Everyone wanted to search for Jason, but they knew they couldn't. They spent three days of traveling with no sign of Jason.
Jason had actually been staying ahead of them, making sure no one would attack them. He stopped two attacks and hid the digieggs. By the end of the first week, Jason was a mile ahead of them.
Rei was the only one who remembered the D-X radar, as they called it. She had been keeping track of him. But when he got about a mile away, she got worried. She snuck off in the middle of the night by herself and found him.
Jason was on guard as Rei came through the bushes. As soon as he saw her, he relaxed. "Rei what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I snuck off. We're worried about you, Jason," Rei said.
Jason took off his ring. "Take this. When I'm ready to come back, I'll come and get it." Jason told her.
She took the ring and smiled. She then put it in her pocket and left.
A familiar laugh filled the area. Jason sat back down the fire. "What do you want Nosa?" Jason asked the laugh.
"I'm just having some fun. I see you've got a girlfriend." Nosa teased.
"Not yet. She's just a friend. And besides, that's none of your business. And what business do you have with me?" Jason asked.
"Well, you're no fun. Anyways, I'm supposed to find out more about you," Nosa said.
"Now, why would I tell you about me?" Jason asked.
"Well, I can't say I don't find you interesting. Of course, that's probably because I AM you," Nosa said.
"You know you're really annoying. I don't blame Darklordmon for sending you out on pointless missions," Jason said.
This annoyed Nosa. "Just you wait till Darklordmon's project is finished. You'll besorry," Nosa said before running off.
Day came soon enough and Jason had no sleep. However, he was more awake than he had been in days. He waited in the trees with Velocimon until the group passed. Unfortunately, they stopped in the opening Jason had stayed in the night before. Jason was surprised that Velocimon was very agile in trees. Jason and Velocimon watched until only Gre was the only one awake. They jumped down startling Gre.
"Jason!" Gre said.
Jason quickly hushed him. "Listen. Darklordmon is cooking something up. I don't know what it is but it doesn't sound good," Jason told Gre.
"Thanks, but why did you run off?" Gre asked.
"I'm afraid I might hurt you. Look what I did to Warriormon," Jason said.
"That wasn't you. It was…" Gre started, but Jason interrupted.
"You're wrong. Nosa is a part of me. He's part of my subconscious put into human form. The only difference between us is that he serves Darklordmon. It's because of him that I'm dangerous. I'll keep a watch over you guys from a distance, but just make sure everyone stays safe, especially Rei. I know she worries about me," Jason said.
Jason took off into the forest and Velocimon followed.
Gre sighed heavily. Basically, Jason put him in charge. It was going to be a rough morning when everyone woke up. Gre woke Rei and told her about Jason's visit. She then told him about her visit to him. Together, they would find a way to bring Jason back to the group.
