He cannot sleep... he really can't. That Dark Ryouta might've created a crack in the space, but... secretly, he knows. He knows that monster lives inside his heart. That fragment of justice... the chaotic path of 'Seigi no Monshou'. The first thing he do is he wanted to have a moment of silence, hence he quickly get out of his room, making sure to not woke up the older teen on the futon below. He stripped himself from his usual attire and look at his reflection on the mirror. Nothing changed... He's still the very same Ryouta afterall... Slowly, he equipped his training clothes and get outside for a small jog...
It was uneventful, just listening to music while he let himself relax, inhaling fresh morning air. Just when he's about to return back home, his D-Terminal beeped.
To: Noguchi Ryouta From: Noguchi Ryouta Subject: I'll be waiting in Village of Beginning
<No content>
...F**k, the trial is ready afterall. Ryouta quickly typed messages directed to the two people who promised to help him on the trial. He doesn't like the sound of having going to village of beginning. It's almost like he's going to fight in midst of all those babies. Why? Why does he need to do this? Without caring for anything else, once he got back home, he grabbed the first attire he came across: a pair of jeans and A-shirt. Without waiting to take a bath, he simply sprayed his deodorants on his whole body, trying to appear at least decent.
"Dracomon, let's go!"
"Osh, Aniki!"

Tatsuya and Dorumon were still sleeping in Ryouta's house when he left for an early jogging. The duo snored loudly with happiness drew on their faces as they enjoyed the good sleep at their friend's house. They would only be awakened by him returning and taking a shower. Tatsuya slowly got up and rubbed his eye, his brain beggining to function at that moment. Why was he in Ryouta's house again? His mind quickly flickered through the events that had taken place the previous afternoon and night, but he still needed five minutes to realize that they were supposed to fight a dark version of Ryouta that day.
When the fifteen-year-old came from out of the bathroom, Tatsuya didn't ask him if he could grab a towel and get a shower. Instead, he just went straight and closed the door shut behind him, opening the shower faucet and letting the water run down his defined torso and arms as his hair became soaked as well. He needed it in order to get his body and brain to answer to his commands properly; otherwise the dream world would attempt to claim his consciousness once more.
As he came out of the room wearing nothing, Ryouta suddenly surprised him. He seemed in a hurry, preparing for something that was supposed to happen that day: the upcoming battle. Giving him an understanding look, he quickly got dressed and woke his Dorumon up. They had to kick a dragon's ass, an Ultimate to be more precise, and they wanted to finish with it as soon as possible.
Grabbing his backpack, storing his D-3 inside of his pocket and putting on his favourite T-Shirt, the duo followed Ryouta through the streets, with Tatsuya addressing Dorumon. -Okay, pal! Time to teach that joke of a dark twin who we are! -the eighteen year old said, determined, as his partner reached his side with a nod.
-The same goes for you Ryouta! We are going to win this and come home in time for lunch!

Mana's night of sleep had been hard. She had conciled it eventually, but light-Ryouta's words gnawed on the back of her mind... She felt as if she hadn't got his opportunity with Ryouta and was rejected without even being given a chance, and that really frustrated her. But for today, she had to forget that. She had decided to confess to Charles when he called her to his next spirit hunt, but was this the right decision? She really liked him (Or wanted to like him? Argh!), but decided to push all those thoughts out of her mind; even if Ryouta didn't see her as more than her little sister, she would support her in any way she could, and to do that, she needed to concentrate and be at her best shape, for Ryouta deserved no less.
She woke up at daybreak, and after a long talk with Ayaka, she could finally contain all her feelings. After having breakfast, she got on her usual attire, taking great care on her appearance this only time (and even if it wasn't much), because Ayaka had said that a lady had to take care of her appearance if she was only surrounded by boys, and she had found that as a pretty good excuse to maybe get a compliment or two from Ryouta. She had brushed and combed her usual messy hear, having decided to not to don the hood of her hoodie just for today, and used perfume instead of deodorant. What would Ryouta-san like better, pineapple or melon? Shaking her head, and trying to push back yet again those thoughts, she sprayed a little of the pineapple fragrance on her neck and wrists, and after grabbing her D-3, D-Terminal and cellphone, she called Ayaka and decided to visit Ryouta's house early, given that everyone else was already there, and she would definitely feel embarassed if they had to wait because she was tardy. While they were midway on there, she recieved the message. Dang!
From: Tsumura Mana <Mana-chan> To: Noguchi Ryouta <Ryouta-san> Subject: I'm on my way! I'll be there in fifteen minutes at most. Bear with me!
She quickened her pace to where she thought the boy lived, reaching the place just as Ryouta and Tatsuya were going out of younger boy's houses.
"Oiiiiiii~!" the girl called them "Ryouta-san, Tatsuya-san, Dracomon-san, Notfoxysan-san! Wait for me~!". She reached the group soon enough, bowing at the foursome as Ayaka did the same. She looked at Dorumon for a split second, unamused, but decided that their dispute should be solved later. This event was pretty important to Ryouta, Dracomon and Mana for her to spoil it with an insult war that could wait until they fought against dark-Ryouta.

Birds...a particularly annoying feature from the human world. Especially when they team up with insects to make his morning miserable. The pile of dead birds and insects piled up beneath the tree where UFADO had spent the night, or much of it. The corpses of those who had disturbed UFADO were a macabre vision that even rookie digimon can damage. Damage the weak spots of the human world. Yet, it would be a waste to have all this corpses he couldn't absorb lying around. Maybe he could offer them to the humans? Surely they'd know what to do of them and would be gratefull for his hard-worked offer.
"Inside the house, humans began to wake up. Considering their many strange rituals,UFADO thought it best not to disturb any of the waking humans at this point, to provide them some time to re-adjust to reality. It would seem this humans could take some time, so UFADO decided maybe he'd explore the surroundings of Ryouta's house.
Yet he didn't go far before he saw something familar. An old lady holding on a sort of large metal stick beneath her arm and a badge on her head. She froze as she saw UFADO. He just waved at her, his eyed watching the surroundings carefully.
"Greetings. I hope you recover from your injuries soon." UFADO greeted the old lady, who passed out at that point, falling on her garden and causing UFADO to remember this was the same old lady that had passed out when she saw him the day before. Without thinking twice, UFADO went back to tree near Ryouta's house. Still, something stopped him, a voice he recongnised as being Mana. She called out for Ryouta, Tatsuya, Dracomon and Dorumon. It saddened UFADO a bit that she forgot about him, but he shook his head to clear those thoughts, those feelings. He couldn't be saddened about being forgotten, that would mean more discrition for himself. Yet, he was trying to socialize, so he got down to the group.
"I hope I am still allowed to come." UFADO stated "It would be a shame if I had spent the night here for nothing. Which reminds me...I gathered a collection of meat over night, they might be usefull for eating beings such as you."
UFADO a bit and pointed at the pile of dead birds, bugs and the occasional cat that were rooting beneath the tree.

He was about to sprint ahead with Tatsuya, until Mana called them. The girl felt... different. Somehow, a light blush crept on him... wait, what? Isn't this girl only like a little sister figure to him? He finally able to put finger on it. The girl's hair is much tidier and she doesn't put on her hoodie. A really nice change, he thinks... Too bad he doesn't like her current fragrance, tho. It's his disliked (although not most disliked) fruit. Suddenly, he felt Dracomon nudged his leg, smiling encouragingly.
"Hey, Mana, morning! Em... you looks different today... it's... well, cute... I mean... cuter than usual." he struggled, a faint red tint spread across his cheek. What the heck? Why the heck did he blush? It's totally uncalled for, right? This girl is just a little sister, a little sister!
Yet what his light counterpart said the day before... it's almost like it messed his head. He scratched the back of his head. Dang, he felt like a really bad guy here... if only... if only he didn't say that, maybe he won't think about it too much and let it flow naturally.
UFADO appeared next, and profess once again his desire to join in the quest.
"Yeah, you still can c---"
His words choked on his throat when he saw the birds, cats and bugs. Urgh, talk about brutal? His eyes twitched at the display, but shook his head regardless. UFADO is a Digimon, so common sense might be something non-obligatory.
"...Next time, best to not kill anything. Some of them might be owned by the neighbors," he told the multi-eyed Digimon.

As Ryouta and Tatsuya sprinted together, their Digimon following suit and increasing their pace to be at their sides instead of falling behind, they were forced to stop, for a young, femenine, but childish voice interrupted their running towards the Digital World, or to be more precise, to the Village of Begginings. As he heard the voice, Ryouta stopped, so Tatsuya did the same. Dorumon then pronnounced a loud curse when he saw Ayaka. -Oh, for fuck's sake... -he said before the plant-like creature was next to him.
When she shot him an unamused glare, he answered with one of his own, despising the fact that he had to put up with her for the rest of the day... until the battle was over, that is. Afterwards, he'd be free to do whatever he wanted and to tell her a thing or two, but that could wait. As of that time, his main focus was that Groundramon that had attacked them the day before. Ryouta then complimented her appearence, making Tatsuya chuckle. So he had rejected her the day before, but now was flustered? It made no sense, unless...
-"Heh. Lying isn't made for you, Ryouta" -the teen thought with an amused half-grin as he also greeted the girl. -Yo. Did ya sleep well? Ready for the battle against that eerie guy? -he asked, trying to change the subject in order to save Ryouta from the troubles the conversation was soon to bring onto him. Afterwards, UFADO appeared as well, having left a trail of... dead animals.
Tatsuya sighed, and quirked an eyebrow. -You know, you shouldn't kill them if they haven't done anything to you. Real World animals don't think... or at least, not that we know, so if they were grinding your gears it was most likely unintentioned -the older teen explained, as Dorumon let out a "Hmpf" and looked away, tired of dealing with Ayaka. He truly wasn't in the mood to speak with that idiotic Jungle Trooper, that was for sure.

Ayaka smirked at Dorumon's curse. It was only worthy of a barbarian to show that he was afraid with insults. Someway, she actually wondered why the squirrel thought that he had a chance against her on an argument.
At Ryouta's words, pink tinged her cheeks, yet she recomposed herself instantly. Only as his little sister, her mind repeated endlessly, making her a little sad a each repetition. Yet, it was necessary for her to be concentrated in their upcoming journey. "U-uh, well, thank you, Ryouta-san!" as she was about to continue talking, she saw UFADO some distance away. She felt a little bad for not noticing the digimon earlier, so she tried to be more cheerful than usual as she greeted him.
"UFADO-san! Sorry for not seeing you bef—" after she could complete her greeting or hear Tatsuya's words, she saw the small pile of dead animals nearby his tree, and color immediately left her face, only to be replaced by a sickly green. Not losing time, she ran to the most nearby trashcan and poured her breakfast in there. Ayaka, of course went to where she was, and gently palmed the girl's back. Searching on the pockets of the girl's pants, she reached for a mini-pack of tissue papers and handed it to her after she was done with her ordeal.
After cleaning herself, and with green tinging her face only by remembering that image, she came back to where the boys and the digimon were, taking special care in not to look that way. "I-I'm sorry" she said, extremely embarassed of that display. So much for trying to give a good impression "Please, let's just forget about what just happened and get going already. Sorry for making you lose time".
She just stood in there, waiting for anyone to begin walking in whatever direction they were supposed to go.

All the humans seemed to be impressed by Mana`s new looks. UFADO focused his front eyes on her, examining every inch of her body and trying to find the reason behind this, yet to no avail.
"If you don`t mind me asking, what`s so diferente with Mana today that you react in the opposite way relating to when you first saw her yesterday?" UFADO inquired, trying to make sense of this sudden change of perpective from the human boys. Maybe it was just a human thing, given Dorumon`s position towards Ayka remained the same.
Then Mana greeted him and he was about to greet her back when she suddenly left and threw some weird liquid into the nearby flora. Was Mana using some kind of attack? Should UFADO be worried?
Around that point, the other humans began to criticize his offer, which offended him. He was providing them a gift and they simply rejected it? How dared this humans? Still, UFADO did nothing about it, as he didn`t want to screw up the work he had to minimally bond with this humans so far and so he remained expressionless.
"Why should I not kill them?" UFADO inquired, quickly getting his answer ""Owned"? How can you "own" a living thing? And how do you know they don`t think, or why would that be of concern to wether or not I end it´s existence? A rock doesn`t think, yet I can break it at will. Besides, this animals were disturbing me and I thought they could be usefull to you since you might need lot`s of food in the digital world."
Mana arrived then, proposing they just left.
"Very well, then, agree. Let us go now, before your human day activety becomes greater and I become unable to be out in public." UFADO stated.

Explaining this would be great pain in the ***, Ryouta thought as he massaged his forehead. The disgusting stench would probably make some police called... then after that, perhaps animal control. Ryouta shuddered... and it's so close to their house, too... That would definitely spells for questions and such... what a pain... his parents just returned at dawn, too...
"...Look, uh... first... human doesn't eat something... rotten like that... They'd eat something they just freshly killed... and that's not something we generally do at this age... Human doesn't eat cats, and even if they do, I definitely don't. Birds, not too. We love eating birds called 'chicken', but those are specifically bred. Also, human's system isn't something that you would understand... if I explained something like agriculture, maybe you'll think it as slavery... just know this, what those called 'Pets' are basically beloved companion to humans. Pets are something like cat, birds and whatnots... as long as they're collared, that means they're pets to someone... Let's not spend more time in explaining. Human stuffs are really complex."
The boy approached Mana and stroke her back soothingly. "You OK, Mana? Sorry that we can't rest just yet, it's kind of urgent. Well, then, considering that the street is empty, do you two have... a form that can be ridden, Dorumon, Ayaka?" he asked the two companions.

The young man tilted his said to the sides, as if telling himself to drop it there instead of trying to make UFADO understand that what it had done was completely wrong, however only from the human being's point of view. To Digimon, who lived by the law of the jungle, that was exactly something they couldn't properly understand, though they had also began living in society, as Terminus or Whitewater showed. Mana then went puking, with Ryouta caressing her back after she finished.
-Man, let's just knock it off right here, 'kay? It's time for us to go meet that joke of an evil twin of yours, Ryouta, so let's get going -Tatsuya said, with the fifteen year old asking him and Mana if their Digimon had a form that could be ridden. The older of the Kazan siblings scratched the back of his head as he answered Ryouta's question. -Yeah, of course. I usually use my pal's Sangloupmon form as a mount... -the Kazan explained, with Dorumon snorting towards Ayaka.
-Hmpf. I'll take everyone except her -he said, oblivious to the fact that the Kodamon also had a form of her own that allowed for fast travels. Still, his speed and predator-like instincts made the wolf-like Digimon perfect for riding while scouting the terrain at the same time, its senses greatly enhanced by the Digimental's power. It was a form he was obviously proud of, specially because it made him look much more mature and cold, fitting his personality.
-Though we could make her transform into a tree, cut the log and use it to go downhill. It'd be fun as heck -the Rookie muttered afterwards, smirking at her.
-Whatever, Dorumon.

Mana gave a small smile at Ryouta when she rubbed her back. She was starting to feel better, but she wanted to be away from that little slaughterhouse as soon as she could as fast as possible, and she could only pray that the sickening smell wouldn't reach her or otherwise she'd puke again on the very spot. "Don't be sorry, Ryouta-san, it wasn't your fault" she said quickly "I understand the urgency of this, and if you're so eager to. I have this nifty function of my digivice that spawns a small portal that leads to Terminus. I can use it right now if you want, but it'll a little sketchy because I've to open a portal for everyone else before I can finally get in, but I guess that it'll be way faster than going to the train station by feet, and...".
Ayaka decided to interrumpt Mana to address Ryouta's question. "I am quite apt to be a means of travel, mind you, Ryouta-san" the fairy explained "Differing from others Packmulemon, I wouldn't hop on a filthy animal's back even if it were my only way to get across the lava pits of the volcanic region of the Digital World. Most probably it would be slow and unelegant anyway, so it would not be up to the task". She made as if she had ignored everything that Dorumon had said, and now she was playing as if the mammal digimon wasn't even there. She was sure that with Nephilamon's fortes in speed and maneuverability despite the terrain, she could outrun that overgrown and filthy squirrel on any day of the week.

UFADO listened to Ryouta`s explanation on his reaction with curiosity. The human described the human`s "complex" choice in food and pets. It seemed weird, but then again, everything seemed to be in that world. "It seems that you humans are picky in your eating habits, despite that being a basic need for your kind." UFADO commented "And I thought that your digimon and other humans were the things you really cared about?"
Afterwards the conversation started to drift towards the travel method. Dorumon made a joke on using Ayaka to obtain wood by turning her into a tree.
"I don`t think that would worl, actually. A digimon will be turned to raw data upon suficient injury and the same effect will be placed upon any part separated from it`s body. Therefore, if you try to use Ayaka to obtain wood, you`ll get nothing but raw data." UFADO explained, not compreending it was a joke. The conversation seemed to move on ahead and the development turned to a competitive side. "I believe this is turning into some form of competition. Maybe we can proceede this AFTER we deal with that dark Ryouta? I must say I am curious however, on how a plant digimon would undergo a speed-increasing evolution. But anyways, I shall be accompanying you on my own feet, unless you or the circumstances demand otherwise, in which case I will revert to my in-training stage to allow easier transportation."

"Oh.. that maybe will be good... I mean, we can avoid getting seen like that... Still, are you sure it's completely safe? I mean... it's dangerous if somehow it only works for you, instead of all of us. But then again... what option that we have in here? Let's just go!" Ryouta told Mana. Regardless of their travel route, they'll be in Digital World sooner or later, and then, they'll need to get onboard the Trailmon...
Or at least, that's the scenario, but currently, it's not that easy. None of the Trailmon seem to gone that way at the current time... and everytime Ryouta asked about the situation there to those who gone that route already earlier that day, they simply look at him as if he's crazy and told him there are nothing wrong there... What's the meaning of this? Did his dark side lied about that mail?
"...Hey, it's... odd, but... do you think it'll worth it if we bribe them to take us to the village of beginning? There's something that made me think that it's not normal at all... They said nothing happened.... but something in me thinks that there's something that obviously happening there, just... just not so direct..."

Dorumon quirked an eyebrow when Ayaka said something about a "filthy animal's back", but didn't say anything. The plant Digimon wasn't even worth the trouble, he had just decided that. As of that time, he'd just ignore her and see how things unfolded that day. After beating Dark Ryouta, they'd have more than enough time to settle that score once and for all. -"Let's see if you fight as well as you speak bullshit" -the Rookie thought.
It was then when the time for them to pick up a Trailmon came. Despite Ryouta asking them if there was something unusual going on in the village of begginings, they just shrugged it off, as if there wasn't anything important. Perhaps they were hiding something to the boy? They couldn't know, but Tatsuya remembered something that had happened when they had first gotten into the Digital World. At that time, attempting to earn some money to get out of Terminus, they'd ended up cleaning a bunch of the Trailmons, and he recognized a few of them
-Hey, hello! You remember who I am, don't you? Even if you don't, it's okay, you see a lot of people everyday... I'm Tatsuya, and Dorumon's my partner. Does that ring a bell? -the young man asked, with one of the train-like Digimon's great eyes hovering over the duo. After a few seconds passed, a wide grin was drawn on its huge maw, as it spoke in a gutural voice.
-Oh, yes. You were those two that helped us. After that cleaning we were good as new... -he said, with Tatsuya smirking. -I know, we did a very nice job. However, I think that one of you said this: "If you ever need a lift, talk to any of us". Well, I think it's about time to use that perk. Could you take us to the Village of Begginings? I know it's a quiet place, but we have some... business over there that need to get settled -the Kazan spoke.
-Hmm... Very well. I will take you there, but afterwards, I must go. The rails are very dangerous around that point today, and none of us know why. Either way, I'm digressing... get on any wagon and give me the signal -the train muttered, with Tatsuya tilting his head towards everyone else.
-Well, let's go! -Yeah. The sooner that guy's dealt with, the better -Dorumon muttered, impatient.

After the employment of dubious methods, the party had reached the Terminus Trailmon station. Apparently, when Ryouta had asked all the Trailmons in there, nobody had said that nothing wrong was happening in the Village of the Beginnings, and at least Mana thought they were sincere. A pity that none of the train digimon were going that way. But that didn't seem to be a problem, at least thanks to Tatsuya's friendship with the Trailmons. "Whoa, Tatsuya-san, you're so influential!" Mana complimented when the older boy got them a free ride to the Village "Maybe you can even make my teachers give me less homework!"
She snickered at her own bad joke, and soon enough she was boarding the Trailmon too. "Okay, to the Village of the Beginnings we go!".
Ayaka, on her side, had this ominous feeling about the whole situation. It wasn't related to the ignorant squirrel she had been forced to cooperate with, but something else. She had this feeling about Mana's safety in the trial to come... maybe it'd be related to the fact that she had healed Dracomon and because of that dark-Ryouta will try to focus his attacks on her?... She couldn't be sure, but still had this strange feeling. Hopefully she was only being paranoid and everything will be just fine. She hoped that, at least.
While inside her thoughts, she only walked alongside Mana, no really paying attention to the talking or the commentaries being made. Hopefully they'd deal with dark-Ryouta fast enough and she'd get rid of this feeling when that happened. Meanwhile... she couldn't but feel that unfounded paranoia.
