henry takes out his Digivolution card "Digi-Modify, Digivolution Activate!"

Once more Henry's D-Arch activated showing the words DIGIVOLUTION and the process began.

"Terriermon Digivolve too...Gargomon!" Terriermon declared as he Digivolved.

Renamon watches once again "Be careful Gargomon!"

Vajramon is still at bay thanks to Scorpionmon's strength as Gargomon advances "So, we meet again! Gargo Lasers!"

He starts firing at the Deva whose armor once again negates the attack but Takuma sees one that won't.

"Scorpionmon!" Takuma shouts.

Scorpionmon nods "I got him, Tail Stinger!"

Scorpionmon stings Vajramon in his head and the Deva roars as even Scorpionmon's Venom was going threw it causing him to lose concentration and Scorpionmon lets him have it "Laser Claws!"

Scorpionmon's attack strikes Vajramon in the armor and this time it wasn't enough and pushes Vajramon back injured a bit. This however just angers the Deva as he stares at the three Champion Level Digimon.

"Uh-oh!" Gargomon muttered as Vajramon drew his swords.

"Diamond Storm!" Renamon shouted taking advantage of her opponent when his back was turned.

Her attack hits Vajramon whom turns towards her "What is this?"

"Your Digimon Soverign's offer is a dream, but I won't be signing up any time soon" Renamon tells him.

"RENAMON!" Rika shouts.

"NOW" Renamon orders Rika.

Rika swipes her card "Digimodify, Digivolution Activate!"

Rika's D-ARch activates spreading the words DIGIVOLUTION and Renamon's process began "RENAMON DIGIVOLVE TOO! KYUBBIMON!"

"So you Digivolved!" Vajramon spoke "You'd make an even greater servant to our master. Join us Kyubbimon, and be part of a new world order."

"Never!" Kyubbimon shouted spreading her tails "Fox Tail Inferno!"

Once more the attack seems to engulf him but sadly, just as Growlmon and Gargomon found out his armor withstood the attack making Scorpionmon the only Champion Level so far to actually damage him. This didn't stop Kyubbimon whom jumped at him but he caught her "Beautiful, but yet so lost!"

He throws her at Growlmon and Gargomon even Scorpionmon.

"You're the one whose lost!" Scorpionmon told him.

Rika swipes another card "Power Activate!"

Kyubbimon jumps into the air "DRAGON WHEEL!"

She completes her attack but the Deva counters "Ginga Blade!"

His attack cuts threw Kyubbimon's attack "Kyubbimon, you would be much more stronger! Why do you depend on such a feeble partner?"

Kyubbimon growls at him while Fluttershy is trying to figure out how to knock some sense into the Deva, he just insulted her boyfriend whom was always human. Takuma helped her so much but yet she didn't have a comeback to help Takuma this time.

Henry then frowns "It's like we're fighting a wall! Only Scorpionmon managed to damage him.

"Because he was in close range" Takuma answered Henry "Armor can only protect you for so long."

"Then that's what we have to do" Takato said swiping a card "Growlmon, you've gotta get back in there! Hyperspeed Activate!"

"Pyro Blaster!" Growlmon shouted blasting out at the Deva whom just slices the attack.

"Energy Activate!" Henry shouted.

"Bunny Pummel!" Gargomon shouted running towards the Deva blasting away but only to have gotten smacked by the Deva which sent him plowing into Growlmon taking them down.

"Gargomon, you have to get up!" Henry shouted.

"Easy for you to say, you didn't get your butt whooped" Gargomon muttered.

"Growlmon we've gotta keep trying!" Takato shouted.

"Okie dokey!" Growlmon responds only.

"Digi-Modify!" Takato shouted "Power Activate!"

Takato then watches the scene as Growlmon tried to get up "Growlmon! Get up! Up!"

"Growlmon, down, down!" Growlmon spoke falling onto the ground.

"Then it looks like it's up to you and me Takuma" Rika told Takuma whom nodded.

Takuma turns "Scorpionmon, you're strength should over power him, just grab him"

Scorpionmon nods crawling forward with Kyubbimon joining Scorpionmon. She headbutts him but he repeals her "And here I thought, you'd be a worthy opponent, well at least Scorpionmon is a worthy opponent seeing that he for a Champion was able to do serious damage to me, but you're just pretty and all punch."

Kyubbimon lunges at him he dodges the attack but not a tail swipe to his face which sent him towards Scorpionmon whom grabs the Deva with one claw.

"That's the way!" Takuma told Scorpionmon.

"You're strong!" The Deva told Scorpionmon "I give you the same offer!"

"Yeah, well rejected!" Scorpionmon replied smacking the Deva's face with his left claw.

"I don't get it!" Vajramon spoke trying to break free of Scorpionmon's grip which was futile for some odd reason "Why do you and Kyubbimon serve humans?"

"Scorpionmon doesn't serve me in the way you are to your Soverign" Takuma told the Deva.

The Deva stops as he and Fluttershy advance.

"Careful Takuma" Takato told him.

The Deva finally frees himself from the grip and this time manages to grab Scorpionmon's tail then hurl Scorpionmon onto Kyubbimon and the two go flying.

Vajramon turns to Takuma and Fluttershy "What do you two humans mean?"

Fluttershy answers " Takuma didn't just create Goldmon to serve him."

"Correct" Takuma said "I created Goldmon to be friends with him. Equestria is all about friendship."

Even though he was able to break free Kyubbimon managed to headbutt him in the stomach sending him backwards a bit.

"I will convince you two to do join even if it requires me to destroy you!" he swipes at Kyubbimon slicing her two times.

"Kyubbimon!" Rika shouts but on his third slice Scorpionmon repeals it.

"I don't understand" Vajramon said "You and Scorpionmon could have unlimited power, but yet you two decide to be a lap dog for those humans."

"It's called friendship" Takuma answered for Renamon.

Fluttershy agrees with Applejack at her side "Yeah, Power isn't always everything! That's just wrong, the true power lies within one's heart as a friend."

Vajramon ignores the three with the words "Lies, Power is greater then your friendship and I'll show you three why!"

He crosses his swords and unleashes another attack from them. There is an explosion as it seemed to hit both Kyubbimon and Scorpionmon but really Kyubbimon managed to get away while Scorpionmon counters with both claws taking the blow for her. Rika looks threw her pocket thanking Scorpionmon for his quick reaction to protect Kyubbimon and sees a Blue Card "A Blue Card!"

She looks at Calumon "Now it's our turn!"

"Alright!" Calumon announces.

She takes the Blue Card swiping it threw "Digi-Modify! Matrix Digivolution Activate!"

The Blue Card's data goes to work with Rika's D-Arch announcing MATRIX DIGIVOLUTION!

"Kyubbimon, Digivolve too...Taomon!" Kyubbimon declares as she Digivolves.

The new form of Kyubbimon looked like a fox human. Even like a monk with a yin-yang symbol on her chest.

"How interesting" Vajramon spoke.

"Cool" Takato found himself speaking out while Rika gave a small secret smile to Takuma whom smiled back.

Henry checked his D-Arch "Taomon, Ultimate Data type graceful appearance masks her Thousand Spells and Talisman of Light!"

"You think we may need SamuraiScorpionmon" Takato asked Takuma whom turns "We'll keep SamuraiScorpionmon in reserve, no need to waste power unless it's needed."

"Agreed" Pumpkin Spice said.

"Our Master, won't be pleased that you look like a human" Vajramon spoke "Why would you pick such another Digivolution that looks like those weak and pathetic creatures?"

"I don't really care what your master thinks" Taomon speaks out "Besides, looks can be deceiving."

She jumps into the air "Thousand Spells!"

She unleashes cards out of her sleeves, Vajramon tries to counter with his swords cutting some down but three hit his chest and actually did damage.

"You stubborn creature!" Vajramon spoke "If you defy my master, I have no choice but to destroy you!"

He tries to use his swords on her but she dodges quickly while using her arms to repeal them.

"You wanted this!" Vajramon spoke "Why are you here?"

"I only wanted information out of you" Taomon spoke "Now that I got my answers, you can go now."

"Deceptive Winch! Once I've defeated you, I'll start on those humans!" Vajramon told her.

He unleashes an attack out of his sword "Terra Blades!"

Taomon avoids the attack but the attack goes towards Scorpionmon but Takuma sees it "Digi-Modify, Magical Shield Activate!"

Scorpionmon manages to gain the same shield he had used on Armormon which holds as Taomon is higher up now in a tree "No one threatens Rika!"

"Or Takuma!" Scorpionmon counters still with the shield on he sees Vajramon coming over towards Fluttershy and his Tamer then dives forward, the shield holds as Scorpionmon defends the two humans "Or Fluttershy!"

Quickly thinking Scorpionmon uses his tail to disarm Vajramon of his swords then aims his claws "Claw Lasers!"

Once more the attack hits Vajramon in close range far away from his swords.

Taomon takes this time to finish him as the Deva is disarmed and there was nothing he could do to defend himself now and she brings out a paint brush "Talisman of Light!"

She paints downward to unleash a Talisman symbol which shown bright light blinding the Deva "What's happening? This can't be!"

The attack strikes Vajramon and it defeats him as he burst into data particles. The ponies, the Tamers, Fluttershy and their Digimon celebrated the win and now it was time to head back to the school to catch up on their lesson with Rika looking at Takuma "We must inform Princess Celestia about this while delivering a friendship report."

Takuma gives her a smile with Fluttershy nodding "Go for it."

"Spike!" Rika shouts and Spike was there because Twilight Sparkle had sensed the appearance of Vajramon again then went to investigate to try to help Rika find Renamon again.

Spike heard his name brought out a sheet of paper "Ready!"

Rika begins "Dear Princess Celestia, today I learned that it although it can hurt you, it's best to trust in your friend to do the right thing, and Renamon has. Thanks to Renamon, the other Tamers and I learned out the truth about the Digimon Soverign. While Renamon was gone talking to the Deva Vajramon, I was quite worried about her, worried that she'd join the Devas and abandon me. It wasn't the case and no matter what happens now, the Tamers, our Digimon and I will stop the Devas. But one thing is for sure I am quite pleased with Renamon's latest Digivolution into Taomon and how heroic Renamon looks like standing in the sunlight. I shall never worry about Renamon disappearing to get answers for us ever again."

Spike finishes the letter and sends it to Princess Celestia.

Rika turns to Renamon "Renamon, Takuma, Henry, Takato, and I have to go back to school, I'll see you later on after school. So please listen to Fluttershy."

"Right Rika" Renamon said nodding.

The Tamers headed back to school with Pumpkin Spice, Harvest Leaf heading home, Applejack going back to her family's home to work, Fluttershy leading the Digimon to her place to watch after them, Twilight Sparkle and Spike staying there to study on her magic studies.
