Chapter 2

He lands easily on a large rock. He wonders if he should return to his human self or maybe slide evolve into Cerawmon. He thinks about the pros and cons of either opinion. Finally he just sighs and slide evolves into Cerawmon. He figures that traveling around as a human might attract too much attention and he doesn't want that.

He moves down off the rock and moves towards the town he spotted as he flies over. His wings were folded tightly so they don't interfere with him walking. He tries to remember to lift his talons high enough as so they wouldn't scrap the grass or rocks.

Soon he comes within sight of the town and pauses as he watches rock and flying type Digimon move through the market. He then walks towards the town. Few Digimon look twice at him as he strolls down the street. He's taller then most of the Digimon around and keeps an eye out as so he doesn't step on anyone. A ball hits his chest and he notices a small yellow Digimon racing up to him. He rolls the ball towards the little Digimon with his snout and is awarded a grin from the fur ball.

He in time finds a post office by a clock tower. He figures it's the best place to find out more about the area his currently moving through. He moves towards the large doors and pushes the doors open. He walks into the building without it being a tight fit.

As he walks towards the billboard, he looks around at the inside of the building. He notes the many maps with coloured pin on the walls. He notices that there isn't much noise as he expected. He watches as a Biyomon with a brown bag walks towards one of the staircases. He can smell ink and hot chocolate as he stops before the billboard.

He then reads the posters that are pinned on the billboard. He notices wanted signs as well as old notices about festivals and parties. For sell signs take up the bulk of the space on the billboard as he skims over the posters. He didn't find anything that could be useful.

"Excuse me, but are you looking for anything in particular?" He hears and looks down to find an Aurumon looking at him. "I'm just wondering what area I'm passing through." He replies to the owl Digimon. The Aurumon looks thoughtful and says, "You're in Wind Country. This town is called Feather Puff. Does that help?" He sighs and says, "I guess, it's just that I'm kind of not from around here." "Really?" Aurumon says as the Digimon beings to study him with interest. "Yea. I also don't have any money either. Sounds kind of unprepared, huh?" He tells the owl Digimon. The champion Digimon nods and looks thoughtful.

"True, but some of the best things out of life comes from unexpected things happening. You looking for a job until you have enough money to continue on?" Aurumon asks. He's kind of surprise and says, "Why not, it's not like I'm in a rush or anything." Aurumon nods and heads towards the doors that lead to the back rooms of the post office, the owl says, "Follow me, please. Also, what kind of Digimon are you?" "I'm a Cerawmon." He answers as he follows the smaller Digimon.

(----Takuya----)

They walk out of the city limits, heading east into the mountains. They had talked with some of the Digimon that live in the city about where to find Honour's Castle. Most of the Digimon thought that they're joking, though a few, those among the police, was more helpful. They had received a map and some supplies for a few days.

He hums as they walk on the trail leading to Hero's Peak. He thinks about how much he's grown since he was last in the Digital World. His hair is still on the short side, he doesn't see any reason to let it grow out, for he still wears the cap and goggle combo. He stands just an inch taller then the twins and boarder in the shoulder then them. His skin is a bit tanner from him playing soccer as well as he's now has 'rugged good looks' to quote a girl he over heard as he was walking past. He still prefers yellow and red cloths with light brown cargo pants.

He then thinks about just how much harder it has become to tell the difference between Koichi and Kouji. Even though Kouji prefers to keep his hair longer then Koichi and continues to wear bandanas, if you didn't know them that well, you couldn't tell them apart if they were wearing the same cloths. And believe him, for he remembers this one Halloween where the pair decided to pass as each other, so Koichi wore what Kouji usually wears as Kouji wears what Koichi usually wears. To say that it confused the heck out of him was putting it mildly.

Both twins have about the same build, which is lean. They're still have lighter toned skin. Zoe reported once that more then a few of her friends have called them 'pretty boys.' He's not admitting anything, but he could see it. Though in his opinion Kouji has more muscles then Koichi, for Kouji still practices kendo. In fact, Kouji joined the Kendo club at school, the only reason the bandana wearing teen did was to keep Koichi and him off his back about participating in school activities. And Koichi joined the computer club.

His musing are cut short as his belly rumbles. He then hears the same sound coming from behind him and then once more, most likely coming from the other twin. He stops and says, "I guess it's lunch?" "We can eat by that rock up ahead." Koichi suggests. "Ok, to the rock!" He says as he punches his left arm into the air. He hears Kouji sigh at his antics, but he choices to ignore it.

They soon settle under the rock and take out some fruit out of the packs their carrying. They soon are eating their lunch, though he figures it's really their supper. They had been on their way home from Zoe's party when they received the call from Orphanimon.

'I wonder when they'll be arriving? Time does move differently here then in the real world, so what? A week or two?' He thinks as he finishes his final big, green, and white berry. He notices that he's finished eating the fruit he took out of the pack. He then checks to see if Koichi and Kouji are done. He nods slowly as he finds that they're also ready to go.

He picks his pack up off the ground as the twins follow his example. Once more, they're on the move and he just hopes that it doesn't take too long to find Honour's Castle. He just hopes that whatever the being that crossed over into this world isn't going to cause too much trouble.

(----Takato----)

He lies flat on his belly, with his wings spread out as well as kind of unfolded. He had a long afternoon; he had found himself in front of a map of Wind Country as Aurumon showed him where he's going to be delivering bags of packages and letters. It would seem that they were in need of large and strong Digimon to travel between post offices to drop off and pick up mail for Feather Puff's post office.

The post office was having trouble with raiders and bandits who like to ambush post office workers who travel between towns. He's very capable escaping from such solutions. He told Aurumon that he's not looking for any fights and Aurumon seems relieved about that. It would seem that Aurumon was worried that he might try and be a hero when in those kind of solutions.

He slowly refolds his wings and sits up. He stretches his neck and then his tail. He hears things crack and pop, but otherwise, nothing else. He glances at the tip of his tail. He studies his five bards that growing at the tip of his tail. He moves his tail side to side and then gets up off his butt.

He takes one last glance around the spacious room, and then heads through the doorway and down the hall. He can smell that supper is done and he hears his stomach grumble. He smiles sheepishly as he goes down the stairs. He pause to let a pair of in-training Digimon race in front of him. He just shakes his head and counts his lucky stars that he never had to deal with any of Guilmon's lower forms. He doubts that he would have survived if he had.

(----Rika----)

She glances around the room where Grani is. She's not the only one here either, Henry and the others were also moving about the room. She also did a double take when she watches as Dobermon and Alice come into the room with one of the Monster Makers; she can't remember his name though. Then as she watches Alice and the adult interacts, it occurs to her that Alice was this guy's daughter.

She looks away, suppressing feelings that awoke with the realization of Alice's relationship with the computer programmer. She finds Renamon looking at her with a concerned look and she smiles a bit at her partner. Renamon relaxes a bit and she then looks at where Jeri and Henry are standing. She looks sad at how Jeri seems to take comfort from Henry's touch.

She wished Takato and her could one day have something like that. She pushes those thoughts out of her mind and thinks about just why they're here. She gives Guilmon a quick glance and is relieved to find that the rookie was busy talking with Grani. This makes her smile and it also reminds her that Grani wasn't some kind of computer, but something akin to a Digimon.

Soon they all gather around where Henry's dad is, that includes Alice and Dobermon. She notices that Guilmon isn't with them, but still talking to Grani. If she didn't know any better, she'd think that Guilmon might be planning something, for the red Dino is starting to look nervous about something. She just shakes her head and once more looks over at Janyu, waiting for him to begin.

Once everyone has quieted down, Henry's dad begins. "I'm sure you all are wondering what we've been doing since Takato has disappeared. You see, we've been going over Grani's original programming in hopes of expanding it. We believe that Grani can lock onto Takato's D-Ark and then cross into that world." They all perk at that. "So you're saying that Grani could take us to where Takato is?" Kazu asks. "That's right, but we don't know if it'll work, but it's worth a shot. We're just finishing the installing the corrected programming by tomorrow. We hope to be testing it over the next couple of days as well." Janyu informs them. They all turn to look over at Grani. She wonders just who will be leaving to find Takato. She then is very determined to be one of those that will be searching for Takato.

)-()-(

She knows that something was out of place, but she couldn't think of just what it was. It's morning and she's currently sitting at the table and staring blankly at her breakfast. She just knows she's suppose to be some where, but where?

"Is something wrong dear?" Her grandmother asks. "I just have this feeling like I'm suppose to be some where…" She answers. "How's Guilmon? I don't remember you mentioning him when you came back yesterday." Her grandmother says.

Something clicks and soon she knows just where she needs to be. "I have to go, grandma. I forgot to check on Guilmon." She says as she grabs her pack as she races out the door. She curses mentally as she races through the streets. "What's the matter Rika?" Renamon asks as her partner appears behind her. "Guilmon." She replies and her partner just says, "O."

(----Takuya----)

They have are currently inside the castle, but they're having a tough time locating their spirits. They have been searching for a good three days and they also haven't heard anything about Zoe, Tommy, and JP and he is getting worried. Though Kouji did keep reminding him that they don't know what time it is in the real world and for all they know it's been only a minute since they got onto the Trailmon.

He sighs as he thinks back at how easy it had been to get pass the defences. All they had to do was use their D-Tectors. He not sure if the defences are active once more or if they're still inactive, he don't want to think about it though, they have other things to worry about. He frowns as he passes the same statue once more.

He pauses and began to think about all the other times he's pass this particular statue. The statue is dedicated Renemon, the human spirit of Water. He also knows that Fire is the opposite of Water. He blinks as he notices that the symbol of Fire was where the symbol of Water is suppose to be. His eyes widen and he gasps as it hits him that this is where his spirits are.

He recovers and takes out his D-Tector. He points it at the Fire symbol and says, "Spirit!" The symbol glows red and the image of Aldamon appears. With a simple nod from the spirit, it then becomes a beam of red light and enters into his D-Tector. He smiles as he looks into the screen and watches as Agunimon appears on the screen and then BurningGreymon. He sighs and looks at the statue. He grins as he notes that the true symbol for Renemon is where it should be.

He pockets his D-Tector before heading off to find Koichi and Kouji. He grins as he pictures the look on their faces when he tells them where their spirits are most likely to be found. He might not like to boast as much as when he was younger, but he doesn't mind rubbing in the fact that once again, he found his spirits before anyone else.

(----Takato----)

He soars through the clouds, wondering just what's so important about the report he's carrying. He frowns as he recalls how Aurumon fused over how important it was to take this document to Honour's Castle. He was even given clear and precise directions on where the castle was. He even wonders just what's so important about said castle as well, for he swore not to reveal the location of the castle or to ever speak of his time there. He truly had to wonder just what's with all this secrecy all of a sudden.

He also wasn't carrying anything else but that report. Though he did take his money with him, he didn't want to take a chance that one of the young Digimon might want to 'borrow' some of his money. He's been warned about it from the landlord. Also he wouldn't mind a chance to shop around. He might even slide evolve into Enlilmon for that shopping trip.

He circles as he notices the shimmering light around a certain point. He expands his scents and blinks as he finds the spot over energized by energies of Fire, Light and Darkness. He sighs and retracts his scents from the area below. 'Must be the place. I wonder just who I'm to hand the report over to.' He thinks as he begins to descend downward.

He blinks as he notices that a fireball was coming his way. He folds his wing to his body and then moves to the right, the fireball pass him by without even touching him. He opens his wings a tiny bit and flaps them to help speed his descend. He is please to note that no more fireballs are sent towards him.

He begins to open his wings a bit more as he notices that a tower approaching him at high speeds. He quickly banks left and circles around the tower. This helps slow him down and he then aims for a spot before the main doors of the castle. He lands without much trouble and then blinks as something activates and he finds himself transformed back into his human self.

He notes that the pouch with the report is on the ground before him. He sighs and walks over. He picks it up with ease and takes a look around before entering into the castle. He wonders just how will he explain how he got here and who he is. He closes the door behind him and then studies the room. He decides to head to the second floor, he keeps his left hand on the pouch as he climbs the stairs.

He notices the tapestries and paintings that line the hallway. He notices the odd statue as well. He opens doors as he walks through the hall. Most of the rooms are empty and he just closes the door and moves on to the next one. He doesn't want to yell out his greetings just encase there are enemies within the grounds.

He just doesn't like the quiet that is prudent through the castle. It makes him uneasy and as he continues through the hall, he kind of wishes that something would break the silence. He doesn't care just what it was, but as long as it was noisy, he'd feel better about all of this.

He turns the corner without checking and bumps into someone. He takes a step back and finds that it's a teen he bumped into. He finds that the older boy is surprised to find him here. "Hi." He says in an uneasy tone. The teen blinks and says, "Hi. Are you suppose to be here?" He takes off the pouch and says, "I'm here to deliver this report to whoever is within this castle." The teen blinks and takes the pouch. "Where did you come from?" The teen asks curiously. "Feather Puff, it's in Wind Country." He explains.

They don't say anything as they study each other. He notices that the older guy is wearing a green jacket over a black shirt. The black hair is short and that the guy as blue eyes. "How did you get here?" The teen asks. "I kind of came in by air. I'm Takato Matsuda." He says. "I'm Koichi Kimura." Koichi says and he just stares at Koichi, he's shocked to meet one of the Digidestine he read about. He doesn't know just what to do, though he can tell that the teen is very uncomfortable with how he's staring at him.
