Post by Kazuya and Royland on Dec 25, 2018 14:59:47 GMT
Kazuya noticed something in Katherine, it reminded him of their time inside the forest, a mixture of fear and insecurity. The golden eyed man could not blame Katherine for this, if he was honest with everyone Kazuya would have let everyone know how terrified Kazuya to have death be so ever close to him stuck fear in the heart of the young man. But Kazuya wanted to stay strong for Katherine, no he NEEDED to stay strong it was all part of the persona he created. Kazuya Oda the handsome, clever and perfect man, his desire to maintain that facade is mixed with his desire to be there for his friend. "Hey Katherine is something wrong ? " Kazuya felt like he knew the answer to his question, but he wanted to hear it from the green eyed girl herself.
Royland then listened to Kath's explanation about the zoid gems and their abilities, it was an interesting detail. And of course Roy being a knight who loves combat and studied under a group of high level masters so he began thinking about how he can use that in their favour against Void. "Wait hold own, can we use the zoid gems you have. Even the playing field ? If so what are the abilities the one we got have, and what are the risks we run by using them ?" Royland asked, his mind was set on battle, retreating was not an option to him anymore.
After that the next point was whether there was a pattern or not, and to the duo's surprise there was not one. Void was just looking for them and it looked like he did not know how to do so, which in a very weird way made Void much more terrifying than he already was. This increased Kazuya's anxiety the raven haired man had, but he is still holding strong. "Oh right, did you not see something in the news Kazuya ? It was umm, yes it was Miyashiata park. The blackout was there right ? Or was there some place else." Royland asked, the lion knight was anxious he wanted to defend his friends from Void but at the same desired a challenge from Void, he wanted to test his new strength.
Kazuya finally heard it and when Katherine said what she said, Kazuya could not help but agree with her. He does not want to fight Void, he really wanted to play it safe and hide. "...maybe Katherine is right ? Wouldn't be smart for us to hide and maybe wait for Void to give up and seek someone's help like Kiriha?" Kazuya said he was not sure if what he said, but he would have hated himself if he did not say it.
Royland however shook his head, the spadamon did not look upon the girl and the man, but he could not agree with their passivity the time to fight is nigh. "I do not agree, if we wait and hide we do not know how desperate Void is. And I fear that he might snap and endanger innocents, I do not mean to put pressure on you guys but we must remember that he is here in the human world because of us. We must unite together and stop him from hurting anyone else, put your faith in me and Jazz and I will promise greatness. So Kazuya, Katherine chins up you two are brave and I have a lot of respect for you guys. So join me and let us stop the nightmare that is Void, we are strong when we are together as one. So are you with me guys ?" Roy extended his hand in between everyone hoping they will all place their hands on top of his. "So what do you say ? One, two, three teamwork ?" Royland waited for everyone to join in.

Slowly, Katherine shook her head at Kazuya’s inquiry. “It’s just that… I don’t know how are we going to beat Void.” Okay, maybe it wasn’t JUST that, but that was a very important part of it. While both Kazuya and Royland spoke, Katherine took the time to finish her breakfast, while she listened to them closely. It wasn’t like she felt super hungry right now, but she knew she needed to eat well. Besides, it was very good. She could tell Royland had put a lot of effort into preparing that dish.
The green-eyed just stared at the Spadamon, while he suggested using the Zoid Gems. Thoughtfully, Jazz crossed her arms, wrinkling her mouth while she mused about this matter. “To be honest, we still don’t know what most of the Zoid Gems do. Their way of acting is so cryptic that, other than maybe the Ocher Zoid Gem, which can raise the temperature of the environment around it, we really don’t know much about their abilities.”
“Maybe that’s just the functionality we know.” With a very reflexive countenance too, Katherine stared at the duo. “I mean, if all of what Void can do is thanks to his Zoid Gem, maybe there are incredible powers that can be unlocked if we manage to use them correctly. The thing is… how? How can we unlock all of their power?” Katherine had no doubt that, if these Zoid Gems were actually hiding a greater power than what they had experienced until now, then they were a key asset for stopping the Dark Army and obtaining the rest of the gems. However, she couldn’t think of any way of unlocking all of this stored potential. “I would like to know what do we have to do to control all the power the gems we have so far have to offer."
“Miyashita Park?” Katherine blinked twice, looking at Royland. So the blackout of last night had taken place in Miyashita Park. That was where the restaurant of Paul was at. She raised her phone again to look for the news, discovering it had gone for kilometers around that spot. Squinting her emerald colored eyes, the teenager tried to think.
Regarding Jazz, it was more than obvious she didn’t think Katherine’s idea was a good one. Hell, she even knew probably Katherine herself knew her own idea wasn’t good!
“I think Royland is right. We don’t know what Void is capable of if he gets frustrated for not finding us.” Her expression wasn’t exactly determined or full of confidence, but she was sure of this. “Even if it does sound hard to pull off right now, we probably need to take advantage of the fact we know his plan and use this against him to take the upper hand.” She then gazed for a second at Royland’s extended hand, and placed hers above his, giving him a firm nod.
“I think I’ve got it.” Katherine lifted her sight from her phone to look at the group again. “It would seem like Void has decided to aim for a place where people just hang around or spend time in. Miyashita Park is one of the biggest parks around Shibuya, so he decided to go there and see if he could catch us at its surroundings by causing a blackout.” She twined her index finger around one of her curls while she explained all of this. “That being said, it is possible the next place he will aim for to cause an outage would be another place where a lot of people tend to hang out or spend time around.”
Darn it. Having only lived in Shibuya for only two years wasn’t helping her much right now. Maybe Kazuya could lend her a hand?
Places around Shibuya that usually got super crowded... “Do you have any idea of where that could be, Mr. Oda?"

Kazuya sympathized with Katherine's view, perhaps not even the combined might of Roy and Jazz will be enough to stop Void. But he also knew that if they continue to run innocents might be harmed and even worse...die. for this alone Kazuya cannot succumb to his fear of death and face the evil monster that threatens to end his life, but the golden eyed man did not know how and thats why he remained silent in comparison to his partner who was quite adamant about his world view.
"What are you trying to say lady Katherine ? I know that me and Jazz arent the strongest digimon out there, but have some faith. I promise to protect you and Kazuya from any harm, after all you saved Kazuya when I pathetically fell for that bastards illusion. I will repay my debt to you no matter what, so we will find some way to beat Void." Royland said as his words were filled with Vigor and heart, Royland is known to be a very passionate digimon, but anyone can tell he was especially passionate about stopping Void.
Royland and Kazuya then listened to Jazz's explanation about the Zoid gems and their powers, the temperature controlling gem sounds to be super situational. Sadly due to being unable to separate what Void could do from what the gem enables him to do, neither Kazuya nor Roy could accurately compare the two gems to each other. But then Katherine made a good point about how they dont really know the true extent of what these gems can do. Kazuya then rubbed his chin "man if only we had time to test the gems in a safe place, too bad Void is chasing us down so we can't do that. But we should not ignore this, after we are done with Void I would like to test the gems powers Katherine. It would put me to rest if I know that those gems you carry around can be of use to you rather than make you a walking target for bad guys." Kazuya said the man continued to eat his breakfast, it was arguably the best meal Roy cooked so far. Royland however was disappointed that only Jazz joined his battle cry that he wanted to do in order to rally everyone's spirit.
"Thank you Jazz, you are smart as you are beautiful milady. The fact that we know his plan is a valuable advantage we must take, in our unity should come strength beyond our wildest imaginations." Royland said as he oozed out confidence, the Spadamon was probably excited at the idea of entering deadly combat to the point to briefly returning to his normal smug self, instead of the love stricken mon he was next to Jazz today.
Kazuya stopped eating and listened to what Katherine said, Void's pattern did make a lot of sense to Kazuya. But looks like Roy is right, leaving Void alone is no longer an option. "Damn that's smart actually, but in that case I can probably guess where he might be next. Following that logic I'd say either Shibuya cross walk or cat street, its more likely cat street due to how easier it is to find people there compared to the cross walk. But the thing is how are we gonna know when he will strike, Tokyo is too big for a wild goose chase and there is a lot of civilians for us to fight here anyways. " Kazuya said as he continued to eat his food.
"Cat street ? I have never been there, one day I would like to have a tour of Tokyo. If I am lucky I will have the company of lovely Jazz with me. " Roy said, he gave Jazz a quick wink "but uh I will save that for later. For now Katherine do you think Void will appear someplace other than what Kazuya suggested ? And can you look up the timing of all the blackouts, if we are lucky we could fight him at night just like we did with.....Argus" he looked down a bit sad, but he quickly turned towards Kath waiting for her answer.

For better or worse, the scenario was set. They were facing Void and trying to put an end to all of this. However, the fact the plan wasn’t clear, had Katherine very preoccupied.
“You have nothing to pay.” Katherine shook her head, with half of a melancholic smile drawn on her face. “Kazuya helped me get out of that illusion. If it weren’t for him, I could have been stuck there forever.” Jazz, on her side, let go a big sigh.
“Well, I do think we’ve got time.” The teenager’s green eyes went to Kazuya. “Right now, Void needs darkness to find us, so he needs to attack during the night.” She explained. “But I don’t know if spending that time trying to figure out how the gems work would be a good idea. We still need to the location for his next movement.”
“In that case, I believe we can assume he might strike in one of those two places tonight. Since he’s been causing blackouts every night.” Katherine made a pause, while she browsed for something in her cellphone. “We should head to the power stations that supply those areas. He’s probably going to attack there, to cause the blackout.”
Katherine then faced Royland. “I don’t know about other places. I don’t know enough about Shibuya.” A worried expression appeared on her face.
Letting go another sight, Jazz added something more to her tamer’s statement. “I’m sure we’ll fight him at night. He needs darkness to find us, remember? So he can only cause these blackouts at nighttime.”
“Do you think splitting is a good idea?” Jazz looked at Katherine, who was still dubious. “According to what Kazuya is saying, there are two places we might want to check, but I don’t think we can fight Void if we’re not together.” Even when Jazz was addressing Katherine, the Spaniard’s eyes were affixed on Kazuya’s window.
“Kath?” The Lopmon’s lips moved slowly.
“What’s… that?” The girl stood up, walking slowly to the window, taking her head out. The sky was dark, pitch dark. The streets were completely murky and with no illumination. Slowly, she could see the lights of the buildings up close lighting up, people coming out of the stores or poking their heads out of their car's windows downstairs to look at the sky. She immediately took her phone out to look at the time. 11:33 am.
“What!? The sky is dark! Is it nighttime already?” Jazz asked, leaping to the border of the window, staring at the darkness above them.
“It is not.” Katherine replied. People kept turning their lights on around the whole block. The power was not out, it simply had gotten dark out of nowhere, in the middle of the day!
Katherine turned her head towards both Royland and Kazuya.
“There’s no chance this is an eclipse, right?” The irony in her tone was obvious. She knew what this was. Void had found the way of fast forwarding to his plan.
The screen of the TV showed the words 'breaking news'. Jazz leaped down from the window and pointed at the news report that seemed to be starting. “Can you please turn up the television?”
It was time to get some info on what was happening.

Kazuya shook his head and let out a nervous chuckle, his memory of that event was a bit hazy. But he does remember being very impressed by Katherine moments of strength even if she had succumbed to fear for a moment in that day, but hey dwelling on that day should not be something the tall man should do, the one thing that he should focus on. The one thing he should focus on is how to hunt down their hunter Void.
Royland however shook his head at Katherine, he humbly disagreed with her when she said that he did not owe her anything, well she might be right about Kazuya helping her in the dream, for he never got the full details of what happened from Kazuya. "True, but you and Jazz saved me from the clutches of Void. That is a debt I can not possibly repay but I will try my hardest to do it, so please have no fears lady Jasso your trusty friend Roy will make sure that Void is stopped today no matter what. " Roy said with a big toothy grin on his face, the lion then turned towards Kazuya as if he was asking if one day was enough for them to try and figure out how to use the gems to the fullest potential, and to say that both the human and digimon thought that its very impossible. Luckily so did Katherine.
"Yeah not only that, but there is the possibility that one day won't be enough to understand the powers of the gems and also understand how to utilize them in tandem with Roy's and Jazz's powers. So yeah glad we can agree on that." Kazuya said before jumping into the next point, how can they intercept Void. The two sat in silence as their heads followed Jazz and Jasso, listening to the two sides.
"Right, but how can we intercept Void ? Because I do not like the idea of splitting up as well, but there is two places if all of us go to one place and we miss them we can end up letting Void escape and lose our element of surprise, Argh if only we can simply challenge Void to a one on one straight forward duel than we can put his menace behind, wait Jasso ? Whats wrong ? Something came up ?" Royland and Kazuya looked at Katherine who looked away at the window, the duo then noticed what she saw and the two were understandably shocked.
Darkness covered the visible street, and the timing of the incident could not be more creepy and terrifying, Kazuya could not believe what his eyes saw. But he was knocked out of his daze when Jazz mentioned the television and the news, Roy then quickly leaped from the dinner table and headed towards the remote control that was placed on the couch. He then began to raise the volume and for some reason Roy hoped they will get some good news, will they get some ? Probably no but Roy is an optimist.
"Breaking news, Tokyo has received what might be the world's first unexpected solar eclipse. That alongside a series of weird blackouts might be causes for concern, but rest assured this no cause of concern. Everyone just calm down and things will go back to norma-"
The news announcement was interrupted and got replaced by a weird static look, moments later a weird announcement was made by a weird distorted voice.
"Fi-finally, I found you. You can't escape from me anymore, I will make you suffer for the humiliation you made suffer back in the inn" then it went back to normal.
"And that's why things will be very fine, so enjoy your day."
Even though the voice was so distorted to the point that no one can recognize it, both Kazuya and Royland knew who that was. And honestly it made them very worried, Roy turned to Jazz.
"Wait hold up, why is this happening ? Didn't you guys say he can only attack at night ? This shouldn't be happening, everyone get closer to each other and be on guard." Royland ordered, the spadamon was worried but he can't waste time since Void sped up his plans.

It didn’t take much for Jazz and Katherine to realize who was speaking on the TV when the image got static distortion. When they did, the tamer let go an audible gasp. This was all starting to scare her, a lot.
“This is definitely Void’s doing.” Jazz hopped into the edge of the window and looked into the sky. It seemed like everything was covered by a dark fog, so the rays of the sun were barely visible, trying to go through this thick mist.
“Well, he could only track us when there’s darkness. I assumed he would require it was nighttime to do this, but…” The curly-haired girl interrupted herself, trying to elucubrate about how was this possible.
“He found a way of bringing the darkness in without being nighttime. Could it be the gem?” Jazz asked.
“I don’t think so. If so, he would have done this before. This must be some new type of asset he acquired.” This was the best thing Katherine could conclude right now. Was her deduction on spot? Probably time would only tell. “We can’t fight like this. We need to get rid of the darkness first. But I don't know how to find whatever that's causing this.”
Even though everyone raised their guard, there weren’t being attacked by anybody at the moment. This didn’t make things any better, it was only making Katherine more paranoid and nervous by the second. Her and Jazz’s breathing was turning more and more fast-paced and the fear was starting to get to them, as Kazuya's apartment got more and more engulfed in darkness. Putting her best effort into calming down, Katherine just tried to think about alternatives. Escape routes. Void would be there at any minute, and time was running out.
“The gem!” However, it was Jazz who had an idea. She ran to Kazuya’s bedroom, where Katherine and herself had woken up. “Jazz!” The Spaniard squealed, a bit terrified to let her go. The bunny came back holding Katherine’s backpack and throwing it to Katherine. At first, the human green eyes just stared at her partner, a bit confused.
“Kath, the gem!” She repeated. “It can make us swap places with stuff, right!?”
Katherine’s eyes widened up. “The Lazulli Gem…” She opened up her backpack, browsing through her three Zoid Gems, taking out one of a deep blue color and looking at it, a bit doubtful.
“Kokatorimon used that to make it switch places from very far away, right? Maybe if you can think about something, somewhere else…”
They could swap places with it. “Everyone grab onto me!” Time to make a decision. Inside her head, Katherine attempted to find something. An item that was in one of these places. It was hard.
“Mr. Oda! How well do you know Scramble Crossing or Cat Street? Can you think of an item that’s always in one of those places?” Was this a weird question? Probably, but there wasn’t much time to explain. “Something that’s always there. Something that you could… swap places with.” If they all managed to find an item like this, maybe they could escape.
From between the shadows of Kazuya’s apartment, something started taking shape. There was something coming, and probably they didn’t want to stay there to find out what it was.

It was not to anyone surprise that the freaky haunting message ended up scaring Kazuya and specially Katherine who was more visibly shook by the announcement than the man, the scene felt like something that is coming straight out of a horror movie. The man became more and more tense right now more than ever before, this gave him flashbacks to the horror of the forest.
"Yes its definitely him but how can he attack us right now, it is not night time how did he force darkness. This is all too sudden, but everyone stay sharp." Royland yet again urges everyone to take care, the lion was optimistic about their victory but he was not an idiot he knew how much stronger Void was compared to both him and Jazz.
Kazuya listened to Katherine's line of thought and he began to think of stuff of his own including the scary possibility of Void possessing the power of advancing time, which if it was true will mean that Void can technically have the night be eternal. But Kazuya decided to stop making Void more of a threat than he is and not risk of over estimating him to the point of losing the mental warfare to him. Katherine then said something that crossed Kazuya's mind, he was happy that someone shared his opinion.
"Yep exactly, if Void had the ability to force the darkness upon everyone like that he should have used it earlier than now, I have a theory. Remember when he said Luke gave him the gem, who ever this Luke person is must have supplied him with the tools to do this. But there is something that is bothering me with my own theory is why would Luke continue to support Void ? What kind of benefit do they get from that." And with that Kazuya got back to thinking, he got too focused on trying to make sense of everything.
He was so deep in thought that the man took a couple of seconds to notice Katherine's breathing got heavier by the second, and once the he noticed the man tried to place his hand on the girl's shoulders and reassure her, but for a brief moment the image of Tsukiko flashed across his mind. He stopped and was only able to say "don't worry calm down, everything will be alright." Unlike his day in the forest, he was unable to make a passionate speech, Nor was he able to connect with Katherine emotionally, the weight of the regrets in the past caught up with him yesterday and he still did not recover from it completely.
But unlike his emotionally stunted partner Royland was comfortable with trying to calm everyone down, the spadamon reached to Katherine leg and tapped it. Should the girl look at him, she will find a warm smile and a thumbs up. "To add to what Kazuya said, count on me to protect you lady Jasso, must I remind you that I am a knight trained in the art of combat, I will become invincible and protect all of my friends." Royland said with an infectious and intense vigor, that even Kazuya couldn't resist. The group then focused on Jazz who seemed to have figured something out.
"Oh awesome this is an amazing gem power, there is an infinite uses for this gem. A lot of strategies that will open up. But uh that is not the point right now, you guys really need to show me every single gem later on." Royland said as he began to fanboy over how amazing the zoid gems are, too bad there was no time for Roy to (play) experiment with the gems.
"Hmm ok I think I got it, there is a vending machine in cat street. Right outside of Majima's convenient store, I know the owner of the place we talk very often and I know he is out of the country right now, so using the power of the gem on that vending machine will not cause any suspicion. We should hurry I think being in this place for any longer will not work for our favour." Kazuya said as he placed his hand on Katherine shoulder, while Roy took hold of her left leg, the two waited for the girl to use the gem.

All the theory crafting, the talks, and the discussion regarding how Void had managed to accomplish this didn’t matter anymore, the group needed to get out of there, and they were relying on Kazuya’s memory to use the power of the gem and escape to safety.
A figure, a very strange one, kept acquiring a form from in between the darkness. At first, Katherine thought it might be her imagination, but as the thing became more and more real, it became clear it wasn't.
Katherine had giving a nod full of insecurities to Royland. Her worriedness was impossible to hide right now. This didn’t make her any less determined to get out of Kazuya’s apartment as soon as possible, so she grabbed into the gem and prepared for the artifact to get them out.
What would happen right after, was something neither she or Jazz were prepared for.
Kazuya would open his eyes to find himself standing on the sidewalk of a very lonely street. If he looked up, he would see people sticking their heads out the window and looking at the still very dark sky. Royland was by his side. They were actually out of the apartment.
Luckily, the distraction caused by the sky being filled with darkness when seconds ago they were at broad daylight, made that no one could actually notice he and his digimon had appeared out of nowhere. Maybe it was a good time to activate Royland’s holosuit?
The odd shape of the buildings around the two would reveal they were at Cat Street.
It had worked! ... However, Jazz and Katherine were nowhere to be seen.

Well after worrying so much about what will happen next in the game Void is playing, both Kazuya and Royland decided to worry about the next step first. And soon enough the gem will do the same things Katherine and Jazz claim it will do, because after closing his eyes due to the light that flashed briefly. But after he opened his eyes he did find himself right in front of the Majima convenient store, just like he thought about and once he turned to see who else was with him he saw Royland, the Spadamon panicked as he quickly activated his own holo suit. He then turned to see where Katherine and Jazz are, but neither he nor Kazuya could find them which honestly worried the two of them.
"Ok what is going on ? Where are Lady Jasso and Jazz, do you think Void somehow got to them ? If so we should hurry and save them, what are we doing here ? We should run." Royland cared a lot about his friends and the thought that the two of his friends are in danger kind of made him feel so nervous and restless, thankfully he was partnered with a very calm human man in Kazuya Oda.
"Royland calm down, don't rush into conclusions. I have a theory, maybe the gem took everyone to the place they were thinking of, so the two of us taught of the same place and we are lucky to be together. This theory may also mean that they areca chance that Jasso and Jazz are separate from each other. This will prove to be the worst possible outcome, but we have to calm down and slowly look for them while trying to avoid Void and his possible ally, ok ?" Kazuya said as he scratched his chin, this was truly sudden but the tall man was able to keep his wits about him.
"Yeah you are right, let us go and see what we can find. Panicking won't help us, but I do wonder where they will be?" Roy asked as the duo walked around Cat street searching for the girl and bunny.

While holosuited Royland and Kazuya walked around the semi-crowded avenue, they would notice everyone seemed to be paying much more attention to the obscurity that had invaded the morning sky than anything else. People had come out of shops and were sticking their heads out the windows of their apartments, looking for an explanation for this phenomenon. Even the street lights were being turned on now. Everything started to look as if it was nighttime.
However, it was different. The darkness swallowing the sky was really overwhelming. Maybe it was due to the fact of there being no moon or stars to light the layout. Maybe there was an evil feeling to all of this.
The conversation between a group of teenagers would get to the duo’s ears.
“This is so creepy! I really don’t get it.” A short haired girl played with her braids while still looking at the ‘nighttsky’.
“What could have happened?” One of the boys asked, without taking his eyes off the sky’s layout either. “We're here to find out!” One of them, with a much squeakier voice and blonde hair, spoke. “Everyone is saying they saw something weird around the top of the buildings here in Cat Street, before all of this started! So keep your eyes open! It must be around here!" “I really don’t like this idea. Why are we chasing that thing?” The girl took her eyes off the sky and back to the group. “Come on! You won’t believe any of that is real, would you?” “O-Of course not! But… who knows. It’s creepy!” “Enough! Let’s get to work!” The blonde haired teenager made a sign to the rest of the group, as he ran forward.
The group of teenagers ran into the distance, like if they were looking for something. After some seconds, they were gone.

To the adult something seemed off, there was one thing that he seemed to have forgotten, yet he was so close to remembering it. But then as he and human form Roy continued to roam the streets they noticed something weird, a group of teenagers who seem like they talked about the situation of the city and are even attempting to face the cause of this mess, obviously knowing who is behind this the blonde blue eyed gentleman panicked and wanted to rush to stop the kids from engaging what might possibly turn out to be Void, but he was stopped. Turning to see what stopped him Roy saw a hand, not any hand mind you, but the hand of his very own friend Kazuya Oda. baffled by what seemed like an incredibly selfish and evil act, Royland the moved away and he shook Kazuya's hand away. "What the hell man, what are you doing ? We need to stop those kids before Void kills them." With a mighty glare Roy made his stance on the situation very clear.
"I know but listen, remember that we are up against Void and that digimon managed to ensnare everyone in his illusions, we can't be sure this is not one as well. I don't want to be rude to you but I will have to remind you that last time we went up against him he placed you in an illusion so you aren't immune to his tricks." Kazuya words carried a lot of truth in them, the man did not intend to hurt Roy with his words. But the blonde boy could not help but lower his gaze in sadness, as he remembered the night of the forest.
The night where someway somehow Void's illusion touched upon a sensitive part of Roy's past, a past the honorable knight had once thought was all but forgotten. That day he remembered the guilt of failing his hero Dukemon and immense sorrow he felt upon losing everyone he ever loved and finally the shame of him almost succumbing to a fake happy ending even after he learned it was all not real.
"Yeah you are right, sorry for getting all tense on you Kaz. But anyways if we are in another one of Void's illusions how do we escape ? I only did because Lady Jazz used some physical force on me, but we can't rely on that, that is a variable with a lot of random numbers. We need a more guaranteed approach, how did you and Lady Jasso escape your dream ?" Finally back to his senses, Royland suggested the young blonde boy asked he crossed his arms.
"Good point, how did we escape ? My memory is a bit hazy at the moment, but I do remember realizing that there is something wrong with our dreams and then after that Jasso approached me and we reached some sort of singularity where the world collapsed on itself, then next thing I know. I woke up next to you in the forest." Kazuya said, as the man stopped to examine his surroundings hoping to maybe see something that will make him see whether he was in an illusion or not.
"So our task is simple right, we just search for this singularity where the world collapses in on itself and we will be free to go help Jazz and Jasso." Royland said perhaps a bit too eager to see the two friends he was separated from.
"Not that fast Roy, we can't even be sure that we are IN an illusion to begin with, its just a strong possibility and even then we have to worry about saving Katherine and Jazz as well. I suggest we go see what weird thing those kids saw and from there we will gather the information we need, we just have to keep our wits about us at all times, ok ?" Kazuya Oda deducted, the man was worried about a lot of things, but mainly he was worried about Roy, Katherine and Jazz. He didn't knew why but he cared so much about the safety of those three, its not just safety, he wanted them to be happy, just like he wanted Tsukiko to be happy. The golden eyed man was conflicted by this, he thought he should only care for himself all this time, but now is not the time to deal with these emotions...maybe on a later date he will.
"Yeah you are right, I will promise you this, as long as you are near me Kazuya my blade will be used to protect you. We are inseparable my friend, now my darling Jazz must be waiting for me, I shall be her knight in shining armor and rescue her from the terror of this night, come on lets go. My sworn brother" With that, Roy's morale was somewhat back to normal.
A smile crept up on Kazuya Oda's face as the man knew one thing was true, he honestly enjoyed being Roy's friend.

It was likely Kazuya’s inspection would bring to light some very key factors about the environment they were developing in right now. It wasn’t as if he could find anything particularly different from reality, though. Everything seemed in order, regarding Cat Street, a place he knew very well. If he decided to shift his attention to the people walking around (most of them looking at the sky) he would probably notice all of their facial expressions and details were very much visible. He could differentiate one from another without any trouble, even if most of them were, in fact, people he had never seen before. From all of this, maybe he would find some differences with that illusion he had been trapped into recently, alongside Katherine.
At first, the duo would have trouble keeping up with the group of teenagers. They would, later on, find them, just chatting between them again. Apparently, they hadn’t been lucky at sighting whatever they were looking for. It was then probably a good idea to look for whatever they had seen going across the roofs of Cat Street. However, everything Kazuya and Royland would find around were residential buildings, except for one or two stores.
Right at that moment, it was very likely Roy would feel the presence of a digimon. Whatever it was, it hadn’t noticed them, but it was around. It was hard to determine where it was, but energy was revolving around it, and it wasn’t too far away.
What would be the next move of the golden-eyed man and Royland ‘the brave’?

Upon further examination Kazuya Oda realized how different this was from his previous experience in a Void illusion, the main thing was the fact that the people around him all had normal faces, granted they were not of people he actually knew or anything but he could still tell people apart, they all did not have the same face or anything like that, nor where they face less like the people he and Katherine saw in the school, but he still felt. . . Odd and tense, perhaps is the knowledge that a certain villain is hot on their tail or the unusual state of the city at this moment or more likely the combination of the two but Oda was unable to relax as he slowly got more tense as time went on.
But he continued onwards with his trusted companion Royland, the two continued with their search of Katherine and Jazz but alas they did not find them, but this will not hinder their spirit to continue their search for the both Kazuya and Roy regarded those two as friends, of course Roy was bit more attached to them compared to Kazuya but that had another more complicated reason. You see every time the lion thinks of Jazz he gets...flusterred why ? Not even he can answer that even if he sat there for hours and hours, could it be love ? No way that is rushing things or is it ? God why must Roy be so inexperienced when it comes to the matter of love, its been driving him crazy every time he thinks of Jazz and do you know how often he thinks of her ? VERY OFTEN!
"Woah hold on Kazuya stop right there and step back, I feel some digimon presence in the area." Oh good something to distract him from Jazz momentarily. The blonde boy stood in front of his tall tamer, Royland began to look around frantically, he was on guard ready to strike on a moment's notice.
"You know what, I would have said to avoid that but we have no other option but we should approach that digimon don't you agree ?" The man did not seem hesitant like he always but that was because he really did not have that much time to waste.

The presence wouldn’t fade away. The feeling wouldn’t change. But nor would it increase either. Most likely, Royland was going to be able to tell the thing was still around, somewhere. It was definitely not extremely close, but it wasn’t that far from him and his tamer either. Of course, it wasn’t as if anyone else could feel any of this. Everyone around Cat Street was still looking at the sky, preoccupied. By this moment, everyone would expect the solar eclipse to have faded but… it didn’t. No one could even see a single trace of the sun. Everything was still. The darkness was complete.
The sensation of energy revolving somewhere alongside this digimon was still there. It was probably a good idea to go and check this out, just like Kazuya had suggested. The approach they would take was entirely at their disposition. Time was ticking, and every second it passed it was another second separated from the girl and the bunny.

The duo of man and mon were determined to reach the bottom of this whole thing, after finally coming to the conclusion of having to approach the mysterious presence Roy felt, for better or for worse it was really their only option to get out of the desperate situation they were in. So taking out his device, the golden eyed man was ready to evolve to his partner Roy to his strongest current form, champion level at a drop of a hat immediately. Hopefully such drastic measures won't be necessary, diplomatic conversations can be an option right ? Hopefully this little meeting won't cause unnecessary blood shed (or data shed) at least that's what the man hoped, his little fluffy white fellow however won't mind a battle to break down, after all he lived his life full of conflict and combat, one more night won't do no harm.
Heading up to the stairs and leading up to the roof, the duo got a bit nervous, not knowing what to expect, the due knew that it had to be done in order to get back to Katherine and Jazz, both Kazuya and Roy knew, that if Jazz and Katherine would have done the same to help them if they were in need.
Once they finally reached the roof Roy lead the way for a multitude of obvious reasons, Royland's body was tense and clinched, his lion instincts was telling him to bear his fangs and scare the other digimon into submission, but he will be civil for now. "Hey you there, who are you and why did you come to the human world. " Roy asked his tone was not inviting at all, but can you blame him after all that happened today.
