Well here it was, the hopeful end to the road Dust was on. Right in plain sight in the human world, kinda Ironic considering his circumstances. Staring up at the massive building he couldn't help but feel slightly, nah stupidly nervous at this building due to what might be inside. He was in his Holo suit so there was no chance of him getting discovered by the humans, even if he couldn't get back to his Beelzemon form yet he hopefully wouldn't need it for this area. And now he had Eva, baring in mind Noire and Gundramon's help was the most useful digimon he has had around, and hopefully had come up with a plan of some sort to figure out how to go about this, since the amnesiac and Luna didn't exactly have the know how of the human world to come up with a way to go about this.
Bringing everyone together was easy enough, meet up in Terminus then walk here, even so Luna though the girl has made it nearly hellish to get here, nearly getting lost at every turn and going into crowds turned more into a where's waldo then just a simple crossing, but he was glad he brought her either way since, despite not liking to admit this, she was probably the strongest when Dust was out of commission, which only confused him at how easily Alphamon knocked her out.
"Alright then, here it is." Dust mumbled to himself looking over his group, Luckily Luna hadn't decided to go somewhere that was totally the right direction to go. "Going to be frank I've got no idea what to do about this, you guys got any idea?" He admitted sighing afterwards, the human world was just so confusing, also what was a mall. "Same as always Dust, just go in guns a blazing an-" Quickly Dust raised his hand stopping the girl. "No, that NEVER ends well Luna." Dante, Gallatin, That weird building and the Knightmon, when has rushing in ever ended well for the pair.

It was about then when Eva showed up, exactly on time. Seemed she hadn't fully healed because even with her holosuit on she still had an eyepatch covering that injury from the fight with the black knight looking guy. "Sure, go in guns blazing, perform an act of terrorism on Japanese soil. I'm sure that will go over great, especially considering what we are. She adjusted the eyepatch slightly to sit more comfortably. Turns out some holosuits for extra realism show injuries. Still looks nasty as heck under this. So..." She clapped her hands together. "You have a plan? Might be best to let me do the talking, seeing as I know how this place works. That said, some people in Japan aren't too keen on foreigners, and well... I'm British."
Apart from the eyepatch, Eva was looking fairly good. The holosuit was holding up well, rather than flickering like the last time. "I tried to look up more about the shop that stocked those pendants. Certainly the mall here. I have a cover story in mind too, taking your amnesia into account. We were in a car accident." she gestures to her eyepatch. "I lost my eye, you lost your memory. Just don't say anything stupid, either of you, and we should be golden here."

Luna seemed confused at Eva's statement. "What, no I didn't mean actual guns, that was a Metaphor. I'm not THAT stupid, I don't even own a gun. Also what's Terrorism?" Dust simply stared at Luna for a second shaking his head. "Well you've seem to got the cover story all set, The plan seems simple enough though, go in and ask about the pendent, if they know something great, if they don't then." Dust scrached the side of his head a tad bit embarrassed that he couldn't come up with anything on the way here. "Then I don't know what next, you're the only one here with any know-how on this place." Though the best course of action would be to forget right? Alphamon's dead and Dust has no more leads so, what next could happen?
Though that stupid comment caught Dust's attention. "Heh, Don't worry while I don't know much about the world I do know how to keep attention away from myself." Dust assured her, but he wasn't that sure on Luna. "And I won't say anything, I'll just be here for the worst case scenario, 's all I'm good for anyway." Luna said surprising Dust, if she was going to hold to that promise he didn't know. "Anyway what are we waiting for, sooner we finish this sooner it's done, where to Eva, Dust?" Luna said again shocking Dust that she actually managed to remember her name, it hadn't been that long but, she even forgot his about a hour after he hired her.
"I did some digging also, all I could find out is it might be on the top floor. Couldn't hear anything about what store exactly but it's a good place to start." Dust replied, though Eva might of found more at least he had something.

"If they don't, we look it up online. Has to be a serial number or a maker's mark. If not, well, I'm all out of ideas." She nodded at what Dust had to say regarding location. "That's what I found as well. Top floor, place called "Hi-Ho Silver". She shook her head at that. "Stupidest name ever. Well. Time's a wastin'. Let's get going."
With that, she headed to the mall, stepping through the automatic doors and looking around. On the first floor it seemed to be mostly tourist stuff, things that someone visiting Japan would spend an absolute fortune on when the product itself should be super cheap. Things like I <3 Japan mugs and the like. Eva soon found a map on a large touchscreen embedded into a decorative display off to the left of a walkway, next to a couple of vending machines. She started to flick through it with one hand, operating an automated coffee machine with the other and grabbing a much needed pick-me-up. "Okay, so we're here... Electronics and stuff are on the next floor... Ah. There we are, Hi-Ho Silver. Place has been here a while, relatively upscale sort of shop, but, well, it's a jewellers so it would be. Best way of of getting there seems to be taking those escalators."

Hi-Ho Silver? Dust didn't get the reference. "Well if you say so." What was so wrong with the name? Dust looked around the entire place, with the tourist stuff all around and a large map nearby Dust wasn't exactly sure about the appeal of this place, sure the mall in Terminus was large but nothing this stupid was around, cept maybe that useless move that was pretty stupid.
Dust suddenly snapped back looking back for Luna, only to find she was still following them. "Ok, good." Maybe he shouldn't assume she was going to get lost but, this was Luna. "Yeah alright." Dust said walking over to the escalators, he wondered why humans were called stairs this but he wasn't about to, wait was he moving? Dust looked down to find the step was moving upward. "The hell?" Dust asked his balance getting a little messed up. Though Luna was behind him holding him back up. "C'mon Dust it's just moving stairs, what are you scared of that?"
"H-hell no I just, didn't expect them to move is all." And now some people were looking at him weirdly, but quickly looked away just thinking he was weird. "Why does it move anyway, walking up is fine enough." Dust mumbled annoyed he just made a arse out of himself. Eventually he reached the top glad to be off that moving staircase. Looking around he managed to locate the shop nearby. Walking quickly over to it wanting this to be done he pushed the door open revealing the shop, there were quite a selection, rings, pendents Earrings. Even a large sign over the counter that simply said. 'Custom works aswell.' Under the counter was one 40 something man looking bored over the counter, the store was mostly empty though with only one or two people browsing the goods strangely.

Oh dear. Escalators. Eva had forgotten that these people weren't exactly well versed in such normal things of the "real" world. They were going to make a damn scene, weren't they? She looked at the two of them with their confusion about the stairs, giving them a glance as if to say "Guys, you're making a scene. Don't do that." Eva was almost regretting not doing this little mission solo, but, it seemed they had figured it out anyway. The cybernetically enhanced British digimon was still taking the lead on things, the holosuit still concealing her digital world appearance just fine as she entered the shop and looked around.
This place was certainly too rich for her blood. Even if she could have afforded it in the first place, all this fancy bling really wasn't her style. Nonetheless, she had a job to do here as she waited for her turn to speak to the shopkeeper, holding the pendant in her hand. "Good morning. My two friends over there and I were wondering when you sold this pendant? Or if he was with anyone when he purchased it? It's rather important. You see, he lost his memory recently after a car accident we were both in and this pendant seems to have a connection to someone he knows. We're hoping finding out more about it will jog his memory."

Dust was annoyed that he let himself get freaked out like that, so much so apparently Eva had to remind them about it, though Luna, on the other hand, was offended giving a glance back that seem to say. "I didn't even do anything this time." Still, they just followed along into the store lagging behind Eva as she asked the questions, technically speaking she wasn't lying to them about everything per say, still it did sit with Dust a bit off he had to lie, even if it wasn't him doing it.
The shopkeep took a moment to look at Eva, then Dust and Luna for a bit before hearing her out. Staring at the pendant for a few moments before reaching out for a second asking for the pendant. "Yeah, let me see it for a second." If given he would inspect it closely for a few moments, taking the two pieces apart for a second and putting them together setting it on the counter before he slid his chair back a bit typing on the computer. "So he was in a car accident?" He asked looking back at Dust for a few seconds. "Yeah, it was a while ago though." Luna lied figuring it would have been obvious they'd come after he was ok. "My condolences, my Cousin got in a nasty one." He mentioned just making casual conversation.
"It was made a while back, two years ago to someone with the last name Zaleskas for a friend, surprised you managed to break it." He mentioned putting it back on the table. "Does that name sound familiar?" he asked seemingly a bit concerned for the teen. Though Dust had his eyes closed for a bit before opening them, a bit of a sullen look on his face. "Y-yeah, it does." he said little to no confidence in his words.

"Yeah. Big black Mitsubishi came out of a turning doing at least twenty over. Smashed right into us."
Eva handed over the pendant, looking on as the jeweller got out his tools, examining it more closely. She was almost as curious as to the result of it as Dust was, of course, minus the personal connection. That black armoured creature acted as if it knew him, acted as if they had a history, a rather rocky one. However, if they were enemies, then why such a pendant as this, seemingly signifying friendship? There was certainly much more to this story which was rapidly becoming more and more apparent, what with Dust's reaction to when a name was finally revealed.
"You don't sound so sure. Are you uh, are you okay there?"

The clerk just shook his head muttering something about damn drivers as he got back to his work of doing pretty much nothing else. Dust still stood there staring off into space for a bit as Luna came a bit closer. "Yeah Dust, are you ok?" Luna asks about to put a reassuring hand on his shoulder before Dust suddenly and abruptly slapped it away as soon as she got close to him. Panic was a bit evident in his eyes for a few moments before he noticed what he did. Luna stood in shock for a moment as Dust slowly backed up.
"L-luna I, Er damn." Dust said as he kept backing up holding his head in pain. "Zaleskas, Mai. I ah. I g-gotta go." Dust said stuttering as he suddenly made a beeline out of the store as fast as he could bumping into people as he stumbled turning before running back to the entrance they came from, pushing people out of his way as he did without a care.
"Dust, Wait. Stop!" Luna shouted before going after him worried about what the heck just happened.

"Ah crap. Uuh, I'd better take that back. Sorry, I should go catch him before something bad happens here. Thanks for the help!"
Eva took off sprinting as soon as she managed to retrieve the pendant from the presumably baffled shopkeeper. Holosuit or not, the digimon was still a cybernetically augmented Renamon, with all the athleticism that entailed. She was on the top floor balcony overlooking the rest of the mall, eyes and ears scanning the area, desperately trying to figure out just where Dust could have gone off too.
She had to do something. She had to do something fast, before either he or someone else got hurt. There! Right there! One floor down, headed right for the exit! Eva took off again, deftly avoiding the heavy foot traffic in her chase, in her beeline to him vaulting over a small decorative wall, before finally catching up with him at the entrance coming to a stop right next to him.
"Hey, slow down! It's okay. Deep breaths, in and out."

Dust wasn't slow himself but he wasn't capable of pushing through the crowd as easy as he normally could, bumping into everyone on his way to try and get outside, he needed to get out and away from everyone else right now. Eventually making it nearby, only to have Eva come nearby catching up to him rather faster then he expected. Not within his own mind at the moment he didn't even seem to hear her and tried to just keep running away. "Just leave me alone!" He shouted attempting to shove Eva aside, he definitely didn't sound alright though grabbing his head.
Luna though was struck as she ran after Dust, getting passed easily by Eva, though watching as Eva ran around the top floor she seemed to be finding out where Dust was, seeing him running off as well Luna ran as fast as she could before jumping off the top floor straight down into the crowd scaring quite a few people, but that didn't matter right now as she ran off through the crowd after him as well.

This looked like a panic attack, at least, to her it did. Eva had those from time to time and she knew how to deal with them. At least, she knew how to deal with them when it was just her by her lonesome, but, in someone else? That was a different matter altogether. Should she just try to explain what she did? Her methods of coping? She stumbled back from the shove, even under the holosuit her cybernetics working to keep her balance near impeccable. What was she to do? Chase after him? No. No, that would just cause more panic. How would she keep him from getting into trouble though? She couldn't up and cloak here, too many people around to just have some random person vanish into thin air.
"For f*ck's sake! Just stop! Slow down, you're having a god damn panic attack, so just stop and take a breath before you hurt yourself!"
