Chapter 26: Takuma's Mission

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.

The Great and Powerful Trixie was in the human world of Earth. She kept a low profile looking for three human children to send to Equestria as it was her orders. The blue unicorn pony lay low watching as kids walked by. None seemed to have a clue of her presense and were in her eyes life threatening. She had been told to look at those that loved the Digimon Battle Card Game. She watches the kids closely laying low in a forest area. She closes her eyes remembering her orders.

Flashback

It was the night of Indramon's defeat. Once again Trixie knew that her boss was furious of the defeat. He was raging all over at the defeat. The Digimon Tamers were becoming quite a big problem to him. Even when he guessed an attempt to lure Renamon to his side had failed. Now he had to think of something. Then he thought of it. Sure the four Tamers in Equestria would face off against any of his henchmon that he and Trixie sent into it. He then got the idea to send three more humans into Equestria and this might prove the Deva's point to two certain Princesses.

"Trixie!" the raging flames shout to her causing the blue unicorn to gasp in fear "Yes? Master?'

The Raging Flames commanded her his plan "Go to the Human World."

"What for?" Trixie asked.

"You are to send three other humans to Equestria" the raging Flames told her "If it works the two Princesses will be fearing the worst."

Trixie nods at her boss still trying to understand him.

End of Flashback

Trixie then hears footsteps and then sees Kento, Kazu, and Jeri. She looks at the three seeing from catching a picture Takato carried around that these three were his friends. Her grin is on her face as she approaches them.

The Girl Jeri blinks as Trixie walks towards them.

"Hello, you three, you are in the presence of the Great and Powerful Trixie" Trixie spoke to them "And I have an offer for you three...How would you like to go to the Digital World?"

Digimon Tamers Theme

Commercial Break

Back to Show

Jeri was still trying to put two-and-two together and she trembled "A talking unicorn!"

"Is she an intraining form of Unimon?" Kazu asked Kento

Kento looks at him "Don't know, she's a bit smaller then I would expect from Unimon's Rookie Level form."

"The Great and Powerful Trixie isn't a Digimon!" Trixie shouted at them.

"Sorry miss Trixie!" Jeri bowed to her.

Trixie looks at them as Kazu is staring at her "You know where the Digital World is?"

Trixie uses her magic to rub a hoof clip up and down her right hoof "Oh, there are lots of worlds the Great and Power Trixie knows. Which the Great and Powerful Trixie will send you three too if you want it."

"Do we want to go the Digital World!" Kento asked "SURE! We only met Takuma whom was a Tamer, we want to be Tamers too!"

Trixie looks at them "Great, I'll be willing to help you all."

"You would Trixie?" Kazu asked he was about to say more when Trixie corrects him "Always address Trixie as the Great and Powerful Trixie!"

"Yes ma'am!" Kazu said "Anyway we'd be delighted too!"

Trixie just gives them a good look a small hidden smile on her face as she thinks to herself Checkmate!

She looks at the three whose eyes were on her "Very well now watch the Great and Powerful Trixie do her work!"

The three human kids are silent as Trixie's horn glows bright blue and she sends the magical transporting spell at the three humans successfully transporting them but up in well no where they had expected. The three find themselves in the air screaming.

Applejack and Takato had been working that day to see three humans falling from the sky. Well they didn't know at first till they heard screams.

"What the hay?" Applejack demanded.

Takato hears it too. The orange Earth Pony and the human boy turned towards the screaming.

They weren't the only ones that heard it for Rainbow Dash whom was visiting Takuma and his girlfriend Fluttershy also heard it.

"Did you hear that?" Rainbow Dash asked her two friends.

Takuma nods "Yes, I did."

"Well then" Fluttershy said blushing a bit "Whoever is screaming might need our help."

"Then let's go see whose screaming" Goldmon suggested "It's coming from..."

The Digimon turns finishing his sentence "Sweat Apple Acres!"

This got Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Takuma to look at each other. This allows Rainbow Dash to clap her hooves together "Then let's get this down to business."

The three go off towards Sweat Apple Acres. When they get there, they run into Applejack, Takato and Guilmon. Once they get to the area they see whom dropped by well it was Takato whom heard Kento explaining "Okay? If this is the Digital World's orchard then we are in the right place."

"Jeri? Kazu? Kento?" Takato asked as the three new kids were stuck in the trees.

The branches of the trees contained the three children by their shorts. Well Jeri's skirt was caught exposing her panties a bit which of course caused Takuma to cover his eyes. He had seen his girlfriend naked about three times and he supposed that was okay but for him to see what he had seen well, he just didn't want to and knew it wasn't a gentleman's habit to stare at such things.

"What the hay happened here?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Good question" Takuma admitted.

Kento looks at the six "Hey Takato!"

"Hey guys!" Takato told the three "What brings you here?"

"Uh this Great and Powerufl Trixie did!" Jeri explained.

"Yeah!" Kazu said "She told us she was going to send us to the Digital World! Are we?"

"Uh" Takato muttered then quickly came up with the answer "No."

"WHAT?" The three asked while this all caused Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Takuma to look at each other. These three were tricked by Trixie lured into false hopes to get into the Digital World.

"Then what is this place?" Kazu asked.

"A'll explain what happened once I got you down!" Applejack said she throws a rope around each of the new humans.

She gently tugs them all out of the trees that they were trapped in. Well she aimed to tug them gently but they still fell out landing on their heads. This caused everyone and everypony to wince with Applejack going "Opps."

"Are they okay?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yeah we are" Kento muttered "After we get our heads to stop seeing stars and spinning."

Takuma, Takato and Fluttershy help the three new humans up once they came too.

"Thanks" Kazu said he looks at the one that had helped him up and blinks "Takuma?"

"Yeah" Takuma told him "It's me."

"I thought you were moving to Japan with your mother" Kento told him.

"Sorry fellas" Rainbow Dash said "But Takuma is staying here as long as Twilight Sparkle stays here."

"And we all like him here" Applejack adds on.

"Agreed" Fluttershy said holding Takuma's hand but she was still a bit shy meeting three other humans.

Takuma noted this because Fluttershy was still hiding behind him that and he saw her peaking behind his back.

"Hey and it's Fluttershy" Kento spoke "Hey! How's Takuma treating you?"

"Uh, why yes!" Fluttershy answered "Why wouldn't he?"

"Even I'm confused" Rainbow Dash admitted "Any guy would treat his girl right."

Jeri loks at Fluttershy "You okay Fluttershy?"

"She's always like this when it comes to meeting new ponies even if it is a second time you all met" Applejack admitted.

"We're not ponies" Kazu told her.

Goldmon answered for Guilmon "Get used to it please. That's a common trend here."

"Hey it's Takuma's Digimon Goldmon!" Kento said waving to the Scorpion Digimon "How's it going."

"Fine" Goldmon said.

Jeri gets up and looks at Takato's Guilmon "Takato? Who is he?"

Takato answers "This is my Digimon Guilmon. Guilmon say hello boy."

"Hello friends of Takatomon" Guilmon spoke.

Kento looks around "So we aren't in the Digital World? Then where are we?"

"You're in Equestria" Takuma answers "A living world of ponies."

"Then where is the Digital World?" Kazu asked.

Applejack answered "You three fell for Trixie's promise."

"Trixie?" Jeri asked "As in the Great and Powerful Trixie?"

"Why yes...That's the same one we are revering too!" Rainbow Dash admits.

"More like the lame and powerless Trixie" Goldmon mutters which caused Rainbow Dash to lose her usual cool and burst out laughing uncontrollably. She would never grow tired of hearing that title from those that knew Trixie.

"She lied to you" Fluttershy told the three "She must've promised you that she'd send you to the Digital World and."

"In short sent you here" Applejack told them.

"Oh" Kazu said "So how do we get back?"

"That's tricky" Takuma said "I've been here all my life but don't have a problem with it. I don't know how to get back to Earth."

"Perhaps this Sun Goddess can" Fluttershy guessed.

Jeri looks at Rainbow Dash and Applejack "Uh, sorry for interrupting your mornings, my name is Jeri, and these are Kazu and Kento. Who are you two ponies?"

Applejack shook all three of the human's hands with her hooves introducing herself "Well how-e-doo! I'm Applejack a worker here on Sweat Apple Acres! And we're always interested in meeting new friends!"

Now while Kazu and Kento were taken by surprise at the Earth Pony shaking their hands Jeri is the only one that smiles "Pleased to meet you Applejack!"

Rainbow Dash smiles doing some fancy tricks which catches Kazu's and Kento's reaction "That's so awesome!"

After flying two loop-de-loops she flies on the ground landing expertly with the two boys clapping for the tricks she just pulled off.

"Thank you!" Rainbow Dash said "The name's Rainbow Dash. Want to see more tricks?"

"YES PLEASE RAINBOW DASH!" the three shout.

Applejack, Fluttershy, Guilmon, Goldmon Takato, Takuma look at each other as the three new human children were watching Rainbow Dash do wonderful tricks at very high speeds.

Takuma couldn't help but look at Rainbow Dash with Fluttershy watching him. She and him remembered that Kazu, Kento and Jeri's reaction was just like Takuma's when he had first met her. Still Rainbow Dash was a good pony and even a great friend.

While Rainbow Dash was entertaining the three humans, this naturally drawn attention by the rest of the Tamers, their Digimon and the rest of the main six.

"Uh-oh" Rarity spoke "Three more humans..."

Takuma turns to Twilight Sparkle "Mother Twilight...Trixie did this."

Applejack agrees "She purposely lied to these three saying that she was sending them to the Digital World."

"Then sent them here" Twilight Sparkle said understanding the problem.

"But why?" Takato asked.

Rika and Henry shot him a look? Was he that dumb to not see the plan right there. Despite this Takuma answers him "To sell the Digimon Soverign's point...That humans are invading."

"Too bad the plan backfired" Twilight Sparkle said as Spike was already writing down what Takuma reported "It's also too bad that this is another thing Trixie is doing to try to make us ponies hate humans like the Devas and their Sovereign do."

Spike finished what Applejack, Fluttershy, Takuma, Takato, Guilmon and Goldmon seen with their own eyes and heard then sent it to Princess Celestia to inform her of the new plan bright and early. That way, the Princess would be aware of this new plan and not to fall for it.

"Now what should we do Twi?" Applejack asked "I'm afraid I don't have much room in my house. Plus Rarity might not have another room with Rika living with her."

"And I am taking care of Takuma, while Henry is living with Fluttershy" Twilight adds on.

"Rainbow can't take any of them because she lives in Cloudsdale" Takuma admitted.

"I know!" Takato said "How about with Pumpkin Spice?"

Applejack looks at Takato as Rika wanted to hit him for the answer "You may have something there Takato..."

"Problem is that Pumpkin Spice has two other younger sisters" Twilight admitted "For all we know Pumpkin Spice might be able to handle one that serious around the house."

"That would be Jeri" Henry calculated "Takato's two friends Kazu and Kento are known to get riled up and be a bit well dumber then Takato."

"Great!..." Rika muttered "Idiots multiply."

Takuma turns to Pinky Pie "Well, there is only one other Pony we can count on to watch over those two."

All eyes turned to Pinky Pie. The pink earth pony's eyes widened as she got it "Hmm, Kazu and Kento stay with me? SURE! The more guest to look after, it'll be my pleasure! You know what this calls for?"

"Let me guess" Takuma spoke but Pinky Pie answers her own question "A PARTY!"

This got the Takuma and Twilight to mutter out "Saw that coming."

Pumpkin Spice, Harvest Leaf, and Christmas Gift had approached the area. Where Twilight explained to them about the situation. As Takato expected Pumpkin Spice and her two sisters agreed to take Jeri. Kento and Kazu were forced to be with Pinkie Pie but the three got a long quite well.

It was still late in the afternoon, then with the three Tamers with their Digimon gave the three new children a tour of Ponyville."

"This is so beautiful" Jeri complimented she turns to Takuma "So how long did you say you were here for?"

"About my whole life" Takuma answered her "Sense I was one."

"Long time" Kento complimented.

He watches as the Cutie Mark Crusaders were pondering what they wanted to do to gain their Cutie Marks. Now it had only been well two hours. Takuma may have met them only for probably half a day on Earth. Kento and Kazu weren't bad children just well not very bright.

They knew that the three would do anything to gain their Cutie Marks.

"So what are we going to do today girls?" Applebloom asked.

Scootaloo shrugs "I'm out of ideas for once."

"We have some!" Kazu and Kento explained causing Takuma to not know wither to be frightened of what they were about to say or to stop them at once.

The two boys's comments got the three fillies and they turned towards the two "You have some ideas?"

"Of course!" Kazu said "Find Trixie, defeat her, arrest her then bring her to this Princess Celestia! You'll be the Cutie Mark Crusader Heronines!"

"YEAH!" The three shout.

"Our try to find adventures on the way!" Kento said "Be heroes!"

Takuma face palms knowing that is exactly what the girls would do. It looks like the three were going to do it but Takuma with Goldmon on his back tear off after them.

"Where's he going?" Kento asked.

It is Rika that is trying to control her anger. Even trying hard not to punch the two boys "You two! Those were the Cutie Mark Crusaders!"

"So? They wanted their Cutie Marks and we just suggested something they could do" Kento points out.

"That's the problem!" Takato told them "Takuma out all of us knows that those girls WILL do those things and they are we'll our age. They are ponies with no real power. They could get hurt and die for it."

"Oh" Kazu said finally getting it then Kento adds on "Oh-no."

"Takuma knows that and he also knows the Cutie Mark Crusaders will do anything to earn their Cutie Marks." Rika told them she glares at the two boys "Great...Now Takuma is going to make sure they stay alive."

This was certainly on Takuma's mind. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were still far ahead of him but he was catching up with Goldmoln on his back. Applebloom stops as she hears him running over towards them "Hey, Takuma! Are you coming with us to see if we gain our Cutie Marks?"

"Well I would be there to see all three of you gain Cutie Marks" Takuma said he stopped as Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle stop alongside their friend "But I'm going to say this right now, stop what you girls are doing."

The Cutie Mark Crusaders turned towards him with Scootaloo speaking up "Why? Do you have an idea how we can gain our Cutie Marks?"

"Girls, girls, girls" Takuma told them "I'm concerned for your lives. We know Trixie is working with the enemy."

"So if we can locate her we can help you!" Sweetie Belle said with an innocent smile on her face.

Takuma looks at the two girls trying to give them Fluttershy's stare. It sort of works but it's not as effective as hers was. It does get them to quiet down to listen to the human boy "Girls, over time your Cutie Marks will appear."

Scootaloo huffs "We're too tired of hearing that over and over again. We are the only three fillies in the class that are blank flanks. We're tired of the teasing."

"Understandable" Takuma tells them "Your situation is nearly like mine when I was the only human here."

The Cutie Mark Crusaders look at Takuma blinking. He was right. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were the only ponies that he hung around with when he was well their age.

Flashback

The three girls could remember it clear as day. The very first day Takuma started school with them. Well until he came back to it with Henry, Rika and Takato. The very first day Takuma was well a bit shy at first. He was about half the size as he was now. The three remembered their days with him closely. It was the first day these the three remembered him.

"Class" Miss Cheerliee spoke to her students trying to get her students to quiet down.

After a while they did become silent. She smiled "We have a new student joining us today. You all may have met him before or seen him. But today he joins our class today."

This naturally got the fillies and colts chatting again willing to see who their new classmate was.

Cheerilee announces the name as she steps aside from the door way and Takuma walks in "Please give your new classmate Takuma Sparkle a warm welcome."

Most of the colts and fillies clapped their hooves but Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon weren't clapping.

Cheerilee lets her students cheer and clap for a while then while they were dying down. When they successfully did Cheerilee spoke "Now Takuma, where shall I sit you?"

She pauses scanning "Oh, how about right at the left of Applebloom."

Takuma gives the teacher a nod "Alright, Miss Cheerilee."

He does taking his seat besides Applebloom whom waves a cheerful hello to him.

Behind him he heard Diamond Tiara speak to Cheerilee "Miss Cheerilee what pony is he?"

Cheerilee answers her "He's not a pony Diamond Tiara. He's a human."

"Oh" Silver Spoon muttered.

While Takuma is sitting he heard Diamond Tiara whispering under her breathe "He doesn't have a tail, I bet he falls real easily with out it."

He wasn't the only one that overheard it for Applebloom heard it too and turns her head to Diamond Tiara shouting under her voice "Lay off Diamond Tiara!"

Scootaloo hears her friend saying this and so does Sweetie Belle. It doesn't take them long to understand who their friend was talking about Diamond Tiara.

Scootaloo whispers to Takuma "Don't let Diamond Tiara get to you okay?"

Takuma nods smiling at the three girls "Thank you."

The school day would continue as a normal day but both Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon picked on Takuma for being different and it really brought him down luckily the Cutie Mark Crusaders were able to help him out of it. In fact he would become close friends to the three fillies. Although it would be the first time Takuma would ever question to Twilight Sparkle why was the only human hear and why she didn't turn him to a pony.

End of Flashback

Now Takuma was about to give the three fillies his advice. The same advice as they had to him "Girls, please, your advice was helpful during my first day of school, so I'll say it again, it's okay to be different."

This got the three Cutie Mark Crusaders to look at Takuma. Goldmon agrees with him "Yeah girls! Look at me, I'm a Digimon that's a Scorpion. Most female humans from what Takato says like to well scream and try to kill scorpions but every pony here doesn't do that."

"True" Scootaloo agreed "But the three of us will be the only three that doesn't have their Cutie Marks. If we don't get them at this age will we get them when we get older?"

"You really are serious in getting those Cutie Marks" Takuma muttered "Aren't you?"

"Yes" Sweetie Belle spoke "We aren't special super heroes like you and your Tamer friends are. I mean you four have Digimon making your special talent having to deal with that."

"Super hero?" Takuma asked "What are you girls getting at?"

Scootaloo answers "Well, you and the other Tamers with your Digimon are fighting really cool battles to save Equestria. You four have no Cutie Marks mostly due to the fact that we are a different species but yet you risk your lives for Equestria. Plus you created Goldmon, so you must've known this may have been coming, so you invented him to help save us."

Takuma blinks the three fillies really did think of the Tamers as heroes. He never really thought of that. He answers the three "First of all, I didn't create Goldmon just to have him fight."

The three are silent listening to him. Takuma continues "I created Goldmon to befriend a Digimon. I had no idea that these Wild Ones and now these Devas are attacking Equestria. As for you three thinking we Tamers are heroes...We aren't."

"WHAT?" the three asked.

Goldmon agrees "Yeah. Takuma's right it's a good idea to be different after all it's what makes you three unique."

"But then" Applebloom asked Takuma "Why do you fight them then?"

Now this totally did throw Takuma off guard. Perhaps the two had a point in this so he tries to answer them "I don't know why Henry, Rika, and Takato fight for Equestria, but I know my answer. Goldmon and I fight because nopony can fight off these Wild Ones and most certainly not the Devas. I fear that if these Devas hurt any pony-" he pauses looking at the three girls "I will well never forgive myself. With Goldmon, I have the abilities to help protect everypony. We are the only ones that can fight them to protect everypony."

"Oh" Scootaloo said.

Sweetie Belle looks at her as she says "But isn't that the idea of a hero?"

Takuma leans onto his knees rubbing her head as it was her that did that to him their very first day the two they met during recess to try to cheer him up. He answers her as she smiles fondly at this it proved Takuma may have grown up a bit but he still enjoyed being friends with the three "It maybe the idea of a hero. But I'm looking at this as a job."

"Oh" Sweetie Belle said still smiling at Takuma.

Scootaloo has to admit that Takuma was right on that one. Perhaps he did look to taking care of these Wild Ones and these Devas as his job to protect Equestria "Oh okay."

He looks at the three "I want to thank you three for actually not being against me when I first arrived in school. You were my very first friends and I don't want anything to happen to you three."

"So no going after Trixie today?" Scootaloo asked.

"Please don't go after her" Takuma told the three "I don't mind you three doing what you want to do to try to gain your Cutie Marks, all I'm trying to say is it's not worth dying for."

This caught their ears Takuma had a point. Takuma adds on as well "Besides, if you did manage to find Trixie, you would need a plan to take her out...Plus we have no idea if she'll send a Deva onto you three or worse."

"Or worse what?" Applebloom asked.

"Or you could meet her boss which I'm guessing is the Deva's Sovereign. I fear that he will kill you three if you found them out."

"Oh" Applebloom said "Good point."

Takuma looks at them "Tell you what. Perhaps I could suggest things for you that are exciting but aren't that life threatening."

"You will?" Scootaloo asked.

"I will" Takuma tells the three girls.

"YEAH!" The three shout "Our friend Takuma is back!"

Takuma watches as the three jump up and down but he holds up his hand. Goldmon catches his friend looking at him and smiles back. The Scorpion Digimon holds up his claw "On one condition girls."

This stopped their cheering as Scootaloo asked "What condition?"

Takuma looks at the three "On the condition you don't go through with this idea."

The Cutie Mark Crusaders waste no time trying to decide. Besides if they went with this and Takuma was always smart even when he was going to school with them when he smart. Then again he was raised by a smart mother "Deal!"

Takuma smiles now that for the first time somepony stopped their plans. He smiles at the fillies "Now before I suggest these safe things you three could do, let's get out of here."

He takes a look around to see they were in a bog. The same bog that a Hydra had chased Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Spike and himself during the time Twilight Sparkle didn't believe in Pinkie's Pinkie senses.

Goldmon blinks as a green cloud covers them.

"Ew!" Sweetie Belle speaks out "What's that smell?"

"Smells familiar" Takuma answered "Not Timber Wolf, that's for sure."

"Those do have bad breathe!" Goldmon agreed.

Suddenly the Earth began to shake underneath their feet or hooves.

"What's this?" Applebloom asked "An Earthquake?"

Goldmon gasps gently poking Takuma with his tail. Takuma uses one eye to look at his Digimon friend and the Digimon uses his tail to point towards what he saw. Takuma turns his attention to see a giant orange five headed Hydra "Uh-no, but it's something worse."

"What could be worse?" Applebloom asked "Deva?"

"No" Takuma tells her "Not that worse but HYDRA."

The three Cutie Mark Crusaders turn to see the giant beast. The Giant beast sees the five and lets out a mighty roar.

"Run!" Takuma ordered.

At Takuma's order the group of four bolted. Just in time for the heads lunged themselves at the four missing them. Well the heads would've had four meals had they been standing there. The middle head just laughs at the others as once again the other heads had hit random objects. One hitting a bolder.

The Hydra takes off after the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Tamer and his Digimon. This puzzled Goldmon "Takuma...Shouldn't we face it? Scorpionmon can handle him!"

"I'm against killing anything that isn't a Digimon" Takuma answered his partner "Besides the three fillies need to get further ahead, plus stopping trying to dig threw my pockets to get the Digivolution Digi-Modify Card will take time...Time we might not need."

"Good point" Goldmon admitted.

For each good pace the four took the Hydra followed with two monstrous paces forward. Takuma watches as the three girls trip on a tree root with their hooves getting stuck. The group was still very far ahead of the Hydra but this would be a setback. He stops as the three slowly get up, by the looks of things the three had sprained their left rear leg. He got to them helping them up. He turns as the Hydra gets closer. By the three wincing in pain he was right. They had to sprained their left rear leg.

He looks at the Hydra building up the courage to face it to give the three time to get out of there. He looks at the three girls "Get going, get out of here as fast as you can with that sprain. Just over those rocks."

"What about you?" Scootaloo asked.

"I'm going to give you three some more time. Then I'll catch up later" Takuma told them.

The three fillies ran as fast as their sprain leg could carry them. While they were running Takuma turned facing the Hydra.

"This maybe the most stupidest thing I've ever done" Takuma told Goldmon.

"Or one out of the many stupidest things you've done" Goldmoln said.

"Fair enough" Takuma admitted.

The Hydra draws near all five heads puzzled that a small two legged creature was standing defiantly before it. Takuma takes out a piece of wood.

"You're going to use a piece of wood to attack it?" Goldmon asked.

"Hopefully I don't have to use it" Takuma whispers back "But I need something to try to distract it."

He then charges towards the Hydra. All five heads dive for Takuma as he weaves in and out of the heads, eventually even sliding under the Hydra's huge legs just as his mother had done. As he is diving he uses the wood to smack the Hydra's legs causing to fall onto it's back.

He noticed it getting up to try to chase him again. It does but he expertly weaves out of the head's attempts to well try to eat him. He spots trees getting an idea. Perhaps he could get the Hydra to stop chasing him and the Cutie Mark Crusaders if he got their heads tied around the trees. He goes for it. The Hydra again tries to attack the boy but his quick planning once more kicks in. He quickly tells Goldmon about it.

"So jump from tree branch from tree branch while you run in and out around the trees?" Goldmon asked.

"Yes" Takuma explained "We're not trying to hurt it just try to slow it down so it will take some time to try to catch up to us and-"

"Then by that time" Goldmon caught on "We would be in Ponyville."

"Exactly" Takuma said "And that beast will have to catch a different dinner."

"Alright!" Goldmon told him.

The Digimon agreed to help Takuma in his plans. This took about five minutes. Takuma ran around the area even running out into the opened field distracting it's heads. Still after five minutes the Hydra's heads were well tied up but not too hard to cause the beast major pain.

Seeing this Goldmon climbs down from the tree branches and jumps onto Takuma's back. Takuma then runs off towards the Cutie Mark Crusaders whom had been watching his movements from the rocky area. When he had got there the three shouted to him "WAY TO GO TAKUMA!"

"Thanks girls" Takuma told them "So let's go back."

"Right!" The three shout to him.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders head back to Ponyville where Applejack, and even Rarity thanked Takuma for watching over their sisters and prevent them from doing something they might not return alive from. Still Rainbow Dash had to give Takuma a warm hand shake with her hoof "Wow! You handle a Hydra! Man, you are brave, just like me!" she even rubs his head with her right hoof messing it up a bit.

"I didn't handle, handle it" Takuma told her he turns to Fluttershy explaining himself more trying to make sure she wouldn't be mad at him for hurting another creature "I just managed to buy some time trying to make sure it didn't hurt the Cutie Mark Crusaders."

"And that is okay" Fluttershy explained smiling even hugging her boyfriend "If it chased you and you needed to buy time for the Cutie Mark Crusaders to get away then it's okay. You did it to save their lives! For that" she pauses then gives him a deep passionate kiss on the lips.

She then stops pulling away from him smiling adding on "I'm proud of you. You saved the lives of your friends."

Takuma looks at her enjoying the moment she kissed him. Normally when the two kissed it was passionate but it was short.

Twilight Sparkle is smiling towards her adopted son. He had shown once again that he knew what to do in both situations.

In Hypnos, Yamaki was still in it. He was writing a letter to Princess Celestia, in it he asked her to call Twilight Sparkle and Takuma to Canterlot so the four could meet. He had so many questions he wanted to ask Twilight Sparkle, sure she was Takuma's adopted mother so she'd know many of Takuma's childhood. A childhood Takuma had without a father when he was sent there. With him was Spike the Baby Dragon. Twilight had sent him to Hypnos to tell Yamaki about what Trixie had done to three human kids.

"Can you send it to Princess Celestia?" Yamaki asked Spike.

Spike nods towards Yamaki "You bet Mr. Yamaki! The Princess will get it right away!"

The Baby Dragon breathes green fire onto the letter sending it to Princess Celestia.

End of Chapter

So a part of Takuma's past is revealed. His very first three friends were indeed the Cutie Mark Crusaders Anyway the next chapter is Chapter 27: Takuma's Childhood: Yamaki's letter gets to Princess Celestia whom agrees to let Twilight Sparkle answer Yamaki's questions about Takuma's younger years with her.
