Tidus awoke with a start that night. A dream about him and his brother had caused the violent waking. They had been traveling through Digiworld together and suddenly, Xander had Digivolved, turning into the giant bear that had attempted to take his life earlier on that day. Striking out, that?s when the human awoke. There was much more to the dream, but he just couldn?t remember what it was, standing up and stretching, Tidus realized that it was nearly sunrise. Waking Tsunomon and Bandit, the trio packed up their supplies and made for the north, taking a path next to the river. The digimon knew that something was up.
?Do you want to talk about it?? Asked Tsunomon.
Tidus looked for anything to tell him about, for he wanted to keep the dreams just that, dreams. Shaking his head, a thought finally came through his mind. That face, was it real, or was it just his nerves getting to him?
?I saw a face last night, just as I was falling asleep, looking like a womans face, but it was difficult to tell.? Spoke Tidus, explaining it to his comrades.
Bandit didn?t seem to care about most of what Tidus was saying and Tsunomon was just at a loss. The trio continued to walk in silence for a bit, thinking on their own thoughts, hoping that they were going the right direction. Just up ahead, the river ended. Looking around for another land mark to follow, it was useless, there was nothing left in sight. Suddenly, Bandit began to walk off to the right. Deciding that his guess was just as good as any of the others, they followed. Tsunomon quickly freaked out as an owl made a noise high in the trees.
?Hehe.? Laughed Tsunomon nervously. ?I know where we are now. If we continue in this direction, we?ll leave Server and enter the cross between Server and File Island. It?s a dangerous place that Cross and all. Maybe we should just keep going north, or maybe even south. Trust me when I say that nothing good has ever come from Cross.?
Tidus had a feeling that Tsunomon wasn?t lying, but at the same time, a gut feeling was telling him to continue in this direction, so they did. Moving a bit quicker now, they were almost at a run, making their way quicker and quicker through the thick forest, until a break in the trees. Tidus looked out onto the large field and saw what looked like some sort of small structure in the distance.
This plane was very similar to the one where they had found Bandit, the sunlight once again had the temperature raising dramatically, though it wasn?t as bad as before. They took only one step out onto the grass and suddenly a large gust of wind blew out from no where, giving a foreboding sense of evil. Tidus shivered, Bandit got low and started growling, and Tsunomon did what he does best, flew in circles screaming about the ?end of days?. Grabbing a hold of the Digimon and stroking the wolf, Tidus looked over the seemingly never ending field.
?It?s probably best if we make haste.? Instructed the human. ?When we get to that shelter, we?ll rest and choose our next course of action, understood.?
Looking down at Bandit, the wolf nearly gave a nod and Tsunomon bucked up.
?Go.?
The trio bound into the field and instantly the wind began screaming into Tidus? ears, deafening him from the rest of the world. Tsunomon was falling behind, but just barely, and Bandit was already way ahead of the group. A smile spread across the humans face as they approached the structure quicker and quicker, and it began to look taller and taller. Reaching that ?top? of a hill, Tidus came to a halt just as Bandit had. Looking out over the hill top, they had found the city of Cross.
Suddenly, Tsunomon blew past them, screaming like a maniac, eyes closed.
?Tsunomon!? Cried out Tidus.
Finally, the digimon opened his eyes and turned, floating flushed back with the group.
?It?s a city.? Spoke Tidus excitedly. ?A very small city, more like a town really. Let?s go.?
The trio made their way down into the city, unaware of the dangers that may lay ahead.
