Sada was experiencing some odd things when it came to returning back to Japan. His sick other gave him some strange device and spoke of some things that made no sense to him. Sada seriously thought that the woman was going senile. Sada's mother was in the business of technological advancement, so maybe the stress got to her and she wanted Sada to hold on to something important? Either way, Sada found himself wandering around the city of Japan as he got himself reacquainted with the place that he grew up in. "Haven't really been here since I was a kid. Though, these stories are outrageous. Either way, it's mine now, and I'll stop at nothing to find out why this trashy thing stressed out my parent enough to have me fly over and change schools like that. "There was a lot of regret in Sada's heart, he felt like he broke his promise and abandoned his team. He promised them a championship, but there was no way he could do that now. For the time being, he had to find something else. "What else could possi-"But before his thought could even be finished, the sound of a train could be nearby, but it was a station that was unrecognizable to Sada. " The hell? This device just started to jingle all of a sudden. " Things were now starting to get interesting as the navigation system kicked in, directing Sada to the station terminal. All that really said was that Sada was being "Requested" by someone, but he didn't really know who. "Alright, let's go......"
After a bit of walking, Sada finally managed to make it to the terminal but didn't see anyone else yet.

Finally here! After so much travelling and travelling, this had to be the place! I mean, it was full of humans, so, what else could it be? This had to be the core,
In short, Shiro was really curious about what humans were and where did they even came from. So, they tried to used basic logic: Digimon came from eggs in the Village of the Beggining, therefore, there must be a Village of the Beggining for humans too! After asking every kind of digimon possible about such place, and getting confused answers, they ended up in this mysterious place: The Train Terminal. Shiro wasnt sure what a "Train" was, but it seemed dangerous,from its point of view. Was this like the human eggs?It couldnt be.. seemed to big to be it. Maybe they were born all together.
Wondering around they saw all kinds of people; short, tall, black haired, blonde haired, fat, thin.. for being one species, they sure had a variety of looks. Interesting.
Floating carelessy, they bumped into someone. "Gah! Sorry!" They started mumbling incomprehensible apologies, til they looked up. Oh my- it was one of them! And so close too!
Feeling a bit shocked, they could help but stutter a bit. "A human! So.. close!" In excitement, they floated towards their face and examinated them from all angles. It was fascinating for someone as inexperienced as them.

Trailmon platform... in that place, a humongous, out of place Grand Locomon is docking. Unlike the normal Grand Locomon, it's futuristic in look rather than the more steampunkish look. A tall looking figure jumped out from the train, and it's seem he's here to transport some provision for the other Trailmons. The said figure is about 180 cm tall, with quite the build... however, his face is obscured by hood and a half mask that covers his mouth. He also wears very thick clothes and long jacket that looked like it has seen better days.
"Yo Aniki!" A Vmon jumped out following the tall person "Looks like there's a lost Digimon..."
"Hmn? Well, I guess that one is... Maybe they're partnered?" Ryouta suggested.
"Hmmm, I'll check."
Lately, after his death, Valt became quite proactive. Ryouta can't help but to just smile resignedly. Well, as long as he's comfortable with it, he's fine with it.
"Yo!" the Vmon greeted the two. "New around here, ya two? Name's Valt. Me and my Anik therei can help you in case you want some hand on experience..." Valt pointed at Ryouta with his thumb. Ryouta just merely gave an acknowledging wave at them then continues with his business, mostly feeding the Trailmon and get payment from them for the delivery.
"Uh... You two are partnered, aren't ya?" the Vmon asked again, just to make sure.

With Sada's looking around, he didn;t necessatily notice anything out of the ordinary besides other young adults like himself. As a matter of fact, maybe that was out of the ordinary, what were they all doing here in the first place? What was the purpose of them being here? Also, what were those things that were following those kids around? Each and every creature looked different from the next, leaving the connection to be an incomprehensible result of companionship against aliens. However, being bumped into made things a little bit awkward. "................"Did that thing just speak English? These alien-like creatures can talk? "What....are you?"The grip on Sada's digivice tightened a bit as he heard another Digimon speaking English heading over to them. This particular Digimon had a V insignia on it'ts forehead and was a dark blue color. "They have names?"He mentioned to the other guy, the bigger male that followed behind. "Is that Batista?"What in the hell? This guy was huge! Even with Sada playing rugby, his build was less bulky and more athletic in a way. However, this guy, he was just as big as the coach, and the body percentage was pretty much insane. However, seeing was believing, and this reality ahead of him was just as realistic as the one he potentially left behind. "I don't know anything about partners, but I know one thing. This has just got a whole lot more interesting." Sada smiled, seemingly excited at the idea that he just might have stumbled on what he was looking for, the path to something worth taking for himself.

Shiro couldnt believe what they were hearing, how dares he ask what they were? Wasnt that clear? Everybody could recognize a Digimon when they see one! What a weird reaction, maybe this human came defective or something.
They floated right in front of their face, and poked him in the nose. "What am i? What are you! Isnt it clear? Who doesnt know what a Digimon is?" The comments on their names made Shiro even more speechless. "Of course we have names! Im Shiro, a common Kudamon, if you havent realized yet" They said with mockery on their voice. But then their face changed into a confused one. They sitted on top of his head, and made a thinking pose. "Oi.. its weird to see humans without their companion, wheres your partner?".
Suddenly, a Vmon and another human came to great them. "Hey hey! Im Shiro, nice to meet you. I dont know what you mean by "new" tho.. i just came to see where humans came from! Its a really weird place really... nothing like The Village of Begging..." They trailed off, daydreaming about the mentioned place.
The Vmon made a comment about them being partners. What?! "Wha-? Nonono! Im not with these ... beings. Im a pure loving digimon travelling alone the Digital World. I dont really get this "partner" thing.." Shiro had never even dreamt about making team with humans..what was the benefit? To be honest, they didnt even know how human worked.

Curiously, the other guy start to speak in English... this is Japan though? ---Oh, darn, did he accidentally spoke English? His language seem to be skewed when he got killed in action... this is bad... But for the sake of the other guy, he guess it's better to speak English... although he looked so Japanese!
"...What... am I? Uh, well, I'm a Digimon. Huh, so you're completely new to us? Alright, that's good, we can give you crash course easily..."
...and now he heard that the Kudamon also have no idea what's normal and what's not about human.
"...and you too. It's clear to me that you're lost and this is your first meeting with human."
The "pure loving" bit is kind of strange to Valt. It sounded like the guy came from Luminas or something, them and their 'pure loving'. People there rub him the wrong way just as wrong as the guys in Dark Area talk about survival and whatnots. The two extremes just not something he likes.
"Batis--who? Uh..." Valt took out what looked like smartphone from a small pouch attached to his waist. He seem decided to google it and nod in understanding. "Batista, huh... a wrestler? ...Er, nope, that's my partner, N--I mean, Tatsu!" that was close, but Valt didn't see any benefit in hiding his partner's identity. But being a dutiful partner he is, he decided that he guess he'll play along.
"Ummm... Hey Anikiii!" Valt waved at his partner, who now approached them.
"Sup?" this one guy definitely speaks Japanese. Contrary to his height and musculature, his voice is less deep, more like adolescent. It has cracked and all, but definitely the voice ain't deep enough for his stature.
"Um, so, this guy is apparently a new guy at Digital World business," he pointed at Sada. "And... this Kudamon meanwhile... not sure, he said something about village of beginning."
...At that comment, Ryouta just sighed. "...So basically, a new guy that need Digital World explanation and explanation on human side for the Kudamon--uh... if I recall it right, you said your name is Shiro, right?" Supposedly, Ryouta was standing quite noticeable distance away from the three when they talked, yet he still can hear them well enough? "Alright, name's Tatsu, I'm partnered to this guy here," he pointed at Valt.
"If you want explanation, you can join me on my personal train." he pointed at the Grand Locomon with his thumb. "We can talk easier there. Less noisy for my sensitive ears."
OOC: how I imagine Ryouta's voice is Hanae Natsuki playing his deeper voice range... like Adventure tri's Taichi

"What am I? Funny you should ask since I'm seeing all this through my eyes. but at the same time, your curiosity feels less important if you're treating "me" as the zoo animal." Surprisingly, that line didn't even come off in a rude like way when Sada said it. It was more along the lines of truly believing in what he was going on about. "Shiro and the Kudamon, is that your band name? I'm guessing with that gold ring on your neck, you're the reckless drummer or something? " At this point, the shock was gone and replaced with Sada poking a little fun at the small creature. However, the chances of it understanding that is the same as Sada truly understanding the creature.
When the mention of a partner came up again, Sada, looked around himself and shrugged. "No clue what you're talking about, i'm pretty single these days." Either way, Sada was completely new to this experience, leaving V-mon to volunteer and give Sada some pointers. The bigger male opened his mouth, which actually surprised Sada as to how soft-spoken he was. "Seriously man, if you never spoke and menacingly pointed at people in an action stance, I'd have a hell of a laugh. "
He even had his own personal train, the muscular Richie Rich was the gift that keeps on giving. "Well, I have no reason to say no, and this Village of beginnings, if that's what this Kudamon was trying to mention, could be useful to know. I mean, just as useful as the information you two might have for me. " After that, Sada followed.

Shiro couldnt really get what they were talking about. They did mention this being their first meeting with a human, tho that wasnt true. They had met humans before, or at the very least encountered them, but they just never stopped to analize them. At first, a long time ago, they thought they were just amnother species of Digimon. It would only make sense, right? But then they noticed that they usually make teams with other Digimon, and helped them digievolve. Thats when they got tremendously curious about them. A few friends tossed them some information about humans, you know, the basic stuff. But they just had to see them themselves.
"Uh, yes! Shiro. And thank you, it would be great help! Im a bit lost.. hehe" They hoped from that humans head and floated its way to the Vmon. They shook their hands repeatedly to show gratitude. "Thank you,thank you friend! Lets get going now" They pushed Valt towards the Grand Locomon, Shiro just couldnt wait, they were a bit impatient when they got excited.
Hearing the human voice again, they turned up to face them. "If you are coming too, be quick! Time is gold! By the way, what was your name?" They said after realising they didnt even knew how to call the poor guy aside from "human".

Ryouta's draconic eyes, the slits that are his pupils immediately thinned in annoyance. His voice suddenly dropped few octaves as he deadpanned "...yeah, I don't want to hear anything about my voice right now. At least it's nothing squeaky or feminine, thank you very much." and now it returned to its usual sound "well, that aside, not like I can threaten people unless they really want some piece of me. Generally because this body, that's rare."
Valt just chuckled. "...Well, what can you say, his voice and his body is mismatched slightly, like he's not done growing yet..." Valt seem unconsciously just hit the right spot. Ryouta just sighed in return. "...Eh? No way, really?" the Vmon seem didn't believe it that his partner isn't done growing.
"Yeah, looks like I'm not done growing yet. This is seriously a bother."
"...Homeostasis have mercy," the Digimon whispered. He was surprised when Shiro just pushed him. This time it's the Vmon who looked annoyed. "Hey hey, I can walk myself dangit!"
And that's when the Grand Locomon opened his eyes. The moment they're close enough, bits of data concentrated at one point in front of them and reveals a quite sturdily built old man in butler outfit. The butler respectfully bowed.
"Welcome back, Young Master. It's seem that you got quite the entourage this time too."
"About to teach the basic and all. Can you get the projector ready? As usual, we'll do it in the dining area."
"Understood, let me prepare them for you."
The butler vanished and the Grand Locomon suddenly hummed. By then, anyone had the clue would connect the dots that the Grand Locomon and the butler are the one and the same. The butler is created by some manner of digital technique that allows data to materialize in physical world, and thus acts as a body double.
Ryouta stepped on what looked like platform that can easily move them to the desired compartment. Valt instead told Shiro to hold on the railing so he don't have to fly... because one compartment itself is designed to fit around 50 Metal Greymon sufficiently.
...And now, when the automatic door to the dining compartment opened... let's say, calling it five star hotel would be completely an understatement.
Ryouta pulled a chair on one of the dining table. Ilbert appeared again, this time from the compartment from the further back. For now, he's carrying some light snacks befitting for such atmosphere.
"Alright, let's get to the business... I'm sure you guys have your questions, so I'll let you guys ask your questions first before explaining," Ryouta told them. He took a small sake bottle and poured it on a small cup then sips it slowly. Valt meanwhile just sat beside him and eat the snack.

Honestly, watching the little ball of energy fly around was kind of amusing. It seemed as if the "Digimon" didn't necessarily all; get along with each other, with Sada noticing the annoyance in the face of the Veemon."My name? Morihiro Sada, you'll probably hear it again in the future. "Who really knew? Giving Sada a full world to explore was like asking for trouble, who knows what he would get himself into?"
As he followed the bigger male and his Digimon partner, Sada would notice that this person was probably a lot more loaded than he let on. He had a fancy train, a hologram butler, the works. After a brief whistle, Sada would then sit down. "I guess it pays to have a Digimon partner if you can get all of this. I hope you aren't going to give me some speech about hard work, I'm sure this was taken from someone. " Giving them a chance to ask questions, Sada would begin. "What is this?" Sada would say as he showed the digivice. "Also, you guys keep mentioning partners, but I have no idea who or what that could possibly be? And what's the point of all this? Is it some kind of a game? Or is it more like these are aliens or something?

"Nice to meet ya Sara!" Shiro greeted him excited. True, they didnt trust humans, but that doesnt mean that it wasnt interesting to know one, so they felt happy. "Uh? Why? Are you famous?" They were curious about why they hear that name again, were they famous? Or maybe he wanted to meet again! Great, that way they could learn more about humans!
Realizing they had annoyed Valt, they let go "Im sorry! Sorry sorry!" They apologized over and over, they didnt want to be on bad terms already, specially with such nice people willing to help them. They just got a bit excited,that was all.
When the butler turned into a Grand Locomon, Shiro was more than surprised. They stood back for a while admiring the transformation. It wasnt that they had heard about this kind of.. evolution? Transformation? But it was the first time they had witnessed one, and wow! It was surely impressive.
Shiro hold tight to the railing during the little trip like Valt had tol them, feeling some kind of bumps here and there, but nothing too several.
When they entered the train, they had their eyes as wide as the sun. How could they even affor this?! It looked like a palace! They couldnt help themselves but adventure inside at the speed of light,checking out everything they could, it looked all very cool to them, forgetting to hold themselves for a while. "Wow..!"

OOC: It's not the butler turned into Grand Locomon or vice versa. Imagine it that the Grand Locomon projected data, and that data is made into solid projection of the butler, thus making it like a controlled puppet, only to such high quality that nobody would think that one is just a projection (lol)
Also, it's not buildings, it's train cars.
"...er, his name is Sada," Valt automatically tsukkomi'd at Shiro. It become a bit of a habit now somehow. Oh well. Now he apologized over and over again? Well, that's fine, he guess... He should be the more mature one in this case at this time. "Er, yeah, no biggie," he told them.
When Sada joked around about having something like this in exchange for being partnered, Ryouta decided to just deadpan. "...It cost a limb or two... or three. I had to fill insurance claims and whatnots. Luckily Ilbert helped me through the process. These train cars are his so to say. I just pretty much own it by extension when I hire him. He insisted afterward that it was mine though. So no, I don't take it from him, he offered it to me. Then again, the 24000 bits was a huge hassle and seriously needs me to work my ass off here and there. I just need his service for my job."
"That was the case," the butler projection told them. "I'm an independent Digimon, but service is my calling. Nobody had employed me before prior to young master. Had he not employed me, I'd probably sitting rotten in some random garage. No worse death than that, I say. Tossing some service like this is nothing much at all."
"Well, let's move at the explanation anyway."
Ryouta pulled his out. The shape is slightly different compared to the D-3 that Sada showed him. It's more detailed with the color of the base being white, and the grip colored silver-ish.
"...This is the so called Digivice. It's a proof that you're partnered to a Digimon. You said you're 'single' but I don't mean that they're lovers... Well, if you want to be lovers that's up to you..."
Valt snorted at that, remembering some crazy memories.
"Think that Digimon partner as a friend for life now. They're your friend, your trusted comrade-in-arm. You need them and they need you. The relationship between human and their Digimon partner is mutualistic. I hope you don't get any Digimon that just thinking to use you. Some Digimons apparently do that, even if they're partnered. However, as you can see, me and Valt here... we're on the mutualistic relationship."
Ryouta sips his drink yet again.
"...Reason to be partnered? Many theorized that those that called by Digital World have greater goal. Yet I have seen a lot of human that treated their Digimon badly, thinking this is just some game. Or that they take their Digimon partner for granted... These sort of people exists, so you can't really say that they're here for some "greater good" or something. Who chooses us, nobody knows.
Game... I wouldn't say a game where you can die for real a game.." at that, Ryouta lifted part of his shirt, revealing countless battle scars, with the most recent being a shot wound on the stomach that extends to the back. Nearly all of these scars must be made in attempt to kill the guy for some reason. "As you can see, if this is a game, whoever make this game got real twisted personality. Well, unless you got in problem constantly as I do, you won't get this much scars.
Aliens... I guess you can say they're aliens. They live in a world parallel to us, you can say it's an isekai... or the so called other world. They live in place called Digital World. Digimon themselves are short of Digital Monsters. They're made out of data, you can argue that they're A.I., but they're so advanced that they're pretty much other living being. They can feel emotions, they can feel pain, it's all real, they're alive.
Your partner, I have no idea either, but you can go to the so called Village of Beginning that Shiro told you. Usually, baby Digimons are there. The baby Digimons that would be your partner that is. Just follow your Digivice. Usually it will lead you to your Digimon.... unless you somehow got a massive egg already, one that's bigger than an ostrich egg?"

"So such rare and interesting things can be found about, simply waiting to be used? What kind of perfect wonderland is this? I wish I had a five-star train thing waiting to serve my every need. " Sada folded his arms and closed his eyes, listening to the explanation at hand. So the item in question was a digivice, which is proof of being partnered with someone. "The lover's thing was a joke, but if you mentioned it that way, I supposed it....happened before. " Which was odd, but who was Sada to judge? Though, Sada's eyes lit up when the mention of a greater goal was brought into the equation. He still didn't know what that was, only due to the fact that it went over to either the humans or digimon mistreating each other.
Wow, so which war did you say you fought in again? With scars like that, you must be public enemy number one for some people. "Sada would say as he looked at the scars this kid had. It was safe to say that they were around the same age, the build was just vastly different. However, it was a far stretch to say that this was some sort of interactive game if the guy was being shot at. Well, I guess I figured that much about these things having a personality. Can't touch holograms, and your partner acts differently from Shiro. "
Sada then cracked his neck and got up from his sitting position. "Alright, I think I get the basics at least. Just one question, how do you get to this village? "

Hearing the word "war", Shiros ears perked up as they rused back to the scene. They quickly made its way in front of the two boys and starting rambling. "War?! War is bad, boy! Dont mention that again. The best way to make things is with peace and care, got it, boy?" They poked Sara on the nose, as if trying to make a point, but their size didnt help in the matter; it was like an ant trying to complain to an elephant. but still, the little fox couldnt help themselves.
"Lovers? Whats lovers?" Shiro took interest in this particular word. Even though they were travelling through the Digital World, it wasnt common to find couples just wandering around, so they never met one. They word sounded pretty, definetly a derivation of love! Shiro loved love, if that makes any sense. They floated around and acomodated themselves in Sada´s neck, as if they were a scarf. It was a comfortable position, to say the least. "Oh! I know this one! The Village Of Beggining is an area on the East..?" They werent so sure really, its not like they holded a compass wherever they went, but it was a lucky guess. "Yeah, i think East of the Digital World. All eggs and baby digimon are there! Its such a colorful and warm place. If you really want to find a partner, you have to go there; The chances of finding it are 90%!" Honestly, Shiro didnt have much clue about math,but it was true what they were saying: theres no better place to start than the Village Of Begginigs. The name was already practically telling you so. They had to go there, if not, where else?
"I wonder what kind of partner you would have... " They started wondering.

The talk about having five star train to service him all day seem to make both Ryouta and Valt flared. The Digimon gave the new guy a disapproving stare while Ryouta on the other hand...
"...This is NOT SOME WONDERLAND!" he suddenly barked, slamming a fistful to the table. Valt seem to understood that this gonna happened, so he didn't move at all. Luckily it's made of a really durable material, otherwise it would crack right now--actually, it would probably broke. "If that's how you think my relationship with Ilbert is, then by all means you're wrong. THAT kind of view what sickens me. Digimon ain't just some beings that would answer your call like a servant! 'Waiting to be used' you say? More like 'trauma leads to them become very selective to pick as a client'!"
"Young master, please calm down, it's alright." the butler tried to calm him down.
"It IS NOT! Just because you're serving me for measly 24.000 bits I have in my pocket back then it doesn't mean I'll let this sort of comment slide! What sort of insensitive comment is that, even when that is a joke to be aimed at Digimon after I said that you guys have feeling? A shitty one for sure!"
The butler just smiled resignedly.
"...I think my master have a point, young mister Sada. I think you would not find any five star train to my caliber. Neither you will find one that will service you so cheaply. Mercenaries have contract, but that contract can be easily broken if you're not acting in satisfactory way toward your mercenary."
Though, the talk about the war made Valt snort derisively. The talk about peace and no war was one of his sore spot.
"Never been in one have you? By then it's not even a question whether you're right or not... or whether it's bad or not, whether to make peace with your enemies or not, but it was some basic instinct. To stay alive, to protect what you care about, to eliminate all sort of threats that endangers you and your family. You can preach about love and peace all you want, but that gonna fall on deaf ears on us.
All those years stolen when you're trapped in war. You're scarred, and you will eventually felt like you're broken and unable to return to normal society. And then there's the risk. Unlike Digimon, human dies and never return. War killed human, and what's worse they died in our world, the Digital World, world that cannot be accessed unless by the chosen one. They don't have any mean to return to the real world after they're dead. For all the human on the other world know, they're just missing, or they ran away from home. We can't even return most of their dead bodies to real world. We don't have that luxury. Human are fragile... anything above child level attack would surely destroy them. And imagine in a war where something like Gaia Force tossed about, you think human will somehow survive from that?
Human's village of beginning doesn't exist. It's not cycle for them. They're dead forever, gone forever when they're killed, unlike us. Their family won't find any closure, thinking that these human just disappeared mysteriously and can no longer come home. Do you get it now? The moment you're in one and saw human's death, then your life will be changed once and for all."
Nobody seem want to talk anything about lover after that talk.
".....Follow the fox if you want to get there, either that or we'll take you there," Valt finally said.
