Aaric and Hakase lifted their heads towards the sky attentive to the heavenly announcement. Aaric, once again, was indifferent. This grandiose display of light and power did not quite impress Aaric, almost as if there was a certain familiarity towards events such as these. Far too often had Aaric seen images of angels, their depictions, and functions in the multitude of stories he’s read. The only that inspired a speck of curiosity in Aaric was the split design of that heavenly being.

	[b]“Experience true knowledge,”[/b] the voice directed at Aaric. He did not think too much of this statement. To Aaric, knowledge was just knowledge, and nothing else. It was simply a tool that was to could be attained and then used; that was its primary purpose. Aaric looked down onto his left wrist to find that a strange watch-like gadget had been placed. It was somewhat odd that this bracelet did not catch the attention of Aaric. Perhaps he was far too withdrawn within himself to notice or too attentive to the voice that was above the group’s heads. 

	[color=F0FFFF][b]“Quite the display, right-[i]gya[/i]?”[/b][/color] Hakase asked Aaric. To answer the question, Aaric began to turn his head towards Hakase, only to be met with the gaze of an unfamiliar creature.

	[color=FAEBD7][b]“YAAAH!!!”[/b][/color] Aaric yelled in surprise. As he stumbled backwards away from the lab-coated lizard, Aaric tripped on a root. In what seemed like slow motion, Aaric tightly shut his eyes, bracing himself for the impact his bottom was about to receive. Touchdown, his romp was now very much hurt. After Aaric dressed his wounds, he turned his attention towards the little dinosaur. [color=FAEBD7][b]“Who-who are you?” [/b][/color]

	The dinosaur softly chuckled. In a differently toned voice, he replied, [color=F0FFFF][b]“I’m still Hakase[i]-gya[/i]. You know that little koromon that was at your side-[i]gya[/i]? Digivolved when Mastemon appeared-[i]gya[/i]. Yep, I’m an Agumon-[i]gya[/i]… Hey, are you listening-[i]gya[/i]?”[/b][/color] Aaric was staring at Hakase, dumbfounded. Once again, Aaric found himself staring into the gap within his knowledge, the void that Aaric never wanted to visit. Never in his entire life would he imagine a small dinosaur wearing a lab coat and an Oxford cap, until now.

	Hakase waited for Aaric’s reply. After a few short seconds, Hakase sighed. Waving one of his sleeves towards Aaric, Hakase teased, [color=F0FFFF][b]“Hello, anybody in there-[i]gya[/i]?”[/b][/color] Aaric jolted. 

	[color=FAEBD7][b]“Present!”[/b][/color]

	Hakase sighed once more. [color=F0FFFF][b]“Your the most observant being that I’ve met so far.”[/b][/color] Hakase said in a sarcastic tone. 

	[color=FAEBD7][b]“I am?”[/b][/color] Aaric asked. Hakase looked at Aaric disdainfully. Hakase raised his arm, Aaric’s eyes following the motion. Then with one swift move, Hakase did a karate chop on Aaric’s head, causing Aaric to recoil and place his hands on the impact site. 

	[color=F0FFFF][b]“That was a sarcastic comment, blockhead! Pay more attention-[i]gya[/i]!”[/b][/color] Hakase immediately replied.

	[color=FAEBD7][b]“Ow…”[/b][/color] Aaric continued to say. He quickly maneuvered his eyes towards Hakase’s eyes. [color=FAEBD7][b]“I may have not picked up on the sarcasm, but that doesn’t give you the authority to give me a smacking!” [/b][/color]

	[color=F0FFFF][b]“Oh don’t complain-[i]gya[/i],”[/b][/color] Hakase retorted. [color=F0FFFF][b]“If you don’t learn to converse with others, then your journey-[i]gya [/i]will be more difficult-[i]gya[/i]! Communication skills are key when it comes to crucial missions, skills that you evidently are short on-[i]gya[/i]!”[/b][/color] Hakase leaned in closer towards Aaric. [color=F0FFFF][b]“Not to mention attentiveness-[i]gya[/i]!”[/b][/color] Aaric motioned to open his mouth but clenched his teeth instead. Hakase could easily read that Aaric was reluctant to accept this criticism but knew that it was all too true. Hakase then swiftly made a 180 degree turn, shifting his attention towards the Angel digimon. Aaric followed suit, begrudgingly.
