Yuuki and Hikaru continued their little outing... Server Wood, it should be safe enough for just two of them, right? Well at least that was the plan, but the train was a bit delayed. After the fiasco of what happened in Shibuya that day, security becomes a bit tighter. They had to screen people who came from the Digital World side. As for those who comes to Digital World, the screening isn't that hard...
Speaking of which, in order to hide his his identity, Yuuki did something that's pretty bad.. basically, he duplicated his old D-3 digivice and pretty much fitted it with pearl digicite. that pretty much makes it feels "Digivice-y" enough. He also inserted enough fake data to make sure it pass as an ID enough. Of course right after he's done he just tossed it away to his infini-store.... or so he thought. He thought that sooner or later that faux Digivice will be found out anyway. That's why he sticks with his D-NexT... and here he is...
He looked at the D-3 a bit fondly.
"...I don't remember when I have this Digivice before, but... It's pretty neat huh?"
"Feeling a bit nostalgic?" Hikaru asked, half amused.
"Kinda."
In this small Trailmon, ssomehow today they're the only passenger heading to Server Wood for the moment. They're taking a bit stop to the wood and is currently waiting for more passenger to board in Railroad Plains ... By the way, eating in train when it's not Shinkansen is considered a bad habit in Japan, so by habit both Yuuki and Hikaru has yet feasted on their bentos. They plan to eat them after they reached rest area in the woods.
"...So where are we going to again?"
"A former crash site... ro that's the plan at least."
"Crash site, huh..."
"We nearly died there five years ago, in our first journey."
"...What the fuck!?"
Way to start the conversation!

"I do not understand, why can we not just walk to the Server Woods?" Hawkeye asked as he waited at the Railroad Plains Trailmon station with his thirteen year old human partner, Kaya Matsui. The two of them liked to visit the Server Woods every once in a while, as not only was it a calming place, both Hawkeye's old village and Eizo's burial site are located fairly close together. They liked to visit both places to not only keep Hawkeye's village in touch with his adventures, but also to pay respects to Eizo, Hawkeye's previous partner.
But today was different. They would usually port around the woods and then walk the rest of the way. But today, Kaya wanted to do something different: they were going to take the Trailmon to the Server Woods today. "It's for a nice change of scenery, y'know? You could meet a lot of interesting Digimon on a Trailmon." Kaya turned away from her partner bashfully. "Besides, I really don't feel like making the walk today."
"Walking is a good form of exercise, it makes you healthy and energized, ready to take on anything the world has to throw at you," Hawkeye would say, resting his left wing on his hip and pointing a claw upward with his right. Of course he was smirking and his eyes were closed as well.
"Why do you sound like my gym teacher...?" Kaya muttered in response. At that moment was when the Trailmon pulled up to the station. Grabbing her pink backpack, she and Hawkeye would calmly board the train and take their seats. There were only two other passengers nearby at the moment, an adult human male and what appeared to be his Dorumon partner-
"OHMYGOSHHAWKEYELOOKIT'SADORUMON," Kaya squealed in excitement upon laying her eyes on the purple-furred dragonfox. It was one of the cutest things she had ever seen, only having seen one from afar before in the past.
"Yes, yes, I know it's a Dorumon, that doesn't mean you can just scream like that," Hawkeye quickly said, waving his wings in front of Kaya in the process. He turned around and faced the Dorumon and his tamer, bowing in an apology. "I am terribly sorry about that. My partner loves Digimon, especially the ones she finds 'adorable.' Hopefully we did not bother you in any way."

Seriously, what a way to drop a bombshell. Yuuki can't help but to pray that this is not some sort of premonition. Hopefully that doesn't happe, otherwise he might have to pull Hikaru's cheeks for jinxing it so hard. For the meantime, he opted to pull a book. It's a book about recent findings in digital world, also tourism book. Sometimes it's not bad to just look around for things to explore, maybe there'll be something that sticks.
"...By the way, it's kinda nostalgic."
"Hmn?"
"Back then you used to do things like this too... leaning back, reading book... and to think that you were as short as Tetsu!"
"There's no way that I'm that short, right!?"
"Ahre? Did I remembered it wrong?"
"Please consult your head again!"
Just then, another person finally came onboard. One that immediately screaming about Dorumon,a nd a Hawkmon. Hikaru closes his ears, and thankfully Yuuki did too.
"...Ah, yeah, I'm a Dorumon. Sup?"
Even Hikaru is completely clueless on how to work with this huh. On the apology, Yuuki just waved it off. "I think he's pretty much used to it, it's fine... right? NotFoxy-san."
"Hey, my nick is--" Hikaru trailed off. But then he noticed that there's no way Yuuki couldn't remember that if he like... didn't get part of his memory back right? In that case... perhaps this journey is far more worthwhile than he think. Hikaru sat there, looking much happier.
"Uwah, gross... This guy just suddenly grin at nothing like that..."
"Oi," Hikaru retorted, huffing. "Anyway, you two should take a seat. The Trailmon is going to move soon I think... if there's no more other people who would jump in I guess."

Kaya was not trying to scream at the top her lungs upon seeing the Dorumon, if anything she was trying her damn hardest to stick to her inside voice. Regardless she still came off as a bit too loud as shown by the human and Dorumon each holding their ears. "Oh, uh... sorry about that. But you were just so cute I couldn't help it!"
"For some reason I feel like you could have," Hawkeye said in a deadpan expression as he grabbed onto Kaya's hand, bringing her to their seats... which happened to be directly across the aisle from the duo she was just screaming at. This trip was definitely going to be awkward.
Even though Kaya had just embarrassed both her and her Hawkmon companion in front of a couple of total strangers, the teenager still thought it was a good idea to continue talking to them. "Yeah, sorry for yelling like that but you understand, right? I'm Kaya Matsui, and this is my partner Hawkeye."
"Y-Yes... Hello..." Hawkeye responded, not turning his head towards them as he continued to look out the window.
"Are you guys going to the Server Woods too?" So far it appeared that both Kaya and Hawkeye definitely had no idea who these guys were, despite knowing WHO they were, if that makes sense. This would be good for the incognito duo, at least for the moment.

"Are you sure this is the right Trailmon to get to Rosewood, Hana?" Data asked as the three of them ran towards the train-like Digmon. The trio was heading toward Rosewood for an annual Flower festival they read about in a brochure, but were running late so they had to hurry to get onboard before the train to Rosewood left.
"According to the station map, it is." Hana quickly replied, not slowing down as the approached the Trailmon.
Luckily, they managed to make it onto the Trailmon before it managed to leave. Out of breath from all the running, Hana sat down on the nearest open seat. "Whew, we made it. Next stop, Rosewood!"
"We wouldn't have ended up almost missing the Trailmon if you had actually kept an eye on the time." Data muttered to himself, while Rush stared out the nearest window to get a good look at the area surrounding the Trailmon.
It was at this point that Hana noticed the other people in the train car, consisting of two teens, a Dorumon, and a Hawkmon. "Oh, hello. Are you guys heading to the Rosewood Flower Festival, too?"

"Cute, is it?" Hikaru parroted, chuckling a bit. Man if this girl knows about his true form, maybe this girl would not just squeal and probably outright screams? Eh whatever... Not like they gonna find out for the moment anyway. They're not heading to same place are they?
"Well yeah I understand, but I'm pretty much ron on the mill Dorumon you know? You gonna see tons of us, maybe you gonna get a mercenary, and that mercenary is a Dorumon, who knows! I heard that sort of thing is kinda popular... Therapy Digimons who got hired to take care both the humans and Digimons and have healing abilities."
Hm, introduction. Yuuki glanced at Hikaru as a sign. "Right, name's Blake, this is my parnter, Tatsuya. How it goes?"
Oh they're heading to the same place. "Yeah, we'll probably get drops off midway though. Our place of interest is a bit before that I guess."
And here comes another... What? Rosewood? Hikaru blinked.
But just then the Trailmon began to move. Right, they need to resume their work on time, but...
"...Uh, young lady, I'm not sure what to tell you but this train is not heading to Rosewood... And what annual flower festival?" Owen would have told him if there's annual festival... If anything the one that have festival is... Actually, WHICH ONE is having festival right now?
"The Trailmon that's heading to Rosewood is the one with Rosewood City crest on them you see... and they usually don't stop in Railroad Plains like what happened just now. They usually stops around the Bayou and Server Wood thankfully, so you can transit there, but.." Yuuki looked at the digital world clock that he kept carrying. If he remembered... He flipped some pages of the book and found the schedule.
"Well let's just say that it'll be probably gonna take a while, and if you have ridable Digimons, best get on their back instead and just nyoom if you got what I mean."

"One of the cutest Digimon I've seen so far," Kaya confirmed. "And it doesn't matter if you're just a 'run of the mill' Dorumon like you say. Shouldn't really take away from anything that makes you special, right? And besides, there should always be more Digimon like Hawkmon or Dorumon in the world anyways!"
After they introduced themselves, Kaya and Hawkeye would learn the names of the human and Dorumon to be Tatsuya and Blake respectively. "Well it's nice to meet the both of you! How long have you two been partners? Hawkeye and I have known each other for over a year and a half now."
"It has been quite a long ride," Hawkeye admitted. Their story would probably be about ten or fifteen chapters long by this point.
It turned out that these two were also heading to the Server Woods, but not necessarily the same area. "Oh, so you'll probably be getting off before us. That's a shame. Do you guys have a Tamernet account?"
Another passenger would get onto the train this time. Another female human, this one being a year or so older than Kaya, along with the gear-like Digimon Hagurumon and a Keramon. Oh great, another Kaya, Hawkeye thought. He loved his partner to bits, but she could still sometimes be a bit much to handle.
The girl asked if the others were heading to something called the Rosewood Flower Festival. Kaya and Hawkeye both sweatdropped. Scratch her being another Kaya, she's actually another Luna!
"Um... about that..." Kaya said, scratching her neck with her finger a bit, not sure how to phrase this politely. Luckily Tatsuya and Blake stepped in and explained it to her, that she was just on the wrong train entirely. "Y-Yeah, what they said..."

Hana just stared ahead blankly for a moment, before silently tearing up the brochure in her hands into 4 pieces and tossing them on the floor without changing her facial expression. "Well, that brochure lied to me. Data, remind me to kill Sakura next time we see her for sending us on this wild goose chase."
At this, a knocking could be heard coming from the window behind Hana. Hana turned around to see Sakura wave at her as the ThornLillymon clung to the side of the Trailmon. Hana silently opened the window, upon which Sakura climbed inside of the car.
"Thanks for letting me in, Hana. You called for me?" Sakura sweetly asked.
"Well, I was just told that you apparently sent us on the wrong train to try to reach a festival that isn't even real." Hana calmly said. Her face still wore that same smile but the smile no longer extended to her eyes, within which one could see the tranquil fury that was now radiating off of Hana in waves.
"Ah, so you caught on to my little prank, then?" Sakura nervously asked. The 4-foot-tall plant Digimon realized that she may have made a big mistake, as Hana tilted her head in a way that sent a shiver down Sakura's spine. Upon hearing Sakura's question Hana's restraint finally broke as she leapt at the ThornLillymon with an angry scream, but was prevented from strangling the ThornLillymon due to Data and Rush holding her back.
"Run, you fool. Run for your life. I don't know how long we can hold her back." Data urged, as the twins struggled to hold Hana back. The teen could be heard angrily ranting at Sakura, her words coming out so quickly that it was impossible to tell what she was actually saying. "I said RUN!!!"
"Crapcrapcrapcrapcrap!" Sakura shrieked, panicking as she ran out of the train car towards the front of the Trailmon.

Hmn, that was nice, but Hikaru is not sure about individuality considering he is wearing something that made to be as inconspicious as possible. Probably a bit of flair here and there, but it completely hides his kilt and any other accessories that he usually wear.
"That's what I'm saying. You'll probably meet someone cuter than me anyway in the future." current him at least. The real him would have outright declared that he's the most majestic there is.
How long have they been partner, is it? "...Hmmm, how long was it again?"
"I kinda forgot" Yuuki answered "but I got busy after some time and just recently trying to reconnect to the digital world. Visiting old places..."
It's actually five, but that gonna be way too suspicious to be told outright. Plus as Hikaru is, he only emits enough power for a child stage Digimon, unlike few weeks ago where he emits strong enough of power to show people that he's a veteran. The gap in power should be enough of a cover anyway.
"I can imagine," Hikaru sympathetically commented about things that have happened.
Though, on the question whether they have Tamernet account made Yuuki raises his eyebrow. Is... is this practice very common right now for new kids? Met someone new and suddenly "Tell me your tamernet account"? Of course they can't give out their information considering Yuuki's Tamernet handle would outright leads to the real him. Instead, he answered in more safe way.
"I don't think I'm comfortable enough to share something like that in our first meeting, I'm sorry."
And there's... scene of carnage, he guessed. But Yuuki is pretty much used to it. He can't help but to glance at Hikaru, who already produced two cups of warm green tea. Yuuki and Hikaru sipped the tea while looking at the situation... someone wanted to strangle another, some peaking anger because a prank... I guess this is what bonding is, huh?
"It's really peaceful, huh?" Yuuki commented.
"Yep, so peaceful." Hikaru answered.
That probably will make them get a retort by someone.But either way the Trailmon let out a loud "Choo"
"Dear passengers, please restrain your antics. Unruly behavior that disturb other passsengers might lead you to get kicked out of me! Thank you very much for your attention and cooperation!"
"The Trailmon nowadays are a lot more professional huh? Hikaru mused outloud.
"Might be just that we rode a cranky one because we wanted to save some train fare, heh."

"Well I suppose that Dorumon king of Ys is pretty cute, too..." Kaya admitted, she only saw him from a distance but he was definitely the most majestic Dorumon she had seen up to that point in time. "I'd love to meet him again at some point. But meeting you is just as nice, Blake. And you too, Tatsuya. The more Digital World friends, the merrier, after all."
Tatsuya admitted that he forgot how long he and Blake had been partners for. He said he got busy and now was just trying to reconnect to the Digital World. "So you haven't been here for a while, have you? Have you seen Rosewood yet? It's a very pretty city, Hawkeye and I visited a friend there not too long ago. It's like nature built into the city itself!"
Speaking of Rosewood, the girl who was headed to Rosewood had discovered the truth, that her brochure was apparently a fake. A variant of Lillymon named Sakura would then enter the Trailmon via window, who revealed to Hana that it was indeed a prank. So Hana reacted accordingly: leaping at Sakura in an attempt to inflict violence, only being held back by her Hagurumon and Keramon partners and giving Sakura a chance to run away.
Kaya and Hawkeye were both shocked, Hana was acting so animalistic that the two actually tried backing up closer to the window as they watched the situation unfold. "Y-You must stop this, there must be no fighting on the Trailmon," Hawkeye tried to speak up.
How were the other two reacting to such behavior? Well, they were each having a cup of green tea, of course! Both Kaya and Hawkeye were shocked to see this. "You're having tea NOW?!" Hawkeye asked, not believing what he was seeing in front of him.

"Yeesh, I've never seen Hana get this worked up before." Data said, as he noticed the other girl and the Hawkmon backing away from the twins holding back their furious partner. "Uh, I don't suppose any of you could lend us a hand with calming her down before she actually hurts someone?"
At this point, Rush had fished Hana's digivice out of her pocket and used it to digivolve to Chrysalimon. The Chrysalimon then used his tentacles to effortlessly wrap Hana up and carry her to the back of the Trailmon car to cool her head. Now that Hana had been properly restrained, Data let out a sigh of relief, before floating over to the freaked out girl and the Hawkmon.
"I'm deeply sorry about Hana scaring you guys like that. She usually behaves a lot better than this." Data apologized. "I've never seen her get so worked up like this before. From what I've heard, even the one time that MarineDevimon killed me didn't elicit anything this... visceral from her."
Back with Hana and Rush, Hana had calmed down a bit, now merely looking irritable as she stared at nothing in particular.

Hikaru raised an eyebrow at the mention of King of Ys (him). Deep inside he chuckled. If only these people met the real Tatsuya and Blake... If only. What would he said when he saw him, now a king? But either way, he's now a king in name only. a king who can't protect his people are just useless figurehead. And that's why he's here to begin with. To retrace his roots.
"Hmmm, that guy huh?" Hikaru mused. "It's probably pretty easy to meet him out of random. It's harder to pinpoint him, but he's pretty much... like meeting a roaming legendary I guess? That's how he works I guess. He's everywhere, and you have better chance to meet him out of random rather than by asking an audience with him. Of course if you're not registered as the Ys citizen that is."
"That's probably one of the rarer moment where a Digimon references Pokemon games." Yuuki amusedly pointed.
"I mean it's not wrong!"
To answer the question... "Only when it was a village," Yuuki commented. "But afterward never again. A bit too busy to even walk there."
Technically as for Hikaru he have been there a lot to meet his beloved Gaomon of course! But he never lingers for long. He just came, eat and talk, spend some times and then returns again in night train. Usually he came once every week. He called first of course. Owen did the same, especially considering his father lives in Ys.
"Yes, tea is good for calming your nerves down you know?" Hikaru commented, sipping more of his tea. "Oh, would you like to have some? If you have a cup of your own I could make it pretty easily!"
Though one comment caught his attention... Something about dying and the lady didn't react this badly? Huh? There's something a bit wrong there... Or perhaps it's because the brain overload? Who knows, but that claim definitely caught his attention, and not in good way.
"Excuse me, are we nearing server wood yet?" Hikaru asked.
"We're almost there, dear passenger!"
"Please drop us somewhere more... lush just in case. Let's see... the heart of it should do good."
And after a while, the train stopped. Yuuki and Hikaru immediately jumped off the train and stretches their body. "Whew, alright then... Shall we go looking for things to do? First thing first, what should we do?" Hikaru asked.
"Let's see... I guess looking for the place where it all happened... would be the best bet."
"In that case we can just follow the rail... unless the path of the rail sorta changed."
"How can it change?"
"Digimon battling can cause quite the damage. In that case, usually the track is either a: repaired, or b: moved elsewhere. But in case of B there should be plenty enough of a clue, like there should be some marking...."
But would that marking stays for close to thirty five years? Yuuki sincerely doubted it, but there's no other way. "Well then, what happened first and foremost?"
"Our compass didn't work, our phone got massive error, and after that... we were greeted by a lawyer and his Bearmon."
"Sounds grand."
"Some idiot "tried" to deescalate the situation, ended up escalating it."
"Double grand."
"He immediately accused the lawyer of being evil, and caused battle happened to begin with."
"That guy really need their brain checked, but enough of that. Let's get moving shall we?"

"Well, I'm confident that I'll meet him again someday," Kaya said, a big smile on her face. "Dunno when or where, but one day I'll meet him once again. I just love meeting new Digimon, seeing new Digimon. It's very exciting, y'know? But seeing a special Dorumon like that... I can't even describe it!"
"Sometimes Kaya here can get a bit overzealous when it comes to new Digimon, especially of the 'cute' variety as you have clearly seen earlier," Hawkeye stated. Tatsuya then commented that he and Blake have only been to Rosewood while it was still just a village. "Well, it's much different than how you probably remember it being."
Now back to the chaos unfolding at this very moment, the Keramon successfully grabbed Hana's Digivice and digivolved to a scary-looking Digimon with tentacles, who used them to grab onto Hana and carried her to the back of the Trailmon car. While Tatsuya and Blake were just calmly drinking tea, Kaya and Hawkeye were still attempting to process what the hell just happened in front of them!
"I... I hope I never act like that," Kaya muttered. The gear-like Digimon then floated up to them, apologizing for the girl's behavior. Apparently she was never this worked up before, even after he was killed by a MarineDevimon. "No no, that's okay, really," Kaya tried to say, as she was unsure what to say at this very moment.
... ... ... ...
"Wait, after you were what?!" Kaya and Hawkeye both asked at the same time. It took a bit for that piece of information to click in their brains, but after they figured it out... how was he able to say he was killed so CASUALLY?!?!?
Kaya would use the remaining time on the train to doodle some quick doodles in her notebook detailing the craziness that happened on this train, including various notes. Once the train stopped Kaya and Hawkeye quickly got off the train, most likely to avoid having to talk to that crazy girl and her equally weird partners again.
I think that girl goes to my school... hopefully we don't run into each other there.
Once off the Trailmon, Kaya and Hawkeye would stretch as well, it was nice to be outside again. At least they didn't have much farther to walk to get to their own destination, at least. Well, unless something happened right here and now, but what were the chances of that?

"What, the fact my Armor Ultimate form got torn apart by a MarineDevimon? It was hardly the first time I died, and I don't really remember it all too well anyways. I stayed behind to keep MarineDevimon distracted while everyone else escaped, and then it gets rather blurry after that. I mean, I freaked out when I hatched again afterwards, but I'm over it now." Data casually said with a chuckle. "I've seen so much crazy stuff that nothing really fazes me anymore, and I have a lot of repressed traumatic memories."
At that point, the door Sakura had run through opened up and an irritated WereGarurumon who had what looked like spilled coffee on his fur walked in.
"Does this sassy, lost child belong to any of you punks?" he asked, holding a pitiful-looking Sakura up by the scruff of her neck like a kitten. He dropped her on the floor, where she just laid face down, before turning around and leaving while slamming the door behind him.
"What happened to you?" Data asked the ThornLillymon.
"I don't want to talk about it." Sakura mumbled from the floor.
Back with Hana and Rush, Hana had finally managed to calm down enough that Rush felt comfortable letting her go (gently patting her head with a tentacle as he did so). Taking a deep breath, the Tamer calmly walked over to the limp ThornLillymon and helped her off of the floor.
"I'm sorry about how I reacted, Sakura. I shouldn't have been so harsh on you." Hana apologized, legitimately regretting her previous actions.
"It's okay, I forgive you. It was kind of mean of me to do that to you, so I suppose we both messed up today. Water under the bridge." Sakura said, accepting the teen's apology. Shortly after, the Trailmon arrived at their destination and everyone filed out of the Trailmon.
"Soooo, what do we do now?" Han asked, as they looked around the section of the Server Woods they were currently in. "Did you have a plan for what we'd do upon arriving here, Sakura?"
Sakura's pink face paled as she started to sweat. "I... didn't think that far ahead."

Just as they expected to split for the rest over here... Something... happened. Something that doesn't feel... good. Hikaru immediately perked, tail bristling in anticipation of change in atmosphere. "...Something feels wrong..." he mused.
"Something?"
"I don't quite like this, but I feel density in the data shifted suddenly... As if... Something is coming. Teleporting? Something opening? I dunno..."
Yuuki don't need any elaborate explanation from that... it semeed like something dangerous is happening then. The KIZNA leader immediately signalled to Hikaru that he'd like to follow this train of thought. Whatever it is, if it caused something shifting in the Server Wood then it can't be good. Their current bet at the moment is to check it out just in case, and then probably... ask about the locals about it. Afterward, inform Rosewood. Yuuki let Hikaru leads deeper.
"....How's the state of this density?" Yuuki asked to Hikaru.
"...It's continuous... Like... currently it's affecting the atmosphere.It's like what happened if you open a room sized freezer. The cool air permeates right? It's similar to that. However, it's so thick that it's causing disturbance on the air... and... how else to explain it? I dunno at the moment honestly!"
"...Sorry, it's probably something that you're not attuned to, huh?"
"That's not the case, it's just..." Hikaru trailed off. Oh, it's because he's weaker now in stage, he's unable to perceive the state correctly.
"Nevermind, sorry I asked."
"No problem... Anyway, I think we'll be approaching the center pretty so--"
and there was a loud high frequency wave that feels like nails on chalkboard. It made both Yuuki and Hikaru grit their teeth from the uncomfortable sensation... but it wouldn't be for long thankfully. Just five seconds.
"What WAS that?"
"I dunno, but whatever it is, it feels like something is closing. I don't quite feel the dense data anymore... but..."
Mist. From the direction where Hikaru is heading to, mist pouring out. It's strange, too. It appears almost like when you put dry ice on water. Rather than building up, it pours. Something feels weird about this mist too. Something... feels a bit eerie.
"Would you believe if I said that our first adventure happened over there?" Hikaru asked, grinning wryly.
"You can't be serious... That's almost like saying whoever in charge of Digital World want us to solve this."
"Sounds like that~ Well, running away is also an option. There should be a village nearby. We can ask them if this is something new or it happened a lot."
