Chapter 3
He is currently arguing with Kouji about them leaving now that they have their spirits. Kouji wants to wait for Zoe, Tommy, and JP, but he's arguing that the sooner they confront whatever it is that's in Wind Country, the sooner they can find out what the threat is. They notice Koichi standing by one of the corners and then before he calls out, Koichi turns and they notice a kid with goggles.
He blinks as he studies the kid before Koichi. From the look of things, it seems that the kid is stunned. "Who's your friend?" He asks in his most friendly voice. Koichi answers, "Meet Takato. He came from Wind Country to deliver this pouch." Koichi holds up the pouch with one hand. "Really? How did he get here? It must have been a long way to walk to arrive here." Kouji says blankly. Takato doesn't answer, though Koichi says, "He arrived here by air. Though he looks kind of faint, huh?" He nods and then Takato says suddenly, "I read that story that Bokomon wrote in the book."
They all look surprise as Takato moves the pack that's on his back and takes out the book that Bokomon kept. Takato hands it over to him and he opens the book up and finds white sheets of loose leaf with writing on it. Kouji picks up on of the pages and asks, "What's with the paper?" "I got some people to help me translate the text." Takato answers. "Good idea." Koichi says and Kouji places the page back inside the book. He closes it and he studies Takato closely.
He finds that Takato has unusual reddish eyes. Yellow goggles are perched on the young boy's head, keeping the bangs out of Takato's eyes. He notices that Takato's wearing a blue hoody and tan cargo pants. He frowns as he notices this odd device hanging from one of the belt lops. Then he notes what looks to be a card deck.
"What's with the cards?" Koichi asks. Takato's hand went to the deck and says, "These? There just cards to a popular game where I come from." "What kind of game?" He asks. He's interested in what kind of card game was so important that Takato keeps his deck on hand. "The Digimon card game." Takato replies and takes out a card and hands it to Kouji. He moves and finds that a picture of red dinosaur on it. It says Tyrannomon and that's it's a champion level Digimon and it's attribute is Data. It even lists some attacks too.
He asks, "You come from a different dimension then?" He turns and looks at Takato. "Yea. We just finished defeating this program and a few hours later, I kind of found myself here in this world." Takato says. "Then that's your Digivice?" Koichi asks. "It's one of them." Takato says. Then Takato reaches into a pocket and pulls out a white D-Tector with purple trims and blue out line. "I kind of created my own spirits." Takato admits sheepishly.
He glances over at Kouji and then over at Koichi. They were at a lost of what to say. Though one thing seems certain, they founded the being that crossed over. He sighs and shakes his head a bit. "So, you must have some interesting story to tell." He says and Takato nods. "You want to sit somewhere and listen to it? It's kind of a long one." Takato says. "It's not like we're in a huge hurry anymore." Koichi says. Once they hand the card back to Takato, they lead the per-teen towards the kitchen. He figures that a snack wouldn't hurt.
(----Rika----)
She sighs as she finds Guilmon fast asleep by Grani. She relaxes and moves towards the red rookie. Then her stomach growls, reminding her that she still haven't eaten anything this morning. Renamon raise an eyebrow and says, "I think the cafeteria is open." She nods but looks at the red Dino still fast asleep. "I'll keep an eye on him." Renamon says without her even asking her partner to.
As she leaves the room, she finds that Ryo was at the door. "Guilmon?" She asks. Ryo nods and she adds, "Still asleep." Ryo lets out a sigh. "I thought that he might be up to something with Grani. Good to know that they haven't done anything just yet." Ryo says as he trails behind her. She grunts her agreement and as she tones Ryo out.
After they finish eating some pancakes and scrambled eggs, they headed back to the room with some food for their partners as well as for Guilmon. Ryo opens the door and says, "Ladies first." She snorts and rolls her eyes as she enters into the room.
Before anyone could do anything, a red blur launches itself towards her. Then as she blinks, she finds that Guilmon has already taken the plates off her hand and was already eating the contents. "You do know that this one is for Renamon?" She says as she leans down to retrieve the plate before Guilmon starts in on it. "And don't talk with you mouth full." She adds as Guilmon mutters something. Ryo moves in and places one of his plates on the ground and then walks over towards his partner. Once both Monodramon and Renamon have their respective plates of food, they sit down on one of the chairs by the computers.
Soon Guilmon finishes his meal and walks to Grani's head. Renamon and Monodramon pause as Guilmon then begins to try and climb onto Grani's head. "What are you doing?" She asks. "I want to see if there's a portal over the city." Guilmon replies. "That's it?" Ryo asks. "Yipe!" Guilmon says and finally rests on Grani's neck.
Ryo and her share a glance and then they get off the chairs. Once they're by the neck, she climbs onto the neck, just behind Guilmon. Ryo next and their partners opted to climb onto the back. Once they're on, Grani activates the roof controls. Then Grani slowly ascends towards the opening. As they were exiting the room, people began to enter into the room and calling them to come down. Grani doesn't seem to listen and soon they're outside of the building.
It's then as she looks down to where the D-Reaper had once laid claim. That part of the city has yet to be touched, for it seems the government has yet to decide on whom to award the recreation to. It also reminded her that only a few days, close to a week, has passed since they defeated the D-Reaper. She shakes her head sadly as she notices that there wasn't much left to salvage, for the D-Reaper had eaten away at most of the buildings.
She stops looking down and forward. She can hear Guilmon sniffing the air as they circle the city. Soon Guilmon says, "I smell it!" Grani stops and hovers in place. They search around and then she looks down. She blinks as she realizes that they were over what use to be the Hypnos building. "O." She says as she remembers the incidents that happened over top of the Hypnos building. Ryo asks, "What's wrong?" "We're over top of where the Hypnos building would be." She explains. "O." Ryo says and doesn't add anything, she doubts he understands what she meant, but this isn't the time or the place to inform him of it.
Then a vortex begins to appear before them. "O no." She says. "O yes." Ryo says as Grani begins to enter into the bright tunnel. "We're coming Takato!" Guilmon says once the vortex closes behind them. She sighs and just hopes they don't take too much time finding Takato.
(----Takato----)
Koichi had been kind enough to give him a tour of Honour's Castle as Takuya and Kouji talk, or argue in this case after he told his story. He wonders just what the pair will think when they find his pages about his spirits of Shifting Chaos. He also wonders just where the other three are, for he hasn't seen any of them. He also doesn't want to intrude either, so he doesn't say anything.
He sits at the table; he just finished making some pastries. He watches as Takuya pigs out on them. He smiles slightly as he notes that all three teens like the pastries that he made. "Where did you learn to cook?" Kouji asks. "My parents run a bakery. I tend to help out around during the summer." He explains. "These… are… really good!" Takuya says between swallows. He blushes slightly, pleased with the compliment he received.
Soon only a plateful remains and he gets up. He grabs a towel and places it over the reminder of the pastries. They then leave the kitchen; he trails after Takuya as the twins head off into different directions. Takuya wants to play a game of soccer, just a friendly game of one on one. He was never good at sports, he prefers to sit around and draw. Once they make it outside, he watches as Takuya picks up a red ball and Takuya asks, "You know the rules, right?" He nods and Takuya nods in approval.
They head to a grassy part of the garden and Takuya drops the ball onto the ground. "You defend those two trees and I'll be defending between the rock and that bush, ok?" Takuya asks. He shrugs and soon Takuya has already kicked the ball. He moves as fast as he can to get the ball away from the teen, but Takuya has the advantage of longer legs and experience. Takuya kicks the ball through his 'goal.' He sighs and runs to grab the ball. Once more they move to the centre of the 'field' and he starts off. He doesn't get that far, but this time before Takuya can kick the winning shot, they both find themselves on the ground and in pain.
He can hear someone laugh evilly as he grinds his teeth to keep from crying out in pain. It feels like his skin is being pealed away from his body. He feels tears run down his face as he curls up. After five minutes, the laughter fades, as does the pain. He takes short and shallow breaths as he uncurls. "What was that?" He hears Takuya whispers. "No clue, but something bad must have happened for us to react the way we did." He tells Takuya. "You're right. Lets find Koichi and Kouji." Takuya says as the teen gets up off the ground. He follows Takuya's example and they turn towards the castle, their game forgotten.
(----Takuya----)
He frowns as he notices that Takato seems to be taking this whole thing without too much problem. But then, it's hard to remember that this was a kid that faced off against a blob that would delete anything in its path. He kind of shudders at the very thought of facing something like that, he was happy that they faces something with an actual face then some faceless enemy that seems to devour everything in it's path.
They sat around the table in the largest room of the castle. Currently Cherubimon is examining Takato. So, it's only Ophanimon, Seraphimon, Koichi, Kouji, and himself at the table. They were waiting for Cherubimon to finish up. Soon the door opens and the pair enters into the room.
Takato moves to his left and sits in the chair as Cherubimon sits to Orphanimon's right. "He is the one that we were looking for and he's not carrying any kind of dangerous disease." The rabbit looking mega tells them. "Then welcome to our world, Takato. I hope you don't mind too much of our… rough welcome." Seraphimon says. "You can't be too careful." Takato agrees. The tension that had been circulating through the room vanished and he relaxes.
Soon Seraphimon begins, "About five hours ago, a rift opened up and something came through. Sadly, this event has sealed the Digital World off from the real world." The angel Digimon pause to let this sink in and then continues on. "There for, we would like for you four to investigate the continent of Darkness, for that's where the portal opened up at. We have reason to believe that whatever crossed over will most likely keep to that part of our world for the time being. It takes quite a bit of energy to move between dimension and whoever crossed over should be resting over the next few days." Seraphimon finishes and they all look thoughtful.
"So once we have supplies, we're on our way then?" He asks. "A Trailmon will take you to the nearness terminal by the Dark continent." Orphanimon confirms. They nod thoughtfully and they get up and say their byes to the three protectors of Digital World.
(----Nobody's----)
Guilmon grunts and picks himself off the ground. The red rookie glances around and notices the way Grani has landed. He sniffs around, but can't find any of the others scents though. The virus growls as he remembers how they were ambushed and he just hopes that where ever the other four are, that they're alright.
As the red Digimon picks his way towards the 'war horse,' he notices that they landed in a field. Soon the red virus stands to where Grani's head is bared. "Sorry Grani, but I don't think I'm strong enough to get you out of there." Grani sends to Guilmon. 'It's alright, Guilmon. I'm buried kind of deep and it will take a lot of time and strength to get me out of here.'
Guilmon then thinks about it and begins to dig around Grani's front. He might not be able to pull his friend out, but he could try and make Grani comfortable. The red Digimon digs and locates Grani's chest. He pulls out of the hole and just as he begins to move to the other side, a voice asks, "What seems to be the trouble my friend."
Guilmon turns and blinks in surprise as he finds himself looking at a knight in white armour with red trim. The knight Digimon has the same shield that he has when Takato and him Bio Merge. "You're a Gallantmon?" He says in shock. The mega Digimon nods and asks, "Want some help to get your friend out of the ground?" Guilmon brightens and says, "That would be great!" Then remembers some of the manners that his partner had taught him. "Please and thank you." The knight Digimon chuckles and says, "What were you doing by the way?" Guilmon says, "Trying to make Grani more comfortable."
Gallantmon looks thought full as he eyes the hole. Then the mega level Digimon nods slowly. "That just might work. You were going to do the same on the other side, I believe?" The knight asks. Puzzled, Guilmon nods. "Good. I'll gather some log to set in this hole. You can start digging once more." The virus knight says.
As the knight Digimon moves off to find some trees, Guilmon watches the mega Digimon. Then shrugging, he moves to the other side and begins to dig once more. He trusts the knight Digimon to have a plan. He just hopes that Gallantmon knows where to find Guilmon Bread later for he is getting hungry.

A figure smiles as he looks at his newest followers. 'This world will bow before my might!' The Digimon thinks and then turns away, he needs his rest. It took a lot of energy, but he succeed in making it to this world. He lies down and tries to relax, for he knows he'll need all of his energy in the coming days. In time his following will increase and then he'll have his generals lead his army to victory. A cruel smile appears as he thinks of all the Digimon of this world bowing before him. But first he needs to rest, he doesn't have to worry about being attacked, his followers will keep him safe until he wakes.
(----Takato----)
He frowns as he wonders if anyone else heard the laughter he had during the time he was in pain. His thoughts are interrupted and he blinks as he watches a train Digimon appears. "It's Angler!" Takuya says. "Hello kenderla! Long time no see." The train Digimon says. "Nice to see you too, Angler." Koichi says, Kouji just nods in agreement with a small smile on his face.
"Also this is Takato, he's just visiting." Takuya says before heading towards the cars connected to the Trailmon. "Nice to met you." Angler says and he grins. "Nice to met you too, Angler. Thanks for coming to pick us up." He says, then he follows the teens into the car.
Once they're sat down, they felt a jerk and then slowly Angler begins to speeds up. He looks out the window and watches the scenery as they move to their destination. He turns to look at the others and notices that Kouji was already lying down on the bench. He glances at the other two and find that they're mimicking Kouji. He shrugs and continues to look out the window.
In time he gets bored and takes out a pad of paper and a pencil. He then sat cross-legged as he begins to sketch. He glances over at each other teens to recheck certain details to make sure he is getting the details right. He continues on, sketching them in different poses and also on the shading.
He doesn't know how long he's been drawing and is startled when he hears Kouji says, "That pretty good. I like how you caught the look in Takato's eyes." He looks startled at the older boy. Kouji was in front of him and he looks embarrassed. "Thanks. I've had a few years of practice." He says. Kouji nods as he says, "And it shows. Mind if I take a look through the others you did?" He hands the pad over and he yawns. He puts the pencil away and then lies down. Between the movement of the car and him being tired, he slowly drifts off to sleep on the bench.
To be continued …
