After  meeting their new Digimon friends, Dorumon led them away from where there houses were and into the woods. It was alll trees trees and more trees, as far as the eye could see. He overheard a few of the other kids in the group talking about their families back home, and all of a sudden Max couldn't help feeling bad. Here he was, totally excited to go on an adventure, and these kids had families back on Earth that would surely miss them. Meanwhile, his mom was dead, his dad was abusive, and his boyfriend was dead. He didn't have any siblings, and sure he had friends back home, nothing beats a family that would notice you were gone, and actually miss you. Max let out a sigh, and it did not go unnoticed by Cinderella.

"Oi, what's wrong now?"

Max laughed nervously. "Oh... um... nothing's wrong. Everything is perfectly fine. Yep, totally happy to be here." He lied. Cinderella did not need to know about his personal problems. Not yet, they had only just met.

Before Cinderella had a chance to ask more questions, shit really hit the fan. They came acrosss a clearing, where some sort of orange dinosaur, a rock monster, and some sort of orange badger thing attacked Dorumon. The purple dinosaur told them all to run, and that's exactly what they did. There was no way the little yellow creature in his arms could do anything against these things. They were outnumbered, and unprepared. Even Max knew it was wise to get out of here, and live to fight another day. "We're runnning!"

Max ran to what in what felt like a complete circle. All the trees looked exactly Identical, and Max didn't know this forest. He slowed down to a walk to catch his breath. 

"What was that? I could have digivolved and tried to help!" Cinderella exclaimed.

Max spoke in between taking breaths. "Against... Alll of those.... I... don't think so..." Come on, let's go see if we can find the others...

After some more walking, he eventually found a clearing where some of the others had gathered. Including, a new boy that wasn't in their group before. The new guy was actually kind of cute, but Max wasn't in the mood to fawn over him right now. Once he got up, he collapsed to his knees. "Oh... there you alll are..." Max panted. "I've... beeen running through the forest trying to lose those things that attacked us..." After taking some time to catch his breath, he straightened himself up, and regained his composure. "Um... anyway... uh where are the others? I was sure there were more people than just us.... And who's the new guy?"
