For now I didn't want to leave Alice I hoped she would wake up soon but didn't know if she would.
"You go on ahead Tsuji take Strabimon with you just in case."
I sat and watched over Alice wondering what I should do next.
"I feel I should be here when and if she wakes up."

[D'ßláck-です]

"...uh...."
Alice had at last oped her eyes only to see Tagimachi present....
"Persistent as usual... Tagimachi... I suppose your here for a reason...well spill..."

[xtheshadowrealmer]

"Join our club let us show you the world can be happy with multiple endings."
I waited for her response patiently.

[D'ßláck-です]

"Join...you..."
Alice wasn't surprised by the response he had given...
"Sigh...X'sama... The world is very big...why does it have to be encesed by thus club that your in...instead of me coming to you ..why don't you follow me...we could save this world together...and more importantly... Something about Tagimachi worries me. Haven't you noticed his ideas in digimon? They are unnatural... His methods in traveling to the digital world are sketchy... And then there's this club...there's more to It than meets the eye...it has a past... So can you really trust them...do you honesty expect me to follow them blind?
Well...Tagimachi...

[xtheshadowrealmer]

"I don't ask you to follow us at all I just want you to give us a chance."
She may not trust Tsuji but I did.

[D'ßláck-です]

"...X'sama... I need to talk to him..."
She struggled to get out of bed and headed toward the repair room...
"Alright people let's move it out!...ooohhh I can't wait....!"
"Tsuji-sama!!! Is it true!!! Is the finals really gonna be hosted in Japan!!!"
"Ah so you heard Hanahime... I figured you'd be excited..."
"Excited can't even begin to tell how happy I am!!!shopping in ropongo, seeing the ikebukuro lights, sushi in onomdesando!...eeeekkkkkk!!!"
"Sigh...you do know were there for a compititon right..."
"...all the cosplay I can handle..."
"Great I lost her---"
"Tsuji Haruto...!"
I turned to see Alice struggling to walk towards me...
"A-Alice should you be out of bed---"
"Just what are you after...."
"Look the whole cosplay thing was all---"
"This tournament, idiot!"
Tagimachi never got this treatment...
"So...you think that I'm after some big game huh...some ruse to rule the world? Well sorry to burst your bubble...but your mistaken... What I'm after is a normal life for me and the others...."
"Normal... Life...ha---"
"Its not surprising that you don't believe what I'm saying...but its the truth...I'm sure you noticed that our team is...diverse. Each of us have a past...a past that has haunted us for a long time...and for a while we were just fine with coping with it on our own...bit then we found each other... And from then on...we pushed each other in our weak points and turned them into advantages...they all made me strong...and made me come out of my shell...so I'm gonna do my best for them...by giving them a normal life...or at least as normal life as a scientists can give...I at least owe them that..."
"...a normal life..."
"You can choose to believe me or not...but that is all on you...now if you may excuse me..."
Alice stood there in shock...
"A normal...life? Is such a thing possible in a situation like this...dose he not know what danger this world is in? Is he blind to the enemies!?"
"Nope... Ali-san..."
"...you..."
"Tsuji-sama knows that we might have to deal with this problem sooner or later...but we'll all be there by his side cause we're his normal!"
"........"
"...Those two....are indeed peculiar... But they speak the truth..."
"You must be Julia...correct?"
"Indeed...now then...what will you do...what will be your normal..."
"I won't be normal... Until this world is safe...so....um...I guess... I'll---"
She walked over to Tagimachi and lightly grasped his hand with both of hers.
"I'll follow the beast fighter... To save this world..."

[xtheshadowrealmer]

All I could do was smile as I squeezed back.
" Ok now let's get you back to bed."
I picked her up and carryed her back to her bed in the infermary laying her down lightly.
"Did you get the answers you needed?"

[D'ßláck-です]

(A few days later...)
"Come on everyone! were gonna be late for the plane...!"
At last we were headed to the finals. Everything we had prepared for up until now was great knowledge in obtaining victory but we knew of the challenges...
"Now well find out who this Ikaku women really is..."
"Your right he does keep repeating the obvious..."
"Sigh...your input is not needed Alice..."
"Hurry!!! All the anime in the world is awaiting me...!"
"...this is gonna be a long trip..."
"Heeeeey wait up!"
Decided to invite Shiota and Alice part of our repair crew thought Alice argued about it to the end...
"Alright xross fighters...to Japan!!!"

[xtheshadowrealmer]

The ride to Japan was smooth noisy but smooth.
"Hana you know that all the anime's will be in Japanese right?"
I looked at Alice smiling.
"How can you not help but like these guys lol."
"Depends who she's with the good looking wolfman or you."
"Shut up Gabumon weregarurumon is not that hot."
We then started hitting each other playfully through the isle.

[D'ßláck-です]

To be honest I always wanted to go to Japan...
The history.
The scenery.
The anime...
Each of them had its own varied style that made it its own...and to me and Hanahime it was at last a dream come true to arrive here, however I also knew that we were on a mission.one of which was to identify the mysterious woman known as Ikaku sensei...
Was it really a coincidence that she warned us about that elecmon that day...
And to begin with why did she randomly show up at our place...
None of it was making sense and clearly I wasn't going to solve it now...
"Ohayo!!!"
"We were face to face with our travel guide"
"Haruto-kun desu ka"
"....uh...oh...Hai, Haruto desu"
"Ah soka, yakata...ano...Hajimemashite!!!"
"Hajimemashite!"
"Hmmm...how about this is this better?"
"Much better thanks!"
"Well of you didn't know Japanese all that good you could have said so from the beginning..."
"Well I do but...call me nervous..."
"Soka...anyway well I'm Megumi its a pleasure to meet you...Xross fighters."
"Oh it sounds like you know us well."
"Of course I'm a big fan of you guys!!! And especially your friends here!!"
"Wow your not surprised to see them?"
"Have you seen what we make these guys will fit right in!"
"That's a relief..."
"Anyway we'd better get you guys settled in your gonna be here for a while so follow me!"
It was a big relief to see that we were so easily accepted by Megumi. Slowly everything was coming together...

(Meanwhile....)
"Darling... Have they arrived yet..."
"Yes the members of the xross fighters have just arrived..."
"Good...now then...let's continue with the operation...Darling..."

[xtheshadowrealmer]

"Well that was a long ride."
Me and gabumon would walk off the plain both looking beat up having fought during most of the ride we then saw Tsuji talking to our guide.
"Well at least we know where to go. Come on Alice they might leave us behind at this rate."

[D'ßláck-です]

Looking at the city I was amazed that they packed so much onto this island...
"Ekkkkk!!! Look cosplay cafe... That really exist! Oh and look there's A.B.Z that's my favorite show!!! Ahhh there's a catgirl---"
"Hanahime!"
It was going to be a long ride but I was excited to. There was so much to see in so little time. But at least we were able to get to the hotel to start.
"Alright folks...here's your hotel. Males get one room females the other...got it!?"
"Hey don't look a me...hey!!"
*poof.....*
"Ahh to bad..Tsuji-sama...."
"HANAHIME!!!"
*Rumble*
"Sigh...those two...anyway let's go Alice well find our room together... Tagimachi as soon as those two settle down and all of you find your rooms let us know..."
"Ugh quit pushing..!"
Julia took Alice to a separate elevator.
"Well looks like this is gonna be a long week eh Mr. Tagimachi?"
"Ha what a lively bunch... Oh youth....
" both Gio and Megumi laughed!"

[xtheshadowrealmer]

I smiled and waved to the girls. And tried to calm down Tsuji and Hana. Gabumon laughed like crazy as we all ran around like idiots.
"Ok Hana stop we need to get to our rooms and yes your considered a girl chaos will be with us while your with Julie and Alice. Our room will be crowded as is."

[D'ßláck-です]

"Noooooooo I wanna stay with Tsuji-sama!!!"
It was about five minutes before we settled things down...
"Pheh...finally...
we had bunk beds placed so me Tagimachi, strabimon, Gio, and Shiota could bunk...but I was glad they gave us this suite!
" whoa!!! This town hasn't changed at all! I can't wait to-"
"Hold on Shiota... First things first...we have to get to the shop for the repairs..."
"Awww fine..."
Yeesh we have a whole two weeks why is everyone getting so hyped up...
*knock knock...*
"That must be Megumi..."
"Hey everyone... I just came up to give you the keys to the shop. I'll be downstairs as soon as you guys are settled in!"
"Alright thanks!"

[xtheshadowrealmer]

Strabimon decided to talk. "Am I really needed for the repairs?"
"Yes lazy now let's go before Hana trys to break into the room."
"Wish she would break into my room."
I looked at Gabumon in shock.
"Since when have you felt that way?"
"For quite awhile."
