(OOC: This thread is a continuation of this one.) "This is it. The end of the line for you," a deep voice said as all movement ceased. The Trailmon had stopped at a dilapidated little platform consisting of not much more than a wooden bench and a small roof in the event it started raining. Takahiro vaguely recognized the voice and came to his senses. "Have I been asleep all this time? Man, I didn't even get to see the surrounding landscape!" he exclaimed, waking up Ryu in the process. "Wait, what? Where are we?" the sleepy Kyokyomon said. "We've arrived at the entrance to the Server Woods; we need to get off this Trailmon here. Hey Elson, are you coming?" Takahiro shouted in Elson's direction, not sure if he was just sitting there or had fallen asleep like he and Ryu had. "So, about my payment." the Trailmon inquired. "Oh, I almost forgot about that. How much Yen do you..." The Trailmon sighed. "Not this again... How many times do I have to tell you humans that the paper money from your world has absolutely no value here! I only accept payments in food or bits, take your pick."Takahiro anxiously looked at his partner, who had turned his head away from him to avoid any awkward questions. "Elson, a little help here?" Takahiro shouted through the opening of the door.

Elson didn't know what to do. He didn't have anything except a few Yens his mother had given him to have a snack the day he got to this "digital world". How long had it been since then? It was hard to tell. "Maybe this will do. I was planning to use them at lunch today, but our little incident left me free to use. It is, however all I have." Silversteamdramon suddenly interviened, extending its hands and revealing a mount full of aomething that appeared to be very strange tiny coins. When they managed to get off the train, Elson looked at Silversteamdramon. His partner, his digimon. Hard to swallow. But even harder to swallow was the sight of the digimon that had apperantly been spying on them. Just standing there, looking. Elson trembled and called Takahiro aside, poiting out its presence.
They walked to the woods, since there was nowhere else to go.
"My general, we just came out into the woods, pennyless, lost, without food or drink, and at risk of being attacked by something dangerous. How exactly are we better?" Silversteamdramon pointed out, in its usual cold manner.
" At least we can find something edible here." Elson simply replied. "And stop calling me "my general". Let's go."

Elson didn't seem to fare any better in the negotiation department than Takahiro had, but luckily the Trailmon accepted the odd metal objects Silversteamdramon offered as a viable payment method. "Pleasure doing business with ya!" the train-like digimon shouted as he disappeared into the greenery of the forest.
Takahiro sighed. "I guess it will be a while until we see him again..."
"That's IF we ever see him again. We got lucky once, let's not assume we'll be as fortunate next time we're in a tight spot," the small dragon said, slightly dampening the mood.
Suddenly Elson called the tamer over and pointed at something in the bushes. Takahiro could not see anything, but Elson insisted that it was the same strange digimon that just stood there watching them during their bar brawl with the Gotsumon back in the Hardware Den.
"I'm not sure, but I think Elson is being a bit paranoid. How could that digimon have gotten here before us, he certainly wasn't on the Trailmon," Takahiro whispered to Ryu.
"It does seem a bit odd, but don't forget that you're in the digital world now. Sometimes the impossible becomes the possible and vice-versa. Anyway, the others are moving into the forest, do you think we should follow?" Ryu replied in his normal voice.
"I think this is a really bad idea, but it's better than staying here." The pair started to catch up to Elson and his digimon, just about making out that the XROS general was planning to go look for something edible as they closed in on them. Takahiro silently followed Elson, twitching at the slightest sound of leaves rustling or twigs breaking.

The group kept walking for a while, looking around and trying to find something worthy of their attention, but at the same time, they were on the watch for possible wild digimon showing up. Silversteamdramon had it's sword on it's hands, sometimes turning to check their backs.
Eventually, curiosity and the awkward silence beat Elson and he asked his partner:
"Hey, Silversteamdramon a while ago you talked about there being a difference about Takahiro's device and mine, and after we saw the thing that happened to Ryu, care to explain?"
"Well my general you see, there are 3 kinds of digivices. The one Takahiro has which allows a human tamer to channel emotions through the digivice into the digimon, allowing him digivolve, which means to grow their power A LOT usually also changing the digimon's appearance. There also are the spirit wielders who use the D-... something digivices which allow to use the spirit totems of certain old digimon as a sort of armor. And finnqly there are the Xros generals who use their fusion loaders to do precisely that: fuse digimon. The new form is controled by the core digimon, in your case my generalthat being me."

Still walking through the dense forest, there was an awkward silence present among the group until Elson broke the ice and asked his partner about the different types of digivices.
"So that's why you digivolved and attacked those Gotsumon back in Hardware Den," Takahiro said to Ryu.
The small dragon waited a while before he spoke. "You may right Takahiro, I just wanted to make sure those digimon didn't hurt you in any way. You are my friend after all, and friends help one another."
Takahiro's face got slightly red again at the notion of Ryu calling him his friend. He had never had a lot of friends in the past; especially in his childhood years where he was bound by the strict rules his parents had set for him.
"Thank you Ryu, you saved my life back there and it's nice to know you wouldn't hesitate to do so again," he finally replied after carefully considering which words to use.
"You haven't done too bad yourself; you saved mine on more than one occasion as well!" Ryu cheerfully replied.
Elson and Silversteamdramon were still talking about digivices and what not when Takahiro turned his attention back towards them. "Hey Silversteamdramon, how come you know so much about all this stuff? Where did you get all of this information about digivices? I get that all digimon have some innate knowledge of the digital world like Ryu does, but you seem to know much more than that."

Sulversteamdramin wasn't suprised by Takahiro's question.
"Well, a lot of information passes through my little town back in the folder desert, and let's just say I am a... good listener."
Meaningwhile, Elson was still pondering about Silversteamdramon's words on generals.
"What exactly is a core digimon? And you mentioned they fused, what do you mean by that?"
"My general, a core digimon is the central digimon of the fusion. I heard that to fuse, a general needs at least two willing digimon including the core one and to shout "digi-fuse". But beyond that I don't know. And isn't that a fruit tree?" said Silversteamdramon and pointed out a tree not very far away such was covered with what seemed to be yellow apples.
"It seems like it is... Let's go!" Elson replied before starting to run towards the tree. He was really hungry.

All this talk about fusing digimon and such was very confusing to Takahiro. "At least I'm one of these tamer types, it seems a lot less complicated than being one of these 'generals' Silversteamdramon keeps going on about," he thought to himself.
The conversation suddenly froze when Silversteamdramon pointed towards a nearby tree, said something to Elson and then ran off with him. The only thing Takahiro and Ryu picked up was one of them saying "let's go!" so they decided to follow the other pair as they ran towards a big tree filled with what seemed to be some sort of yellow apple-like fruits.
"Hold on. How do we know these are actually edible?" Takahiro asked, managing to shake off his hunger and think first before acting for once. Normally he can be pretty rash, but not when it comes to these things. "They could be poisonous or something. Maybe they aren't apples at all and this is a trap set by that odd digimon you claim to have seen around here, Elson."
"I agree with Takahiro," Ryu chimed in. "We know absolutely nothing about these things. If we're going to eat them, we should test them first. I propose that Silversteamdramon tries one first; I guess he has the highest resistance out of all of us due to being a metal digimon. Then I will try one myself to see the effects on organic creatures," the little orange digimon continued.
Takahiro and Ryu arrived at the large tree, looking up at what indeed appeared to be yellow fruits hanging from its branches.

Elson and his partner agreed to follow Takahiro's suggestion, especially after he mentioned the digimon that had been following them. Silversteamdramon throwed it's sword against the tree, succeding in getting some of apples fall into the grassy floor, but it's sword nearly hit Elson as it too fell. After that Silversteamdramon apologized and picked up one of the strange fruits and hitting it brutally. An orange juice was spread everywhere, particularly around Sulversteamdramon giving the dragon machine a somewhat comical appearance, but also proving the fruits were edible. So Elson picked up the rest of them and offered one to Takahiro and Ryu before rapidly starting to eat his. It felt to good to have something he could call food in his mouth again.
" I suggest camping here. It's getting late and this tree is nearest thing we have to supplies." Elson proposed.
" Then I will take the first shift. I don't sleep much." Silversteamdramon advanced. "But we should make a campfire first, and we just need some wood which ain't in short supply given we are in the woods. We also have fire, the one Ryu can spit."

Relieved that the fruits were indeed edible, both Takahiro and Ryu happily took a bite out of their respective apples. "This is delicious!" Takahiro said, enjoying the taste of the food a little too much. "I haven't eaten anything this good in..."
He stopped mid-sentence. "Thinking of it, I haven't really eaten anything since I came to the digital world," he continued while he wondered what his parents were thinking right now. Taking the Trailmon to the digital world was a rash action, even by Takahiro's standards. He eventually managed to shake off the thoughts of home though. "They're probably doing just fine without me. Besides, this isn't the first time I've been away from home for prolonged amounts of time," he thought to himself, taking comfort in remembering that this wasn't the first time such a thing had happened.
Elson then suggested setting up camp right where they stood. However, Silversteamdramon then began assigning tasks and even guard duty shifts. "I thought Elson was supposed to be the general, not you!" Ryu laughingly commented.
Takahiro went straight into the woods to gather some firewood, which Ryu noticed and quickly followed. "Now that we are alone for a bit, what do you think of Elson and Silversteamdramon?" Takahiro asked his partner. "Well, they seem trustworthy enough at the moment, they have helped us multiple times you know?" the Kyokyomon responded.
Takahiro continued: "I know... It's just that there's something odd about them. For instance, how did Elson actually end up here in the digital world and why would a digimon like Silversteamdramon suddenly become his partner?"
"Perhaps it's destiny? Remember that we didn't exactly meet under the most normal of circumstances either. From what you've told me, someone deliberately put my egg and your digivice in your bag back at Shibuya station," Ryu answered.
"What's more, I even think they knew what was going to happen afterwards," evoking a concerned look of Takahiro's face as he was gathering firewood. "Why else would they give you a device that couldn't only help me digivolve, but opened the door that lead us here as well?"
"I suppose you're right, it does all seem a bit too convenient to be a coincidence." With a loud sigh, Takahiro ended the conversation, returning to the fireplace with a handful of dry sticks and twigs which he threw onto the pile already there. "She's all yours, Ryu."
"PYRO PUFF!" the little dragon shouted as a small flame exited his mouth, landing on the twigs and sticks and lighting a nice, warm campfire.

"I don't really care about that." Elson commented about Ryu's comment on how he was the general. " And my "army" only contains one "soldier" so far so I think the term "general" is relative."
When the group split, Silversteamdramon resumed gathering fruits while Elson stepped aside to avoid the falling sword. Once again he took out his fusion loader and just stared at it. What could it mean that he, amongst all the people on the world had it. Elson didn't believe in chance, so he just threw out that hypothesis. But what could it be then? And why did no one in the human world ever tell people about this "digital world" could anyone get out? Survive it?
Elson didn't want to think about it, so he dedicated himself to building small traps, something he learned from studing medieval battle strategies.
The day was gone when the preparations for camping were done. Elson and Silversteamdramon sat around the fire, both pondering about life in silence. For some reason the figure they saw assaulted Elson's mind again, still wandering what it wanted and why. And of course, what it would do to get to its objective.
But Silversteamdramon had more joyfull thoughts. It imagined what the other digimon from the army would be and how their fusion would look like. It dreamed now of glory, something unusual which quickly got of it's mind.
"Any ideas on tomorrow?" Silversteamdramon finnaly asked.

With the roaring campfire keeping them warm, Takahiro sat on a makeshift bench made from a single log partially put into the ground so it wouldn't roll over. Elson and Silversteamdramon didn't seem to be in the mood to talk, so he turned his attention towards his digimon partner.
"Do you think coming here was a good idea?" he asked Ryu, who was already half-asleep at that point. "Uh...what exactly do you mean?"
"Well, so far there's been nothing but trouble since we came to the digital world," Takahiro explained. "First we got ditched in that strange cave, then that debacle in the restaurant and now Elson claiming that the same digimon who was there is with us here in this forest..." Takahiro lowered his voice towards the end of his sentence, looking around for something in the tree line. "Isn't there supposed to be a path right there?" he then asked Ryu.
The little dragon stretched its body to take a better look before answering his tamer's question. "I don't see a path there, why do you ask?"
"Well, I'm pretty sure that's the way we came in here. See, that's the tree we got those apples from. There's still some juice on the ground there in front of it, which means this is definitely the same way we came. Either my mind is playing tricks on me or someone else is."
"Great, now I won't be able to sleep at all." Ryu complained. "Why not? We will have someone stand on guard duty the entire time," a confused Takahiro asked him. "It's because of this odd feeling I have. Remember when I sensed that Trailmon coming back in Shibuya? Well, I have a similar feeling now, as if someone is watching us." Takahiro suddenly jumped up from his log. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
This wasn't the first time Ryu had not told the full story about something, which could easily become a problem for someone who finds it hard to trust others like Takahiro. "It...it was just my gut feeling, and I didn't want to make anyone feel any more uncomfortable than they already were in this forest," Ryu stumbled, distraught by his tamer's reaction.
Takahiro turned towards Elson again. "I think we may have a problem. Well, two actually," he said with a serious look on his face. "Problem one is the fact that we're lost, I can't find the path we used to come here. Problem two is that according to Ryu, something may be watching us right now."

Takahiro's words were indeed disturbing. Lost and with a stalker behind them? It did not sound good. But Silversteamdramon had different ideas about the subject.
"I will stay on guard. But do me a favor and do take caution when you go to sleep. Elson has set some traps around to avoid problems with wild animals and they might as well work with that stalker. "
Solversteamdramon sure seemed sure and so far Elson had no reason to distrust it. So he just lied down and hoped to sleep.
A few hours later Elson woke up with the sound of Silversteamdramon's sword swinging against a tree.
"Elson! Seems like that stalker has shown up! It just seems like whoever it is has turned invisible or something!"

The group had discussed the matter and taken precautions in the form of putting Silversteamdramon on guard duty and littering the surrounding area with simple, makeshift traps before entering what would prove to be an uneasy slumber.
Takahiro certainly couldn't sleep, and couldn't stop thinking of how doomed they were. "Great. So I'm lost in a large, dense forest with little to no surviving skills at all; this is not going to work out well for me is it?" he silently mumbled to himself before finally dozing off.
Suddenly, a sword swung against a tree. Takahiro and both Ryu jumped up, frantically looking around to see what was happening, though neither of them could see anything though due to the forest being so dark at night. "What the heck is going on?" a worried Takahiro said loudly so everyone could hear him.
Silversteamdramon then said something to Elson about an invisible stalker, further creeping Takahiro out. "H...how are we going to find something that's invisible, let alone combat it?" he uttered, clearly not comfortable with the whole situation of a hostile digimon being around that could conceal itself so well.
Ryu jumped up from the log, landing right next to Takahiro. "Gentlemen, I don't mean to interrupt you, but we need to come up with a plan right now if we want to live through this night."

The persistence of the newcomers in running from Prophetmon was exausting. But the stars had asked him to go to them and asked them for they're purpose. He had followed them in the hardware denn and jumped into the trailmon with them, paying it an extra for it's silence.
After that he had followed and watched them, even the doubts this Takahiro seemed to have about the Xros general and his partner. Prophetmon didn't approve doubt, but he could understand them. The master of the gotsumons that attacked earlier was a powerfull evil that had even worse goals.
Prophetmon decided that night was time to move. Hiding in some bushes, Prophetmon said
"truth surge"
His spirit immediately left his body and roamed around their camp until the digimon known as Silversteamdramon noticed the marks his claws left and attacked. Prophetmon's spirit returned to his body, leaving the other digimon to attack the air. He then stood and raising his arm towards Silversteamdramon he shouted:
"Peacefull arrester!" a golden chain left the palm of his hand towards Silversteamdramon.

Elson was only half awake, but he knew something was off.
"Solversteamdramon stop! If this guy is invisible why are you even striking? How can you possibly know where it is?"
Silversteamdramon was a bit embarassed. How it have forgotten that? Suddenly they heard the words "peacefull arrester" and a golden chain appeared envolving Silversteamdramon. Silversteamdramon was full of fear, but wouldn't show emotion. It had to prove to Elson it was strong and worthy. But Elson was worried about his partner as he knew that he had set traps around and it would now be easy to drag Silvserteamdramon into one of them. "Who is there? What do you want?" Elson asked.
" Care to give me a hand with this chains, Ryu?" Said Silversteamdramon as he struggled to get out of the chains.
Suddenly Elson saw the weird digimon that stalked them again amongst the bushes.
"No Ryu! Hit him!" Elson said poiting at the stranger.
