"Do I hear a hint of jealousy in your voice Alice?"
I smiled even I hadn't seen Alice smile so happily. I wondered what I should do. I wondered if Alice liked me I was kinda confused.
"Here I'll walk you back to your room."

[D'ßláck-です]

"Ah...no...."
This was going nowhere everyone was distracted....
"Alright people if were that distracted well call it a day...honestly... I'd expect more from you people..."
"Well they are in Japan after all Tsuji..."
We had decided that we would rest for the rest of the day and enjoy the scenery.
"I'm gonna go investigate something, Gio mind coming with?"
"Of course..."
I was still curious about that woman, so I decided to seek her out...
"I heard that she lives around one of the school..."
"Your adamant about finding her huh..."
"Yes...there must have been a reason for her to bring you to us...I gotta find out!"

[xtheshadowrealmer]

Since it seemed Alice didn't want me around me and gabumon went and walked around town. Although Strabimon went to the room and slept.
"He's so lazy."
"Ya but I fell more like talking about you lovebirds."
"What are you talking about? "
I asked turning a corner.
"I think she likes you."
"Doubtful."
"That smile was huge."
"Probably the first time someone asked her out."
"Mhm lier."
I punched him and we laughed.

If only Hanahime were here to see what I witnessed at thus very moment. As it turns out Japanese students do indeed wear uniforms...sailor uniforms...
"Well looks like I lost that bet..."
"Ewww look at that kid over there...no uniform or anything..."
"Sigh...I guess I stick out..."
Well it didn't matter. I had to track down this Ikaku sensei as soon as possible...
"Will we be able to find her Mr.Haru?"
"I dunno but rumor says that she works here..."
"Oh...may I help you?"
It was a student from the school...
"Oh um...were looking for a person by the name of...Ikaku..."
"Oh...your looking for Ikaku sensei...."
"Uh...is there a problem?"
"Well unless you know her...she can be a tad overwhelming the first time you meet her..."
"Trust me...its very important that we find her..."
"Well okay...she went around the back pathway..."
"Thanks..."
I was peculiar that people spoke of her like she was...abnormal, however seeing her in that outfit was strange to say the least... Bit I had to know...call it a hunch but she did know something we didn't...
"Ah...look at the scenery Mr. Haru its amazing..."
"Yeah...all these sakura trees blooming at this...wait..."
If I recalled correctly they don't Bloom until spring...!
"Oh no---"
"Ugggh...."
Gio fell to the floor crouching in pain...
"Well this isn't a good thing for a digimon like that..."
"Its...you...!"
The woman who stood before us wore the same fist and leg armor as before...but also bore the schools uniform on top.
"Ikaku sensei..."
"At last we meet...Tsuji Haruto... Am I ever so pleased that you've been taking care of Gio...I am ever greatful..."
"So it was you who warned me about that elecmon... But why...!"
"Hmmm simple...to awaken the gods of course..."
"Gguuuhhhhhh....!"
As gio knelt down in pain Ikaku sensei pulled out a digivice...
"I suppose we'd better begin...sorry Haruto darling but we need to speed this up as soon as possible..."
"That's the b/d system...!"
"Yes...people aren't the only thing that can be affected by data..."
The trees began to surround Gio...fusing with his data...
"Good... A little further... And---"
"Bishop laser!!!"
"Uuuugggggghhhhhh...!"
"What...!"
A beam of light held down Gio.
"Well its a good thing your persistent Tsuji-san..."
"Megumi...!"
"Urghh...DATS..."
"Well I finally caught you Ikaku!"
"No...not yet!!! ONII-SAN!!!"
"..............."
*rumble.......!*
"Ugggahhhaaaaa!!!!"
A crater opened up taking Ikaku sensei downward.
"Until the finals darling...."
"Stop...!"
"Its no use Haru we got bigger problems!"
Gio had turned into his green form we had to...!
"....!!!!"
"Bishop!"
Bishop was sent flying due to gio's whip.
"Ugh....nature..I will not let you hurt...nature...!"
Gio's whip was launched towards me and...!
"Fairy vine!!!"
The whips crossed paths, however...
"Gotcha...!"
"Hanahime! "
As Her whip crossed his and she pulled him towards the sky..."
"You like green so much...so fall under its spell...Hana no kubikazari!!!"
"The flowers seeped into his body absorbing all traces of B/D...returning him to normal..."
*thump....*
"Whew Hanahime... You...uh...what are you wearing..."
"Oh this...ehehe...it from---"
"You know what...don't want to know, however you...ms. Megumi... Have alot of explaining to do..."
"That I do...."

[xtheshadowrealmer]

I walked around town with gabumon as we were extremely bored. We also saw kids in uniforms and we laughed to each other.
"Yep Tsuji owes Hana a lot of money."
"So what made Alice so happy?."
"I mentioned getting her help to get Tsuji and Julia to go on a date together. She seemed strangely happy."
"Maybe she want you to take her on a date just you and her."
"I dought it."

[D'ßláck-です]

It was a long ride back to the hotel. As it turns out...Megumi was part of a group investigating the recent rise of digimon appearing in our world...
"Were known as DATS...up until a while ago we were disbanded as digimon were no longer able to come into this world, but as you have seen they have been coming back in larger numbers..."
"And so you disguised yourself as a tour guide to..."
"Look into whether or not you are the cause of these odd occurrences... But it seems like that's not the case..."
"...."
"So that's that...me and two others are all that remain of DATS...but we are doing our best to keep this situation a a minimum... And that's also why I need your guy's help..."
"To find the cause of this problem?"
"Exactly!"
"Well as much as wed like to help...we don't know why either...but we do have some theories..."
"Anything is better than what we have now"
"Well... It might have something to do with the gods...the digital gods so to speak..."
"Eh...?"
"I dunno...but they either are the cause of this...or the solution...were still unclear..."
"Oh...so that's all you got huh...well thanks for the info...!"
"Your not disappointed...?"
"Not at all! Like I said anything we get is a step in the right direction!"
"Wow that's really positive..."
"Ehehee....anyway we'd better get going... The others might worry if you show up late..."
"And what about you?"
"I'll lay low for now...I can't let to many people know that DATS has returned...."

[xtheshadowrealmer]

I was just getting back with Gabumon as Tsuji showed up we walked over to him feeling something happened. "So what happened?"

[D'ßláck-です]

It took a while to explain most of it but I had to tell him of DATS...
"Tagimachi we have to keep DATS to the two of us. We can't have this getting out..."
"Hmmm what about the woman...Tsuji-sama..."
"Whatever she knows we'll find out at the tournament... "
Again we were at a loss, however we still had a trump card...Alice...she knew what was going on...I hoped..."
(Later that evening...)
*knock,knock,knock....*
"My my Tsuji...coming to a girls room so late in the evening..."
"We need to talk..."
"Yes...yes we do..."
We met on the roof. It was a full moon that evening... A moon that would,in Hanahime's terms, would be a perfect animeish type of moon....
Sigh...I'm using her lingo...
"Alice...earlier you said something about gods...and there relations with these incidence can you elaborate?"
"Hmmm a curious mind...like I said...there are many gods that dwell within the digital world...some serve with a purpose...some with a purpose of there own...all that I know is that they want to be here...or more like something is dragging them to this world"
"And what does that have to do with the beast fighter. "
"That...I'm not sure of...especially if a god were to appear before us and tell us a tale that would tie that together..."
"So your in the dark as well on the matter too..."
"The only way we'll be able to find out anything is if a god were to appear before us..."
"But you said the only thing close to a god that we've seen is Gio right?/but he's nowhere near one let alone---"
"You could be mistaken Tsuji...you said that Gio is a result of an elecmon's appearance right...we don't know for sure that that same elecmon could be his reverted form..."
"So are you saying that Gio could be just a prior memory?"
"Or to be correct his god form was the form that was born first...thereby retaining the memories..."
"Ugh this is a lot to take in...but we won't get anywhere without knowing who Gio really is..."
"It would appear so..."
".........."
"By the way...it would seem that X'sama is really persistent about you and Ms. Julia...um...getting together..."
"Ha...he means well...I just wish I was as strong as him...maybe then I could..."
"You don't have to be strong...just be a little wiser...I can tell you have a troubled history with her...but I'm sure your cleaver enough to solve it...you are the brains after all..."
"Gee thanks..."
"Yaaaaaaaaaawwwn yep....zzzzzz"
"Great...she fell asleep..."
"That little piece of info was just enough to keep my thoughts flowing. And as I carried Alice to her room...I reflected on what she said about Julia...
" maybe it was time after all...

[xtheshadowrealmer]

I stayed up a long time thinking gabumon was curious as usual.
"What are you thinking about."
Now he caught Strabimon's attention.
"Ya what are you thinking about."
I had no idea what to say actually I was surprised myself I wasn't thinking about Alice for now I had made up my mind to find Sayo and talk to her when this was over and see what she thought. No I had been thinking of something that I usually wouldn't even dream of doing. And I started saying my idea right as Tsuji walked in.
" I plan on finding the Plutomon that escaped Alice and making him our teammate by force if I must."
This surprised everyone of course.

[D'ßláck-です]

"Hmmm? Escaped me..."
Alice looked perplexed.
"I wouldn't say escaped..I'd call it a difference in opinion..."
Alice seemed to avoid the question...
"Well today's a new day folks the tournament ist for a few days and I was thinking we could go to one of those festivals I heard so much about..."
"Eeeeeeeekkkk you mean the Hokka festival!? I always wanted to go!!!"
"So do i---um ahem I mean its not that big of a deal..."
Me and Hana were in a world of our own.
"Umm Mr. Haru..."
"Hmmm?"
"Well its about that woman....what if---"
"Not to worry young one I Matsuri shall be your protector!!"
"Where did you..."
"Never mind that the important thing is you all enjoy everything that Japan has to offer!!!"
"Ahhhh manga...."
"Ahhh the tech..."
"Ugh I think we lost them ms Julia... Um Julia..."
In an instant the released chaos and---
"Whooooaaaaaaa.....Julia...!!!"
"Tagimachi... I'll be taking Tsuji for a while... Hope that's okay..."
Looks like everyone is gonna enjoy the festival there own way...

[xtheshadowrealmer]

I patted Julia's back. as I got ready to leave.
"I think he's finally coming around don't worry too much. Although he seems a bit slow."
I thought about what I should do seeing as I didn't have much to do before the tournament so me and gabumon went to the festival Strabimon just slept. Again.

[D'ßláck-です]

The festival was huge...there were a lot of attractions from all over the world here...
"Uhhh...Julia what are we doing---"
"Tsuji!"
"Ugh...yes..."
"I wanna...make thing up with you...and to thank you..."
"Oh..."
"So today...um...will you spend it...with me..."
"...got it..."
So that was that we were going to enjoy this day together...however I couldn't help but wonder...about yesterday... And Gio...
"Wooow would you look a this place..."
"Yep Gio there are a lot of interesting things to do here...we could play games, eat our hearts out...or enjoy the view...whatever you like!"
"Matsuri...thank you..."
"Hahaha....of course...it looked like you needed a pick me up...it seems like you were having a bad time...so let's enjoy ourselves!"
"Yeah...!"

[xtheshadowrealmer]

Me and gabumon walked around eating mostly we road things like the spinning swings and roller coasters but I decided to play a shooting game. I won a stuffed dog and decided to give it to Alice if I saw her.

[D'ßláck-です]

"Hey... Ms matsuri...what's that?"
"Oh...it from that show----"
"Eeeekkkkkk its the statue from Dragon Boy Ryugo!!! They made it to perfection!"
"Wow Tsuji was right you do know your stuff Hanahime..."
"....well you almost know...."
"A mysterious boy in a lab coat came up to them..."
"Oh a wise guy huh...well just so you know I've seen all the episodes, including the 12 movies, spinoffs, OVA, and side stories...in yo face...!"
"Ahhh...we have a true fan...but have you seen the sequel..."
"Ehhh...."
"Yes about a boy...who suddenly develops a mysterious draconic power..."
The dragon statue began to glow...
"Ms. Matsuri...look...ah..."
It began to move...it was...!
"Yes...the power of the dragon had been given to him...but he was unable to control it...and it began to lash out!!!"
The dragon statue laid its eyes on Gio!
*GGGGGGRRARRARARARARAAAAAA*
"AAAHHHHHHHHH"
"Gasp it ate him....!"
"The statue laid motionless as it swallowed him"
"Okay that is enough!!! Pawnchessmon realize!!!"
"...!...."
"We gotta get Gio out of...what!?"
The dragon statue began to glow a crimson red....
*grrrrrrrrrrr......*
"What...was that..."
"Gggrraaaahhhhhh!!!!!!"
*Booooooommmm!!!!!*
"What was that!?"
"It sounds like it came from the center...let's go Julia!!"
"A Crimson form of Gio emerged..."
"Behold the new dragon boy!!!"
This Gio had developed horns and the top of his body was a reddish tint.
*Beeep,beep,beep*
*Error...DIGIMEMORY OVERLOAD...CURRUPT EVOLUTION LINE...DIVISION OF EVOLUTION... ENGAGED!*
"What!?"
*GAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"
"Gio began to glow in an arrangement of colors... Soon...the colors split coming into different forms!!"
"Oh no. This is bad!!!!"
"All the forms of Gio we encountered were coming into formation!!!"
"Hahahahahaha were free!!!!"
"Let's go there's no time to lose!!!"
"Let's light this place up!!!"
The gio's split up and began to wreak havoc!!! "
"G-Gio!?"
"The original Gio was flat on the ground...."
"Darn this isn't good...alright Hanahime go find you partner well start rounding them up!!!"
"What about Gio!"
"I'll keep him close...now go!!!"

[xtheshadowrealmer]

I had no idea what was happening. I started looking to see if Alice was at the festival somewhere when I heard a roar that sounded all too familiar.
"Oh crap gabumon."
"Right"
I Scaned his matrix evolution card turning him into black were Garurumon we then fused and ran towards the roars.
