Chapter 2
He just sighs as he finishes eating. It seems that Jill knew that he was a big eater, but he also noticed that Jill, herself, had eaten bout the same amount. He wonders if it was all because he was a Digimon right now. He learnt that's what these beings are, Digimon. It stands for Digital Monsters. He didn't know just what to make of this. He knows about NetNavis and some of that stuff from his day, but he's never heard of Digimon. He wonders if his dad has ever heard of them too.
He just sighs and looks out the window. It was getting dark out and he was getting tired. He begins to think about his parents. He then begins to get sad, for he hasn't woken up yet. He was beginning to wonder if this was even a dream. He didn't know just how his mom would react when she finds him gone. He also wonders if Maylu, his best friend, will react to the news.
He shakes himself awake and asks, "Where's my room?" Jill leads him to the room that he'll be using. He then closes the door and heads to the bed and moves the sheets up so he can slide in under them. He closes his eyes and is soon on his way to dreamland.
(-------------------------------Chaud----------------------------------------)
He was getting more tired by the minute. He really did try to stay awake, but his eyes closed on their own accord. He had a set himself up in a corner; he had mostly just sat there thinking. He drifts off into a dreamless sleep.
He didn't really know how much time had pass as he slept, but he was wakening to hearing Jinx yell out, "It's time! It's time Chaud! Wakie Wakie!" His eyes snap open and he watches as Jinx floats around. "Time for what?" He asks as he gets up slowly. He's back smarts and he's now really, really hungry.
"Time to raid the mess hall, that's what!" Jinx says cheerfully. He blinks at that and then asks slowly, "Mess hall?" Jinx just grins and giggles as he answers, "The meanies are busy doing stuff, so much so that they don't set guards around the mess hall! We can sneak in and eat as much as we want!" He just stares at Jinx, for this meant that there were other creatures around here. He pauses and thinks about something. "What do you mean by meanies?" He asks slowly. Jinx's face falls, answering, "They don't like other Digimon. They like to beat them up and do other mean stuff to them." He just sighs, and decides to take Jinx at his word on this on.
He then follows Jinx to this mess hall. As they walk he thinks about that word, Digimon. He's never heard of a Digimon or has any clue what a Digimon was. He's stomach then growls to remind him that he's starving. He just sighs as Jinx giggles at hearing his stomach growl.
They soon head onto the street and then they crept towards this building. He the takes a look into window and finds a green skinned creature napping at one of the tables. He's strongly reminded of a punk from just looking at this creature. Then he turns and finds a door. He opens it slowly and carefully. He didn't want to startle that green creature awake.
He then moves as softly as he could into the building. He then closes the door softly behind him. He plans on filling his stomach. He just hopes that there are fresh fruits and vegetables in there.

He looks around at the odd looking cows that were being herded out of the village. "What are they?" He asks Jill. Jill sighs and answers, "They are simcattle. They're based off data from real world cattle. When killed, they don't fragment into data right away. There bodies last for a good month before transforming into data. Then that data is recycled by the surrounding plant life. We get milk and meat from them. This herd is owned collectively."
He only got the parts about simcattle and fragmenting parts. "Cool! Are there any simchickens?" He decides to ask the shorter Digimon. Jill just sighs and says, "Don't really know. Simcattle have only been around for a good three hundred years. You mind get a chance to ask that Majiramon."
He nods and continues to look around, he had realized that he's a lot bigger then he used to be. Also that his hair was short and spiked as well as black and that his eye color is green. He wonders just what kind of Digimon he was seeing, for not all of them were Floramon like Jill. He also didn't know if he should ask Jill about just what kind of Digimon were around here. He already knows that Jill didn't like him asking a whole lot of questions and it might stop him from having this huge adventure, too. And he really wanted a huge adventure too. He wonders if he was a hero come to save this world from some really bad guys. That's usually how this works out on most of his favorite cartoon shows and some of the movies he's seen. He wonders if there's also some one else here to help him with that. That happens too on the TV shows and movies.
He soon finds himself back in the wooden elevator and they were back on their way up to see Buck. As they rise above the tree line, he gets an awesome sit waiting for him. He watches as dawn light slowly rises up. He watches at the play of colors that sparkle off some treetops.
All so suddenly, they make it to the great branch that houses Buck's house. He sighs as he turns from watching the sunrise. Shocker waits outside for them. Then Shocker opens the door and they walk in. Shocker then splits off from them to go somewhere. He doesn't ask Jill where, though. Feeling that he has already asked the number of questions that Jill would answer, he just follows in silence.
Jill knocks on the door and Buck again opens the door. They soon enter the study and they sit down on the chairs from yesterday. He notices a pack on the desk and what looked to be a small PET; only it's not blue like the ones he has seen his dad work on. It also had a red cord at the top; it was green with navy blue trim. Its shape was round at the bottom with the top a bit of a box. He could very easily hold it in one hand. The screen was grey with flickers of white.
He looks to where Buck is standing and asks, "What is that?" He motions to the device. Buck answers, "It was found just yesterday. It doesn't really react to anyone, but maybe it will for you." He then looks at the device and then reaches out and holds it. A light appears and then the screen is no longer grey, but has the time and day on it. It was October 4, 200X, and the time reads 7:32 AM. He then puts it around his neck.
Buck just sighs and then sits down. "I think this only adds to my idea. Tell me Lan, you're not from this world are you?" Buck asks. He just nods, not trusting himself to speak. "Then things are getting worse if the Digital World brings in outsiders. I can only warn you now, if you don't stop what happening here, it'll find its way to your world. Save this world and you save your own. I wish there was more for me to do, to help you on your path, but I must trust in the higher powers to guide you on your way. This map will help you find Union Gate." They then get up and he picks up the pack. He was stunned to find it light or maybe he was just stronger then he thought. Buck then leads them out of the study and then out of the house. "I wish you luck Lan. And Jill, could you take him as far as Ma River?" Jill just nods her head.
Soon they were on their way. He touches his device and wonders just what he was getting himself into. He also begins to wonder if he'll get to fight bad guys too. But a small and new part of him tells him that this just wasn't about him being the hero, but of helping others.
(-------------------------------Chaud----------------------------------------)
He finishes pigging out and then realizes the mess that he made. He looks sheepishly around at the apple core, banana skins, and other such things. This was his first time eating so much. He then looks to see if Jinx was still eating.
He just sighs and picks up the little guy. He didn't know just why he did it, only that in the short amount of time, the little guy has grown on him. As he opens the door to leave, the door that leads to the mess hall opens up. He just stares at the creature before him. Then the green skinned being charges him. "You little thief! I'll have fun beating the slim out of you!" The creature says. He notices the club that the goblin has with him.
As the goblin takes a swing with his club, he dodges out of the way, and then kicks the goblin in the chest. His eyes focus on the goblin as the goblin recovers from the attack. He shocked himself in attacking the creature, but it also felt so… so … right.
Now the creature is being cautious and watching him as well. He knows that he has to keep this creature from summoning help. He just didn't know how to do that. He's never really fought before and his standard NetNavi was mostly for show then for battling. He made a mental note to learn more about battling when he gets home. He might even asks for a custom made Navi. But that'll have to come later, for now the goblin creature decides to attack.
"Goblin Strike!" The goblin creature cries and he jumps up into the air and then he calls out, "Wind Fury!" A mini whirlwind appears and sends the goblin flying through the wall. He lands and just blinks at the damage his attack caused. Deciding not to question his luck, he races out the door and then down the manhole.
He races to what he thinks is east and north. He decides to leave the city before he gets found out and attacked again. He didn't want to risk Jinx or himself in a fight against a large force of whatever this creatures were.
Soon he sees an opening and some beat up trees. He stops and looks around. Then he jumps down and continues to scan the area. The he leaps to the right and watches as a large green creature slowly stands up. He doesn't like this, this opponent was larger then him and might be a better fighter then him.
He then notices a device around this creatures neck. It reminds him of a PET, but it was much smaller and its colors are black with silver trim. The cord is navy blue in color. Even from here, he could see that the screen wasn't working, but he can help but be attracted to this device. It was almost like it was calling to a part of him. He also knows that if he wants it, he has to fight for it.
He narrows his eyes and hears Jinx wake up. "What's going on?" Jinx ask tiredly. "We're on the run and we need to defeat whatever that thing is." He says simply. The great green creature snorts and moves the bond club off the ground. "As if a puny rookie and in-training Digimon could ever hope to stand a chance against me, a champion level Digimon." The green Digimon says.
He tries not to reveal his emotions, but he thinks. 'Digimon? Is that what I got turned into. So if he's a champion Digimon, does that means that he used to be a rookie? Think later, fight now.' He thinks and lets go of Jinx. "Hide somewhere, Jinx. This is between him and me." He says in a matter of fact voice. Jinx just says, "Ok… Good luck though." Jinx floats off to the closest tree to hide in. He just hopes he's not being rash about this.
