Another week of school done, so that meant it was time to go on another adventure to the digital world. Colin James loved it - he'd go there with his twin digimon partners Luke the Elecmon and Bellamy the Impmon. It had been over a year since they had made themselves a part of his life, and he never looked back on that decision. Even if they were a cat-devil and rabbit-bird... thing, thanks to holosuit technology they could simply pose as his human friends and even accompany him to school.
And of course, this was only on the outside. Colin had already introduced them to his family as digimon, and was delighted when his parents all but treated them like they were part of the family.
Today though, Colin thought he might check up on how Takeshi and his twin partners Ryu and Ken were going. He decided he was rather fond of them, and Ken seemed to idolize Bellamy, so, he thought it'd be nice to help them out if they needed it. And so Colin sent a message to Takeshi's D-Terminal. If he was still in the digital world he supposed that that would be a sign he's either going okay or might need help. And if he was on Earth again, they could maybe go on a trip to the digital world?
Colin wrote the message as he and his partners made their way toward the Shibuya rail terminal - the twins holosuited up as boys around Colin's age. Presumably they'd meet Takeshi there if he replied.

A couple of days has passed since Takeshi first went to digital world and boy that was a weird ride, a whole new world that looks straight out of a fantasy book. Lots of things happened that day, they met K, Alexa and Colin and his twins. Colin seemed to be in similar situation to Takeshi you see Takeshi has 2 digimon partners, Ryu the Veemon and Ken the shoutmon. Takeshi wondered how everyone they met are doing, he wanted to go back to the digital world but simply did not have the time. And carrying the twins around his bag was not easy, he thought about telling his family about these creatures to make things a lot easier, maybe he would do it one day but not today. He sat on his bed deliberating on what to do. "I wonder how Colin, Luke and Bellamy are doing ?"
"Yeah its been a while, they were fun to hang out with"
"They seemed like nice people, but it's not likely that we meet them again soon " as Takeshi uttered those words his digivice, which he forgot about flashed to signal a message received.
" oh right this thing can send messages I forgot. You know thinking this thing is pretty cool all things considered. Well anyways, hey speak of the devil its them, they want to meet. "
"Nice, wohoo this should be fun. These past days were boring "
" Ken do not be rude " Ryu gave ken a disappointed look. "Nah he is right, I was kinda busy these days but from today the fun begins" Takeshi replied back confirming that they will meet there and took his bag and headed out to the meeting spot.
As they arrived at the spot, Ken and Ryu who reverted back to their demiveemon forms had their heads peeking out of the opening of Takeshi's shoulder bag. "Hey I think I see Colin and.......two boys ? Wait what" this was odd, the gang did not know what holosuit are at this point so that took them by suprise. "Anyways I guess I should say hi" Takeshi waved from the distance at Colin's direction "yo Colin, long time no see." The twins waved at him as well as Takeshi approached him.

Colin was glad that Takeshi had responded that he would be able to meet at Shibuya station. And so they waited. For now, the three of them were wearing casual clothes, and it was in their holosuited forms that would be the only time the twins would wear pants in their rookie levels.
"Heh, neat. Wonder if Ryu and Ken have evolved yet?" Bellamy wondered. He'd be proud of them if they did.
"If they haven't, guess we could always train them?" Luke suggested. "It worked for us after all".
Soon after, Takeshi appeared in their vision. They guessed that the large bag he was wearing contained the other twins. "Hiya!" Colin called out. Bellamy and Luke waved.
"Heh, look who it is?" Bellamy grinned, then realized it might not be obvious who he was. "It's uh Bellamy here, Luke and I are wearin' holographic disguises" he explained. "We'll switch it off once we're outta view of the general public" he glanced around at all the other passengers of the station, along with shrewd looking station guards that by now would probably be used to seeing digimon.
"Heya Takeshi" Colin said, smiling. "Yep, been a little while. How are you going? Been to the digital world again lately?"

As Bellamy explained to Takeshi and the twins who they were Takeshi smiled "long no time no see Bellamy........wait what ?" Takeshi gave bellamy a confused look before bellamy explained the situation. "Ooh that makes sense, hey you know we should get ones as well Takeshi "
"Yeah, that will benefit both me and you guys alot. "
"We can explore the human world more freely"
"Yeah that's a smart move, There a people around and a digimon sighting will cause havoc." Takeshi added as he scanned the area, to see how many people are there.
"Actually no, we have not gone to the digital world recently. But we do plan on going back soon"
"Yeah we got stronger now, so we can roam the digital world more. " Ken added a proud look on his face, among the two he held more pride in his prowess.
"Yeah we would not want to run into bad digimon in our in-training forms. "
"But enough about us, what is up with you man. What happened with your PROFIT duties ? " Takeshi said with a smile on his face, it must be nice to be a part of the team. It kinda reminded him of his highschool years an his odd jobs club.
"Yeah what are you guys up to " Ken said as he tried to get out of the bag, but Ryu quickly pulled him back.
"Idiot, you could get caught. Wait until the premise is secured" Ryu scolded ken, who shrugged it off. While Takeshi could not help but laugh at their constant back and forth.

Colin was glad that they caught on to that idea. "That's great. You can buy them in the Mall in Terminus City" he said. "Although digimon like Ryu and Ken can easily pose as toys" he chuckled. He remembered the first time he brought Luke and Bellamy home, before they had holosuits.
"I had to pose as Colin's little brother in a halloween costume when I first got here" Bellamy smirked.
"And I was a pokemon themed backpack" Luke added, grinning. They had certainly turned heads, but gained no suspicion, with a 13 year old boy holding an Impmon's hand with an Elecmon riding on his back. But with holosuits they hadn't repeated the feat.
So, they hadn't returned to the digital world? "Ah, okay. Do you want to come with us? We're heading there now" Colin asked, thinking it'd be great for them to have a more proper tour around the place.
Takeshi then asked about Colin's PROFIT duties. "Yeah, well... I kinda have two jobs - one with PROFIT and one being an ordinary 14 year old American-Japanese high school student" he said, grinning. "But I've been able to juggle both with these guys' help"
"Yep, Luke helps with his homework and I help with his social life" Bellamy bragged. The Impmon enjoyed playing the part of a 14 year old class clown. He watched Ryu and Ken bickering. "Heh, reminds me of our early days, eh, Aniki?" he asked Luke.
"Heh, yeah" Luke agreed with a smirk. With time, Ryu and Ken should mellow out and get along better as brothers.

Colin explained to Takeshi and the twins that they can buy them in terminus city "Terminus huh, I think we should do that. It would have helped us avoid a lot awkward situations." Takeshi chuckled as he remembered. Then Colin coincidentally said that Ryu and Ken can pose as Toys "Tell me about it, there was this lady who wanted to buy us from Takeshi. Worst part is she offered 5,000 yen only, I am at least worth 50,000 ATLEAST."
"I can't believe you are still mad about that "
" how can you NOT be mad about is the real question "
Takeshi let out a soft sigh "don't remind about that, her daughter cried so much that it made feel really bad actually. Ryu hand me a lollipop cola flavoured " Ryu reached into the bag and took a couple of seconds before finding the cola lollipop and handing it to Takeshi, just how much candy is in his bag that question that will never be solved.
"You guys want some ? Its okay there is a lot so pick your favourite flavour."
"Oh cool, we wanted to go there as well. Sure we will join you guys."
"Heh, awesome. Maybe we should help Takeshi as well. "
"Yeah if you want any advice in picking up ladies, just come to me. "
"I rather you not actually, I will probably get rejected more than I want if I listen to you." Takeshi and the twins could not help but chuckle, even Ken admits that he can be horrible at pick up lines.

"Okay cool, sounds like a plan" Colin grinned as the idea to buy holosuits seemed to catch on.
The story that Ken told was a bit unsettling though. "Yeesh. Humans can be weird in this place" Bellamy remarked. "Although nah, don't sell yourself short like that" he winked at Ken. "50,000 yen is only like 4 dollars, right? Can't put a price on a good digimon partner".
"Um, Bellamy, 50,000 yen is actually around..." Luke began, but broke off as Bellamy showed no interest in the exact exchange rate but instead seemed interested in the lollipops.
"Sure, I'll take a strawberry flavor if ya got one" Bellamy said, grinning.
So it seemed that they would agree on their little trip to the digital world. "Alrighty then, let's head to the rail terminal" Colin said. From there, they would begin their journey to the other world.
"Ladies maybe so with your partners, but if ya wanna get advice for dating cute guys, well, just ask yours truly" Bellamy bragged. "I got a cute boyfriend a month after I evolved to Rookie~"
"Bells, behave" Luke warned, not wanting his brother to start talking dirty in front of in-training levels. That and neither of the twins knew of Takeshi's orientation so he thought it'd be rude to assume one way or another.

Takeshi smiled and nodded at Colin, he was glad that he met a pleasant group of people that can help him get used to the digital world. Ryu then gave Bellamy a confused look as he said something wrong, "huh really I guess yen is pretty cheap compared to dollars" Ryu facepalmed as Ken immediately believed Bellamy but decided to let it slide.
"One strawberry coming right up. .....I found it wait nope that is peach flavoured.....is this it nope this lemon. Here it is got it, here you go bellamy " after struggling to find the strawberry lollipop throws to bellamy.
"Geez Takeshi how much candy do you have here ? "
"More than I should thats for sure "
"Alright guys lets go to Railmon, next stop terminus "
"Oh right you told us about your family before I would love to meet them some day. " Ryu and Takeshi nodded as they agreed with Ken.
"Sure thing, If I find myself in need of an advice to pick up guys I guess I know who to seek." Takeshi is straight but he felt it would be rude to say that to someone's face, and unlike some of his peers Takeshi does not mind gay people.
Takeshi still has questions on how digimon can have kids, but he will let that stay buried in his soul. "Hey so you said your sisters guards earth right? Has she faced any trouble recently "

Luke was glad that Ryu seemed to have his wits about him, and decided to let the blue Demiveemon know the facts here. "Around 90 yen is equal to a dollar" he explained, hoping that would make the calculations more easy in his mind. Yet Takeshi was a native Japanese boy as far as he knew, unlike Colin, who had grown up in the USA and was more familiar with dollars, so Ryu probably already knew this. Still, he hoped the advice would be helpful.
Bellamy caught the strawberry lollipop meanwhile and unwrapped it eagerly. "Thanks a bunch" he said, licking it, his tail flicking with delight. He grinned when the subject of his family was brought up.
"Heh, sure, I'd love to introduce you to them" the Impmon said, thinking of Coronamon and Finn. He loved those two so much, heck, he was thinking of marrying Coronamon soon, but that would be something to think about later.
Bellamy grinned at Takeshi, noting that he seemed to be straight from his reaction. "Heh that's okay, I know most of you humans go for the opposite gender, just pretty much makin' it clear that I ain't that good with picking up girls".
As they made their way to the station, Takeshi asked about Sophie. Colin turned to answer. "Nothing big so far, other than a few dealings with lost digimon that thankfully turned out to be friendly" he said. "She's got the headquarters set up at least, opposite the train station, so if you get problems, that's the place to solve them" he advised.
They then entered the Shibuya train station. Most of the passenger traffic was directed to the main Tokyo metro platforms, but, there was another platform that was in use. And Colin would show it to Takeshi.
"Let's step this way" he said, and led Takeshi to an elevator, making sure other passengers wouldn't venture nearby.

Ryu looked at Luke who gave him the correct dollar to yen exchange rate, Ryu nodded at him with a smile "Yep that's right, I asked Takeshi about it and read some books. I love learning about the human world" a genuine smile covers his face, Ryu loves learning and discovering, the only things that he cares about more are his brother and partner. Ken on the other had this piece of information go over his head, he took a lemon lollipop unwrapped it "heh, I look forward to the day we get to meet them. I wonder if they are strong as well" Ken licked the lollipop with conviction, his face was filled with joy.
Takeshi looked at Bellamy who seemed to have figured out Takeshi was straight, he wondered on what was it that gave it away, maybe it was obvious. He then looked at Ryu and Ken and wondered what will happen if one of them had a kid, first will it be a dragon or is that him using human logic, for all he knows it can be a huge cow, the digital is a mysterious place.
He then walked by Colin who talked about his sister. He told him about the missing digimon she helped and about her headquarters "huh, maybe I should do that someday. I would love to see what kind of person she is. " Takeshi said as he played with a large piece of hair in front of his face, you see his hair is messy yet some how smooth. They continued to walk towards their destination.
Takeshi looked around to make sure no one is seeing them, he then looked at Colin and smiled at him "Thanks" Takeshi said as he got in the lift.
"Next stop digital world woohoo" Ken was clearly enthusiastic about going back to the digital world.

Luke was glad to develop some kind of kinship with Ryu about learning things and respecting knowledge. In fact he hoped he would develop a similar kind of relationship with Ken - that Ryu would be able to be the thinker and Ken would be the doer. That was a similar kind of relationship that Luke had with his own brother. But, it would be best to simply let the young digimon develop at their own pace.
"Oh yeah, they're real strong" Bellamy said, grinning. "In fact Coronamon reached Super Mega level long before I could. And Finn, well, he's young, but, we're raising him best we can. Heh, won't be long before he's a strapping Growlmon".
Bellamy had figured out Takeshi's orientation only from his dealings with humans so far. Those that preferred the same gender often admitted it when they were in friendly company, and those that did not tended to act as most other humans, such as Colin, who Bellamy also believed was straight. But of course there was nothing wrong with either preference. Especially in his opinion as a digimon, where gender had less of a physical meaning to that of the creatures of Earth.
Colin meanwhile thought of what to say of his sister. "Well, she's very devoted to the things she sets her mind to" he began. "But she also respects relationships between humans and digimon, so don't worry about AEGIS raiding your home and taking away your digimon, she made it clear that she isn't going to do something like that".
Further talk would probably be best handled by Takeshi meeting Sophie himself. Which should probably be done in the future when she wasn't as busy with the opening of AEGIS.
They then entered the lift, thankfully only the six of them. Colin then took out his digivice and held it in front of the elevator controls. Lights lit up as he did so, along with an affirmative beep, and the elevator doors closed and the room descended on its own accord for a while. The lights lit up at the basement level before shutting down completely, until eventually, the elevator stopped, and the doors opened.
Colin and his partners stepped out onto the Trailmon level. Here was the hub of digimon activity in Shibuya. Here, digimon could walk free without holosuit disguises, as all humans on this level knew about digimon. Luke and Bellamy promptly did so, instantly transforming from 14 year old boys to an Elecmon and Impmon, both wearing smart button-up shirts, their customary wear when not out in the wilderness.
"So, Takeshi, here's the Trailmon Terminal" Colin said, indicating the vast underground train platform around them. Three sets of carriages were waiting at the platforms, with one set departing as its Trailmon set off in front of them. "Here's the place where you can travel between the digital world and Earth".
He'd take a pause for a moment for Takeshi and his partners to take in the gravity of this secret location.

Ryu liked the fact that Luke is somewhat similar to him, at least in the fact that both of them like knowledge, and knowledge is Ryu's true passion. Although he understand that he still needs to get stronger in order to protect his brother and tamer, he hopes that he wont be used to fight and they only be a rare occasion at best. Ken on the other hand is desperately waiting for the day that he will get stronger, the hard situations he went through only made him want to get stronger and stronger. Ken and Ryu smiles at bellamy who affectionately talk about his family " wow super mega ? That sounds amazing. So can you both reach that legendary level ?"
Takeshi looked suprised for a second there Super mega ? Ryu thought him about that level, but he never thought he will see someone at that level this soon. Well this world is small as they say, good thing they are friends and not enemies cause that would have been terrible. His focus shifts towards Colin who talks about his sister, from the way he describes her she seems to be an efficient but also kind, none the less he is glad that someone is looking to better the relationship between digimon and humans.
Takeshi has more question, but those are better saved for later when he gets a chance to meet her. Hopefully at the time when she is not busy with her work.
As they entered the digital world the six of them alone, Takeshi sees Colin uses his digivice in front of the controls. Which made Takeshi think about what are the possibilities of his device, it must have more usage than just digivolving and de evolving. And then before he realizes it they are at the station.
As he took a step out of the elevator his eyes roamed the place, "Woah I do not remember it being like this, When I travelled from the digital world back to the human world." His face filled with both surprise and wonder, he then looks at the trailmon who talked to them he smiled at him and waved, this place is more amazing than he thought.
Ryu and Ken however hopped out of his bag and signalled to Takeshi to evolve them and he complied a white light covered the both of them and as it faded the blue demiveemon turned into a veemon and the red demiveemon turned into a shoutmon. Ryu stretched his arms a little bit "Oh man this is totally better. Isn't that right brother ?"
"Oh most definitely Aniki, ok now lets test this thing" after stretching his limbs a little bit Ken took his microphone and spun a little for show-man ship and brought closer to his mouth "Testing 1 2 3 " the microphone seemed to be working perfectly "Nice its working well".
"So this how you go back to the digital world? At least there is no need to go through the river again am I right ?" Takeshi chuckled at his own joke, well he is really glad that the river is not the only way to the digital world.

"Yup, we sure can" Bellamy said proudly. "We can do something called 'Biomerge', where we join our forms together with Colin to make a super mega level - BlackJupitermon".
"Although doing so kinda changed us a little" Luke added, chuckling. "It made Colin's eyes turn red and made him a look a bit older, and it turned the fur on my back purple and the fur on Bellamy's front white" he shrugged. "Guess that's what happens when Data and Virus attributes join together".
"Ah well, I kinda like the new look" Bellamy quipped. Then Takeshi seemed surprised when they entered the Trailmon platform area.
"Really? You didn't come here when you returned from the digital world?" Colin asked, curiously. He wondered what other ways were possible.
Luke and Bellamy then watched with interest as it seemed Ryu and Ken could evolve to Rookie after all. And it seemed their forms were Veemon and Shoutmon. "Heh, lookin' good, boys" Bellamy said, giving a thumbs up. It took longer for twins to evolve, but at least they cleared the first hurdle.
Next, Takeshi asked how they would return to the digital world. "Just pretty much get on a Trailmon" Colin said. "It costs a little for a ticket, but they're usually pretty good with frequency. After that, we'll end up in Terminus City, the capital".
Colin began to walk over to one of the trains, it looked like it was going to depart soon. He then picked a comfortable looking carriage and took a seat where they would face each other. Luke meanwhile handled the tickets - using a convenient machine to purchase them.
"So, here we are" Colin said. Soon they'd be back in another world - to think it was as simple as boarding a train was quite exciting.

"Biomerge, why does that sound familiar ? Hmm, hmm Agh I can't to seem to remember again " Ryu seems to have heard the world biomerge somewhere but as hard as he tries to remember nothing comes to his mind. Ken on the other has a confused look across his face "again brother ? I wonder what these weird memories you have are ? But anyways ignore it for now okay? "
"Yeah you are right, anyways wait. Biomerge can change your physical appearance like that ? Huh overall seems like a useful technique, hopefully one day we can perform it with Takeshi someday "
"Yeah this look makes you guys look very cool " Ken said with a smile on his face, you got to admit they do look cool.
Colin then asked Takeshi a valid question "I went through here, its just that I was kinda tired so I did not capture the details of this place"
"Well yeah that was a long day if I say so myself "
"Let me explain, after we separated at rustport the train for some reason was not there. Then we decided to you know take a quick tour around terminus somehow we ended up in the plains where another tamer attacked us. After we made our escape back to the station there where still some delays, so its safe to say we where really tired "
Bellamy then complimented the twins which made Ryu flustered "hehehehe, Th-Thanks " he said as a big happy smile covered his face, while Ken was busy posing. "Thanks. I gotta say this form feels a lot more flexible"
Then Colin answered Takeshi's question, indeed it seems this Train is not a one way ticket back to earth you can go to the digital world through here. But the tickets due apparently cost some money, but its still better and safer to take the train you get to go to Terminus immediately which is safer than the dragon valley that's for sure. They then walked up to the train and sat in front of Colin and his Twins, to think the trip to the mysterious digital world would be as mundane as taking the train, its almost kind of funny.
"This is it huh ? I gotta say it feels strange, kind of disappointing. But this still beats diving into the trash" Takeshi chuckled as remembered the horror that happened a couple of days ago.

Biomerge sounded familiar to Ryu? Luke and Bellamy exchanged glances. Perhaps this was a significant part of Ryu and Ken's past? After all, Bellamy and Luke had things significant to them that they just couldn't put their claws on - a symptom common with digimon that had been destroyed and then reconfigured. And Ken's reaction seemed to confirm this was an ongoing thing, but, they decided it would be best to keep their noses out for the moment.
But Luke thought he'd best drop a seed of offering though. "Hey, Ryu" he said quietly to the Veemon. "If these deja vu's keep on happening and if you want to talk to someone about it, I'm happy to be available to talk" he offered. Hopefully nobody else would hear, but, if this was a problem for Ryu, Luke would be happy to help solve it.
Takeshi's answer meanwhile satisfied Colin. "Ah, okay, makes sense" the boy reasoned. "Yeah, the digital world can take a lot out of you, I'll admit". His natural brown eye color for one. Boy was that enjoyable to talk to his parents about, not. Colin should have taken Bellamy's advice and actually wore contact lenses of the same tint as his original eyes, rather than tell them he wanted to have them be red because of some cool fashion trend.
After hearing Ryu's explanation, the trio suddenly felt bad for abandoning them there at Rustport. Well, in their defense, it had been a very dire emergency that had called them to Whitewater, but, still, they should have probably done more to keep them safe.
"Well, if you stick around us this time, we'll look after you for the time being" Bellamy promised. "And if it's an emergency again, well, we do have an airship merc friend that'll keep ya safe".
The subject was a bit more light hearted on the subject of evolving from in-training to rookie. "Heh, tell me about it, nothin' beats having arms and legs again" Bellamy grinned. "You two are kinda lucky that Demiveemon have those. Luke and I were stuck as a Wanyamon and Yaamon, just a couple of bouncing heads. Thankfully we haven't had to be like that again".
When they were settled on the train, Colin had to agree. "Yeah, it just kinda lacks that, well, significance of going to another world doesn't it?" he agreed with the other boy. "Still though, yeah, better than jumping in a river of trash" he grinned.
With that, the Trailmon tooted his horn and began to move forward along the tracks, pulling the carriages forth. Soon he accelerated and began the journey that would cross the dimensional barrier and take his passengers from Earth to the Digital World.
"Anyone hungry? I might go get some snacks" Bellamy said, having taken this journey long enough that it was all an everyday event for him.
