Though Alucard was seeking power he believed at some level everyone deserved a chance at redemption and being reborn often gave digimon a chance to live a better life. That and after watching two of his friends absorbed by NeoMyotismon the very act of absorbing others for power was repugnant to him. However he didn't say anything as Rush absorbed MarineDevimon.
The absorption complete he traveled back with the group. Meanwhile Poseidon was beginning to feel very anxious as he was now struggling to avoid leaping into the sea to go to everyone's aid his restlessness made him look like he was wiggling back and forth. "Things have been too quiet. I hope everyone is okay." Poseidon said as he began to glow as it seemed his energy was running out and he soon dedigivolved back into his rookie form of Gomamon. Though he noticed the change his gaze was still fixed on the sea hoping for the best.

As the group made it back to shore, Hana started running towards Rush and Sakura but stopped when she saw what the Eosmon and Lillymon were carrying. The two Digimon gave Hana a mournful look as they gently set the severed arm on the sand. The sight caused Hana's heart to plummet as she realized what it meant.
"No...nonononono!" Hana quietly said, her voice choking up at the realization that Data was gone. As she fell to her knees and started sobbing uncontrollably, Rush reverted back to his Keramon form as he and Sakura went over to hug the grieving Tamer.
"I'm so sorry. We were too late." Sakura sadly whispered, tears starting to fall from her eyes as she spoke. "But we did manage to get the guy who killed him. He won't anyone else ever again."
The three of them took a few minutes to quietly mourn the loss of their dear friend and brother. WC: 1923/1500. I'm not counting anymore. Mirror Reflection CD: 3/3 Sunburst Kick CD: 3/3 Mirror Dust CD: 2/2

When the group made it to shore Alucard dedigivolved to Lopmon before shortly returning to his champion form of Angemon. Walking up to his son, Poseidon, he saw that the now once again a Gomamon had caught sight of Data's severed arm. "He's not.." was all Poseidon was able to get out of his mouth before dissolving into sobs.
Kneeling down and feeling awkward in knowing what to do Alucard gently ran his hand through Poseidon's mohawk, he was surprised to see the sobbing Gomamon leap into his lap. He then sat on his knees as Poseidon began snuggling him though he still continued running his hand through Poseidon's mohawk. Looking at the other mourning digimon he said "MarineDevimon did not absorb his data so he is on his way to the Village of Beginnings to be reborn. Maybe if you all go there you can find his digiegg since as his twin Rush should be able to detect which egg is his brother's."

"Even knowing he'll come back, it's still that doesn't make it hurt any less that we failed him. Even if we find his egg after it reforms in three days, there's no guarantee that he'll still be the same person he used to be." Sakura somberly said, as she tightened her grip on Rush and Hana. "A lot of Digimon lose their memories or have their personalities changed after reincarnating, so we don't know how much of him will still be Data."
"We still have to try. Even if he's not the same person, he's still Rush's brother and our friend. Friends don't abandon each other." Hana replied, voice laced with determination. Breaking away from the Lillymon and Hagurumon, the teenage Tamer went over to Alucard and Poseidon.
"Thank you both for trying to help Data, at least. What MarineDevimon did was NOT your fault, so I don't want to see either of you blaming yourselves for what happened. Understood?" she said, forcing a smile onto her face. "You guys did the best you could." WC: 1923/1500. I'm not counting anymore.

Alucard looked at Sakura while still making an awkward attempt at comforting his son before he said "I understand about being reborn myself. A couple years ago a friend was able to inform me that in my past life I was a Cherubimon. Though I have no idea what I was like as Cherubimon."
Poseidon's sobbing had calmed as he then said "Maybe Data will remember his last life. I know that it's not a high chance but maybe his connection to his twin will be enough."
"Good point since twins share the same digicore and Rush has part of it." Alucard thought out loud.
Poseidon's eyes became filled with hope then as he interrupted his father's thoughts as he said "Maybe since he is connected to Rush through the shared digicore than the chance of remembering might be higher." Poseidon then climbed out of Alucard's lap and went over to Hana and said "I know it wasn't my fault for what happened and so does Dad. Data was real brave to do what he did and I'll remember him for how cool he was in his last life even if he doesn't remember who he was."

Hana was briefly stunned by Poseidon's words about remembering Data's bravery, even if Data himself didn't. Her look of shock soon faded into a sad smile, tear starting to fall from her eyes once more as she kneeled down to hug the Gomamon. "Yeah, he was a true hero to the bitter end. Whether he remembers us or not when he comes back, he'll always have a place with us. He's family."
Sakura and Rush came over to join the others, and Hana finished hugging Poseidon and got to her feet. "I'm gonna have to go home and tell my dad what happened before we can go to the Village of Beginnings, but we will there as soon as we can."
"Of course. I made a promise that we'd find him, and I intend to keep it." Sakura added, earning a nod from Rush. The Lillymon extended a hand out for Alucard to shake. "Thank you for everything you've done for us. You guys are more than welcome to come with us when we head out, if you want to." WC: 1923/1500. I'm not counting anymore.

When Hana began hugging Poseidon he reached his clawed flippers carefully around her embracing her in return. When Sakura and Rush rejoined them Hana set Poseidon down and got to her feet. "At least a trip to the Village of Beginnings isn't usually a dangerous one so at least your dad will have less to worry about."
Alucard rose to his feet as Sakura approached him holding out her hand. He reached out accepting the handshake. "I wouldn't mind going with you all when you are ready just as I would be more than willing to help anyone in need." Alucard's words carried more emotion than his normal cold way of speaking. It sounded like he was at some level sad for what not only happened to Data but those closest to him. He was fighting to protect others from suffering as much as he was seeking strength so he could have revenge against a NeoMyotismon who killed his two friends.

Hana could hear the sadness in Alucard's voice as he spoke, although she didn't know the exact reasoning behind why he was sad. Had he lost someone close to him in the past? It was a sobering thought, but Hana decided not to dwell on it too much right now.
"Thank you, Mr. Alucard. This really means a lot to me." Hana gratefully told the Angemon. "Do you have a way for us to contact you, so that we can figure where to met up to head to the Village of Beginnings?"
"I know a Kettle-type Trailmon named Ol' Tex whose route gets within walking distance of the Village, so we can probably catch a ride with him at Terminus station. We've helped each other in the past a few times, so we're on pretty good terms with each other." Sakura offered. "Just give me a time and place to meet up, and I'm sure I can work something out with Ol' Tex." WC: 1923/1500. I'm not counting anymore.

Upon hearing if they had a means to meet Alucard and Poseidon were lost then when Sakura mentioned a Trailmon friend of hers, he said "Perhaps we can meet at one of this Ol' Tex's stops and catch a ride to the village from there." Since Trailmon was Alucard's primary form of transportation even as an Angemon such a thing was not so odd to him and Poseidon had gotten used to riding on Trailmon himself.
Poseidon then looked at Sakura and said "At least your friend won't have to worry about Dad and I trashing his insides since we know to behave better than that. Sooner we find Data the better Rush will feel, right." Leave it to Poseidon to be so optimistic seeing as he was being raised by Alucard who at times was quite cynical and pessimistic at times. However Alucard was also feeling more aggressive than normal as of late and was glad he was able to conceal it from Poseidon but he wasn't going to deny that the urges he was having worried him.

"Perfect! I know he usually makes a stop over by Rosewood, so I'm thinking that's where we should meet up in a few days, Digital World time. Ol' Tex wears a small bowler hat and has a metal mustache on his face, so you'll know him when you see him." Sakura rattled off. "He usually stops there around mid-day, since the old guy's not as fast as he used to be. From there, it'll be a 45-minute ride to his next stop, which is about a 15-minute walk from the village."
"How... do you know all this?" Hana asked in confusion.
"This isn't the first time I had to head there. I once had to bring a sick Gummymon to Cherrymon for treatment, so I remember how to get there." Sakura replied, before a look of wistful contemplation made it's way onto her face. "I wonder how the little guy's doing. I haven't seen him since Cherrymon took him in."

It seemed odd to be heading back to a place Alucard hadn't been to for almost three years but he didn't mind one bit. Poseidon was excited at the prospect but was capable of restraining himself which amazed Alucard but since the Angemon tended to have a great poker face, he had more practice with self control.
"Then we'll meet up at the Trailmon Station in Rosewood and wait for Ol' Tex to arrive. Then we'll board from there." Alucard said in confirmation of the information he received from Sakura. Then a hint of Alucard's sadness creeped out in his voice again as he said "The reason I help others is so decent folks like Rush won't have to always live in fear of losing their loved ones because of the seemingly heartless monsters that occasionally roam this land."
"That and there's always safety in numbers especially in the Digital World. Why else would it be common for some weaker digimon to travel in groups when travel is necessary." Poseidon said as his tail twitched softly back and forth.

"Alrighty, then! Let's meet up in Rosewood in about three days then." Sakura said excitedly as she clasped her hands together. She then leaned in close to Hana's ear and whispered, "That's about ten hours Human World time."
Hana nodded in understanding, and prepped her digivice to open a digiport for her and Rush to head home. Once the five-minute charge was complete, Hana drew a circle in the air with the digivice, which rippled to form the digiport.
"We'll see you guys soon. Stay safe!" Hana said, as she stepped into the portal. Rush took a moment to wave goodbye to everyone before following through as well, which Sakura returned. Once they both went through, the portal closed behind them.
"Well, time for me to head off, then. I'm gonna go track down Ol' Tex and explain the situation to him. See you guys in a few days." Sakura said, waving goodbye as she flew away in the direction of Rosewood.WC: 1923/1500. I'm not counting anymore.

Alucard nodded in response to Hana and said "Rosewood in three days it is then." Alucard then looked at Poseidon before picking his son up and the pair watched as Hana and Rush left. Sakura fly off shortly after she informed them she would let her Trailmon friend in on everything needed.
As she left Poseidon waved a clawed flipper as he said "Bye, Sakura. See ya later!"
Alucard opened his six shining wings the sunlight reflecting magnificently off of them for a moment before he took off into the sky making his way to Trailmon Station a couple days away. "So Dad are we heading for Rosewood right away?"
"Yes, Poseidon. Good thing I'll be flying us part of the way and then we'll catch a Trailmon during the last leg of our trip."
"And sense you can fly real fast we'll be there in no time." Poseidon said and Alucard merely nodded in response. Yes they indeed would arrive soon.
