Another new area to add to the list, this one making a bit more sense than the last. It was an island chain off the mainland, it was quite obvious how no one would have noticed this before considering it seemed to be quite far. Shi riding on top of RizeGreymon while he held him and Yuudai towards their destination, if they were any weaker he might not have made it all the way there. They made plans to switch off halfway but Yasuo was able to pull through until the end. Landing with a heavy impact on the dirt near the start of the island, though the sound itself was dwarfed by the volcano's nearby. Shi was in a way more revealing outfit with nothing but a short-sleeved shirt and jeans, with a trademark hat, not the same one as before and he seemed to mind a bit.
"Another brand new area huh, how why?" Shi questioned putting his hands in his pocket, sweat a bit obvious on his face. "I dunno but this is the only place with this many volcanoes, right?" Yuudai asked looking around, as his brother behind him went back to his Agumon form he kicked some dirt as he moved getting the feeling back into his claws. "Yeah, there seem to be some but this place was like, I couldn't even tell from afar how much." Yasuo pointed out before walking up to the three of them.
"So this is where we're supposed to be, I wonder what this is about." He pondered pulling out a letter in his pocket, it was open and had some words on it. The land of volcanoes, come human and I will show you power. Either this was a prank or it was those guys from before, the ones pretending to be him. "Are you sure we're ready for this, I mean it's barely been a week since you got out Shi. Please think about that." The Agumon almost pleaded but with a quick shake of his head, Shi dismissed that.
"No, we should face this head on. And I keep telling you I'm fine, I can worry about myself Yuudai. If not now when?" Shi said, while it wasn't a snap like before there was still some anger behind his words, at Yuudai or himself wasn't clear. Little did the trio know another got the same letter, a certain red-haired and worm duo they knew pretty well.

The Digital World is full of strange lands, some that have not been explored in quite some time. As access to new areas increases, Dante and Wormmon continue to search out new territories in search of adventure. Having only briefly visited the Spears of Megiddo before, the duo is returning to further explore the volcanic terrain. Dante is wearing lightweight white and tan robes with a hood pulled over his head, and a long red scarf blowing in the wind. They arrive at the islands on board a large ship, one of the few ships that makes it out this far.
Dante steps off the ship and onto the docks, with Wormmon riding on his shoulder. The last time they were here, their friend Shirou mentioned wanting to set up a trade route, but this time it was just the two of them. Though, this time there was a strange presence in the air, and it wasn't just the ash from the volcanoes. Dante walks down the dock, and looks up at the grand volcanoes rising up from the ocean.
"What do you think, little buddy? What kind of Digimon inhabit these islands?" "I'm not sure, but I'm hoping there's hot beautiful ladies, frolicking around half naked." "Yes, that does not surprise me." "Oh, I'm so excited, Dante! The Spears are one of the last places that truly remain a mystery. Even when the Goddesses controlled most of the Digital World, I don't remember this area being contested. It's like a secret little island paradise." "It is a wonderful place. The mountains, the bright blue ocean, the sandy beaches, the unique plant life." "Come on, let's head inward and see what we find. Mush, Dante, mush!"
Wormmon bounces up and down on Dante's shoulder, tugging on his sleeve. Dante walks down the boardwalk, past the Digimon hustling and bustling about. What he doesn't realize is that someone from his past is also on the island. Friends from the past that they haven't seen in quite some time.

Glancing over at the ship that made it way to some sort of Dock Shi wondered if the person came there, while his letter did ask for Shi to come it wasn't that far-fetched they might have arrived late, or expected him to come on the ship as well. "Glad we took the express route." Yuudai said with a smile looking at his brother. "Next can we just take the normal route, you guys are heavy." Sticking his tongue out as he insulted them Yasuo went over to the crowd, seemingly guessing what Shi thought.
"Most likely referencing you Yuudai, too many apples." Shi mentioned patting the Agumon on the head as he passed. "I can't help it, food is sooo good." Yuudai was lost in thought for a moment seemingly dreaming about what foods he could eat when he snapped back to reality and followed quickly after the other two, in a near sprint ending up running past the two of them straight into the crowd, though managed to not run into anyone for a few seconds before he caused a conga line of Digimon falling over, though no one could of seen it was Yuudai thanks to his shorter Agumon stature.
Luckily for Dante it seemed to miss him, though what didn't miss him was Shi looking over at the only human who seemed to of walked off that boat, that seemed a bit more suspicious to him, so he quickly made his way over to Dante not noticing who it was thanks to the hood. "Excuse me, can I talk to you for a minute." While Shi now had a large scar on his face, a bit longer hair and a different hat it was still clear this was the same teen Dante had seen before talking in his cold emotionless tone.

Dante takes a moment to let the island atmosphere sink in. The smell of fish and fruit passes by in the air, coming from a nearby beachfront restaurant. Dante watches as a conga line dances in the street.
"Oh, look at all those Digimon doing some kind of crazy dance. I wanna join, Dante!" "I don't think that you meet the height requirement, little buddy."
Suddenly the dancers get tripped up on an Agumon. Darn tourists. Though in spite of the easy going mood, Dante feels tense. Almost as if a cold spirit was lurking in his shadow. As Dante is looking around, something catches his eye. He makes eye contact with a man. He must be a Tamer of some sort, if he's made it all the way out here. To Dante's surprise, the man approaches the duo. He asks Dante if he can talk for a minute. Dante recognizes the voice, but he can't quite put his finger on who this is. As Dante's recollection becomes more clear, he realizes who this is. It is someone from his past whom he had not seen in quite some time. Dante's expression changes, as if he's seen a ghost. Dante tugs his hood back, revealing more of his face.
"Shi? It's me, Dante. My, it's been so long. What are you doing here in the Spears?" "Wait, what? It's really Shi! Oh my Goddess! And there's Yuudai and Yasuo. Oh mon, this is too cool, you guys!"
It can't be. It had been more than a year since Dante last saw Shi, and that was when he was in a coma. Dante and Wormmon had become well acquainted while Dante was still a Rookie Tamer. He has met a few very powerful Tamers, but in Dante's opinion, not many could even claim to be on his level. It was as if this reunion left an echo. With Shi around, there is no telling what sort of destructive Digimon they might encounter.

Shi waited for a few seconds crossing his arms as the expression, or what he could see on the hooded ones face started to change a bit, more shocked than anything else, finally, the hood was removed and Shi was able to see who it was. Though he didn't do a double take since for him it hadn't been that long, being past out will do that to ya. "Dante? Yeah, I suppose it has for you." Shi pointed out given he didn't really notice the time go by, it felt like yesterday. "I got a letter from someone when I was recovering, asked to meet here, took a bit to find it as I've never seen this place before."
Yuudai after barreling through the dancers by accident eventually slipped through while an Agumon x got blamed, poor mon but hey least it wasn't him. Eventually bumping into Shi. "Hey Shi, Oh hey Dante, Wormmon." Yasuo said surprised while pointing at Shi. "Look he got better, it's great right." Despite the fact it was obvious Shi was fine now, Shi still gave a small smile at the enthusiasm for his recovery.
Yasuo was the last to arrive after seeing all of them come together. "Dante and Wormmon, what are you two doing here?" While Yasuo asked Yuudai looked up and down his outfit. "And what's with those clothes? You do some shopping since we last saw you." Yuudai didn't remember an outfit like this, he figured he would of with the scarf and all.
Shi though seemed more lost in thought, he heard about that event with Shirou from before but Yuudai and Yasuo didn't mention anything after. "What have you two been up to, hopefully, nothing too bothersome." Shi did have a track record of insane things going on around Dante, hopefully, that wasn't the case this time. But with that letter, it might be.

It was really them. Dante and Wormmon had ran into their old friends Shi, Yuudai and Yasuo. Apparently Shi has come here because of a letter he was sent.
"It's great to see you again. We've been on all sorts of crazy adventures since we last saw you. While you were in a coma, we somehow got into a crazy basketball game. It's a weird story." "I got to shower with the cheerleaders."
Yuudai questions Dante's fashion sense.
"Oh, these robes? I got them when I was at the desert. Perfect for tropical weather. Sometimes it gets too hot in my leather jackets. So you're here because of a letter? Wormmon and I are here exploring, and what better place than the Spears?"
"We have so much to catch up on. One time we went to this strange ancient world and fought an apostate. Then we went to the desert and stopped a revolution. Worst of all, this crazy mistress lady returned and we battled her at the Dark Fortress with Piedmon. Yup, Dante's always looking for trouble."
There was a lot they could talk about with Shi and the twins. Though Dante is curious as to why Shi has been summoned here. Maybe there is more going on than there appears on the surface. The part of Dante's face more exposed to the sun is already starting to turn pinkish. It was such a peaceful feeling, being on the island. Not like the cold, artic mountains or the vast, dry desert. It wouldn't be a bad place to stay if Dante were to live in the Digital World for a while.
"So, where are you off to then? Do you want to grab a bite to eat?"

Yeah, that first thing sounded familiar. "Yuudai and Yasuo told me about it when I woke up, Gotta be honest though didn't believe them for a bit. Though hearing it from you." Two people saying the same story, how on earth did that even happen when Shi was passed out, weird stuff has happened to him sure but. Does weird stuff just happen around him or something? "Though they didn't mention that part Wormmon, glad they weren't anywhere near that." From all the Digimon he met Wormmon was the only one like that, how strange.
"Ahh I get ya, those clothes in my Holo suit get hot too, which is weird cause normally I'm never hot." Though unknown to him he had given perfect ammo for something. "Nah you're always hot, headed that is." Yuudai had to admit, he walked into that one. "It is interesting though, I've never even heard so much as a whisper of this place." It was very strange for something just to appear like that, well maybe not the strangest thing that's happened to Shi but it was up there.
Then Shi was able to hear about what Dante had been doing since he last saw him, the answer did surprise him. "Sounds tiresome, hopefully, these weren't all one right after the other." Shi had that happen before, he had never gotten home more exhausted in his whole life. Though noticing Dante start to turn a bit pink in the face he held his hat a bit more down covering his face, while it did make him sweat it at least kept the sun out.
The trio thought about Dante's offer for a bit, while Yuudai was all for getting food Shi was the first to talk. "I think I should focus on finding out who sent this letter first, it'd be nice catching up and all but I Don't even know where a place to eat would be, especially here." Shi pointed out, and he didn't have time for a round trip back to Terminus just to go somewhere.

It appears the events that took place while Shi was out were almost too absurd to believe, but the fact that Dante confirmed what the twins had told Shi proved it. Dante chuckles as Yasuo calls his bro Yuudai hot headed. Usually with twins, one would be the more assertive one, and in this case that was Yuudai. Shi mentions that their adventures sound tiresome, and hopes that they were not one right after another.
"Well, now that you mention it, those three examples were pretty much in succession. But there's been good times as well."
As the sun beats down on these mysterious islands, Dante could sure use a smoothie right about now. However, Shi wants to postpone catching up, and get down to business figuring out who sent the letter.
"Ya, alright. We can help you look around, I guess." "Then maybe we can look around for some cute ladies. Maybe there's an Angewomon 'round here." "Unlikely. From what I heard before, there's mostly dragon and beast Digimon on the spears." "Then Bastemon it is. Meow!" "It's good to know where your priorities lay."
Dante looks around the area, but other than locals and a few tourists, no one really catches his eye as someone who would request Shi's presence for something serious. Maybe if they look around, or ask some locals, they might find who they are looking for. Though the one who sent the invite should introduce themselves, now that Shi has arrived.
"There's a hut on the beach that serves local food. We can go there later." "Whew. I just wanna get out of the sun before I turn brown. We forgot to bring sunscreen." "Do Digimon even need sunscreen?"

Well, it would appear Shi was right in thinking it happened one right after the other, as things like that tended to happen. If he didn't know better he'd say recovering in the hospital was a good break from the insanity that this world can bring. Except of course it was still insane when he was passed out so, who knows this world is probably just jank as heck. Though Dante seemed willing to help, while Shi was about to tell him he didn't have to put himself out like that Yuudai seemed annoyed at something.
"Wait food? there's food here? Oh man Shi we gotta go get some." Yuudai mentioned grabbing Shi by the arm and pulling him a bit. "Normally I'd disagree, but you guys did make me fly all the way here so, let's go eat." Yasuo added though didn't grab Shi like his brother had. "That's one thing you two always agree on." Outvoted Shi just gave a sigh pulling his new hat down a bit before looking over at Dante.
"Seems I've been outvoted, shouldn't take long right come on let's go." Shi mentioned before clipping something on his shirt, it was an EV suit he bought a bit back, while he hadn't planned on being around here long it was probably for the best he started wearing this due to the heat.
Yuudai and Yasuo both went on a bit ahead towards the beach to find the hut, it stood out but something was a bit, off about it. Mostly part of the roof seemed to of taken quite the hit on top.

Hunger calls, as the twins coax Shi into grabbing a bite to eat. Wormmon smiles in delight, which looks odd with his sideways mouth. Dante watches as Shi adjusts his shirt, but doesn't realize that he is wearing an EV suit. Looking for whoever sent Shi the letter would have to wait until later. Although they might find the one they are looking for on the beach.
"Alright. Time to eat. I'm okay with helping you search afterwards. We just came here for adventure, so we might find what we are looking for by helping you. It must be important to come all the way out here."
The group heads towards a large hut on the beach. Though something is strange. The hut on the beach seems to have taken some damage.
"That's strange. The roof didn't look like that when we were last here." "Looks like a game of volleyball got way out of hand. Do you think there's a super awesome volleyball tournament on the island? Imagine the teams. Rosemon, Angewomon, LadyDevimon, all bouncing around, wearing tiny shorts. Speaking of shorts, what if Nyao was playing volleyball? Mmm." "You're starting to remind me of Shirou. You would fit right in with that crowd at your Mega level. How would you like it if someone fantasized about you playing volleyball in a revealing outfit?"
"I would be flattered. That's right, you guys haven't seen my Mega form yet." "Let's hope we don't get into a battle that warrants going to Mega level. And since when do you have a crush on Nyao?" "Since she matured to Mervamon." "Focus on one of your appetites at a time, little buddy. Right now, we're about to eat."
It's true, Dante and Wormmon have not seen their friends in quite some time. Shi, Yasuo, and Yuudai probably have no idea about Wormmon's past, or his busty Mega form. It's crazy to think about how many adventures they have been on together since last talking with the twins. Hopefully this trip to the islands would lead to another wild, ideally safe adventure together. There were still many mysteries to the spears that Dante has yet to discover. An area this remote must surely be loaded with secrets.

Shi gives a nod but to the fact, if it was important surprisingly he shook his head. "Convinent is the word I'd choose, normally I would ignore something like this but I was going to check out the new areas anyway so might as well kill two birds with one stone as they say." Shi pointed out a bit unconcerned about this whole thing, after all, he had a lot of power backing him up so he could afford to get cocky once in a while.
Looking up at the roof for a few moments before shrugging it off and heading inside, both Yuudai and Shi did this but Yasuo stayed for a second, he couldn't see well but it kinda looked like a burn mark, might've been from the volcano, if so ouch. Though he didn't have a comment on that whole thing Wormmon said, wondering who on earth would play volleyball here.
Shi and Yuudai heard about the Mega form, but that just made Yuudai smile for a bit. "Yeah, you haven't seen us though, we've managed to go beyond Mega form, at least for a while." Yuudai said as confident in his power as ever, didn't look like the same Agumon that was beating himself up in the hospital.
Getting inside though one thing was pretty clear, whoever was the chef last time wasn't this time, this time it was a very tiny Omnimon, barely seemed taller then Yuudai or Yasuo and floating a bit above the counter, with a fake moustache on his face as he stared at the people entering for a moment, mostly at Shi. "Oh, er um. Hello, welcome to...." He stopped for a minute blank-eyed before responding again with the name of this place. Then just stared at them for a good few seconds. "Whatdoyouwanttoorder??" He questioned seemingly a bit scared for some reason.

Whoever sent Shi the letter picked a good area to meet him at. While the volcanoes presented danger, there are worse areas of the Digital World to go exploring. Just two Tamers and three powerful Digimon prancing around a tropical paradise. After taking note of the burned roof, the group enters the hut, looking for a nice meal.
To their surprise, the chef behind the counter is... a mini Omnimon? Both Dante and Wormmon are shocked. The chef seems somewhat shady, but maybe his appearance is misleading.
"Hiya, little Royal Knight guy. Nice moustache."
Dante orders some fish, and Wormmon orders some noodles with a side of soup. They both order fruit smoothies. While waiting for their food to arrive, they have some time to chat up the mustachio Omnimon.
"So, what's with the roof? Is that from the volcano or something? Do you have volcano insurance?" "At least we are sitting in the shade. It's hot out today."
Dante takes off his hood and uses his hand to fan cool air. A smoothie is just what he needs on a hot island day.
"Careful, Dante. You are getting your sweat on me. You're a hot mess." "I can't deal with you, and the heat, little buddy. Hey Omnimon, better add some kind of alcoholic tropical drink to the order." "Drunk Dante..."
That's the one reason why Dante wouldn't want to live here. It's just too hot out. Nice for a getaway, but the heat would become overwhelming. Especially to the pale Dante. Hopefully by the time he leaves, he will have a nice tan, instead of sunburns.

Shi was a bit suspicious of the chef himself, while he has used Omnimon before this one was small and he didn't really trust the way he talked, yet Dante didn't seem worried about any of this and neither did Yuudai or Yasuo, Shi paused for a moment thinking something through before giving a light shrug and ordering just some noodles, Yuudai and Yasuo though went for fish like Dante, which caused the small Omnimon to stare blankly at them for a few moments.
"Er coming right up." He said starting to get the order ready while mumbling something about why him and all that. It was then he noticed the roof as Dante pointed out. "Er, yeah very, very bad volcano hit. No insurance very sad." He said rather quickly as he moved about the area collecting many things and looking back at Dante for a moment, a stern look on his face. "No Alcohol today, try again next week." He mentioned before quickly bringing out all the stuff they had ordered, rather fast if Shi was honest.
"There we go, bone appetite, make sure to eat every bite." He said backing up in a rather creepy manner.

Well, the Omnimon chef is certainly behaving in an odd manner. He acts unusually jumpy, as if he has something to hide. Nonetheless, he brings the food out. Dante and Wormmon are happy to dig in. According to Omnimon, the damage to the roof was in fact caused by a volcano, but that seems unlikely. Also, no alcohol? Dante will have to embrace reality sober, err, virtual reality anyway.
"No booze, eh? Drat. At least this fish is good." "So are my noodles and soup. Slurp slurp slurp!"
Dante takes a big sip of his fruit smoothie. It tastes so sweet, probably due to the freshness of the fruit grown right here on the islands.
"Ahh, now that hits the spot. So sugary." "Sugar is bad for you, Dante." "Not necessarily." "Yes it is. Your sister said so." "Not when it is natural sugar. Besides, I'm thin. Sugar makes you even more off the walls."
While Dante converses with the Worm King, he keeps an eye on Omnimon. Something wasn't right here, he can feel it. At least they got to enjoy a nice meal with their old friends.
"How are you two enjoying the fish? It's not often I see you eat something besides apples." "Apples are good, but we're more into oranges. Especially orange juice." "Nothing like a tall glass of orange juice and a cigarette late at night." "Nothing like playing Last Odyssey XV all night long. Hey, you kind of look like the characters in that game, Dante. At least, when you are wearing one of your leather jackets. What is it about dead animal hide that you find so appealing?"

Well, they seemed to be perfectly fine with the food, Meanwhile, Yuudai and Yasuo were already digging in both their concerns washed away with the food. Maybe Shi was just being paranoid, So he decided to dig into his meal alongside them, despite the growing creepy aura coming from the chef as they ate. "Gotta say, it has been a while since I've eaten some good food, hospital foods a total shame, even the cakes they had were bad." Shi mentioned when they talked about the food, he could even remember it. Shuttering for a moment before going back to his meal.
Yuudai and Yasuo were eating but the latter managed to get something out midway. "We eat a lot of stuff, apples are just our go-to snack. If there's something me and Yuudai share it's an appetite." Yasuo managed to say before going back to scarfing down food with his brother. Occasionally taking drinks as they raced to see who could shovel the most food into their mouth, Yuudai was winning.
Though midway through the food you could hear the Omnimon laughing, it started slow but began to grow before becoming a insane laughter. "You fools, you've fallen right into my trap." He shouted tearing off the mustache revealing his true face. "I, Omnimon NX have come to take revenge for my fallen brother. Destroyed by you two." He said pointing at Shi and Dante. "Now the poison will set soon and you'll be FINISHED!" He shouted making Shi and the twins stand up pulling out the digivice. "Don't bother, it's too late now."
And then a moment passes, and another. And a bit though everyone seemed pretty much fine, Yuudai and Yasuo patted their bodies for a minute while the Omnimon got the worst poker face imaginable. "Wait, you're supposed to be dead, like instant dead. I er, it was just a prank yeah, no way I'd poison the food, go ahead eat more." He added a shaky laugh afterward pointing at the food for a bit. Shi did NOT look happy though.
