Carlos blinked in the new light. He smiled. This was more like it. He liked forests. There was a small one near his place in the country. He didn't recognize any of the trees here, though, and he got the feeling this was quite a lot bigger than the one at home...

Shobatsu blinked in the new light. He didn't smile. Instead, he jumped down, and stretched. He focused, and Carlos, responding to a tug from his trouser pocket, channeled energy into his Hard Wire. Shobatsu grew into his C-Rank, and stretched once more, relieving a different set of muscles.

"So..." said Carlos, suddenly unsure of what to do. "What now?"

Shobatsu looked around, and shook his head. There was danger here, he'd been told, and something trying to take over this world. He didn't know where the danger was, how strong it was, or what form it took. No danger had manifested at this point. His memories were also stubbornly opaque.

"We find the others." he said. It was the only clear objective he had.

Iko and Luke had made their way to the forest's perimeter, near where Shobatsu and Carlos stepped out. Streching a bit, Iko checked his bandage, grimmacing as the improper cloth had combined with the scab. However, with the bleeding gone, he clenched the bandage, which disappeared in a red dust.

Luke watched this curiously. "So I take it everything here is made out of data?" Luke asked, watching the remnants of the bandage float away.

Iko nodded. "Most of it is just structured programming... not useful to absorb, but functional in taking up space. Anyway..." Iko stood silent, his ears fluctuating to nearby sound, as he used his senses to both search for data and physical locations. Opening his eyes after a few moments, he increased his data signal somewhat, as the pair moved in Shobatsu's direction.

Shobatsu focused, raising an arm, palm up, mostly to continue stretching. A sphere of light perhaps twice the size of a basket ball formed three feet above him. He clenched the fist. The sphere exploded into hundreds and hundreds of little lights, which hovered around for a moment before flying away in all directions.

He repeated this. This time, however, the lights stayed with Carlos and Shobatsu, orbiting them. It was a very pretty effect, and the shadows of the jungle melted away before them.

They began to walk. The lights would search out the other DaCre, but in the mean time he might as well get out of the forest.

"Don't you think that makes you a little easy to find?" Iko asked Shobatsu. He made his voice known first, before breaking through an area of brush and becoming in full view of the pair, Luke following close behind.

Iko looked around at the floating lights; they were familiar and known, but the presence of light wasn't exactly something that made him comfortable.

"Let's keep going, then..." Luke said, in somewhat of a low voice. "Getting ambushed here is not what we need..."

Shobatsu smiled at Iko.

"They help us to see the dangers of the jungle, will provide a defense if we are, indeed, attacked, give me more light to manipulate, help to generate more of an energy signal than I could do by myself to ward off some predators, and give the area a cheery atmosphere." he said.

"And, of course, you will note that your shadows are cast into very sharp relief, or rather, are more focused than they normally would be."

He nodded as Luke made his comment, and looked over at the town just visible through the remaining trees. "Let's go see what's what..."

Shobatsu and Iko came out at the other side of the forest, to see a vast desert before them, which didn't seem natural: the mountains and the field in front abruptly cut out, without a distinction of a natural end to the landmarks.

"Destruction..." Iko remarked, looking at the familiar desert before them. "Throughout the desert, all that's left is a few nomadic DaCre camps..."

It seemed forboding, much more 'dead' than a normal desert: no cacti or any signs of structured data.

"It doesn't seem like anyone else is here..." Luke remarked.

Shobatsu nodded, but looked carefully at the desert, tails twitching. He... he had seen this desert before. Of course, all deserts look largely alike, but... He was sure he'd been here before.

"Let's turn back," volunteered Carlos. "I don't think the others are out there, and we are hardly equipped for desert travel."

At this moment, six small dots appeared on the horizon out over the desert.

Shobatsu shook his head, and felt a distinct shift in the light. He was sensitive to this sort of thing. He turned, looking up, and saw the fireflies.

He looked over at Iko. "It would seem that we have found another DaCre, and that it is in trouble." he said.

The six dots on the horizon had gotten much closer, now. They would be recognizable to someone looking at them as six smoky black piranhas, swimming fiercely and swiftly.

Iko was inversely yet equally sensitive to light as Shobatsu was, looking over at the signal that his two-tailed twin had casted.

"Curious... the only DaCre I can think of around here that would need help would be the other pairs that came through..." Iko said, partly to himself.

"It seems danger is closer than we thought, then," Luke added, glancing over at Carlos, then at Shobatsu.

"We should scout it first," Iko started, "and see just what it is we're dealing with first." With that, he and Luke headed off in the direction of the signal...
