Walking in Terminus yet again for how many times he have no idea, but at least this time around... THIS TIME AROUND, he's with Dorumon form! The ever-glorious Dorumon form! Hikaru made a guts pose in public, making Yuuki sigh. Is being Dorumon again that great? Well, whatever, he's not the one that would judge... NOT! He one again sighed as the Dorumon started to dance around.
"...Hikaru, you..." Yuuki only muttered.
He's out of words if one can say. He have no idea what to do anymore, the Dorumon just starting to play his bagpipe at it too! Really, he's out of words. OK, It's nice and all to stand on both of your feet and it's also nice to have hands that you can use to play your bagpipe with, but honestly... Speaking of his bagpipe, Hikaru's bagpipe is custom made for the Dorumon's use. Ah, luckily now it's not sounding like anything like a million plastic duck from hell.
"Vivaaaa child formeee~~" she posed in front of the fountain, looking absolutely ecstatic.
"...Oh well, I'll let him pass this time..."

Terminus City, ah, the capital of vice; simply the place to be for a digimon in the "Vogue", as the humans say?
Owen the Gaomon was here today, walking the streets. His boxing gloves stowed away in his backpack, having hopefully no need to use them. And seeing as he felt particularly casual and snazzy, he was wearing a dark blue button-up shirt as he walked through the town.
It was in the shoppin mall that he noticed something unusual. A Dorumon... playing the bagpipes. It sounded rather good actually.
Owen quickly consulted his guide to "Things that are Legal and Things that are not" and thankfully fount Public Music in the legal section. Well then! In that case, he might approach and see if the Dorumon might do requests?
He walked up to the Dorumon. "Hey there!" he said loudly over the bagpipe playing. "Can I please engage your goods and/or services? I mean to say, I have a request" he smiled a little. "Can you play Hirari?" he asked eagerly.

"Ara? Engaging in goods and or service?" Hikaru tilted his head. "Oh, you mean my music playing?" he guessed there are no harm indeed in doing it, so why not? He immediately starts playing. For some reason he felt rather nostalgic. Why he wonder? It felt like there is a butterfly that flies along with him as he plays it... His eyes got a bit misty, but regardless, he played it until it's done.
"Hehe, what do you think eh? I'm not really a street performer actually. I'm just celebrating me evolving to this stage! It's been too long since I walked on my two feet! But nonetheless, I hope that was adequate. I don't think I've seen you around here, chap... or Terminus is juuust that big? Whatever the case, name's Hikaru!" he pointed at himself, then pointed at his partner ."That guy over there is my partner Yuuki!"
"Oh, finally you're done?" somehow Yuuki got a bit teary eyed too just now. Why he wonder? Whatever, he pat the Dorumon's head. "We're just a traveler you can say~"

Owen greatly appreciated the song. It sounded wonderful on the bagpipes. "Ah such glorious strains! Very nice! You play that pretty well" he said, smiling. This smile faltered when the Dorumon said he wasn't a street performer, just simply celebrating. "Ah, I see... it's just I thought when humans wear that skirt and play those instruments it's generally for music" he chuckled.
So the human was Yuuki and the Dorumon was Hikaru. "Okay. My name's Owen. It's nice to see that other digimon are using names as well, all these humans showing up in the digital world must be having its effect!". Owen had been uncertain when he started telling people that his name was Owen and not just "Gaomon". It was like the name meant something significant to him, while the other was just the name of his species.
Hikaru said that he hadn't seen Owen around Terminus before. "Yeah that's probably right, I think I'd remember a Dorumon dressed like that if I met one" he chuckled. "Travellers eh?" he looked at Yuuki. "And you've just digivolved too? So are you two new to the digital world?" he asked, hoping that he might be able to assist them with some good old tutorials and opening cutscenes.

"Actually these are attributes of what looks like came from a nation called United Kingdom," Hikaru informed. Not sure if that's right or not. "Scotland I guess? Well, anyway, I'm wearing this just as a fashion statement. I just think it's cool, see. Not that I'm originated from there, but someone just gave it to me."
Hmm, he's not sure if the matter about name is because human or there are something else, but it's true he guess that rarely a Digimon assigned name for themselves. Most of them goes with species name. He gone with species name for a long while too, until he get rather tired of it... no... more like, suddenly Yuuki gave him a name. He gave him a name and... that name made him really happy. Like he finally become so close with his partner.
"Mmm?" Yuuki seem to be a bit perplexed with the sudden gesture. "No, no, we're just recently restarted from zero after a really huge battle, so he got degenerated to his lowest form. He's just recently returned to this form after a battle, so honestly we're more to veteran than newbies?"
"I don't know if you would believe it, but I was an Alphamon~" Hikaru said with an 'ehen', then poses rather smugly. "What about you?"

"United... Kingdom?" Owen asked, tilting his head. "Aren't all kingdoms meant to be united though? Huh, the humans have an odd way of naming places. It'd be a bit like Town City or Mountain Hill, heh" he chortled at his own kind of lame joke.
Scotland though, that intrigued him. "Ohh, that place" he said, recognizing it as a place on Earth where humans spoke funny and held referendums about things like Independence and Breakfast every year. At least the Gaomon was sure that was the right word... "I understand about the fashion statement though, it looks great" he finished. His own shirt seemed a bit plain by comparison. But it had useful things like pockets and prevented his backpack from digging great ridges through his fur via the straps.
Then Yuuki said that he and Hikaru were veterans that had started from zero. Owen blinked, looking between them with a look of curiosity. "...Really?" he asked. He found that... a little hard to believe if he was honest. But it did happen sometimes to digimon, he supposed, what with reconfigurations.
"Well, as far as I remember, I've just been a Gaomon" Owen admitted. "Of course that's not to say that I was always one, I could have been the reconfigured form of a mighty MirageGaogamon or a MagnaGarurumon!" he puffed out his chest a little with cockiness as he said that, then thought he'd best finish on an honest note. "But... I don't seem to remember much before Primary Village, when I was a Wanyamon". He had been momentarily excited about the prospect of having once been a mega, then realized it wasn't much to brag about if he didn't remember jack about it.

"Not all kingdoms are united. Human world got lot of kingdoms, and apparently these kingdoms forms union called United Kingdom," Hikaru said, but he, once again, isn't really sure about these. "...I felt like something like Town City and Mountain Hill existed, but it might not be in that language..."
"...Lake Tahoe came to mind, that means Lake Lake. Sahara Desert is another, it means Desert Desert. La Brea Tar Pits next, The Tar Tar Pits," Yuuki muttered. "...There are many fun things about language, but it's not my cup of tea unfortunately."
Hearing that the Gaomon boasted that he might be a Mirage Gaogamon, Hikaru just smirked. He seem to be the type that doesn't want to lose with the rest of the guys. Still, he's happy that he's a honest guy. That's good. Honesty is golden in this day and age. "Don't worry about that, Owen. You seem to be a cool guy, so if you believe that you're one, then you're one! But if you believed that you're one, then next you need to surpass your past self! Be a stronger you!"
Hikaru's pep-talk-no-jutsu made Yuuki snickers at time.

"Huh, okay" Owen said, shrugging. In his experience, it was normally logical to name towns after their unique landmarks and qualities, or even after the person that founded it. Another reason why he had chosen to name himself. Yes, other digimon usually looked at him weird or even downright scorned him for thinking he was too good to just be called "Gaomon", but it was the individuality that was most appealing.
"Yeuch, tar pits" Owen exclaimed, making a grimace. They sounded absolutely awful. Another digimon had told him about them, and that if he fell into one, he would never get the tar out of his fur. While he didn't know if it was true, he didn't want to find out.
Then Hikaru said that there was nothing to worry about. If he was once a MirageGaogamon then that was fine, all that mattered was for him to surpass that. "Huh, that's neat advice!" Owen said, smiling. Already in this conversation he thought he wanted to be friends with these guys. He looked at the both of them.
"So you said you were travellers, right?" he asked, eagerly. "Where abouts have you been? What kind of adventures did you have? Oh... if you had bad ones, that's okay, I don't want to ask about those if they hurt too much! But... if you were an Alphamon, you'd have lots of neat stories, right?"

"Trust me, it gets weird in human world, but to human, Digital World is the weird one, so we're even in that one," Hikaru said. "Plus, Snowflake Village? Whitewater City? Ain't that the same anyway? It's a bit redundant here and there, but whatever, I guess," he admitted. "I never gone outside of Japan, though, but I do ever got in a hot spring in Japan. It felt really nice!"
Looks like it's story time, so Hikaru pointed at a small cafe near there. "What about sitting there? Honestly it'll be rather uncomfortable to stand here and all... I'll tell you whatever you wanted to know, over a cup of tea, of course, unless it's not your cup of tea... no pun intended."
Yuuki just chuckled. "Anyway, let's go there..."
Over there, Hikaru sat and a waitress came over to take their order. Once it's sorted, Hikaru leaned forward. "Soo, where should I start I wonder..."

Owen had heard of Japan in the human world. Apparently most of the humans that came to the digital world originated from there. He was a little curious in that regard. Of course, an adventurous digimon like him would be delighted at the chance to step foot in the other world, but he just didn't really know what the process was.
"Sure, that sounds good" Owen said eagerly as Hikaru pointed to a cafe where they might be able to eat. He walked over and sat down, his tail wagging slightly as it poked out from the back of his seat. "Ah I'm fine with tea" he said, happy to have that. Coffee was a bit strong for his tastes.
Then Hikaru asked where they should start. Owen pondered for a subject, then looked at the Dorumon. "Say, how did you meet your partner, Hikaru?" Owen asked. That was something that made him curious, wondering what it was exactly that made some digimon become partners with humans. He also knew that the popular term 'Tamers' was a little offputting sometimes, so he took care not to use that word in case it was offensive. The Gaomon could use this story to help out other digimon who may be searching for their partners.

The Dorumon made a thinking posture and seem to be thinking how to say this... mainly because he was also vague with how it exactly happened prior to this. He was aware, but to think that less than seven years passed in Digital World and he was hounded by lot of events... Yeah, it's getting vague.
"...Hmmm, let's see... if I remembered correctly, I was sent as an egg to the the Real World. With the guidance of his Digivice, Yuuki goes to portal to Digital World. We met nice pair... an Xros general and his Shortmon partner. However, we haven't met them since... By the way apparently not all Digimon and their partner met their partner in condition like ours. There are apparently partners where the egg already hatched and all, or even because of certain bond, a baby can be paired to a human. However, I'm not too sure on that detail... well, let's say after that it was quite uneventful, until there was a certain... uh... part where I was nearly killed."
The part when he's nearly killed is probably the part where Yuuki seriously felt unbridled rage for the first time in years. That and the death of a new friend. Even if they weren't that close, it's still a brick to the face moment...

Owen was fascinated to hear that Hikaru had met his partner on Earth. Apparently the power of the digivice had called him all the way across the dimensional divide. Wow, these digivices sure were powerful. Owen supposed that if he had been destined to have a human partner, he would probably have known about it by now. Oh well. He still didn't mind humans so much.
Other digimon that Owen knew were slightly wary of humans, mainly because wherever humans appeared, battles would happen. Such as the one he had heard about in Snowflake Village and Whitewater City when the Devas had attacked. But then again, in his books, it was the Devas who were at fault. However there was a term he wasn't familiar with.
"Xros... General?" he repeated, tilting his head like a confused puppy. That was a term he was unsure about. He had never met one before.
Then the story grew a little dark when Hikaru mentioned how it had almost ended when he was almost killed.
"O-oh that's fine, we don't have to talk about that" Owen said quickly, noting how dark the mood was becoming at the table. "I-I mean I know how bad it is, to be nearly killed..." he suddenly wished he hadn't said this. Of course they were going to be curious about his story now, and that he would probably have to tell it. He desperately thought of another point. "S-so have you met many digimon without partners like me?" he blabbered, hoping this would spare them from the subject, by now his muzzle growing a little pink.

"Xros General," Yuuki took the tea offered by the waitress to him, then sips it before continuing "is a subtype of chosen that have tons of partner. I have no idea how much exactly, maybe around seven? They're stored in a device called Xros Loader, which is different from the normal Digivice. However, Digimons that follows Xros General are generally on the weaker end of the spectrum... really weak probably? I have no idea, but apparently they're almost as weak as a child stage."
Yuuki too wasn't really clear about it, because so far he just met one if he recall it correctly... Hikaru, noticing Owen's tone, decided to not ask it, but... in return, he'll ask it clearly. "I'll say, I don't think there's anything unpleasant about my death, other than probably the pain itself, but it's already gone. Fury on being killed... I got none, I think. However, fury when a friend is killed, that's all I say. I won't ask your story, but if you think you want to know my story, then it's good."
Hikaru scratched his cheek as he thought for a while.
"...If I have to say, I remember meeting a nice Bearmon called Brad, but otherwise there are none that came to mind..."
Yuuki then snorted. "You forgot the megalomaniac bird."
"Ankh? He's just a munchkin~"

Owen was glad when his cup of tea arrived. It was quite tasty in fact. He sipped his thankfully, careful not to burn his mouth.
"Xros Generals have around seven child level partners, right?" he asked, thinking that was a little bit excessive. And he didn't really like the idea of digimon being 'stored' in a loader. But oh well, as long as they had the choice to be part of a human's 'army' like that, then that was fine with him. "Sounds like it's a lot of responsibility" he remarked, crossing his legs under the table.
Owen heard that Hikaru was a bit more clear about his feelings of the hard times in battle. That he didn't really feel angry about it himself, but was only angry if it happened to friends. That put Owen's fears at ease a little. He then offered to exchange their stories.
Well, Owen always thought that friends needed to be honest with each other. So he decided he'd share his story first. He shifted a bit guiltily in his seat, putting down his cup of tea, then spoke.
"Okay. So, well, I've always been a kind of playful boisterous digimon growing up" the Gaomon began. "But I just couldn't stand bullies. And then one day I saw a Shadramon bullying my friends, trying to take some of their data to evolve himself. He was so awful that I fought him, even if I was a child level and he was an Armor level. My friends saw me fighting and they helped, but... I was really badly burned after we managed to frighten him off" he made a weak smile. "I was bedridden for a week before I could walk again... I thought my burned fur would never grow back, but my friend healed me well enough. She was great. Her name's Cion by the way if you end up meeting her, she's an Arnamon".
With his story told, Owen felt as though a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Then the others mentioned they had met two digimon who had been without partners - a nice Bearmon called Brad, and a megalomaniac bird called Ankh. "I can't say I've met them, but I'll keep an eye out for Brad" Owen said with a smile.

"...Level is a strange thing as Xros General," Yuuki muttered. "Apparently they can get more than child stage partners... However not quite sure, apparently these Digimons are weak, as weak as a child stage. Only when they're fused they're strong. I might need more updates though. But honestly, think of a Whamon as weak as a child stage. Not sure about responsibility though," Yuuki honestly said. "I'm enough with Hikaru alone. He's like seven comedian in one body."
"Hey!"
Yuuki only snickered after. Two of them stays silent when Owen said part of his story. So that's how it was... it's quite similar to them. "...Let's see... where should I begin?" he start telling the story how they gone to the Digital World with three more pair of human and Digimon... then have their train derailed for unknown reason. Then, somehow there was appearance of a lawyer and his Bearmon. They was suspicious of him, but it all gone south when there appears some hero that plays hero literally. He's as weak as them though, but probably weaker. Now that he think of it, isn't Sparkmon was an Xros General's partner? Whatever the case was, he resumed the story and it all goes where a friend of them got killed by the Bearmon, and everyone berserking, evolving to higher stage.
"...By the way," Hikaru interjected "We still vowed revenge to them, but our thirst for vengeance isn't as huge as our other friends, so we kinda would back off it they think that they're not going to have revenge. Also, Cion eh... I'll try to remember that name."
"Ah, that would be great," Yuuki commented. "Brad needs as many friend as he could. He's really nice and a pacifist. He looks really disturbed when he have to fight a certain murderous Bacomon. I think it's hard for his psyche."
