Server Woods, a completely familiar, yet new place. As a Gaomon, this place served as his training grounds for many a time. Now, as a Dracenamon, this place would serve as a training ground once more, but for a different reason. Being able to commune with this place on another level was something that couldn’t be put into words. It was simply a great experience that he was going to have to get used to. Most of the Digital World wasn’t as lush as this place, so getting too attached and ingraining himself wouldn’t suit him too much.
The job here was to get to some training and bringing himself back up to par. Running a paw through his mane, Zephyr scowled. “Okay, you can do this. It’s just like riding a bike.” He repeated to himself as if it was a mantra. Curling into the grass, the eastern dragon seemingly disappeared into the landscape without as much as a sound. If anyone had been within the area, they’d hear nothing but the sounds of rustling leaves as the dragon maneuvered through the grass. It felt like second nature that was for sure. The ability to meld into the environment like nothing was definitely going to come in handy.
Zephyr poked his head out of the grass, flying up into the air and simply floating around in a circle with a hum. Okay, so he had camouflage, a good mental knowledge of mostly ideal places for him in the Digital World, and a small grasp on his abilities. Apparently with Zephyr’s presence came the trait of being able to warp the land to his own needs. As a Child, he could only do so much, but he figured as he evolved, he’d be able to do this more to an extent. That was something else he had to cover; evolution.
He had no idea what came next after this form. As a Gaomon, he’d only achieved as much as a Perfect, but now…It was like starting back at the bottom of the barrel. Well, he’d overcome that with nothing but practice.
“Yeah, I can do this.” He nodded.
Taking a deep breath, Zephyr focused his energy as he normally did. Strands of data were pulled from the air as the eastern dragon shifted forms. The dragon leaped in size, quite literally exploding in growth. His body elongated, having gained feral traits such as jagged teeth, a wider muzzle and razzled fur. Muscles packed onto his body by the pounds, his gem glowing and increasing in size as well. In Zephyr’s midst was a literal monster of a dragon, whiskers whipping around everywhere. Several vines sprouted from the ground and wrapped around his wrists, the large eastern letting out an ear shattering roar. He stood on his hind legs before propping forward, a monstrous paw grabbing a tree and almost effortlessly rooting it from the ground. Gripping it, the same tree was launched into the air without a care in the world.
Several other trees suffered the same fate as the Zenryuumon seemingly rampaged around Server Woods, the gem on his chest glowing brightly as it was exposed to the sun. This flow of power was nothing like being a Gaogamon! He had so much more raw power in his hands just ready to be controlled. It was almost like the entirety of the woods was an extension of him. Now put with monstrous strength, the eastern dragon roared in delight once more. He had a lot of work to do before going back to Perfect.
He was oh so tempted to try and evolve again, but that would have to wait.

The girl and the beast entered the forest,A forest that the both of them have not entered before, or at least the girl thought that the beast had never entered these woods before. Although the girl was still a bit fearful from their fateful encounter back in Terminus City, she was still walking through with a resolute conviction and a strong face, plastered with a smile. The beast stood beside her, slightly growling through his teeth with his ever aggressive nature yet still quite tame, if you could count his inactions and his ability to just stay without lunging at everything in his sight 'tame'. The girl cautiously stepped over the tree roots and weaved her away around the branches, careful as she now realized the dangers that this world brought unto her. She still had tried to convince herself that these monsters were to be kind and good in all the ways that she could imagine, however, as she knew that from experience with her supposed partner, who was feral and malicious during their first encounter yet had calmed down after she had sang to him back then. Apparently, said beast was called a DexDorugamon, a species in these digimons that seem to thrive in the world that is not hers. She still did not know of a name for him, however, and she is still searching for one as she shouldn't continue to call him 'the beast', it truly is demeaning to do that and she knew how much he would dislike it. Despite the fact that he couldn't actually speak, she knew that he would clearly despise it. But the forest was truly an amazing area, nowhere had she encountered such a beautiful scenery in her own world before, and never so free and quiet at that as well, "Oh, isn't it amazing?" she asked, to which her partner gave yet another growl. She frowned and sighed, oddly understanding the incomprehensible growl and replied, "You know, you must not be so worried about me, I am sure that I will be fine, really!" she then leapt around the forest floor in a joyful manner, alike to that of a little child. Without meaning to and completely lost in her own thoughts, she accidentally stepped on a thin branch on the forest floor, breaking it into half and eliciting a cracking noise. The DexDorugamon paused for a slight moment before growling even louder, to which the girl had to stare disapprovingly to so that the beast would quiet down, which he did reluctantly. Suddenly however, he diverted his attention from the girl and growled much louder than he had ever before when a tree was sent flying overhead. "Strange things did happen here," the girl whispered below her breath, and soon enough, more trees were sent flying. The DexDorugamon lunged towards the source, as his instincts brought him to the core, to where an eastern dragon monster stood after the supposed rampage. When the dragon roared, the beast took that as an call to arms, and so roared in reply, ready to fight more than ever. His partner, however, had other plans. Placing a hand on the DexDorugamon's shoulders to hold him back, to which he did obediently yet his glare still held at the dragon's eyes, in an attempt to calm them both down she sang, "Are you, are you coming to the tree?" the words flowed from her lips in perfect pitch, "Where they strung up a man they say murdered three?"

Crunch.
Someone else was here. The sounds of the grass crunching on a set of new footsteps meters away reached his ears like they were stepping around not even a centimeter away. In this kind of territory, the dragon’s senses were heightened to an amazing degree. He’d had to explore this body more in the woods later. Zephyr scowled, continuing in his controlled rampage. If they noticed the tress being lobbed around like they were sticks, they’d probably be smart enough to not bother confronting him. If they didn’t care, it would mean he had some strong company or a pair of idiots. Regardless, the dragon ceased his tree chucking and decided to focus on another trait of his; restoration. With the ability to summon and change the shape of the land, Zephyr found that he also possessed the power to restore plants from death’s door. Sitting on his hind legs, he propped himself near one of the craters made from the ripped up tree and began to focus into the ground below. The grass began to flow, patching over the ground as the roots tied themselves together, literally making it seem like nothing had been there to begin with other than a small plant that would soon grow into the tree he had ripped up before.
For some reason, Zephyr muttered a small apology. He knew that none of the flora here would be able to respond back, but it was better than nothing considering he was, in some way, murdering his brethren while they provided nothing but strength. “Mah, no need to worry.” He shrugged his shoulders, giving the forest ground a pat before continuing on to doing the same process to the rest of the areas where he uprooted the other trees and made small craters due to his stomping. After destruction came rebirth, something he knew all too well. Before Zephyr could attempt to continue, his company had arrived.
A small girl and a large, seemingly feral dragon that snapped his jaws at him as they came into the area. The mechanical parts the dragon digimon possessed clanged as well. It seemed like a really weird contrast; a small, almost small girl and a large digimon beside her acting like a beast and growling at him like he was threatening his owner. “Tch, again with these kinds of guys.” The eastern dragon thought to himself as he gave them an even stare. The eastern dragon’s tail swished about in curiosity as the human sung. He had to admit, she had a beautiful voice, another contrast to the furred dragon beside her.
“Someone has a way with words. Can’t say the same for your friend there.” Zephyr grinned as he stood on all fours, eyeing down at the human, then at her presumed partner.

Wait was the dragon... Talking earlier? That was slightly bizarre, but not overly so for the girl, at least not right now. Considering how the lizard that she had met was talking as well, does that mean that all these unusual creatures and monsters in this world were able to speak with the exception of her own partner? That is odd, her partner is the one that is overly odd, not the dragon itself, Rika knew. She left this thought away though, she knew that her partner would have a reason to be mute and... savage unlike the others.
Nevertheless, the girl had sang to calm both the creatures down, although it was mainly just to calm her own partner down considering the state of his mind when they noticed the eastern dragon. Her singing, of course, had calmed down the beast alike that to the similar event during her trip to Terminus City, although the girl wasn't really sure if the eastern dragon was also calmed down or if he would react towards the beast's inviting growl and attack...
Well, fortunately he did not and instead talked, unlike the girl's partner. She breathed out a sigh of relief, fortunate that she would then be able to negotiate her way out of this instead of fighting; she would hate to fight, especially if she were to see her own partner in a fight. So instead, she gave a wide smile in response and bowed, "I'm sorry for my partner's actions!" once she regained her posture, a glint of sadness would be visible in her eyes as she continued, "Um... I don't think my partner can't speak..."
Her smile returned though, although the same couldn't be said for the beast who warily kept his gaze at the dragon, in case he would suddenly attack the girl, but the girl continued on nonetheless in a cheery tone, "Anyways, I'm Rika and this is my partner!" she said, "Nice to meet you, what's your name?"

Huh, guess she wasn’t as bad as he thought.
Zephyr nodded in response as he stared at the pair of digimon and human. They didn’t seem too bad, but the lack of words from her partner made him wary. The slightest word or movement could possibly set him off without meaning to. The dragon never broke eye contact with the digimon even after the introduction, just giving a warm smile.
“It’s fine, no need to apologize.”
He would have said more, but he was worried about setting off the beast. It wasn’t as if he couldn’t take him or anything, but better to be safe than sorry. Plus he didn’t feel like hurting that girl in the process since fights in close quarters were bound to have some crossfire. With a sigh, Zephyr directed his gaze toward the girl with the same grin on his face, but he couldn’t help but stare at the dragon every so often.
“Zephyr, nice to meet ya. Any reason why he doesn’t talk and looks like he wants to kill me?”
What better way than to get to the point? He half expected the response to be that he just did it willingly or because he was mute. He didn’t know too much of this exact species, so he was semi curious as well. Still, he hoped that thing didn’t randomly attack him out of nowhere.

Although the dragon had told her that she did not need to apologize for the threatening warnings that her partner had been heavily showing throughout the course of their meeting, Rika still felt the need to apologize as she felt that right now, she was in the wrong of things. So she kept her bow for just a second longer before returning her posture upright, slightly patting her partner's back in an attempt to calm him down as much as she could, although that really isn't working as much as she wished it would have.
"Oh, it's very nice to meet you, Zephyr!" she replied in a chipper manner, quickly glancing towards her partner to see if he would also give the same, warm response. When the beast showed no signs of backing down, however, she sighed and instead continued on, "Well... My partner would definitely feel that it's also very nice to meet you, no matter how his actions are speaking right now!"
When Zephyr asked her the question, though, Rika only frowned in response and looked down at her feet, "I don't know... I've only just met him too so I have no idea why he can't speak," the beast huffed intimidatingly and the two stared for a moment, which at that moment Rika decided to continue her explanations, "I don't know though, even though he can't speak verbally, I seem to understand what he says. I think that's why I'm his partner!"
Though the one question that was nagging at her mind most was the fact that all the trees were uprooted earlier. Rika was sure that the dragon was the cause of it, but just to be sure, "Also Zephyr," she asked, "Were you... The one uprooting all the trees earlier?"
