Access City, soon after arrival

Chris had to say, she wasn't happy with what circumstances she found herself in. Of course she'd said yes to the question that appeared before her—how could she not?! But she hadn't expected to be taken to another world, least of all one with monsters that had a vague at best plan to accomplish their goals.

Still, she couldn't ignore the threat to her home, or the creatures in need in this world. She had to do something.

Right now though? All she could do was sit on a bench in the park, leaning her head on her hands and generally looking sad. Her partner hadn't shown up yet, and she had no idea where to go to end up looking for one. So all she could do is wait..

"The home I fought for..." she said, sadly. "Is it really so far away?"

The Great And Powerful So-And-So

By now, Chris had met her partner, and... well, they were partners. She couldn't say whether they would get along or not, but this Missimon seemed pretty cynical and hard to convince. Nevertheless, Chris knew they had to get to work accomplishing something, so she'd pursued one of those jobs that were on offer.

The one she selected meant walking the streets at night. Apparently something called a "Devimon" was attacking and scaring people. She checked the handbook on her phone, err, "digivice", and gotten some eyewitness testimony, and something immediately felt fishy. Her time in S.O.N.G. had taught her a thing or too, so she was able to get a sense of where the attacks usually occurred, so she started looking there... and it paid off!

"Hold it right there!" Chris announced to a shadowy figure in an alleyway. "Come on out, you pretender!"

Said shadowy figure loomed over her, rickety wings spread against the knight sky and red eyes gleaming like flashlights. It cried out, its voice legion, and demanded: "Who dares disturb Devimon the great and powerful?!"

Missimon shook her head from behind Chris. "This is going to end in disaster," she sighed.

[trustheart]

[Chris stumbles forward, narrowly dodging Hibiki, muttering curses, before straightening up and wheeling around, rubbing the back of her head.]

What in the world?!

[It's there that she sees what hit her: a small, flying, arrow-headed missile-like Digimon.]

Ah...sorry. I can't control myself very well. Anyway, my name is Missimon, and I'm your partner.

[Chris...stared.]

What?

[trustheart]

Chris grit her teeth. "I said stay back, don't—eh?!"

She stared as the fire hit their adversary...and the "Devimon's" body suddenly burst into flames. Because it was cardboard.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" the voices screamed, before one cleared its throat, saying: "U-Uhm! Pay no attention to our being on fire! This is nothing!"

[trustheart]

Chris shrugged. "I'm not sure," she said. "I guess he'd just throw them in jail for a while."

"J-jail?!" the leader shouted. "One thousand years?! N-No! No way! I'm not going!"

It was then that his entire body started glowing, causing Chris to let go of hip with a yelp. The PicoDevimon screamed, and rose up, as his body became consumed in the light of evolution.

"PicoDevimon, evolve...Evilmon!"

The light faded and revealed...a short, but nonetheless-adult level hideous bat-monkey thing, with an enormous mouth full of fangs.

Chris...did not look impressed.

"That's it...?" she said.

[chalicejoker]

Hajime was not expecting this. Reflex kicked in, and he hurled the PicoDevimon he was still holding at the Evilmon, using it as a projectile for an attack.

Cutemon remained holding onto his shoulder armor, looking concerned at the whole thing.

[sunshinethatwarmsherup]

Miku stared at the digimon on fire as well, not quite sure what she should say to Solarmon, but then she heard what they said and turn her attention to them again. "Uh... I'm pretty sure that even for Digimon that being on fire is bad. You should probably throw all that off."

"How dare you idiots make me think you were actually a threat!" Solarmon shouted, getting ready to send another burst of fire over at whatever the 'Devimon' actually was.

"Solarmon! Stop!"

Solarmon stopped with the fire, letting out a groan at Miku's order. Miku was just glad that Solarmon was actually listening to her right now.

[determinationtofist]

Ah! Look at that, Chris! It's your partner! And it's so cute, too!

[ A cute little missile-shaped Digimon! It's perfect for Chris! She's always using missiles, after all! ]

A Missimon, huh... looks like you've got a handful with ya!

[ Hibiki stares at Coronamon, thinking something along the lines of "look who's talking", but she keeps it to herself. ]

[trustheart]

"Ahahahahahaha!" the Evilmon shouted. "You'd better not under-estimate me! I'm now an Adult, and—OW!"

The Evilmon grabbed his eye as the other PicoDevimon struck and bounced off of it. "Who threw that?!" he demanded.

Meanwhile, the third PicoDevimon poked his head out of the remains of their costume...and immediately ducked his head back in, not wanting to get thrown like his friend, who hit the ground and lay still.

Chris let out a bothered sigh, shaking her head and walking forward. "Here, let me handle this," she said. With that, she grabbed a pendant hanging from her neck, and sang:

"Kiliter ichaival tron."

[trustheart]

Moments later, in a flash of light, Chris stood before them as a red-armored, gun-wielding warrior.

"Take this!" she shouted, pointing one of her weapons forward. She pulled the trigger...and bubbles flew out.

"Wh-what?!" Chris exclaimed.

"That's probably my fault!" Missimon shouted from her hiding place.

[trustheart]

The fire spread, and the Digimon inside immediately followed Miku's advice, tossing off their cardboard and wood construct and revealing themselves, in actuality, to be three PicoDevimon.

"How rude!" the center one of them cried. "Forcing us to reveal ourselves!"

Chris shook her head. "You guys were the ones attacking people!" she exclaimed, before stepping forward. "But whatever, your plan's ruined! Come along quietly, or we'll kick your ass!"

"Oh please!" The same PicoDevimon shouted. "You're just two Tamers, one Child level, and an itty bitty Baby! There's three of us, and we actually have attacks that do damage!"

Then, as if to prove it, they spread their wings and each summoned a large syringe, which they then fired off and shot at Miku, Solarmon, and Missimon.

"PICO DART!"

[trustheart]

[Chris blinked. A tiny missile? That seemed rather on the nose? Nevertheless, she went to her phone, and called up her copy of the Handbook, looking for a Digimon that matched the one in front of her.]

Missimon... Baby II? [She blinked in confusion.] You're not a Child level like Hibiki's?

[Missimon hovered there and shrugged.]

Yeah. Is that a problem?

[determinationtofist]

Daww... it's a little missile! It's perfect for you!

[ Hibiki's input is as helpful as ever, clearly. Coronamon, meanwhile, puffs out his chest proudly. ]

Can't blame em! Not everybody is as cool as me, y'know!

[chalicejoker]

Sudden transformations are not at all a thing that phases Hajime much, this is just par for the course. There is still a quick double-take--there's no belt, no card--and he reflexively braces to be shot at, but no, she's attacking the Evilmon and there's...bubbles.

"Your bubbles are pretty!" Cutemon says helpfully.

"Hang on," Hajime tells him.

"Wh--YYYYY!!" Cutemon yelps and does as instructed, because Hajime has just jumped into the air and is now sailing at that Evilmon in a flying kick.

Sometimes, the old ways are best.

[trustheart]

[Chris rolled her eyes at Coronamon, before answering Missimon.]

No, it's not a problem. Uhm, I guess we'll be working together. Anything I should know about you?

[Missimon shook her head.]

Not really. To be honest, I'm not exactly convinced of all this. I've been a Baby II forever, and I haven't managed to evolve yet. I'm not sure a Tamer can change that for me.

[trustheart]

"Kekekekeke!" Evilmon snickered. One of his opponents was too weak to do anything, and the other he saw coming. He was a weak Adult-level, but an Adult-level nonetheless.

"SCRATCH BEAT!" the Small Demon cried, slashing its arms through the air. It sent out two waves of energy blades at Hajime, intercepting his attack.

[determinationtofist]

...that attitude probably ain't—MMPH!!

[ Hibiki is beginning to learn when Coronamon is about to be rude, and so she suddenly reaches down and clamps her hands over Coronamon's mouth, shutting him up. Though, that being said... ]

Well, you haven't tried having a Tamer yet, right? Give it a chance! Chris is super fun to be with, so I'm sure you'll be evolving in no time flat!

[ Her positivity... it's blinding... ]

1/2

[chalicejoker]

That did not go as expected--even if the Digimon was tiny, it packed more of a punch than Hajime was at the moment. The hit's impressive, there are small explosions, and Hajime goes down. He's dripping green blood on the ground, lying there with the wind knocked out of him. Direct hit.

Yet somehow, he's managed to shield Cutemon. "You're alright?" He's breathing very heavily. "If he got you, I'll kick his ass." He does not sound like he's going to be kicking anyone's ass for the time being.

2/2

[chalicejoker]

"Hajime!" Cutemon gasps and gets to his feet. "I...you...I'm supposed to be protecting you!" He hasn't been doing his job! He'd gotten so wrapped up in being partnered to a cool superhero that he hadn't been doing his job! He had to protect Hajime!

Cutemon felt a little warm as he turned to face the Evilmon. "You can't do that to my Tamer!"

And with that, Cutemon started to glow. "Cutemon, evolve! Pucchiemon!" He was still cute, but bigger now. "Love and Fire!" With that, he shot a fireball shaped like a red heart at the Evilmon.

[sunshinethatwarmsherup]

Thankfully, Miku was keeping her eyes on the PicoDevimon in question, so when those syringes go flying at her she's ready and quickly dodges out of the way.

Solarmon also manages to dodge the dart heading his way, glaring at the PicoDevimon that had aimed at him. "Are you going to yell at me for attacking again?"

"Nope. Go ahead!" Because obviously these guys weren't going to stop until someone they were in a position that they were going to lose.

"Great! Now stay still so I can set out on fire!" And with that shout Solarmon went and charged towards the closest PicoDevimon. "Little Burn!"

Miku turned her attention to Chris. "Is your partner okay?" She didn't see if the baby digimon had gotten hit by the attack or not, but she did see the dart going towards it earlier so... yeah, time to worry. And Solarmon might not be enough to handle this on his own...

Access City

[feathersandsmoke]

"Oh! Oh! Gilbert! Can we go over there?" A loud voice of a Chicchimon echoed on a shoulder on a black haired adult nearly falling off in his excitement, causing the other to simply sigh.

"There is nothing over there. We went there a couple days ago." he had managed to catch his friend with his right hand before his Digimon suddenly decide to simply go to the floor anyway when he spotted someone.

Off he goes with Gilbert following. Upon reaching the destination Chicchimon looked up and raised his tiny little wing.

"Hello there." he said happily as Gilbert had finally managed to catch up.

"Don't run away" he said sounding only mildly annoyed before noticing who he was actually talking to. "...hi there. I guess you are a newer arrival?"

[trustheart]

... I guess.

[Missimon looks away, hovering there and crossing her tiny little arms.

Chris feels something oddly familiar from this whole situation, but pushes past it nonetheless.]

Well, uh, if we're gonna be partners, I guess I should show you to the place they gave us to stay.

[trustheart]

Evilmon cackled as he saw Hajime go down, only to be taken by surprise as Pucchiemon evolved and attacked him. Eyes widening, the monster narrowly dodged, and growled, preparing to launch another attack.

"Impudent whelp!" he seethed. "Nightmare Sho—!"

Before he could get the attack however, Chris rocketed up from beneath him, slamming one of her pistols into Evilmon's lower jaw. She quickly followed up with a swipe from her other weapon, pistol-whipping him across the face. Immediately after, Chris got out of the way, calling out to Pucchiemon.

"Hit him now!"

[trustheart]

Missimon was more than alright. Chris had caught the syringe in mid-air, narrowly before it could hit Missimon, who hovered there with a massive sweatdrop.

"You bastards, picking on a literal baby," she seethed. "LET'S SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT!"

And with that, she heaved the syringe back at the third PicoDevimon, whose eyes widened in fear. Fluttering his wings, he narrowly dodged it.

"Th-Thanks..." Missimon managed.

Meanwhile, the PicoDevimon let out a cry as the fiery tackle struck him, burning him and knocking him into some garbage. The first reacted quickly, spreading his wings and shouting "BAT FLUTTER!"

Three small bats materialized and flew at Solarmon, trying to tackle him to the ground.

[determinationtofist]

[ Something oddly familiar... just her imagination, surely. No need to worry about it, at all. ]

Ooh! Ooh! I wanna see where you're staying! Then I'll be able to visit you so that you don't get lonely!

[ Coronamon raises an eyebrow at that. ]

[trustheart]

[He's not the only one, Missimon does too.]

Hey! Don't go treating this place like you're welcome all the time! It was bad enough back home!

Re: Access City

[trustheart]

Chris blinked at the sudden appearance of Digimon and Tamer. She'd been lost in thought til now.

"Uh, that's right," she said. "Just showed up today, in fact."
