Across Ultra: Half Dream

Chapter 21: X World 2

After everyone returned to their posts, Daichi said to Aix worriedly, "Aix, even though you've broken through to new powers, I'm still worried. I always feel like something's wrong."

"Dadi, don't worry. I should be fine." The X terminal flashed.

"No, let's check it out!" Dadi shook his head in disapproval, saying firmly. "There's an old Chinese saying, 'Be prepared for the worst.'"

Seeing Dadi's resolute attitude, Aix had no choice but to compromise. "Okay, Dadi."

However, Dadi checked back and forth several times and found no problem. He almost doubted whether he was too suspicious. But a strong premonition told him that he must find out as soon as possible.

"Dadi, I've checked for so long and found nothing. It should be fine. I've also checked the data many times, but I still can't find anything." X comforted Dadi.

Dadi was silent for a moment. "No, I'd better ask Dr. German for help. I have a feeling there's something very important in your data. I must find it."

Aix was very confused and dodged a question. "That's impossible. This is my world. If there is anything, I can find it..."

"Aix! Let's check it again!" Dadi interrupted Aix decisively.

There was no way, and in the end Aix was persuaded (surrendered).

"...This is what happened, Dr. German, please help me!" Dadi explained what happened before.

"Okay! I trust your intuition." Dr. German agreed without hesitation. "Earth/X, you two help me."

"Yes! x2"

With that, the two of them and Ao began their investigation again. However, this time, with the help of Dr. German, the three of them finally discovered something amiss with the X database.

At the very edge of the X database, there is a small ball of light composed of golden data, flickering and seeming to disappear at the next moment.

"Huh? What is this?" Dadi asked in confusion, but a voice in his heart told him that this was what he was looking for.

Dr. German took a look and shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe it's a virus."

Aix looked at the small ball of light and felt very familiar. "It's not a virus, it's a bit familiar."

Just as the three of them finished speaking, the light of the small ball of light suddenly began to dim at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Not good!" Aix's heart tightened as he watched the small ball of light disappear. He quickly transmitted a wave of his own data to the small ball of light.

After hearing X say that there was nothing wrong with it, Dadi and German saw that it was about to disappear, so they quickly input a wave of data into the small light ball.

After the three people continuously input input for two hours, the condition of the small light ball finally stabilized.

"Aix, do you know what this small ball of light is?" Dadi asked with relief when he saw that the small ball of light had stabilized.

"Actually...if...I'm not mistaken, it's the same as me, both life forms of light." X said uncertainly.

"Aix is ​​right. It should be the same species as you." German nodded and said affirmatively.

"Eh? A life form of light? Then how did it become like this?" Dadi was confused.

"I think he's been hurt just like me," Aix explained. "It's probably even worse than what I was feeling at the time."

"Since there is no problem, then you should take good care of it and come back to me when it regains consciousness." Dr. German said enthusiastically.

"Okay! Thank you, Doctor. We'll be out then." Dadi said gratefully.

Over the next month, the earth and Aix continued to nurture the small ball of light, and the condition of the small ball of light was getting better and better.

It was precisely because X used his data energy to nourish the small light ball that he struggled in the battle with the Phantom King Molde. Fortunately, Whittakerley and Galaxy came to the rescue in the end, otherwise he would have been beaten badly.

Afterwards, Daichi and Aix met Xiaoguang and Xiang, and told them the story of Xiaoguang Group.

After Hikaru and Sho learned about this, they joined forces with Daichi and X to find a way to help Hikaru. Unfortunately, after much discussion and numerous experiments, they discovered that Hikaru was in its data form and only X could help it.

"This is the only way... Fine, let me do it!" The X terminal flashed.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Aix." Dadi encouraged.

〖no problem!〗

"But it's not good to keep calling her Little Light Ball." Xiaoguang shook his head. "Let's give her a name."

Axel: "Elinda?"

Sho: "Vina!"

Xiaoguang: "Xiaotuan!"

The earth was speechless. "That's enough, what kind of names are these! =_="

Amidst the noise, suddenly, a small ball of light shone brightly, drawing the attention of the three people and one Ao.

Xiang: "Huh? Are you awake?"

Dadi: “Yeah?”

Xiaoguang: "Why don't you ask it? It should have its own name, right?"

"Hmm... where is this... where am I..." The little ball of light who woke up looked around, shook his body and asked in confusion.

"Oh, so cute." Xiaoguang looked at the little light ball with cute movements and smiled like an auntie.

"Little ball of light, this is my data world, and you are in my body." Aix looked at the little ball of light he had been feeding for a long time with joy and replied.

"Data world? Hmm... strange..." The small ball of light shook itself again.

"Yes, little ball of light. What's your name? How did you get here?" Dadi asked quickly.

〖…My name is…Xiao Yi…I…don’t know how I ended up here…〗 Perhaps because she had been unconscious for too long, Chloe was very weak and her speech was intermittent.

"Ah, Xiaoyi, don't you know how you got here?" Xiaoguang looked at Chloe with some heartache.

Seeing the few people who wanted to continue asking questions, Aix quickly interrupted them. "Okay, stop asking. Xiao Yi is still very weak. Let her rest well. Ask again when she feels better!"

Because Chloe had been in Axe's body all this time and was fed by him, Axe treated Chloe as his own daughter and was very protective of her.

Turning around, Axe transformed his data into a hand and gently stroked Chloe. "Xiao Yi, you just woke up and are still very weak. You should go and rest."

"Who are you?" Chloe asked curiously, looking at the gentle humanoid creature.

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Ultraman X, the one who saved you.

"Ah, Xiao Yi, hello, I'm Daisora ​​Daichi, I'm Aix's partner."

"Hello, Xiao Yi, I'm Litang Guang, and I'm Ultraman Ginga. The one next to me is Xiang, and he's Ultraman Victory."

"Hello... Thank you..." Chloe said as she fell asleep again and sank into the data world. Fortunately, Axe caught her.

Dadi said distressedly, "Ah, Xiaoyi is indeed very weak. Just like Aix said, he must have been seriously injured."

Xiaoguang was silent for a moment and said, "But what kind of power could have hurt her like this? Otherwise, how about contacting Senior Zero? See if he has a solution?"

"Cero? Who is this?" Daichi asked in confusion.

"Daichi, Senior Zero is the youngest and most powerful Ultraman in the Land of Light." X explained.

"Ah, the Kingdom of Light? What is this?" Dadi felt out of place.

"I'll explain this to you later."

"Okay, Axe."

"Hey! Stop interrupting!" Xiaoguang said with a headache, looking at the two people who interrupted. Xiang didn't react at all, just crossed his arms and watched the show.

"Sorry! x2" Earth/Aix.

"..." Xiaoguang was speechless. "Ex, please send us back. Let's go find Senior Zero and see if he has a solution."

"Okay! Thank you very much!" X then transformed, opened the wormhole, and sent Xiaoguang and Xiang back.

In the next few months, Chloe gradually regained consciousness, and Dadi and Axe also knew some of Chloe's affairs.

But Chloe's memories were always fragmented and not very useful, so Dadi and Aix had no choice but to give up.

As time went by, Chloe gradually got better, but she always felt that something was missing from her body. She felt weak and listless.

When Aix saw this, he quickly checked Chloe and found that Chloe was missing most of her essence. He told Chloe the result to see if she knew the reason.

[Missing most of the essence?] Chloe looked at Axe in confusion.

"Yes, Xiao Yi, that's why you always feel powerless." Axel hugged Chloe distressedly. "Xiao Yi, can you really not remember what happened before?"

"Brother Axel, I... uh... have a headache... uh..." Chloe, who was about to recall, felt like her headache was about to explode.

Seeing this, Axe quickly interrupted and soothed him, "Okay, okay, if you can't remember it, then don't think about it."

"Well... all right, Brother Axe."

"It's okay, Xiao Yi, just leave it like this, it's fine." Axe rubbed Chloe.

"Brother Aix, I'm so bored. I want to learn something." Chloe felt that the days were too peaceful and said boredly.

Aix pondered for a moment. "Okay, then I'll teach you how to use data. After all, you're also in data form now."

Chloe excitedly surrounded Axel and said, "Great! Thank you, Axel!"

Time passed slowly, and Chloe tried hard to digest the knowledge taught by Aix. It was busy and warm.

…………

On this day, the appearance of Gomes broke the tranquility of the night, but soon after he appeared, he dived into the ground and disappeared. Captain Shenmu quickly ordered his team members to investigate the movements of the monster.

But just then the captain received an invitation to his daughter's wedding, which was to be held the next day. Seeing the captain's worried look, the deputy captain rushed over to show his concern.

From the conversation between the two, we learned that the captain had not contacted his daughter for a long time due to work reasons. He was worried that his daughter would hate him because of this. However, with the encouragement of the deputy captain, Captain Shenmu decided to visit his daughter before the wedding.

Unexpectedly, the captain found her at his daughter's company, and she was still working the day before the wedding. This passion for work is indeed hereditary.

The long-term separation has caused the relationship between the father and daughter to become very distant, and their communication is particularly awkward, but seeing his daughter again reminds Captain Shenmu of some past events.

Just when Shenmu was about to communicate with his daughter again, Gio sent a message that the monster Gomes appeared again.
