A New Path

Author's Notes: This story contains rape and digimon deaths, so if that really
bothers you, move on, I guess. This
takes place during Episode 29, “Goliath,” if I’m not mistaken. Rika and Renamon’s story during that time of
the show was untold, so pretend this is it, heh heh.
====================
"We should stop soon."
Rika glared straight ahead as she and her partner walked through the wispy clouds, past giant cogs and wheels that served no apparent purpose. Renamon focused on her irate companion while keeping on full alert for any more digimon who may be looking for trouble. Night in the Digital World was a dangerous place, and they didn't need to be surprised by some rogue digimon. Renamon was already pissed that she underestimated Megadramon. She would have to try harder to protect them both.
"There's a sign up ahead."
Again there was no response from the girl. It was tough for both of them, to have been rescued by that boy and his Cyberdramon. Rika seemed especially annoyed. He was apparently someone who had beaten her in a digimon contest. It must have been a long time ago, but the girl sure hadn't forgotten. They continued to walk onward in silence.
The signpost turned out to mark a freight elevator in the cloud floor, one single button serving as the control. Rika looked around the dark cloudscape and turned to her partner, asking her a silent question.
"It's up to you, Rika. There's no way to know where this links to until we take it."
Rika looked back the way they had come, the light from the boys' campfire no longer visible in the distance.
"Let's go," she replied, stepping onto the metallic platform. Renamon silently followed, standing close to her partner as she pushed the red button. Instantly, the elevator began dropping, a bit faster than they had expected. The two rapidly descended into pitch darkness, uncertain of their destination and of their decision.
A large gear wobbled as a perched figure leapt off the top and swooped downward into the dark shaft.
=====
The darkness gave way to moonlight as the metal platform descended over a large forest from a hole in a passing cloud. Rika clung to Renamon for support as the elevator plummeted downward, the green trees below growing closer at an alarming rate. Without warning, the platform flipped out from under their feet and launched back upward, leaving digimon and tamer tumbling to the ground below.
They landed with thuds in a small clearing by a stream, cards and digivice flying everywhere. Renamon moaned and stood, her thoughts immediately on her partner's well being.
"Damn it," Rika muttered as she sat up, glaring at her cards that had escaped from her belt.
"Are you okay?" Renamon asked.
"Everything's just perfect," Rika sarcastically replied, beginning to collect and sort her cards. Renamon spotted the blue digivice in a tuft of grass and picked it up, bringing it to the girl.
"Don't forget this."
Rika took the blue instrument and clipped it onto her belt.
"Where are we, Renamon?"
Renamon inhaled the cool forest air and stepped away from Rika, heading past a few trees to where a small river was flowing through a rocky channel. Her tamer followed her down to the water's edge and scooped up a handful of the cold liquid.
"It's difficult to say," the fox began. "We could be in any of countless pocket dimensions in the Digital World. We should rest until daylight."
Rika nodded her agreement and followed Renamon to where she sat under a large tree. The girl sat at her digimon's side, looking up through the branches at the distant stars and Earth Globe.
Renamon chose not to mention the faint scent she had picked up on their arrival. It probably belonged to something else, or was perhaps just a memory brought on by the forest setting. Whatever it was, there was no point in mentioning it just yet.
Rika snuggled into the yellow fox's side, hugging her for warmth in the cool forest. Renamon's tail wrapped around the girl's body to protect her in the soft fur. Without another word, the two girls drifted off to sleep.
=====
Renamon was the first to awaken as the light of day began to shine through the treetops. Rika still clung to her side, undisturbed by Renamon's awakening. The fox softly stroked her red hair and whispered her name into her ear, causing the girl to begin to stir.
Rika yawned and sat up, reorienting herself with the forest's daylight appearance. She went down to the river and took another sip from the flowing water. The girl inhaled deeply as a delicious aroma filled her, coming from upstream somewhere. Renamon detected it too.
"Mmm, what is that smell?" Rika asked aloud.
"It is nothing. We should move on."
"It smells delicious, whatever it is. I want to check it out."
"Rika..."
The girl began to make her way up the riverbank. Renamon sighed and followed.
The scent gradually grew stronger, leading Rika to cut through the forest, curious about what she might find. Over rocks and fallen trees she continued on until at last emerging in an open field.
"W-what?"
Two large stone tigers stood facing each other, standing watch over a tall open gate in a wall. Through the gateway stood a beautiful Japanese temple, with outlying buildings not unlike her own home. But what fascinated Rika the most was the activity in the courtyard.
Several pale blue wolf digimon were sparring with each other, trading high kicks and chops with their partners as the others blocked and countered. There were a few gray Gazimon among them as well, fighting evenly with their larger peers. Most importantly to Rika, there were quite a few Renamon of varying sizes and color shades.
She focused on one Renamon as it laid out another with a swift kick to her stomach. Elsewhere, a young Renamon, not even Rika's height, put down a Gazimon, who quickly stood once more and met her bow.
"Renamon," Rika said, not taking her eyes from the training ground as her partner appeared behind her. "What is this place?"
"I never wanted to come back here. This...is the dojo where I grew up. We should leave before we are spotted."
"This is...awesome," Rika whispered, still captivated by the training digimon.
"Come on, Rika."
"Leaving so soon?" came a cocky, young male voice. Renamon closed her eyes.
One of the wolf types, this one a beautiful cerulean, dropped down from a tree behind the visitors. He stood tall and bowed to the guests.
"Sensei knew you were coming," he said, flashing Renamon a smile.
"We aren't staying, Strabaris," Renamon replied.
"Come on, Rena-sama, the others would love to see you. At least visit Sensei. He still talks about his best student all the time. He's waiting for you inside."
Renamon gritted her teeth and nodded.
"Ah, where are my manners? Who's this pretty young lady," Strabaris asked, focusing his attention on the girl.
"This is my partner, Rika."
"It is a great honor to meet a girl as beautiful as you. I'm Strabaris," he introduced himself, kissing Rika's hand. Rika rolled her eyes as soon as he turned back to Renamon.
"It looks like you found what you were searching for," he continued, smiling at the fox. "Come along."
Strabaris lead the way through the gate and into the courtyard, the two partners lagging behind for a bit.
"I can see why you wanted to stay away," Rika whispered to Renamon. "I would too if I had to deal with this joker. Why's he so concerned about what you do anyhow?"
Renamon began walking into the courtyard after the Strabimon.
"Because he's my mate."
"Wh-what?" Rika asked with shock, then ran to catch up with them.
As the three walked though the training yard, every Strabimon, Renamon, and Gazimon turned to bow to their estranged companion as they saw her for the first time in two years. The blue Strabimon lead Rika and Renamon up the steps of the old temple and in toward the main chamber. Light danced on the walls from the countless flickering candles as the group approached an elderly Strabimon kneeling on a pedestal in the center of the room.
"Strabi-sensei," Strabaris bowed. "Renamon and her human partner Rika have arrived."
Renamon bowed as well, followed by a nervous Rika.
"I know," the old wolf replied with a soft, deep voice. "You may go, Strabaris."
"Yes, Sensei," he said, bowing once more before silently slinking out the door.
The three remained in silence for a minute, causing Rika to shift uneasily. She noticed that Strabi-sensei's eyes were white in contrast with the red of the other Strabimon. Maybe that means he's-
"Yes, I am blind," the old man spoke, startling Rika from her thoughts.
"Oh, I-I didn't..."
"My eyes may be dead, but I still see."
"Ah...right," Rika replied, looking to Renamon for help.
"Sensei, is there something you wish from me?"
"Tell me about your life."
"My life... I found Rika, and here I am."
"You've digivolved. To ultimate."
"Yes, with Rika's help, I was able to achieve much more of my potential."
"I am glad. You have impressed me yet again with your resourcefulness and dedication. It is good to see you, Renamon."
"It is good to see you too, Sensei. But Rika and I must be going. There are more important things to attend to."
Renamon bowed to her former mentor and began to head for the temple door, followed by her partner.
"The warriors of the Sovereign are of no immediate concern. There is a more pertinent evil in the shadows of this very forest."
Renamon paused at the door. Rika turned back to the motionless elder.
"What sort of evil?" Rika asked.
"A malicious entity is on your heel. I could feel its dark presence as you entered this realm."
"You mean someone's following us?"
"Rika and I can handle it," Renamon chimed in.
"Perhaps so. Perhaps," the aged Strabimon acknowledged. "But why not stay for a meal? To build up your strength? The human mind is not accustomed to starvation."
Renamon turned from the door to meet her tamer's eyes.
=====
"This is seriously the best soup I've ever tasted!"
Rika slurped up the remains of the stew that had first lured her to the dojo. Renamon, kneeling, watched in silence from the opposite side of the short table. A lighter-furred Renamon in a kimono offered the girl more soup, which she happily accepted.
"Thank you," Rika bowed.
Renamon watched her hungrily begin on her second bowl, using her chopsticks to rapidly shovel udon into her mouth. The fox hadn't realized how hungry the girl had gotten, even though her body, converted to data for the Digital World, no longer required any nourishment. It was too easy to take simple things for granted.
Her former teacher's words weighed on her mind. Some sort of evil digimon was following them. Hunting them. For how long? For what purpose? Whatever it was, she would be ready for it. Together they would defeat that danger like so many digimon before it.
"Rena-sama!"
The two kneeling females looked up at the doorway as Strabaris and one of the Gazimon entered the room. Renamon sighed loudly, and Strabaris strolled over and knelt at the table by her side. The Gazimon took the spot next to Rika.
"So how are my two favorite girls?" Strabaris asked, flashing his trademark grin.
"We were fine, until you came," Renamon quickly replied.
"Same old Renamon," the Gazimon laughed.
"So, you guys are old friends, huh?" Rika asked.
"Yup. My name is Gaz," the Gazimon said, introducing himself to the girl. "I used to do a lot of training with Rena-sama, back before she took off."
"And you lost every fight," Renamon responded.
"Hey, you were almost unbeatable," Gaz defended himself. "Only Strabaris could take you and hope to win."
"Strabaris seemed so pathetic, I had to let him win. A guy has to have some pride..."
"Hey, I beat you on my own!" the Strabimon countered. "You were too busy swooning over my sculpted physique and roguish charm."
"If so, it's because you don't have anything else worth swooning over."
Rika listened in wonder as her partner exchanged banter with her old friends in a way she had never heard her speak before. She realized they must have been closer than she thought, and began to wonder why Renamon had left.
"I can still take you on any day," Strabaris laughed.
"Bring it then, if you've got the balls," she replied with a grin.
"You're on, Rena-sama. To the roof, unless you don't want to fall that far."
"My only fear is that you might slip when you're pissing your pants."
Strabaris and Renamon stood and left the room, both ignoring the two remaining individuals. Gaz and Rika looked at each other with a shrug.
"I've never seen her like that before," Rika confessed to the Gazimon.
"They have an odd chemistry, those two. Whatever it is, it works for them."
"So why did Renamon leave the dojo, anyway? Especially with Strabaris here."
"Renamon just grew impatient with our lifestyle. She believed our path wasn't leading to digivolution, so she set out to find her own. Maybe she was right. I don't know. It worked for her."
"I see."
"One morning, she just announced she was leaving. Strabaris tried to follow, but she refused his accompaniment. She said she needed to find her way alone. That was two years ago, and none of us have seen her again until today."
"Wow. They must have missed each other quite a bit."
"Yeah, no doubt. Say, would you like a tour of the grounds, since Renamon is away?"
"Sure, I'd like that."
Rika and Gaz stood and headed for the doorway. The digimon slid the door open, holding it for the girl as they made their way outside.
=====
The Yanmamon shrieked as Devimon bit down on its head,
sending its data scattering like a fallen bag of marbles. He chuckled to himself at the creature's
pain, licking his thin lips with his long tongue. The forest was quite a change from
Devimon glared at the roof of the temple from his vantage point in a taller portion of the woods. If it weren't for that infernal sanctuary, he would have already butchered the fox and digivolved to Mega. But the bitch wanted to make things more difficult. He sighed. This would require a little more care...
His head perked as the fox hopped up onto the roof, as if on cue. He licked his sharp claws and spread his great wings... Then another figure appeared. One of the dojo students, no doubt. Devimon settled back into his perch. The bitch will die sooner or later. Then his dreams would be fulfilled.
Somewhere below, a Floramon was taking a stroll. The fox would have to wait, but in the meantime, there were plenty of other creatures whose data he could spill. He laughed and swooped down into the forest.
=====
Renamon bowed to Strabaris and cleared her mind of all excess thoughts, save for her opponent and the layout of the roof. She knew just how big the flat surface was in the center of the building, and knew just where the steep slope began. She readied herself to block, knowing Strabaris often took the initiative in an attempt to surprise and wear out his adversary. Sure enough, he immediately dashed out at her, quickly clearing the space between them and striking with a heavy slash. Renamon hopped back, narrowly avoiding his claw and blocking his foot as it came spinning around. She pushed on his leg, making him roll backward away from her. As soon as he stood, she was on him with a swift, hard punch to the right shoulder. Strabaris' left foot raised upward into her side, making her yelp as she fell over and began tumbling down the steep slope of the roof.
Strabaris watched her as she caught onto the final row of tiles, hanging over the edge. He slid down the roof toward her to give her a hand, but she instantly flipped up backward, her feet meeting Strabaris hard in the chest and knocking him back, causing him to slide and take her place at the edge of the roof.
The Strabimon growled as Renamon dashed back up to the peak of the building. Without pause Strabaris hopped up and sped toward her, surprising her with a strike in the small of her back. Renamon spun around and was tackled, landing hard on the roof with the growling Strabaris pinning her limbs down. Renamon growled in response, struggling to free herself from his claws to no avail. She dug her teeth into his right shoulder, breaking her hand free from his as he recoiled. Her left hand also ripped out from his weakened grip and both paws grabbed his furry sides, applying pressure to his skin with her nails. Strabaris grabbed her shoulders and licked her snarling face.
The yellow fox's legs wrapped around the blue wolf as her hands moved down to his belt buckle. Strabaris continued licking her as she freed his large cock and shoved his pants downward, scraping them off with her legs. Renamon dug her claws into the skin of his back as he pushed his hard wolf dick through the soft velvet fur between her legs. It had been so long since she had felt his warmth penetrating her tight canal. Way too long. Her body squeezed onto him as he slid in and out of her furry crotch, her tail rising up between her legs and twitching with each powerful thrust.
His claws scratched the skin of her shoulders as he pressed his hips to hers, over and over, their heat rising, engulfing their bodies with unimaginable fire. Renamon growled and snapped at him, biting him softly as her hormones took full control.
Strabaris groaned and howled as he pounded on his love for the first time in years. He hadn't realized just how much he had missed this--missed her--until now. He focused on pleasing her, maneuvering his rod through her wet interior just the way she liked it.
Renamon licked her lover's face as he burrowed into her, stroking her in ways only Strabaris knew how. She had to admit that she missed this--missed him--quite a bit over the past years. She wanted it to last, to make up for lost time, but he was making her come faster than she had planned.
Her sweaty paws dampened the fur of his back as the grabbed and groped him, clinging desperately as her ecstasy grew. She cried out now with every thrust, her blissful moans carrying out over the forest, her body just about ready to collapse.
Strabaris howled and tightened his iron grip on her shoulders as his dick blinded him with joy, unleashing the cum that had lusted for Renamon for two long years. He unloaded his semen into her desperate chasm as she gasped and clawed at his back, new markings joining the scars from so many times before. Renamon cried out with bliss as her body rocked with pleasure, every jolt shaking her with unbridled ecstasy. She basked in the sweet fluid her body had craved for so long, until at last, their orgasms began to fade.
Strabaris and Renamon stayed cuddled together, locked at the waist, as they licked each other lovingly, enchanted by their long awaited reunion.
=====
Rika dipped her feet into the communal hot tub, letting the heat soak in before submerging herself completely. A young Renamon watched her, studying the unfamiliar anatomy of the naked human girl as her furless body dipped in from across the pool. Rika shifted nervously from the attention and tried to ignore the bathing fox.
"How is it, Rika?" asked Gaz from behind the wall of the men's tub.
"Uh... fine," she responded awkwardly from the sudden reminder of a guy in the room. She silently cursed herself for being nervous around a guy who's not even the same species. He didn't care if she was naked or not. He was naked all the time.
"That's good," Gaz replied. "Relax, though."
Rika blushed and closed her eyes, trying to let her worries and fears dissipate into the hot water. After a minute, the Renamon stood and nodded to the girl.
"Good night," the young Renamon spoke. Rika watched the water dripping down off of her body, running around her curves and through her fur. The fox carefully wrung out her tail and stepped out of the tub.
"G-Good night," Rika finally replied as the fox retrieved her arm guards from a shelf on the wall next to her own folded clothes, and left the room. Rika shook her head and closed her eyes, wondering where her own Renamon had gotten off to. Her "battle" with her mate must have turned into something...more. She smiled to herself, happy to know that her partner was happy. Rika's mind's eye saw them together, Renamon's furry muscled body squirming with Strabaris' efforts. That must be so-
"Rika," Gaz said, standing behind her, facing away to protect her human modesty. Rika jumped, suddenly broken out of her perverted thoughts.
"What is it?" she asked, looking up at the Gazimon's furry backside.
"I have to step out for a bit. Is it all right if I leave you here alone for a while. I'll only be a few minutes."
"Uh, yeah, sure."
"Thanks. Don't go anywhere."
Rika watched the furry, wet rabbit as he walked off, his long, thin tail waving back and forth at her. She never realized how cute Gazimon were. It might be nice to-
Rika cringed, shoving away her thoughts of Gazimon cuddling.
"This is getting out of hand..."
=====
From a tall tree, Devimon watched the wolf and the fox going at it once more on the roof of the big temple. This was the third time already. He sighed and began sharpening his teeth. It wasn't that he couldn't take out both of them. Far from it. But before he could finish them off, he would likely have the whole school on his back, and then his chance would be blown. This would require stealth.
"Hold on... What's this?"
Devimon watched as a lone Gazimon left the bathhouse. If he had counted correctly, the human would be alone now. He looked back at the occupied fox. Maybe he wouldn't have to deal with her bitch after all...
Time to investigate...
=====
Rika sat on the edge of the tub, water droplets tracing the contours of her body to the tile below. She leaned back and peeked around the dividing wall, making sure the men's side was empty and that she was indeed alone. Her fingers began to lightly trace her body, tickling her inner thigh with one hand and caressing a tense nipple with the other. All other thoughts drifted slowly away as her hand started stroking her private opening...
=====
A young Strabimon drew water from an old-fashioned pump near the bathhouse, filling a wooden bucket with the cool, clear liquid. He removed the now heavy container from beneath the faucet and began to lug it back toward the kitchen. From the interior of the old back house, a soft, feminine moan caught his ear, piquing his curiosity. It didn't sound like a Renamon...
Looking around the empty compound, he set down the bucket and began creeping toward the doorway. Maybe it was the human girl? He cautiously approached the entrance, each soft moan luring him nearer and nearer. Behind him, the bucket cracked and splintered, soaking the heels of his feet as the water spread out into a puddle.
"Huh?" he murmured, spinning around to discover what had happened. All he saw was an evil grin as two large hands grabbed his body and crushed it like an aluminum can, data fragments spraying everywhere like a shaken beer.
=====
Alone in his meditation chamber, the elderly Strabimon suddenly opened his eyes.
"It is here! The evil has come!"
=====
Rika's breath escaped heavily as the first two fingers of her right hand slid in and out from between her legs. She imagined the soft furry body of the Gazimon pressed onto her, his silky hairs tickling her stomach and chest as the rabbit brushed up and down against her. It would be so soft, and would feel so good...
With her mind elsewhere, she completely failed to notice the dark winged figure as he joined her in the bathhouse...
=====
Strabaris howled as he pumped his load into the lovely yellow fox from behind, his nails leaving marks on her skin beneath the fur of her chest. Renamon's body rocked on all fours as a thunderous clash struck her once again, her body juices sliding down the wolf's slippery saber and into his white fur.
The Strabimon pulled out, allowing Renamon to collapse onto her stomach, her love wounds stinging as she caught her breath. Almost immediately, she caught something else too.
"Something's wrong," she said, suddenly worried.
"There's a malicious digimon nearby," Strabaris agreed.
"Rika!" Renamon gasped, and they both vanished in their trademark style.
=====
Devimon grinned as he watched the naked human girl, her back to him, pleasing herself at the tub's edge. She was completely oblivious to his presence, lost in her own little world. This was just way too perfect. He slid closer to her and raised his right hand, claws glistening.
"Hey!" came a sudden voice from behind him. Devimon spun around, seeing that the Gazimon had returned. Rika jumped and quickly removed her hand.
"What the hell are you doing here," the Gazimon growled at the intruder.
"Just passing through," he replied, turning back to the girl.
Rika scrambled up out of the tub and Devimon instantly caught her, easily lifting her by the waist with one hand. Renamon appeared in the doorway behind Gaz, followed by the pants-less Strabaris.
"Renamon!" Rika yelled as a dark energy began forming around her and her captor.
"Consider your human dead," Devimon announced to the angry fox, black energy swirling around his body. "Cut your losses and move on."
Renamon leapt toward the demon's laughing form as it slid backward into the darkness, taking the girl with him. The portal faded and she desperately looked around the empty room, mocked by the echoes of Devimon's laugh.
"Rika!" Renamon yelled in anguish to her lost partner.
"I'll assemble some search teams," Gaz said. "We'll find her, Rena-sama."
Gaz took off out the door, leaving Renamon and Strabaris alone. The wolf walked over to her still form and held her shoulder.
"I can't sense her. It's like she's no longer in this world."
"That is correct," Sensei said, hobbling into the room with a light blue cane. "Devimon has fled to his own personal pocket dimension. Only he can open it from this plain."
"Then... I can't get to her..."
=====
The naked girl huddled in a corner of the black stone cave as Devimon chuckled to himself over the image of Renamon through the entry portal. He willed the doorway away with a dramatic swish of his claw, and it instantly collapsed, leaving the two alone in the dimly-lit room.
"Another freaking Devimon? You've got to be kidding me."
Devimon's face registered mild surprise.
"Oh, you've met my kind before?" Devimon asked. "How interesting."
"Renamon will come for me and delete your sorry ass faster than you can piss your pants in fear."
"Cute. So your Renamon deleted my brethren with ease then?"
Rika paused, recalling Kyubimon's failure against IceDevimon. It was Guilmon of all people who had had to rescue them.
"Your hesitation speaks volumes," Devimon smirked. "In any case, your partner cannot reach my quaint little home here. I almost wish she could though, so I could delete your precious little bitch before your very eyes."
"Fuck you."
"Maybe I will slay her anyway, for the hell of it. Regretfully," he added, advancing toward the girl," you won't be alive to watch...
=====
"So it's helpless then?" Renamon glowered. "I just have to sit back and let Rika die?"
"Rena-sama..."
"Nothing is ever hopeless," Strabi-sensei replied. "To be without hope is to be without life."
"What the hell can I do then?" Renamon yelled, surprising Strabaris with her uncharacteristic outburst. Renamon took a breath and resumed her calm demeanor. "I-I don't know what to do."
"Two years ago, when faced with the prospect of never digivolving, you set out and found your own path. You have digivolved, despite the circumstances of your given situation."
Renamon picked up Rika's clothes from the shelf, clutching them tightly and holding her partner's shirt to her nose, absorbing her best friend's scent.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Renamon asked, becoming irritated by her teacher's elusive messages.
"It is time, once more, to find your own path."
=====
"Get away from me, you lanky freak! What do you want from me?"
Devimon paused, surprised by her question.
"What do you think? I want to digivolve! Straight to mega. And to do that, of course, I will need your data."
"What? Why?"
"Don't play stupid. Everyone knows that loading the data of a human triggers the ultimate digivolution!"
"What? Where did you hear that crap?"
"It's... It's common knowledge!"
"And do you know someone who has digivolved by loading a human?"
"I..." Devimon shifted uncomfortably, then with a look of realization, grinned evilly. "Clever girl. You can't trick me! I'm not falling for your games. How stupid do you think I am?"
"Do you want a real answer?"
"Grr! I shall enjoy ripping you to pieces!" he growled, grabbing her naked body, and slamming her against the cave wall. "But first..." he trailed off, studying her bare body and stroking her thigh with his nail...
=====
"My own path? Is that your best help?"
Strabi-sensei remained silent as Renamon took another whiff of Rika's scent form the clothes cradled in her arms. Strabaris hugged her, trying to do what he could to comfort his love. His arm inadvertently knocked the D-Power from Rika's belt and sent it clattering to the floor.
Strabaris stepped back as Renamon bent down to pick up the blue digivice. As she lifted the item, she paused, staring at the object in her palm.
"Yes..." Strabi-sensei spoke. "The bond you share isn't so easily broken."
"Rika's D-Power?"
"Ah, but as I understand it, the D-Power belongs to both of you...partners...friends...equals."
Renamon turned the object over in her hand.
"What was it that Rika..." Renamon murmured to herself, hitting a button. Renamon recoiled as a holographic image of a laughing Devimon appeared over the screen.
=====
"Let go of me, you pointy-headed creep!"
Rika struggled in Devimon's left hand as he used the other to undo his belt straps. Devimon laughed at her terror as a long white dick, larger than any human's, was revealed. He giggled insanely as he lowered her body down, bringing her face to meet his exposed rod. Rika tried to pull away, but he grabbed her head and brought it down onto his spear, forcing the thick rod into the back of her mouth.
The girl grabbed it with her hands in a futile effort to pull it out, but she could not move Devimon even a fraction of a centimeter. She bit down, hard, but without effect on the thick, white flesh. Devimon showed no sign of pain, grinning at the girl with a lustful smile.
"Go ahead and fight back," he taunted her. "I love it!"
Rika gagged as Devimon pulled her closer, clogging her windpipe with his head. The girl began to turn red as she struggled to breathe, desperately pulling on his dick to extract it from her throat. Devimon laughed with malicious ecstasy, enjoying the sight of the girl fighting for air and the inadvertent stimulation she was producing from the resulting handjob.
Devimon suddenly relaxed his grip, letting her pull away just as jets of grayish semen gushed out of the end of his staff and onto the girl's departing body as it gasped for breath. The gray fluid splashed all over her hair, face, and chest, mingling with her falling tears. He completely let go of the girl, her body collapsing to the floor, then kicked her into the corner with his foot.
"I... I'll... kill you..." she vowed through heavy breath.
=====
Renamon glared at the D-Power screen with a deep hatred for the despicable Devimon.
"You have the digivice, now you must use it!"
Renamon looked up at Strabi-sensei and nodded. She set down Rika's clothes and withdrew a single card from her belt. Strabi-sensei nodded in response.
"Go for it," Strabaris urged.
Renamon raised the card in her hand and held out the D-Power.
"Um... Digi... Modify!"
=====
"Hmm..." the Devimon pondered aloud. "Should I load your data now? Or should I keep you around longer? You were quite marvelous after all. So strong... so beautiful... so delicious."
"Fuck you," Rika spat, desperately wiping off globs of Devimon's fluid and slinging it onto the cave floor.
"Sounds like a plan!" he yelled and dove at the surprised girl.
Rika's eyes widened with shock from his sudden lunge, and sped like a flash out from under him. He yelled and crashed into the corner of the room, smacking his head on the stone wall.
"The hell?" Rika said, surprised by her sudden burst of speed.
Devimon pulled his horns out of the rock wall and studied her curiously.
=====
Renamon smiled. It seemed she was not helpless after all. She quickly pulled another card from Rika's belt.
"Digi-Modify! Meramon's Flame Activate!"
=====
Devimon dusted himself off, glaring at the girl. He suddenly reached out with extended arms and grabbed her from clear across the room, reeling her in.
"I don't know what you think you're doing, but if you defy me again, I will not only slaughter your pet bitch, but the entire dojo as well!"
He punctuated his sentence by slamming Rika down onto his stiff rod, pushing as deep as he could. Rika cried out from the pain of her first male intrusion, unheard through his wild laughter. He rapidly lifted her and pushed her down again, savoring the glorious blaze of pleasure on his long hot branding iron. The fires of Devimon's hormones burned brighter than before with the feel of her hot, hot body clamped snugly warm around his grilling sausage. Devimon stopped and blinked.
"Wha- Yeowch!"
Rika's body erupted into flame, like a Meramon in full battle. Devimon screamed shrilly as he struggled to lift the molten girl off of his broiling dick. He managed at last to drop her to her feet, using his hands to fan his smoldering rod. The girl laughed with glee, inspecting her flaming body. She then quickly grabbed the terror-stricken Devimon by the nuts, squeezing and pulling as she gave him his second blow job of the evening. The demon howled in pain and shoved her away, fleeing to the opposite corner of the cave.
Rika's fire slowly extinguished and she stepped back against the wall, no longer protected by the mysterious flame shield.
"Renamon," she whispered. "Thank you..."
"You little BITCH!" Devimon yelled, still fanning his crotch. "I think you've outlived your usefulness! Prepare to be deleted!"
=====
"Hurry, Rena-sama," Strabaris urged her, seeing the Devimon on the holographic screed advancing with extended claws.
"Uh... maybe the Gargomon?" she said, fingering the familiar digimon card. "Digi-Modify! Gargomon's Gargo Laser Activate!"
=====
Data swirled around Rika's arms, and two gray cannons materialized around them, giving Devimon reason to pause. With a click, she aimed her arms at the demon's head.
The evil creature glowered unblinking at the girl, trying his best to suppress his pain and apprehension. This was not going as planned. Perhaps he had been a little overconfident.
"I don't know how you're doing that, but it's about time this circus act came to an end. You won't leave here alive. I know it. You know it. Why don't you just-"
The gun barrels rattled, spreading green laser bolts at the monster. Devimon dove to the side, energy piercing the skin of his left wing. He sprung at the naked girl, hoping to take her with speed, but ended up with nothing more than a smack upside the head with a heavy metal cannon.
"Not so tough now, are you?" Rika asked, sprouting the white hyperwings that Guilmon had used so many times before. She rose into the air, glaring down at the wounded monster as he dizzily stood. "Let this be a lesson to you: Nobody fucks with me or my friends."
Devimon looked up at the winged girl, laughing evilly despite his wounds.
"Your...clown antics...won't save you... Touch of Evil!"
Devimon's arms, swirling with dark energy, lunged out at the girl, who swiftly swooped away, leaving the claws to crash uselessly into the cave ceiling. Devimon hissed and swung around.
"Touch of Evil!"
Rika grinned as her cannons remolded into two long blades, hanging off her arms like scythes. She swung them at Devimon's approaching hands, data scattering in their wake. Devimon roared in shock and fear, retracting his barren arms as the cave's entry portal began to open behind him.
"Going somewhere?" Rika asked, setting foot on the ground as her wings faded. "I don't think so. Twin Sickle!"
Her arms slashed through the air, sending two sharp blades of energy toward Devimon's body, intersecting with the remains of his left arm and with his crotch, as the data from the truncated parts evaporated. Rika's blades dissolved as she walked over to her former captor, smiling as a familiar warm energy filled her spirit. Devimon closed his eyes as the naked girl leapt up into the air, pulling her limbs tight against her body.
"Diamond...Storm!"
As she stretched out her arms and legs, glowing energy hailed down from the girl and Devimon's body broke apart, leaving no trace of the villain. Without pause, Rika ran through the gateway and into Renamon's arms as the digivice and Renamon card dropped to the ground.
The fox held the naked girl tightly, tears soaking the fur of her chest. The two Strabimon nodded to each other and left the bathhouse, calling off the search efforts.
Rika and Renamon held each other for the longest time, silent save for the girl's occasional sob, until at last Rika pulled away.
"I thought I had lost you," Renamon told her, stroking her lovely red hair.
"You'll never lose me," Rika said with a smile, picking up her panties to dress. "Nothing can beat the two of us, I'm sure of it. Thank you," she added, kissing the fox on the cheek, "for being my best friend."
=====
The two partners stood outside the gate as Strabaris, Gaz, and Strabi-sensei saw them off.
"Goodbye, Rena-sama," Strabaris said to his mate for the second time.
"I wish we could stay longer, but we are on a mission."
"I understand," he acknowledged, smiling at her. "Come back again sometime. I'll always be waiting."
Renamon nodded and smiled back.
"I hope to see you again someday, Rika," Gaz said. "It was a great honor to meet such a strong girl like you. You and Renamon are a perfect match."
"Thanks, Gaz," she replied, smiling warmly at her best friend by her side. "We'll be sure to visit again. That's a promise."
"Take care of each other," Strabi-sensei spoke. "You two have an impressive bond, stronger than any I've known. You'll definitely need it for the coming battles."
"Goodbye Sensei," Renamon replied, bowing to her teacher.
With a final bow, the two partners said their final good-byes, left the dojo, and set out once more into the forest.
=====
Rika and Renamon walked on in silence by the water's edge, following the course of the river in hopes of finding a path back to the desert plane. Rika's mind dwelt on recent events; exploring Renamon's old home, meeting her old friends, her abduction and rape, killing Devimon... She wondered what would have happened if he had succeeded in killing her and loading her data. Was there any truth to his notion of human data causing digivolution?
She shook the thought from her mind, trying to banish Devimon from her memory. It didn't matter.
"We should turn here," Renamon spoke, pointing toward a side path through the trees. Rika nodded in response and began heading down the new path. All that mattered now was her friends, both old and new, and her greatest friend of all, Renamon.
