(OOC: Prophetmon is temporarily allowed to post in this thread for plot purposes.)
Takahiro flinched as Silversteamdramon was grabbed by a golden chain coming from somewhere within the bushes. "What the hell is that?"
Clearly not as shaken by the attack as Takahiru, Silversteamdramon asked for assistance from the in-training digimon currently hiding behind his tamer. "Okay, here goes nothing," he sighed as he launched himself into the air using his tail.
"PYRO PUFF!" A small ball of dragon's fire descended onto the golden chain, doing no visible damage to it. Ryu landed on the log he had slept on earlier, nearly slipping off.
Suddenly something moved in the bushes, which Elson pointed at and screamed "No Ryu! Hit him!"
Ryu, still perched upon the log, looked to Takahiro with a confused gaze. He wasn't sure whether or not to take a direct order from someone who was not his tamer. "I have a better idea," Takahiro said, breaking the awkward silence between the two. "Instead of trying to hit that creature directly, I want you to fire at those bushes and try to smoke it out of there."
"I see what you're getting at; it won't be able to stay in those bushes if they are burning. Besides, I doubt my attack would do any direct damage considering that thing in the bushes is at least a champion-level digimon judging by the strength of its attack," Ryu replied. "PYRO PUFF!" he shouted again as another small spark of fire made its way towards the bushes Elson was pointing at and started a small fire.
"What's a champion-level digimon anyway?" Takahiro inquired, wondering if he was supposed to know the term. "This is really not a good time to explain, but I promise I will do so later," Ryu answered, making his way back to his tamer to avoid being caught in the flames himself.

Prophetmon could feel the digimon strugling against his chains. Before he could say anything now it was chained a ball of fire came towards him and set the bushes he was on on fire. He had to run out of there, not unchaining however, his prisoner. Then he ran towards the two humans.
"I come in peace, don't attack! My name is Prophetmon and I am here with a message to you! Please stop!"
Prophetmon knew sometimes people would be aggressive towards his message, but this was whole new level of aggresivity. They started attacking before even knowing there was anything near them. He keeled, to show humility. Only at that point did Prophetmon notice the tip of his mantle was on fire. Hr picked it and put it inside his "mouth". He didn't really have a mouth or head, just some hair and mask that hid the fact his head was an illusion to hide the scattered data floating in there. The burned part of the mantle disappeared as it entered his head, turning into scattered data.

Elson watched with confusion as the stalker ran towards them with Silversteamdramom still chained by the golden chains apperantly were coming straight out of the digimon's hands. Who could this guy be? As the digimon introduced himself as Prophetmon Elson was a still unsatisfied by the information. Also confused by the person that had followed them all the way into that place and supposedly attack them first was saying himself to come in peace.
"If come in peace let go of my partner!" Elson said, suprised he just called Silversteamdramin "his partner". "And you might as well tell us why you were following us. And why you didn't introduce yourself earlier. And we would like you to chain yourself so we can make sure you don't try to kill us as we listen to you."
"Wait Elson!" Silversteamdramon shouted " You are the Prophetmon? The guy warning heroes about the incomming evil? Are you?"

Takahiro's tactic seemed to work, he couldn't believe it! The digimon that was sitting in the bushes came running out of there with a piece of what seemed to be his mantle on fire. However, he had not relinquished his prisoner as Takahiro had hoped.
Much to his surprise, the masked stranger came running straight to them, shouting words of peace.
"Ryu, do you know who this guy is?" Takahiro asked Ryu, who was just as suspicious as he was. "I don't have a clue, but his actions don't exactly help me believe what he's saying."
Suddenly Silversteamdramon shouted something about a Prophetmon who warns people about incoming evil.
Takahiro quickly stepped forward. "So you're Prophetmon?" he asked the mysterious-looking digimon that was still holding Elson's partner captive. "Honestly, I don't know whether I should believe you or not. You come here in peace, or so you say, yet you've been stalking us all this time and attacked us as well. In short, you don't seem very trustworthy..."
"He's right, why would a messenger like yourself do things like these? Aren't prophets supposed to be people of peace?" Ryu chimed in, still very suspicious of the new digimon that arrived on the scene.

Prophetmon did understand the concern of the newcomers,especially with the fact that he forgot to unchain the Silversteamdramon. He did and then spoke.
"Listen. I have followed you, yes, but you must realise you didn`t stay still. In fact I may only have found you because of those gotsumon. I must also state that I didn`t attack you, at least not in the ifrst place. But I tried to reach you with my spirit and this Silversteamdramon attacked it. I did indeed bring a warning, but I wasn`t sure if I should approach it directly based on previous experiences. If I may I would like to talk to you in better positions than the ones we are now. You see, my time is limited And my quest urgent. But I still believe we don`t have to talk we us lying around this way."
Prophetmon stood up and walked towards the campfire, now almost completly out.
"By the way, I am pleased to know to my work is recognised."

Silversteamdramon was bit embarassed for not his behaviour with Prophetmon. All this time and the things he had heard, this wasn't a very popular guy, but he was starting to be known.
"A... Silversteamdramon, who is Prophetmon exactly? From what you said he seems to be a celebrity or something." Elson asked still confused about the whole situation.
" Well he is far from it my genreral. Few know him. But in the alleys he is quite mentioned. He is gathering heroes all over the digital world to fight this great evil. Many say he talks to someone who lives in a stars or something like that." Silversteamdramon answered
"Like a god or something of that sort?"
"I don't know, ask him."
Elson simply turned. That's when Prophetmon proposed to them to simply sit down like if they chaps now. This was getting way too weird.

Curiously, out of all the things their former stalker could do, he chose to explain his actions and went to sit down at the campfire.
"Okay, I was NOT expecting that at all," a confused Takahiro said, signaling Ryu to come down from the log he was still standing on and cease all hostilities. They were clearly not the only ones confused about the whole ordeal, as a few meters away from them Silversteamdramon and Elson were discussing the same subject.
Takahiro turned to Prophetmon, biting his lip a few times. "Okay...Prophetmon wasn't it?" he asked, trying to come across as confident as possible despite being fairly sure this prophet digimon was playing tricks on them. "Who are you and what do you want? Aren't you supposed to be recruiting heroes or something?" he continued, vaguely remembering what Silversteamdramon mentioned about Prophetmon's 'quest' earlier.
"And why were you spying on us?" Ryu asked when his tamer seemed to be out of questions of his own to ask. "If you wanted to preach whatever it is you preach; surely you could have done so without violating our privacy or attacking us?"
Takahiro nodded, indicating that he agreed wholeheartedly with his partner. "You know Prophetmon, you have given us very little reason to trust you," he said with a very suspicious look on his face. "However, I'm willing to listen to what you have to say for yourself if you can give me one very good reason to believe you."

Prophetmon sighted. "Look, I have just answered your questions, Ryu. I didn`t mean to spy on you, but I couldn`t find a way to get to you in a normal manner, since you kept running and you were suspicious even before tonigt. And I am here to gather heroes, Takahiro..."Prophetmon said and he turned his head to Elson and Takahiro. "And about your question Elson I don`t what or who the stars are exactly. Just that they are wise and pwerful beings who strive to protect the world where you just arrived. Protect it from all sorts of evil, especially the one that is now arrising, seeking to consume to digital world itself. But there is a problem. The stars are unable to come to this world, they can`t even be heard...except by me. I don`t know why I can hear them, only that it brings me the responsibility to do as they say, to gather heroes to defeat this evil, even the ones that are yet to know they are heroes."
Prophetmon turned to the campfire. Watching fire burning that way remined him of many of his visions. He felt pain still for the lifes of so many innocents that were lost due to his innability to persuade the heroes faster, to find them faster, to defeat this evil. He turned again to the newcomers. In what kind of world did they get themselvs into? Why?

Elson was finding it hard to believe what he had just heard. "Wait, you mean...we? Sorry, but I ain`t no heroe I..." He started to say, but Prophetmon didn`t seem to be paying attention and he kept talking. Elson was a bit disapointed that Prophetmon didn`t really know what this "stars" were. If told him they were giant balls of gas and that he was goind mad it would have been more satifying than this. But the porphet caried on and told them about a rising evil that apperantly wanted to bring some sort of end of days to this digital world. Elson didn`t know if he should be worried about his words being true or him standing of a mad creature. "What do you mean by consume exactly?" But Prophetmon didn`t answer his question. When he finnaly turned back to the fire and shut up, Silversteamdramon pulled Elsons shirt. He looked down. "My general? Weren`t we supposed to put out the fires BEFORE they set the rest of the woods on fire too? Because they started doing so." Silversteamdramon said pointing out to the burning bushes. The fire had spread while they were distracted with Prophetmon. "Oh my God! We have to put out those fires before they burn us alive!" Elson said as he searched for some sort of liquid with which to put them out.

Takahiro sighed as Prophetmon artfully dodged his question by repeating the exact same things Silversteamdramon had mentioned earlier; about speaking to the stars and of the impending doom in the form of a new evil. He didn't feel like asking the same question again, so Takahiro decided to leave it for what it was and listen to what this prophet digimon had to say. Elson also asked a question at some point, but it went unnoticed.
After he finished telling the group of his mission, Prophetmon returned his gaze to the campfire, giving Ryu and his tamer the opportunity to discuss the situation for a bit. "So, what do you make of all this, Ryu? To be honest I'm still not sure what to think of this guy, but if there is indeed an impending evil then it does concern us as we could be in danger as well," Takahiro said to his partner.
"Then again, if this guy claims we're heroes, he's clearly deluded. I mean look at us, we can't even find our way out of this blasted forest," he continued, grinning at the thought of how pathetic their little group actually was. They would have been dead were it not for the fact that they got lucky twice. First the group were practically saved by a Trailmon back in Hardware Den and just now they had the luck of going up against a somewhat rational prophet digimon who was willing to talk rather than destroy them.
Contrary to his tamer, Ryu seemed to a lot more open to what the prophet had to say. "I wouldn't be so sure of that, Taka. I may be starting to sound like a broken record, but maybe this is the reason you were basically brought to the digital world. You said you wanted answers, this is actually a plausible one."
"Cut it out please Ryu, you're going way overboard with this whole destiny..." Before Takahiro could finish his sentence, Silversteamdramon interrupted the conversation with the notion that the bushes Prophetmon had used for concealment earlier were still on fire. If it wasn't contained quickly, the group could have a serious danger on their hands in the form of a massive forest fire...

Prophetmon heard the words of Silversteamdramon. He knew there would be pain to the inhabitants, but he had been forbidden to assist eraising it by the stars. In fact they told him to leave when it happened. "I know you don`t believe in me yet. You don`t believe in yourselves, in the fact that you are ment ot be heroes. But save this forest and yourselvs. There is a lake not very far from here in that direction. I will now leave you as the stars asked me, so that you can learn. Goodbye." And so Prophetmon walked away. To his suprise he doubted. He felt fear that the stars might have been wrong with these two. If so what would he be doing by just waling away? Condeming innocents? No, he couldn`t doubt now. He had to follow his path. The path of the prophet.

Elson couldn`t believe Prophetmon would just leave them like that. He felt the urge to follow him and pack a punch into that weird wodden mask of his, but even he knew he couldn`t just ignore what was happening. "Come on there Silversteamdramon. We have got to get to that Lake before it`s too late. " Elson rushed to the direction Prophetmon pointed out and Silversteamdramon followed. As they arrived, they saw this big blue lake, which reflected the moon and the stars. Not the stars Prophetmon spoke about, the ones Prophetmon spoke of, but the actuall ones. It was a beautiful sight, but infortunatly Elson didn`t have time for beautiful and Silversteamdramon didn`t understand it. So they both got some water on a leaf and ran back, then thorwing it back into the fires, having nearly no effect. "What are we going to do? At this rate, we might as well be adding more fire!" Elson shouted. What did they get themselves into? That`s when they started to appear. Digimon of all shapes and sizes, bringing water to put out the fires. Each one contributed less than nothing, but together they started to sort out some result. There were insects, dinossaurs, lizards, birds, everything I guy would expect to find in a forest and more, but gigantified and weird in shape. In short, forest digimon. Silversteamdramon was amazed on the diversity of digimon he had never heard about before, but Elson was worried that all these guys could be angry at them. As if in response to his fears a men-fly digimon approached them out of nowhere and said: "Do not expects us to be gratefull. We won`t harm you because you actually tried to help, but you started the fire and that is not something you had the right to do."

Instead of helping the group fight the fire, that had grown substantially larger in the meantime, Prophetmon simply walked into the forest and disappeared, stating that the current crisis concerning the spreading fire was their problem and theirs alone.
Elson and Silversteamdramon were already running in the direction Prophetmon said the lake would be in, leaving Takahiro no choice but to pick up Ryu and sprint towards the others in order to catch up. When they arrived at the lake, everything seemed so peaceful. No forest fires, the water reflecting the moonlight in a particularly pretty way and a beautiful view of the night sky. It was one of the most wonderful sights Takahiro had ever seen in his life, but he knew that there was no time for sightseeing. "Ryu, please give me a hand here!"
"Sure thing, I'll do my part as long as you do yours," the little dragon replied as he placed his mouth over the water and sucked up as much as he could before slithering after Elson and Silversteamdramon who were already on their way back to the fire.
Without thinking twice, Takahiro used his almost empty bag to scoop up a large amount of water, losing his wallet and cell phone to the lake in the process. He didn't care about that though; his main concern was putting the fires out before everyone would burn to a crisp. Much to his surprise, a bunch of digimon of various sizes emerged from the woods and started gathering water as well. Takahiro quickly retrieved his bag from the water and ran as fast as he could. His bag leaked about half the water it held along the way, but the black-haired boy was still able to put out an entire bush with the help of Ryu.
"I can't believe it; look at all of these digimon helping us. Why are they doing this?" he asked Ryu, who was out of breath from his trip from the lake to the campsite. Just as Ryu wanted to give his tamer an answer, a flying digimon appeared and answered the question, which Elson had apparently subconsciously asked himself as well.
A few trips to the lake later, the fires were doused, leaving an ugly, burnt swath of forest as a reminder of what had happened that night. The digimon all retreated into the woods, leaving the group in an awkward situation. "I'm so sorry Takahiro, all of this this is my fault. What have I done?" a sad-looking Ryu suddenly said.
Takahiro turned his gaze toward his partner before he spoke again. "No, it's Prophetmon who did this. After all, he stalked us, attacked us and then left us with the task of cleaning up the mess he made. You were only acting in self-defense."
He then turned back towards Elson and Silversteamdramon, ending the awkward silence that had plagued the group for a good couple of minutes. "So, what do we do now?"

"Now?" Elson asked Takahiro "I don`t know. I think we should sleep. If anything, this night was weird and tiring. There is no need for us to make it even more complicated. Let`s just sleep now and and think about what..."
"Or we could make some use of what happened and talk now. Afterall, with honesty you fleshbags rarely can sleep after nights as exciting as this one." Silversteamdramon interrupted, once more in a mechanical and cold way.
"Please stop talking like that. It freaks me out, especially after a night like this one." Elson said. He was too tired to tolerate Silversteamdramon`s way of speech. But apperantly it didn`t understand that and kept speaking in the same way:
"In what way my general?" The truth was that Silversteamdramon knew what Elson ment, but he had been speaking like this on porpouse. It had to seem emotionless, Elson couldnt know it felt emotions.
"In that cold way. Mechanical. I know you are a machine, but please, keep it nice tonight if you can. And if your point was to scare me enought to agree with you, you succeded. Let`s just sit and talk."
They both did. There no longer was a campfire, as the digimon had put it out with the fire. Elson didn`t mind about that.
"So, Takahiro where do you come from? What do you think about all this? What do you think we should do tomorrow?"

The group discussed the viability of sleeping through the rest of the night, but decided against it based on the fact that too much had happened that day for anyone to be able to sleep well. They had arrived in the forest, built a camp, battled a champion-level digimon, listened to what he had to say and finally helped the locals avert a catastrophic forest fire.
Sitting at what was once a roaring campfire, Elson asked Takahiro a question: "So, Takahiro where do you come from? What do you think about all this? What do you think we should do tomorrow?"
"I believe I've mentioned it before, but I was born and raised in Shibuya. Actually, you are the one that never told me where you're from," Takahiro answered with a smile on his face, clearly enjoying a moment of peace after what had been a long day. "As for what I think about this, I'm not sure. I believe Ryu may be right about everyone coming here for a reason, but I'm not entirely sure that reason is the same as what that Prophetmon guy thinks it is."
"He called the four of us heroes," Ryu snickered, prompting a strange look from his tamer as the little dragon had never laughed before. "Some heroes we are, setting the forest ablaze and needing the help of the local digimon to clean up the mess we made. We're no better than Prophetmon himself in that aspect really."
Takahiro stared up to the stars, which were now visible through the burnt branches of the trees around them. It reminded him of home, where he would be outside walking to random places until sometimes early in the morning. "I think there's two things we can do, we could try to find the exit of this forest, which seems like a lost cause, or we could try to find civilization somewhere within the forest. When we were back at the lake I thought I was a strange light in the distance," he continued.
"Maybe it was some sort of house or village? There are numerous small digimon settlements all over the digital world that are not documented, which might be what you saw. Whatever it is, we should probably check it out," Ryu sleepily added before curling himself up on the ground and falling asleep.
