The two Digimon breathed a sigh of relief as they poked their heads out of the bushes and saw Mammothmon had passed. "That is one nasty Digimon..." Said Dracomon, looking back at the humans. "Nasty? What do you mean?" Asked Dustin. "Mammothmon is the guardian of this sector of the Digital World... if you could call him that..." Said Dracomon, Dorumon cutting in. "He's part of Susanoomon's Army. They... well... I don't want to make you scared..." Said Dorumon, causing the curiosity in the humans to mount. "What?" They asked. "Well... Susanoomon believes that Humans are... bad... and wants to hunt them down... ANY in the Digital World." She said. The two humans sat there for a moment, speechless.

"It's because of that thought that this... Digital Civil War... has broken out here in our world." Said Dracomon. "You see, I'm on the side that believes the humans can help us. As soon as I'm able to, I'm going to join the Resistance of Light and Hope, they're the main group fighting Susanoomon and the Digital Army." He said. The humans continued trying to process what they said. "So... to get things straight... there's some kind of Civil War going on... one side likes humans, the other doesn't... and you're with the side that likes them, Dracomon?" Asked Dustin.

"Yep, that about sums things up." He said. Luna looked over to Dorumon. "What about you? You don't seem against us..." She said, Dorumon hanging her head. "Well... I can't really remember..." She said. "Yeah, I found Dorumon out here in Sector 14 a few weeks back. She's got almost complete amnesia." He said. "Amnesia... you mean she can't remember anything?" Asked Dustin. "Yeah... well... I remember a few things... basic things... no memories from before Dracomon found me though..." She said. "So for now... I'm staying with him until I can figure out who exactly I am." She finished.

Mammothmon decided to let the human and traitor say their part before deleting them. It was always fun to listen to a traitor try to worm their way out of execution. When the poorly put on charade of this clearly human actually being a Digimon and having been attacked by one, Mammothmon played along for a bit. "Oh no, a human on the attack?! I must warn all my men, they could be in danger... except you're lying." He said. He took a step forward.

"I may not be the brightest, but I have perfect memory. There is no Digimon that goes by DelsonGreymon that has entered, or been in, Sector 14." He stated. He took another step forward. "Susanoomon never said the Humans were a danger by themselves... they were to be partnered with Digimon, that was where their strength would come from." He stated again. This time he took two steps forward. "And from the way you were speaking, you find see our world as if it were a game. I can tell you now, you are so wrong..." He said, those two steps became four, then eight, then sixteen. He was now in a full blown charge. "It's almost a shame you won't live long enough to fully realize that!" He aimed his charge towards the Human and Traitor. Both would perish here and now.

[Top of tree]

Knowing he couldn't stay up there Wessel saw no other option than to head back down and hope the mutant dog had either left or wasn't interested in disintegrating him. He carefully made his way back to the ground but long before he was done, he saw that the dog was still waiting for him. Since he had made his decision he kept going down despite the danger.

Eventually he set foot on the forest floor again and wasn't immediately attacked something he took as a good sign. "Listen I have no idea what is going on here, one moment on Earth and the next I was in his crazy forest."


[Bottom of Minomon's tree]

Gaomon waited impatiently for the strange Digimon to come back down, and got rewarded when he spotted it's figure in the distance coming closer Before long the stranger set foot on the ground and mentioned something about Earth. "Earth?! In that case you must be a human. Commander Mammothmon will be interested in meeting you." Before the human could say or do anything the dog Digimon used rolling upper to hit him in the chest and knock him out. Dragging the unconscious human along Gaomon set off for sector 14.

[Forest - Sector 14]

The two of them reached soon the clearing where Mirko woke up. There wasnt anything much, the crisp air few trees, definatly no clues on a way home. "Hm... nothing here." Candlemon concluded sounding a bit disappointed.
"I did say there was nothing around me."

"Well it was worth checking it, just in case."

"Where do you think we should go from here?"

"Hm... In that direction is more of a icy place and I know of a really big tree maybe on top of it we could see something... and in that direction I know is a cliff." The rookie pointed around, picking one direction and starting to jump in it. Mirko following him a step behind.
"You really know this sector."

"I scouted it, in search for friends."

They walked for a while Mirko yawned, he started to feel the toll of skipping half his sleep last night. If he had known he would land a unknow world with apparent digimon creatures around he would have went early to bed and got at least ten hours of sleep.

"Are you hungry?"

"A bit."

Mirko stopped and started to search inside his bag, pulling out a nice plastic yellow box. His lunch box. Opening it he saw a big bacon sandwich and several caramel bonbons. This was sure to give him energy for the rest of the day. He saw the digimon watching him with big curious eyes occasionally sniffing the air. The young boy grinned taking the bacon sandwich and breaking it on half offering one to the rookie. "Lets share, my mom made me the lunch box. And I think its time around lunch, kinda."

Candlemon took the offered food and bit in it, the reaction was hilarious to Mirko. The digimon face shined up and he started to jump around like crazy. Humming prize how delicious it was. Mirko eat his sandwich in few quick bites himself commenting there was rarely anything better than bacon. The reaction to caramel bonbons was even better. Candlemon really loved the sweet threat.

"Does all food taste this good in your sector?"

"I would say most of it. But you are weird for being this happy about it." Mirko just packed the box back, feeling energized thanks to the sugar. Instead of continuing on his friend the digimon was suddenly stiff. His little flame face was looking off to the side somewhere in concentration.
Candlemon grabbed Mirko suddenly and pulled him behind a thick tree. The wax arm pressed against Mirko mount to stop any possible noise. Mirko could smell the wax strongly and confusedly tried to look behind at the rookie digimon. This was strange and it worried the boy. He froze once he heard some steps. Running. Two weird things were approaching the place they eat at. From the corner of his eyes he could only tell it was a green and white digimon. Their voices reaching them first as they approached.

"...came for you, the moment I overheard it."

"Are you sure thats it was a human?"

"Must be, I heard Mammothmon voice echo calling them that. They even had some device that proved them to be it."

"The traitor digimon is so going to die by stomp. A worthy watch!"

"Yes! Stinky outsider and traitor! Hurry I dont want to miss it..."

The voices keep on talking but Mirko couldnt understand anymore what was being said. They got too far away. Yet the boy stayed still even when Candlemon let go of him to peek around.
"Lets move in the opposite direction than them." The digimon voice cheering up as he jumped in the direction he said, away from where those digimon went. "Come on Mirko, They were busy and didnt spot us. No need to be scared." Candlemon assumed Mirko stillness was due to fear and not due to realization that was dimming to the boy now. The rookie returned and grabbed Mirko's hand dragging him back into the woods. Mirko was thinking his mind whirling. He let the digimon lead him. The two voices echoed in his ears, replaying the snippet of conversation he heard. He pulled out his pocket the dark red device and stared at it. After some short time Mirko spoke not razing his eyes from the device.
"Candlemon."

"Yes?" The data digimon turned his head and flame to look at the boy, slowing down.

"Say are those outsiders you told me about called humans?"

Candlemon shrugged turning back to go on, one wax hand still holding Mirko's. "Dont know. For all I care they can call himself bilbosmon. It really doesnt matter."

Mirko stopped, all but planting himself in place, pulling his hand away from candlemon confusing the digimon. "I think it matters." Mirko said, unable to make himself look at Candlemon, instead opting to stare at the device compass as if it would magically whisk him back home. It didnt.
"I dont see how?" Candlemon said tilting his head the flame face was now frowning. "What is wrong Mirko? You started behaving weird since we avoided those two digimon. Well more weird, not the fun type weird."

Mirko finger pressed the button on the device changing the screen to the snow covered one. Just to do something and not look at his digimon friend. The other told him the army would kill anyone associating with the outsiders when he explained the fractions to him. If humans were the outsiders Candlemon spoke off, than... he was putting candlemon in danger.

"I can go from here on my own. You dont need to help me anymore." He didnt want to hurt his friend or be the cause of his friend death. It was a scary to even think that. He will figure this on his own. He had to, candlemon was already avoiding the war, running away from it since he lost his friend. Being with him would be ruining all of his friends efforts to live peaceful.
"Mirko. "The digimon said taking a loud breath in." Say that while you are looking at me." Candlemon tone was a serious one. Mirko still didnt look up, instead his hold on the device in his hand got stronger.

"I had fun today, but we cant travel together. Its best if we go separate ways."

"I told you I will help you get home.... or are you saying we arent friends anymore?"
There was a flatter in the digimons serious voice. Mirko felt really bad, he didnt want to make him sad. He liked him, he was fun and weird.

"No... I... dont want to be with you because we are friends."

Mirko honestly was hoping the digimon would hear in his voice that he meant they were friends. He couldnt have told him they werent. Mirko could imagine how hurt that would make Candlemon. What he said must have irritated the rookie, as it reached out taking the red device out of Mirkos hand and jumping away.

"Stop staring at this stupid thing. Will you look at me! "

"Candlemon give that back!" Mirko jumped after Candlemon trying to get the device back. He failed as the white digimon with ease side jumped him. Mirko ended up on the forest floor, moving on his knees he look to the side where Candlemon was. The digimon could see just then that something was definitely not right with his friend. He jumped backwards keeping himself out of the boys reach.

"Not until you tell me whats made you so sullen."

This time Mirko only briefly looked away before facing Candlemon, the flame eyes were set on him while the eyes belonging to the the wax body looked down at the device with the snow screen. The young kid didnt know what to do but to tell what bothered him. Maybe than his friend will leave him and be safe? If he understood it... maybe even having candlemon hate for not saying he was human would be better.

"The two digimon... " Mirko tried but wasnt sure how to say it. He tried again. He owned candlemon to be honest for his kindness. "The outsiders are called humans."
"Yes and?"

"Ember vagyok." Mirko said biting his lip, the flame face frown got deeper.

"What does that mean?"

The next words Mirko spoke in a whisper just loud enough for Candlemon who was paying attention to catch them. "It translates to, I am human." There was silence and Mirko could not take the heaviness of it. "I think the device they mentioned is the one you are holding. Having that proves I am human...I didnt try to hide that I was just never thinking that it was important to mention it. It wasnt on my mind." Mirko watched as candlemon turned the device in his hands around. Observing it from all sides.

"So... If we destroy this, no one will recognize you to be human, right? There will be no proof. You will not be in danger than, right?"
The rookie calmly said and Mirko jumped on his feet "What!" Yet the human boy didnt try to lunge this time at the digimon.

"No, you cant do that!"

Then the waxs body eyes looked up as well at Mirko. The boy realized how both pair of eyes staring at him felt scary. Serious in a way that would cause shivers. "It would keep you safe." The data digimon said and Mirko twitched at the words. He felt tired and spent, the lack of sleep from this morning was catching up to the boy. His mind slower.
"I told you that I think that thing got me here. If you destroy it I may be stuck here." Mirko could see it than that Candlemon was thinking. He was completely still, even the flame looked still at that moment. It felt eerily outworldly. Mirko felt completely at the loss of words or what to do.

"I decided."
Mirko could have sworn that only the flame spoke those words. He waited. The rookie digimon now grinned. "Dont you want to know what I decided?" He spoke in a teasing and poking fun voice. It felt like a day and night contrast on the seriousness from before.

"Um... What did you decide?" Mirko asked as prompted.

"I decided that I absolutely do not care if you are a human, or an outsider, or whatever."
Mirko blinked, now it was him who was being confused by the others action.
"But... being with me is putting you in danger. You said who is helping the outsiders the army see them as traitors."
Candlemon jumped closer till he was leaning into Mirko face with his wax face. "I promise you now that I will protect you. I will help you get home. That is something I want to do. Because you are my friend. You even shared your mothers food with me. I like you, you are fun to be around."

Mirko was staring for a moment, than the sullen and panicked face was replaced with a truly happy one. "Thank you." The boy started and he was about to say something else as well, but just then the device still in candlemon hand started to glow and the snow covered screen was replaced with a picture of the rookie with words and numbers beside it.

"Why did it do that?" Mirko asked staring now together with his friend at the device and the picture of Candlemon on it.

"You are asking me? You better take it. It is obviously as weird as you are. And do not show it to anyone at all." The rookie instructed giving the device back. Mirko put it back in his pocket. With his other hand he rubbed his eyes. Getting the sleep and some unshed tears away. Without a word more candlemon lead the way once more and Mirko followed after him. This time the digimon was looking for a good place to have them rest. This day was tiring for both of them. After a few minutes of a comfortable silence Mirko tapped the digimon shoulder whispering. "What should we do if we meet another like me?"
"We will think about that when we meet them. Which is highly unlikely."

"What do you mean? I'm a digimon, like you! Never met your kind before though. You kinda look pretty like Angewomon, but no wings!" Monodramon said, flapping his winged arms to underline his point. "I am monodramon!" he introduced himself, eyes glued to the fur Katya was wearing.

Katya was getting more and more confused by the second. Perhaps the pain in her head was not caused by this... Monodramon... landing on her head, put perhaps seeing this bizarre scene was the result of a head wound. If only she could remember where she acquired one? Last thing she knew of was getting up in the morning. After that - well, she was obviously dressed for going outside, but when and why she could not recall. Was she hit by a car? She imagined she would be in a coma and not dreaming if hat was the case.

Perhaps she died? No. She refused to believe that.

"Are you just gonna stand there?"

"Hm? Oh, sory. I vos in thought. Vot is dis place? Vhere are vee?" She asked. Hallucination or not, it couldn't hurt to ask about her bearings. Katya noticed the digimon's eyes were glued to one of her garments. Thing she could earn herself a favor, she slid out of it and wrapped it over the little dragon's shoulders. "Now you preetty to. And I am no deegimon, I am human."

"Ew, what's wrong with your mouth-" Monodramon started when he heard the thick accent the Humon possessed, but his words died when he was gifted the beautiful fluffy warm thing. After a while of ooh and aah-ing, he remembered the question: "This is my home. What is a Humon? I must have slept through that class. School is boring. I want to fly!"

"Where is your home?" Katya asked, fixing the way she spoke. It was an annoying quirk of her mind to always slip into her mother tongue when stressed out.

"Right here!"

"Yes but where is 'here'?"

"The digital world!"

"What is that?"

"My home!"

Katya bit her lip in frustration. This creature seemed to be rather... dense. No wonder, if he slept through school as he claimed.

"Are you hungry Humon?"

Katya's head snapped up from her thoughts. She did feel a hungry pit in her stomach. "I am... And call me Katya."

The little dragon than took her hand and started leading her somewhere. "I hope you like fish, Katyamon!"

@Ninian@Shiny Keldeo
The mammoth immediately caught on the the awful acting, causing the boy to react in kind by re-assuming a nimble pose and snorting. "Congratulations, you're smarter than you look. But apparently not smart enough to see how wrong you are about war."

The intellectual high school student went on to completely ignore the babble being spouted by the approaching beast, instead bending over to quickly snatch the grey walkie-talkie from the grass and shake his head. Maybe it's the goal of the game to partner with one of the Digimon factions, and lead them to win the war....I don't really want to pick any side, but I may need to if I'm being hunted by one of the larger factions.... A somewhat uncomfortable frown came over his face as he looked at the device. That's....really strange that they would actually bring mention to the fact that I called this a 'game'...Usually video games aren't as aware of those sort of comments, but maybe that just goes to show how versatile the dialogue is....

"I'm not dying here. You're dreaming if you think you're gonna kill me."

The words came out of Delsin's mouth with a hint of snark as he was about to run off, but something caused him to pause, and look back into the eyes of the terrified fox creature that had attempted to save him. The time around him seemingly moving in slow motion. What am I doing!? She's just an NPC...Just an entity in a game....I don't need to save her, she'll probably just respawn later....But...She did help me, even though she didn't want to be involved....It's my fault she got caught up in it... The boy grit his teeth. ....Maybe if I save her, I could win over a few more NPCs to help me....Or something.

With the small grey and white radio in hand, the bookworm grabbed Renamon by the arm with the same hand and tugged her into running along with him. "Don't just stand there! Let's get out of here!"

Dragging the Digimon along, Delsin sprinted forward, running head on to the approaching ice age beast before changing his angle a bit to run past the giant's side and escape into the trees. "We should be able to lose him easily if we make sharp turns and cut through the thicker brush. Huge animals like that suck at turning on a dime." He'd comment in attempts to somewhat ease the nerves of both himself, and his attempted saviour as they sprinted through the woods.

[By the frozen pond - Sector 14]

Candlemon lead them both close to a cliff, the earth started to have more snow as they came closer to the place he set out for. They broke out from the tree line and were meet with a ice covered pond. This was the place he looked out for. They could stay here safe for a while. But first, the data digimon took a breath and jumped in place calling out.
"Lava Loogie" A flame was created and launched towards the ice surface. The moment it came in contact with the ice it exploded, the heat melting the ice in a hole shape.
"What was that!?" His friend called out eyes big.

"My attack, I am sure there are fishes under the ice. So made a hole." The digimon grinned, before shaking his head. "You cant do it?" He asked curiously watching as Mirko shock his head. Candlemon listened as the boy commented how it was pretty cool to be able to shot fire and how somehow it made sense.

"You are your own fireplace?" In the end concluded Mirko with a clap of his hands.

"I never had the need to make one for just myself."

"So I just hug you to stay warm." Mirko moved closer hugging the waxs body, Candlemon was about to say something but froze in place. His eyes on the flame a top of his head started to look around. "Was that rustling?" He said more to himself than to Mirko.

@Forsythe

"...and then I jumped and then I landed on you!" a voice explained form behind the undergrowth enthusiastically, as if it was a little proud of the fact. Another voice groaned behind it.

"Explains the headache." The other voice noted, "Probably amnesia too."

"I said I was soooooorry!"

"Ok, ok! Not so loud please!"

Monodramon brushed aside one final branch that blocked their way. "We're here!"

Soon afterwards Katya walked onto the snowed in ice and almost lost her balance. She could see her breath condensing before her and was glad for her winter wear. That was not to say it didn't suffer terribly dragging through the thick undergrowth, but it was better that than freezing out here. "Da. Feels the same as home though." she said as she looked around at the white plain. Her eyes stopped whens he noticed two things that weren't colored white as everything else around seemed to be (not that she was any different). What interested her was the human she spotted along with the overgrown living candle. "We are not alone."

"Huh? I can't see!" Monodramon said, trying to jump higher to get a better view, only to gasp in surprise when Katya scooped him up to her arms and raised him to her chest level. She set off towards the other two at slow pace, careful not to slip up on the ice under the snow.

After a bit more conversing, the Digimon explained to the humans what was going on in their world as best as they could. "That's so sad..." Said Luna. "So this... Council... can't they do anything?" Asked Dustin, Dracomon shaking his head no. "The Council hasn't been seen or heard from since the Fall of Sector Zero, where Susanoomon raided their stronghold." Said Dracomon.

"And we're supposed to help end this war, somehow?" Asked Luna. "How can two kids end an entire Civil War?" Dorumon shrugged. "I don't know either, but I know one thing, there's got to be more humans here than just you." She answered. "Yeah, I heard the Council sent out tons of those devices into the Human World."

A bone chilling breeze swept past the group, causing the two humans to shiver. "Are you two cold?" Asked Dracomon. "Well, they don't have thick scales or fur like you or me, I'd assume so. I think there was a settlement over near a bunch of frozen ponds and lakes nearby, we might be able to stay there." The two humans nodded. "Getting out of the cold would be nice." Said Dustin. "Alright, then follow us, but stay low, this sector is heavily controlled by The Digital Army." Said Dracomon, he and Dorumon peeking out and waving the humans to follow.

[Digital World - Sector 14]

The Human grabbed Renamon and charged him, playing what seemed like a game of chicken. At the last second, he veered off and took off into the woods. Mammothmon skidded to a halt, turning as quickly as he could, having lost sight of the Human and Traitor by the time he reached the treeline. "You won't escape that easily!" He yelled. "TUSK CRUSHER!" He then began uprooting trees left and right, boring a path straight through the forest. "Frigimon, split up and find them. Search the area for other humans as well, and report back to me if you find them!" He called out.

Several large forms emerged from the snowy ground, appearing to be Snowmen. These were Frigimon, Adult Digimon, also known as Champion Level, who serve Mammothmon and the Digital Army. "Yes, Commander!" They said together and then set off on their searches for the Humans.

[Sector 14]

It took a while but Gaomon had finally reached sector 14, now he just had to find Mammothmon and turn the human in. Fortunately that part seemed to be easier than he expected as he could see trees being uplifted, by what he assumed had to be the Digital Army commander. Not caring about the fact that he exposed the human to extreme cold by dragging him through the snow he set off towards his goal.

He had never actually met Mammothmon before, nor was he a member of the army because as Wanyamon he was too weak to join, but Gaomon had no intention of letting humans decide the fate of his world. Though he did wonder why they were considered so important if they all were as weak as the one with him.



Wessel had regained conscious due to sudden cold of the snow but as uncomfortable as being dragged around was, he decided to endure and wait for the right moment to escape. After all he had no idea what his captor was capable off. All he knew about the weird dog was that it could talk, hated humans, transformed in to it's current state. and was surprisingly strong for it's size. But at least two of those also applied to that bagworm earlier so maybe everything on this planet was the same.

He evntually spotted another human runnging through a snow covered forest accompanied by some weird fox in the disance heading the opposite direction. The fox didn't seem to have any intention of harming the human so it probably didn't know what he was. He wanted to shout for help but he had no idea if they were interested in helping or even if they could. Also he would reveal he was awake to the dog and it might inform inform the fox about the species of it's travel partner, so he decided to give his fellow human a better chance and stayed quiet.

[By the frozen pond - Sector 14]

Mirko was the first to react when a young woman came out from the treeline. He opted to stick with english as everyone spoke it. Including this world inhabits. Even if he did had an accent because of his first language, it was well enough understood.

"Hello! Did you recently arrived here, too? I am Mirko."

"-mon. I am Candlemon, my friend Mirkomon is new to the sector." The digimon spoke over his human friend. Looking at the curious pair in front of them. Mirko was more curiously looking at the digimon in her arms. It was looking a bit like a dinosaurios. Now he truly wondered how diverse digimon forms can be.

"Dont worry candlemon, she is like me.So no danger." The human said to his partner who confusedly looked at him then looking over to the blond girl. Mirko assumed that her being human would mean they were in the same mess together in it. It made him happy to have come across her, or she has come across them. She was definatly older than him, maybe a collage student, the boy wondered to himself.

"No she isnt you are way shorter and way less blond than her. You are like a baby level." Candlemon nodded all knowingly and Mirko felt like falling over, but instead to claim he will get his growth spurt he Turned to the woman again. "Sorry about him. From where did you came?"

...I guess this is it. Letting out a sigh, she was going to resign herself when she felt a tug. It was Delsin. "W-What are you doing!? We can't outrun him, and I can't fight him! Do I look like I can—" The teenager cut her off, explaining how they could potentially lose him. "I mean, maybe!? He can mow down any of the larger trees just by existing, it's really not going to be all that easy. Our only hope would be if we were near a volcano... which we're not by the way."

Pulling her arm from Delsin's grip, Renamon let out a huff. "Even if we 'lose' him, he can see and hear into the distance. Pretty sure he's clairvoyant, so we're just screwed no matter what. Seriously, Volcano is really our only option. Or uh... well he's an Ultimate so if we found someone really strong willing to help us..." At this point she was babbling. They were both so, utterly screwed.

[Sector 14 - Forest Biome → Frozen Pond]

@Ninian@Shiny Keldeo@TalijaKey@Forsythe@Duthguy
The arm slipping out of his grip caused the currently sprinting teen's head to snap to the side to roll his eyes at the negative fox before looking back to the path ahead of his and focusing on brushing foliage and branches away from his face. "Are you always so damn pessimistic? If you keep thinking like that, you're defiantly gonna die. We're not screwed. You should focus on what we can realistically do instead of thinking that volcanoes are the only means of countering him. Finding someone strong could work, but there's also the chance that the strong one might try to kill us too. We need to be careful."

Then the booming voice of the ice age creature echoed out through the trees, causing Delsin to groan in distaste as he took a sharp right turn. "Did he seriously just call out his attack? Ugh...He better not start rapping too."

Then, all of a sudden, the air around the duo seemed to noticeably drop in temperature. The students emerald gaze drifting around the snowy area of forest that the two had ran into. Snow? But....The clearing I woke up in was a warm climate, as if it were summer or spring. How could there be such a cold biome right next to a green forest?..... Shaking his head, he completed the thought. Right. It's not real. It's just a game.

The optimistic teen took another sharp left turn, looking back and confirming that Renamon was following him as he ran out into another snowy clearing. This one containing a large, frozen pond whose ice sparkled in the sunlight. Delsin put a hand over his eyes and scanned the perimeter of the area, spotting nothing but a tiny group of what he assumed to be Digimon to the north east, and a few sunken tree branches trapped in the icy water. "Hm....That ice should be just thick enough..."

Swiftly spinning on his feet, the teenager dashed back to the trunk of a formidable tree. Dropping the small grey device in his pants pocket before he reached up to grab at one of the larger low hanging branches. The limb was slightly broken at the base, which allowed him to rip the thing from the tree with a bit of effort. The student brought the tip of the branch near his hand to inspect it's pointed tip. It's sharp....That thing may have a mask and armored trunk, but the rest of it's body is exposed....It's better than nothing.

Putting a firm grip on the make-shift spear, Delsin looked to Renamon and pointed out across the iced liquid with the hardy stick. "I have two plans. We could run on top of the ice to the other side of the clearing to put a gap between us and that monster, since it would most likely hold us but crack under his weight and it would take longer for him to go around it, or we could try our luck with that group on the shore over there. Each one is risky, but I don't have time to think of anything else unless you got something that doesn't involve volcanoes."

They'd gotten a good head start on him, the trees were being a real pain to topple and toss out of the way. He'd completely lost sight of them, and decided to stop and rethink his options. "I should go back to Base 14 and contact Lord Susanoomon... but what would he say if I told him I'd let the human escape?!" He thought, the image playing through in his head.

"YOU LET THE HUMAN ESCAPE!? YOU OAF!" Yelled Susanoomon as his fist came through the screen picking Mammothmon up by the scruff of his neck and deleting him on the spot.

Mammothmon shook his head and erased the thoughts from his mind. "No, I'll capture the human, if I don't kill him first, and bring him to Lord Susanoomon! Maybe I'll get a promotion, or even better, a Digivolution to Mega! That would be a dream come true!" He thought. With that thought in mind, he continued bashing every tree out of his way.

Meanwhile, the Frigimon were still searching around stealthily for the human. One made his way to the edge of the treeline surrounding one of many frozen lakes and ponds. He caught sight of something, quickly reversing and taking great care not to be noticed. It wasn't just one human, there were several around the lake! With this information, he quickly retreated to inform Commander Mammothmon.

[Sector 14]

Despite his earlier objections to the idea Wessel decided that getting taken to whatever was uprooting those trees wasn't a good idea. Hoping to catch his captor unaware he picked up a heavy branch lying on the floor and quickly got up.

Goamon of course noticed the extra weight of the branch, not to mention that the human had gotten up. "When did yo...

He hit the dog on the head mid sentence, but it wasn't enough to knock the alien out. Still it did seem to leave it dazed so Wessel ran as fast as he could, away from the tree uprooter, in the direction he saw the other human.

While he was wondering if he should follow the human or continue heading to Mammothmon, Gaomon's prey put some decent distance between them, not that the Beast Digimon couldn't easily catch up though. Still he decided that informing the commander was more important, and besides he had evidence of his encounter in the form of that strange device the human dropped.

Unaware that he wasn't being followed Wessel ran as hard as he could, only stopping when he was completely out of breath. By that point he noticed the forest had made room for a bunch of frozen lakes and that the human he saw earlier was quite a ways in front of him, but at least he was in sight again. After catching his breath Wessel began jumping up and down and waving his arms around to draw the boy's attention. [color=39b54a*"Hey, you over there!!"*[/color]

It didn't take for Gaomon to come across Mammothmon. "Mammothmon, sir. I came across a human and I have proof." He showed the Ultimate Digimon the device which still displayed his face and stats on screen.

Mammothmon had finally stopped to take a breather from bashing through the forest. He was a big guy, and although he was used to the kind of work he was doing at the moment, it still wasn't easy. He heard a rustling in the bushes, turning as one of his Frigimon Soldiers emerged. "Commander, I've found a group of Humans, over near the Polaris Lakes!" He reported. "Good, there's very few places to run then, we'll have them cornered... unless the locals break their neutrality and help them." He replied, motioning to the Frigimon to prepare the others.

As he got to his feet, he heard a voice behind him. He turned to find a Digimon he did not recognize. He was not a part of the Digital Army, nor was he recorded entering Sector 14. This already aroused his suspicions. Then he went on to claim that he had found a Human. "And you let him escape?!" He was then shown the device. Upon seeing the Digimon's face on it, he knew he was being decieved.

"Do you honestly think I would be fooled by such a pathetic lie, you no good traitor!" He said, stomping his foot. "You're allied with them, I can see by the device you now hold! You held an air of suspicion the moment I knew you were here, I don't even know your name, but that won't matter..." He prepared to charge. "No one cares who a deleted Digimon was." He rushed forward towards the small blue Digimon.

It didn't take long for them to get noticed. Katya was immediately happy with the fact that the other human could speak in some language she could understand, or this would have been very, very awkward. The boy looked a good couple of years younger than herself, but she figured in here they were all equally as lost, regardless of age or what they might have been on Earth.

"Hello. My name is Katya." she greeted with a kind smile, although her eyes were wary of the digimon that accompanied Mirko and seemed to be protecting him. The good question is: What would he need protecting from, and should I be worried? she asked herself. "I wish I could tell you how long I've been here, but I don't even recall coming here. I remember the morning in my house and then it's just void. Could any of you explain what is going on? This one-" she indicated towards Monodramon, "-Is not particularly helpful."

"Hey! This one can hear you and he has a name!" the little dragon protested, wriggling out of Katya's grasp and jumping down to the ice. "I'm Monodramon. I didn't see you around here before!" It seemed like he wanted to continue, but he never got further than drawing another breath before he turned his head in another direction. What is that noise? Are there more of these humons here?

[By the frozen pond - Sector 14]

Candlemon nodded to the human introduction as Katya, till now he assumed all humans would look like Mirko, a horde of Mirkos. NOw he knew better, humans came in variations. He slightly liked the idea of a horde of Mirko better. Especially if they all had caramel bonbons to share with him.

"I was on my way to school. There was a strong light before I got here. I was out as well for a while." Mirko explained to Katya, to her comment about the digimon that was with her he chuckled. Finding himself really lucky that Candlemon was helpful a lot... After they clear the misunderstanding about getting eaten. Watching as Monodramon jumped to introduced himself.

"That because I am not from this sector originally. I was on a search for friendly digimon." His digimon friend responded to the purple digimon, yet suddenly they fall silent. First Monodramon started to look around and then Candlemon flame started to turn around its eyes focusing on something. While the wax body was completely still the face on it getting a more worried expression.

"Its bad for you."His friend spoke and Mirko walked closer to Katya. " You were not told there is a war going on, or? " He explained quickly to her. "The army will execute anyone who associate with or is a human. So we have to hide that." As he spoke those words in english, his voice got heavier with the accent. Nearly as if he barely believed them himself. Yet he knew they had to be true as his friend would not lie about such a thing to him.

Than something in the distance was uprooting the trees, Mirko could see the tree tops swinging and falling over. At moments smaller tree trunks even were flung upwards. He wondered how strong that digimon, he assumed it had to be a digimon everything here was one, had to be. He heard Candlemon ask Monodramon. "Hey, that across the pond... what digimon is beside that Renamon?"

Mirko then looked over and sure enough there were two shapes, one was bright yellow, the other was looking like a teen, thought he couldnt be too sure. He did remembered they came from the direction Candlemon said that they had to avoid. There was a human in trouble in that direction wasnt it? "Can we somehow help them?"

He had no idea why Mammothmon was attacking him but he didn't waste any time trying to figure it out, instead focusing on dodging the Ultimate Digimon. He decided that the best thing he could do was to lead the Ancient Animal to where he though the humans were, maybe then he could convince him to let him join the Digital army.

Gaomon ran to where his captive escaped, occasionally looking back to see if Mammothmon was still following him and to be ready to dodge any attacks if necessary, only to find that the human was gone. Luckily he left tracks in the snow which the Digimon followed.



It seemed like the other human was either ignoring him or was out of hearing range. Seeing no other options Wessel got closer hoping the human's yellow companion wouldn't attack him like every other native of this world he had come across so far.

"No, I'm only pessimistic when there's something impossibly strong actively trying to kill me." Letting out a soft growl she continued along, looking around and doing her best to assess the situation. As far as she could tell, there wasn't much to work with.

Once they duo came upon a tree, she furrowed her brows as he played with one of the branches, Is he seriously trying to make a weapon out of that thing? With a small frown, she looked back towards the teen who had came up with two plans. "I don't recognize that group... I would say the ice would probably be our best option..."

Upon hearing the words "Hey you, over there!" Renamon turned to face the source of the noise. Lowering her voice, she spoke to her companion, "...Great, yet another human. We should worry about them later. I really can't babysit more than one at a time, anyway. If they want to run across the lake with us, great. Otherwise, they may be a welcome distraction."

The intellectual fifteen year old's attention was drawn to the shouting in the distance, eyes going wide at the sight of what looked to be another human teenager. ...Another player maybe?.....Online VR...Is....Is that even possible yet?

Delsin picked up on the lowered speech of his yellow furred companion, shooting her a quick nod as well as a narrowed, unamused gaze. He also kept his voice to a mere whisper. "I agree, but I wouldn't really say that you're babysitting me when I was the one that had to drag you away from the death that you were willing to just stand there and accept."

Turning his gaze back to the newcomer, the student gripped the makeshift spear tightly and waved over at him with a calm neutral expression. "Hey there. We'd love to chat, but we have a woolly mammoth back there that wants to murder us. That goes for all humans, and Digimon that associate with them. So if you wanna stay in this area and not get a shitty spawn point, I would suggest....coming...with...."

The black haired teen's voice trailed off as he felt something he never imagined he would sense in a place like where he assumed he was. His head slowly turned towards the stick tightly gripped in his left hand to spot the source of the 'sticky' sensation that he felt on his palm. A dark, thick, red liquid was creeping down the length of the pointed branch....And it was coming from his hand.

The color drained from the boy's face as he released his hold on his salvaged weapon. The stained piece of wood falling into the snow with a quiet pomf. Delsin brought his shaking hand up closer to his face to inspect the gash that disgraced his palm, and the chilling image of the blood that dripped down his hand and leaked onto the white powder beneath him. Everything around him seemed to pause, the gut wrenching realisation dawning on him along with a look of pure fear and horror spreading across his subtle features.

"We need to go. Right now."

In a blur of motion, the frazzled and disturbed teenager bent down to snatch the stick in his bleeding hand, and use the other to grab at Renamon's arm once again and make a mad dash across the frozen solid pond.
