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:

Shooting Star here, in my cudilas in Emerald Mansion. The previous episodes have been interesting. Finally, I have gained all three mysterious charges Hyogamon spoke of and reunited them. Not only that, but we found a civilized town in the Realm of Charges, and by helping with the defense of the town, gained a valuable ally and army. It seems we'll take up shelter now in Resolve Town, to ponder our next move and to discover new information. I like the idea of a new starship, much less a biovesto one. I have the right idea for the flag and for the name. I wonder what new revelations lay ahead. On with the conclusion...

---

Unsurprisingly, the two young biovesto plants rapidly matured. One formed into a cabin-like shelter, while the other formed into a biovesto starship, before A.J.'s return with his soul-warrior copedam. The frame of the biovesto starship was amazing and with familiar forms from the outside. It had the nose of the beak of a woodpecker with two side wings, pointed ahead. The wings had the ownalis engines.

Inside was a small cargo bay with a few organic couches, a few beds close to the ceiling of the biovesto starship and a small room for toilet purposes. There were a few biovesto windows looking outwards. The light crept in through the back gate of the cargo bay. Even though organic, the gate was slid downwards reaching the grounds. Below the biovesto starship was three organic biovesto wheels, one each on each wing and the third below the beak of the biovesto starship.

There was another organic door which was closed. Behind it was the cockpit where the pilot piloted the biovesto starship. Nobody decided to enter the biovesto starship until Feranin League returned. However, Starspark and Lunal trudged into the biovesto starship and weren't harmed. Feranimon; Actonal Army; White Fox, and White Hulman didn't take any risks in trying to enter the biovesto starship.

Starspark climbed onto one of the couches and went straight to sleep, curled up. White Fox recognized the biovesto starship from before. The form was familiar from his past, with the form being an S-13, officially known as a Pecker Starship. There were two classes or types of Pecker Starships. One was Tsunami Class and the other was Ripple Class, with this Pecker being a Ripple Class.

"Well, if it isn't a Ripple Class Pecker. I haven't seen such an elegant starship in so long." A voice stated.

White Fox blinked and his eyes widened. He was alone, standing near the new pecker. The voice was familiar to him, but he hadn't heard it in so long. Besides, the source of the familiar voice could help him with his story. White Fox turned around and saw two figures: one was an owl on two legs with black feathers and the other was a lion with green fur on two legs. He gasped, with both figures approaching him.

"Shadow Owl... Alpha Lion." He whispered, smiling.

"We haven't seen you for so long White Fox." Shadow Owl greeted, reaching White Fox with Alpha Lion.

"... What are you guys doing here?" White Fox asked.

Alpha Lion shrugged. "Me and Shadow Owl took a personal assignment to search for you since you're valuable to Nova Alliance. I declare, I wouldn't have expected to come here and be stranded here with Shadow Owl." He sighed.

"... How's Yellow Deer?" White Fox asked.

Shadow Owl chuckled. "She's doing great and she misses you deeply. She said that if we came back without you, she'd kick us out of Nova Alliance."

White Fox blinked. "... No... Yellow Deer won't do that."

Alpha Lion blinked. "Hello! Yes she would! It seems you forgot her power; authority, and influence in the alliance." He reminded.

White Fox sweat-dropped. "... Of course. Well, you two found me anyway." He sighed.

"You and White Hulman are coming back with us." Shadow Owl remarked.

"What? How?" White Fox asked.

Alpha Lion pointed at the biovesto starship. "Why, through this pecker of course."

"Excuse me?" A voice asked.

The three Anihulmans turned around to be greeted by the panting Feranin League. A.J. was glaring at Alpha Lion. Alpha Lion gulped. White Fox eyed the mysterious charge in A.J.'s hand.

"You gained the last mysterious charge. Excellent." He stated.

A.J.'s eyes narrowed. "Just who are these two geeks?" He asked.

Alpha Lion growled. "We were wondering the same about you!"

Equalmon grinned. "Besides, you can try entering that pecker. We won't stop you."

A.J. jerked his head towards Equalmon and Equalmon glanced at him. Equalmon glanced at A.J. in a way reminding A.J. of who the starship would accept. He smiled and turned to the three Anihulmans. He shrugged.

"If you two want to take White Fox back, be my guest." He nodded, grinning.

Shadow Owl took his word and flew over towards the open cargo gate of the biovesto ship. The moment his talons touched the biovesto, Shadow Owl was blasted back into the air, away from the biovesto starship, landing behind Feranin League. Shadow Owl was a little disoriented from the sudden blast and slight electrocution. A.J. had his univice suck his mysterious charge back in it. Three flashes of dark green light showed from the univice.

Alpha Lion gasped and White Fox sighed.

"Alpha Lion; Shadow Owl: this is A.J. Actonal. He's one of the few remaining humans these days with crescentian blood and ancestry. Those with him are his soul-warrior copedam and this starship is a biovesto starship, with A.J.'s blood sample and his soul-warrior copedam data samples. We can't go into it. Considering the pecker, we're hostile creatures to it." White Fox explained.

Shadow Owl groaned, sitting up.

"Now you tell us." He moaned.

Alpha Lion's eyes went wide. "As in the legend back home?" He asked.

White Fox nodded. "Feranin League, these two are Shadow Owl and Alpha Lion; fellow Anihulman and two of my closest and best friends. I haven't seen these guys since I left Anihuleph." He introduced.

Otazoidmon and Ememon turned around and stared at Shadow Owl curiously. Equalmon and Zonemon kept alert on Alpha Lion. Shadow Owl got back onto his feet.

"Does he know our tale?" Shadow Owl asked.

White Fox sighed. "After he has had a look in his pecker and home; I was planning for him on coming to my residence and telling him our tale then. You two must be exhausted from the long journey."

"It wasn't as long as you think." Alpha Lion stated.

Feranin League went into the pecker and they were safe; the biovesto starship didn't harm them. A.J. and his four soul-warrior copedam took a quick look around the biovesto starship, then around their biovesto cabin. While in the pecker, Feranin League noticed both Lunal and Starspark sleeping in it...

---

Starspark and Lunal were left in A.J.'s biovesto pecker. A.J.; Otazoidmon; Zonemon; Equalmon, and Ememon were all back in White Fox's biovesto residence, with Shadow Owl and Alpha Lion. White Hulman had taken Shadow Owl's and Alpha Lion's blood samples, to inject them into an embryo biovesto plant. Once done, White Hulman left White Fox's home, to select a location for Shadow Owl's and Alpha Lion's new home and shelter, since it seemed they'd be staying for awhile.

"Before we start on the tale, let's check on the forms you're soul-warrior copedam would have with the numerous charges. Shall we?" White Fox asked.

"I don't mind." A.J. replied.

Shadow Owl and Alpha Lion kept silent. White Fox nodded and suddenly a hologram appeared a few inches above the circular biolure table. A hologram of the codelimin appeared, with the information below it. For the charged copedam, there was the copedam and the charge, being smaller than the copedam, beside it, with the information below them. The hologram changed through blurring into the next hologram.

No matter the side you looked from, it would be the same; readable, and understandable. The information passed at a pace where A.J. and White Fox could read it at a steady pace. Shadow Owl and Alpha Lion weren't interested, where as A.J.'s four soul-warrior copedam preferred to change into the forms. A.J.'s four soul-warrior copedam didn't want to spoil their surprise or excitement in changing into one of the charge forms.

A.J. and White Fox read the information in their minds.

"Myths and... Destiny for Equalmon. Those two charges I have for him." A.J. confirmed.

"Equalmon sure does have quite strong charge forms." White Fox noted.

"You know, he is the oldest soul-warrior copedam of Feranin League and the oldest copedam in Crescent League." A.J. grinned.

Equalmon snorted.

"Shuttlemon." A.J. whispered.

"Comet has the most charges. Strange." White Fox muttered.

"What are these 'Justice'; 'Conscience' and 'Victory' charges? This is the second time. What's Bio Otamon?" A.J. questioned.

'That's some research for me to do." White Fox sighed.

"Comet has myths; miracles; atmosphere and survival. The most so far." A.J. stated.

'The others are interesting, including Briskmon: Otazoidmon's charge of Goodness form. I guess if I ever get those charges for Comet, we'd have to find out his attacks after he evolves to them.' A.J. thought, sensing Otazoidmon reading his mind.

A.J. remained quiet about it though, and let Otazoidmon read his mind.

"Let's check with Zonemon." White Fox decided.

"There it is again." A.J. sighed.

'Bristle also has a charge of tranquility form...' A.J. thought.

"Yeah. Comet prevailed. How many of Zonemon's charges do you have?" White Fox asked.

"Myths; reliability, and deepness." A.J. replied.

"We're going to our cabin. We'll be waiting for you there." Ememon decided, standing up.

"Finally." Zonemon sighed.

"Don't you want to hear our tale?" Shadow Owl asked.

"Shooting Star can tell it to us when he comes back." Otazoidmon stated, stretching out.

With that, Ememon took the lead as he left White Fox's home, followed by Equalmon; Zonemon, and Otazoidmon. Shadow Owl; Alpha Lion; White Fox, and A.J. were the ones left in the room...

---

"Now to our tale." Alpha Lion sighed.

White Fox nodded. "I know you'll like this. Who wants to start?"

"Why don't you start first?" Shadow Owl asked.

White Fox shrugged. "Very well then. Here we go." He started.

"From where we come from, there are five species: us Anihulmans; Neutronese; Planetene; Cometous and Solartan. As you've seen with the three of us: White Fox; Alpha Lion, and Shadow Owl, Anihulmans are hybrid kind of specie; half animals-half humans. About five thousand years ago, there are tales that say that humans were able to combine with their animals, while some just bred." White Fox started.

Shadow Owl held up his hand, indicating for White Fox to stop, which White Fox did.

"I'll continue on." Shadow Owl decided.

"That's somewhat half true. Like a male fox breeding with a female human, or a female fox breeding with a male human etc. However, I; White Fox, and Alpha Lion, along with most of our kind, are one unique specie in ourselves. Anyway, the four others White Fox mentioned are all aliens: Neutronese; Planetene; Cometous, and Solartan. Planetene and Cometous liked and adored us Anihulmans.

"Because of that the three species formed an alliance, which the three species all calling it or titling it: Nova Alliance. Our flag is quite a site. Black is the background, considering the space we lived in with two green outlined crescents close to hugging the Nova Alliance crest. Neutronese and Solartan were both offered alliance with the rest of us, but they stubbornly refused. I and White Fox lived at that time.

"I don't think Alpha Lion remembers this. At first, both Neutronese and Solartan stayed isolated from each other and from Nova Alliance. Both specie were naturally greedy and they tried to individually fight Nova Alliance alone, with every attempt repelled by the alliance. One of the Nova Alliance's starships is the pecker which you have out there. Of course, the pecker we have isn't biovesto or organic." Shadow Owl finished.

Alpha Lion sighed. "The last part for me. How typical. Here it goes. Please White Fox and Shadow Owl, don't try to correct me. I can do this."

"Neutronese lived in tribes and its strongest tribe was named Neutron Tribe. The others tribes of Neutronese allowed Neutron Tribe to lead the rest of them. Like Neutronese, Solartan also lived in tribes and its strongest tribe was named Black Worms. Unlike the other tribes of Neutronese allowing Neutron Tribe to lead them, Black Worms of Solartan led the rest of the tribes against their wills and lived in Black Holes.

"Solartan is alien specie; not a tan from the solar sun. Nova Alliance didn't have any rogues or rebels that I know of. The three species of Nova Alliance are free to go into each other's space territories. No trouble is in space of none of the three species because all three make sure that their space territory are safe. After Solartan, along with Neutronese, saw their own weakness, they sought alliance with each other.

"The new alliance consisted of Neutronese and Solartan, with Neutron Tribe in control and Black Worms being in second-in-command. The two species announced the new alliance, naming it 'Tunnel Alliance'. From then on, in neutral space, was chaos, with Tunnel Alliance attacking Nova Alliance starships and Nova Alliance attacking Tunnel Alliance starships. Neutral space was between the galaxies.

"Since Tunnel Alliance was able to attack Nova Alliance starships, it was apparent that Tunnel Alliance had their own starships, different from Nova Alliance starships of course. Even though the five specie were now in alliance one way or another, each specie still had its own crest or flag to tell them from each other. At first Nova Alliance didn't have heavy combat starships, allowing Tunnel Alliance to become the first to have such starships.

"To neutralize the Tunnel Alliance having heavy combat starships, with them also attacking conveys that was protected or belonged to Nova Alliance, Nova Alliance started building its own heavy combat starships. Of course, each specie had its own designs of starships, depending on what resources the alliances had. We Anihulmans had our own starships, with one of them being the pecker, both Tsunami and Ripple classes.

"Planetene and Cometous had their own designs and starships for themselves also. What made the starships of Nova Alliance familiar? It was the crest marked on every starships we Anihulmans; Planetene, and Cometous all had... That's all I can think of." Alpha Lion shrugged, finishing his history lecture.

"What about this Yellow Deer? Also the assignment?" A.J. asked.

White Fox smiled. "Yellow Deer is literally my sweetheart and mate. It's a mutual thing between the two of us."

"The assignment is another history lesson and how, we, Anihulmans met the other four species are history lessons in themselves." Shadow Owl stated.

"... I guess I'll need to search for the rest of my charges now. After all, this is the Realm of Charges. I'm heading back to my biovesto cabin first." A.J. decided, standing up.

"I'll accompany you and wait outside." Shadow Owl decided.

A.J. shrugged. "You're welcome to come along."

"Before you go: How did you know about the assignment and Yellow Deer?" Alpha Lion asked.

"I overheard the three of you, as did my soul-warrior copedam. We didn't announce ourselves until I spoke, but we basically showed up with you two approaching White Fox." A.J. explained.

"We'll tell you of the assignment and our discovery of the other four species some other time." Shadow Owl decided, standing up.

A.J. and Shadow Owl left White Fox's home, leaving Alpha Lion and White Fox behind.

"Which charge do you think he'll go after first?" Alpha Lion asked.

"His charges of courage." White Fox replied.

"Which charges are next?" Alpha Lion asked.

"His charges of friendship. Why?" White Fox asked.

Alpha Lion raised an eyebrow. White Fox's eyes widened. He shook his head.

"Don't tell me you're planning to go after them?" He questioned.

Alpha Lion grinned. "Why not? I'd like to help the legend out. Besides, my offer of taking his ripple class pecker was rude and I want to make it up with A.J. Where are the charges of friendship?" He asked.

"You can't carry all four charges by yourself." White Fox declared.

Alpha Lion shrugged. "Then help me out here White Fox. Give me a bag or something." He requested.

White Fox sighed, defeated...

---

A.J. walked into his biovesto cabin, while Shadow Owl decided to wait outside for him patiently. A.J. found his soul-warrior copedam in the diner room. His soul-warrior copedam all seemed to be content and full, with empty dishes in front of them all. A.J. kept silent, noticing that his soul-warrior copedam left their guards down. A burp escaped from Zonemon, who quickly covered his mouth.

"Excuse me." He muttered.

The three other soul-warrior copedam laughed. A.J. groaned; being hungry himself. It didn't matter, he'd have his full of food and rest when he returned with his charges of courage.

"Well, well. You four decided to eat without me then, right?" A.J. asked, announcing himself.

The four soul-warrior copedam jumped, startled by A.J.'s sudden announcement. All four sweat-dropped upon seeing A.J.: with his arms folded and tapping his right foot on the biovesto floor. Zonemon smiled sheepishly.

"... Hey Paladin. How was the history lesson?" He asked.

A.J. rolled his eyes. "You all know the story. I know because I sensed the four of you probing my mind! You four listened with me!" He hissed.

Zonemon gulped. "Well..." He started.

"There's no excuse to what we did." Equalmon interrupted.

"We're sorry." Ememon apologized.

A.J. grinned and stopped tapping his foot. He unfolded his arms and smiled.

"We're off to get our charges of courage and only Zonemon is coming with me. Since all four of you were probing my mind since before the moment I entered this shelter of ours, you all know of Shadow Owl waiting outside. I want this place to be clean when I come back." He remarked.

Ememon; Equalmon, and Otazoidmon all groaned. Zonemon got up from his seat and walked over to A.J.

"Where are we going for the charges of courage?" Zonemon asked.

"Croland territory. You remember that area were there was only lava flows and a lone pillar in the midst of it?" A.J. asked.

Zonemon moaned. "Too well! We're going there again?" He asked.

A.J. nodded. "The most perfect spot for fire charges." He informed.

Otazoidmon sighed. "I won't want to be in your boots now Zonemon."

A.J. narrowed his eyes. "Remember you three; this biovesto shelter clean!" He reminded.

"Or what?" Equalmon dared to ask.

A.J. shook his head. "Believe me, you won't want to know. It's that harsh."

"We'll have it clean by the time you return Shooting Star." Ememon sighed.

A.J. nodded. "Good. Let's go Zonemon."

With that, A.J. and Zonemon left, leaving Ememon; Equalmon, and Otazoidmon behind to clean up after themselves.

"From now, I'm out of this cleaning. I'm not in shape to clean up." Equalmon reminded.

Ememon and Otazoidmon glared at Equalmon...

---

Outside, A.J.'s univice glowed green. Zonemon went transparent.

"ZONEMON CREVOLVE..."
"... CENTERMON!"

"Archive Twinkler!" A.J. yelled.

A.J.'s mystic suit covered his body up, but A.J. kept his face uncovered.

"Where to?" Shadow Owl asked.

"To Croland territory. Just follow us." A.J. explained.

He floated off of the ground and with Centermon on the ground, both took the lead towards the dark land of the Crolands. Shadow Owl took the rear, following A.J. and Centermon. A.J. was flying with his jet activated and Centermon was galloping on the ground, with Shadow Owl flapping his wings in midair behind A.J. Soaring low through the highlands, just in an altitude high enough to avoid crashing into the hills, A.J. realized something.

Behind him Shadow Owl was flapping his wings, doing good in keeping up with A.J. Below, Centermon first seemed far then close and so on. A.J. had his jet going at a steady pace, so that Shadow Owl and Centermon -especially Centermon- could keep up with him.

'What did White Fox mean? He knew Misterim for a long time, yet Misterim said...' A.J. paused, trying to recall what Misterim told him.

'... No matter. Thinking back that far... a lot of the stuff I wore then has vanished, perhaps since I woke up for the last time in that starship.' He thought.

Sensing the heat of the nearby lava flows, A.J. returned back to reality. He stopped in midair, recognizing himself being in croland territory and landed down on the cracked dry arid ground. Ash flew through the air for a moment from A.J.'s landing. He glanced behind him and Shadow Owl landed behind him. In the distance, an ash cloud was approaching, indicating that Centermon was close. A.J. turned his head around, staring down into the lava.

"Are we here?" Shadow Owl asked.

Feeling some action from his univice below his suit, A.J. nodded, assured of the charges of courage being close.

"From what I can sense, they're all in the lava flow down." A.J. informed.

Behind them, Centermon stopped and sweat-dropped, hearing A.J.'s comment. He moaned, approaching Shadow Owl and A.J.

"Don't tell me we're going down there?" He asked.

A.J. shook his head and Centermon sighed in relief.

"I'm going down there." A.J. corrected.

Centermon's eyes widened. Shadow Owl kept neutral, unfazed by A.J.'s decision. Activating his jet pack, A.J. blasted into the atmosphere, over the lava flow. Almost immediately, by hovering over in midair high above the lava flow, four pillars of fire erupted from the lava flows and went straight up towards A.J. Inches away, the flames disappeared and under the mystic suit, A.J.'s Univice of Myths beckoned the four charges and they were sucked in.

His main job complete, A.J. went back to Centermon and Shadow Owl. He sighed.

"Four charges of courage I have now." He informed.

Shadow Owl nodded. "That's a first step in proving yourself to me and Alpha Lion, or to me at least." He grinned.

A.J. blinked. "What? You don't believe that I'm... uh... What would you call it?" He asked.

Shadow Owl chuckled. "See? You still need to prove yourself A.J."

"Please tell me we're heading back to our shelter now." Centermon requested.

A.J. nodded. "Back to Resolve Town it is. Besides, I need to have some sleep; food, and bath." He stated.

Taking to the air once more, A.J. activated his jet pack and blasted off, with Shadow Owl flapping his wings behind. Below them, Centermon kept track of them on the ground. Once again, A.J. kept his jet pack at a steady pace, for Centermon to keep up with them, and for him not to have to make an effort to keep up...

---

The three companions returned to Resolve Town safely. Upon landing, Shadow Owl walked off.

"I'm off to White Fox's. I want to find out if my and Alpha Lion's shelter is done. Until later... um... legend." Shadow Owl smiled, waving.

He disappeared in the distance and A.J. sighed in relief.

'I have a feeling I'm going to sigh a lot these days.' He thought.

He had Twinkler go back into his univice and his normal outfit appeared, with it being the same since before Paladin of Darkness crashed: a green t-shirt and black shorts. Centermon went transparent green and shrunk back in Zonemon.

"Let's see how they're doing." A.J. suggested.

Zonemon nodded. He realized then by A.J. taking him, he indirectly escaped the cleaning up. He blinked for a moment, before following A.J. into the biovesto cabin...

---

A.J. found the place clean. He found Otazoidmon and Ememon sleeping in their beds, with Ememon sleeping in a way that wouldn't injure his wings or tail. Equalmon was there and he opened his eyes sleepily. He saw A.J. and Zonemon. Zonemon immediately went to his own bed and dozed off to sleep. Equalmon smiled weakly and A.J. noticed it, through probing Equalmon's mind for a few moments.

When all four were dozed off to sleep, A.J. went to the bathroom. He took a bath for a few hours; cleaning, and refreshing himself. After that, he put on a dark green robe and had his clothes washed in the kitchen. Only wearing his robe, A.J. went to his room and dozed off to sleep in his bed...

---

Alpha Lion returned to White Fox's home. Shadow Owl and White Fox were there waiting for him. Alpha Lion was sweating and he was panting.

"Trouble?" Shadow Owl asked...

Alpha Lion nodded and put down the biovesto bag White Fox gave to him. White Fox raised his eyebrow.

"I see you still got all four charges of friendship." He noted.

Alpha Lion nodded. "I sure did, and it wasn't as easy as I thought. Though I decided I won't come back until I gained them. I'll leave them here until A.J. shows up, that's if it's O.K. with you White Fox."

White Fox shrugged. "Fine with me."

Shadow Owl stood up. "Come with me. Now that you're back, let's go see our shelter."

"It's done?" Alpha Lion asked.

Shadow Owl nodded. "Yep and White Hulman showed me where he planted it."

Alpha Lion sighed. "Settling down so quickly... I'm not complaining, because I need the rest and recovery myself, before I go out for another run at A.J.'s charges."

White Fox immediately stood up. "What?" He bellowed.

Shadow Owl sweat-dropped. Alpha Lion chuckled.

"Surely you don't think that A.J. would accept my apology with just gaining one type of charges for him, now would you?" Alpha Lion asked.

White Fox sweat-dropped. "Whatever." He muttered, sitting back down in his organic seat.

Alpha Lion and Shadow Owl walked out of the house, leaving White Fox alone with his thoughts. Silently, White Hulman walked into White Fox's Study and White Fox sensed him, with his eyes closed. He kept silent and White Hulman knew that White Fox knew of his presence in the room...

Previously on Storms of Myths:

Equalmon here. A.J. was informed about the possible existence of the mysterious crests. From the mysterious charges, for each one A.J. had acquired, there were two crests, with the crest of myths apparent. The other two mysterious crests we figured out, depending on which mysterious charge was shown. AJmon left Dune Desert and we entered the highlands. We came across a town in the highlands and were surprised to see it, but decided to rest there for awhile. We were introduced to White Hulman and White Fox. It turned out that the whole town was made of Biovesto, an organic building growing material, just like the Emerald Mansion. We were introduced to Feranimon and it turned out that there were other Otazoidmon other than Comet. Feranimon had just returned with his army: Actonal Army, from raiding the crolands territory. A male gnome rushed in and without any words, Feranimon rushed out, knowing the problem. From the gnome, we found out about the crolands attacking Resolve Town, as was the town's title. We rushed to help out, but Emeraldmon stayed behind to regain his energy. White Fox also helped out and with the joint might of Feranin League; White Fox, and Actonal Army, the invaders were driven back with heavy casualties on their side. We found out that they won't come back and Resolve Town was safe. Other than Feranin League and Actonal Army, there wasn't any other codelimin in the town, with the rest of the populace being from different species. Through White Fox, A.J. had gained his Digi-Eggs of Myths and his own army, as Actonal Army allied with Feranin League, yet staying separate. We still have one more mysterious charge to gain. I wonder if White Fox knows why the mysterious charges, much less the mysterious crests, are so 'mysterious', so to speak. On with the conclusion...

---

"Speaking of charges, I have a few questions to ask about some 'mysterious' charges." A.J. informed.

White Fox lent back into his seat thoughtfully.

"How many mysterious charges have you acquired?" Feranimon asked.

"Only two." Zonemon replied.

"Which ones?" White Fox asked.

"Atmosphere and Deepness." Ememon replied.

"So you still need survival. It's the toughest to get." Feranimon informed.

"Why is that?" Equalmon asked.

"You'll all have to go through space, literally, to get it." White Fox replied.

"No problem there. We'll just use our..." Zonemon started.

Feranimon glared at him. "No problem there? You don't know what you're talking about. Crolands are naturally adapted to space and space is there territory!"

"... But didn't you say that you led Actonal Army on a successful raid into Croland territory?" Otazoidmon asked.

"Land, not space." Feranimon informed.

"Back to the mysterious charge. What's so 'mysterious' about them?" A.J. asked.

White Fox shook his head. "Nobody knows. I don't know. I... would assume they have 'mysterious' abilities or powers, being stronger than normal charges. Being 'mysterious' is why they're mysterious." He explained.

"But you're sure that they have powers and abilities different from normal charges." A.J. stated.

"Not different, but stronger; more advanced; more updated. Call it what you like." White Fox corrected.

"So it's up to us to find out what their powers are?" Equalmon asked.

"I'm afraid so." White Fox nodded.

"One thing's for sure: The mysterious charges won't show their advanced powers until: 1. All three are reunited and 2... They trust you Feranin League." Feranimon informed.

"You're talking like if they're intelligent." Ememon noted.

"Oh, they are. The charges all have their own powers and their own story. But the mysterious charges were different and are more intelligent than normal charges." White Fox confirmed.

"Do you know the story?" Otazoidmon asked.

White Fox shook his head. "All I know is that they existed during the early years after the creation of the Digital World. As for their own stories, well... There's only tales and myths, maybe even legends about them, but I can't confirm any of them."

"None of us can, because none of us lived at that time." Feranimon added.

"What about the five sovereigns?" Equalmon asked.

White Fox and Feranimon shrugged.

"They weren't always in touch with the events of the digital world, and let's not forget about Azulongmon's hibernation or isolation in the Eastern Quadrant." White Fox informed.

"So... the sovereigns are losing touch with each other." A.J. concluded.

Feranimon nodded. "Yes. They aren't sharing information with each other about the events that occur in each quadrant they guard. Besides, they do inform Hybromon, but Hybromon didn't live in the early years after the Digital World's creation." He explained.

Everybody quieted down and silence roamed as everyone went into their own thoughts.

"... How do we get to the survival charge? Surviving through space is our ordeal, but what's the route?" Equalmon asked.

"You'll need to go deep in the croland territory. First go through the land and the land itself is hard, with numerous obstacles built by the crolands. When you reach space, you'll all reach it suddenly. The crolands might attack, but seeing your survival for this town in that last battle, I'm sure you'll all make it just fine." Feranimon informed.

"You or Actonal Army won't accompany us?" Zonemon asked.

Feranimon shook his head. "It's not our territory and we'll definitely attract croland attention." He explained.

"So the battle is official then. May we come back here after we... um... 'capture' the survival charge?" A.J. asked.

"The battle is the last for Resolve Town and it's officially called the Battle of Resolve Town. Feranin League is welcome to return to Resolve Town. When you leave, we'll have some biovesto grow for you in Resolve Town, as your own private residence. What kind of shelter it'll form? I have no idea." White Fox explained.

"It'll be nice to settle down after losing our starship." Ememon muttered.

White Fox blinked. "Starship? What starship?" He inquired.

"The starship the deceased Coach Misterim Arteenlow had. A crescentian starship." A.J. informed.

"... Misterim is... dead?" Feranimon asked.

A.J. sighed. "Yes. We buried him ourselves."

"What was the cause of his death?" Feranimon asked.

"Not battle wounds. It was just his time to die I guess." A.J. replied.

"Normal sudden death." White Fox whispered.

A.J. nodded. "Yes. He died in his sleep." He confirmed.

"Were you related to Misterim in anyway?" Equalmon asked.

White Fox sighed. "We were close friends; not related in anyway. He was a crescentian and I'm part of the Anihulman specie."

"Did you know of me being crescentian, with crescentian ancestry?" A.J. asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I would think so. It isn't surprising. Such defense and abilities don't come from normal humans. Your battle skills prove that you're of crescentian blood... It's a shame that starship was destroyed." White Fox muttered.

"It was through the starship, which I called Paladin of Darkness, that we found the location of the mysterious charge of atmosphere, and not far was the mysterious charge of deepness." A.J. informed.

"Would you do me a favor?" White Fox asked.

A.J. nodded. "Sure."

"We'll also grow a starship for you while you're away. We'll need a blood sample, so that the biovesto starship would listen to you and be loyal to you. Though, name the biovesto starship something different from 'Paladin of Darkness'. Also, have a flag on it, to which side it is on. The favor is... to erect something in Meric Land in Misterim's behalf. I know he wants to stay here and wouldn't want to be buried there, but build or grow something there in his name." White Fox requested.

A.J. sighed. "Like a monument or something... I'll keep it in mind." He assured.

"We'll also need some 'data samples' from Equalmon; Zonemon; Comet, and Ememon here, so they'll be able to pilot the biovesto starship with you." Feranimon added.

"Data samples?'" Equalmon asked.

"How can you get such things?" Zonemon asked.

"With them, whatever form you're in, you'll be able to pilot the biovesto starship. You can get it as easily as a blood sample from humans." White Fox informed.

"I'm up with a 'data sample'." Otazoidmon decided.

"I'm fine with it too." Ememon agreed.

"Look at me! How can I pilot a starship, much less anything else?" Equalmon asked.

"'Whatever form you're in'. When you want to pilot the starship, A.J. would have you evolve into a form that's bipedal." Feranimon reminded.

Equalmon sweat-dropped. "Like Deep Techamon." He moaned.

"You have a charge of destiny?" White Fox asked.

"Yeah. From Grasl Pole. We found out about the mysterious charges from a Hyogamon there." Zonemon informed.

"White Hulman! Five sample tubes please! One for human blood and the other four for data!" White Fox yelled.

No reply came back, but White Fox knew White Hulman heard him.

"What about utensils: like a knife or something?" A.J. asked.

"White Hulman would also bring the necessary tools for withdrawing blood and data." White Fox replied.

"... By the way, there's a story I want to tell you all, but I'll tell it after you all return." He decided.

"N.A.?" Feranimon asked.

White Fox nodded. Feranimon nodded and laid his head back into the comfy pillow of the seat. White Hulman came out, carrying five tubes. All five were organic biovesto and all five had caps, but four had holes under them. The five tubes were in the test tube container, which was a laboratory utensil, which held test tubes in it. White Hulman was also holding some sort of a pincher utensil. A.J. sweat-dropped.

"Is there something here that isn't grown in biovesto?" A.J. inquired.

"What-What are the holes for?" Zonemon asked.

"The holes are to suck a certain amount of data out of you. You see, digital data and biovesto are so close in relation, that when taking a certain amount of data into some biovesto container, the biovesto would know how much amount to take. Your wound would quickly and automatically heal when the biovesto tube has the necessary data and the bottom hole of the tube itself would seal." White Fox explained, ignoring A.J.'s inquiry.

First White Hulman pinched one of A.J.'s fingers. A drop of A.J.'s blood dropped, but White Hulman was ready and the drop dripped into the open biovesto test tube. White Hulman closed the test tube, and put it in the test tube container. The small pinch instantly healed. Next were his soul-warrior copedam.

Just like White Fox said, White Hulman pinched the soul-warrior copedam one by one and, with the bottom of the test tube being above, data was sucked into the test tube and with the necessary amount, the hole at the bottom of the test tube was sealed, as were the wounds being healed. With the samples taken, White Hulman gathered up the test tubes, put them in the test tubes' container and went into another room. A.J. stood up.

"We'll be going now." He decided.

"For the third mysterious charge?" White Fox asked, smiling.

A.J. nodded. He motioned his soul-warrior copedam to follow.

"Please take care of Lunal and Starspark until we return and we will return. Explain to Lunal our absence." A.J. informed.

"We will." White Fox nodded.

With that, A.J. and his four soul-warrior copedam walked out of White Fox's home. Out on the highlands, A.J. glanced at both Equalmon and Ememon.

"We're both ready." Equalmon nodded.

"As AJmon, I'll be able to navigate to croland territory and to space." Ememon informed.

A.J. sighed. "Let's do this."

The univice glowed. Both Equalmon and Ememon went transparent green, activating the evolution.

"Dicrenol! Golden Destiny!" A.J. yelled, releasing and activating Equalmon's destiny charge.

"Dicrenol! Charge Initiate!" A.J. yelled, releasing and activating Ememon's goodness charge.

"EQUALMON CHARGE!"
"... DEEP TECHAMON! Mythical Destiny."

"EMEMON CHARGE!"
"... AJMON! The Flyer of Goodness."

A.J. mounted AJmon, along with Deep Techamon; Zonemon, and Otazoidmon. With all of them mounted on him, AJmon took to the sky and flew away from Resolve Town...

---

AJmon flew in the opposite direction he came from, and indeed it appeared that after several minutes of flying, they had all entered croland territory. It was still land though. The land was dry arid; black, and cracked, with ravines in numerous sizes in different locations. There were what appeared to be biovesto caverns with one entrance and one room and so far, there were no crolands in sight. The sky was crackling with red clouds and flashing black lightning. There was no thunder.

"So this is croland territory." Deep Techamon observed.

"Apparently." Zonemon agreed.

"I guess we won't have any trouble with the obstacles now." Otazoidmon reminded.

"Yeah. With me flying and all." AJmon agreed.

"Not if they have atmosphere obstacles." Deep Techamon warned.

AJmon sweat-dropped. "... For my sake, let's hope not."

A.J. kept silent, alert to any land movements or any possible sudden unwanted croland attention.

"... What is it with what you wanted to tell me? Something about Actonal Army?" Otazoidmon asked.

"Nothing much. It's just that they want to join us. Since the threat of crolands attacking Resolve Town is over, they wanted to join us when we return to Meric Land." A.J. replied.

"Feranimon?" Otazoidmon asked.

"An army! An actual army! With its own land forces and air force." Zonemon informed.

Otazoidmon nodded. "So Feranimon is the leader of Actonal Army?"

"Do you have to ask when it's apparent?" Zonemon asked.

Otazoidmon sweat-dropped. "Sorry, but I wanted to be sure." He explained.

"... Just one problem." Deep Techamon informed.

"One problem? For what?" A.J. asked.

"Your dream first of all and second, considering your dream: how are you going to bring Actonal Army to Meric Land?" Deep Techamon questioned.

A.J. sweat-dropped. "You all know about my dream in the school with Helen?" He asked.

Zonemon chuckled. "Ah yeah! And honestly, you were being a jerk." He stated.

A.J. narrowed his eyes. "I'm not entering your minds anymore so please stay out of mine... Well, I guess you all know this is some sort of a dream? I don't understand it myself."

"The thing is before we all joined you, we can confirm what Helen told you. The last thing we remember before entering this world was dozing off in your cudilas in Emerald Mansion, Meric Land." AJmon confirmed.

"... How are we going to deal with the space... um... environment?" Deep Techamon asked.

"I'll use Twinkler. I haven't used him in awhile. Besides, Twinkler has an ownalis jet which would allow me to navigate through croland space. I don't know about the rest of you." A.J. informed.

"We'll be using mystic auras and in flying forms." Zonemon decided.

"I was in the same area of thought." Otazoidmon agreed.

"I'm with that also." Deep Techamon added.

"I'm going to stay in this form of mine." AJmon decided.

"Duh! This form of yours is a flying form..." Zonemon trailed off upon glancing below them.

His eyes went wide. "That's definitely one of the obstacles!" He exclaimed.

Feranin League glanced downwards and all of them paled. Below them was a canyon and instead of a flowing river, it was a flowing lava river.

"... I guess so." A.J. muttered, slightly nervous.

"Did you have to tell us Bristle! I mean, Allah! Now if we aren't stable or secure enough on AJmon then down we'll drop! Thank you very much Mr. Bristle!" Deep Techamon yelled.

"Shhh! Do you want to grab croland attention?" A.J. asked, whispering.

Deep Techamon sweat-dropped. "Honestly, considering my previous encounter with them, no." He replied, whispering.

"Then keep your voice down." A.J. whispered.

Zonemon sighed. "Sorry for the sudden tension." He whispered.

Silence returned to Feranin League...

---

"What are you going to do with the test tubes?" Feranimon asked, standing up from his organic seat.

"White Hulman would combine all the samples together and put them in two embryo biovesto plants, with one plant growing a biovesto starship and the other into shelter for Feranin League. The two embryo plants would be planted somewhere in town or on the outskirts or suburbs of Resolve." White Fox explained.

White Hulman nodded his head and went back into the kitchen to combine the samples together.

"Wouldn't you need samples from Starspark and Lunal also?" Feranimon asked.

"Starspark and Lunal would be allowed in the biovesto shelter and biovesto starship. With memories of them being part of Feranin League, the shelter and starship would allow Starspark and Lunal access into them." White Fox replied.

Feranimon sighed. "Whatever. I need to go and check on my army. See how they're fairing. Besides I don't want to pardon you with me staying here. It would be like I'm taking permanent residence here! Remia White Fox."

White Fox nodded and Feranimon left his residence. White Fox was about to stand up, but feeling a presence stare at him puzzled, White Fox sat back down and turned his head towards Lunal, who was at the open door that led into the organic kitchen.

"A.J. and the others are off to collect their last mysterious charge. They'll come back, don't worry." White Fox assured.

Lunal nodded. "Lu." He hooted.

He flew back into the kitchen to continue on with his nap. The organic door reappeared, closing the kitchen. White Fox sighed and sat deeper into his organic seat, needing the time to grieve and mourn over his close friend. Being alone with his thoughts and memories of Misterim was all what White Fox needed at the moment...

---

Noticing the black darkness ahead of them, with lights coming through the darkness, AJmon and those mounted on him realized that they were closing in on the space territory, which meant possible unwanted croland attention. Noticing the only place to land, with flowing lava rivers the only thing below him, AJmon balanced himself on top of a pillar. Feranin League stared off towards space.

"Now is a best time for preparation." A.J. informed.

His univice glowed. Both Zonemon and Otazoidmon went transparent, jumping off of AJmon and into the sky.

"ZONEMON CREVOLVE..."
"... CENTERMON!"

"OTAZOIDMON CREVOLVE..."
"... COLAMON"

Colamon stabilized himself in midair while Centermon fell into the lava flows below him. Not panicking, he activated his green mystic aura in the blink of an eye. With help from A.J. and his univice, a green transparent sphere formed around Centermon and halted his fall. A.J. guided the sphere back to his level, with his univice glimmering. A.J. quickly stood on AJmon and knowing AJmon won't take his full weight, hastily leapt towards Centermon.

He went through the green transparent sphere and landed safely on Centermon's back.

"Is it O.K. with you?" A.J. asked.

Centermon shrugged. "I don't mind it. Thanks for the sphere."

"No problem." A.J. smiled.

Deep Techamon levitated himself off of AJmon. With all of them off of him, AJmon flew off of the lone pointed pillar and rushed towards space. He was glad to get rid of the weight. Centermon; Deep Techamon, and Colamon watched to observe the event. Just before reaching the boundary between space and the lava flow, AJmon held his breath and poked his face into space. Not blinking, he took a quick glance around. He noticed his green fur changing color, to grey.

Quickly withdrawing his face, AJmon turned his attention towards his fellow league. With A.J. doing the work, the green transparent sphere holding Centermon, who had A.J. mounted on him, floated towards AJmon. Deep Techamon flew towards AJmon with Colamon beside him. Regrouping, the league stared off into space. AJmon activated his green mystic aura.

"I couldn't see the charge. But one thing, I did notice my color changing." AJmon informed.

"Not surprising. The auras would protect you all from the hostility of space and might protect you from the discoloration. It seems that anything colorful, other than white; black, and shades of grey, would lose color upon entering this space in this realm." A.J. explained.

"It seems so and I'll take your word for it." Deep Techamon stated.

"When you agree on such things with A.J., please use plural, because we all agree with him." Centermon advised.

Deep Techamon shrugged. "I'll keep that in mind."

"What about you A.J.?" Colamon asked.

"The sphere would protect me and Centermon. Besides, Twinkler would protect me further more from space." A.J. informed.

"Are you going to put him on?" Centermon asked.

"I will." A.J. assured.

AJmon sighed. "Here we go."

Without further hesitation, all four rushed through the boundary...

---

They all felt like a ripple went through the boundary with them entering into space.

"Archive Twinkler!" A.J. yelled.

Instantly, on his command, his mystic suit covered his whole body completely, with his eyes glowing green, indication that his eyes and face were covered and protected through the suit.

'Thoughts here would be better than actual speaking.' A.J. thought.

'Actually, I just realized that we soul-warrior copedam won't need the mystic auras. Codelimin don't breath and are made of data.' Deep Techamon reminded.

'Oh yeah? Then go ahead and risk yourself being deleted! We aren't on Earth and we aren't in the Digital World! This is the Realm of Charges and for all we know, it might delete us in a blink if we took down our auras!' AJmon retorted.

Deep Techamon sweat-dropped. 'No need to snap at me. Geez... Sorry about my sudden thought. I guess I was being too hasty and not thinking it thoroughly through.' He apologized.

Feranin League fell silent and stayed close to each other. Being a mythical codelimin, Deep Techamon could do things like levitate himself in the air and fly through it. Silently Centermon and A.J. decided to stay in the sphere and Centermon liked having A.J. mounted on him, with A.J. navigating the sphere away from the boundary between space and land. His univice was covered below his mystic suit, but a slight bump was apparent on A.J.'s right hand.

Eventually, only space was all around them and they kept on moving ahead of them with them completely losing sense of direction due to them being in space. They kept their concentration on their direction so they won't completely get lost. Lights from stars were all around him, to what appeared like light-years away. But only there were white and grey lights. Indeed, in the mystic auras, Feranin League maintained their genuine colors.

Actually, going deeper into space started to unnerve Feranin League, including A.J., since this was the first time for all of them entering space. It turned into slight fear, and gradually grew deeper as they went deeper into space. The fact that they were in croland territory didn't help, but none showed. Faintly, a white-grayish light glimmered ahead.

'Quickly, someone take the rear. We don't want to lose our trail back to Resolve, much less back to land, and be lost and deserted here in this space.' A.J. informed.

Responding, Deep Techamon and Colamon took the rear, and kept side by side, while AJmon and the green transparent sphere kept the lead. Rushing ahead, the green transparent sphere took the lead and quickly engulfed the last mysterious charge. Under the suit, A.J. smiled and grabbed the charge. Turning the sphere around, AJmon also turned around, facing Colamon and Deep Techamon.

Colamon and Deep Techamon spun around, not moving and took the lead, returning to land hopefully. The green transparent sphere and AJmon took the rear back to land.

'Back to Resolve!' A.J. informed...
