Chapter 13
They were stopping for the night. He was still a BladeJagarmon. He was enjoying the feel of the wind moving on his skin. He also didn't mind that Davis and most of the packs were on him back. He barely felt the weight. 'I could get use to this, but I miss my hands. Once we're safe I'll go back to being KageVeemon. I wonder what if Davis wouldn't mind letting me Armor Digivolve back into BladeJagarmon once we make it back to his world?' He just grins at the thought of running carefree across the fields.
"You look quiet deathly as a BladeJagarmon. Maybe we could spar after we set up the lab?" Puck asks. He grins, "Don't see why not. I'd like to get to know how to fight better like this. I think, for now, this is my favorite form so far." "I think Veemon likes being Flamedramon. Or maybe it's just me, who like that form." They turn to look at Davis. They couldn't see his face under the hood, but they could guess that he was looking off into space. "Might be a good idea to ask him later. Right now, I really like this form. I wonder just what my champion form is like." Puck asks, "You don't know?" He shook his head. "It rarely happens. I've heard that some have Digivolve into Strikedramon. There's not many KageVeemon that really care about Digivolving. So, any real information about the line of Digivolving is kind lost. With Davis to help out, I might Digivolve into my champion form. We'll just have to wait and see." Puck nods and Davis just turns toward the fire that Cassandra and Dash were making.
He gets close and then just lies down. He just lets Davis and Puck take off the packs. As he watches the others work, he takes a nap.

He watches as Kage takes a nap. He just grins. Davis and Puck unpack some of pots and pans. He took off his gloves. "Hey Dash. Could I maybe try to make stew, tonight?" Davis asks him. "Don't see why not. You know how to make stew?" "I learn how to from Takato. Takato did quiet a bit of cooking. I helped make a cake and stew. I'm willing to give it a try, though." Cass asks, "Dash and I will go look for more firewood. Puck, could you look for some eatable roots?" Puck nods and begins sniffing around.
Cass and him leave Davis, Kage, and Puck by the fire. The suns setting, they made it as far as they could go, but still see the camp. "So, what is it that you wanted to talk about?" He asks with a small grin. "Is it so bad to want to be alone with you, Dash?" She asks softly. "No, I think it might be a good time as any. I wonder if we should tell them about us." She looks at the setting sun. He was fascinated with how the light of the sun makes her armor light up. "I don't think we need to worry them about the two of us. Maybe once the lab is up and running, yes then we'll tell them." He nods and moves to her right side. They stand there, just watching the sun for a few minutes. Then they look at each other and they move in closer. The kiss was a quick one. They have never kissed anybody before, so the whole idea was a new one. They both begin to look for things to use as firewood.
Soon they have an arm full each and they head back to the camp. They find Davis with a knife cutting up washed roots and some dry vegetables. They find Puck napping by Kage's side. He just kind of smiles at the two. He never knew how the two meet, but he did enjoy working with them, even if Puck was a little too much into battling. He sometimes forgot how well they worked together. Davis was finishing up with his one root and adds it to the pot. "So, I've been meaning to ask you guy something. Just what Digimon did you guys start off as?" Davis asks as he begins to cut up another root.
Cass and him look at each other. "I thought that with you and your friends using Digi-eggs to Armor Digivolve, you'd known which we started off as." Cass states. "We just used the Digi-eggs that we were able to pick up. So, I've never used, say the Digi-egg of Love." He answers, "I used to be a Patamon. I Digivolved with a Digi-egg of Kindness to become a Prairiemon. Cass had been a Gatomon; she used a Digi-egg of Knowledge. You see if you had used that Digi-egg of Love, your Veemon partner would have Armor Digivolve into a Sethmon." Davis looks up and says, "O, I didn't know that. Sorry if it's personal question, but I just didn't know you could do exchange Digi-eggs, let alone what our partners would have Digivolve into." Cass smiles a little. "It not that personal. I guess we just knew something that you didn't." "Thanks for telling me then." They nod and let Davis return to cutting up roots and dry vegetables.
They just hold hands and just watch the sun set.
--------------------------------------
The fact that it's almost supper didn't not seem to stop Rika and Renamon from chasing Happosai. They had lost interest in the chase, though the bets were still on. Also Suzie was back from that friend's house. So he was playing Go Fish with Wormon, Patamon, Lopmon, and Suzie.
It was T.K. and Ken that were trying to make supper. Kasumi was supervising their efforts at cooking. T.K. and Ken wanted to learn how to cook, for they wanted to help out around the kitchen. Ryo and Henry had chosen to help out by doing the shopping. They knew that Kasumi want to leave the Dojo for a while, so everyone was helping out. If thing did go wrong, Kari and Ranma could always do the cooking.
"Got any five, Veemon?" Lopmon asks. He looks at his cards and then answers, "Nope, Go Fish." Lopmon picks up a card. And just as she was going to add it to her hand, Happosai was send flying onto the table.
Everyone in the living room turns to find Rika and Renamon back to normal. "I hope you learned your lesson! If I hear you're doing perverted things, we'll pound on you. And I just let you off easy, just asks Ryo. Right Ryo?" Ryo just looks really scared and says with fear, "She's right. I'll never try stealing a kiss ever again." They just blink at that. "You stole a kiss with Rika? When?" Kari asks. "It was late Christmas. He claims that I was under some mistletoe. I know for a fact that there wasn't any, for Takato, Jeri, and I didn't up any up. So I did something that is better left not spoken of in front of Suzie." Everybody just sweat drops and then look at Ryo, he just nods in agreement.
Soon they clean up the table and then sets the table. Soon Ken and T.K. come into the room with food. Happosai was still out, which surprised Kasumi, Nabiki, and Ranma. They decide that it must be something to do with Digimon being around. Soon they were eating.
"So, Kasumi, any idea on where you want to visit?" Izzy asks her. She thinks about it and her answer is, "I was thinking on spending time in the Dire's reality. What Ranma said about just what was created, I think I wouldn't mind taking a look around. I'm certain that NeoDevimon would mind coming with me." "Good idea, sis. Good luck with at." Nabiki says with a smile. "You need to do something you like. Without dad and Akane around and our visitors willing to help out around the place, you should take a break." Kasumi just smiles, "Thank you Nabiki. I can't wait to tell NeoDevimon. I'll have to go shopping for new cloths though. I'll be needing blue jeans and boots. Rika, maybe you could help me find things for my trip?" Rika nods, "Ryo can give you advice on how to survive on your own." Ryo just grins at that. "Why, thank you Rika. I didn't know you cared." She glares at him and says, "You did spend about six months alone with only your partner as company. I think the least you could do is give Kasumi hints at what to expect. So, I was just stating a fact, not watering your ego." Ryo just continues to grin.
They just shake their head at that. Soon they finish supper. Most will be going to bed early. Tomorrow is a school day.
-----------------------------
He just finishes telling Fate about what K.P. said about the GL finding a Digimon with the mark of the Hazard. She had listen in silents and now he waits for her comments.
"This is big, cousin, quiet big. If the Hazard had split itself again, who knows into how many pieces. The Anchor is in danger." She states. He looks off and mutters, "The Hazard waits for the one to partner with, the worthy one shall shape the Hazard and the great beast of rage will only be calmed by the partner." She looks at him. "Why do you say that? The Hazard wouldn't partner up with any mon. I heard that you claim that no matter how many mon that thought that they control it, that it always does what it wants to do. So, why would it partner up with anything?"
He lets the silents continue for five full minutes then finally speaks. "Maybe its partner is a human." Fate looks shock. "No human would ever partner up with it! They wouldn't even begin to understand just what they're partnered with! It would make no sense!" "The thing is, if the partner could stop the Hazard in it's rage, then they don't need to know the full power that is the Hazard. The question is, did it split or is it whole? If it's whole then that Digimon with the mark is then stronger then it ever was. For its didn't half it strength then its at full power. No reality has ever fought the Hazard when it's whole. I can safely say that we'll never know until we meet up with it. I just wonder if it's found its chosen. I wonder just what kind of form it has taken. I wonder just what it acts like; does it plan revenge against those that imprisoned it? Does it take pleasure in battling and deleting it opponents? I just wonder what its like. I wonder if I could maybe even interview it? Now that's a once a lifetime experience! To listen to what it has to say and live to write about it." He grins at the idea. She just shakes her head. "Your crazy, cousin. That little bit about it partnering up with something is just so mon's idea of a joke! The Hazard will act like it always does. It can act any different."
He looks at her face and just couldn't help but smile. "Just like old times, huh? I support one side and you on the other. I'm just saying that anything is possible. Just look at what the GL has done. I bet some mon, somewhere said the same about linking realities. All things seem to come full cycle."
----------------------------
It was black out when the Digimon return. They are lead by a Garudamon. They couldn't get a good view of who was attacking. They all surrounded him. Luckily they had already repacked the pot and bowls. They hadn't unpacked the blankets.
Soon he yells, "Digi-Port Out, to Zeke 45!" Soon a portal opens and before the next round of attack come, they all jump through the portal. They land on a flat rocky out crop.
"Well, that was different. I thought that they'd attack in the middle of the night. Not just after evening. So, this is a good a place as any. Cassandra, will you do what you have to." Kage says. She nods and goes through the pack. Soon she puts the lab a few feet away and then actives the grow program. After fifteen minutes the lab stands as good as new. "How come it took so long to set up?" He asks. She answers, "It reorganized the whole mess when it was shrunk. The shrinking process always messes up the wiring and the connections. So it had to be careful when it's expanding. I guess we'll be sleeping on soft beds tonight." They all nod at that. Cassandra opens the door and once they're inside, she locks it.
Soon they all find their rooms and just fall asleep on them. Kage had to dedigivolve before entering the lab.
