-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the sun rose in the horizon all seemed peaceful and calm. This however was not the case for a young boy and his partner digimon who were trying to get the best of the little sleep they had gotten the last couple of nights. The boy slowly started to raise his head as he felt the heat of the sun cover the top of his head. He yawned widely and took in his surroundings. He seemed to be under a single tree in the vase dessert he was in and felt himself lucky for finding this tree what with the little shade they had come across. The boy using the tree to support him got to his feet and continued to lean against the tree to let the morning sun which was now covering him, to heat him up. The boy had long light blond hair which he covered up under a black bandana and quite pale skin and his eyes seemed to be a dark navy blue but appeared quite bloodshot in some places from his lack of sleep. He wore a black jacket which he kept unzipped and that had half a red skull on each of his jacket sides and underneath this he wore a plain black t-shirt, he also wore dark blue jeans which were extremely baggy and were ripped in some places and to top it all of he wore a plain pair of white shoes.

The boy slowly shut his eyes and thought about the last few days and what he and his partner had been through, he soon pushed those thoughts out of his mind and concentrated on what he was going to do now. 'We've been in this dessert now for four days and I'm still no closer to finding a way out of this damn place'. He frowned to himself as he thought this.

"Aiji?"

"Hmmm…?" Aiji opened his eyes again and look for the one who called his name. He then looked down at his partner whose bright blue eyes where staring at him all this time.

"Aiji?" His partner asked again.

"Nice to see you up Leormon, what did you want?" he asked his lion like partner.

"How much longer do we have to walk to the next village? All my paws are killing me in this sand!" Leormon wined to his friend.

"I honestly don't know Leormon but we have to keep on moving or we'll be stuck in this dessert forever and our few supplies are running out" Aiji took of his backpack at this and reached inside it. He pulled out his water container took a gulp and then offered it to Leormon.

Aiji sat watching his partner as he drank. Leormon was a lion like digimon who had golden fur and a white tipped tail and also a tuff of red hair on top of his head. He also wore a golden collar which had symbols on it and a bright green gem dangling of it and he had bright blue eyes. Aiji thought to himself how was it that he was so lucky to have a digimon and friend like Leormon, Aiji had never considered himself to be the friendly sort and most people didn't even want to know him, but this didn't keep him down he was used to this by now. Aiji did however have a few good friends but after a while they numbered down as each of them moved away or had to change to a different school but he didn't mind it, he found that he was fine being alone that is of course until he met Leormon.

Aiji pulled out a compass from his pocket and looked down at it. The point of the compass was pointing upwards north and that was the way he was heading hoping that it would lead him to the exit out of this dessert.

"Come on Leormon it's time to get moving, there has to be a way out somewhere and until we find it we keep on moving."

He looked down at Leormon and took back the water container and put it in his backpack. Leormon looked up at him.

"Do you think we will be out of here by nightfall? Cause I don't NOT want to spend another night in this dessert!"

"Well then it looks like we'd better get moving then" Aiji said this as he looked at the horizon and then at the destination they were to be heading.

Aiji and Leormon continued to walk for a few hours seeing no sign of life anywhere and strangely enough no digimon suddenly came across something that they were very surprised to see. There in the middle of there pathway was a payphone. Leormon curious as to what this strange thing was slowly approached it as he sniffed the air.

"Hey Aiji? What is this thing? I've never seen one before….hey maybe a digimon lives here…well a small one"

Aiji chuckled at this and patted Leormon on the head.

"It's a payphone, it's something we using in the real world to contact somebody else if they live a far or even short distance away and I pretty much doubt that a digimon would live here.

"Oh. I knew that! Hey how come I've never seen one of these when I've been with you in the real world."

"That's because I have a cell phone and I never use payphones. Mind you I guess I could start using them."

Aiji fiddled around in his pocket until he came across a couple of spare coins, he then walked into the payphone booth and looked for the slot the put his coins in. He soon found that there were no slots to put the coins in. He put his coins back into his pocket felling a little frustrated and went to open the door. Just as he was about to leave the whole booth filled with sound as a voice came out of the phone. Aiji carefully picked up the phone and answered.

"H…hello?"

"Ah hello there, Aiji I presume?"

Aiji almost dropped the phone at this 'who is this and how does he know my name, and how did he know that I would come in here?' He put the phone back to his ear determined to find out who it was trying to call him, he wanted a few answers as to why and how this person knew his name and what did he want, I mean this had to of had a purpose as to why this person had called him and somehow expected him to answer.

"Aiji please do not be startled as to why I know your name."

"Yes well…. Can you tell me who you are and how you know my name?"

"Why yes I can that is very simple. I am Gennai you may or may not of heard of me but I help to keep the digital world in balance and I if I do say so myself know almost all there is to know about what goes on in this digital world and I also know that your name is Aiji and you're the tamer of Leormon."

Aiji was surprised and impressed by what Gennai had told him. He wanted to know more about Gennai and see if he could tell him more about the digital world until he came back to his senses. He knew by now that no one is sent to the digital world without a reason.

"Alright then Gennai. Is there any reason why you are ringing me? I mean there has to be a reason for all this, it's not everyday that after walking through a dessert for days you suddenly come across a payphone right in the middle of the dessert."

"I'm afraid you're right about that Aiji. You have been sent here for a reason. You have been sent here to do a task that could help to save the digital world from a great threat that is forming even as we speak, but you won't have to fight this new threat by yourself. There are other tamers who you will have to befriend if you even hope to save the digital world. Aiji…..the digital world needs you and Leormon more then ever.

"Wait!! First of all I don't work with anyone they just hold me back and second what threat and why me and Leormon? Gennai? Gennai!!"

"I'm sorry to have to ask you to do this task. I know that this task will be hardest for you more then any of the other tamers but the digital world need's you to finds a team up with the other tamers! I can help you out of the dessert but I'm afraid from there on end your by yourself until you can contact the other tamers in the real world."

Aiji sighed. As much as he didn't like this at all he knew he had to do it. He couldn't be able to live with himself if he knew that it was he who was responsible for the destruction of the digital world all because he didn't want to work with other people, but on the plus side he could finally get out of the dessert.

"Fine then Gennai. Me and Leormon will help in anyway we can, just show us the way out of this dessert."

"Aiji I can't thank you and Leormon enough. Right then, please could you get out your compass and lie it flat on your hand."

"How did you know about……? Oh right the whole know everything in the digital world thing."

Aiji pulled out his compass and laid it flat in his hand.

"Now what?"

"This!"

Just then the compass glowed a bright blue color and his plain black compass before was replaced by and bright blue one with symbols around it.

"Cool…….."

"Your compass will now point you in any direction that you need to go, so if you just follow the point you should come up to the next village soon."

"Wow…… Thanks Gennai this is a really good extra on it now hey!" Aiji smiled at this.

"I'm sorry Aiji but I have to go now, the digital world doesn't watch out for itself…. Well not most of the time anyway, anyway good luck Aiji, lets hope that next time we talk it shall be in person, goodbye for now……….."

"Dial tone not available please, deposits 10 credits for the next 10 minutes."

Aiji put the phone down 'No dial tone…..Just like that. Well I'm sure I'll have a chance to talk to him again…….but now nothing makes since anymore, guess this must be what it's like to be a Tamer on a quest.' Aiji opened the door and walked back out to Leormon who had been sitting outside the whole time.

"So Aiji who was you talking to then?"

"Don't worry about it at the moment, I'll fill you in as we walk but one thing I can say is that the digital world needs us now more then other and as much as I hate it,…… we're gunna need help, but for now……"

Aiji held up his compass looking at the way it was pointing, directly north still 'so we have been going the right way'

"We have to get to a village and get some information about a couple of kids."
