Previously on Storms of Myths:

Comet in orbit. Our time in Myths Base was exciting and informative. White Fox assigned a mission to A.J. and A.J. took me and Prince along with him. We used the biovesto pecker for the first time. At first, I stayed in the cockpit with A.J. and Ememon, but I grew bored and tired and retired to the cargo bay. I guess the first time A.J. needed experience. The small assignment was for A.J. to retrieve White Fox's army tag. He did, but some revelations occurred before. I told A.J. of my past is one thing and meeting Cliff and Nexusmon was another. A.J. found some of his items, which he thought were lost in the starship wreck. However, some stuff lost in the starship wreck, turned out to be lost, at least for the meantime. On a side note, I was able to retrieve my emerald green gem that I thought I had lost forever in the Paladin of Darkness' crash. Through direct help from Cliff and Nexusmon, A.J. found the rest of the charges of miracles. Before we left Myths Base and Myths Mosque completely, A.J. returned Misterim's army tag to Misterim, putting his army tag around the gravestone. A.J. also learned some capabilities of FCL Star Trail of his. It's back to Resolve Town with us, and Cliff and Nexusmon are the first two who aren't Feranin League to set their foot on FCL Star Trail. Thanks to A.J., both were neither harmed. On with the conclusion...

Quickly leaving Myths Base, A.J. used FCL Star Trail's capability, of what he now called "fade" and faded away, reappearing in the sky in Resolve Town, above Feranin League's shelter. A.J. grasped the basic idea behind "fade", but wasn't quite sure of how it worked. A.J. landed his biovesto pecker down close by the biovesto cabin. The biovesto suit detached itself from A.J., and the helmet left him.

He walked out of the starship and his two soul-warriors were waiting outside for him. From outside, A.J. was capable of closing the cargo bay door. Cliff and Nexusmon were cautious, as they never came close to Resolve, since they never strayed too far in Dune Desert. It amused A.J. and his two soul-warriors a bit. A few moments later and White Fox approached them. He did notice Cliff and Nexusmon, but knew that A.J. would introduce them.

White Fox figured that he would soon learn of Cliff and Nexusmon. White Fox and A.J. greeted, and shook hands.

"Were you successful?" White Fox inquired.

A.J. nodded. "I was, and here's your army tag."

White Fox's eyes widened and his smiled. He took the army tag, and put it around his neck.

"Thanks for retrieving it. I hope you didn't have any trouble in doing so." He wondered.

A.J. understood what he meant. He shook his head.

"Nothing I couldn't handle. White Fox, this is Cliff Ashton and his soul-warrior copedam: Nexusmon. They're friends and... Well, brothers to some degree." He introduced.

Cliff raised an eyebrow, wisely keeping his mouth silent. He did shake hands with White Fox though.

"I see you are busy and tired from... the mission I assigned you. Cliff, why don't you and Nexusmon accompany me in my shelter." White Fox requested.

"We'll be delighted to." Cliff accepted, after an affirmative nod from his soul-warrior.

"Very well. Let's leave A.J. to rest for the night. Besides, you need to know more about me, and I don't seem to know you." White Fox informed.

Cliff chuckled. "Neither do I know you. It'll be a pleasure to share some of my past with you." He accepted.

With that, Cliff; Nexusmon, and White Fox walked away from FCL Star Trail, heading back to White Fox's biovesto shelter. Tired, yet happy to retrieve some of his belongings from Myths Base, A.J. went into his shelter, with Ememon following him. Otazoidmon noticed that A.J. wasn't carrying the imperial suit, and so Otazoidmon quickly retrieved it from the cargo bay of FCL Star Trail. Like A.J., Otazoidmon closed the cargo bay door from outside.

Otazoidmon made sure that his emerald green gem was still hidden in it...

Not only had Otazoidmon retrieved the imperial suit, but had actually changed into it. He was carrying his previous powerful suit. When meeting up with Equalmon and Zonemon, A.J. quickly sent them flashes of what happened in Myths Base, so they would know. He knew that Gallop and Bristle didn't know of the events, because he didn't feel them probing his mind.

"What took you so long though?" Equalmon asked.

"The trip there through FCL Star Trail." A.J. replied.

"Where are you going?" Zonemon asked.

"Retiring for the night." A.J. replied, disappearing from sight.

Both Zonemon and Equalmon had noticed it getting darker outside before, and started to slightly worry about their sailor and fellow soul-warriors. They had fed Lunal and Starspark. By now, Starspark had his eyes open, but he was still young and required much attention. Zonemon took up the responsibility of taking care of Starspark. Otazoidmon entered the room and when both Zonemon and Equalmon saw him, both face-faulted.

"Where did you get that?" Zonemon asked.

"More importantly: how does it fit you?" Equalmon inquired.

Otazoidmon grinned. "We found it at Myths Base. A.J. told me to take it and when I touched it, it shrunk to my size."

Equalmon eyed the powerful suit that made Otazoidmon able to control his techniques in Otazoidmon's hands.

"It's dangerous not to wear the suit." Equalmon informed.

Otazoidmon blinked. "Like I didn't know that! I clearly remember the experience I gained before... Misterim had made this suit for me."

Otazoidmon sighed, taking a seat and staring at his powerful suit. Zonemon and Equalmon took the hint and left, leaving Otazoidmon alone with his thoughts and past memories of him and Misterim. A.J. walked into his room and the biovesto door appeared behind him. A.J. went over to the desk and took off his coin bracelet; army tag, and morph device. He stashed all three in a drawer of his study desk.

He prepared himself for sleep and tucked himself up in his bed, dozing off for the night. Assured of A.J. and his two fellow copedam, Equalmon went to sleep in the soul-warrior bedroom. Ememon was quiet, entering the shelter and went straight to sleep. Zonemon checked up on Lunal and Starspark, finding both asleep in their homes. Satisfied, Zonemon joined his other two fellow copedam and went to sleep in his bed...

"Shadow Owl, Alpha Lion, meet Cliff Ashton and his soul-warrior: Nexusmon. They came back with A.J. from Myths Base." White Fox informed.

Cliff quickly raised his hand, stopping Alpha Lion and Shadow Owl from standing up.

"Now I've seen it all." Cliff frowned.

"Take a seat then." White Fox offered.

Cliff shrugged and took a seat, with Nexusmon taking another. Shadow Owl and Alpha Lion glanced at each other.

'What's his deal?' Alpha Lion thought.

White Fox took his seat.

"You probably have many questions and we have all night." He informed.

Cliff cleared his throat. "Since that's the case, I would like to know how my brother A.J. got such a plane."

"I'm with Cliff on this." Nexusmon agreed.

"Brother?" Shadow Owl asked, turning to White Fox.

White Fox shrugged and turned to Cliff.

"I would assume by what you're saying there is that you're of the same religion as A.J. Very well. This "plane" you mention is really a starship, biovesto starship to be more specific. A.J. named his starship: FCL Star Trail. Biovesto is an organic plant, which when injected with some codelimin data or human blood; the biovesto would only accept the data and blood that is in it." White Fox explained.

Cliff shook his head. "I'm not quite following you."

White Fox blinked, trying to think of a way to rephrase the whole explanation easier to Cliff, without losing its meaning.

"... I think I got it. I know codelimin, and when you said codelimin I assume you were talking about Digimon, have somewhat of a relation with biovesto. If our data mixes with biovesto, or if human DNA mixes with biovesto, then other creatures and beings are considered hostile to it?" Nexusmon asked.

"More or less is right." White Fox agreed.

"I see and where can I find such plants?" Cliff asked.

"Want your own shelter and starship?" Alpha Lion asked.

Cliff shrugged. "Why not? I would prefer a biovesto starship more than a biovesto shelter, but I would still accept shelter. It seems I and Nexusmon are going to stay here for awhile."

"You'll find the plants at the only biovesto farm in Resolve Town. The farm is named "Silverstar Farm", just on the outskirts of Resolve Town and on the closest hill to Resolve Town. The owner of the farm is a Quel'dorei, a high elf, named Ranos Silverstar. Introduce yourselves to him and if it isn't enough, tell him that White Fox had sent you." White Fox nodded.

Cliff stood up. "Thanks for the input. If you'll all excuse me and Nexusmon, we have ourselves a shelter and starship to grow."

"You're excused." White Fox nodded.

Cliff nodded and walked out of White Fox's shelter, followed by Nexusmon.

"Interesting human." Shadow Owl muttered...

Cliff and Nexusmon walked out of Resolve Town and headed towards the nearest hill. They headed towards what appeared to be like some sort of a greenhouse. Cliff and Nexusmon noticed the Quel'dorei, who went by the name of Ranos Silverstar, sitting outside. He had green eyes, just staring up into the sky, with long blond hair, and noticeably his pointed ears. Approaching closer, they saw the sign at the top of the entrance of the greenhouse: "Silverstar Farm".

"May I help you two?" Ranos asked, staring at them.

Cliff quickly stared back at Ranos, and saw curiosity and gentleness in his eyes, as did Nexusmon. Cliff bowed, as did Nexusmon. Ranos raised his eyebrow in inquiry.

"Pardon us, but I'm Cliff Ashton and this is my Digimon partner: Nexusmon. Are you Ranos Silverstar?" Cliff asked.

Ranos nodded. "Are you with A.J. and his little league?" He asked.

"... Well, we did come into Resolve Town, thanks to A.J. bringing us here in his small fighter biovesto starship." Nexusmon replied.

"We were told that you would have young biovesto plants, and we were wondering if we could get some for ourselves, for a shelter for ourselves and for a biovesto starship." Cliff explained.

"Who told you this? Who sent you?" Ranos asked.

"White Fox." Nexusmon replied.

"White Fox?" Ranos asked, muttering.

Suddenly, Ranos smiled and stood up, gently laughing.

"Very well. Welcome into my humble biovesto farm. I'll show you two around, and give you two free biovesto infant plants." Ranos decided.

Cliff smiled. "Thanks. That would be really nice of you."

"Thank you for being generous and friendly." Nexusmon nodded.

Ranos shrugged. "There's no need for me to fear a slave of Allah, much less two, now should I?"

"Uh?" Nexusmon asked, confused.

"How did you know we were Muslim?" Cliff asked.

"For one thing, I said "slave of Allah", not "Muslim", and for another, I have my ways. Besides, I don't want to get on your negative side, because I have some ideas of what you're capable of. Follow me, if you may." Ranos offered, stepping into his greenhouse farm.

Without further words, Cliff and Nexusmon followed their Quel'dorei friend into the biovesto farm...

Zonemon; Ememon; Equalmon, and Otazoidmon all walked into A.J.'s room. Otazoidmon was back in his powerful suit. It had a secret pocket on the inside where Otazoidmon hid his emerald green gem. A.J. was looking around the room for something, looking under the bed; in drawers, and other places. After stepping in, A.J.'s four soul-warrior copedam watched A.J. silently; all of them wearing confused looks. The organic door closed once all of them had stepped in safely.

"What are you looking for?" Equalmon asked, breaking the silence.

"Uh?" A.J. asked, looking out of his closet.

He noticed his soul-warrior copedam staring at him. He blinked, eventually understanding what Equalmon had asked him, since he was too busy to hear the exact words.

"My coin bracelet. Have any of you seen it?" A.J. asked.

"You mean this?" Otazoidmon asked, holding up the coin bracelet in his thumb.

A.J.'s eyes widened and he walked over to Otazoidmon, taking the bracelet out of Otazoidmon's thumb.

"How did you get it?" A.J. asked, staring at Otazoidmon.

"Why is it so important to you?" Zonemon asked.

A.J. remained silent, just staring down at his bracelet, glittering in his hand. A.J. turned his open right hand into fist, which held the bracelet, and A.J. shut his eyes. He subconsciously walked over to his bed, and laid down on his back. He let the bracelet fall out of his hand on to his bed, to his right. With his right hand, he touched his forehead with the back of it. A few moments later, and his soul-warrior copedam noticed a tear appear below A.J.'s right eye.

Otazoidmon; Ememon; Zonemon, and Equalmon, worried for A.J., all tried to enter A.J.'s mind, but A.J. fiercely blocked them out, not letting them in his mind, surprising his soul-warrior copedam, and making them worry even more. Quietly Otazoidmon; Ememon, and Zonemon all took seats at the organic small circular table, while Equalmon stayed by A.J.'s side. He stretched his neck over to A.J.'s face, and it wasn't hard since A.J. was close to the edge, but not too close.

Softly, Equalmon neighed into A.J.'s ear, and nuzzled A.J.'s right cheek, with his own snout. But A.J. refused to budge, with Equalmon only making things worse, or so he thought, as he noticed more tears appearing below both of A.J.'s closed eyes, with A.J.'s tears sliding down their sides, wetting the blanket.

"... Is... He O.K.?" Zonemon asked, worried.

Otazoidmon shook his head. "I don't know. I haven't seen him before like this."

"None of us have seen him like this." Ememon added.

"And I think nobody has ever seen him like this, including Helen and Crescent League." Equalmon whispered.

Zonemon; Otazoidmon; Ememon, and Equalmon all kept their attention on A.J., and eventually heard A.J. sob. Equalmon glanced at A.J.'s chest, and did see it move, as the chest should move when a human cried. A.J. turned to his left, burying his face into the blanket, and started to cry quietly. Memories and images flashed through A.J.'s mind: memories of his past, and images of faces of people he was all too familiar with.

Some tears were able to reach the coin bracelet, and it glowed, catching A.J.'s soul-warrior copedam's attentions. Since A.J.'s face was buried in the blanket, and he was crying, remembering people and memories, he didn't noticed the glow. Otazoidmon; Ememon, and Zonemon all walked over to the bed and stared at the bracelet. Along with Equalmon, they all watched the coin bracelet glow brilliantly dark green, changing.

To what? The copedam weren't sure, but they had to look away. The coin changed from a coin, to a perfectly formed crescent, which was dark green in color, and from the glitter of the crescent, the soul-warrior copedam could tell that the crescent was made of some sort of gem: most likely emerald. Otazoidmon was the first to look back at it, and noticed it. Otazoidmon knew it was emerald because of his own emerald green gem.

He saw that the string was longer, indicating that the bracelet was back into a necklace now, and colored black. Something caught Otazoidmon's eyes from within the crescent, and looking closely, he saw the crest of myths glowing brilliantly within the dark green crescent. It wasn't easy to see, as it was too much small. Only thanks to Otazoidmon's strong eyesight, was he able to notice the crest within the crescent.

"Ammaar." A heavenly voice whispered.

A.J. stopped crying, and turned his head towards the voice. He gasped upon seeing Helen standing to the left side of the bed, in a green silk headscarf, and a green silk dress, which covered her whole feminine body, yet she was glowing in warm brilliant green. A.J.'s soul-warrior copedam noticed her, and stared speechless at her.

"Helen." A.J. whispered, his voice shivering the name out.

It was obvious that Helen wasn't actually there, yet was there. A.J. was fearful of touching her, because he was fearful if he did that she would fade away. A.J. somehow felt that Helen was really there, yet it was her hologram he was staring at. Helen knelt down, and tears softly fell down A.J.'s eyes.

'Does his anguish have anything to do with Helen?' Ememon asked, through telepathy.

'Probably, including other stuff.' Otazoidmon replied.

'But him missing Helen was the most it seems.' Equalmon added.

Helen reached out at A.J.'s eyes, and gently wiped away the tears. A.J. closed his eyes, and remained silent. A.J. felt Helen's hands brush his tears away, and it was weird, because A.J. mentally swore that her touch was the same as he remembered it, from the dream and before.

"Don't cry Ammaar. Look to your right." Helen whispered.

It was strange, but it seemed no matter how loud Helen spoke, it always sounded to A.J. as whispering. He did comply with Helen's request, and looked to his right, noticing not one, but two crescent necklaces. Besides his own emerald myths necklace, there was also another perfect crescent form, colored blue.

"The Crescent of Myths is your crest. It's a divine type; not a dark type. The Crescent of Mulige is mine, and only when you return would I receive it. Take good care of it. You are the Prince of Myths: my Prince of Myths and you always will be my prince." Helen whispered, smiling brightly.

Mystified A.J. touched his necklace, and it glowed brilliant green. He touched Helen's necklace, and it glowed brilliant blue. A.J. glanced back at Helen, and saw her eyes closed, enjoying something. A.J. blinked, confused. Helen opened her eyes and smiled.

"I'll always be with you in your heart and soul my prince. We are one in our soul. With my Crescent of Mulige, and even without it, I'll always be with you. I'm always here for you. Promise me something Ammaar, and promise me that you won't break it, at least not before you come back." Helen whispered, requesting.

"What is it?" A.J. asked, whispering.

"Don't cry." Helen replied.

She suddenly grinned. "Besides I won't want to miss anything new that happens to you after all this is over."

A.J. chuckled, sniffing the rest of his tears away.

'That's the Heba I know.' He thought, smiling brightly.

Helen nodded. "Don't forget my prince."

"I won't Heba." A.J. whispered.

With that, Helen faded away, and to A.J.'s and his soul-warrior copedam's shock, the three mysterious charges appeared in Helen's place, and returned to his univice.

"... What just happened?" Equalmon asked, after moments of silence.

A.J. sat up in his bed, and glanced at his univice, noticing it glimmering. He shook his head.

"I don't know, but it seems that the mysterious charges did that." A.J. replied.

"You mean they combined together to form a hologram of Helen?" Zonemon asked.

"Are you saying that wasn't Helen?" Ememon asked.

Otazoidmon shook his head. "No, that was really Helen. I have no idea though how she was capable of doing that."

"As for the first question, I guess so. But it seems it's only a once in the lifetime thing." A.J. stated.

"Are you going to keep your promise?" Zonemon asked, grinning.

A.J. narrowed his eyes. "You bet ya."

Staring at his biovesto closet, A.J. got off of his bed and went over to it, with the necklaces still in his hands. Suddenly stopping, an idea came to A.J., and he turned around. Without saying a word, A.J. just stared at his four gathered soul-warrior copedam for a few moments, and then went back towards the closet. Not being able to enter his mind, his soul-warrior copedam were confused of A.J.'s sudden weird behavior.

Knowing his soul-warrior copedam's confusion, A.J. ignored it and took out his sentinel bag. It only had one shoulder strap, and was made of biovesto, with the natural colors of black and green apparent. It was the first time the soul-warriors saw it since before the Paladin of Darkness crashed in Dune Desert. Meric Land's flag was apparent on the forehead center front of the bag, with the outlined name of 'Prince of Myths' below the flag, and centered.

A.J. put Helen's Crescent of Mulige on a biovesto hook on the right side of the bag, with the hook closing around the necklace's string, securing it. Next A.J. put his own necklace down on the ground and took out some clothes from his closet. Curious, his soul-warrior copedam went over to the closet for a better look, and saw that there was a whole black and dark green wardrobe in it, but with numerous selective designs on selective clothes.

Every type of clothing was there, including silk clothes; cotton clothes; leather clothes; shirts; t-shirts; socks; underwear; shoes; jackets; hats; capes; caps; mittens, and not to mention gloves. A.J. turned to his soul-warrior copedam, and gave them a certain look, which his soul-warrior copedam understood. Without any protest, or without any word, the soul-warrior copedam complied, and left A.J.'s room, with the biovesto door closing behind them.

Satisfied, A.J. changed his clothes completely. After taking off all his clothes, he quickly chose what he wanted to wear, and hastily put them all on. Once done, A.J. glanced at himself in the mirror inside the closet. He was wearing dark green sport shoes, with black shoelaces. He wore dark green socks, and black bland shorts, which had a band type of belt, which held the shorts secure around A.J.'s waist and down close to his knees.

He wore a dark green t-shirt, which had an outline of a black owl with its wings spread slightly on the whole length of the back. In the front, the owl was outlined in black and small, soaring downwards. Around his hands, A.J. wore fingerless dark green leather gloves, with the right glove covering his univice, and not harming it. With his changing done, A.J. put the clothes he took off back into the closet, on its floor. He picked up his sentinel bag and put it around his back.

Next was the necklace, as A.J. picked it up and put it around his neck, letting it dangle in the open. A.J. closed the closet doors, and stepped over to his biovesto desk. He opened one of the drawers the desk had, and took out his tags. He noticed that they weren't tags anymore, but some sort of identification card, with a black background; a green emerald frame around it, and the information outlined in green emerald.

A.J. noticed that he was named "Prince of Myths", and his name: "A.J. Actonal", wasn't present on the card. A.J. shrugged, and put it in a lower side pocket of his bag. He closed the drawer door, made his bed, noticing that his blanket was clean once again, with no indication that tears ever fell onto it. Once done making his bed, A.J. nodded and left his room, only to find his soul-warrior copedam waiting outside.

For a few moments, all of them were silent, with A.J. allowing his soul-warrior copedam to swallow in the new look A.J. had put on.

"... Nice look A.J. We have some questions to ask you." Equalmon started, breaking the silence.

A.J. nodded. "We'll talk in the living room."

With that, A.J. took the lead towards the living room, and took a seat, taking off his sentinel bag and putting it beside him on the biovesto couch. His soul-warrior copedam followed him into the room, and took whatever seats were comfortable and appropriate for them. A.J. folded his arms.

"Fire away." A.J. nodded.

"I've been wondering this since we came back from that underground base. Are you planning to join Cliff and Nexusmon to Crescent League?" Ememon asked.

"I've been considering it." A.J. replied.

"How about how do they return with us?" Equalmon asked.

"Return with us?" A.J. repeated.

"You know as well as we do that our stay here won't last forever, much less that we're actually here." Equalmon reminded.

A.J. blinked, and considered what Equalmon reminded him. A.J. understood that Feranin League won't stay in the Realm of Charges forever, and that they will eventually return, but to where? A.J. wasn't sure. However, A.J. did understand what Equalmon meant. From his dream in the school with Helen, he understood from Helen that he was physically still in Meric Land unconscious, which brought up other questions.

Like were the events occurring in the Realm of Charges part of reality or not? If they weren't, then Misterim wasn't dead. But if they were part of reality, how could Feranin League be in two places at once, in the physical form? One thing was for sure, A.J. wanted so much to be back in Meric Land with Helen and Crescent League once more, but he knew that wasn't to happen anytime soon.

A.J. returned to Equalmon's question: How would Cliff; Nexusmon; Mamigrol, and even maybe White Hulman return with them to Meric Land? If Mamigrol and White Hulman were to join Feranin League, they would also have to join Crescent League. As for Cliff and Nexusmon to join Crescent League, they would have to return to Meric Land with them, but how would it happen?

One thing A.J. was sure of: he had to give out detailed locations in Meric Land to Mamigrol; White Hulman; Cliff, and Nexusmon. If the Trio of Resolve did leave the Realm of Charges back to their own home world, A.J. would initiate that subject with Mamigrol; White Hulman; Cliff, and Nexusmon, about joining Crescent League, and for Mamigrol and White Hulman, to also join Feranin League.

He decided only then he would give detailed locations of Meric Land to them, so if they did return with A.J. and Feranin League to Meric Land, they would know they were in Meric Land, and also their precise location. Not to mention tell Actonal Army all about it. A.J. didn't mind it, because he knew when he talked with Feranimon again some time, that Feranimon would have the word be spread around the army.

There was only one answer to Equalmon's question, and A.J. knew what it was.

"I honestly don't have an idea about that. We'll just have to wait and see." A.J. replied.

"Do you have any idea what would happen to us if we got injured here?" Zonemon asked.

A.J. raised an eyebrow. "Probably if the injury was to turn into a scar, it would appear on our physical unconscious forms. If we were to die... I don't know. Our physical unconscious bodies might die with us, or we might wake up. If the injury won't turn into a scar, then it would never appear on our physical unconscious forms."

"Do you have any ideas about ruling Algeria when you return?" Otazoidmon asked.

A.J. nodded. "Depending on how events go, and if Allah wills it, yes, I do have some thoughts on that."

"Care to share with us?" Ememon inquired.

A.J. sighed. "For one thing, I know that Faith of Algeria is only in the south, and the north is somewhat more hostile. I'll have to deal with that first, dealing with internal affairs, and closing down unlawful places in all of Algeria. Once down with the internal affairs in Algeria itself, I would go foreign and withdraw Algeria from the United Nations, and other global organizations that's it's in. Before engaging in the internal northern affairs, I would deal with planting biovesto farms in the south."

Ememon's eyes widened. "No way!"

"If you plant biovesto farms in the south in Algeria, coming from plants in Meric Land, then... wow!" Equalmon whispered.

"Yep. We'd be better able to deal with the north unrest more efficiently and successfully. Anyway, after withdrawing Algeria out of the global organizations it is in, with biovesto, it would become dependent on itself, and the oil that Algeria has would be used only for Algeria, and not a drop would be exported to anywhere. I know of an oil pipeline that connects Libya; Tunisia, and Algeria together. That pipeline would somewhat be sabotaged.

"Becoming dependent on itself means being isolated, and God willing, the most secure country and God fearing country in the whole world. An Islamic movement or party that is God fearing is one thing, but a country that is God fearing? Well, let's just say the Islamic revival has begun, and the enemies of Allah would have something to truly fear. The Algerian military, in all its sections: army; star fleet, and navy fleet would have biovesto technology one way or another.

"I meant star fleet, because biovesto starships can enter space and invade space. The navy would basically be submarine fleets, but there would be some surface fleets. Of course the Algerian navy won't become reality until the north is part of Faith of Algeria. Then... Algeria would speak up and broadcast the Truth, and those who believe, good for them, as for those who don't believe, too bad." A.J. shrugged.

"The enemies of Islam and of Allah would not be feared by Algeria at the beginning, but just maybe angered. Anyway, I thought you already led all of Algeria?" Zonemon asked.

"Are you saying there are two governments in Algeria?" Equalmon asked.

"Like I said before: Faith of Algeria is the south of Algeria, not including the north, where it has more residents and is more populated, being near the Mediterranean. So I only lead Faith of Algeria, not Democratic and Popular Republic of Algeria. Algeria would become an Islamic country totally then, and not Republic anymore. As for the two governments... well, yes there are two as far as I know." A.J. explained.

"If you know so much of Algeria, does it have an independence day?" Otazoidmon asked.

A.J. nodded. "5th of July 1962 from France. The national holiday is on the 1st of November 1954, which is the anniversary of the revolution against France I think."

"Do you have any idea how many global organizations Algeria is in?" Ememon asked.

"I read such information about Algeria after I became viceroy... I'll have to say, Algeria is a member of many global organizations, if not all of them. To name some, are the United Nations; IAEA; INTERPOL; WHO; AL, and many others. I'll have to say it's going to take some time withdrawing from all the global organization it is part of." A.J. replied.

"Any ideas on executive branches?" Equalmon asked.

"Well, president; prime minister, and the cabinet, which is named Council of Ministers. That is definitely going to change, since the highest executive branch would be viceroy." A.J. grinned.

"No kidding." Ememon chuckled.

"What about the legislative branch?" Equalmon asked.

"Such questions we'll leave to Equalmon." Zonemon whispered.

"Definitely." Otazoidmon agreed, and Ememon only nodded.

A.J. raised his eyebrow. "I'm the viceroy; such questions are child's play for me. But to answer it, it's the unicameral National People's Assembly, in English terms, but in Arabic, it's Al-Majlis Eshaabi Al-Watani. If you don't believe me, check up for yourself."

"I don't need to; I believe you, and trust you." Equalmon smiled.

"Are we done with questions?" A.J. asked.

"Not yet." Otazoidmon hastily replied.

Equalmon nodded. "I still have more questions about Algeria... Do know anything of the leaders of Algeria?"

"Easy. A.J. answered that question before." Zonemon stated.

A.J. shook his head. "That question was "any ideas on executive branches?". Equalmon asked a totally different question this time. The answer is the Chief of State, who is the Chairman of the High State Council usually. And there is also the Head of Government, which is the Prime Minister."

"Oh." Zonemon muttered.

"I have a question... can you elaborate more on the biovesto stuff?" Ememon asked.

"I knew that question was coming. From what I have observed and understand of biovesto, a biovesto cycle exists, like the water cycle. All of you know of the water cycle, right?" A.J. asked.

Ememon nodded his head.

"Silly question." Zonemon muttered.

"I'm aware of it." Equalmon replied.

"Most humans know about it, and for some of us, we studied such things in Earth after the rescue journey." Otazoidmon explained.

"Good. That means I don't need to explain the water cycle. As for the biovesto cycle... Hold on a moment; I need to go get some documents on that. After all, it can't just be memorized, and I want to do it in the right order." A.J. decided.

He got up, and left the room, returning a few moments later, carrying a folder in his hand. He put down the folder on the table, and returned to his seat on the biovesto couch, beside his sentinel bag.

"What's this?" Equalmon asked.

"The detailed explanation of the biovesto cycle. Want me to read it for you guys, or do you want to read it to yourselves now?" A.J. asked.

"It's better of you do, because then we'll all hear." Otazoidmon decided.

"Very well." A.J. nodded, picking up the folder and opening it.

He read to them the contents of the folder, explaining the biovesto cycle. Otazoidmon; Ememon; Zonemon, and Equalmon all listened silently, without interrupting A.J. once. Once A.J. was done, he closed the folder and put it down.

"That was interesting." Zonemon spoke.

"Tell me about it. Since biovesto is organic, because it's organic helps in its cycle." Equalmon agreed.

"Any other questions?" A.J. asked.

"Not on my side." Otazoidmon shook his head.

"None here." Zonemon informed.

"Nothing at the moment." Ememon added.

"I don't have any other questions for now." Equalmon agreed.

A.J. nodded, and stood up. He grabbed the biovesto cycle folder and left the room. Before he returned, Otazoidmon was the first to sense a presence behind him, and he was the first to turn around, followed by Zonemon; Ememon, and Equalmon.

"It's just you Shadow Owl." Ememon sighed.

Just then, A.J. appeared in the room. Upon noticing A.J., Shadow Owl raised an eyebrow.

"New look?" Shadow Owl asked.

"Wa Alaikum Assalam to you too. Yes, I just started wearing this a few moments ago. What is it?" A.J. asked.

Shadow Owl eyed A.J.'s necklace, but remained silent about it.

"I just want to inform you that I have the intention to explain the rest of "The Assignment". Alpha Lion; White Fox, and Cliff are all at White Fox's home. Shall we wait for you?" Shadow Owl asked.

A.J. nodded. "Yes. I'll be there in awhile."

Shadow Owl bowed, leaving Feranin League's home.

"That guy is creepy." Zonemon muttered.

"Can we come with you?" Ememon asked.

"'May we come with you?' Is the correct form. I won't answer until you say it right." A.J. grinned.

Ememon grunted. "Fine! May we come with you?"

A.J. laughed. "No. I'm going alone, and don't even think of probing my mind to listen in the story!"

"Wasn't thinking of it." Otazoidmon stated, with his arms folded and his eyes closed.

"Not him at least." Zonemon muttered.

"I'm going there now. If I do come back afterward, I'll tell you all everything." A.J. promised, leaving Feranin League's shelter...

"So you made it, eh brother?" Cliff asked, not turning around.

A.J. shrugged, walking into White Fox's living room. He took a seat with the rest.

"Where are your soul-warriors?" White Fox asked.

"They asked if they could come with me, but I refused." A.J. replied.

"Before Shadow Owl starts, just what did Misterim teach you?" White Fox asked.

"Cooking and dancing basically." A.J. replied.

"No lessons on electronics?" White Fox inquired.

A.J. shook his head. "No. Did Misterim know about electronics?" He asked.

"He sure did." Cliff muttered.

"I know of someone here in Resolve who can teach you about electronics. She herself is excellent in it, and is the best in all of the Realm of Charges, coming in after Misterim, but since Misterim is now deceased, she's #1 here in the Realm of Charges." White Fox explained.

"She?" A.J. and Cliff both inquired in unison.

White Fox nodded. "Yes. She's a female gnome and her name is Tanumia. I only know her by the first name, but she's well-known in Resolve."

"I might go to her later on." A.J. whispered.

"Also, she has an Elven assistant, female also, who gathers information and gains, or retrieves, devices for Tanumia to study. Her assistant's name is Sadenre Windrunner." White Fox informed.

"May we get back to "The Assignment" please?" Shadow Owl asked.

"Of course." White Fox chuckled.

"I'll leave all the story-telling to you Shadow Owl." Alpha Lion decided, folding his arms.

"Better." Shadow Owl nodded.

Without Alpha Lion or White Fox interrupting, Shadow Owl explained the rest of "The Assignment" to the occupants in the room without disturbance. He explained of the hardships he and Alpha Lion went through in the planets of enemy space, and in enemy space itself, with the enemy starships turning hostile on them. Shadow Owl and Alpha Lion were always wise enough to avoid any hostile confrontation during their assignment.

After many searches through numerous planets of their enemies, when Shadow Owl and Alpha Lion had thought White Fox had died, Shadow Owl and Alpha Lion were relaxing in an enemy alien bar on some planet, when an alien approached them, who wasn't really an enemy. The alien took Shadow Owl and Alpha Lion to a private location where the three of them were alone.

The alien explained then that White Fox was very much alive, but he vanished to another part of the universe. Shadow Owl and Alpha Lion asked where and for directions. The alien told them, and walked away, but not before telling them that the three of them would meet again. With destinations in mind, both Shadow Owl and Alpha Lion returned to their starships and took to space.

For days, they sailed through space without any luck, but eventually some weird green wormhole appeared, and before Shadow Owl or Alpha Lion knew it, Shadow Glide and Dusk Predator were sucked into the green wormhole, without Shadow Owl or Alpha Lion capable of doing anything.

"... The next thing we knew was waking up here, with our starships out of sight. We searched for them, but no luck. The rest is irrelevant, since you all know it." Shadow Owl finished.

"I don't." Cliff retorted.

"I'll tell it to you later." A.J. hastily decided.

Cliff nodded.

"How did it go with Ranos?" White Fox asked.

Cliff smiled. "Absolutely splendid. Our own shelter is growing now and so is our starship."

"Ranos?" A.J. asked.

"Ranos Silverstar. He's a Quel'dorei friend of mine who owns the only biovesto farm in town." White Fox replied.

"Oh." A.J. blinked.

"If you want any biovesto plants to bring back with you, Ranos is your elf. He said to tell you when I saw you that you and Feranin League are welcome any time in his farm, and that he'll give you as much of the young biovesto plants as you want and/or need." Cliff stated.

"I see. He seems like a nice fellow." A.J. muttered.

"He is! You know, we didn't tell him that we were slaves of Allah, yet he still knew!" Cliff exclaimed.

White Fox grinned. "Not surprising on my part. That's Ranos alright."

'I might have to be cautious around him. He might be able to actually help me on this. He could be my elf who would help me with getting biovesto plants, and bringing them to Faith of Algeria.' A.J. thought.

A.J. stood up. "I'll take my leave now. I need to go see this Tanumia. Out of curiosity, just where is her store?"

"You'll know it when you see it." White Fox replied.

A.J. huffed, and nodded. He left White Fox's home, heading back to his own, to pick up his four soul-warrior copedam to bring along with him to Tanumia's Electronic Store...

As A.J. got back home, he knew none of his soul-warrior copedam tried to probe his mind and listen in, so they didn't know anything. Once A.J. told them everything, he found out that they knew about Tanumia and her store. So with Ememon taking the lead, Feranin League, minus Lunal and Starspark, left Feranin League's home and headed towards Tanumia's Electronic Store.

The organic door gently opened and Tanumia looked up at who arrived. She smiled recognizing Feranin League, noticing that some members were absent and a new face was present. A.J. was the last to enter, and the organic door closed behind him. He looked upon Tanumia, and noticed that she indeed was a gnome. Her eyes were sparkling green emerald, and her short blond hair was curly.

Tanumia concluded that the new face was A.J.: the sailor of his soul-warriors. In her opinion, she was attracted to him, but she dare didn't say that to A.J.'s face, since he might have already had a soul mate and sweetheart back in Meric Land. Ememon and Otazoidmon babbled too much for their own good, and that was how Tanumia knew of A.J. and Meric Land.

However, Tanumia did question Ememon and Otazoidmon about A.J.'s sweetheart, but Ememon and Otazoidmon refused to budge, and so Tanumia didn't know anything about her, much less if A.J. did have one. But looking at him now, it would be a shame if he didn't have a sweetheart back in his world, and Tanumia decided that he had one for sure. She walked out from behind the counter to greet Ememon and Otazoidmon.

She had only spoken with Ememon and Otazoidmon, but had met Equalmon; Zonemon, and Lunal. Speaking of Lunal, Tanumia realized that Lunal was missing, and concluded that he was back at Feranin League's home.

"Welcome back Prince and Comet." Tanumia greeted, shaking hands with Ememon and Otazoidmon.

She silently nodded to Equalmon and Zonemon, who nodded in return.

"Tanumia, we have some one who we'd like you to meet." Otazoidmon started.

Tanumia only nodded, staring at A.J. Being uneasy under her stare, A.J. shuffled a bit uncomfortable in his position.

"This is A.J. Actonal: our sailor; Feranin of Crescent League, and Viceroy of Faith of Algeria at the moment." Ememon added.

That was right, Tanumia also knew about all that. The only thing she didn't know about was about A.J.'s sweetheart, which was a mystery to Tanumia. A.J. chuckled nervously at the way Ememon addressed him. Noticing a slight lump on his right hand, Tanumia knew that A.J. was wearing a univice. She was curious about the device, since it was in her field.

"... May I see your univice?" Tanumia inquired.

A.J. blinked, and glanced down at his right gloved hand. He shrugged at Tanumia and took off his right glove. Tanumia saw the univice exposed and nodded. She motioned A.J. to follow her. Tanumia went behind the counter, and A.J. stopped in front of her, on the opposite side of the counter. He laid his right hand down on the counter. Tanumia took out some device.

"Were you ever able to take it off?" Tanumia asked.

"Not that I remember." A.J. replied.

"I see. Well, you can. Just think of having it being detached from your nervous system." Tanumia suggested.

A.J. raised an eyebrow in inquiry, in amazement at Tanumia's knowledge, yet told as she suggested. He thought of his univice being detached from his nervous system, and indeed the univice detached itself painlessly, falling onto the biovesto counter, on its bottom. A.J.'s eyes widened in surprise, and for a few moments was completely speechless, and frozen in place.

Ememon; Otazoidmon; Equalmon, and Zonemon all watched, and were speechless themselves. Tanumia tapped the univice's screen with her own device that she took out, and hastily withdrew it, but Tanumia's theory was confirmed. Though her move was fast, the univice still reacted in a hostile way towards her, and released a slight jolt of electricity up the device. Tanumia felt it, but wasn't harmed much. She was a bit shaken, but not harmed.

"Windrunner!" She yelled.

"You called?" An elf asked, appeared at the other open organic doorway.

She noticed A.J. and his four soul-warrior copedam. She had met them in the past, and she knew who A.J. was even though it was the first time she had seen him personally. She was wearing a green ranger uniform, with a green hood over her head. She had green eyes, and her hair was blond; smooth, and long. On her shoulders were a quiver of arrows and a bow, while around her waist was a sheath with some sort of blade in it. She was taller than Tanumia.

"I see you have guests. Greetings once again Ememon; Otazoidmon; Zonemon, and Equalmon. I'd say that you're A.J.: their sailor. I'm Sadenre Windrunner: Tanumia's assistant." Sadenre greeted.

"Pleasure to see you again Sadenre." Zonemon nodded.

Ememon's head was lowered, and he only nodded his head. Otazoidmon glanced at Sadenre and nodded in acknowledgment of her presence. Like Ememon, Equalmon's head was lowered, and he slightly neighed in greeting. Sadenre noticed all their reactions, including A.J.'s, who didn't glance at her, yet didn't lower his head.

"Nice to meet you ma'am." A.J. finally greeted.

Sadenre smiled. "You wanted something Tanumia?"

"Just to give you this. You know how to extract hardware information from it?" Tanumia asked, nodding towards the univice.

It was only then that Sadenre noticed the univice on the biovesto counter. She gasped, approaching Tanumia's side.

"Is that what I think it is?" Sadenre asked.

"It sure is. It's A.J.'s univice alright." Tanumia replied.

Sadenre glanced at Tanumia. "Did you test it?"

Tanumia nodded. "Yeah and it was what I expected."

Sadenre snorted. "If it was what you expected, then how do you expect me to touch it?"

Tanumia sweat-dropped. "Of course... I forgot about that."

"Sometimes I just don't understand you Tanumia." Sadenre remarked, shaking her head.

"Same here Sadenre." Tanumia smiled.

"They did this before." Zonemon stated.

Sadenre and Tanumia realized that they still had guests, and both sweat-dropped, realizing that they went too deep into their own conversation.

"Um... You can have your univice back A.J., since we won't be able to do anymore physical tests on it, since it won't allow us. Is there something I can do for you?" Tanumia asked, staring at A.J.

A.J. grabbed his univice again, and reattached it back on his right hand. Once done, he put back his glove on it, covering the univice.

"Actually there is." A.J. replied, glancing at the ground.

He raised his head.

"What is it?" Tanumia asked, whispering.

Sadenre understood Tanumia and rolled her eyes in amusement.

"I understand that you're the best electrician here, so I was advised to take some electrician lessons from you." A.J. replied.

Tanumia's eyes widened, and she gasped.

"I-I... Ahm... I mean I know and understand electronics." Tanumia modestly informed.

Understanding that Tanumia was attracted to him, A.J. grinned, finding amusement in the situation, but he restrained himself from even thinking of using Tanumia's feelings, because one way or another he would be betraying Helen, and so he decided against.

"So would you teach me... teach?" A.J. asked.

Tanumia's cheeks reddened and she shyly lowered her head.

"I'd love... I mean it would be my pleasure." Tanumia replied.

"The necklace. How did you get it?" Sadenre asked, noticing A.J.'s necklace.

Tanumia's trance on A.J. lifted and she noticed the necklace around A.J.'s neck.

"It could help us even further." Tanumia muttered.

"Just what I was thinking." Sadenre agreed.

"Help you? How?" A.J. asked.

"Your fellow soul-warrior copedam don't know about it either yet. But follow us." Sadenre decided.

Tanumia took the lead, with Sadenre behind her, making sure that A.J. and his soul-warrior copedam followed her. A.J. and his soul-warriors did follow Sadenre, and they all entered a large biovesto elevator, with enough room for more objects, or creatures. Tanumia pressed a button on the elevator control panel, and the elevator moved downwards. A.J. kept his back supported on the back of the elevator, with his soul-warrior copedam close by him.

A.J. breathed deeply, closing his eyes for a few moments, until the elevator eventually stopped. The biovesto gate opened up. Sadenre glanced behind her.

"We're here. There's something that you might be interested in that we have." Sadenre explained.

Tanumia was the first to step off, followed by Sadenre. A.J. was the last to leave the biovesto elevator, which closed its gates behind him. A.J. entered what appeared to be a huge warehouse.

"We're deep underground now. Tanumia's Electronic Store is the only biovesto shelter that has underground rooms, or in this case, warehouses. It's the only shelter in all of Resolve that has an underground basement. This isn't the only room here." Sadenre informed.

Tanumia was staring at something, and Sadenre was beside her. A.J. stopped some distance away from Tanumia, yet on the same line, while his soul-warrior copedam stopped to his left. A.J. and his soul-warrior copedam were totally in awe, and completely speechless, staring wide-eyed at the large device in front of them. The device appeared to be some sort of stargate, but instead of being metallic silver, it was emerald green.

A.J. noticed the symbols on the frame, and recognized them as being the genuine native words of Twilasin. A.J. took a few steps forward, taking a closer look at the symbols. There was ledges under the gate, which kept it in place. Otazoidmon was the only one aware to notice that A.J. was ahead of them. Getting a closer look at the gate, A.J. was able to mentally read the symbols, being 7 in all.

'Faith; unity; peace; patience; discipline; myths; miracles.' A.J. thought.

A.J.'s necklace was above his shirt, and it was exposed in the open. It suddenly glowed in an intense green light, with everyone there noticing it. A.J. turned around to see his soul-warrior copedam, and barely gasped noticing other figures around them and behind them. A.J. recognized some of the figures, with all of them being holographic, while others were too blurry for A.J. to recognize. He concluded that because he didn't know them, they were blurry.

As for A.J.'s soul-warrior copedam, and Sadenre and Tanumia, they also noticed figures around A.J., which were holographic. None of them were familiar to Sadenre or Tanumia, but a few were familiar to his soul-warrior copedam, as none of them were blurry.

"A.J., there are holograms around you." Equalmon whispered.

"As there are around you guys." A.J. whispered.

"... O.K. Now this is creepy." Tanumia remarked.

Sadenre chuckled. "Of course it would be, since it isn't part of your field."

"The gate." Ememon whispered, turning everyone's attention back to the gate.

The gate's symbols were glowing, and the inner frame was moving in a circular motion, counter clockwise, as the outer frame had the symbols. A.J.; Tanumia; Sadenre, and A.J.'s soul-warrior copedam watched in anticipation, while A.J.'s necklace remained glowing all that time, with A.J.'s univice also starting to glow intensely in a green color, but was unnoticed since it was covered by A.J.'s glove...

Previously on Storms of Myths:

Prince online. A.J. has finally gained some rest. Indeed, the day has been full of revelations: With Shadow Owl telling A.J. and White Fox the first part of his and Alpha Lion's tale. Shadow Owl finished up with the Nova Alliance history lesson and both A.J. and the two Anihulmans shared informative information with each other. When A.J. was listening to Shadow Owl, I and my fellow copedam were too busy to listen, acquainting ourselves with the populace of Resolve Town. Hopefully, this episode would shed light onto some of the populace of the town. A.J. met Mamigrol near FCL Star Trail and found out more interesting information about Misterim. A.J. leaves Resolve Town with us and Lunal, heading into the Forest of Mist. We eventually find the charges, with help from Lunal, and no thanks to Alpha Lion, who reveals his previous intentions to A.J. Being the forgiving person he is, A.J. forgave him and he's going to join us, returning back to Resolve Town. A few new characters and species appear for the first time, or are mentioned for the first time, in the previous episode. Are the revelations over for the day, or are there more revelations to be discovered? On with the conclusion...

The walk back to Resolve Town was tiring for both Feranin League and Alpha Lion. Once leaving the Forest of Mist, Lunal returned to his spot on A.J.'s right shoulder, where he stayed until Feranin League reached their biovesto cabin. Alpha Lion separated from them in the town, heading towards his and Shadow Owl's own biovesto shelter. Not wanting to have anymore activities for the day, A.J. went into his bedroom and went to sleep.

Like their sailor, the four copedam and one indidam were exhausted from the walk. Lunal might have perched himself on A.J.'s shoulder before reaching the forest and after departing it, but like the others, he was tired. He not only flew through the forest single-handedly, staying close to A.J. and Feranin League, but also talked with a Skyring couple to give up a few of their eggs, which were charges and Lunal had to explain that to them.

There were other eggs for the Skyring couple. Feranin League slept for the rest of the day and for the whole night...

The next day came quickly enough and A.J. opened his eyes. Almost immediately, he felt White Fox waiting for him. From what A.J. could tell, White Fox had something urgent to tell him, but there was also the sense of patience. A.J. quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom and freshened himself up. Once done, he went to the diner room and met up with White Fox.

"... What is it?" A.J. asked.

White Fox sighed. "You came back late yesterday, yet you were too tired to speak with me. No matter. I hope you're energized for another go. Remember what you told me about my 'army tag'?"

A.J. nodded. "Yeah. It's back at Misterim's underground home."

"Well, I need you and Feranin League to head back, take it and bring it back to me... You see, Trio of Resolve is leaving the Realm of Charges in a few days and our biovesto peckers are almost ready. When they are, we'll all pack and leave the Realm of Charges, create a portal and head back to our dimension and space. That's why I need my army tag." White Fox explained.

"What about White Hulman? What have you decided about him?" A.J. asked.

"He'll stay here and do what he wants. If he would want to join Feranin League... that returns to him." White Fox replied.

"Very well. Did you have any breakfast?" A.J. asked.

White Fox smiled sheepishly and A.J. sweat-dropped.

"Excuse me. I'll go get some stuff for us." He decided, excusing himself.

While talking with White Fox, A.J. felt four minds probing his own mind, listening on the conversation. The soul-warriors were all having their breakfasts in the kitchen this time. Otazoidmon was having oatmeal and the rest were having donuts. A.J. got himself a cup of apple juice and drunk it. He had two other cups, satisfying his thirst. He got himself a bowl of donuts and another bowl of donuts for White Fox.

"Since the four of you heard, who wants to come?" A.J. asked.

"You chose. But I want to come." Ememon informed.

"Me too." Otazoidmon decided.

"Count me out." Zonemon shook his head.

"Me too." Equalmon agreed.

A.J. sighed. "Very well. While we're gone Zonemon, you'll feed Lunal and Starspark." He decided.

Zonemon shrugged. "Fine with me."

"How are we going to get back?" Otazoidmon asked.

"Not through AJmon." Ememon refused.

A.J. chuckled. "Don't worry Prince; I wasn't thinking of AJmon. We could... no, would use FCL Star Trail and I'll be the first to pilot it."

Ememon sighed. "We're coming with you on FCL Star Trail, right?" He asked.

"You bet ya." A.J. replied.

A.J. left the kitchen with both bowls of donuts and took a seat near White Fox. He gave White Fox his bowl and sat his own bowl down. White Fox took a donut and started eating it.

"Want something to drink with it?" A.J. asked.

White Fox shook his head. "No need. I had something to drink before I came."

A.J. picked up a donut and started eating it. White Fox finished his and licked his lips.

"Umm... That was good. So? What is your decision?" He asked.

A.J. swallowed the food he had in his mouth and nodded his head.

"We're going. Comet and Prince are coming with me, but the rest are staying. We're going to use FCL Star Trail to go there and come back." He explained.

White Fox nodded. "Good idea. For use of your biovesto pecker, and at a right time for a right cause." He agreed.

Both A.J. and White Fox finished their donuts in silence. Once done with his donuts, White Fox excused himself and left Feranin League's biovesto shelter. A.J. finished up his donuts, took both bowls and brought them into the kitchen.

"Yella Prince and Comet, let's go." A.J. decided.

"The earlier the better." Ememon sighed.

'Besides, I have something I need to tell you A.J.' Otazoidmon thought.

A.J. blinked, but shrugged it off. He knew he only heard Otazoidmon's thought. He took the lead and left the biovesto shelter, with Ememon and Otazoidmon not far behind. A.J. opened up the cargo gate and it came down. A.J. and his two soul-warrior copedam walked in and Ememon closed the cargo gate behind him. A.J. walked into the cockpit and both his soul-warrior copedam followed him.

At the front center was a single biovesto seat and biovesto helmets were hanging and tangling from the ceiling of the pecker's cockpit. A.J. went to the front center seat and Ememon took the seat to the right, behind A.J., and Otazoidmon took the seat to the left, behind A.J. The cockpit had one row of seats, both being behind the front center seat. All the seats were organic biovesto. The thin biovesto was in front of A.J., in his eyesight when he sat down.

The rest of the cockpit was of normal organic biovesto. The lights were natural coming from the biovesto. It was the first time A.J. would pilot such a starship, but he knew how. Upon sitting down, the seat the three all sat on pulled them backwards and biovesto came out from the seat and completely covered the three. At first, A.J. and his two soul-warriors were scared, but then the biovesto assured them somehow that the biovesto was necessary.

Using A.J.'s mind, the biovesto compared what it did with seatbelts, to protect the pilot and passengers from any atmosphere hostility. Only the faces showed and the biovesto helmets came down on the three, covering their heads. Instantly, A.J. and his two soul-warriors were connected internally to the biovesto starship. What it felt, they felt; what it saw they saw, etc. A.J. quickly realized to use his mind mentally, or more specifically telepathy, to pilot the starship, through thoughts...

Piloting a biovesto starship, which was living, much less piloting it through telepathy was an extraordinary experience. A.J. was glad that he would be able to keep FCL Star Trail. At first, it was hard for him to pilot it. He might have had ideas on how to pilot it, but he sometimes had his mind space out and explore his imagination. The result was the biovesto losing control, one way or another. It would either go into a crash dive, or would aimlessly spin around the same location.

Since Ememon was a born air codelimin and soul-warrior copedam, when A.J. lost control of FCL Star Trail, Ememon regained control. A.J. eventually learned from close death incidents that he should keep his mind focused. He liked the idea and liked piloting FCL Star Trail, and Ememon was good help. When A.J. checked on Otazoidmon, he wasn't there. A.J. beckoned Ememon to go and check on Otazoidmon.

"You won't crash dive it or anything?" Ememon asked.

A.J. chuckled. "I've learnt my lesson there. I'll keep focused." He promised.

Ememon nodded and the biovesto safety mechanism detached itself from Ememon, freeing him. Ememon left the cockpit and a few short moments returned. A.J. kept silent, allowing Ememon to be the first to speak.

"He seems to be tired." Ememon informed.

He took his seat again and the biovesto reattached itself on him. A.J. quickly opened up his mind towards Otazoidmon and sensed him sleeping in the cargo bay. Knowing that his copedam was safe and unharmed, A.J. quickly resumed piloting his organic biovesto pecker. A.J. started to think of its many other capabilities and he wanted to test out its defense and its weaponry. A.J. quickly dismissed such thoughts, as he knew there would be a time to test such things.

Since after all, he would most likely be able to have FCL Star Trail back in Meric Land, much less Earth in his dimension. A.J. considered Meric Land to be his homeland. It was a positive thing that Otazoidmon was resting, as the trip was boringly long to Myths Mosque. Besides, it was a quicker way for Otazoidmon to avoid thinking or telling what he had to tell A.J., during the trip.

FCL Star Trail passed over Dune Desert and A.J. barely noticed the Oasis of Deepness and the crash-wreck of his previous starship. A.J. was momentarily surprised to see the wreck still existed and he guessed that it would become something like ruins. The wreck was solo in Dune Desert, with nothing around it, except the passing biovesto pecker. During the whole trip towards Myths Mosque, with Misterim's secret residence below it, A.J. kept focused and mostly silent.

Eventually, A.J.'s and Ememon's legs both started getting tired from sitting around for a few hours in their organic seats. The seats were comfortable, but the lack of the ability to stretch them out and move them around was limited, if not completely 'paralyzed' or 'frozen'. Several minutes after their legs started to ache, FCL Star Trail left Dune Desert. Sighing, A.J. started to get bored, knowing there was still a long way to go, as he yawned in boredom.

Sensing his boredom and knowing how long it would take for them to reach Myths Mosque, as FCL Star Trail had an internal map of the Realm of Charges; FCL Star Trail did something wonderful. From the inside, it wasn't noticeable, especially since A.J. was focused in a small amount to where FCL Star Trail was going. The same was with Ememon, and Otazoidmon was sleeping.

A.J. glanced sideways and looked down from inside, down towards the canyons they were passing. He refocused himself on piloting FCL Star Trail and with his boredom growing; he glanced sideways and looked down again from the inside. However, what A.J. saw got his attention fully and his boredom left him. He nudged Ememon mentally, mentally encouraging him to glance down to the ground.

Below them, instead of canyons, was Myths Mosque and the soft greenery around it. FCL Star Trail completely stopped above it, waiting patiently for A.J.'s next command. It was wonderful to A.J., with one moment they were flying through the canyons, and the next they were above Myths Mosque. Recovering from his shock, A.J. remembered about the starship docking bay underground.

He tried to figure of a way to get into the docking bay, but FCL Star Trail was one step ahead of him. From the outside, a semitransparent green beam was released downwards into the underground, coming from the 'belly' of the biovesto pecker. A few moments later and A.J. noticed that the underground bay was opening. Suddenly, FCL Star Trail opened its 'mind', which was more like the central server or something close, up to A.J.

A.J. understood how FCL Star Trail got them there so quickly and how it opened the docking bay. More specifically was how the semitransparent beam opened the docking bay in descriptive details. With the land splitting up to reveal the underground docking bay, FCL Star Trail descended straight down into the docking bay. Once passing the huge camouflaged surface gate, the gate closed and FCL Star Trail touched down in the docking bay.

Finally landing, A.J. detached himself from the biovesto helmet and suit. Ememon followed A.J.'s example and followed A.J. out of the cockpit. Once in the cargo bay, A.J. walked over to Otazoidmon and knelt over his sleeping form. Ememon went straight towards the cargo bay door and opened it up. Otazoidmon was fast asleep, but a few physical and mental nudges towards Otazoidmon eventually woke up the sleepyhead...

Otazoidmon sat up straight and glanced towards the cargo bay door. He noticed that it was open and sensed that Ememon was reluctant from leaving, especially alone. Otazoidmon looked back at A.J., who was also staring outside, passing the cargo bay door.

"We already arrived?" Otazoidmon asked, raising an eyebrow.

A.J. nodded, not taking his stare away from outside. Since Otazoidmon had just woken up, his senses were fully alert. However, A.J.'s senses and Ememon's senses told them both that there was something wrong outside. Instinctively, they knew how to stay on guard and full alert. They felt something dangerous in the underground headquarter. It was a strange feeling, yet A.J. eventually understood that it was the same way his biovesto pecker felt.

The biovesto pecker was either just telling the two how it felt, or actually telling them of the danger. A.J. wasn't sure, but he sensed that Otazoidmon had his senses back completely and he was on full alert also. Outside the docking bay was darkness. A.J. didn't fear the dark, but was weary of what waited outside in the darkness. A.J. knew that the Muslims had a lunar calendar from since that Islamic historic pilgrimage between the two cities.

He knew through that the Muslims somewhat considered the night and darkness to be special to them, if not sacred. Through that, A.J. didn't fear the darkness and since he was also a Muslim, he himself thought of the night and darkness to be special to him. Not taking any chances, A.J. summoned his Emeraldsnow and was the first to carefully leave FCL Star Trail. Otazoidmon followed behind him and Ememon took the rear, slightly shaking in fear.

Outside the cargo bay, FCL Star Trail automatically closed its cargo door and A.J. used his Emeraldsnow to light up the darkness. With such intense light and energy imitated from his Emeraldsnow, the light from Emeraldsnow clearly showed the short path to leave the docking bay, with faint light coming from the only open entrance.

"Prince, have a look around. We'll know if there's something to be afraid of through you. That's your goal here; not to locate White Fox's army tag." A.J. explained.

Ememon moaned, but kept silent and accepted A.J.'s decision. He walked ahead towards the only entrance into the docking pay, with A.J. and Otazoidmon holding their position. Going through the entrance and disappearing from sight, A.J. turned around to Otazoidmon, with Emeraldsnow still lighted up with green ownalis energy.

"You mentioned earlier about something you had to tell me. What's that?" A.J. asked, narrowing his eyes in question.

Otazoidmon sighed and lowered his head. He replied without raising his head.

"My story." He simply replied.

A.J. raised an eyebrow, interested in what Otazoidmon had to say.

"Go on." A.J. whispered, beckoning Otazoidmon to continue.

Otazoidmon took a deep breath and knew how to relate his story.

"I know you'll like this story. But I ask and trust you not to tell anyone about this. When I feel like telling others, I'll tell them since it's my story. Did you ever wonder why I look so human? Well don't wonder anymore, as I have the true story of my past to reveal...

"Mystery was a common word to me from the start, though from the beginning I didn't understand any language... This might come as a shock to you, but believe it or not, my life didn't start out as a Digi-Egg, much less a codelimin. I do remember my past, but not as far as to when I actually started to exist... I was human once, born to a human family. Since I was born to a human family, my life started out like any other humans: as a baby human.

"Because of that, I basically behave like humans and not like common or natural codelimin. From what I remember, I started changing when I started to have the ability of manipulating and creating lightning, still as a baby. I remember one night I was crying and I quickly found out that I was alone, with my parents not around, because no one came to satisfy a need of mine. What was my need? I honestly forgot. It had been so long ago.

"I guess I was lonely because I remember the gentle drops of rain raining down outside. I heard thunder and saw flashes of lightning. I guess it was then on that rainy night that I started to change. I was like in the living room, because I saw a flash of lightning enter the house mysteriously and come towards me. From the lightning, I became something of a freak and mutant. For all I know, I was the only child of my parents.

"I grew up with my parents for a few years. Because of the lightning, not only did I discover I could manipulate and create lightning, but also some sort of new element, a new element I didn't know back then. I know for sure now that the new element is ownalis. One day, several years after that rainy night, I found a precious pure cut green emerald gem... I guess it was destroyed when the starship crashed in Dune Desert, because I left it carelessly behind.

"I was too much in a hurry to check to see if I had everything necessary. That gem is the oldest possession I have had since I was living with my parents... Now, it's gone... On the night of the same day that I found the gem, while I was sleeping, unknown to me until later on, the gem glowed green and I turned into Survivomon directly as the result from the gem. I knew then that the gem had mysterious and powerful abilities.

"Anyway, when I woke up, I found myself in Misterim's quarters, here in the Realm of Charges, where Misterim took care of me like a father would with his infant son. Misterim told me and explained many things to me that first day I was Survivomon. Through an ability the emerald gem had, Misterim was ability to see what had happened, from way back starting from the rainy night. He told me what happened while I was sleeping.

"Needless to say, waking up and finding everything so foreign and feeling so foreign was a total shock to me. Misterim was really extra patient with me until I recovered from the shock. He had told me that while I was sleeping and had already turned into Survivomon, another flash of green lightning flashed outside and I vanished away from my home and dimension.

"When I recovered, I found myself in my caterpillar or infant form of Emeraldmon. The form you know too well... Misterim knew of the gem and my ability in manipulating and creating both lightning and ownalis from the start. When I had recovered from my shock, Misterim taught me everything he knew. That's what was behind the reason of me having concentrated attack when you first met me.

"Misterim trained me in both my lightning based techniques: Emerald Lightning and Emerald Bolt. I went in hiding when your foster sister and her soul-warrior copedam showed up. I went to the Digital World for the first time and settled in the quiet and serene island of Sacred Star Island. I found this cave in the island and met Elite Reptomon. I quickly befriended him.

"One of the things Misterim taught me was Twilasin language and that's how when I became juvenile, decided on the name that I now carry, with knowledge of its meaning... You could say I'm literally a hybrid between human and codelimin. Half-human because I was born that way and half-codelimin because of what I am now and what I'm capable of. I won't be surprised if there are DNA mixtures in me.

"With a certain amount of DNA being human DNA and the rest being codelimin digital DNA. I know for sure though that my digital DNA is more dominant than my human DNA... Like what we humans say, the rest is history." Otazoidmon lectured, finishing his story.

Upon hearing some parts of his past, A.J. felt that he had dejavû, as some of Otazoidmon's past was similar to A.J.'s past. A.J.'s silence surprised Otazoidmon when Otazoidmon finished his story. He expected and even predicated that A.J. would have numerous questions, or at least be shocked and speechless, but not speechless in the way he was now. A.J. looked to be solving some stuff; putting pieces of a puzzle together; putting two and two together.

Noticing Otazoidmon's stare, A.J. spoke out his thoughts.

"Some part of your past sounds too familiar to me." He explained.

"Really? Like what parts?" Otazoidmon asked, interested...

Before A.J. could tell or reply, both sailor and soul-warrior copedam heard a loud yelp coming from the entrance. They both turned around and with the light from Emeraldsnow, came face to face with a tanned; bald young human, who was holding onto Ememon and a codelimin beside the tanned human, which looked like a weird cross between Patamon and Veemon. A.J. and Otazoidmon quickly realized that it was the human and his copedam that frightened FCL Star Trail.

"Nexusmon - Dragon Jerebi Juvenile - This codelimin specie and its evolutionary forms are unique, as Nexusmon wasn't raised or born in some Primary Village. This codelimin could be born to some mature female mammal codelimin, as could some other codelimin, which are all rare, including Nexusmon - His attacks are: Bubble Horn and Nexus Beam."

"Nexusmon?" Otazoidmon asked.

"I never heard of such a codelimin name." A.J. whispered, staring at Nexusmon.

"Much less being born to mature female mammal codelimin and raised by them." Otazoidmon added.

Nexusmon growled. "You just watch it human freak! Don't you dare insult my mother!"

Otazoidmon gasped. "Human freak?!" He bellowed.

He had heard enough comments like that and thought he would never hear such comments again. Confused by Otazoidmon taking his insult so seriously, Nexusmon was surprised and confused.

"... Yeah. I meant you look like a codelimin human." Nexusmon muttered.

Otazoidmon blinked, quickly understanding that Nexusmon's insult had nothing to do with his past. He didn't mean to insult Nexusmon's mother either. Insulting Nexusmon's mother wasn't Otazoidmon's intention, and he didn't even think of it, when he commented about such born codelimin like Nexusmon. A.J. knew that Otazoidmon kept his attention on Nexusmon, as they knew of the titles of Nexusmon's attack, but weren't aware of the strategies Nexusmon used.

Even worse was Nexusmon being partnered with a human. A.J. didn't know whether the human was mean to Nexusmon, or if he was kind to it. If the young male human was kind to Nexusmon, A.J. wondered if the human was either a DigiDestined or a sailor. He noticed that the tanned human was around his own age. A.J. kept his silence, and a showdown of stares and who would blink first occurred between A.J. and Otazoidmon against the tanned human and Nexusmon.

"... This is my territory! Leave at once!" The young human ordered.

A.J. narrowed his eyes. "This isn't your territory. This underground headquarters belonged to a friend of mine. Misterim Arteenlow, maybe you've heard of him."

"That old aged centuries' man? Yeah. I knew him. I had been waiting for him to die. He never was kind or gentle to me and I knew many stuff that happened... well, apparent stuff like Mamigrol and you burying that fool." The human teen scowled.

A.J. glared. "... I'll ask you once, let my soul-warrior go." He informed slowly, posing himself into an offensive position.

The human teen chuckled. "Like that would happen! Misterim might have been powerful enough to keep me at bay. However, you don't have the centuries old experience, nor the skill and training."

A.J. chuckled. "Centuries old... skill... training!" He laughed. "You have no idea who you're facing pretty boy."

"I might not know, but I know I can take you." The human teen replied.

A.J. raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah?" He asked. "Then try to stop this!"

A.J. rushed at top speed towards the human teen, Emeraldsnow ready to slice through him. The human teen just chuckled. Still holding onto Ememon, the human teen just nodded his head towards A.J. and mysteriously A.J. was sent flying backwards. He slammed into the cargo bay door of his biovesto pecker and all three Feranin League disciples understood what made FCL Star Trail so afraid. It simply knew of the human teen's ability.

Taking no chances, Otazoidmon quickly summoned his Aura of Myths, to protect him from any negative surprises from either the human teen or from Nexusmon. A.J. was surprised that a mere human had such ability. He knew the main idea of such ability, as it rivaled the ability of the fictitious Jean Grey and her telekinetic ability, or moving objects around mentally.

However, like Otazoidmon, A.J. didn't take any chance and stood back up onto his feet. Once standing up straight, he summoned his Aura of Myths and wasn't sure if the young teen was still capable of doing such ability with their auras activated. He knew better than to underestimate the human teen now, as he didn't have the ability himself and didn't know how well the young teen mastered it. He regrouped with Otazoidmon, refusing to give up.

The collision into the cargo bay door didn't harm A.J. in anyway, but the fall onto the ground pained him a little, though he could tolerate such minor pains and show no weakness. Now, A.J. realized that the young teen might not be a direct crescentian descendent, yet it taught A.J. to be weary of the young teen and never to underestimate any humans of any personalities or pasts ever again, a lesson well received and learned.

What A.J. knew, was he won't give up and accomplish his goal. He would survive this encounter and return back to Resolve to return White Fox's army tag to him. He made sure that Ememon and Otazoidmon were coming with him, even if they got their energies drained and went down to some lower form of theirs, alive and healthy.

"I think I deserve to know the name of such a worthy... sailor." A.J. requested, deciding that the young teen boy would be Nexusmon's sailor.

The young teen raised his eyebrow. "That's quite noble, coming from the sailor of myths. I promise you on my honor that I'll give you my name, but with the condition of you giving yours first."

A.J. tilted his head to the left slightly and decided to introduce himself as humbly as possible.

"Fair enough. I'm a servant of God, who goes by the name of A.J. Actonal. You can just call my A.J." He greeted.

"Servant of God you say? You must be a Muslim, or a believer in the Islamic religion then. Pleasure to meet you A.J. It's the first time I met someone from my own religion as well. Like you, I'm a servant of God, but you can address me as Cliff Ashton, or considering the circumstances, just Cliff would do." The young teen greeted.

"A servant of God? You? You must be kidding! What servant of God would attack and restrain a fellow intelligent creature?" A.J. questioned, leaving out the fact of Cliff not warning A.J. of his ability.

Cliff's heart fell and he let go of Ememon voluntarily; without hesitance and gently pushed Ememon. Ememon rushed back towards A.J. and took refuge in the center behind A.J. and Otazoidmon, with the center being between A.J. and Otazoidmon. He kept his back to them, but summoned his aura of myths. A.J. understood that Ememon would want to be alone at the moment.

Cliff felt disappointed in himself and ashamed of himself for doing such a thing towards a codelimin. It was a new feeling to Cliff, as it was the first time he felt it, but he recognized it and knew what it was right away. Realizing that it was a sin to fight a fellow brother in the faith A.J. lowered his weapon and deactivated his aura of myths, but kept alert, not wanting to be caught off guard.

Realizing that his fellow brother was feeling ashamed of himself, A.J. knew that the two of them would eventually become close. At the moment, A.J. didn't need to worry of Cliff using his ability against A.J. He beckoned his two soul-warrior copedam to stand down and deactivate their auras. Quietly, Ememon did as he was told without turning around and keeping silent. Otazoidmon groaned in disapproval, but obeyed A.J. nonetheless and deactivated his aura of myths.

From his sudden change of behavior, A.J. figured that Cliff had the right qualities of joining Crescent League. That was left for fate and the future, yet A.J. sensed that Cliff would join Crescent League eventually. How soon or how long? A.J. didn't know. With the danger fading away, A.J. and his two soul-warrior copedam relaxed. Silently, Ememon walked over to FCL Star Trail, opened the cargo bay door and went inside, closing the cargo bay door behind him.

A.J. had Emeraldsnow vanish, as light had suddenly appeared when Cliff had let go of Ememon...

"What now?" Otazoidmon asked.

A.J. shrugged. "I hadn't forgotten about what we came here to do, but... for how long have you been residing here Cliff?"

"A day after I received the news of Misterim's death. Exactly how long? I really don't know." Cliff replied.

"Then you must have seen the army tag!" A.J. exclaimed.

Cliff raised an eyebrow. "Which one?"

A.J. chuckled and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He considered of whether telling Cliff of White Fox.

"Why did you come here? Why this place in particular to reside?" Otazoidmon asked.

Nexusmon turned to his sailor and Cliff glanced at his sailor and nodded. Nexusmon sighed.

"Since Cliff is a slave of God, he does prayer like every other Muslim. Myths Mosque attracted him for its serenity and harmony, not to mention quietness. I tagged along since I had no other place to go. At first Cliff didn't know about this underground headquarters and Misterim would kick him out of the mosque, so... This is a rather suitable place to live, rather than having it turn into something like a haunted headquarters. Besides Cliff took care of the mosque above." Nexusmon explained.

"Through cleaning the mosque up, I discovered the entry to this headquarter. I knew that Misterim didn't reside the entire time in Myths Mosque, and was quietly astonished and it was a positive surprise to me." Cliff replied.

A.J. took both Nexusmon's and Cliff's words, and from them, A.J. realized a few things. One thing was that Cliff didn't know of Misterim's previous quarters and another was that Misterim did leave his quarters, to repel Cliff most likely.

'That's reasonable. Misterim rarely did leave his quarters when I was around, but the time he spent out was never too long.' Otazoidmon agreed.

A.J. nodded and chuckled silently to himself. It seemed that slowly A.J. was getting more and more information of not only Otazoidmon's past, but also of Misterim's, even though it was just like glances or flashes, considering Misterim's long life. He decided against telling Cliff of White Fox, since Cliff might already find out from White Fox himself, that was if Cliff was fine and agreed to depart Myths Mosque with him and his two soul-warriors.

Nexusmon was welcome to come along, if he liked. Deciding that he would need to mention too much detail, A.J. decided on looking for the army tag himself. With or without his soul-warriors help and definitely not with Cliff's help. A.J. also wondered if Cliff knew about the secret room where he found his imperial suit. How he scolded himself sometimes for leaving his imperial suit in his previous starship.

But quickly took the thought away, considering that he had no other choice. He hoped and wished that he could have another, or could have had at least saved his previous one. Realizing what Nexusmon said more closely, A.J. sweat-dropped and mentally scolded himself for not praying during the whole time that he had been in the Realm of Charges. Reading his mind, Otazoidmon silently giggled to himself, earning himself a glare from A.J.

'Let's not forget that you're Muslim too!' A.J. exclaimed.

'Let's not also forget that you're the human here. As far as I know, Islam doesn't say anything about codelimin worshipping Allah.' Otazoidmon retorted.

A.J. laughed. 'Remember your past! You're half human too! I... also don't know about codelimin worshipping Allah, but for as far as I know, codelimin are specie in themselves and don't have any human DNA in them, where as, you do.'

Otazoidmon groaned. '... I guess you might be right. I know this won't be much, but I know I did mention that my codelimin DNA is dominated over my human DNA.'

A.J. shook his head. 'That doesn't mean anything and won't help you.'

'I knew it!' Otazoidmon moaned.

Cliff and Nexusmon were amused at the silent conversation between A.J. and Otazoidmon, including Ememon, who was eavesdropping again from inside the biovesto pecker. He was listening to A.J. and Otazoidmon mentally, like he did before when Otazoidmon told A.J. of his past. Ememon knew that his skill in telepathy was good, to the degree that he knew when to eavesdrop on mental conversations without grabbing their attention.

Although amused, Cliff and Nexusmon were also confused of the changes of attitude and behavior from A.J. and Otazoidmon, without any idea that Feranin League all had a mental bond together. With the sense of adventure and exploration, A.J. reminded himself of his quest and also reminded himself that he vaguely remembered his way around the underground headquarters, considering other stuff distracting him and for him being gone a considerable amount of time.

Silently A.J. walked away from Otazoidmon and approached Cliff and Nexusmon. Cliff tensed up and prepared himself in self-defense as did Nexusmon, but both instantly relaxed when A.J. passed them and left the docking bay. Reluctantly, Otazoidmon followed his sailor. Cliff was curious about the biovesto pecker, as was Nexusmon, since they haven't seen any such flying plane ever before, but both decided against approaching it.

Since both knew that curiosity sometimes would hurt and this kind of curiosity would hurt for sure. With few other choices, Cliff decided on following A.J. and Otazoidmon, as did Nexusmon...

A.J. sweat-dropped upon entering the second large dimensional history archive room. He recognized it right away and immediately remembered the whole base. He remembered it being called 'Myths Base' and not 'Misterim's Underground Headquarters' or something like that. A.J. realized that he wanted to copy the books and remembered that before he got the pecker starship out, he copied the books information to his univice.

A.J. sighed, deciding on reading what were in the books after the Trio of Resolve departed from the Realm of Charges. He turned around, only to find Otazoidmon; Cliff, and Nexusmon staring at him, standing in front of the entrance. He shook his head and walked out once more, passing Otazoidmon; Cliff, and Nexusmon. Otazoidmon realized the mistake and like A.J., remembered the map by mind.

Confused, Cliff and Nexusmon followed Otazoidmon and A.J. back into the docking bay, or more appropriately and commonly as garage. All four continued south, passing the biovesto pecker and eventually entering the primary room. A.J. nodded, remembering the mental map he had from the first time he entered the base. He walked towards the west and entered his small bedroom, the bedroom that was previously Feranin League's bedroom.

He continued on towards the west and entered Misterim's bedroom. From what A.J. noticed, it was apparent that Cliff and Nexusmon had taken Misterim's bedroom as their own bedroom. At first, A.J. felt angered, but after awhile he didn't care and just shrugged it off. He walked into the next room, where he and Misterim had done their dance rehearsal and where he had found the army tags.

To his delight, not only did he find the army tags, including his own, but he also found his morph device; coin bracelet, and imperial suit. A.J. glanced behind him and saw that Otazoidmon; Cliff, and Nexusmon were full of awe from the room. A.J. snickered, remembering the first time he had entered the room.

'I guess that hover car is lost forever then.' He thought.

A.J. grabbed all three army tags and put his own around his neck. He put his coin bracelet onto his right wrist, with the morph device above it.

'Comet, please grab my imperial suit. I don't want to leave anything behind.' A.J. requested.

Otazoidmon raised an eyebrow. 'How do you know it's yours? Wasn't it destroyed in the starship wreck?'

A.J. sighed. 'I think so, but I can just sense this being it. I don't know. White Fox might have an answer for this.'

"Whatever you say sailor." Otazoidmon sighed.

He walked over to A.J.'s imperial suit and took it. To Otazoidmon's amusement, the suit shrunk in size to fit Otazoidmon's size. Otazoidmon glanced at A.J.

A.J. shrugged. "If it's going to be yours now, it doesn't matter to me. Don't wear it here. Let's go back. Want to come along with us Cliff and Nexusmon?"

Cliff and Nexusmon both blinked and glanced at each other.

"You really mean it?" Nexusmon asked.

A.J. nodded. "I sure do. Besides, where we're heading is to a populace town. Both of you would have your own shelter, with your own DNA and digital DNA samples in it."

Cliff raised an eyebrow. "Does that have anything to do with this 'biovesto' I've been hearing about?"

"It does. White Fox can explain more to you two about biovesto." A.J. replied.

Cliff shrugged. "If it isn't any trouble for you... then I guess we're coming along."

Nexusmon's eyes widened and he turned to Cliff.

"Wow! You mean it?" He asked.

Cliff understood his excitement and grinned.

"I will have to accept fate and what Allah has put in for both of us. If we're to become sailor and soul-warrior, or chosen and copedam then so be it. I prefer sailor and soul-warrior though. Chosen isn't a word I like much." Cliff remarked.

"Yippy!" Nexusmon yelled, excited.

Otazoidmon and A.J. smiled.

'We'll need to come back some time, but in a larger starship and to bring copies of the DNA archive that's here.' A.J. thought.

'We don't have any room for it back in Meric Land.' Otazoidmon reminded.

'We'll make room for it in Emerald Mansion and that's final.' A.J. decided.

'I'm not against it. That's fine with me.' Otazoidmon assured.

At that moment, A.J. felt Ememon eavesdropping on them. He grinned and nudged Otazoidmon mentally. With the mental nudge from A.J., Otazoidmon understood and also felt Ememon eavesdropping. He sweat-dropped and shook his head. Just as both felt him, he was gone, indicating that he left probing their minds.

"Back to FCL Star Trail then. Otazoidmon, you'll set in back with Cliff and Nexusmon. Ememon and I will pilot the biovesto pecker back to Resolve." A.J. informed.

Otazoidmon shrugged. "Fine with me."

"Biovesto Pecker?" Cliff asked, muttering.

In a moment, Cliff put what he knew about biovesto together and the starship he saw before. The result was a good deal of questions answered, but he was now afraid to board the biovesto starship, considering what A.J. had told him before. Cliff refused to mention it, leaving it to A.J. He was sure that A.J. knew about the danger if he and Nexusmon entered it. He hoped that A.J. would be able to deal with it and neutralize the senses of the starship.

Or at least have the starship not consider him and Nexusmon a danger. He shook his head and followed A.J. and Otazoidmon back to the docking bay with Nexusmon following them. A.J. was well aware of it. Otazoidmon had noticed something when he had grabbed his sailor's stuff, but wasn't sure. A.J. noticed Otazoidmon leaving his side. Otazoidmon returned to the small room and noticed the small green emerald gem on a small table.

Otazoidmon smiled brightly. He knew it was the same green emerald gem from his past. Keeping it in his hand, he went back to FCL Star Trail. From the inside, Ememon opened up the cargo bay door and A.J. and Otazoidmon stepped in, after Otazoidmon caught up with his sailor. Using his mind, A.J. assured FCL Star Trail of Cliff and Nexusmon, and through that FCL Star Trail lowered its hostile security.

Cliff and Nexusmon waited a few moments reluctantly and eventually entered the biovesto pecker. Cliff sighed in relief when the pecker didn't hurt them. A.J. walked towards the cockpit, but Cliff stopped him.

"Wait! I think you forgot something." He stated.

A.J. stopped and turned around, his eyes narrowed in confusion.

"I had a goal in coming here and now it's complete. We're going back." He informed.

"What about those... digi-eggs?" Nexusmon asked, hesitantly.

That stopped A.J. in his tracks.

'Surely he can't mean digi-eggs as in codelimin digi-eggs, in which embryo codelimin reside. Could he mean charges? It wouldn't do any harm to find out. Hopefully, it won't delay us much.' He thought.

He turned around. Otazoidmon had already put the imperial suit down securely, hiding his emerald green gem in it. Ememon had already entered the cockpit and was waiting for A.J.

"... Where are they?" A.J. asked.

"We saw them back in the armor room." Cliff replied.

"I'm surprised you didn't see them either." Nexusmon commented.

A.J. slowly nodded. He quickly left the pecker and rushed back to the small armor room. At first glance around the room, no charges were noticeable. However, A.J. believed Cliff and Nexusmon and looked closer around the armor room. To his delight, he eventually noticed a glitter of golden light and eventually found three charges. From what A.J. saw, the charges appeared to be those of miracles. He remembered the crest of miracles on his first gained charge for Otazoidmon.

Like his previous charges, sensing him near, the charges glowed in green and eventually Muchiya sucked the three charges in. A.J. sighed and wondered when he would get a chance to try out all the charges he had. He might get the chance of trying some while he was in the Realm of Charges, while others might be during training or battling. It didn't matter much. A.J. rushed back to FCL Star Trail and Otazoidmon closed the cargo bay door behind him.

"Did you find them?" Cliff asked.

A.J. nodded. "Sure did. There were three of them, correct?"

Nexusmon nodded. "Three was what I and Cliff saw."

Assured, A.J. walked into the cockpit and took the pilot's seat. Like before, the biovesto covered up A.J. and kept him close to the back of the organic seat. The protection biovesto suit came out of the back of the biovesto seat. The mental biovesto helmet landed on A.J.'s head and through it, FCL Star Trail started. FCL Star Trail released a beam, similar to the one it released downwards into the ground, up into the ceiling.

The ceiling opened up and A.J. lifted FCL Star Trail into the air. Once high in the clear blue sky, the ground below sealed up. A.J. landed his biovesto pecker onto the ground and rushed out of FCL Star Trail, without mentioning where he was going. Probing his mind, both Ememon and Otazoidmon knew, but A.J. didn't mind them knowing. He didn't want Cliff or Nexusmon to know.

He walked over to Misterim's grave and knelt down in front of it. He was out of sight from the biovesto pecker. A.J. smiled and put Misterim's army tag on over the gravestone. To his surprise, the necklace holding the army tag expanded and easily slid down the gravestone. Touching the ground, the army tag glowed white momentarily and faded away. Both tags glowed at the same time, before both faded away at the same time.

Satisfied, A.J. went back to Myths Mosque; made ablution, and took a Qur'an from the mosque. He went back FCL Star Trail and closed the cargo bay door behind him.

"What did you do?" Cliff asked, blinking.

A.J. shrugged. He gave the Qur'an to Otazoidmon, and he held it. A.J. walked into the cockpit. He sat down in his seat and the biovesto covered him. The helmet came down and A.J. started up the engine again. The sky was darkening, indicating that night was near. A.J. didn't mind that the quest took almost a whole day. It was off to Resolve Town once again, with some satisfaction and happiness...
