"That was a real clever trick you pulled off there Elson, I'm impressed," Ryu said, before turning his head towards Silversteamdramon and whispering "I'd still like us to have that fight eventually though".
Takahiro wasn't as sure as the rest of the group, and for a good reason. "A sound plan, now this KingChessmon is going to gift us some supplies for the journey ahead. However, there is one small problem: Trailmon can't take passengers through this forest for some reason. Remember why we were thrown off in the first place?"
Ryu nodded. "Good point, but something tells me you have something you'd like to add to this little plan of ours." Takahiro smiled back at his partner before speaking again, making the dragon digimon a little uncomfortable. What did his tamer have in store for him this time? "Yes, but we don't need a Trailmon. Remember that we came here all the way from the west? We passed lots of area before reaching this forest, so if we follow the tracks back it should eventually lead us out of the forest."
"Yes, but everyone was asleep for the last part of our journey on the Trailmon. Who knows what we could be getting ourselves into?" Ryu asked, concerned about the potential dangers of Takahiro's plan.
Just as Takahiro wanted to reassure his partner that whatever area it was that bordered the forest wouldn't be as bad as where they were now, the KingChessmon returned and had his Knightmon bodyguard throw two large packs of supplies down to the group. "Here's your supplies, just remember what I told both of you. Now begone!"
Ryu picked up one of the packs and lifted it onto his back. "All set?" he asked his tamer, clearly wanting to get away from the castle and avoid angering the king any further. "I'm as ready as I'll ever be, let's go!" Takahiro replied as he swept his now almost-empty bag over his shoulder and marched onwards to where their burnt campsite was, with Ryu closely following.

"Me too. Hope to have a proper chalenge soon then." Silversteamdramon whispered back to Ryu. Takahiro`s reaction to Elson`s little trick suprised him. He expected shock, anger and that Takahiro denouced him to the king and Elson got in real trouble. But instead Takahiro congratualted him and tried to correct the faults in his plan. He proposed that they went back west with the Trailmon`s tracks.
"Just one little thing Takahiro. Don`t Forget that that Trailmon took us from a giant desert. As soon as we get out of the forest, we should no keep going West, as we are unlikely to know when we actually get in it. We probably should go North as as far as I heard that`s where everyone goes when they`re lost. Only after we get out of the forest, however."
After the kingchessmon throwed them some bags filled with supplies, Takahiro took of followed by Ryu. Elson and Silversteamdramon picked up the remaining bag and went with them. They first went straight to the camp and they followed small clues to the place where they thrown off by the Trailmon. After that they turned west and followed the tracks.
"Let`s sum up things here. What exactly happened so far? And what do we take from it?" Silversteamdramon asked in a mecânical manner
"Why do you want to know?" Elson asked
"I want to record it to make us better, my general. If I record the information of our past mistkes and adventures, it shouldn`t take long for us to be the strongest."
""Strongest"? Why should we want to be the "strongest"? Isn`t "strong" enough?" Elson asked, worried about his partner
"I wish to be the strongest. I want to have the power to impose justice, my general. If ain`t the strongest, how can we defend ourselves and even if we aren`t the strongest, we`re not worthy of beng strong if we don`t try to overcome ourselves. But the only way to overcome ourselves until the end is to reach the limit of our power. And that is to overcome all other power. Now... can anyone answer MY question?"
Elson thought about what Silversteamdramon said. It had it`s sense. Having been bullied in school, Elson knew how it felt to be powerless to help himself and others. Not not be worthy of what he had. And how it felt to show the bully who was the boss, by stabing it as his father had told him too. So long ago, yet still so vivid.

Following the tracks, Takahiro became more and more uncertain of his plan. They could just as well be going in the opposite direction, deeper into the forest, rather than the exit of the forest to the west. Then he remembered something he had read once: if you're lost without a compass, use the moss on the trees instead.
He deviated from the tracks a little to inspect some trees, but some had no moss growing on them at all while others had moss all over them at ground level. "What was I even thinking? Firstly this moss thing is probably just another myth and secondly we're in the digital world," Takahiro muttered to himself, re-joining the group on their walk along the tracks.
"You know, we might never make it out of this forest..." he then said to Ryu, who wasn't expecting his tamer to talk to him anytime soon after what had been a pretty long silence. "Don't be such a downer, of course we will. It's just a matter of walking along these tracks," he said. "Even if we're moving in the wrong direction we should eventually exit this forest; it doesn't span the entire digital world after all."
Takahiro sighed, knowing that his partner was right again. He couldn't help being somewhat of a pessimist though, as he lacked confidence in his or his allies' abilities to navigate them out of the forest. Suddenly the light got a bit brighter, prompting the black-haired boy to shield his eyes with his arm. "What in the world is that?"
"It's called daylight, Taka. You did it; your plan got us out of the forest. This is the Trailmon terminal we first arrived!" Ryu cheerfully replied. Takahiro couldn't believe it, they had actually made it to the edge of the forest. He looked at the train terminal, noting that most of it had been claimed by the forest. In fact, only one of the tracks looked safe enough to travel along. "I don't think we should expect a Trailmon to show up here anytime soon looking at the state of this station. Where do we go from here?" he asked his three companions as his eyes took in the beautiful sight of the morning sun bathing the entire hilly area in front of him in orange light.

Takahiro`s question was a good one. Where to go now? They just exited the forest and the station of the trailmon was bit "broken". Besides, Elson didn`t trust the trailmons much now. Fortunatly the king had told him something about the digital world in there, about the only useful thing he did, with the exception of providing them with supplies.
"Now we turn right. That should lead us north. It`s a much colder area than the Southern tropics, but I think we`d do better there. There is a masouleum there, or at least kingchessmon told me there was one in there, in which we can train and learn. Having in consideration the kind of world we`re in, that should be usefull." Elson proposed
"Now, come on! DOn`t ignore me, I have been asking you about the past events for a while now. Please, could you just sum it up?" Silversteamdramon complained

"So you really want to head up north?" Takahiro asked, pointing towards what seemed to be a mountain range. He seriously didn't know why Elson wanted to go there instead of to the west or south. Why were Elson and his digimon partner so fixated on training and getting stronger?
"I don't mean to interrupt, but that doesn't seem like the most inviting of places to go," Ryu added, having had plenty of time to take a good look at what his tamer was pointing at. "Remember that both Silversteamdramon and I are still rookie-level digimon. Who knows what could be out there in those mountains."
"Are you...afraid?" Takahiro asked almost laughingly. He had never seen Ryu turn away from danger before, even when he was still in his In-Training form. The small samurai dragon gave him an annoyed look before speaking again. "Not at all, I'm just worried about what we might find up there. The digital world is far from a nice place after all."
Takahiro looked towards the mountain range again. It indeed looked really uninviting and kind of frightening, maybe his partner was right. However, he had explored most of Shibuya and the surrounding areas back in the human world, which was arguably an even dangerous place in certain areas. "Suck it up Ryu; we're going to tag along with Elson and Silversteamdramon a little while longer. Besides, up there is a good a place as any to start our search for that digimental thingy KingChessmon told us about isn't it?" he replied as he started walking away from the station in the direction of the mountains one could barely make out on the horizon.

"Yeah, I do." Elson replied to his friend.
"Hey, don`t ignire me I..." Silversteamdramon began
"Shut up. We will sum it up on our way, right now we have more importante things to consider..."
After a small chit chat in which then was a small reference to Ryu being scared, which made Silversteamdramon feel good for doing it`s best to not show feelings of any kind, Takahiro decided it was best to go where Elson and Silversteamdramon were going. Elson smiled and nodded to no particular person: it was good to have someone who would travel with and be loyal, but also who is one of your own kind. In this case it was good to have Takahiro and Ryu accompay them in this crazy world. Everything here seemed upside down, so it they were like a landmark, something that wasn`t that confusing.
But a thought troubled Elson`s mind. His early deeds, Silversteamdramon`s words... was it good to have friends when you have this... lust for power and control Elson and Silversteamdramon shared. Were they evil? And what was he really looking for and ment to do in this place? To this place?...
