Across Ultra: Half Dream

“…Brother, is it necessary? I was just picked up! Huh? I think I was just picked up... It really makes me sad…” Dyna rubbed his butt and said helplessly.

"Speaking of which, where can we find my little sister..." Dyna stopped in space, covering his face with his hands, and said with a headache, "Why don't we go find Gaia and Aguru first? They should have a solution."

Dyna opened the space-time portal and went to look for Gaia and Aguru...

"Brother Aix, do you think the data is safe?" Xiaoguangtuanzi asked curiously as he surrounded Aix.

"Well, it's not necessarily safe. There are still hidden dangers, such as viruses." Axel looked at Chloe lovingly.

"Then, what about the network data that Hikaru collected?" Xiaoguang Tuanzi asked maliciously.

Axe was silent for a moment before saying, "Ah... that's hard to say. Just like light and darkness, even the most secure data will have loopholes."

Chloe flew over to Axe's head and landed. "Is that so? Then aren't we in danger? If a virus comes, we'll be dead."

Axe looked at Chloe in amusement, "Where did you put your brother Axe? I can still protect you!"

"Then I believe you, Brother Axel, you must protect me!" Chloe looked straight at Axel and rubbed her face.

The X terminal was warm and peaceful, but Dadi was miserable, he was just a social animal.

In an ordinary small town, a girl named Sakura is sorting out her newly moved luggage with her mother.

Sakura looked at the beautiful scenery and couldn't help but sigh, "This place is really nice."

My mother forced a smile and said, "They say a red monster appeared here, that's why the rent is so cheap." Then she apologized with an awkward smile, "Oh, I'm so sorry."

Hearing her mother say this, Sakura sighed helplessly.

Later, while touring the new house, Sakura found a bell on the ground. When she picked it up, she heard a noise in the bushes not far away. She turned around and saw a red monster secretly watching them.

Sakura was so scared that she quickly called out to her mother, "Mom, Mom! There's a monster! There's a monster!"

But the mother scoffed and said, "It's not a monster, it's a monster! If there really were monsters, Gio would have been here long ago."

Afterwards, he urged Sakura to pack up quickly, while Xio on the other side was worried about how to predict the energy of the dark thunderstorm.

Deputy Captain Tachibana inspected the dolls and said, "Phew, they've been successfully recovered. The state of these shining dolls is quite unstable!"

Asuna pondered, "Maybe it was affected by the energy of the dark thunderstorm?"

Kazama said worriedly, "If we discover it too late and wait until they materialize, many more people may be sacrificed."

Asuna lamented, "If only we could predict where the lightning would strike..."

At this time, Deputy Captain Tachibana closed the box and turned to Daichi, saying, "Then I'll leave it to you to investigate!"

Dadi replied seriously, "I understand!"

Afterwards, Daichi went to the laboratory to find Dr. German, and found that the three of them were not reliable. Only one sentence caught Daichi's attention: "If there are still uncollected dolls in the city, it will be dangerous!"

With this in mind, Daichi hurried to various locations in the city to investigate. "What a headache."

"Don't worry, take your time looking." Aix comforted Dadi.

"Brother Dadi, we'll go with you in the search." Chloe also comforted Dadi.

Hearing Yituan Yiao's words of comfort, Dadi felt warmed and began to gain motivation. However, after working for a long time, he found nothing and had no choice but to return to Xio Base.

Meanwhile, Xiaoying, returning home from school, noticed the flowers at the door. Just as he was wondering, he saw Pigmon, half of his body exposed.

Seeing that Sakura had no ill intentions, Pigmon introduced himself to Sakura. In this way, the gentle Sakura and the kind Pigmon became good friends and played happily together.

But not long after, Sakura was called back by her mother. Feeling a little lost, Pigmon returned to his residence, where he and Sakura also kept those good times.

When Sakura got home, she happily told her mother that she had made a good friend. After hearing this, her mother also happily congratulated Sakura.

In this way, time came to the next day. Sakura and her mother were going to the shopping mall to play, but Pigumon, who wanted to play with Sakura, couldn't help but come to Sakura. Sakura told him that there were many people in the city who were not allowed to go through, and then hurriedly got on the car.

Pigumon, who was watching Sakura, suddenly discovered that dark thunderstorm energy was gathering in the sky, and the direction was the city where Sakura was going. Pigumon didn't care about the danger and immediately started chasing Sakura's car, but accidentally fell to the ground.

In the bustling city, Sakura and her friends gathered and were about to go play on a small train when they suddenly heard an uncle handing out balloons scream. Sakura turned around and saw that Pigumon had followed them. Anxious, Sakura didn't care about her friends and parents behind her and told it to leave quickly.

At the same time, Xio Base received a notification of the appearance of a monster. Although there were no casualties, the captain still gave the order to go out.

When Dadi and his companions arrived at the scene, Pigumong had been tied up and looked lifeless.

Without waiting for the team members to say anything, the crowd watching the show began to accuse Pigumong.

The crowd angrily said, "This monster is so bad, you know! He attacked the children!"

Seeing that the adults around were blaming Pigmon, Sakura anxiously helped Pigmon explain, "No! Pigmon is not bad!"

But Sakura's mother disagreed and said, "Sakura, weren't you attacked?"

Sakura continued to explain, "Piggumon, it didn't attack me!"

Hearing this, Dadi asked doubtfully, "Do you know it?"

Sakura looked at Daichi and said, "Pigmon, it's my friend!"

But the people didn't care whether Pigumong was harmful or not. They continued their accusations and kept asking Xio to get rid of Pigumong.

Dr. German and his team, who were far away at the base, confirmed that the monster was the friendly rare beast Pigmon, and suspected that it was the Ultra Flare that year that awakened Pigmon.

But looking at the scene before him, Aix at the scene raised a question. "Daiji, why are humans afraid of even harmless monsters?"

Daichi looked at the confused Aix and explained helplessly, "Because humans can't easily accept things that are different from themselves."

"Brother Aix, perhaps this explanation will better help you understand the saying 'Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.'" Chloe floated in front of Aix and said with a sneer, "Besides, if we are not of the same race, there is no guarantee of danger. To prevent any harm to ourselves, it is better to eliminate them."

"...So, will Gio take it in?" Axe asked after a moment's silence.

Daichi smiled helplessly. "Usually, the first choice is to let it return to its habitat, but... maybe it would be good for it to be with that girl. After all, they consider each other friends."

"But can humans and monsters really be friends? Humans only choose creatures to coexist with based on whether they are useful to them." X asked Daichi doubtfully.

"Brother Axel is right. It's highly unlikely." Chloe shook her body and said affirmatively, "And, their ideas are irreversible. So, Brother Dadi, don't expect it to be so good."

"So, I'm looking for a way for all life to coexist peacefully." Daichi said to Axe and Chloe with a firm face, "The Earth doesn't belong to humans alone."

The three people who were chatting suddenly saw Pigmon attacking the aggressive uncle, and Sakura on the other side could only shout helplessly.

Dadi hurried to stop them and had the Monster Encyclopedia begin analyzing them. He believed Pigmon had attacked in self-preservation. But the man wasn't going to wait for their analysis. He didn't stop them and started beating and cursing Pigmon.

Seeing the docile Pigmon being beaten and scolded by humans again, Chloe could no longer bear it and cursed, "As expected, humans are the filthiest and most disgusting creatures! They should just disappear!"

Seeing Chloe's mood swings, Axe quickly hugged her and soothed her, saying, "Don't be angry, Chloe! Humans are complex. They don't just have negative aspects; they also have beautiful sides. Don't dismiss them completely because of a few things. Let's wait and see, okay?"

Chloe gradually calmed down after hearing what Axe said. "...I've seen a lot, but what you said does make sense, Axe."

"Okay, stop being angry. Look what this is." Axe gently touched Chloe and began to divert her attention.

"Wow! Brother Aix, this is beautiful! I didn't know data could be used this way. Then can I... Brother Aix, I'll go study it first." Chloe stared at the universe composed of data in amazement and couldn't help but try it out herself.

After finally coaxing Chloe, Axel let out a deep breath of data.

Outside, as everyone was fretting over Pigumon's situation, a bolt of black lightning struck from the sky. Amidst a puff of smoke, the enraged King Gesla emerged.

The people who had just gathered together were frightened by the sudden disaster and fled everywhere. King Gesla destroyed the city wantonly.

At this time, the uncle who had just been aggressive was in the area where the building debris fell.

But at this critical moment, Pigumong suddenly appeared and pushed the uncle away, but unfortunately he was hit by the falling debris, causing him to be seriously injured and lying on the ground unable to move.

When the uncle saw that Pigumong had saved him, he sat on the ground in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the other side, Sakura, who was evacuating, suddenly found the dying Pigmon. She wanted to rush over to save Pigmon regardless of the danger, but was stopped by her mother and taken away.

Team Asuna also saw Pigumon lying among the rubble, and quickly ran over to untie the rope on it, but the balloon tied to the rope attracted the attention of King Gesla.
