Chapter 11
They made it to File Connect with easy, mostly traveling on foot. Takato would only fly ahead for a few miles, mostly to check it out and to pick a spot for lunch. They soon would come to the town.
He shifted his pack a bit. They had decided that Takato would carry the food, and that they would carry their cloths. He looks over at his brother, Kouji. Kouji looks over at him and gives him a small smile. Then they focus on the road before them. He's happy that his brother decided to come.
They had updated the other Digidestine's D-tectors maps on Sunday. It was now Tuesday; they had camped out the night before. They didn't mind taking their time, for they definitely have at the very least five days, or right now four days to check out just what it was that Takato visited last Friday.
Takato stops and look around, "Does this look familiar Kouichi?" He looks around then nods. "I believe so, aren't we a few miles from the village?" Kouji pull out his D-tectors and the map comes out. They did find themselves closer then they thought they'd be, even without using their beast forms. Kouji puts his D-tector away and then moves his pack up higher onto his shoulders.
"We've been making good time, it's about supper time. Look at the sun, it's getting ready to set. Let hurry to IceLeomon's place." They nod in agreement with Kouji's statement. They continue their walk; soon they begin to spy buildings on the horizon.
By the time the sky was darkening they find their way to IceLeomon's house. Takato knocks on the door and IceLeomon opens up. On seeing Takato and Kouichi, he greets them with a warm smile and invites them in.
"Thank you, sir. My name's Kouji Minamoto, I'm Kouichi's brother." Kouji introduces himself as the door behind them closes. "I'm honored to met you, Kouji. I welcome you into my home. I hope your stay will be a pleasant one." IceLeomon says, and then he leads the three of them into the living room.
Kouji and Kouichi take off their packs and IceLeomon takes them out of the room, "Make yourselves comfortable. I'll put your packs into the rooms you'll be using. It's a good thing that I haven't started supper or I'd have to make some more food." They look at where IceLeomon had disappeared to and they said in unison, "Thank you very much, sir."
They just relaxed, waiting for IceLeomon to reenter the room. The silence continues, and they didn't mind it one bit. After fifteen minutes IceLeomon came back into the room.
"It's started, so I believe that Zoe decided to stay behind?" IceLeomon asks. "Yes, she decided to wait. They might be showing up later on. It depends what happens with the invaders. So, I hope you don't mind if more then just Zoe shows up." He says, Takato agrees with him. "I have a friend that wouldn't mind the company, he's a Monodramon. So, I hope whatever it is that you came for, I hope you find it." IceLeomon says. "Thanks, I hope to find it tomorrow, so I'll be up early." Takato says.
With a nod IceLeomon when to check up on supper. Some how Kouji and him fell asleep. Leaving Takato awake.

He looked around only to find Kouichi and Kouji asleep. He didn't feel the bit tired, but then, he didn't really carry anything heavy, his dimensional pouch didn't feel any heavier then without the stuff in it. It was just how it was, as long as it's in the pouch, he didn't have to worry about it being heavy. He also has a lot of room in it.
Besides the food and water, he also has torches, rope, and other handy things. He hope that his prepared for exploring that building. He still remembers that he didn't really need that much light, it was mostly because of the kind of Digimon he was. Good night vision to help him out in dark places.
After an hour has passed, IceLeomon comes back into the room. He get up and motions to Kouichi, IceLeomon nods his head and walks over to Kouichi. He mean while walks over to Kouji, soon he shakes Kouji awake. Kouji blinks and he points over where Kouichi and IceLeomon were heading. "Supper's ready, hope you don't mind that I let you two sleep." He says to Kouji. "No problem, I guess it must have been the weight of the packs and the walking without any snack breaks that did it. Come on, let's go eat." Kouji gets up and walks through the door that IceLeomon and Kouichi walked through. He soon follows Kouji through the door.

He fingered his bracelet, he almost forgot about it. He decided to try it out. Checking to see if Kouji was fast asleep, he gets up and heads out of the room, and down the hall to where Takato's sleeping.
As he walks into the room he notices that Takato was sleeping on his left side, his tail curled up around his left leg. His right wing was covering the top part of Takato's body. Guessing that late, Takato will roll over onto his stomach later, he walks over. He takes off his bracelet and with his right hand, touches Takato with his right hand that also has the bracelet in it.
He finds himself in a park. He looks around and finds the night sky; the moon is full and the star look so different then from his real world. He hears the sound of laughter and decides to follow it. As he walks through the trees, the sound of laughter got louder.
Soon he finds himself looking at a boy with brown hair with yellow goggles on his head. The other teen was wearing a blue T-shirt that had an image of a silver something, he couldn't tell from he's standing. The teen was also wearing a pair of blue jeans. The teen was trying to pick up the red Digimon that's with him.
He looks at the Digimon that's with the teen, it looks to be a red dino. The Digimon had this ears that reminded him of when Seraphimon was Patamon. He also notices that this Digimon was large and had black markings.
Then it hit him, the teen and the red Digimon were Takato and Guilmon. He just looked stunned; he was looking at Takato as a human. It was so different then sees him as a Digimon. It was then that the large rookie stopped laughing and sniffed the air. The human Takato, too, stopped laughing.
"What's wrong, boy?" He was surprised at the sound of his voice; it was so different then when Takato's a Digimon. The red Digimon turns his way, and he finds himself looking into Guilmon's yellow eyes. Then Takato turns around and he looks into Takato's hazel eyes. 'They look red.' Was all he could think about.
They just stood facing each other. Then Guilmon asks, "Takatomon, who's that?" He blinks at the childish voice. Takato sighs and says, "Don't call me a mon around others, boy. This is Kouichi, Kouichi this is my partner Guilmon." He nods, finding himself unable to speak.
Takato and Guilmon approach him. He also moves forward, they soon meet up. He takes a closer look at Guilmon and finds the black Hazard symbol on Guilmon's crest.
He soon finds his voice and says to Guilmon, "You look just like Calamon described you." Guilmon smiles at him and says, "You look like what Takato told me too! Did you bring any Guilmon Bread with you?" Guilmon ask hopefully. "I don't think so, boy. How did you get here?" Takato asks him. "Can we go sit down some where to talk about this? This whole thing is kind of stunned me. I hope you don't mind me being here, though." Takato smiles at him and answers, "We can sit over by Guilmon's shed. And I'm just surprised, that's all. Come on Guilmon, we can play after wards." "Ok Takato. Will he be playing with us?" Guilmon asks. "It's up to Kouichi, boy. Come on."
Takato leads them onto a walkway. He looks at the shed, he goes up to the door and looks in. "Was there a battle in there?" He asks, Takato just laughs at that. "No, Guilmon's handy work, right boy?" Takato says. He looks over at Guilmon with an eyebrow raised. Guilmon says, "I make the place bigger, so that I feel smaller! It's also great place to bury bread and other food. Then it's fun to dig it up and eat it!" He looks back into the shed then he sits down on the steps. Takato and Guilmon also sit down.
There's a pause then he sighs and starts, "Do you remember that bracelet that I was wearing? The one on my left wrist?" Takato nods. "I got that the night that I couldn't sleep. It came from a Wizardmon that I met that night. He told me about what it can do, so I decided to save it. I just remembered before I fell asleep. I got up and decided to try it out. I could only use it once. I didn't know just what I was expecting. I'm glad that I used it. It's been nice to meet your partner and to see you as a human." Takato nods and sighs, "I guess it must be odd for you, you've only seen me as a Digimon, not as a human. I only seem to be human here, well until Guilmon and I split up."
He couldn't deny that see him as a teenager didn't give him a large shock, but he was getting use to it. "I know that your suppose to be a human, it's just kind of freaky to see you as a human. You never did tell us what you looked like as a human. I also didn't know that you liked to wear goggles. Anything else I should know?" Takato thinks about it and answers, "I know that Tai and Davis also liked to wear goggles, Tai gave his to Davis, but he did wear them as a kid. I guess you can safely say that there's four goggle wearing Chosen out there." Both Takato and him grin about that.
"Takato, can we play now?" Guilmon asks. "Ok, boy. You want to watch Kouichi?" They all got up and he answers, "I guess I wouldn't mind playing a game or two." Guilmon yells, "Yea! Lets play!"
They played tag and they also splashed each other in the fountain. Soon they tire of playing games. They find a good spot and just lie there, looking up at the night sky.
Soon Takato and him begin to glow and they said bye to Guilmon before they woke.
He finds himself back in his bed. He turns to look at Kouji, only to find that he's sleeping. He didn't know just how he got back to his bed, but he did get up and get dressed. After he was finished changing, he woke his bother.
"Come on Kouji, Takato's up and might be ready to go." He tells his brother; soon Kouji's up and changes his cloths. Soon they're out of their room and head to where the table is. IceLeomon greets them as he sits there, eating breakfast. They also notice that Takato was already eating as well.
He remembers just what he had seen in Takato's dream world. It was so different to know just what Takato looks like as a human. "Thanks for breakfast IceLeomon." He says as he sits down and begins to help him self to the food. IceLeomon nods, "You're my guests, it's my responsibility to see that you've eaten a good meal. I'll look after you things while you're away. We don't know how long you'll be exploring around. So don't worry about anything." Kouji says, "Thank you, sir. I hope we're not gone for too long."
They soon finish off the food, they take their leave. They watch as Takato takes to the air. They follow him through the town. They soon make their way into where Takato's circling. They look down at where Takato circling around, they didn't see anything of a few minutes then something shimmers and for a second they saw a wall.
They watch as Takato seems to disappears, then they find ropes coming out of nowhere. They look at each other and then they walk over at the two ropes, they begin to climb up the ropes. Soon they find Takato standing there. Takato begins to roll the ropes back up. Then puts them into his pouch.
They then turn to the door and they let Takato lead the way. Takato takes out a torch as he opens the door. They walk a foot away from Takato as they enter the hallway. Soon Takato moves over to let them look at the stairway. Takato hands Kouji the torch and then Takato looks at them then sighs and begins to walk down the stairs. With them following him.
