"...Didn't hear us, did you," Ryouta muttered, slightly annoyed. "Which organization? There are no organization, at least none that came from the other side. Supercomputer? We doesn't need that. Why would we need that if we can cross between both world easily? Now if you ask who we are, I'll answer we're simply one who came far before you does, but that over there," he pointed at Yuu. "Is a Marshal. Now I'll just leave the talking to her. Go ahead, Yuu. I'll check the other," he said, patting the Beelstarrmon's shoulder.
Now, he turned to Dualdramon. "Sorry about that. Are you OK? Is there any wound from that attack? I sure hope it won't hurt you too at it... Blood can rush to my head faster than I can control it." He's not sure what to make of this Digimon. It felt like it's some form of jogress... either that or is this something else? "Anyway, rest assured, There won't be any fight anymore. I'll check on the other if you don't mind..."
Now, Ilbert finally reached where Colin and everyone else. Ryouta took a leap and landed lightly where the trio are. The sight of his protege unharmed spread a smile on his face. He offered a hand for the boy to take. "Yo, boya... That was hectic, isn't it? C'mon, let's get inside the train."
The data surrounding the train concentrated into a figure of an old, yet sturdy butler, bowing in front of Ryouta and Colin's group. "Young master has ordered for the best seat to be prepared. You can come inside anytime, young mister Colin and his entourage."

As the sonic boom made contact with the missile pod, Dualdramon practically cringed from the amount of force being projected. The attack may have looked simple, but there was more force concentrated in it than most of the blows the bros had ever seen in the Digital World. Suddenly, they were acutely aware of how small they were comparatively, even with how far they had come. The amalgamate kept its eyes squeezed shut until they felt the sonic boom whiz past them, at which point it slowly cracked a single eye open.
The missile pod had been smashed up badly, ruined beyond function. But for a weapon so smashed up, it seemed to weather the blow shockingly well. For one, it didn't explode, meaning it was powerful enough to shelter the missiles inside even after taking such a powerful blow head-on. That was the weapon, too, rather than the actual hull. They could only wonder what the machine's actual armor could resist. Just what was this thing made out of? Suddenly, the bros were very glad they weren't the ones to piss this thing off. They waited with bated breath to see what it would do, especially as it locked all of its remaining armaments onto the assailant.
And then it stood down. Their internal sighs of relief were matched by Dualdramon's external one, its tensed-up body releasing now that it was no longer in the line of fire. They nodded at Ryuota's inquiry, opening their mouths as if to respond.
That's when the machine's handlers started talking. And judging by their reaction, they had a few misconceptions about how this place worked. Quantum supercomputers? Loads of money? Huge research teams? That didn't line up with, well, anything that they knew about this place. The Gargoylemon head of the hybrid dragon opened its mouth to speak, but the Devidramon head quickly nudged it. It seemed it was time for a brotherly huddle! It was an odd sight for sure, seeing a two-headed dragon hunched over and whispering to itself.
"Why'd you stop me? I was just gonna tell them the truth."
"I don't trust these guys one bit. How do you think they're gonna react if they find out getting to the Digital World's as easy as stepping on a train? We're gonna see a lot more of . . . whatever the heck that thing is, for starters."
"Maybe that's just a Shibuya thing. Like, we're at the place where the worlds touch, and anything else is stupidly tiring and expensive? And if its just Shibuya, what are they gonna do? Ask the Japanese nicely to let them march their tanks into Shibuya?"
"And if it isn't, and they just find a nice, wide open Digiport in the middle of-"
Dualdramon stole a quick look at the flags on the Nanowerx crew.
"-London?"
"Yeah. That'd be worrying. But I mean, they already built this portal, so its kinda too late now."
"And I don't think running over to Britain to smash up their portal is gonna make things any better. It'd probably just piss them off more. So okay, you're right. Cat's outta the bag."
"Maybe we should give them a stern warning to never come back?"
"You know that never works."
"It was worth a shot . . .
Lets just see how this talk goes, then think of a plan."
Dualdramon nodded with both heads, then turned back to the Nanowerx crew. "Sorry, we don't have a clue about anything you're talking about. We literally just fell in the trash and ended up here," the amalgamate said.

"Whoa, go Ryu" Bellamy cheered as Slayerdramon's attack made its effect. The two digimon and their partner continued to observe the scene. There was now another amazing looking digimon on the scene - a BeelStarrmon, according to Luke.
"Huh, she sounds familiar" Bellamy remarked. "Although I don't think I've ever met her before, I wonder who that is?" he wondered as she made her speech to the humans and their walking tank.
As for the tank itself, it appeared to stand down, and the humans appeared to be conversing with the powerful digimon on the field. Although Ryouta seemed to withdraw and moved back to the GranLocomon, who steamed across the battlefield toward where they were. Colin's eyes widened as he saw the mega level digimon up close. Bellamy and Luke were also quite impressed.
"Hey, guys" said Luke, brightly. "Well... er, we certainly got a lot more than we bargained for out in the field today".
The Slayerdramon SU reached for Colin's hand. The nervous thirteen year old took it, and as he did so, he felt a feeling of relief pulse through him. That they were going to be alright.
"Wow, Ryouta, this is some nice ride you've got here" he said, unable to stop smiling as he saw Ilbert's interior. The butler materialized and invited them in. "Oh, wow, thanks" Colin said, feeling a bit embarrassed to receive such warm hospitality. But he was glad to be among friends again.
Colin, Luke and Bellamy boarded the GranLocomon as invited and awaited the butler's further directions.

In all frankness, Yuu didn't know if this people was just arrogant or if they were showing off. As intelligent as they supposedly were given the design of that... thing, they seemed like they lacked some elementary reasoning skills or were playing dumb.
Yuu went for the latter, given the former's implausibility. Still, that didn't mean that she was going to just stand there and watch as the conversation unfolded. Ryouta's intent seemed to fully match with getting the hell out of Dodge as fast as possible, but unless these people already stated clearly what they wanted, she wouldn't do the same.
In the end, she concluded that exchanging information this way was probably not the best way to do it. And in all honesty... she had to admit that this NanoWerx thing interested her. After all, chances were that they'd tread on this world again, and if they intended to do so, the smartest thing was to, at the very least, know what their objectives were and if they sounded like they could be trusted in any way. After all, they were part of a company, and she knew full well that most of the time, the only thing that companies are interesting in is... profit.
"We don't belong to any organization or company of the human world." She finally responded, gazing directly at the supposed group of humans. "If you want to learn about more about who I am or about this place, however, I demand for a more civilized and sensible situation. Choose a representative and send it here, then we can probably work something out. Conversing in this way is probably one of the worst ways to handle this."
Needlessly stressing, and with everyone pretty much having their weapons on the table. The tension had been able to be cut with a knife, and that wasn't exactly the best if they were supposed to go diplomatic, in all honesty. Cooling down the situation was probably the smart thing to do right now.
Then... it'd probably depend on how this evolved.

There seemed to be a lot of radio chatter going on, with hushed voices between the people in the vehicles, and apparently some sort of HQ or central command. The tank continued to idly look around, still robotically scanning for targets, seemingly completely undeterred by the damage.
"We can get CEO Isaac Winters on the line to discuss this further, if you de-activate your weapons systems."
With that, the driver pulled out a thick frisbee sized disc, and placed it on the bonnet of the vehicle, the centre of it looked like a projector lens some sort, which started to glow orange and created a series of 3D scan lines, before the text "calibrating hologram." flickered into view, the lens making little clicking and whirring sounds as it automatically cleared up the image, the text changing into the word "Ready".

Inside the train, Ryouta just let Ilbert do his thing, but it doesn't look as if he's going to devolve anytime soon. His eyes still fixed at the sight very far away. He sat on one of the chair provided. Meanwhile, Ilbert seem to let the guests to do what they want. The door to the compartment closed... and once again, a holographic screen showing what happened outside is shown in front of Ryouta.
"Colin, you can sit anywhere. If you want anything, just tell me," Ryouta told him, but never once did he even bothered to look at the boy. If he can be honest, he still doesn't trust those exploration team people. Yuu is still there, so he's not worried, but... on the other hand, it's very sketchy. He really doesn't want anything to happened to his cousin... and hope that she know better than to devolve and shows her human form... Considering how low those people understands about Digimon, he hoped that she would only dispel the gun.
Ilbert, on his master's stead, pat the boy on his back. "Come, young mister Colin. No need to be reserved. I have heard the circumstances from my master. An apprentice of my master or sort, correct? Just relax. You will not be harmed inside this compartment. Also, young master, do you want some sake as usual?"
"Citrus this time, thanks."
"At once, young master."

Dualdramon looked at the machine as it made its request, wide-eyed. What the heck were they asking? "We're a dragon!" the amalgamate protested, frantically gesticulating to itself. "We don't even have any weapons systems to disable. What the heck do you want us to do?"
Well, there was some way to disable their weapon systems. Or, at least, put them away temporarily. After all, they were spirit users. Isaac could practically feel the suggestion coming to his brother's mind, shooting him a furious whisper. "Don't. Even. Think about it."
"There's no way they'd lash out against a human, right? Especially not with that much power," Elliot whispered back, Dualdramon going right back into its huddle.
"And what are they going to do when they see a Digimon turning into a human? Do you know how many questions this is going to raise? What if they try and cut us open to find out how we work or something?"
"I wouldn't let them catch us if it came to that. And I don't think that guy would, either." The Gargoylemon head motioned towards Ryouta. "Besides, you know how uncomfortable staying fused makes me. Especially for the bigger forms. It makes my brain feel all icky."
"Okay. Fine. But if this goes south, I'm transforming right back and getting you the hell out of here." With that last word Dualdramon shimmered brightly, its gleaming white silhouette seeming to unravel before separating into two serpentine dragons. These light forms didn't last very long either, curling into balls that reshaped themselves into two human figures. The light surrounding them dispersed as they hit the floor, Elliot and Isaac standing before the hologram.
"Weapons disabled, sir," Isaac said, voice as dry as the Sahara Desert.

Colin made a noise of affirmation when Ryouta said he could sit down wherever he wanted. "Okay" he said, taking a seat on the other side of the compartment, still in view of the holographic screen that Ryouta was looking at. The boy was still transfixed on what was happening.
Bellamy and Luke meanwhile sat next to their partner, appreciating how comfortable the seats were.
"Heh, now this is what I call style" Bellamy said, pleased at the soft leather. "Still pickin' splinters out of my butt from those cheap wooden seats on the other Trailmons, although I guess that's down to low budget stuff"
"Thanks" Colin said to Ilbert, glad that he was relatively safe now. He saw that Ryouta was probably occupied with the hologram screen, so he didn't want to interrupt at this critical time. "And yeah, I guess I am an apprentice of sorts, you could say that" he said, nodding.
Luke, however, felt the need to know. "Hey Ryouta, is that Yuu and Kyo out there?" he asked. "It's just they sounded kind of familiar somehow. And do you know who that two headed dragon is as well?" he saw the dragon de-digivolve all of the sudden... then turned into two more humans. "Jesmon Christ mode I didn't know you humans could do that" he said, astonished. But where were their digimon partners?
Bellamy's ears perked up at the mention of 'sake'. "Heya, can I have some?" he asked. "I, uh, need to loosen these nerves a little, eheh"

At least the situation was mostly under control now. Ryouta's hotheadedness had subsided, and while the robot-thing could still become a threat at any given moment, the hostilities seemed to have ceased completely at this point. Something to be glad about, in all honesty.
The result of her attempt at diplomacy had been somewhat better than expected, in all honesty; she expected to talk with an emissary or something of the sort, but got the CEO instead. Even if it probably could be through an hologram, just as the device they brought seemed to evidence, at least she would get in touch with one of the higher ups.
Of course, if they were to talk, getting rid of one's weapons was probably common courtesy, just that wasn't something that preoccupied the digimon all that much; in a pinch, returning to the offensive wasn't that hard.
And so, she sighed as she withdrew her weapons back into their holsters. Even if she found the need to react in a pinch, at least she was sure that Colin was safe right now. Elliot and Isaac, however... she'd have to have an eye open just for them, but at least they didn't seem to be as green as Colin was.
"There you go; disabled. Shall we proceed?"

The portable hologram generator flickered for a moment, before the image of a man in his mid 50s phased in. He was wearing a sharp business suit. The man had a small glass of whiskey in his hand, which he quickly downed, placing the now empty glass on a table to his side. He had a stern look to him, grey slightly spiked hair and a grey well trimmed beard showing his age, however when he spoke it was in a calm, personable tone.
"So, what new world changing discovery have you found today alpha two?"
"We've found humans already in the digital world, boss. There may be a human population living here already."
"... You're sure of this? How did they get here without a quantum transfer uplink?"
"I have no bloody idea, but see for yourself. The cameras should be coming online... now."
The hologram generator clicked and whirred a couple of times, the hologram of the CEO looking at the group with some disbelief in his eyes, however, he quickly regained his composure, adjusting his tie. After all, it would simply not do to start off potential diplomatic talks on the wrong foot like that.
"Hello. I am Isaac Winters, CEO of NanoWerx Industries."

"Mmm?" Ryouta turned to Colin and his crew finally. "Yeah, that's Yuu and Kyo. How do you know them if you don't mind me asking? Yuu's my far cousin... our grandmothers are cousin, so we're third cousins or so, unless I count them wrong. Anyway, I don't know that dragon, but... I guess they are Spirit Users. Those humans can borrow the power of a deceased Digimon that cannot turn into Digitama and become Digimon themselves. But it's certainly the first time for me to see Jogressing spirit user... I wonder how would they head feels?"
Still, he cannot say that it's a great choice to show that they're humans to those researchers. It might actually gave them weirder idea, he thought. Still, Yuu doing Yuu thing, as he hoped. Ryouta felt his lips widened into a small grin. That's Yuu for you.
Ilbert, hearing the request of the Impmon bowed politely. "At once, young sir. Do you wish for a more fruity one or rice based one? Or maybe you would like wines or beers?"
Still, Ryouta once again looked toward the battlefield.
...that man looks perplexed somewhat... If only I can listen to what happened outside, that would be awesome, but even my Digimon-fied hearing have its limit.. Still, is it OK for a CEO-looking person to even get surprised at this sort of thing? In my opinion, that would damage the reputation of the company more...
Then, he finally returned to Colin again.
"Do you guys want any sort of food? I'm a bit hungry to be honest~"

Quantum transfer whatlink? This all seemed really complicated to the bros, when all they had to do to get here was fall into the trash. But that was just further proof there was something special about Shibuya. For a second, Isaac couldn't help but imagine how hugely different his life would be without having moved here. What if his mom's friend from college lived in Kyoto or Osaka or something? So much would've been completely different! Maybe it was lucky that this move ended up happening, especially now that he and Elliot were getting so used to things over there.
Of course, his thought process was interrupted by hearing the name of the Nanowerx CEO. What? He was supposed to be the only Isaac around here, damnit!
It seemed like by now, most of the group had retreated to a train with a face on it. This was different from most of the trains with faces on the Digital World because this one looked a lot more kickass. This left the diplomatic relations crew to some sort of Digital World constable and a pair of small teens. Something told the brothers that this wasn't exactly the emissary group that the Nanowerx CEO was expecting, and yet it was the group he would have to be dealing with. Immediately the two looked at each other, trying to see who on their end would take the lead on this conversation. After a few minutes of this deliberation they immediately turned to the constable, figuring she was the best choice for actually explaining this situation.
Still, introductions were in order. "Um, hello there," Elliot said. "I'm Elliot, and this is my brother, Isaac." That'd do for now, but maybe once the constable set the diplomatic tone for tonight they'd join back into the conversation.

From his seat behind Ryouta, Colin watched as the situation on the battlefield seemed to stabilize. In the feed coming from the area around the warmech, Colin saw a hologram of a human. He bit his lip at the implications of this. While he was only 13 and didn't know much about the global military-industrial complex, he did know that if human military forces started getting involved in the digital world, things would get messy.
Then Ryouta asked how they knew Yuu and Kyo. Apparently Yuu was Ryouta's cousin. Wow, that was a pretty big coincidence there. "Ah, Yuu was the first person I met when I came to the digital world" Colin answered Ryouta. "She and her partner Kyo, they helped me kind of get to terms with what had happened when I ended up in Terminus City"
Then Ryouta explained that the others on the battlefield were in fact Spirit users. "Whoa..." Colin exclaimed. That was certainly not something that he had thought possible here.
Bellamy and Luke meanwhile watched the Spirit users with curiosity. While neither of them disliked spirit users persay, both of them, as digimon that had been reconfigured due to their souls being intact, felt a little uneasy around phenomenae that rendered a digimon unable to be reborn. To them, it was a sacred right of a digimon to continue in a new life. If they weren't, well, that was horrible. But if those digimon lived on through the humans, well, they would need to take a closer look before they could make a judgement.
Bellamy meanwhile paid heed to Ilbert's question. "Well... I guess a rice based sake might be good, thanks, mister" he said, happy at the service.
Then Ryouta asked if they wanted any food. Colin blinked for a moment, then pondered.
"Well, I wouldn't mind some snack food if I'm honest" he said. Something like potato chips or fruit would be most welcome. He didn't think that having a meal that required cutlery or chopsticks would be appropriate in a situation like this.
As Colin watched the screen, the other two humans on the field seemed to defer the discussions to Yuu and Kyo. Colin looked on eagerly.

Well, at least stuff was beginning to look better. Hostilities had ceased, and while the atmosphere had still a quota of tenseness on it, at least there wasn't any danger of laser beams and missiles to take into the terrain... for now.
She had somewhat expected it, but the fact that, now that Ryouta was inside the train with Colin and that Elliot and Isaac were now looking at her for mediation, she guessed that... she'd be in charge of the diplomacy? Not like the blonde was the most diplomatic person ever, but she certainly could try.
Even Kyo seemed to be okay with her taking the reins, and had assumed a less active role on their biomerging so she could speak more freely. Geez.
"Greetings. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Mr. Winters; my name's Tsumura Yuu and my job is to enforce the laws that govern this land. I cannot speak on behalf of all the inhabitants of this world, but I can assure you that most of the beings gathered in here wish for a peaceful resolution of... whatever's happening in here."
After the initial pleasantries, her gazed turned more intense, just she stared at the hologram.
"So, the question that remains unanswered is. What do you want from the world you're currently intruding in? And... is there any way for you to accomplish it in a way that won't result in more bloodshed?"
Yuu knew for a fact that scaring them out would probably not result into anything good, and once that the information was around, these people probably wouldn't give up on the potential that this world offered. So... she guessed that the best she could do was at least agree into making these people's presence safer for both humans and digimons of this world and smooth any future relationship attempts with the Digital World's powers, if any of them was interested on having them with this company.

(First of all, sorry for the long absence, a mixture of real life issues and technical issues.)
The robot continued idly looking around, its torso rotating like the turret on a tank as it seemingly continued to scan for possible threats. Upon closer inspection, it did seem to be digital. Sort of. Whatever that armour was made out of, it was not out of materials commonly found on Earth, however, the design certainly did not match how typical digimon looked. There also didn't seem to be any room for a pilot, further suggesting this unit was indeed completely automated.
"It is good to meet you as well. We are also not looking for more bloodshed, however, we came prepared to defend ourselves. Our intentions are to explore this previously undiscovered... Or what we -thought- was undiscovered world, until we encountered you. Our teams have actually been surveying these areas for a few months now, and our science teams have made great advancements, one of which you seem to have seen first hand. I can't tell you much as most projects are still classified, however, work is underway to produce new clean energy sources, new materials and new ways of producing enough food to end world hunger using copies of the reconfigurable data that creates this world."
