Any who know me are probably cheering at this news, any that don't, hello, nice to meet you. Yes, I have returned to the world of deviantArt RP after a few months hiatus, and this time, I intend to stick around a while and not run away. Also, I've lost touch with avantguarde, so... yeah, there goes another reason I would've abandoned this. Ok, so you strangers probably don't know what any of that means, though you may be able to guess, regardless, let's move on.

I've decided to start my own RP based in the world of Ivalice as shown to us by Square-Enix. This probably brings up a few questions such as which Ivalice this is, around what time period, and will there be some sort of supervillain (or hero in one case) bent on its conquest/destruction? To answer the first question, I wanted to leave things wide open to give the RPers themselves plenty of creative room; this means that this Ivalice can be any or all of the Ivalice's we've come to know and love from the Final Fantasy Tactics series and Final Fantasy XII. This answer is also for the second and third question, it's entirely up to the RPers what's going on in the world right now, whether you want the war between Rabanastre and Archadia to be going full force or if you'd prefer it be a time of uneasy peace just before the Lion War, that's fine too, or both (note, I do not think the Rabanastrian war and the Lion War are related, they're two separate examples for sake of illustration, do not be confused). In fact, you can have the events of all games based in Ivalice to be going on at once if you build it that way as well as any side events that have nothing to do with the games, the choice is yours. My goal is to have a totally free RP involving events orchestrated by everyone involved with minimum limitations. Of course, I understand that there of those of you out there not really willing to orchestrate anything and that's fine too, you can just sit back in the Sandsea and drink all day if you wish.

So, make your character (I won't even bother approving it, it's simply so everyone has something to refer to if necessary) and join in on the fun, Ivalice awaits!

Persona Sheet Example:

Name: Uryx Farrence

Race: Hume

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Family: Father- Gawain Farrence (Deceased), Mother- Judy Farrence, Elder Sister- Kitty Randall (Married)

Significant Others: None

Physical Description: Uryx has rather short, dark brown hair and eyes of the same color. His face looks like he doesn't shave very often, and when he does, he doesn't exactly do a very good job of it. It also looks like he doesn't bathe very often, but that might just be an illusion from the fact that he's out almost every day having "adventures" like some sort of child (much to the disdain of his mother and older sister). No matter what other clothes he's wearing or where he is, Uryx always has a light brown (with a distinctive tinge of green) coat hanging over his shoulders, though he almost never has his arms in the sleeves. His accent is Archadian, though not nearly as heavy as most others, probably because of his frequent visits to other places all over Ivalice.

Personal History: Uryx was born in Archades to Judy and Gawain Farrence about two years after his sister, Kitty (short for Kathleen), had been born. His father was a hunter and his mother a housewife, which led to Uryx forming more of a bond with his mother in his younger years. When he reached the appropriate age, Uryx was sent to boarding school where he performed slightly above average when he chose to apply himself, but more often than not, he would try to sneak out to explore the city and the surrounding area (always keeping his sandalwood chop hidden so as not to cause trouble with the less fortunates, his mother came from a rich family that still supported his own, in fact, the reason he was going to boarding school was at their behest). During his time at boarding school, Uryx's father went to hunt a mark never to return, but Uryx never really got to know his father and the news didn't really bother him too much. On a whim, Uryx decided to follow in his late father's footsteps and begin hunting marks himself armed with a gunblade of unknown origin, but has lately fallen into a slump, simply going out just to be out and not to fight anything dangerous. This probably isn't such a wise move on his part, considering his family only barely supports him as it is, but he doesn't really care, he'll figure something out if worse comes to worst.

Personality: Uryx is a fairly agreeable fellow at the best of times, but can get to be almost unbearable at his worst. Uryx is impulsive by nature and oftem acts upon whims, doing things simply because it seems like a good idea at the time. Surprisingly, this impulsiveness hasn't landed him into serious trouble in the past. He's very odd for an Archadian descended from aristocracy in that he cares little for status, although what friends he has tells him that when it comes to leadership skills, he'd give the emperor a run for his money (at this he simply shrugs and says "perhaps"). Uryx has an intense love for his mother, though this doesn't stop him from being himself and just following his whims anyway (much to her chagrin). Uryx's relationship with his sister is strained at best, she can have her rich husband and fancy life for all he cares, he wants none of it. Uryx is happiest when he's left to do as he likes.

Weapon of choice: A gunblade he calls "Catherine." The weapon's exact origins are unknown, but it does show a remarkable level of craftsmanship, meaning it was most likely wrought by moogle hands. The blade is somewhat scratched and tarnished, but it still works just as well as if it were new. The person the weapon is named after is unknown, though it may be a past sweetheart or something cliche'd like that.

Birth Sign: Taurus

One more thing, don't feel constrained to things only in the Ivalice universe, if you want races or things from other Final Fantasy games, that's fine too (such as the Lilty race or aeons). In fact, you can introduce things that don't have anything to do with any of the games if you so choose, just go crazy (but not TOO crazy, I don't want the RP to self-destruct, powerplayers or godmodders will receive a warning, followed by a lecture, followed by banishment if their behavior comes to the attention of even one of the mods)!

DigitalChaos is back in action and I'm so bursting with ideas, I've already gone ahead and told someone all of them, and it's been proven that they are awesome to the max! Of course, I won't be playing an acive part in DigitalChaos anymore, it's up to the digidestined to see if things play out to my plot, or if they can create an evn better one than I had ever imagined (which would be very hard, but not impossible, heheh). Anyway, go on over to DigitalChaos and see what's going on, I might be there, see ya!

It seems that DigitalChaos as we have known it is gone. Fear not, for there is hope! twily2here may keep it going on his own forum. No matter what happens, however, I won't be adding any more journal updates to tell you what's been going on in the story (kind of pointless on a forum, since you can just go back and read that, right?). So here's hoping twily2here pulls through for us, and here's a link to his forum: [link] .

Heh, that must be my shortest journal entry ever! Go me! By the way, since a live chat is useful for coordinating purposes, another chat was started for just that! it can be found here: [link] .

This chapter is the second of the new season, some might say that's special, but whatever. If you wanted to know more about the twin children of Uryx and Catherine, there's a lot to learn from this chapter, there's also a new character introduced, the mysterious super-genius, Shiro.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Karen soon appeared at her apartment at took some time to rest from eating that rotten sandwich by taking a nap. A few hours have past and Karen slowly woke up from her nap and was back to 100%. She slowly walked toward her bag and walks outside the door and goes off back towards her school where she was assigned to room 405 where she took her seat in the middle row and looks at the test. She looks at the test as she was assured that she would be able to past it with ease. The teacher told a person to put away those dice that they had. Karen slowly turned to the back and saw a boy with white hair was right behind her with the dice in his hand. The two of them Karen soon appeared at her apartment at took some time to rest from eating that rotten sandwich by taking a nap. Soon time has past and Karen slowly woke up from her nap and was back to 100%. She slowly walked toward her bag and walks outside the door and goes off back towards her school where she was assigned to room 405 where she took her seat in the middle row and looks at the test. She looks at the test as she was assured that she would be able to past it with ease. The teacher told a person to put away those dice that they had. Karen slowly turned to the back and saw a boy with white hair was right behind her with the dice in his hand. The two of them looked at each other for a while before the test begins. Soon nearly everyone was free to go. Karen slowly walks from the class room and heads towards the bus. Karen got on the bus and she was now reaching her stop. As soon as she steps down from the bus and towards the ground she saw the boy with white hair was right next to her. She looks at him for a second but then turns back towards the direction towards her house. “I know what you are…..tamer was it” said the white hair boy as his hair was covering his eyes. Karen eyes slowly widen but she stood calm and turns to the boy. “I don’t know what you’re talking about” said Karen as she was putting on a good bluff. “Oh I think you know what I’m talking about Karen Underwood…age 18…blood type A+…..height 5, 9….favorite food…ramen….anything else you want me to spill” said the boy as he slowly reached his bag and pulled out his laptop. “Okay…you know about me…but what this tamer thing that you’re talking about” said Karen as she still shown her calm face. The boy slowly smiles “ this is enough evidence for me” said the boy as he shows her the video of the tamer’s last battle in the digital world and all of their faces. Karen eyes widen and she loses her cool as the boy shown her the video. “See…. I don’t know much about this digital world but I do know that you been there a numerous of times….so show me this digital world……or I will post this video around the world in 40 seconds and the secret of the digital world will be exposed” said the boy as he continued to smiled. -Shit……no matter how I look at this…he got me…just who is this boy?- Karen slowly closes her eyes and takes a deep breath “fine….I’ll show you the digital world…but you better be ready for what happens in the future” said Karen as she gives him a cold stare. “I can manage just fine” said the boy as he continues to chuckle. They soon walk back towards Karen’s house and she pulled out her laptop when they reached the table. “Let’s see…. The guys said that they were going to the village” Said Karen as she pulled out the digital map on her computer. Then looks for lillymoon village before her and selects the target. Before opening the portal and taking both her and the boy into the portal and into the digital world. Both Karen and the boy soon reached the entrance into the village and then spots the others.

Uryx is happy to see Abyss after so much time (and it really has been the full 16 years for Abyss as well, which made him feel slightly less uncomfortable), however, the fate of two worlds hung in the balance. "Hey, you guys should go on ahead and meet Catherine at Lilymoon Village, I know she doesn't show it, but I'm sure she'd appreciate not having to carry all the supplies for an adventure on her own." Uryxia looks at her dad and nods, understanding what he meant, -how was mom planning on bringing all that stuff back with just Wingdramon anyway?- She walks into the house and picks the sleeping Kitty up and carries her piggy-back, then starts walking towards Lilymoon, not caring whether or not the others followed, she was willing to do this adventure with just the help of her sister. Uryx watched Uryxia leave and smiled, he wasn't going this time, but only because the team was in the most capable hands he could think of.

Kitty is carried, piggy-back. Were she awake, she'd probably be hyperly wondering just how her sister could carry her like that. It was, after all, a physical impossibility. And considering her lack of awakefulness, a mystery that wouldn't be unraveled anytime soon.

Squall followed after the two twins.

Abyss received a radio signal from the MOSES, telling him that they had waht they needed, and so, bidding Uryx goodbye, returned to the ship, in his fighter craft.

Lisa was with the others, and saw Abyss leave, 'Well... I wonder when this adventure will start...' Lisa thought.

Wingdramon alighted on the ground in the middle of the camp, folding his wings as his aging Mistress slid from his back. It was odd to be around these things that weren't attacking her, and it was no different when the Captain of the Camp approached her and offered his Commander a smirk. "Commander Randal," he addressed her with a small bow - the best a four legged beast could muster. "It's been far too long. How's the wife and kids? Has your spouse's mind improved any from when I last saw him? And what of those cheeky little dragon boys? And that tall, sexy man? Mmmm." At his Commander's expression, the Captain flashed a fanged grin. "Do any of them even know that you're here? Or...why?" He wagged a wicked, clawlike fingernail in her face, making her recoil slightly. "I, unlike your others, require a form of payment. You can provide that later." He pushes her head to a side and examines the side of her face, and then frowned. "You're taking this abuse in stride, 'Commander'. Why aren't you fighting back? Anyway. Orders?" She cleared her throat, finally blinking and pulling the neck of her catsuit about her own neck. "Prepare the troops. Obtain supplies. The portals have re-opened, Captain." A snort of amusement from the Captain as he watched her remount Wingdramon, "All this way for those orders, Catherine? You really -are- losing your edge. Duller than a butterknife, hm?" He observed her slide the flight goggles over her eyes and grip the sole horn on Wingdramon's back. "Not at all," she replied as she prepared to have Wingdramon take flight once more. "I expect you to storm the Human World. That is all." The captain merely chuckled at this vagueness from someone who usually was so meticulous in her plans, and watched as Wingdramon leaped into the sky, turning course towards Lilymoon Village.

Uryxia suddenly grabbed one of her sister's legs and swung her at Jonas sort of like a living baseball bat. Uryxia wasn't at all sure WHY she'd done that, but it definitely felt good. This didn't actually happen, however, Uryxia was only daydreaming it, then she started to ponder if she really COULD do something like that and got an incredible urge to try, but she resisted that temptation and didn't even show that it had come over her.

Kitty awakens, then flails about. "Help!" She exclaims, slamming her hands against her sister's shoulders. "Some crazy woman has kidnapped me, and is taking me on adventures!" She leans forward, resting her chin on her sister's shoulders. "LOOK! NOW YOU'VE GOT TWO HEADS! You know what they say, Urrie!" She rolls her eyes to look at her sister's profile, then says, happily, "TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE!"

Uryxia doesn't even grin the slightest bit, instead she unceremoniously lets go of her sister's legs and lets her fall to the ground. She then just keeps walking, considering using someone else as a bat to hit HER with. The thought of Uryxia swinging Squall at Kitty makes her mentally chuckle, her outward expression still doesn't change, though.

-Is she always like this?- thinks Squall, looking at the freshly awoken twin. -You may have two heads, but it would seem one has nothing but air in it.-

"Urrrrrrrrie," Kitty complains as she is smacked, unceremoniously, onto her back, "that was RUDE. You're RUDE, Urrie." She gets up and brushes herself off, walking beside her sister. She is silent for a period, but then asks, "Really - where are we going to, Urrie?"

"Mom went to get supplies in Lilymoon, Dad figured we might as well go meet her there so she doesn't have to fly all the way back home with all that stuff, so that's what we're doing," Uryxia explains, not even seeming to notice Kitty's indignance to her recent treatment.

" sigh...nothing i say will stop you will it" said karen as they soon reaches the location of the others. "nope....so theres are the other tamers....i thought they would be....smarter and more prepared than what i'm seeing now" said the boy as he sweatdrops

"Who's this guy?" Squall inqures, the question aimed at Karen.

"Ugh," Kitty says, quietly, her voice sliding down a few octaves as she utters, darkly, "They're not going to be babysitting us the whole time, are they, Urrie? I mean, you and I can handle a lot, but from what all that talkin' was about yesterday, it sounds like it's not just our world that's in trouble. It's theirs," she points at everyone but her and Uryxia. One by one, not in a sweeping gesture, that is, "too. I dunno if either Mom or Dad would trust us to do this ourselves."

"Guys, I'm sorta hungry..." Lisa said rather quietly, "Does anyone want to find some berries or food or something to eat with me?" Lisa asked.

Karen sighs before raising her left hand " i don't know his name yet but i call him Mr. smarty pants since he pretty much know everything that’s thrown by him....apparently he found a way to make me bring him to the digital world." said Karen as she points at him. " it's a pleasure to meet you...Squall" said the boy as he shown a blank stare

"I don't know, Kitty," Uryxia says, knowing that her sister was right, Dad might just let them go on an adventure, but Mom wouldn't, and Dad's opinions have a habit of changing in the face of Mom's sometimes, then she says to Lisa, "Didn't you just eat a cheese sandwich back at the house a few moments ago, I don't know how things are where you're from, but here, we're lucky to get TWO meals a day."

"Well I haven't been able to eat much lately, so I'm still hungry," Lisa told Uryxia.

Kitty mutters under her breath, "They looks really well-fed. Maybe they've got a monster that cooks for them, Urrie." A pause, then she says, quite seriously, "We should talk to Jack, so dad doesn't get fired, while we're in Lilymoon. He'll be wondering why Dad missed work today."

Uryxia sighed, "Look, we'll be in Lilymoon in about an hour, you can get something there if you're really that hungry." -She must be really spoiled, I haven't eaten at all today, and had only one meal yesterday...- Uryxia then says to her sister, "Yeah, you're probably right about that... both of the things you said."

Lisa shook her head and sighed, "Never mind then..." Lisa said as she looked out towards the side and started to not pay attention to the front area.

Kitty nods sagely, proud of her massive intellect. "How can Dad stand walking this distance every day?" She asks, kicking some stones in the path. "Or does he get rides from Mom?" A pause, then she speaks up, her tone enthusiastic, "We'll probably get there sooner than that. Urrie's got a thing about distances. I guess her and me walking around seems to take forever to her." She glances over her shoulder and smiles at the Digi-Destined she barely knows, walking all the while.

-Even the shortest amounts of time seem like an eternity when you're around...- "I suppose Dad just gets used to it after a while, I know he doesn't often get rides unless he sleeps in, which he rarely does," Uryxia says, "I think he likes the trips, they give him time to appreciate the scenery, although I suppose the same scenery seen a thousand times wouldn't be so great anymore..."

"It changes with the seasons, Urrie," Kitty points out. "I like it best in fall. With all the ugly browns." She starts to hum musically, then stops to say, "Urrie, if you don't want me comin' on this adventure, that's fine, too. I can go have an adventure on my own. It'd be reaaaaaally cool to explore those sewers under the Holy City-Thinger sometime." Even her enthusiasm falters as she says this - she really wants to go, although....Her sister might not want her around. With good reason - Urrie never really seemed to like anyone. Or anything, for that matter.

"Well, you obviously know my name," says Squall, a little concerned that a stranger knows who he is, "but we've yet to learn yours. I'll ask you then," he says to the white-haired boy, " Who are you?

"Lisa finally snapped back into reality, 'So her sister doesn't want her around for this 'journey'? Sounds kinda weird, but whatever.... none of my business...' Lisa thinks.

"well i might as well, since it doesn't matter anymore....my name is Shiro....and it's japanese for white" he said as he had his hand in the pockets "so is everyone like this all the time"

Uryxia couldn't even imagine being away from her twin during this adventure, certainly, Uryxia found Kitty to be annoying at times, but they were sisters, they had to stick together. The thought of them separating actually dented Uryxia's expression a little into one almost resembling worry, "No, don't go, I... I think we should stay together is all," and Uryxia's expression and tone returned to normal by the end of that.

Lisa looked at the guy and made a slight nod, though she said nothing.

"'Kay, Urrie," was all Kitty replied. Although Mom and Dad certainly hadn't stuck with these people, huh? And although Kitty'd never say it - she had no intention of leaving her sister. Ever. Urrie was the best and most important thing in her life, and her sister. That's a huge bond right there. Besides! Urrie'd probably end up dying without her. That wouldn't be fun for the family. Mom and Dad would be sad for ages if anything happened to Urrie. "If we don't stick together, we can't be Amaterasumon!" She blurts out, the enthusiasm smothering her previous tone.

Squall, being paranoid of newcomers from now on (thanks Kitty and Uryxia), didn't trust Shiro. "Why did you bring him here?" he asks Karen, "He's not a digidestined."

" well you get use to it....eventually" said karen as she sweatdrops some more before turning back to squall " because if i didn't he would expose all of our identiys to the world" she said as she wispers in his ear

"Shhh..." Uryxia shushes her sister, "I don't think we should be giving away anything in front of these strangers." Uryxia is whispering, "but you're right," and half a smile is barely visible on Uryxia's lips.

Kitty STFUs, knowing Uryxia is correct. She lifts her eyebrows and nods, though, smiling absently back at her twin. They were getting awful close to Lilymoon now...

"So we're almost there now..." Lisa said.

Not the subtle type, Squall grabs Shiro by the front of his shirt and lifts him to eye level. "Are you threatening the well being of my friends?" the burly man threatingly asks.

"hmm.....not bad of a grip but...mine is better" he said as he grabs squall's hand and throws him to the ground instantly " don't touch me...or it will be much worse for you next time"

As the digidestined arrive at Lilymoon, Uryxia says, "Alright, you others do what you like, I don't care, just don't let me catch you harassing the villagers," then she says quietly to her twin, "Let's go find Jack real quick and let him know why Dad didn't come to work today, as usual, you're in charge of fashioning the excuse. Then, we can find mom and get this adventure started."

Lisa looked around, and knowing nothing else to do, just went over to Karen, the new guy, and Squall.

Kitty nods her head at what her sister says, preparing to wander off with her sister to find Jack. She was already planning the excuse - 'Sorry Jack! Dad was helping Mom in the garden - a Veggiemon popped outta nowhere and tried to destroy the house! We got 'im, though!'. Nah. That seemed...a little too odd. 'Hey Jack! It was a holiday today! We forgot to get you a calendar again this year. Sorry, dude.'. No, too amusing. 'JACK! THE DIGITAL WORLD IS IN DANGER! AGAIN!'. No, that could cause panic. God...damn it.

Squall gets up brushing his clothes off,then addressing Shiro, "Your alot stronger than you look, but do that again and you'll truly regret it." The man turns off to look around the town.

" you need to tell your friends to stop being so impusive...it will get them kill" said shiro as he walks to the town on his own/// Karen sighes and soon follows the others towards the town

Lisa follows Karen and starts to talk, "So... how's everything been going?" Lisa asked.

As Uryxia and Kitty wandered the town, Uryxia was keeping an eye out for the mayor; she wasn't exactly easy to surprise, but somehow that guy managed. As they looked around, an ExVeemon accosted them, this of course being Jack, the friendly inn-keeper of Lilymoon, who their father had been working for for a while, "Alright, what's the excuse THIS time?" he asked, knowing how this usually worked.

" not so great...i had to take a test that counted 50% of my final grade and now i have to deal with that white hair boy now" she said as she sighs

"So who is he?" Lisa asked.

" i don't know but he goes to my collage....even though he's 15 1/2....they say that he's a real genius...but i call him a brat" Karen replied

"Jack!" Kitty says as she sees him, waving her hands in his face. "There was an emergency at home. Dad reckons Mom's pregnant again. Mom's an emotional wreck because of this - acting odd and the like." She shrugs her shoulders back. "Supposedly, she came around town to get some 'supplies'. Ice Cream and Pickles, if y' ask me, but she's probably saying that it's for a trip for her and Uryx or me and Urrie or somein'. ANYWHO! Dad had to take care of Mom and help Dracom' calm her down." She wonders if that's a plausable excuse - she heard Mom used to be really moody, even though she was so sublime nowadays.

"So why is he with us?" Lisa asked as she began to look around the town.

"because he holds our secrets on his computer and would have released them around the world if i didn't bring him here" said karen as she was with lisa for the moment /// Shiro was at the inn looking at the stacks of vine and other drinks sold at the inn

"I see, well can't you just take the stuff he has about us?" Lisa asked.

"i don't think so....knowing how smart he his...he probally has copies elsewhere" karen sighs

"How did he get the copies?" Lisa asked.

"Th-That's right!" said Uryxia, supporting her sister's excuse, -So long as he buys it, I don't care WHAT she tells 'im...- Jack eyes them both carefully, then sighs and says, "Alright, not much I can do if a hero decides to miss work anyway, just let him know when you get home that I really need his help with something, the annex isn't gonna build itself. And no, I haven't seen your mom today, pregnant or otherwise." At that, Jack walked away, Uryxia was unsure whether he had actually bought the excuse or not, but it really didn't matter since he was obviously letting Uryx off the hook anyway.

"he made them from the original....." karen sweatdrops

"Well how did he get the original?" Lisa asked, wanting to get to the bottom of this.

"i don;t know but he apperntly found it online" she said before looking back at lisa

Squall was much more placid, away from all the 'new' people now in their group. As he and Griever, who had been silently walking beside him as always, walked along the street, Squall began thinking about more important matters. -So once we're done here I supose we go to see the Angemon who summoned us here.-

Kitty moved to high-five her twin, then stopped. "Wait, Mom's not been around today? Didn't she leave before us? On Dracom'?" Another part of her mind was chortling about how her daddy was a hero. EVEN IF HE DIDN'T ADMIT IT. She'd heard from Catherine about super-heroes. Spiderman and the like - Catherine used superhero comics as bedtime stories once - and she thought they were real. Catherine, thinking the portals would never open again, had neglected to tell her excitable daughter that. Clearly, Uryx had powers and a costume...somewhere. It was her quest to discover where! But not now. Now was adventure time.

"She did leave before us, this is odd, usually Jack somehow knows whenever anyone enters or exits the town..." -a skill that probably serves him well in his profession, I wonder if he bacame an innkeeper because he had that ability, or he became an innkeeper and developed it, I guess it doesn't really matter either way,- Uryxia thinks idly, "C'mon, we should look for her anyway, in case Jack just hasn't seen her."

"I see... so you're in... college now?" Lisa asked.

" yeah...i graduated early and just now transfer into a private collage" said karen /// Shiro walks to a table and starts to put a puzzle togeather

"I see... that's great," Lisa said as she looked around.

"Kay, Urrie. What if she got attacked? And she's dead?" Kitty asks, suddenly. "What if she never comes home, and Dad's got to live without her?" She flicks her gaze back to Uryxia, then shakes her head. "We'll have to tell Dad the bad news. Mom won't be coming home." She moves to grab her digivice out of the back pocket of her pants.

"what about you" said karen as she turns to her

"Well I ended up having to transfer from our old school," Lisa said.

" i see...so what is your new school like" said karen

"Its ok, its a private all-girls school. I may not get to see the others a lot, but I'll survive," Lisa told her.

"well since the digital portals are open now...you can travel from computer to computer" Karen explained

"That's true, though it is a bit difficult, since they can be a bit more strict," Lisa said, "so basically, it relies on me trying to be sneaky, a little bit..." she finished.

" i see...well go luck with that" she said as she looks at the sky

Uryxia stops Kitty's impulsive action, "I don't think we should be jumping to conclusions right away, Kitty, Mom can handle herself," -I think,- "And besides, there could be any number of reasons why she isn't here," then Uryxia stops as she gets an idea and removes her hand from her sister's, "I know, why don't we just call Mom."

"I was gonna do that," Kitty grumbles as she flicks through the options on her Digivice, then opens a private call to her mother's Digivice. It rings - and goes unanswered. "SEE!" Kitty exclaims. "SHE'S DEAD! I TOLD YOU!"

Shiro continues to finsh the puzzle as everyone else was talking, making and finshing puzzles were one of the few things that shiro loved to do....it made him feel calm

Uryxia rolls her eyes, -If I were Mom, I wouldn't answer Kitty's calls, either...- "Let me try," says Uryxia, getting out her own, also grey (even their digivices match), digivice, and attempts to call Catherine herself.

Again, there's no pickup from Catherine's digivice. Kitty fidgets nervously, her blue eyes intensely focused on her sister's face. -Why would Mom pickup for boring old Urrie and not me? Hmph. Urrie's got a mighty high opinion of herself,- she thinks as she holds her expression and pose in one of utmost antici...pation.

"Uh oh," Uryxia says, some of the worry breaking through her normally guarded expression, -Maybe Kitty's right, everyone's been saying how things are getting more dangerous, maybe Mom is dead,- "We need to handle this calmly, Kitty, we're fearless adventurers like Mom and Dad once were..." Uryxia was trying to calm herself as well as her twin.

The more he thought about the fights ahead, Squall got more worried...and anxious. Lifting his digivice he spoke on the general chat, "Hey, has anyone seen Catherine? We need supplies and we have to get moving."

Kitty shook her head, "We're going to have to get supplies ourselves, then, I guess. Should we....call Dad and tell him Mom's missing?" She looked at her Digivice as Squall spoke, as though it had been given to her from the devil himself.

"Not me, sorry Squall," Lisa said as she picked up her D-Arc.

"Yeah," Uryxia says absently before shaking her head to clear it and then getting her usual expression back, "Yeah, we should do both of those things, you call Dad, I wouldn't know how to break it to him, and I'll start gathering supplies, hold on... how're we gonna pay for this?"

"Umm, we're the children of -heroes-. They should just throw it at our feet?" Kitty asks, blinking vaguely. "Or we could tell them that we'll work for them once this is all over, I guess. We've done that before, haven't we?" She asked, as she dialed her father and waited for him to pickup.

Karen pulls out her bag and pulls out enough digi dollars to pay for the suppies /// shiro finally finsh the puzzle

Squall was glad at least one person answered his call. Deciding to round up the others he started marching toward the dots on his digivice marking the position of the 'demonic duo'.

Uryxia doesn't notice Karen's offering because they're in two different parts of town and simply hopes that they CAN open a tab, -I suppose they SHOULD allow it, since we are the children of heroes...- Uryxia just stands there as her sister gets in touch with Uryx. At the house, Uryx answers his digivice, "Hello, Kitty, get into trouble already, usually I don't have to go get you guys until after a couple days," -and that was before my spirits stopped working for me and I had to give them to Uryxia.-

"Dad, Mom's missing," Kitty blurts out. "We tried calling her, and she didn't answer. Nobody's seen her at town. Iunno if there could've been an accident - Mom's a great rider and all, I guess. But...she should've beaten us here." She's careful to suppress the panic in her voice, and mentally barating herself for not lying to her father. Ooops.

"Catherine's in trouble!?" Uryx almost shouts as he jumps out of his chair, "Alright, need to calm down... I'll get looking for her, maybe she crashed or something," Uryx's suggestion sounds as lame to him as it most likely does to Kitty, "Ask the people in town to form a search party, I'll look around here, don't worry too much about her though, your mother is more than capable of handling herself," -trust me...- "You guys go ahead with your journey and leave finding her to me, alright?"

Both Karen and Shiro walked from their spots and meets each other at the center of the village as they wait for the others before heading out towards the exit

Kitty is astonished at what Uryx says, her eyebrows raising in astonishment. "Okay, Dad. I'll talk to Dave about it," she says, seriously, blinking down at the screen of her Digivice. "We'll try to save the Digital World in time for us to come help look for Mom, okay? Everything'll be alright. It is Mom we're talking about, here." And that's precisely why we should worry, Kitty tells herself. Mom doesn't do much other than dishes and cooking these days. And her garden. Someday, Kitty thinks, I'll destroy that garden. That'll show Mom! "Um. Remember your guns if you're going to go out looking. If there's trouble, it might come looking for you." Like it might've for Mom...

"Of course, Kitty, you guys be careful too, look out for each other for me, ok?" Uryx says, going to get his rifle. Uryxia just stands around, a little uncomfortable by the conversation, -I like how Mom won't be watching us the whole time, but I'm not sure these circumstances are preferable...-

"Okay, Dad. Call us if anything happens, okay? I love you. Byeeeeee," Kitty says, before closing the channel and lifting her gaze to her sister's. Her expression is stricken with concern, but she says, "Alright. Let's go get some supplies - Dad'll be pissed that we've got to open a tab, but hopefully we can keep him from having to work overtime if we volunteer to do work later."

As Uryx begins to look for Catherine around (the outside of, as in, the area around, not around the inside) the house, Uryxia nods to her sister, "Yeah, well, I'm sure everything will work out in the end, we should probably form a search party to look for Mom first, though."

"Oh...yeah. Let's go find Dave then," Kitty says, somewhat weakly. "And...then...Yeah. Let's go look for Dave, and then buy the supplies." She scratches the back of her head, past the short-cropped hair, thinking. "Although saving the Worlds is more important. Er, are more important. Ahh, hell. BE MORE IMPORTANT!" She looks to her sister, hoping to lighten the mood at least a fraction.

Uryxia does something she would only do for her sister, she smiles, just a little, before going back to normal, -she tries so hard sometimes,- "Yeah, let's go," she says as she begins walking toward the town hall (where else would you expect to find a mayor).

Kitty is in tow, pocketing her Digivice. "Want me to handle the talking, Urrie?" She offers. "He caters more to my brand of insanity than yours." It's language she heard her mother use once. She winces as she says it - the joke, if there is one, has never made any sense at all to her.

Following his digivice, Squall finds the twins. "Hey, when you two finish collecting the supplies come find Karen and me. we'll be near the middle of town." That said, the man walked towards Karen's location, tying to be near the two as little as possible.

"Sounds like a good idea to me," says Uryxia, -I really wouldn't want to talk to him either, and Kitty seems to actually LIKE him for some reason, but I guess she's just weird like that.- Then Squall catches up to them, she nods at him, acknowledging what he said even though it didn't seem to matter that much, -I really don't trust that guy...-

Kitty merely continues to follow, not bothering to give Squall a second glance. She could handle the Digital World - her sister can handle these newcomers. She noted, briefly, how dark it was getting outside - she hoped Dad at least got his glasses before he went out with his rifle.

As Squall and Griever aproach the center of Lilymoon, the man sees Shiro. -Damnit. I can't get away from these people.- They arrive and Squall sits in silence.

Suddenly, as if from out of nowhere, Dave, the mayor of Lilymoon (apparently for life considering he's STILL mayor after 16 years), appears, "HELLO, Kitty! It's very nice to see you and your sister in our quaint little town again!" "GAH!!!" is how Uryxia responds (like she usually does to Dave being near her).

Shiro looks at the sky as he reads a book and doesn't notices Squall/// Karen waves sightly at him

Kitty giggles cheerfully, jumping up and down. "HELLO DAVEEEEYKINS!" She declares, waving her hand in his face excitably. "Davvers, Mom's gone missing. We're all very worried. Do you think everyone would be willing to help us look for her?"

Dave seems to be equally as happy as Kitty, "Catherine is missing, that's troubling news, but there's no need to fear! I will personally gather everyone in town that isn't crucial to its running is on a search party to find her!" Dave then walks off to gather townsfolk without saying anymore. -You'd think he'd actually stick around to see if we're done talking...- Uryxia thinks, watching him.

"That works," Kitty says, glancing back to her sister. "Okay. Supplies. Then we make sure that Dave gets his, um, what does Mom say? ADD self into gear, and then we get moving." She grins like it's all quite simple really. Their adventure has ended up starting before they'd gotten too far away from home. Rockin'.

Jex walks quickly down the street, wishing he hadn't sold his bike a few weeks back... That forebodeing feeling was still with him. And the farther he goes, the worse it gets. Using the fact that from a distance his Digivice looks like a cell phone to his advantage, he whips out his digital device and begins to scroll around again. He discovers a log of all the Bio-Emergence events he'd ever dealt with, a Scan feature, a homing device that apparently tracks down Digivices he's connected with, and a GPS, among other things. He reaches the store before he realizes it, and, lost in his Digivice, walks right past it. Suddenly, the device begins to beep furiously. As Jex begins to take off running towards the Bio-Emergence event, the beep ceases, and the event is, by all appearences, over. Perplexed, Jex looks about and realizes he has gone right past the store. He walks back, picks up the eggs and milk, and begins his trek back home. Once again, the Digivice goes off, and once again, just as his adreneline begins to flow, it ceases. Confused beyond belief, Jex trugdes home with the groceries.

"Right," Uryxia says, nodding, as she heads to the market district, which just so happens to be near the others, when she sees that Karen had already gotten a lot of supplies, she looks at what they have gathered and tries to see what they may have forgotten, forming a mental list, then she walks to a shop, and asks the shopkeeper, "Do you think we could get a wagon and a digimon to pull it for free? Or at least, get it now and work for it later?"

Kitty merely stands beside her sister, nodding her head all the while. It'd be easier, she thinks, if everyone carried what they needed on their backs - though, clearly, those who hadn't lived in the Digital World were in no shape to do so.

Uryxia goes from shop to shop, getting the remaining things they might need (and an interesting enough looking book), building up a tab with a few of the more stuffy shopkeepers (though most were more than happy to give stuff to the daughters of the saviors of the digital world for free). Uryxia didn't feel too great about taking advantage of them like this, but they really had little choice at the time. When they were done, Uryxia carried the stuff back to the others, "You guys start loading this stuff onto the wagon I bought," and as she said that a wagon being pulled by a Garurumon pulled up beside them, "while Kitty and I finish our business here." -I don't really want to be their leader, but they don't seem capable of doing anything for themselves, so I'll just tell them what to do until they make someone else leader.-

"Ok," Lisa said as she started lugging stuff onto the wagon as quickly as possible, 'I've gotta find a way to make it up to everyone... I have to try my hardest in order to help out," Lisa thought.

"Um, we can pay them back later, Urrie," Kitty says somewhat helpfully, practically reading her sister's thoughts. "The Shopkeepers. These other hooligans," hooligans is an awesome word!, "I don't really like or trust, but they're the best we've got. So for now, let's tread softly." And...what other business must we attend to?

Uryxia was looking for mayor Dave to make sure he was getting his ADD butt in gear. When she found him, he was leading a team of enthusiastic looking digimon, and the group was growing ever larger, "Hey, Dave!" Uryxia shouted over to him, "We have important things to take care of in the digital world, if you find our Mom, be sure to tell our Dad, he'll know how to tell us, I... appreciate all you're doing for us..." Uryxia didn't usually have to thank anyone for anything, so she was a little uncomfortable, but she felt she HAD to, at least now.

Kitty nods her head, "What she means to say," she says, enthusiastically, to Dave, "is: OMGTHANKYOUSOMUCHDAVEIT'SREALLYGREATWEHOPEYOUHAVEAWESOMEADVENTUR ESANDSTUFF!" She exhales sharply, then grins slyly. "Have fuuuun. Goodluck finding our Mom, Dave. Thanks again."

As Squall loaded the caravan up he began speaking to Lisa. "When they get back I think we should go speak with the Angemon. He did, afterall, give us the warning and requested our presence."

"Yeah, that's true... so who should step up?" Lisa asked as she continued to load stuff on the wagon.

"Well," began Squall, abit angrily, "I sure as hell won't be taking orders from the twins. Or this 'Shiro' guy."

"So its you, me, or Karen," Lisa said.

Uryxia looks aside to her sister, -couldn't have said it better myself,- and they walked back to the rest of the group, Dave waved and shouted, "Don't you worry yourselves one bit! We'll find your mother for sure!" When she saw that they still weren't done loading it, her thoughts were, -they STILL aren't done? I guess I'll help...- and Uryxia began helping to load it without saying anything.

Kitty, instead of helping, stared up at the sky and tapped a booted foot. "When're we gonna goooooo," she complained. "We need to go soooooooooon. Why are we taking so looooooong."

"Over all, I don't think it matters. They aren't really order followers anyway," Squall pointed out, indicating the duo.

Lisa continued to put stuff on, "You're probably right, unlike Catherine and Uryx, they don't seem particularly... wanting to follow our directions," Lisa said.

"What's that about us?" Uryxia asks, finishing up the last of the things, still in her same old voice, "Do you two have a problem with my sister and I?"

Kitty abruptly glances over. "Hey, we're not being rude to you guys. Show us a bit of respect - we've been here longer than you have, and know the land better."

"But we're more experienced with fighting," Lisa told them.

"Pesonally, I don't like your brashness." Squall started at Uryxia. "Your sister I can get over."

Uryxia looks through Squall again, "Fine, we'll do things your way, so where do we go from here?" -This oughtta be good, from what I remember of Dad's stories, assuming these really are his old comrades, they couldn't lead for beans. I really don't know where we should go from here anyway...- Uryxia's expression doesn't change.

"Well if Squall doesn't mind, I need to meet someone again," Lisa told them.

"You know they lay of the land, as Kitty said." Squall says, "First we must speak to Angemon. He sent the message that the worlds were in danger." The man heard Lisa's request and asked, "Who must you meet?"

"Well its an old friend from when we were last here. Not sure if you remember me mentioning him. He was my Guru, Jijimon," Lisa explained.

"I don't mind you meeting with an old friend but i'm not sure about the others," Squall says to Lisa. "We do need to get to Angemon though. If neither of you mind," The man addressed the twins, "Could you lead the way? I never could control our group." -Nor did I care to try.- added Squall mentally.

"There's no location called Angemon," Kitty says, staring at Squall and lifting a brown eyebrow. "There's Digimon called Angemon, though. Duh."

"Sorry," Uryxia says, "You guys figure things out for yourselves, we'll FOLLOW," she stresses follow. With what Kitty says she nods, "and Kitty's right, you have to be more specific than that."

"I know that," Squall says, already starting to get irritated. -How the hell are they pissing me off so easily?- "The digimon didn't specify where they were, but I figured we could go to the Crystal Palace. You should know where that is at least." Squall said the last remark with a little sarcasm.

"We know where that is. But because you guys don't like us, why don't you all find your own way there?" Kitty interrupts. Her expression is one of scorn and distaste.

Uryxia nods, "And there's another place inhabited by Angemon, too," she adds, though she doesn't elaborate.

"Because the fate of both worlds are at stake!" Squall was begining to lose it. "It's obvious that you two are too selfish and thoughtless to care though!" Squall thought of how he came to the Digital World looking for Uryx and Catherine. He had mentioned to the upstart Kitty the stake yet she ignored him, choosing to insult him instead.

Kitty opens her eyes a little wider, then leans forward, standing on her tiptoes to gaze into Squall's eyes with her intense, blue ones. "If you want mindless obedience, why don't you just ask our parents to go with you?" She asks, angrily, her hands curling into fists. "We know what's at stake - but so far, we don't know what we're doing other than going after a certain Angemon, where he is, or what, exactly, we're supposed to be doing otherwise!"

"Look, it's not that we don't care," Uryxia says, "It's just that we don't know we can trust you, especially when you talk about us behind our backs. If you want us to actually help, then give us something to work with. Otherwise, we can just do this ourselves, isn't that right, Kitty?"

"Easily," Kitty says, snapping her fingers. "It'd be a cakewalk."

Squall had run out of steam in his last tirade. "You could help by at least pointing me in the right direction of the Crystal Dome. I can start alone from there," the man said quietly, dejected.

"If you must know, there's two ways to get there from here," Uryxia says, "There's a way that goes through the desert, wastelands, and mountains, that's the treacherous way. Then, there's the path through the forest and through the entire length of the Holy Protocol Zone, that's the long way, which would you prefer... and no matter which way you're going, we'll go with you." -I don't want to risk you attacking the innocent, it's still possible this is all an act.-

"If you two insist on following, we should take the safer path," Squall says, still sad. He may not like them but the thought of them getting hurt pained him. If it could be avoided, there would be no fights.

"Suit yourself," Uryxia shrugs, "It's this way," she says as she points the wagon in the right direction and gets the Garurumon moving before taking a place behind the wagon and walking with it there. Uryxia just thinks as the new caravan sets out on a new adventure, -I can't afford to sleep, I've gotta watch these guys in case they try anything...-

And here's part 2, we begin to find out what's been going on with the other digidestined like Karen, Lisa, and Abyss around now. By the way, I'm sorry if you think the end is a little abrupt, but this chapter was just becoming far too long, and people need to know this stuff. Fear not, for the next chapter will continue precisely where this one stops, no time in between the two chapters.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lisa was sitting on her bed in her dorm room, staring at a desk drawer, 'I can't believe it... soon as I get out of the Digital World I'm sent to another school, so I basically can't see any of my friends again, or not for awhile at least...' she thought. 'lus I have to keep Yumikibotamon hidden, as well as my D-Arc, plus what're the chances that Danielle and I have to switch each others' schools? This can't be good, especially if there are any digital emergencies, I can't really help,' she thought as well, her gaze still locked on the desk drawer.

Elsewhere in a private collage. A girl with purple hair was walking down the path while wearing a green blazer jacket, a tan vest, a long white collared sleeved shirt, a green skirt, white long socks and brown shoes. Her hair was shorter than it was before but it was very long. She still had the ribbons in her hair and was now wearing glasses on her face. She had a red jewel collar necklace and a black book case on her right hand. She was holding a red flip up cellphone as she was waiting for the bus....she had finally attended collage after the digital event that happen to her in her final days of high school. She had a 4 year scollership and was well know.

Jonas was looking out from the window ledge of the apartment he and his mother lived in. He still couldn't believe in three days, their adventure ended, but also something new started. At least he knew Uryx and Catherine were doing okay. ~I mean... THEY HAD KIDS >.>~ he said in thought. It was weird... after only this short time he already missed Lisa... He pulled out his digivice, and stared down at it for a moment. He slowly pressed the communicator button. almost not realizing he was doing it. "L-Lisa...?" he asked looking down at it, in almost a whisper. In all of his thoughts, he had forgotten they could talk via their digivices.

Lisa heard a beep and immediately unlocked her desk drawer and locked her room door and got her D-Arc, "Yeah?" she asked, slightly nervous, since she didn't want anyone else to notice her D-Arc.

He felt a huge relief swell over him and he sat down on a chair near him. "Hey... It's Jonas." it felt good to hear her voice.

"Oh... hi," she said, looking at her door nervously, she knew the other girls used cell phones, and that her door was locked, but she still couldn't help but feel a sense of nervousness.

Karen slowly called her friends and started to talk as she was now riding the bus towards her apartment. After a few minuets of traveling on the bus, she slowly reached her apartment and got off the bus before walking towards the door. She pulls out the key and then unlocks the door. She soon opens the door and slowly closed the door before heading towards her table. She soon pulls out her labtop and looks at the website...as if she was trying to find some way to get back into the digital world

"Hi..." Jonas answered back. "Just thought if you had the time... maybe we could talk. You doing okay over there? I heard about how you had to change schools... that's... too bad..." even though he was simply talking into a small object, he felt a little nervous.

Jim was leaning against a locker, looking at his cell phone, 'Geez... she's taking way too long,' he thought as he looked around. Meanwhile, Lisa looked surprised, "Wait, how did you hear? Just about no one else has heard so far," she said.

"When I didn't see you at school, I asked a teacher and he said you had to leave for 'ersonal' reasons. I just sort of.. pieced it together..." he told her.

Jex walks down the hall, still reeling from the Meramon's news. A threat to both the real AND Digital worlds? This could be big...but, lost in thought, he bumps into a guy standing near the girl's bathroom. "Oh, sorry...You okay?" Jex asks, still half lost in thought.

Karen soon her the message from her D-Terminal but chose not to answer for the moment as she was trying to figure out how to get back into the digital world

Jim looked at the guy, "Yeah, what about you?" he asked, deciding to make small talk while he waited for Danielle.

"Oh, well umm.. thanks for worrying about me I guess," Lisa said.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Heh...It's kind of a new habit, worrying about people, I'm Jex. What's your name?" Jex replies, only now noticing his sudden ability to worry about total strangers.

Jonas nodded, but realized she couldn't see him. "No problem..." he added. "It feels weird not seeing you every day... we spent so much time together in the Digital World... it's like..." he paused. "I expect to wake up in the middle of the night, out in the wilderness, with the rest of the team around me, including you. It just feels so weird to be back..." he told her.

"Jim," was all he said, as a girl walked out of the bathroom and stood next to him, "Who's this?" the girl asked, "Jex I guess," he told her and she nodded, smiling a bit. Meanwhile, Lisa continued to talk to Jonas, "Yeah, I am used to seeing everyone, and I may not know a lot of people here, but I'll get along," Lisa told him.

"Well," Jex says halfheartedly, "nice to meet you. Now...oh, no! I've really got to be somewhere! Uh...catch you later, Jim!" Jex walks quickly down the hallway. Somewhere in that conversation, the old, nervous Jex took over. Suddenly, he felt the urge to be anywhere but there...

Karen search and search but found nothing again "damn it.....there's have to be something to it for the portal to work like it did the last time" she said as she placed her right index finger on her chin

"Okay... I'm glad. I just wish me and you could see each other again.. just so we can clear things up.. We never got to say good bye..." Jonas told her softly.

"Umm... yeah," Lisa said, "plus I'm not able to see anyone else," she added.

Jonas had an idea. "Hey.. is there a computer near you?" he asked her.

"I have a laptop, but that's it. Why?" Lisa asked.

"We should go to the digital world! I'll go from the computer at my school... and you go from your lap top. We can meet there and talk, in person. Like we used to, when we used the computer lab to go to the digital world. I mean.. our digivices should still work." Jonas said.

"Not sure, it could be a little trouble if I got caught, well, a lot. Plus it's even easier for you to get caught," Lisa told him.

He almost laughed. "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. And you can go in through your room, since it's your lap top. I know it's risky..." Jonas paused. "But I know it'll be worth it..."

"Yeah, but how do you know we can even get there anyways? The portal to the Digital World could be closed for all we know..." Lisa said.

Jonas was surprised this was broughten up. "Oh... That's an easy one..." he started. "I know it'll open... because i went to the digital world yesterday..." he told her.

"wait.....what if I do this" she said as she starts to press the buttons on the digivice as she soon finds a code in it. She slowly starts writing the code down onto the laptop and the screen starts to shine brightly as it was reacting towards the code. Soon a rainbow light starts to surround her D-terminal and soon... The digital gate was open

"O-Ok, well we might as well go..." Lisa said, somewhat nervously.

"Hey.. don't you worry about it. Just grab YumikiBotamon, and use your laptop. I'll enter as soon as I can. Then we can find eachother using the digivices." and with that, he ran out of his house, Leormon following close behind.

Lisa nodded and got out her laptop, she opened it up and after ten or so minutes managed to get the Digital Gate open, "Well now I can get in," Lisa said as she grabbed Yumikibotamon from under her desk, made sure her room door was locked, and went into the Digital World.

Karen's eyes widden by what just happen but she slowly starts to smile "yes...it work...now..to make sure that if somehow the gate was closed...i could get back home" she said as she starts typing in another code from her D-Terminal and hits the enter button as a small digi code was surronding the gate. "there....now if the same thing happen again...this time i'll be ready for it" she said as she jumps into the digital world

Jonas arrived in the computure room about 15 minutes later, and he turned on a computer. He pointed his digivice at it and said, "Digi-Port, open!" a beam of light shot out of the computer, and he and Leormon were sucked inside of the monitor.

Lisa was wandering around the Digital World, looking for anything, a restaurant, or some place she could eat, though she would prefer a restaurant if anything, "I can't really find anything..." Lisa said as she got out her D-Arc and looking at it, noticing a strange pattern on her tracker, and went to find whatever it was.

Jonas looked down at his digivice, and after a moment saw Lisa on his tracker. "Let's go Leormon!" he said, smiling at his partner. The two began running towards Lisa, who was luckily not far off.

Uryx and Uryxia dismounted from Wingdramon and walked into their house. Uryxia still had no idea what was going on and Uryx still wanted to catch up with his old friend, Squall.

Lisa saw a house, "A house out in the Digital World? In such an unexpected area? Well, might as well go to it, see who lives there and stuff," Lisa said as she walked over to the house and knocked on the door, waiting paitently for whoever was in there to open the door.

Jonas came to a clearing, and not far away saw Lisa standing in front of a house. He ran down and called, "Lisa!" he waved to her at the same time.

Karen slowly appered from the sky and landed in a clearing in the forest. She was wearing a much longer red blazer with a black dress and purple and black stockings. "it's good to be back..i missed this place" she said as she starts to walk down the path until she sees lisa and a house. "lisa...jonas" said karen as she was atop of a hill

Lisa looked behind her and waved to Jonas, though she said nothing.

Catherine glanced down at her Digivice, prefering to put up tack and saddle in the back before following Uryx, Uryxia, and Kitty inside. Holding a psychic conversation with Wingdramon was taking all of her attention, and thus not noting any noise that might come from the front of the house. Kitty, meanwhile, was walking right beside Uryx, the father that she always idolized - despite annoying displays of modesty.

Lisa tapped her foot waiting for a response, then knocked on the door again, this time a little louder, "I hope whoever lives here comes soon," Lisa said.

Jonas grinned, and ran down to her. "Hey!" he said, crossing his arms. Leormon happily ran up and nuzzeled the side of her leg affectionately. Jonas turned and saw Karen. He waved to her as well.

Karen slowly waved to jonas as she walks down the path and soon reaches the others " it's been a while since we went our seperate ways"

Uryx hears the door, "ugh... I hope that's not Jack about me missing work today..." He walks over and opens it to find many of his other old comrades standing there, he didn't notice that they were only three days older than the last time he'd seen them because of his poor vision, but he knew it was them. "GUYS!!! You've finally come back! What've you been up to for the past 16 years?" Uryxia was sitting by the window, thinking.

Lisa smiled to Jonas, "Hey," she said and then looked over to who opened the door, "Umm... hi?" Lisa asked, not knowing who it was.

Karen slowly step back by what just happen "err....who are you....and how do you know.....is that you uryx" said karen as she tries to look at him closly " it is you" she said as she jumps to hug him which would surpise anyone since karen would never do that

Kitty sat beside her sister, somewhat nervously. "I think dad's off his rocker again," she whispers to her sister, glancing towards their father with concern - it was one of the few things that worried her enough to snap out of her silliness. Catherine, meanwhile, lifted her Digivice, worn, old, dented, and now off-white, and leaned against the back of the house. -I'll have to make a few calls,- she concluded to herself, before entering through the backdoor and walking into the entryway, not noticing Karen, Lisa, and Jonas all standing there. She pulled the flight goggles up onto her forehead and removed her leather riding gloves, dropping them on the table before looking up in shock. Instead of greeting them, she promptly retreated to the cellar. "Mom, too," Kitty whispered to Uryxia at that.

Jonas smiled to Uryx, already knowing he had grown from the day before. "Hey man good to see you... You look.." he tried to find the right word. "Sophisticated. ._." he told him.

"Wow Uryx, you look older... and this is what you've been doing for the past... three and a half days..." Lisa said.

Uryx backsteps away from Karen's hug, "Whoa! I'm happy to see you too, but I have a wife now! And what about you, wouldn't you be married by now yourself?" Uryx exclaims, still very touched by the display. Uryxia looks to Kitty, "These are obviously their affairs, I'm staying out of it until things make sense again..." then she returns to thinking, this not knowing what's going on was bugging her.

Kitty shrugs her shoulders helplessly, then hunches them and leans forward where she sits. -I'll try to be like her and be quiet,- she figures, and then lets her mind wander to Dave. Dave was the shit, no doubt about it.

Jonas scratched his head. "Maybe you don't understand Uryx... You might have aged.... but we didn't. We've been in the real world since the final battle."

"I think we're still a little too young to be married," Lisa told him.

Karen slowly got back from him "wife....wait..i'm thinking that i got this down" she said as she slowly got up from the ground and push up her glasses "to us..it's been 3 and a half days but in the digital world...it's been 16 years...." said karen as she waves her index finger

-So the others have made it here, too- thought Squall upon seeing the others at the door.

Catherine steps out of the cellar, catsuit exchanged for simple, blue pleated dress. "Jonas, Karen," she says, quietly, before looking at the last new arrival. "Lisa," she says, somewhat guardedly. "Good to see you all again. Uryx, they don't look a day older than when we last saw them!"

"Yeah, we aren't," Lisa said.

"Really? hmm... that would make sense... so wait, it's only been three days for you? How is that possible?" Uryx asks then thinks, "Well, what're we all standing around out here for? Come in, come in. Catherine! We have guests! Oh, I guess you already know..." he just noticed she had been standing there, and then he stands aside and lets the others enter.

"um actually...i'm 18 years old now..and i graduated early from high school and in collage now..." she said as she sweatdrops but then turns to uryx " i think that it's possible since the digital world is on the internet and nearly everything on the internet moves at a much higher speed then our world so it would explan the time line"

Catherine flashes her near-sightless husband a brief grin, her neat white teeth showing for a second before she turned around and paced into the kitchen. "What would everyone like to eat?" She calls. "Sandwiches? That's usually Uryx's specialty, but I reckon I can manage."

Lisa's eyes went wide, "That sounds great!" Lisa said happily as she walked in after everyone else.

Jonas nodded in agreement. "Deffinately. Thanks for the hospitality..." he said, walking in.

"Looks like company..." Uryxia says, seeing all the teens around her and Kitty's age entering, "Where did mom and dad see these guys at? They almost never go out, at least no farther than Lilymoon, and there's no humans there..." Uryxia returned to thinking as Uryx took his place in his favorite chair, making himself comfortable.

"Alright...What would everyone like?" Catherine continues to call as she opens the thing that -passes-, rather -poorly-, for a fridge. "We've got synthetic cheese, although Wingdramon can bring real meat if anyone wants it. Although you may end up eating something with a face still on it. Beyond that, just say what you'd like."

"that would be nice..thank you" she said before bowing and then turning to kitty and uryxia "are these two your children" she said as she points at them

"Anything is fine..." jonas told Catherine. He saw their daughters and said, "Hi again.. remember me from yesterday?" he asked the two.

"Synthetic cheese? Meat with a face? I think I'll settle with a cheese sandwich," Lisa told them before turning to the two kids and waving to them happily.

Kitty nods her head slowly, then looks awful offended as she's pointed at. She bites her tongue, literally, and says something that sounds like, "Ovtgh courghth wyre thergh kidghz," unable to stop herself. She then looks at Jonas with mild alarm.

"Grilled or not?" Catherine calls from the kitchen, leaning to glare at Karen from the hallway. "I'll see what I've got in the fridge for you, Karen." Wingdramon psychically sniggers at her tone, recognizing the deeply veiled threat.

Leormon, clearly recognizing Uryx, grinned and hopped up on his lap. He couldn't see a difference between how he was now, and 16 years before. "I'll have a grilled please!" Jonas called happily.

"Grilled please," Lisa said before turning to the kids, "Hi, I'm Lisa," she told them.

Uryxia sees them, not really liking the look of any of them, she recognizes Jonas, though she didn't know his name. She doesn't reply and just turns back to the window to think some more, -This makes SO little sense...- Uryx says, "yes they are, though they're normally more polite around friends, AREN'T YOU?" he asks his daughters in the kind of voice you'd expect a father to use in that situation.

"a meat sandwitch plz" she said before sweatdroping catherine still has her deadly stare of death.......

"We're being perfectly polite!" Kitty complains. "It's not every day you get to meet superheroes! Besides, they should be used to this kind of treatment!" Unable to stop herself, she addresses Karen with interest. "Can you fly? Daddy can't."

"...on second thought....i'll just watch you guys eat " said karen as she laughed sightly trying not to make the situation worse

Catherine whistles to herself as she starts slicing cheese and buttering bread. Eventually, she returns with a plate of sandwiches, handing out one to every individual there. When she gets to Karen, she gives her something that, should Karen look, there'd be a face. "Too late," she says with a shake of her head. "You're too late. You're going to have to eat that, Karen. Food goes to waste far too easily here. So enjoy." She grins wickedly before taking a seat beside Uryx, crossing her booted, skirted legs, and lightly taking one of his hands in hers.

Uryxia hears her father's tone and faces the company, though her listless expression doesn't change, "Hello, I'm Uryxia Randal, I see you obviously already know my parents somehow, and I'm kind of curious just how two adults would know so many people around our age." Uryxia wanted answers and they weren't going to come out of her own head. Uryx gives Uryxia a warning look that says 'would it kill you to smile?'

Karen slowly looks at the sandwitch and saw the face before having two more sweatdrops on her face. chances are that this is posion or it will taste awful...75% She slowly takes a deep breath and starts to eat the sandwitch. As soon as she finshes...her facial color turned pale and she slowly lays on the ground shaken in fear and sickness

Lisa took the sandwich from Catherine, "Thanks Catherine, it looks great," Lisa told her as she looked at one of the daughters, the one that talked, "Nice to meet you Uryxia," Lisa said to her.

Kitty grumbled to herself, grumbling unhappily, "I'm Kitty, and I do....stuff." Catherine doesn't roll her eyes at either of her daughters, but instead merely strokes Uryx's hand, which she still holds. She smiles blandly at Lisa as she's thanked, and then resumes tame housewife mode.

Karen slowly crawls herself towards the bathroom and starts to puke ...i think that i either saw..my soul...a shimigami...or the devil...either way...i have seen true suffering

Uryxia doesn't smile, she just looks at the other's carefully, not moving, the air was growing increasingly more uncomfortable, -Why didn't they answer my question? hmm...- Uryx then says to the two, "It seems like the two time streams move differently between the two worlds," he remembers what Karen had said as she was walking in, "These really are my friends who saved the digital world a decade and a half ago. Speaking of which," and Uryx pulls the rough draft of his book titled "Digital Chaos," and hands it to anyone to take a look at, "I've written about it in this rough draft of a book, I just finished it earlier this same day." Although Uryx seemed happy and trusting of these strangers which he simply accepted were his suspiciously unaged friends from so long ago, Uryxia wasn't. "Well, that explains a few things, MAYBE." Uryxia replies to Uryx, "but how come when we went to the real world for a while, we didn't come back to see another year had gone by?"

Catherine speaks up, then, turning her head to look directly at Uryxia. "Perhaps something's messing with the timestream, Uryxia. It's strange that the portals would open up in Uryx's and my lifetime." Her tone is relatively level, although careful. "I frankly wasn't expecting to see any of you again. Dracomon had explained the time differentiation to me ages ago." She glances away, her expression becoming distant as she considers, tapping one finger against her temple. "Maybe we're just special," Kitty suggests to Uryxia. "Maybe that's our superpower." She's not expecting her twin to give an answer, though, if she did, that'd be AWESOME!

"there's a perfectly logical explanation to why that the time stream here works differently then the human world and keeps on changing...but...I can't solve it right now because i got other things to turn to" she said before throwing up in the toilet.. -i think my lungs exploded...-

Uryx thought about this for a while, Uryxia was right, as she usually tended to be, they left earlier that day and returned not days later but the same day they had left. Knowing Kitty, they wouldn't have only stayed for a minute, she would've insisted upon seeing EVERYTHING, Uryxia too, though she wouldn't have shown it, for that matter. "Maybe it was the portals..." he suggests, "Maybe when they're open, the timelines are forced to line up again. The two worlds have been separated for the past 16 years for me, and when they opened again, time moved at the same pace?" Uryx's suggestion was far more logical than Kitty's, so Uryxia figured he may have been right, -They don't SEEM to be after anything, we should just watch them for now. Maybe they are who they seem.-

'That must mean I'm out for a large portion of it...' Lisa thought as she looked at it, then passed it over. "So how's life been going for the two- I mean four of you?" Lisa asked.

"Maybe," Catherine responds to Uryx somewhat darkly. "But even if that is or isn't the case, we need to consider why the portals would be opening up. The Digital World doesn't just open portals for fun." Kitty, upon seeing her suggestion shot down by overwhelming veto of it, leans against her sister and grumbles to herself.

Through all of this, Jonas remained silent. He had taken a sandwhich, and was silently nibbling it. He ripped off a bit of it, and gave it to Leormon, who happily ate it.

Lisa rolled her eyes slightly, 'And when I try to start lighter conversation, poof,' she thought.

Karen soon finished throwing up what was left in her stomach and slowly crawls back to where the others were at but her face was still pale. "can i have a glass of lemonade...."

Uryx thought, Uryxia watched warily, and Uryx said, "Catherine's right... portals DON'T just open... something must be going on, but I haven't SEEN anything strange, have any of you?"

"Nope, then again, I've been stuck in the real world," Lisa said.

"Well..." Jonas started. "Lisa wasn't around when it happened... But in the real world, three Meramon bio-emerged and warned us of a coming danger... They didn't explain anything else but..." he paused. "Something's up.. I know it..."

At this new information, Catherine purses her lips and abruptly stands, moving across the room and into the kitchen. "I forgot something in the cellar," she says, blandly, as she pulls the trapdoor open and descends, closing it shut after her. -Bioemerging digimon?- She thinks as she flips her trusty rusty Digivice out, pressing a few buttons to open a private comm channel. -There goes the retirement,- she thinks as a face flashes on the screen. "Commander?" It asks her simply as she paces to the far end of the cellar, glaring down at the digivice. "Captain," she greets it. "You and I have much to discuss..."

-Something's up...- Uryx knew the feeling, he got the feeling that someone was missing from this little party, "Hold on, where's Jex?" he inquired, realizing who was absent. Uryxia didn't move, she didn't even seem to blink as she watched the strangers that may not have been who they seemed to be, Uryxia was no fool, her father may have been willing to trust them instantly, but she wasn't.

"guys....should i head towards the white light or away from it" she said as she was seeing a bright white light that no one could see since she was still messed up from eating the sandwich

"Jex... I haven't seen him, of course I haven't seen aynone," Lisa said quietly, unsure if anyone would hear.

Kitty, meanwhile, watches from her seat behind her sister. -Wasn't Jex the one who...killed a dragon and then brought it back from the dead and then they all went and had a picnic?- She wonders to herself. -I'll really have to read Dad's book. I never thought this history would catch up to us! Ancient stuff!-

Jex, back in the real world, was getting a tad desperate. He knows nothing of the goings-on in the Digital World.... He picks up his Digivice and begins to flip through it's functions. Digimon Stats... General Communicator... Digimon Detector... What's this? Direct Communicator? And it had channels? Scrolling down the list of contacts, he see's Uryx's name. He selects it, and speaks shakily into the device. "Uryx? Are you there?" he says, hoping that maybe through one of the recent portals, the signal will reach.

Uryx hears Jex's voice through the old digivice he still kept with him, -speak of the devil...- he got it out and responded, "Jex, many of the old team is here at my house, where are you?"

Uryxia was watching the dying one with interest, though she didn't show the interest on her face, nor did she say anything.

"Well, hopefully one of the others has informed you of the three Meramon messangers. They said both worlds were in danger, so I opted to stay here in case of an attack. I'm just outside of the school, actually... Has anything odd been happening over there?" Jex inquires. He hardly notices Uryx's voice has gotten... more experienced is the best way to say it.

"Urrie," Kitty whispers to her sister. "I think she's puking up her -life-. That's -nasty-." She points at Karen as she whispers this. She then adds, "Sucks to be her."

"No, but we're not exactly close to anywhere that would be the target of attack, to tell the truth I was hoping to avoid adventures for the rest of my days..." Uryx sighs. "Then I'll take care of it this time, dad, it's not like you can even fight anymore anyway without your spirits," Uryxia finally says something meaningful, though she does it in the same bored tone as always, "And you, the dying one, are you gonna be alright?"

Karen slowly turns to the others and gets up slowly while wiping her mouth. " ..i'll be fine...i think...but what doesn't kill you only make you stronger....was the room always purple" she said as she tries to shake the pain off from her body

Lisa looked around, 'I don't think it'd be him... he couldn't be apart of this "danger" that these Meramon spoke of... yet Ifeel so sure of it...' Lisa thought.

Kitty ooooohs as her sister sticks it to her dad. "Yeah, I don't think you and mom will be going anywhere!" She says, very happily at the concept of her and her sister enjoying adventures fo' LIFE. Catherine paces into the room from the kitchen, giving her daughters a crippling look, and then looking at Karen. "The meet was about a week old," she says, somewhat cheerfully. "Partially rotted. I don't waste food, see?" She grins, briefly, before looking directly at Uryx. "I'll be going to Lilymoon. Is there anything I can pick up for you?"

Squall was sitting in the room with the others, next to Griever, and had been listening to the conversation.

Karen slowly gave catherine the death look -....one of these days...i'm going to pay you back in spades for what you put me through- " should have known....for the love god don't let it be food posion" she said as she placed her hand on her head

Uryx blinks at his wife, "now?" he inquires, "what about everything going on here?" Uryxia imagines her going on the types of adventures that had made her all misty eyed as a younger girl, she always figured she'd get her own adventures someday and was sort of looking forward to this.

"Um...Who was that? That other voice? Reminds me of Catherine... Well, anyway, I'm glad to hear you're alright. Just be on the lookout, and try to contact me if you find out anything about these attacks." Jex is relieved to hear that everything is alright for the time being in the Digital World. "Well...take care, Uryx. And tell Catherine I said hi." Jex cuts the Digivice off and sticks it back in his shirt pocket. He contemplates what the Meramon said...Danger... Unkown assailant... the words kept playing back through his head. Jex makes his way home. He unbuttons his shirt and tosses it to the side, straightens out his t-shirt, and takes a look in the mirror. There, he notices something he hadn't before. He had more noticable muscle structure; not drasticly more noticable, but definatly there. Perhaps a side effect of Biomerging is taking on a few of the characteristics of the combined result. Oh well, he thinks as he lays down on his bed and thinks a few pointless thoughts.

"Probably is," Catherine responds to Karen with a small smile and turn of her head, before shaking her head at Lisa. "It's just an errand run," she says, quietly. Betrayer! "Besides, you're needed here - what Uryxia said was right. Uryx and I won't be going on any adventures." Her blue-green gaze turns back to Uryx as she slowly nods her head to him. "Yeah. Now. We'll have to gather supplies for everyone. Makes no sense on all of us going, and I don't usually do anything, anyway." Her tone sounds somewhat perplexed as she says that, but she doesn't elaborate. Kitty, meanwhile, is thinking about how awesome everything is. Although these new folks, she thinks as she scrunches up her face, can go shove it. She and her sister can handle anything!

Lisa sighed, "All right..." she said as she stayed where she was.

I'll catch up with you guys later...i have to go back to the human world and take another collage test" she said gruanting before pressing the blue button on her D-Terminal and a small portal to the human world apperd. "bye for now" she said as she jumps into the portal -evil witch-

Jonas walked over to Lisa, and asked her quietly. "You okay? You seem sort of... out of it."

Abyss had been taking stock of the supplies in his headquarters, the MOSES. It seemed to him that they were low on everything, and thus, got Bravo Company together, for a resupply at Lilymoon, since they were still hovering above the outskirts of the town. he told them to take the fighters and empty the cargo bays of said fighters so that they could fit as much in as possible. Of course, since the dark master had fallen, all kinds of jobs popped up, since many more evil digimon had taken it upon themselves to try to take his place... many had fallen to Abyss and his new group "Bravo Company," and the cash had payed out not soon after. Four fighters launched from the bays, and flew to the surface, briefly glinting, classic style, against teh background as they soared out of sight of the MOSES.

Lisa looked over to Jonas, "Yeah," Lisa told him.

He nodded. "Guess we need to save the world... One more time." he said, as if it was totally normal.

Uryx lets out a sigh of relief that a third adventure wasn't being thrust upon him, -Why not?- Ryu inquires, -You really shouldn't be so modest, y'know, you did save this world after all,- -Well now someone else can handle it,- Uryx replies, in too good a mood to listen to Ryu anyway, -I just wanna sit at home and be lazy,- "Good idea, Cat, get whatever you feel would be appropriate for this adventure. I'll go too, y'know, if you think you may need a hand." Uryxia admires her sister's enthusiasm and doesn't doubt it either, they had been told many times the true power that came from their two spirits combined -Amaterasumon...-

A voice Jex both treasures and loaths drifts up the stairs. His mother. Jex gets up at her commnds and thows his shirt back on over his tee, quickly getting himself outside. "'Jex, could you get some milk and eggs?' Pfft. Fine, whatever." he says to himself out loud as he made his way down the street.

"Another adventure?" Lisa asked.

"No, it's fine," Catherine says as she leans over to kiss Uryx on the cheek. "I'll be back soon." She opens the front door and leaves, delicately closing it behind her, and then stepping into the cool evening air. She's already unbuttoning her dress to the catsuit underneath, discarding it in one of the barrels as she swings up to mount Wingdramon, without a saddle. ~We're not going to Lilymoon, are we?~ Wingdramon asks with no amusement. She shakes her head, and starts to rattle off a list of co-ordinates, him taking off directly after the first one was listed. Kitty, like her sister, is thinking to the spirit that was supposedly their parents combined. Endless awesomeness, she reflects. There's nothing cooler than infinate, uncorrupting power - they were, afterall, the children of their father.

Jonas nodded to Lisa. "but don't worry... We can handle it. As long as we all work together." he told her.

Danielle was walking and bumped into the guy (a.k.a. Jex) that she saw for a bit earlier, "Oh, sorry," she said.

Lisa nodded, "Yeah, hopefully," Lisa said, "Depending on the enemy," she added.

He shrugged. "I'm not worried. We can take on any enemy." Jonas told her, trying to reassure her.

"It's okay...hey, wait, you were at school earlier, with, uh.....Jim? was it? I believe he told you my name is Jex. What's yours?" Jex asks, a tad stunned at the seeing this girl again.

"Danielle," she said, "So what're you doing?" Danielle asked.

"Well, I was going to pick up some stuff for my mother..." Jex says, turning his gaze towards a nearby signpost as to avoid any signs of interest in the onversation, while trying not to seem rude at the same time.

"OH! If you guys are going on another adventure!" Uryx says, getting up, "I want you to do me a favor!" He runs to a different room then comes back with a sizable stack of blank papers, "You think you could keep journals about it? There's no better story than the story of us, so I'm gonna try to publish it, I would really appreciate it, I've had to write about our first adventure from memory, but I won't be around this time." If Uryxia is embarrassed by her father, she certainly doesn't show it.

"Oh, ok," Danielle said, unsure of what else to say.

Jonas nodded, and happily took the papers. "Be happy to Uryx..." He looked down at the pages. "Hopefully we'll be able to fill them all."

Kitty rolls her eyes, "Ughhhh, Dad, that's so geeky." She sounds somewhat pained. "I'm not keeping a journal."

Abyss signaled to his team-mates that he was going on ahead to visit someone, and told tehm to buy what they needed, and only waht they needed, then set off in his Guilfighter, towards the Silicone Grasslands.

Squall takes a section of the stacked papers. "No problem." He, with Griever, get up to leave the house through the backdoor. -I wonder what we'll do this time...I guess we'll go see the Angemon. He did send those digimon afterall.-

Uryx just smiles, "Also, could you guys look through that rough draft I wrote up? It kind of lacks the point of view of everyone other than myself..." he asks, motioning toward the rough draft titled "Digital Chaos" he had finished writing that day.

Suddenly, Jex once again gets a feeling of dread..like he should be somewhere else. "Well, uh....I'll be seein' you around, then...... Later" Jex says a tad hastily as he walks off.

Jonas neatly placed the rest of the papers in his backpack. "Okay, there we go ^^" he said happily.

Suddenly a sound can be heard outside of Catherine and Uryx's house, like the sound of a jet engine powering down. Some dust has been kicked into the air, and amidst that was a strange looking craft of fighter descent.

Uryx hears the fighter landing outside and asks, "What's that?" Uryxia is curious as well, but her father is the one closer to the door so he is able to open it and look outside first.

Squall, already outside, watches the craft lower cautiously.

Jonas followed their gaze, and stared at the strange vehicle.

The sound of a cockpit depressurizing can be heard. Steam rises from it, and obscures teh figure that climbs out, but it slides more than climbs, and is soon lost in the dust and steam.

From behind the group, the shadow appeared and slowly began to manifest itself, into a familiar wolfish-dragon form, as it did so, it began to slowly creep towards Uryx, and...

the creature, whispered "Boo" on the creepiest fashion ever beheld by human kind.

Uryxia, who's senses are far more keen than her father's, notices the shadow sneaking up from behind and gets between it and Uryx, "Abyss, I presume?" she says, remembering her father mentioning him in his stories.

Abyss stopped mid-scare and turned around, "Indubitably, and you are?" he asked calmly.

Uryx is still startled, even though his daughter caught Abyss, "GAH!" he turns around and sees Abyss there, "Good to see you again! That demon still giving you trouble?" Uryxia looks between her odd dad, and this draconic wolf, "I'm Uryxia." she says to him.

Kitty, meanwhile, had fallen asleep in one of the chairs, utterly missing Abyss' arrival. She was out like a light, her 'boundless' energy having been spent.

Squall calmed after learning that this newcomer was, indeed, Abyss. -I'm glad to see he's been well off, too.-

"Uryx, I see that you are as jumpy as ever," He laughed (Still creepy, his laugh.) , "Nah, just poking at you. But it is good to see you as well, been a while eh?" he looked a around, "The demon has given me no trouble as of late... it's becoming more of an asset now... I can call upon it, with some damage to myself in times of need, then put it away." he sniffed the air, "I see no one invited me to the birthdays of your daughters. I hadn't known they were yours until I smelled them. Where is the other one perchance?" He had almost completely ignored Uryxia, not on purpose, but out of joy for seeing an old friend.
