With the flash subsiding, the group of humans and digimon alike blinked slowly to regain their vision. Once clear, the group quickly descended into a flurry of, "What was that's" and "I don't know" or "Are you okay?" Thankfully everyone was okay. With a group sigh, the group was relieved for they knew how dangerous the Digital world could be and having apparently escaped the effects of the light was a real blessing.
Wanting to find out any possible information, Ken pulled out his digivice in hopes of finding some sort of clue as to what the egg was. To his luck, the digivice still had a lock on the strange energy.
Davis then noticed Ken's thinking face and walked over to him. "You got something Ken?"
"Yes Davis, I do," answered Ken as he began to do some calculations. "It seems whatever we did might have awoken the egg. It's currently heading farther into the continent at a pretty respectable pace, I'd say at least 60 to 70 miles per hour. If we hurry now, we might be able to keep it in range of our digivices."
"Normally, I'd say we leave the egg alone," began T.K who brought everyone else's attention to the discussion, "but I think our we definitely need to try and follow it if we can. We have no idea what that egg did to us. By finding the egg and bringing it to Izzy, we might find out what it is."
"Plus," added Yolei, "It might be a source of super digital power. Who knows what might happen if it got into the wrong hands."
Cody nodded at the prospect. "We should definitely search it out."
"Alright," shouted Davis, "Then I guess we have a course of action. Let's follow that egg! Yolei, Digivolve Hawkmon so we can follow the egg."
"I would believe that would normally be the perfect idea Davis," hopped in Hawkmon, "But, unfortunately the canopy over the heads is took think for me to grow. Not to mention that due to my lack of energy, I wouldn't be able to digivolve anyway."
As if to accentuate his point a collective growl from everyone's stomach, signaled that it was time to have some lunch. "Well, I guess we can't exactly follow the egg on an empty stomach. Veemon? How far away is the nearest food grove, you know apples and such?" The little blue digimon thought for probably a few seconds before snapping his fingers and pointing towards a rocky ridge that was quite far away. "Just over that ridge. It's a pretty nice place, I've eaten in that grove a few times."
"Sooner we get there, the sooner we can find out what that egg is all about, let's go team," rallied Davis as he started running. The rest of the group followed shortly after, though thankfully Davis slowed down to allow everyone to travel in a group.
As the group continued through the thick forest and tightly woven canopy, a few of the party noticed small issues. Davis, for instance, quite finding his tongue with his pointed tooth. The thing is he swore they had gotten sharper, but this was just a fleeting thought as he had to focus on where he stepped in the mangled mess of tree roots and ancient vines. Yolei began to scratch occasionally, nothing too bothersome just the occasional odd itch. The rest of the Digidestined suffered other minor things hardly worth noting, except for Kari. As the brown-haired girl walked along, she found she was having considerable trouble. Sure the ground was a literal knot of roots, plants, and old tree limbs, but for some reason, Kari felt as if she was having more trouble than she should. Her shoes seemed to be the major source of the problem. For some reason, Kari's shoes actually felt too big for her feet, causing her feet to shift about in the shoe whenever she felt she had a good foot hold.
Gatomon soon noticed Kari's troubles. "Kari, is something wrong?"
"No," said Kari trying to play off her difficulties. "I've got thiii~!" That is all Kari was able to say before her right foot slipped into a wooden crevice. Looking to where her foot was caught, Kari found she was rather stuck. Yank as she did, all Kari managed to do was frustrate herself even more. Finally, not wanting to slow down the group anymore, Kari reached down, pulled off her pink and white shoe, and breathed a sigh of relief. Never had Kari felt a pleasure like she did now. For some unexplainable reason, Kari felt so pleased to be free of her shoe. Wiggling her toes as if on instinct, Kari was in such a mix of pleasure and relief that she did not notice the lack of two toes. With already one shoe off and her friends calling to her in the distance, Kari wasted no time and tore off her other shoe, feeling that same level of pleasure. Setting her white socked feet to the ground. Kari quickly not only rejoined her friends, but raced passed them. Now with her feet free, Kari was able to find more secure foot placements and with little effort, lead the team through the forest to the base of the ridgeline.
"Wow Kari," spoke Gatomon as she rejoined her friend, the team still a few yards off, "When did you get moves like that?"
"I don't really know," answered the tamer, "Once I took off my shoes, it came pretty naturally to me."
"After living with you humans for so long, I still have no clue why you people bother with such confining things," said the cat as she took a position similar to Kari as they waited for the team to catch up.
"You know Gatomon," said Kari as she looked at her shoes and remembering the pleasure she had felt earlier, "I'm right there with you. I'm surprised I never tried this sooner." Kari then tossed her shoes to the ground and waited for the others.
