After Akio eventually got home from visiting the Digital world for the first time, he decided that he would love to go exploring there again sometime. Fortunately, he had a break from school in a few weeks, so he patiently waited for school break, albeit with anticipation because he was excited. When it came, he made an excuse to his parents as to where he would be for the next week, leaving for the Digital World. He packed some supply's in a backpack with him and was ready to go. When he did get there, he wandered off in a random direction not having any clue where to go.
Unfortunately, this would mean he would find himself on Terabyte mountain, walking up on relatively steep terrain. Though, after walking for a while, he would eventually reach a flat area, deciding this would be a good idea to catch a break. The clothing he was wearing did'nt make things much better, he was cold almost freezing. He wanted to leave the area, but he was lost. Going into his Herissmon form was tempting, especially because he knew he would feel warmer with all of that fur.

Unbeknownst to Akio he wasn't the only one heading up the mountain as the sight of Masamune the Kunemon climbing the steep cliffs as if he was attached to them. Adjusting his katana Tenken after hopping up another cliff soon finding flat ground Masamune took a deep breath. He was glad he normally made climbing look easy, or he would have slipped off due to the snow and ice. Speaking of which he shivered a bit the little caterpillar not being used to cold weather. However other than being mildly uncomfortable he was fine.
As Masamune scooted along the sight of a human caught his attention causing him to click his mandible in surprise. Twitching his antenna the now curious bug digimon made his way to the spirit wielder. When he got within speaking but not shouting distance Masamune said "Excuse me but I know I may sound weird but do you live up here or something, kew? Or are you lost, kew?"

If walking up steep terrain wasn't difficult enough. He also had to maneuver through snow and ice. That along with having to climb up a mountain made things difficult. He used to live in the countryside back in the human world. He was used to hiking and traveling long distances, but it was never anything like this. He wanted to get back down so he no longer had to worry about snow, ice and steep terrain. He was lost though. So first things first he needed to know where exactly he was on this mountain.
Fortunately, he would eventually catch the sight of a Digimon that was making his way towards him. A caterpillar-like Digimon. He wondered if it was native to the area. Though, the sight of the Katana sheathed around it's back made him tilt his head. He wondered why a Digimon had a weapon like that. A cold breeze in the air, made its way towards Akio, causing the teen to shiver. He did'nt seem to be doing so well in this weather. "Oh um, you got me. I'm lost. I'm not too sure how to get down if I'm being honest."
Akio would rub his hands together to try to create some amount of warmth but it wasn't working. He was just about ready to take out his D-Tector and transform. "If I may ask, what's with the Katana?"

When the human Masamune spotted acknowledged him and even admitted to being lost Masamune cocked his head before he said "I get how getting up this mountain would be tough for a human but with all that snow and ice I can see how getting down would be a lot trickier, kew. After all humans don't stick to surfaces like I can, kew."
Masamune had one thought roll through his head and that was how to help this human get down. There had to be a way after all. Masamune shivered a bit while watching Akio attempt to create warmth by rubbing his hands together. However, that approach wasn't looking all that successful. Then when asked about his katana, Masamune answered "Oh you mean mine, kew? That would be my katana Tenken, kew. It is a holy sword that fell into the forest where I was born but that's not all Tenken is also the reason I'm even a digimon, kew."

Masamune had a point, he did'nt really think about how difficult it would be to get down, but with all the snow and ice he would imagine it would be quite difficult. Though, it could be easier if he wasn't a human. Fortunately, he had a way of accomplishing that. He won't be able to stick to surfaces, but he would imagine that sharp claws would help. The teen would smile. The smile was somewhat forced due to being very uncomfortable in the cold but he was still trying to stay positive despite that. "I did not think about that. Fortunately, I might be able to get around with. I would imagine getting down could be easier if I wasn't human right?"
As Masamune spoke, Akio's eyes would widen and shock. This Digimon wasn't originally a Digimon? That was something he did'nt expect. Maybe he was a human too? That seemed like a reasonable conclusion. However, he realized he said that he was born into a forest too. "Wait, so you're not originally a Digimon? You're not human are you?" After asking that question, he would shiver again before he continued to speak. "A Holy sword? I would imagine that it's a very important sword of the digital world then?"

Masamune wondered what Akio meant by getting around with his problem and asked "Just what do you mean by that, kew? Are you some kind of spirit wielder or something, kew? That would explain why you are all the way out here but without a digimon, kew. Unless you are a tamer that somehow hasn't met their partner yet that is, kew."
Masamune took in how shocked Akio looked before the human asked if he was a human. Masamune chuckled before he shook his head and said "Me a human, kew. Never have been never will, kew. I was born in a forest as a tiny caterpillar, kew. Then one day Tenken landed in my forest home, kew."
When Akio continued to speak, he mentioned that Tenken must be important. Masamune glanced briefly at Tenken before looking back at the human and said "Another side effect of Tenken transforming me was implanting into my head the knowledge of not only how to use it but the history of Tenken, kew. You are right about Tenken being important in the sense that ancient angels used to use it, kew. It passed through the hands of multiple masters before ending up in the Empyrean Skies, kew. Then one night a fallen angel tried to steal the sword only for the inert Tenken to not react well causing it to be dropped into my forest, kew. After training for years in my forest home I adopted the name of Masamune, kew. Then later I began exploring the Digital World, kew."

"Yeah! That's right! I'm a spirit wielder! I'm still very new to it though. I only transformed a few times but I never fought or trained with it yet. I've been wanting too though." Akio was still very inexperienced, only having transformed when he was with Alucard, along with two other times on his own. He did'nt do much with it though. He hasn't fought with it or anything like that. He knew he had to at some point though. So it turned out that the Digimon was a former caterpillar. He had no clue that animal's could become Digimon too. Though, he assumed Masamune's transformation was permeant.
He would continue to listen to him as he told him more about the sword, it's past and even revealing it's name to him. "Unfortunately, I don't know much about these angels but this sword of yours seems to be very important regardless. Oh, and before I forget, my name is Akio. It is nice to meet you." Akio would say, slightly bowing as he introduced himself."

Masamune, despite being a bit cold and uncomfortable, had his antenna start to wiggle in a way that could be seen as adorable before he perked up and said "Since I was not born a digimon I understand the need to practice, kew. Not only can it help a digimon get stronger, but it also allows for better potential control of our abilities, kew."
"It is an honor to meet you Akio, kew." Masamune started before he then said, "But maybe if you were to practice your digimon skills it would be better to work our way carefully down to the bottom of the mountain where it would be warmer, kew." Masamune then chuckled before he said, "Besides I know how it feels to be uncomfortable seeing as Kunemon like myself aren't exactly covered in fur, kew."
Now Masamune had to wonder did Akio digivolve into a furry digimon or something else? After all spirit wielders could be quite surprising with their evolution lines from what he heard. Though he had to admit he had limited interactions with spirit wielders.

Akio would simply nod in response. He needed to practice sometime. He had no experience under his belt so things could go wrong pretty quickly if he was all of a sudden attacked by some rouge Digimon. He would continue to listen to Masamune. Honestly, training did'nt sound so bad. Masamune did not seem so bad. In fact, he thought he was rather friendly. The teen assumed he was experienced in combat to an extent, so why not ask to train with him. That seemed like a good idea. Plus, he'll be able to go into his Digimon form, which should warm him up quite a bit. Or they could start working their way down to the mountain then train.
"Yeah, training doesn't seem like a bad idea. Maybe we can train together if you want. We might want to start heading down from the mountain first though, like what you said. I can go into my Digimon form too, should warm me up with all of that fur."

Masamune was beginning to think that this Akio didn't seem so bad. Sure, the young human seemed an awkward sight in the Digital World, especially on this mountain of all places. Sure, Masamune may not have seen the entire Digital World himself, but he would one day know more about this world he was a part of.
"I have to admit, I may not have seen much of the Digital World, but I can safely say the cold is not my preferred temperature range, kew." Masamune said wiggling his short little legs in an attempt to warm up a bit before he then said "Maybe one day I'll even get a holosuit and visit the Human World, kew. Problem is choosing what this disguise would look like, kew."
The thought of not only getting down the mountain but training made Masamune perk up more than a little. Then the little bug said, "I would say the base of the mountain would definitely not only be a warmer place but would have solid flat ground to train on, kew."

Akio has heard the term 'holosuit' a couple of times now. It sounded like it was a disguise of some sort that an Digimon like Masamune could use in order to blend in with humans. Akio would chuckle before saying, "Yeah for sure, this isn't my preferred temperature range either! I'm not too sure how Holosuits work but I would imagine that maybe you get quite a selection of disguises to choose from if I'm correct." Warmer and more flat, steadier ground sounded nice right about now. He thought now was time to get going. He wasn't well dressed for this weather. If he was, he would not have too much of an issue.
"Since I assume you know the area better than I do. Why don't I follow you down and then we can train? We can leave now if you would like."

It would seem that Akio agreed with Masamune when it came to matters pertaining to temperatures. Not to also mention the need for flat steadier ground. This was good seeing as neither of them were exactly covered in fur nor had thick protective blubber to protect them from the biting cold. One thing Masamune learned today was that he wasn't planning on going to another cold region anytime soon. At least not until he had something to wear to keep himself warm that is. Then Akio mentioned that he thought holosuits had a selection to choose from when it came to disguises and Masamune said "Quite a selection of options for how to disguise oneself is right, kew. I don't know how some digimon decide what look works best for them, kew."
"Well barely better seeing as I can probably guide you down the easier to climb cliffs, kew. So, let's go shall we, kew?" Masamune said before turning and starting to guide them back to the cliffs. While some of them were sure steep others didn't seem so bad. Turning back and using his antenna to point and help guide them, Masamune said "All we have to do is slowly but surely climb down those less steep cliffs just over there, kew. And if you don't feel confident with the climb you could always digivolve, kew."

"Yeah I bet!" Akio would say cheerfully. He would imagine that there would be plenty of disguises to choose from and it turned out he was right. There were plenty of options Masamune could use. He assumed it would be hard choosing one. The teen would then nod to the Digimon as he began following him from behind. He would listen to him before saying, "Yeah, I think I'm just going to Digievolve. I don't feel confident climbing normally without the help of sharp claws or anything like that."
Akio would the take out his D-Tector fore saying, "Execute! Spirit evolution!" Akio would suddenly be enveloped by code for a few moments soon fading afterwards. When it did fade, a Herissmon would appear in Akio's place. "Ahhh, that's so much better! I don't feel nearly as cold with all of this fur!" The new Digimon would chuckle, looking over at Masamune with a soft smile. His voice sounded younger but he seemed to be a bit more cheerful as well. "Once you start climbing down, I'll follow you from behind. I bet you're more experienced Afterall."

Despite the cold weather Akio was starting to sound more cheerful. Maybe he just got more cheerful when he had someone to talk to. Masamune knew by now that some digimon and humans alike were just that way. "All I know is that when it comes to holosuit disguises I am in a toss-up between something strong and handsome or maybe something cute, kew. That and depending on the age the disguise appears to be I've heard that some digimon go to school with humans so I don't know if I should too, kew. Sure, my speech habit seems odd, but it can easily be explained as a speech impediment at least, kew."
Then Akio mentioned that he was going to digivolve due to lack of confidence with climbing without the help of sharp claws. Masamune watched as Akio brought out his D-Tector and spirit evolved into his rookie form of Herissmon. "I have to admit that rookie form is what some humans would definitely consider cute, kew." Masamune took notice of how Akio sounded younger as Herissmon than he did as a human which only added to the cute factor. "Well, I don't know about experience seeing as I just happen to be fortunate to have an ability that happens to make traversing any terrain easier that's all, kew."
"Okay, kew. Let's make our way down, kew. Just remember slow and steady, kew." Masamune said before the little caterpillar made his way to the cliffs intending to guide Akio/Herissmon down safely. Only Masamune took things at a slow pace so the inexperienced spirit wielder could keep up.

Akio was happy he had someone else to talk too. It's been at least a few weeks since he had a nice conversation with someone. He did think that speech habit was kind of odd but, he did not really mind. It was something that could easily pass as a speak impediment like what the Kunemon said. "Ah, so you do have a lot of options when it comes to disguises huh? I would just do with whatever makes you the most comfortable. You could learn a lot if you went to a human school in one of those disguises, it could be useful. You would just need to be careful. If you do decide to go to school at some point, I could always help you out if needed.
Once Akio, took the form of an Herissmon, he would listen to what the fellow Digimon had to say. He was cute, wasn't he? The Herissmon realized that most people probably would think he was pretty cute if someone saw him. He saw this as a plus in case he accidently slips up and reveals this form to someone, but thats something to think about another time. "Yeah, I guess you're right." He would nod before he slowly follow Masamune. He would be slow too, making sure to be careful.
