Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Monodramon this sucks, why'd you come here anyways?" Houko asks Monodramon, "Well I was looking for something to do when you fell on me." Houko gives monodramon an angry look. "Wasn't my fault. Hey you hear something?" Houko climbs over the gear to see four figures speaking to each other. "Hey look monodramon people maybe we should talk to them." Monodramon sighs. "And what if they're virus type digimon Id rather not get in a fight at the moment." One of the figures disappeared. "Hey one of them poofed or something" Houko said frantically. "Hehe, poofed that shows he uses a dictionary" Monodramon smiles while he gets ready to lie down. "Hey, just cause I don't read a lot it doesn't make me an idiot Monodramon." Monodramon throws a pebble at Houko's forehead. "Stop calling me Monodramon you know there's more than one of me here. Call me Dageki maybe?" Dageki smiles at the thought of being named something. "Fine only because your asking me. Well DA-GE-KI what do you suppose we do then?" Houko looks over the edge of the giant gear again. "Sleep?"

Zein and Gizamon began walking after giving the directions to the tamers. They soon managed to come across a small oasis where they could rest. "Finally Water!" Gizamon shouted overjoyed as he jumped in. "Looks like your mood changed quickly!" Zein said smiling at his partner. "Atleast we can rest here." Zein said as he sat near the edge of the water. "I wonder if we'll run into more tamers like that last guy." He said as he filled a water bottle. "I hope so, we may even be able to get a team going." Gizamon said as he got out of the water and sat near Zein. " It would be safer to travel in a group." Zein said as he laid back. "But for now lets take a break."

Keyon was beginning to think that he was lost for good inside this digital plane....he was also beginning to believe he'd turn into some dried up husk before long if he didn't find a shady spot and some cool water. "Ughhh...Guilmon, what are we gonna do? You know this place better than I do, right?" Keyon asked his partner. Guilmon, who was currently playing on a nearby gear, turned to his partner and shrugged. "Phht, don't look at me. I lost my memory before I met you somehow so I hardly remember anything. Heck, I was a little baby anyway so don't rely on me!" it protested to Keyon. Keyon's head sagged. "Fine, but all I know is I follow some dude to a forest, fall asleep, and then wake up supposedly the next morning, only to look at my D-Arc and see that it's morning of next year and a month or two!" Guilmon giggled. "Sounds funny huh, but that's what you get when you follow somebody with a Demon Lord for a partner somewhere." Keyon was curently busy looking at the once violet "crest of Greed" the man had given him, now with no symbol or color. Deeming it useless, Keyon threw the tag into the sand before smiling at his partner. "As if you'd care, you were too busy snarfing down his fine cuisine." Guilmon wanted to retort, and held a hand up to do so, but he paused mid-way. "Hmmmm....touche is what you humans say now, right? But his Italian was too good too be true!!!" he asked and exclaimed loudly with a goofy smile. He walked up to Keyon and got a scrath behind the ear. Guilmon knew he was no pet, but hey, this felt really good.

Keyon finally came upon a small oasis inhabited by one tamer and his Gizamon. Another boy and a small dragon digimon that Keyon couldn't recognize right away (hey, he hasn't played the games in a few good years) resting in the shade of a large gear. And ironically enough, he saw another figure collapsed in the sand not too far from the oasis. Keyon scrathed his chin as if he was thinking, and ran off towards the oasis, Guilmon in tow. He noticed that the palm tree bore several coconuts. Keyon took one mighty kick at the tree, and dodged the four falling fruits. Guilmon was not so lucky and took one on the head. "Owwwww! That hurt..." he whined with his snarl-voice. Keyon couldn't resist giggling at how pitiful he sounded, it was just so funny and cute. "You okay, buddy?" he asked extnding a hand to Guilmon. "My pain is in a little head but yeah, I-....wow....sorry, haha!" Now Keyon was keelng over with laughter. He finally got a hold of himself before looking around to the other tamers. "Anybody want coconut?"

Amidst cracking coconuts with his Rock Smasher, Guilmon's ears twitched as he heard a human cry off in the distance. Guilmon whined. "Keyon, that's the boy from before. He looks bad...! He has a digimon!" Keyon shielded his eyes against the sun and saw the figure of the boy slowly trudging through the sand and calling for help. He had a weak blue form hanging on piggy back. Keyon patted Guilmon as he took two coconut halves, filling one half with water. "You stay here in the shade and hand out coconut, k Guilmon?" Guilmon nodded and smiled loyaly before Keyon ran out to meet the kid. The boy was deffinitely weak, and Keyon dropped one of the halves in running fast. "Hey, you and your partner ok? We have food and water, here come on!" Keyon told the boy, holding out the coconut half with water inside.

Zein sat up in surprise when he heard Keyon's voice. " Woah someone else is here!" He said in surprise. " I must've dozed off." He stood up and saw that Kazu and Veemon looked tired. " Hey you're the guy who asked for directions!" He said recognizing his face. "Are you okay?"Gizamon said now up and beside Zein. They also noticed another tamer with a Guilmon. " Oh there's another tamer!" Zein said surprised." And it looks like you've been here for awhile." He said as he turned to the other tamer. " Well my name's Zein, nice to meet you." He said extending his arm for a handshake. "And I'm Gizamon."Gizamon said as he grabbed a coconut.

Keyon waved good bye to the kid and his Veemon as they ran back into the desert a jungle Keyon spotted in the distance. He shook his head in disapproval, smiling all the same. "You'd think he'd rest a litte after collapsing in the desert. Could've at least stocked up on food and water." Keyon shrugged but mentally wished the kid luck in his travels all the same. He turned to the new tamer who had introduced himself and extended a friendly hand, and returned the gesture with his own handshake. "Keyon Masek, and that's my..." Keyon motioned to Guilmon who was happily munching away on coconut with the Gizamon. "...sigh, my over-indulging friend Guilmon. Nice to meet you!" Guilmon gulped down a bite of coconut before retorting, "Hey, I'm more of a gourmand than somebody who's over-indulged." Keyon laughed at that. "Well, whatever you are, you're a glutton no doubt. And where'd you get a word like gourmand?" he asked his partner amused. Guilmon had already returned to his coconut munching and ignored the last question. He returned his attention to Zein. "So, what brings you here into the desert? Are you with the boy with the Veemon in looking for the Digi-Memory. Whatever it is, it sounds important." Keyon has been asleep for a year and had n idea of the declaration of conflict between the Royal Knights and the Warrior Spirits, so he was oblivious to it all and not yet on a side. Probably wouldn't be in the end, he didn't like taking sides.

Keyon noticed the boy laying on the large gear before was now approcahing with his draconic purple partner. "Oh, hey! I saw you on the gear while walking over to the oasis. Care for some coconut?" Keyon offered a half of coconut before Guilmon and Gizamon ate anymore.
