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...

Previously on Storms of Myths:

Ememon here, we reached Misterim's Quarters but it was in wrecks. We learned that the Digital Visi and his goons were the ones to attack it later on. We took base below Myths Mosque, which is called Myths Base, and settled down. Misterim had injures but recovered from them the next day. A.J. prepared a delicious omelet that he calls Actonal Omelet with Misterim's help. What is all this about dancing? On with the conclusion...

"What about me and you?" A.J. asked.

"Starspark can stay with Otazoidmon, who's relieved of it. Ememon, would you kindly wake Lunal up for his serving, before it gets cold? Thanks. I'll teach you how to dance like a master, before I die anyway." Misterim explained.

Ememon left to wake Lunal up.

"I know how to dance." A.J. remarked.

"Do you know how to tap dance? Fast dance? Country Dance?" Misterim asked.

A.J. blinked.

"I rest my case." Misterim smiled.

A.J. sighed, finishing up feeding Starspark and ate up his serving. Ememon took the last two plates and went with Zonemon to do the washing. Suddenly, some thoughts came into A.J.'s head.

"Where's a laptop or computer?" A.J. asked, standing up.

"In the room next to mine." Misterim replied.

A.J. nodded. He left the primary room and entered his bedroom...

He left the bedroom entering Misterim's small bedroom and from there to the only other door that was apparent. A.J. entered the room and saw a laptop there on a desk. The thoughts left his mind as he saw what was in the room. He saw unified battle suits with weapons close by or on them. Misterim came in behind A.J. He smiled.

"Yep, those were the glorious days." Misterim stared at the unified suits and the weapons.

A.J. grabbed one of the swords on the wall and compared his own sword with the one he just took.

"Closely the same." A.J. sighed.

"Check the necklaces." Misterim requested, folding his arms.

A.J. put the other blade back and sheathed his own. He picked a necklace and took it out of its hook. It was two metal tags like the soldiers wear. The difference here was that name and figures were engraved onto the duo tags. The tags were made of emerald and not of metal, it was green emerald; not blue.

"That one you picked belongs to your ancestor: Hadef." Misterim explained.

He approached the wall and held onto another necklace, staring at it.

"This was mine." He smiled.

He went to another, held onto it and stared at it.

"This was White Fox's." He nodded.

"What are the figures in the engraving?" A.J. asked.

"Twilasin Language. The figures resemble words, like Chinese and Japanese. Twilasin has figures that resemble letters too though." Misterim replied.

A.J. stared admiringly at it.

"Each necklace is told to have the ability of sensing other Crescentian people if they're nearby. The offspring of these necklaces can wear them. I don't have any offspring so my necklace is a lone one. I don't know about White Fox. Try on your necklace, let's see what happens." Misterim requested.

A.J. hesitatingly put on his ancestor necklace. The necklace instantly glowed and its name changed with the figures. The name changed to A.J. Actonal. Misterim went over and read the figures.

"Emir of Algeria." Misterim muttered.

A.J. thought of something and decided to try it. He took off the coin necklace of his and put it around his right wrist. The coin necklace became a coin bracelet and held onto the wrist. Misterim smiled, holding something in his hands.

"What's that you're carrying?" A.J. asked.

"Did you take the Crescentian Immunity shot?" Misterim asked.

"I did, but that's irrelevant to what I asked you." A.J. replied.

"It can protect you from bullets; radiation, and tons of other stuff, but that's not the only thing... It also lets you live for thousands of years. When the Day of Judgment is a year or two away, the immunity would become weak and you'd die in a few weeks but then again, the immunity could be wrong." Misterim explained.

"So I took a Life Long shot without knowing it?" A.J. asked.

Misterim nodded. "You bet."

A.J. face-faulted. "Just what I need."

"I'll give this to you after the lesson. Perhaps final lesson." Misterim remarked.

A.J. blinked. "O.K."

Misterim put the thing away. He went over to A.J.

"You know how to hold a girl when you and she dance, right?" Misterim asked.

"This is going to feel kind of awkward." A.J. remarked.

"You're telling me?! I'm the teacher besides; there will be a point where you'll dance on your own to beat." Misterim grinned.

'This is going to take longer than I thought.' A.J. thought...

THREE HOURS LATER...

A.J. and Misterim where in the primary room getting something to drink. The two were sweating from their rehearsal.

"You are one hell of a dancer, I'll give you that." Misterim admitted.

"I got to know much more than I already knew. Thanks a lot for it... coach." A.J. grinned.

"Let me ask you something." Misterim requested.

"What?" A.J. asked.

"At any moment in the dancing, did you feel... attracted to me?" Misterim asked, raising an eyebrow.

A.J. sweat-dropped and spitted the drink out of his mouth. He wiped his mouth and put the drink on the counter.

"You've got to be kidding me. Of course not! I mean I'm not the homosexual type." A.J. replied.

Misterim nodded. "The first answer was good enough."

A.J. laughed. He went over to the sink and opened the faucet. He splashed water onto his face, cooling it down.

"There's been that thing you wanted to explain to me about." A.J. reminded, with the faucet water running.

"Yeah, the morph device. There are only seven of them. Do you know where that water's coming from?" Misterim asked.

"Why?" A.J. asked, turning the faucet off.

"Well, it's just from an underground reserve a few yards away from the base." Misterim replied.

A.J. nodded. Misterim put his cup away.

"Now to give you that morph device." He grinned, walking towards the armory room.

"Morph device?" A.J. asked.

He quickly went after Misterim...

They entered the armory and Misterim showed the morph device, the thing that he was holding before, to A.J.

"That's a morph device?" A.J. asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Believe me it would become handy in the future. There are only seven of them and you're the leader of the seven of course." Misterim smirked.

A.J. took the morph device and put it above his bracelet on his right wrist, buckling it to the wrist. The device was like a normal watch. The screen was in a shape of an owl, lined out one that was in emerald. An emerald gemstone was at the center in a five-edged star form. There were no buttons or anything like it. The bracelet was black and soft. The owl had its wings spread outwards, slightly upwards.

It held onto A.J.'s arm like a way you close a cap connected to your jacket, rough surface with soft hairy surface that holds onto one another.

"One last thing before I go." Misterim requested.

"What?" A.J. asked.

"Make me a member of your league." Misterim requested.

A.J. blinked. "As you wish. Coach Misterim Arteenlow, even without a soul-warrior or digivice, you're full with good virtues. Welcome aboard onto the Islamic Andalus League."

A.J. gave him a united Islamic Andalus League coat. Misterim took it and put it on him.

"I'm kind of weak; several thousands of years would do that to you. Last advice, don't give up on anything you go for, no matter what it is, and keep trying until you succeed. Life is short and this is mortality, not infinity. There is a life after this one that is infinite: work for it and not against it." Misterim advised, leaving the room into his bedroom.

A.J. walked with him into Misterim's bedroom. Misterim went into his bed and tucked himself in. A.J. stared at him from the entrance of his bedroom.

"Go now. The angel is waiting." Misterim whispered, smiling with weak eyes.

'The angel of death? Most likely. I better go.' A.J. thought.

He left the room, closing the door behind him...

A.J. walked into the primary room where everyone else was. He sat down on a couch.

"Where's Misterim?" Otazoidmon asked.

Ememon was feeding Starspark on a chair. Zonemon was sitting in one of the massaging seats and Otazoidmon was with him on the couch. Lunal was on his perch, listening.

"He died." A.J. muttered.

Everyone was instantly quiet for the moment, staring at A.J.

"Death... We'll all experience it, there's no escape from it. We're all to Allah and we'll all return to him." A.J. sighed, standing up.

He went into Misterim's bedroom, passing through his own bedroom. The others followed him. Ememon had Starspark. A.J. stared at the smiled but closed-eyed Misterim. A.J. let a few tears down his face. He took the covers off of Misterim. Misterim had his left arm on his league member's coat.

"What are you doing?" Zonemon asked.

"What does it look like? I'm going to bury him." A.J. replied.

"Do you know how to bury a body?" Ememon asked.

"I sure do. There are a few things according to Islamic religion that I should do first. Now, would some of you help me? I can't carry him alone you know." A.J. explained.

Ememon gave Starspark to Otazoidmon and went to help A.J. Zonemon went to help as well...

AN HOUR LATER...

"We're done." A.J. sighed, with a pale sad face.

He just buried Misterim outside, not far from the mosque but not close either, amongst trees with his soul-warriors helping him. The crovinze on the surface of the grave said his name and year; it also said 'COACH ABOVE ALL COACHES. MAY ALLAH HAVE MERCY ON HIM. TO ALLAH WE ALL ARE AND TO HIM WE'LL RETURN.'

Lunal was perched close by on a branch in a near tree. Zonemon; Ememon, and Otazoidmon all stood beside A.J. Otazoidmon was carrying Starspark.

"He was one heck of a leader." A voice sighed.

A.J. and his group turned towards the voice. It was between the trees, a codelimin. A.J. had Muchiya, his univice, analyze it.

"Runmon - Fire Grasl Haril - He uses his ax to do most of his attacks - His attacks are: Fire Ax; Fire Line; Fire Star; Body Heat; Fire Brick; Giant Fire."

"Come to annoy us at a time of our grief?" A.J. asked.

"Actually no. I just came over to introduce myself." Runmon replied.

"Are you in anyway close to Watermon?" Zonemon asked.

Runmon blinked. "Watermon? You know where he is?! I'm not close as a family but was as a friend. Where is he?"

"Why do you want him?" A.J. asked, staring at Runmon.

"I have some unfinished business with him." Runmon replied.

"He isn't in this world." Ememon added.

"Where then?" Runmon asked.

"In Para Andalus but only deal with him!" A.J. warned.

"I won't hurt or harm your league, don't worry. Off to Para Andalus for me then." Runmon remarked.

He vanished from where he was.

"How could he do that?" Otazoidmon asked.

"I don't have a clue. We'll learn that soon enough." A.J. replied.

"Now where are we going?" Ememon asked.

"Lu." Lunal agreed.

"To live in the forests. I'm still after for my vengeance against Straymon. I have a feeling he's back here." A.J. replied, heading towards the mosque.

"Where are you going then?" Ememon asked.

"To get some stuff. I'll be back in a few moments." A.J. replied.

His soul-warriors waited with Starspark to return but A.J. didn't return. Instead, the ground in front of the mosque opened up and A.J.'s new pecker starship, previously Misterim's, hovered into the air, upwards. The ground closed up once again. A.J. carefully landed the pecker onto the ground. He motioned his soul-warriors over. Ememon; Otazoidmon; Lunal, and Zonemon all rushed towards the pecker. A.J. opened the cargo door and his soul-warriors entered.

They all saw the car and their boards there. A.J. closed the cargo door behind them. Lunal flew towards the passenger area, passing through the living quarters. He perched onto a stick. Ememon; Zonemon, and Otazoidmon followed.

"Ememon, watch out for him." Otazoidmon indicated Starspark.

Ememon nodded, taking Starspark.

"Where are you going?" Zonemon asked.

"To sit down in the cockpit, if possible. If not, I'll be back. Don't wait." Otazoidmon replied.

He went into the cockpit and saw A.J. at the pilot's seat. Otazoidmon took the seat next to A.J.'s. A.J. turned on life support and the microphone.

"Buckle on your seats guys. Lunal hold onto something, we're going to a blasting momentous ride." A.J. explained.

Ememon and Zonemon buckled themselves onto their seats. Ememon gently hold onto Starspark tightly. Lunal grabbed tighter onto his seat. A.J. started the engines and hovered into the air. Once they we clear, A.J. cloaked the starship and blasted through the skies, away from Myths Mosque...

Previously on Storms of Myths:

Zonemon here, we spent a night in Midnight Rastiro, deep in the forest. Early next morning we all woke up to the droplets of rain. We hastily gathered our stuff and left the area. We found a mosque and we all took refuge there until the rain stopped. A.J. had discovered some stuff and had learned some stuff. Heck, even his looks and style changed! I was having my nap and I woke up to see him in a king's suit! The rain had stopped and we're off again. Our next destination is Misterim's Quarters finally. We've been gone for so long, I wonder how he is. On with the conclusion...

"Aren't we going to blast off with our boards?" Zonemon asked.

"Nah. Walking is best." A.J. replied.

"It would be a long walk." Ememon remarked.

"So be it." A.J. shrugged.

He took his bag off of his back and took out Tanilo. A.J. did some yoyo tricks with Tanilo, like Walk the Dog; Around the World, and others. Zonemon; Ememon; Lunal, and Otazoidmon all watched. A.J. calmly did more and more tricks while the small league continued on their way...

After a few hours they reached Misterim's Quarters, but they were shocked at what they saw. Misterim's Quarters was completely in ruins. Misterim himself was looking over the wreckage with torn clothes and dirt on him.

"Misterim! What happened?" A.J. asked, rushing over to him.

Misterim turned to him. A.J. gasped. Misterim had a broken nose; messy hair; a black eye, and his lower lip was bleeding.

'Let me recover first to explain it to you.' Misterim sighed.

A.J. nodded. His soul-warriors were next to him. Misterim smiled on seeing them.

'So you have Lunal with you also eh?' Misterim asked.

A.J. nodded.

"Where can we go now?" Otazoidmon asked.

'To Myths Mosque.' Misterim replied.

A.J. blinked. "Myths Mosque? But we were already there."

'My hover car is not far. Follow me, you'll have to drive A.J.' Misterim explained.

The league walked away. Misterim had something in his hand. It was a small CD in a CD cover. The league reached the hover car. The league put their boards and bags in the trunk. Misterim took the front passenger seat; A.J. took the driver's seat, and Lunal; Starspark; Ememon; Zonemon, and Otazoidmon all took the back seat. Starspark sat on Ememon's lap and Lunal rested on Otazoidmon's chest.

"A.J., what are you doing?" Ememon asked.

"Misterim asked me to drive. We're heading to Myths Mosque." A.J. replied.

He started the engine with his coin necklace. He hovered off towards Myths Mosque, above the trees...

A.J. stopped the car in front of Myths Mosque. The league got out and took their belongings from the trunk. Starspark decided on walking by himself while Lunal perched on A.J.'s shoulder. While A.J. helped Misterim, Misterim secretly handed out the CD he had to A.J. A.J. took it, not knowing what else to do. Misterim led them into the mosque.

"Wait here." Misterim commanded.

The league waited in the main room. Misterim went into the secret room and rushed out. He got to the league when a sudden elevator appeared with the league inside. The elevator went downwards at high speed. It stopped gently at the bottom and the door opened. The league gasped at what they saw. Misterim nodded.

"We're in one of two large rooms, this room is where DNA samples of every creature is kept safe and secure, it was through this that we put ancient creatures on Lost Andalus." Misterim explained, walking out of the elevator.

The league walked out, looking around them. All around them there were DNA samples of creatures known to them and also unknown to them. The elevator doors closed behind them and cloaked. A wall appeared in its place. A.J. sighed. They left the room to another large room.

"Here is where Crescentian history is kept even through the current dates. It tells of what happened in the past in lands that the Crescentian found and maybe inhabited for sometime. There are tales about Atlantis and Hadef; there are tales about Lost Andalus and Islamic Andalus League; about Crescent Code and the Destined stories there; all the history about earth from when creatures first inhabited it until now and Destined stories in Para Digital. Each book has at least 570 pages.

"Like in the DNA room, there is a laptop screen here that shows every book available. You would want to check them sometime. You could either check them here or copy them onto Muchiya and check them later." Misterim explained.

"Maybe I'll copy them and check them out later." A.J. decided.

"Wise choice." Misterim agreed.

They entered what seemed to be a huge garage. The hover car was mysteriously there with a stunning starship. Misterim noticed.

"This is a pecker type starship of the Crescentian. It's mine. You're welcome to have it A.J. I got here through it you could say with everything I needed to build a base and primary home. This was the base and my quarters was my primary home." Misterim sighed.

"We'll put our boards here." Ememon suggested.

"That's fine with me." Misterim replied.

The league put down their boards, leaning onto the wall of the garage...

They entered what seemed to be the primary room. There was a dining room; study room; living room; kitchen, and guest room all in one. Maps were rolled on the study desk in their slots. There were a few top tech laptops on some seated tables. There was a flatron TV screen in the wall.

"What are those?" Zonemon asked, pointing.

"Detailed maps of every dimension or realm we explored or even of other planets and worlds. Hadef brought back an Atlantis map with him, detailed one that he made, which is amongst those." Misterim explained, seating himself on a comfy couch.

"Where are the bedrooms and bathrooms?" A.J. asked.

"Bedrooms west and bathrooms south. We entered from the north." Misterim replied.

A.J. nodded. "Thanks. Is anybody hungry?"

Misterim chuckled and A.J. heard it.

"Mew." Starspark replied, raising his tail.

"Man I'm with Starspark." Zonemon replied.

Starspark was on the couch with Misterim but on the other side. Zonemon; Ememon, and Otazoidmon were all on easy-chairs. Otazoidmon sighed as he was on a massage chair. Zonemon and Ememon all groaned, not being on the massage chair. Lunal perched on hanger, like an owl standing.

"I've been hungry since this morning." Ememon replied.

"I'll eat anything since I'm starving." Otazoidmon replied, with his eyes closed.

"Lu." Lunal replied.

"Let's see how good in cooking you are." Misterim laughed.

A.J. huffed. He entered the kitchen and washed his hands. The lighting in the whole base was neat. It was green light in the whole base-Misterim was used to it. It was lighted more in the primary room. Misterim grabbed the TV's remote and threw it over to Ememon. Ememon caught it and turned on the TV.

"This TV has connection to both Para Digital and Para Andalus. Its satellite and cable connected. I either watch the news on either dimensions; movies, or cartoons on Para Andalus." Misterim explained.

"Do you watch sport matches or any documentaries?" Zonemon asked.

Misterim nodded. "Sometimes I do, if I'm interested or the match or documentary is interesting."

A.J. returned with Macaroni and cheese. He put a good amount in a plate and gave it to Starspark.

"Starspark's bathroom is in the same bathroom as ours." Misterim explained.

"Did you do this alone?" Ememon asked.

"Did you prepare it?" Zonemon asked.

A.J. shook his head. "I did it alone and got it from Jerebi Producer."

Misterim's jaw dropped. "And it took you this long?!"

A.J. grinned, starting to eat. The others joined him, while A.J. served Lunal his serving. Otazoidmon joined in with them.

"Do you know how to cook?" Misterim asked.

A.J. nodded. "Yeah, mom taught me since I was six."

Misterim shook his head. "It seems you need more skill yet."

A.J. sweat-dropped. "I what?"

Misterim nodded. "You heard me."

Misterim finished off his serving.

"I'm off to bed now. There's a bedroom especially for me. Before it is your and your soul-warriors' bedroom. Starspark can sleep with you guys as well." Misterim stood up, yawning.

"Wake up at six am, that's when I'll teach you more." He remarked, leaving the primary room into the bedrooms.

"I guess its off for us then when we're done." A.J. sighed.

They all finished their servings and A.J. dealt with the dishes. After that they went to their bedroom and all of them dozed off to sleep. A.J. was sleeping on a single bed. Starspark slept on the foot of it. Zonemon, Ememon, and Otazoidmon had their own single beds. Lunal slept perched on a hanger, like an owl standing...

Half an hour before dawn, A.J.; his soul-warrior copedam, and Misterim all got up for the dawn prayer. They all washed and went up into the Masjid. A.J. noticed that Misterim's injures had completely healed. Misterim faced the right direction, and A.J. and his soul-warrior copedam prayed behind him, as Misterim was the leader. Once done, they all went back down.

Otazoidmon patted Starspark on his back. Starspark purred, waking up. He stood on his paws and stretched out. A.J. called out to him and Starspark rushed out. Otazoidmon, Ememon, and Zonemon all followed. A.J. gave a bottle of milk to Otazoidmon, and Otazoidmon held Starspark up into his arms. Otazoidmon gave Starspark the rubber nibble of the bottle and Starspark started to suck. Otazoidmon smiled. Misterim came in.

"It's almost time for the lesson." Misterim reminded.

"I know." A.J. nodded.

"Go ahead and ask anything, any of you." Misterim urged.

"What happened yesterday?" Zonemon asked.

"Well... Uh... Straymon surprise attacked me and gave me quite a beating, as you all saw." Misterim replied.

"But... Straymon is on four legs; there should be claw marks. Only a bipedal can do what appeared on you yesterday." A.J. remarked.

Misterim sighed. He lied about his answer and A.J. caught him.

"How did you injures heal overnight?" Ememon asked.

"Well, that's one of the advantages of being crescentian. Any and all crescentian heal at night if they have a good night sleep." Misterim replied.

"Really now, what happened yesterday?" A.J. asked.

Misterim sighed. "The fucking Digital Visi and his goons!"

A.J. blinked. "Digital Visi?"

Zonemon and Ememon looked at one another.

"The only time were heard such a thing was when A.J. and Stan were in their Rescue Journey. Forcemon and some Miragemon intercepted us and it was Forcemon who notified us about the Digital Visi." Ememon explained.

"It was the Digital Visi who did it to me. His goons destroyed my quarters. He told me to tell you that Midnight Rastiro; Para Andalus, and Crescent Code are all under his jurisdiction. For you and your league: Islamic Andalus League to scram along with the Islamic Emirate of Algeria." Misterim replied.

A.J. growled. "That person has it coming towards him! Islam bows to no one except the creator: Allah!"

"That's absolutely correct. I told him that you'd never listen to such bullshit." Misterim grinned.

"Bullshit indeed." A.J. huffed.

Misterim looked at the time and saw that it was past six.

"O.K. A.J., lesson time." He instructed.

"Starspark is your responsibility when I can't take care of him." A.J. decided.

"Thanks." Otazoidmon agreed.

"No problem." A.J. nodded.

"O.K. Cooks' workroom, anybody else please leave." Misterim politely requested.

Otazoidmon; Ememon; Zonemon, and Starspark, in Otazoidmon's arms, all left...

A.J. started cooking his omelet. Misterim pointed out some stuff when A.J. was serving it into plates. A.J. took his advise. He served it on the table and took Starspark from Otazoidmon. Slowly A.J. fed Starspark his serving that A.J. prepared for him. Starspark's eyes were still closed. Everyone complimented A.J. on a well done and delicious dish.

"What do you call it?" Zonemon asked.

"Actonal Omelet." A.J. replied.

"It's good." Ememon nodded.

"What is it's ingredients?" Otazoidmon asked.

"Three raw eggs; some salt; cheese of any kind, three slices or pieces; bologna, one slice and some onion." A.J. replied.

"No milk? How does Starspark like it then?" Ememon asked.

"Kittens and cats in general like eggs." A.J. explained.

Misterim finished up his serving.

"We'll leave the dish washing to your soul-warriors." Misterim remarked.

"What about me and you?" A.J. asked.

"Starspark can stay with Otazoidmon, who's relieved of it. Ememon, would you kindly wake Lunal up for his serving, before it gets cold? Thanks. I'll teach you how to dance like a master, before I die anyway." Misterim explained.

Ememon left to wake Lunal up.

"I know how to dance." A.J. remarked.

"Do you know how to tap dance? Fast dance? Country Dance?" Misterim asked.

A.J. blinked.

"I rest my case." Misterim smiled...

Previously on Storms of Myths:

A.J. here, we entered the Midnight Rastiro and my personal sailor journey begun. I and my soul-warriors' first destination was Myths Village. When we arrived, Straymon was there wrecking havoc and killing embryos. My soul-warriors decided to battle him, all except Lunal. During the fight I heard a meow of a kitten and saw one cornered by fire. I saved it and it became mine. It was a male, which I named Starspark. Equalmon is left behind to warn us of Straymon's return. Our next destination: Misterim's Quarters. On with the conclusion...

Night was closing in and whether he liked it or not, A.J. and his soul-warriors were lost in the forests. A.J. stopped his board, with both Lunal and Starspark sighing in relief. Otazoidmon; Ememon, and Zonemon stopped beside him.

"Why did you stop?" Ememon asked.

"I hate to admit it, but we're lost. It's foolish to continue on in the night; we'll just get lost more than we already are." A.J. sighed.

"So we set camp here?" Otazoidmon asked.

"No, not in the middle of the road. We'll camp deep in the forests." A.J. replied.

Ememon; Otazoidmon, and Zonemon all stared deep into the unknown forests. They gulped.

"It's the safest place." A.J. remarked, turning his board towards the depths of the forests.

"Lu!" Lunal cheered.

The forest was his home. Since Lunal was an owl, he knew his way around and knew how to track in the forest, even when its night and its pitch dark.

"Besides we have an excellent tracker with us." A.J. smiled, turning his eyes towards Lunal.

"Oh! We're so relived." Zonemon commented sarcastically.

"Another word out of you and we'll leave you behind!" A.J. hissed, warning.

Zonemon zipped his lips: animation style. Zonemon; Ememon, and Otazoidmon turned their boards towards the forest. The four of them blasted into the forest. Ememon was an owl, but he kept quiet about being able to navigate at night, especially in a forest. It had seemed to him that A.J. had completely forgot about it...

It was getting darker and A.J. activated his flashlight that was part of his univice's abilities, it lighted the road ahead of them. Lunal told them when they were in a suitable place to make a camp. Lunal's eyes shone in the darkness. He flew to a nearby tree, looking over the camp. A.J.; Ememon; Zonemon, and Otazoidmon all stopped. They got off of their boards. They put their boards close by, leaning onto a tree.

A.J. took off his right glove; he put it under his board, holding his glove there. He ordered a camp-fire through his univice, while Zonemon; Ememon, and Otazoidmon sat around in a circle, taking their Andalus Bags off. A camp-fire appeared in the center, with stones surrounding it. A.J. lighted the wood with his new myths lighter.

Zonemon; Ememon; Otazoidmon, and A.J. set up their sleeping bags beside each other. They were placed at a safe distance from the camp-fire, but close enough for it to light it. Starspark climbed down A.J. and cuddled around himself on A.J.'s sleeping bag. A.J.; Zonemon; Ememon, and Otazoidmon went back to sitting around the camp-fire. Starspark felt safe with A.J. and his soul-warriors close by; he didn't fear anything.

A.J. and his three soul-warriors put down their Andalus Bags with their boards, leaning onto them. A.J. cooked some food with kitchen utensils. He had already put his lighter back into his bag. The food was cooking, and they were all comfy and warm.

"I guess its time each of us gets our league badge." A.J. started.

"Do you mean Islamic Andalus League?" Zonemon asked.

A.J. shook his head. "No. I mean our own league, the six of us including Equalmon: Feranin League?"

"Oh that league." Zonemon nodded.

"No. I don't like that name." Equalmon shook his head.

"I agree with Equalmon." Otazoidmon agreed.

"O.K. then, what do you suggest we name our league?" A.J. asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Hmm... Green Feather League?" Equalmon inquired.

A.J. blinked. "... I hate to admit it, but that sounds like a good name."

"I'm with it." Otazoidmon added.

"Is everyone O.K. with our league's name as "Green Feather League"?" A.J. inquired.

A.J.'s soul-warriors voiced their support one way or another for the name.

"One for each one of us. Just the six of us would be the members." A.J. explained.

"And you're the leader of course." Otazoidmon remarked.

"Actually no. I've thought of having Ememon leader of our league." A.J. decided, turning to Ememon.

Ememon blinked.

"So what do you say?" Zonemon asked.

"... I... I guess I'm O.K. with it." Ememon replied.

"Excellent. This would teach you some, if not all, leadership skills." A.J. explained.

"What about the badges?" Otazoidmon asked.

A.J. gave the badges out. He put on his. He put Starspark's on his bow, to the bow's right. He flipped one up to Lunal, who caught it with his wings. Lunal strapped the badge on himself.

"We need a guard, to warn us." Ememon decided.

"Lu!" Lunal replied, raising his right wing.

"O.K. Lunal would be it." Ememon sighed.

"Will we take turns?" Zonemon asked.

Ememon shook his head. "No, we won't."

"That I like. I'm starting to like you being the league's leader Ememon." Otazoidmon smiled.

They ate their dinner. Lunal came down and ate with them, out of his plate. He flew back up to his branch when he was done. A.J. dealt with doing the dishes.

"I guess we retire for the night." Ememon yawned.

"I'm with that choice." Otazoidmon yawned.

A.J. put the utensils away and cuddled up in his sleeping bag. Starspark cuddled up next to him, close to his neck on the left side. Ememon; Zonemon, and Otazoidmon cuddled up into their own sleeping bags. Soon, all four were fast asleep. After half an hour Lunal's eyes started closing slowly. Lunal jerked them open, realizing what was happening. He eventually surrounded to sleep on the branch.

A.J. thought that he was through with having dreams of him and Helen but that was untrue, this night proofing it because he had one, a nice but strange one at the same time...

A droplet of water woke A.J. up from his slumber. He sat up in his sleeping bag.

"Zonemon!" He growled.

Zonemon sat up in his sleeping bag, rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"What?" He asked, yawning.

A.J. blinked, another droplet fell on his face. He looked up at the sky. It was morning, but there were wolf clouds in the sky and it was starting to drizzle. The camp-fire was out. Lunal; Starspark; Ememon, and Otazoidmon woke up from the feeling of water on their faces. It started pouring. A.J. got out of his sleeping bag in a rush, putting Starspark under his shirt. He put his sleeping bag into his Andalus Bag and he had the camp-fire vanish, sucking it into his univice.

He covered his univice with his right glove. Ememon; Otazoidmon, and Zonemon followed suit. Lunal flew down to A.J.'s left shoulder, covering his head with his wings. A.J. put his Andalus Bag over his back and hopped onto his board. He turned to his soul-warriors.

"You four can protect yourselves through the mystic suits." A.J. reminded.

Otazoidmon blinked. "Of course."

"We forgot." Ememon whispered.

Hastily, Lunal; Ememon; Otazoidmon, and Zonemon put on their helmets. A.J. stayed the way he was. He blasted off on his board with Zonemon; Ememon, and Otazoidmon behind him...

After some time, it was still raining, but A.J. and his soul-warriors had reached the main trail. They took it and stumbled upon an abandoned camp-fire. He used his univice to absorb the camp-fire into it. Lightning flashed and A.J. noticed a mosque not too far. He blinked, surprised to see one there. He shrugged.

'It's the best shelter for now.' He thought.

He remembered the time he was a baby and the time Tarek took him out for a walk, a walk A.J. never returned back to the Al-Jallad residence afterward. He could only imagine how Tarek returned. He headed towards the mosque with Zonemon; Ememon, and Otazoidmon in hot pursuit. A.J. had built a mystic suit for Otazoidmon, it was one of the first things A.J. did once he returned with Stan from their rescue journey.

On approaching the mosque, there were four minarets around it, one in each corner. A.J. could barely hear the Athan or call of prayer from the mosque. His soul-warriors and Starspark could barely hear it as well. They had stopped for a few moments, listening to it while it was still raining. Once it was done, A.J. and his soul-warriors entered the mosque...

A.J. closed the entrance of the mosque behind him. He and his soul-warriors put their Andalus Bags and boards onto the wall, leaning against it. They all lowered their helmets. Starspark jumped out of A.J.'s shirt and landed gracefully onto the green carpeted floor. He shook himself from the water. Lunal flew to a bench and perched onto it, with his wings folded. A.J. saw a pulpit. He walked towards it. He looked up, staring into a dome.

The dome from the inside had all the names of Allah, all ninety-nine. There was a tape recorder playing Qur'an in the mosque, continuously on a low volume with a beautiful trance-taking voice.

"It's so peaceful in here." Otazoidmon whispered, staring around the large room.

"So quiet." Ememon added, whispering.

"So majestic." Zonemon sighed, closing his eyes.

Starspark went to a corner and cuddled around himself in it. He put his head on his paws and kept his eyes open, alert to the surroundings around him. A.J. took off his shoes and put them in the rightful place. Lunal stayed perched on his bench, comfy and relaxed.

"There must be a place to clean somewhere in here. It must be inside because I didn't see it outside." A.J. remarked.

He reached the other end of the mosque, passing the pulpit. He touched the wall and his univice completely shone its known and common color. A.J. moved his palm away and the wall slid to the right, opening. A.J. blinked.

'A secret room.' He thought.

"We'll stay here." Otazoidmon reminded.

A.J. nodded. "Have a pleasant nap."

The wall closed behind him...

A.J. looked around him. He saw all the crests: divine; light, and darkness ones. They were all shining in their respected colors. He saw his crest amongst them. His crest was always a mystery to him. He read what was below the crest of myths.

"This is the one of the most powerful crests in any dimension. Its keeper would hold the powers that no other humans have. He would control elements to some point and create his own attacks through them. He would have the Power of Thought ability and Soul ability along with Spirit evolving. Myths... Myths is the uniqueness of a person and how special he is. He is the only one who could have this crest. It's the crest of all crests. Its keeper should be of crescentian offspring. He would have more abilities other than those mentioned here. It is said mystically that the Keeper of Myths would enter this sacred room in the Myths Mosque. To be the Keeper of Myths, you should have all of the known light crests."

'Myths is the uniqueness of a person and how special he is. I am the only one who could have this crest. It's the crest of all crests.' A.J. thought.

He looked back at the crest. A.J. started reading the writing below the colored outlined light crests in his mind. They were shorter than Myths.

"Courage... To have courage is not only to be brave in every situation but also to face your fears and deal with them, even get over them. Being courageous could be in many different situations and ways."

"Friendship... Having friends to share your troubles and thoughts with. They could be other humans, like your family, friends, superiors or classmates; they could even be your own soul-warriors. True friends are always there for each other, for support and assurance."

"Love... The emotion that no one understands completely. Love can be in many different ways. Loving your sweetheart is different from loving your friends or family. Love is a strong powerful emotion that can make a person face unthinkable dangers and pass them with determination."

"Knowledge... To have knowledge is a power of the mind; power of logic, and power of imagination. With Knowledge, difficulties that can't be passed with strength can be passed with knowledge."

"Sincerity... To be sincere is one of the most sacred virtues. You would be respected, trusted and trusted with another person's object. To be sincere is to be honest and truthful in your talk and feelings."

"Reliability... The independence of one's self. Its self-discipline. It teaches the person that he or she could be useful and helpful when they're needed the most, no matter the difficulties or risks. It's being there for one who's in danger and helping them out of it."

"Hope... To be hopeful is another one of the most sacred virtues. It gives a person patience for the future and for what he or she wishes or wants badly. Hope is powerful. With it, a powerful ally is with you. Without it, you're doomed to fear; horror, and failure."

"Light... Sight is one of the most important senses in any creature. To help see, light shows the eyes what is around its environment. It can be a powerful and gentle ally, including a wise ally. Without it, you're lost and alone in darkness."

"Kindness... Kindness is being polite and goodly mannered to anyone, you need to be kind in a nice respectful way. Kindness is one of the most respected virtues."

"Conscience... Knowing what's right from wrong. If there's something wrong, try your best to correct but be aware, try to correct it in a lawful way and not wrong way."

"Justice... Two branches, there's light justice and darkness justice. Both are the same. To be just is to be fair and give the victim his or her rights against the attacker or unjust one. A judge alone would be right to deal with such cases. Always be just."

"Victory... It's a great reward gained in winning a battle, especially if one defeats an opponent stronger than him or her. Victory gives you self-confidence and trust in your fellow comrades."

A.J. nodded, reading all of it...

He went to a nearby laptop and started it. There were books around him with some medical supplies as well. He checked for info on cats and viceroys. He learned that cats, domestic cats, have special worms on their bodies that only can survive on them. The worms can easily get onto humans. Females of the human specie are the most vulnerable, as the cat's worms can make them sterile.

A.J. learned that there were shots to deal with the cat's worms. He learned about the viceroys. A fifth viceroy was considered fifth after the first four because as the tale says, there was a time when the treasury had money in it and the fifth viceroy looked for poor people to give them money, but there were no poor people in all his lands. A.J. learned of the viceroy room...

He turned the laptop off and went over the medical supplies.

A.J. gave himself a shot that had Crescentian Immunity written on it. A.J. was used to shots. He left the room and gave Starspark the Cleanse shot that would deal with his worms. He went back into the hidden room with his board and bag. He found an emerald coin that had the flag of Faith of Algeria engraved on it. The crest of myths was below it, barely showing. That was one side; on the other was an engraved lined owl...

A.J. looked at in a closet that had a glass window. Through it he saw the many types of Digivices and Charges. They were only copies and colored engravings; unusable.

They were normal Digivices; D-3s; D-Tectors; D-Scanners; Starvices; Travices; Taivices; Univices; Twivices, and many more. They were all the types of charges. With them were all the crests: divine; light, and darkness ones. All copies of course. The ones with tags had their crests below them but not in them. A.J. saw the copy of his crest: the crest of Myths. The symbol was suitable for A.J.'s personality and uniqueness.

There was another closet full with all types of weaponry from all the ages, including imaginative ones. The large ones like artillery; cannons, and tanks were small miniatures...

A.J. took his right glove off and put the coin in the univice, it easily slipped in. The univice shone its natural color for a few moments before fading away. The coin came out on the other side of the univice, unchanged. His univice was partially the mystic camera. A.J. carried his board by his side and his bag was on his back. He put the coin in a coin slot in the wall. Beside it was a door that led to the viceroy's room. The coin came out below with a string holding it.

A.J. put it around his neck and the door opened...

His mouth opened slightly upon seeing the sight of the room. It was beautiful, full with primitive weapons like swords and arrows. There were historical books and historical suits that the kings; viceroys, and leaders wore. There were also types of thrones they sat on. A.J. approached a small sealed chamber. There was one hole in it, a hand that extended inside that was made of rubber. A.J. put his right hand into it.

Instantly electric shocks went through his body, A.J. gritted his teeth, tolerating the pain. An artificial rainbow swirled around A.J.'s body, completely changing his uniform into a colorful beautiful suit, suitable for a leader. A.J.'s coin around his neck glowed the whole time. The electric shocks and artificial rainbow also gave him abilities that what the writing below myths mentioned and much more. A.J.'s pupils glowed temporarily green.

Real green hair was around A.J.'s hair at the rims. A.J.'s hair was clean, thick and reached to his shoulder blades. When it was all over, A.J. was wearing a complete full suit that was colorful with the colors that the Islamic Armies used. He retracted his hand, blinking. Only his cape and shoes were of owl feathers. An Islamic sheathed sword was to the right of A.J.'s belt. A.J. left the room with triumph, the coin's glowing faded away...

A.J. left the viceroy's room, the door closed behind him. A.J. took some of the medical supplies and put them in his bag. The information that was on the laptop was on A.J.'s univice. He walked into the front room of the mosque. The rainbow and electric shock had cleaned him for prayer. He prayed two rac'a's to Allah and woke his soul-warriors up. They were all surprised to see A.J. is such a colorful suit. Lunal went back onto A.J.'s left shoulder.

Starspark took his place on A.J.'s right shoulder. The rain had stopped. His soul-warriors gathered up their stuff and walked out of Myths Mosque with A.J. A.J. closed the doors behind him. The five started walking. A.J.'s badge was still in its place.

"Head into the unexpected!" Ememon started.

Their next and final destination for awhile was Misterim's Quarters. A.J. had learned a lot from Myths Mosque. He looked back at it while he walked, smiling...
