((It's just that I never clean everything up like that. I usually just clean the downstairs, this time I cleaned the WHOLE house. So yeah...was just saying that as a just in case type of thing))

As Alex was eating breakfast, he thought of what to do for the day. Before long, he had a mental checklist of what he wanted to get done for the day.

Taylor and Sora grabbed their breakfast and joined the others. He tried not to think of what might happen if they catch up with Bryce. There had to be a reason he set Greg up like that. He was lost in thought as he ate.

Carly and Max ate their breakfast in silence, while Carly considered what was going on. She noticed that Alex had two chibis but didn't talk about it yet since it seemed like they trusted him.

Taylor finished and talked with Sora a little bit. He was glad that they were getting along. He would wait till everyone was done to ask about what today's plans were.

Carly and Max finished their breakfast, as did Alex and his Bishies.

" So what is our plan for today? " Taylor asked. He wad ready to fight if needed.

"I was thinking we head out of here and to the next town, where this suspected Headquarters is. Other then doing recon about the place, we can't really do much. And doing recon like what we did in this village could have higher dangers, especially since we're going into what might be a Hornet's nest." Alex said

" Do you know how far the next town is?" Taylor asked . He was trying to think of a way they could do recon without getting caught.

Alex replied that he didn't know unfortunately but quickly opened his Bishidex and looked at it for a few seconds before closing it again with a small frown on his face. He figured it wasn't going to be that easy after all. "The Map just says its a small city East from here,, doesn't say how far."

He didn't let it show, but the fact that they could hack into the Dex system and take away the longitude and latitude numbers scared him a little, especially since he relied on the device for several things.

" It sounds like someone dosen't want the town to be found. " Taylor said. " When should we start to head over there?" Carly said.

"It does sound like someone doesn't want this town to be found, but it only means that we should keep our guard up when we get nearby. We should head out soon, but I think we should get some supplies first. Enemy territory and all that. Also...what can you tell me about Max? I don't know about her at all," he said, first to Taylor and then to Max, sheepishly scratching the back of his head.

" I'm 15 now. I was part of a series of terrible experiments that made her and the flock as they are called 98% human and 2% Avian. She and five others escaped from a lab that was called The School. I don't like to talk about it much really." Max said to the others.

Alex listened and nodded once Max was done. He could have made a joke about how he knew school was a prison, but it wouldn't be appropriate. "Thanks for telling me Max, and don't worry, I won't ask about it," He said, earning a nod from Max.

Taylor listened too. He had read the books a while back. " Ready to hit the road?" Taylor said. He knew they might have a long journey ahead of them.

Alex checked his blades and the supplies before nodding, "Yeah, ready when you two are," he responded. He hoped he wouldn't need the weapons, but they were there just in case.

Taylor and Sora got up and took care of their garbage. They waited for the others.

Alex went ahead and signed the three of them out as the two took care of their garbage and waited for them outside.

Carly and Max took care of their garbage and went to meet Taylor outside. Sora had gone back in his bishie ball.

Alex, Zero and Taylor were waiting for the two females outside, all of Alex's other Bishies decided to go back into their respective balls.

Carly and Max met with the others " Ready to go?" Carly asked.

"Yeah," Alex replied. "Although I hope you don't mind if we travel by dragon."

" I don't mind. " Taylor said." Neither do I "Carly said, Max had decided to go back in her Bishie ball until she was needed.

"Alright then. Angel-chan should be waiting for us outside then," Alex stated. He didn't know how he knew it, but after he first caught her, he was always able to tell where she was, and he assumed the other way around.

Taylor and Carly followed Alex to where Angelus was. They both hoped they would get some answers today .

Alex saw Angelus waiting for them outside the village gates and headed towards her. Once the three got to where she was laying down, Alex checked to make sure that her injury from before had healed. While he trusted Sora's Curaga spell to take effect, he wanted to make sure.

"Alex, I'm fine. Whatever that Keybearer did fixed all my wounds," the female dragon spoke as Alex chuckled lightly.

"What? I'm not allowed to worry for a friend?" He asked back in response, causing the female crimson dragon to shake her head lightly in response. She then noticed the new female trainer and teased Alex about picking up another trainer, as if he was collecting them or something, causing Alex to scowl. "Not funny Angel-chan," he replied back. After making one hundred percent sure that all her wounds were indeed healed, he called towards Carly and Taylor to get on board.
