A Trip for Twins [Takeshi|Invite]

Post by Takeshi Ryu & Ken on Dec 9, 2017 11:33:58 GMT
Luke's kind offer made Ryu happy, its true what they say having a friend help you is a nice feeling. With a gentle smile Ryu said "thanks Luke, I really appreciate it. If it happens again I will be sure to let you know" Ryu thought that there was no reason not to talk to Luke, he is more experienced after all so his insight might be very helpful. But for now, he will like to not let this thing ruin their trip to the digital world.
Colin then agreed with Takeshi who nodded back. While their first day was not perfect it had many high points and one of them is the fact that they befriended Colin, Luke and bellamy. An added bonus was that they are twins like Ryu and Ken, so if they are lost hopefully they can help guide them.
Bellamy then said that they will protect them if they stayed with them, Takeshi was glad to hear that it was quite reassuring to be honest. "You know, I am kinda glad that happened. It help reassuring me on how this world can be. But I made a promise with Ryu and Ken, I hope to one day travel the entirety of the digital world." Takeshi knew it might be a little over zealous and he will probably go at it in a steady pace. Ryu and Ken nod in agreement, their only wish is to somehow be strong enough to do that and who knows maybe their memory will come back to them one day.
Colin then remarked on how the train takes away from the wonder of traveling to digital world "I agree it feels like going down town if anything really " Colin then mentions how its better than the river which makes Takeshi chuckle "Preaching to the choir my friend " and just like that the trailmon began moving, next stop terminus. It almost felt impossible but here he is, going to another world Takeshi's life has changed a lot in the course of one day.
Bellamy then offered to get snacks, Ryu politely declined he was not that hungry. Takeshi takes out a bag of chocolate cookies from his backpack "I am good, you guys want some of this ?" Why does Takeshi take this diverse group of candy with him ? No one knows.
"Yeah, I am kinda hungry. If they have have potato chips that would be good, any flavour will do."
"I have been meaning to ask you guys, how long does the trip usually take." Ryu was curious.

Glad his offer was taken up, Luke gave Ryu a gentle pat on the back as a gesture to seal the deal. Bellamy noticed, of course, but, supposed it was none of his business. Yeah, he had an idea of what it was about, but, he trusted his brother to handle it, and said nothing about it.
After Colin made his pledge, Takeshi seemed to accept it. He even admitted he was glad that he faced challenges to get it through that the digital world was not a place to take lightly. That if you went there, you had to be vigilant. And there was no better lesson than direct experience.
Still though, the last bit made them uneasy. "Well, that's good as an eventual goal, but, I suppose I'd best tell you now. You probably shouldn't try and seek out the Dark Area. That's probably the last place you want to visit, from what we heard" Colin explained. "But other than that, the South, East, West and Northern areas of the main continent of the digital world should be fine, in that order..."
When they were on the Trailmon, it seemed Ken asked for chips. "Yep, got it" Bellamy winked. As he left to the refreshment carriage, Ryu asked how long a trip like this would take.
"It generally takes about an hour" Luke said, simply. "Ah, right, just so you know, time flows faster on the digital world than it does on Earth. Seven times faster in fact, so, 7 hours pass in the digital world, 1 hour passes on Earth. It's best you knew that, that can make things pretty tricky in the greater scope of things".
Bellamy soon returned with potato chips for Ken, a drinkable jelly packet for Colin and Luke that he knew they liked, and some shrimp snacks for himself. Colin and Luke accepted them gladly.
"Ah, yes, by the way, about halfway through, you're probably going to experience something a bit weird as we pass from Earth to the Digital world" Colin said. "Don't panic about it or anything, it doesn't hurt, but yeah, it does feel kinda weird, so I just thought it'd be best to tell you first".

Takeshi Ryu and Ken nodded as Colin warned them about the dark area, Ryu had already warned them about it but hearing Colin who is more experienced than them say it just confirms it. " of course, I mean who would want to go to a place called the dark area, the tourist business there must suck I guess they need a better marketing people" Ken jokingly said which prompted a chuckle from Ryu. Colin then gave them order of places to go, which was extremely helpful they are going to remember it.
Luke then answered Ryu question it seems that the train takes about an hour which was reasonable to say the least. Then luke explained to them that time is faster in the digital world compared to the human world "Yep it sure is "
"Wait a minute, I did not know this "
"Oops I did not tell you ? Guess I forgot" Ryu grinned sheepishly.
Bellamy returned with potato chips for Ken who took it with a smile on his face, he then open the bag he took this chip and ate it!. He enjoyed his chips alot "Thanks bellamy, this is very delicious what flavour is it ?" Ken enquired about it, he did not recognize it right away.
Colin then warned the group, something is going to happen ? Woah I guess they slept on their last trip so they did not notice it last time. They wonder what is it. "Weird how ? " Takeshi questioned, as he plays with a large strand of hair that is located between his glasses.

Colin and the twins chuckled at the thought of a tourist industry in the wilds of the dark area. "Well, some still go there regardless" he said. He himself would go there soon, on a mission for his partners, but he didn't really want to share that information just yet, thinking it might result in a story longer than the train ride would provide.
It turned out that they hadn't yet known about the time difference of the digital world. "Well, now ya do" Luke said. "It's actually pretty cool, you can spend several days in the digital world without worrying your family about where you are".
Ken asked what flavor the chips were. "Nori and Salt" Bellamy answered. He was rather fond of that flavor himself, but much preferred shrimp over potatoes. Colin and Luke meanwhile happily drank their fruit jelly packs.
Colin asked what experience they would have. "Well, it's kinda like, your whole body gets a bit of a static electricity feeling" he said. "Oh, yeah, and you better make sure all your electronics are switched off, it could damage them" he warned, remembering to turn off his own phone. "The digivice and D-Terminal should be fine though.
And a few minutes after that, the transition happened. It was like a flash of light passing through the carriage as biological beings became digital. Colin shivered a little, it always made a weird feeling down the back of his neck.
Bellamy meanwhile was unfazed, simply brushing shrimp cracker crumbs off his fur. "Still a bit of time, so, wanna hear about the time the three of us first biomerged and helped defend Whitewater City from a Chaosmon?" he asked the others.

While they were not going to go to the dark area now, they are considering it when they get stronger for now they are going to take it slow. Colin then told them that people go there regardless, which made Takeshi think about digital habitats since in the dragon valley he saw mostly dragon digimon what will he see if he goes to the dark area ? It will be better if he does not find out soon.
Takeshi had known that time moves faster in the digital world, but he was not aware of the specifics and now he does. Luke then tells them that they can spend days in the digital world without worrying his parents which was a pleasant idea "huh, I did not think about it actually."
Bellamy then told ken that the flavour is Nori and salt "huh, wow this the first time I try it and its good!" Ken looks like he is really enjoying himself, he really likes chips but did not get the chance to try all the available flavours yet.
Colin then explained the situation to Takeshi, so it apparently it feels like getting static electricity which was interesting. He then warned him about the electronic devices and how he should turn them off, Takeshi nodded "oh thanks" he said as he took his phone and turned it off. They then went through a bizarre transition, a weird surge went through takeshi's body it felt weird but Takeshi moved on from it.
'Wooah for real ? we would love to hear about it" Ryu says with amazement, he and Ken were fine and unfazed for the most part. Now the both them were really curious.

"Yeah, the time thing's really helped out" Colin said. "I can go to school as normal, then tell my parents I'll be hanging out with my friends for a few hours afterward, then spend a day or two in the digital world" he grinned. "And better still, I can get all my homework done while I'm there".
Luke raised his eyebrow at that. "Well, Luke helps" Colin added, which made him happy.
Bellamy grinned and patted Ken's shoulder. "Loads of flavours are out there in the human world. Should bring some more to the digital world, although suppose movin' that amount of food on a big scale would be tricky".
"Yeah... probably" Colin agreed. After the transition, it seemed they wanted to hear more about their battle with Chaosmon.
"Well, it was a pretty sticky situation" Bellamy began. "Three mega and super mega levels appear over Whitewater and they start attackin' my boyfriend Coronamon! Well, I was havin' nonna that, so, Colin digivolved us to Mega for the first time! I became Beelzemon and Luke became a Fulminomon"
"That's like a Magnamon variant" Luke clarified. Bellamy then got into a blow-by-blow description of the battle, making it sound more dramatic since he had a captive audience.
"But yeah, it just wasn't enough. The level difference between Mega and Super Mega is pretty dang big. Then... somethin' happened. Our friends Kuu and Coronamon managed to beat them back, but then, they kinda, well, absorbed the data of one of their allies, and they digivolved to Chaosmon. And this was real bad, they coulda levelled all of Whitewater City in one attack! So then, Colin really stepped up to the plate, brought us to him, and, well, put his trust in us. Then, we biomerged".
"It's a bit hazy, but, I was feeling, well, we were ready" Colin explained. "It's a hard feeling to describe, but, I reckon you'll feel it too when you've been with your partners long enough" he said to Takeshi.
"Yeah, so, we became BlackJupitermon and we shot that guy outta the sky" Bellamy bragged. "And afterward the three of us kinda changed a little, and, that's that". He had to cut his story a bit short because the Trailmon seemed to be slowing down. They were nearing Terminus City now.
Eventually, the Trailmon came to a stop. Colin and the twins stood up from their seats, ensuring they had their belongings. "Aand here we are" Colin said, stepping off the Trailmon onto the platform, glad to see the sight of the digital world again.
"So, where to from here? Wanna stick in the city? Or head out to the East for some training?" Luke asked their friends.

Takeshi chuckled at the idea of using the time difference to solve school works, but its still a useful thing that he will definitely use himself.
Bellamy then said to ken that there are a lot of flavours exist in the human, and it will be difficult to bring them all. "I know right ? I mean pizza flavoured chips sounds weird right ? Its actually very delicious I was really suprised by that. But I digress, I would rather savour each flavour but in time I will have tried every flavour " Ken said as he was munching on the chips Bellamy brought to him.
But then Bellamy started talking about the story with chaosmon. When he told them that the bad guys attacked Coronamon Ryu clenched his fist as if it is happening now, thats how immersed they were with the story "those bastards".
Ken and Ryu both let out an audible "Woah" as Bellamy informed them it was their first time evolving into mega. The both of them were engaged in the story. Then luke explains to them that fulinmon is magnamon variant which they both thought that that was cool.
But Bellamy continued with the story, and it got intense even though that it ended positively Ryu and Ken could not help but feel breathless and captivated.
Colin then tried to explain the feeling to Takeshi but understandably couldn't " ah I see, well I hope if the time comes we will be ready" Biomerging is probably the one thing Takeshi was interested in the most, but at the same time he hopes that he wont be in a situation where Biomerge is the only way out.
Bellamy then wrapped up the story with them beating the choasmon as black juptiermon, the twin then almost in sync said "That was awesome"
And then the trailmon stopped as Colin announced that they have arrived, "ah that was quick " Takeshi said as he and the twins got up from their seats and went out to station looking over the digital world.
Ken eyes lit as he heard the word training, the story pumped him up, so hearing luke say it was even more perfect "training as in a spar ? Now you're talking my language lets do that"
"Wait hold up, are you guys sure about that. I mean I would love to but I do not want it to be inconvenient for you guys." Ryu knows how beneficial training with the experienced Luke and Bellamy can be, but still he do not want them to feel forced.

"Yyep, got a lotta flavours out there to try" Bellamy agreed.
As Bellamy told his story, he was pleased of the reactions of the dragon twins. As was Luke, who was satisfied that his Fulminomon form was sufficiently cool. Maybe he could show it off to them before the day was over? Although of course, it didn't really matter if he didn't.
Bellamy gave a smirk at the twins' reaction to the end of the story. "Heh, glad ya think so. And I hope I hear a story like that from you guys in a year" he winked. "Although, the time frame ain't set, just, I know you guys can be that cool too".
As they got off the Trailmon, Ken seemed willing, but Ryu seemed hesitant. Colin waved off his worries though. "It's fine, I'd like to think of it as paying off a debt of things" he explained. "When I first arrived to the digital world, a more experienced tamer helped me out and trained Luke and Bellamy so they could fight better and learn how to digivolve".
"Yup, neat guys, Ryouta and Ryu" Bellamy confirmed. "Besides, digimon have to learn to defend themselves, right? Extra important for partner digimon too since ya have a human to look after as well".
If that was all settled, Luke would then look at the timetable. "The next Trailmon to the Eastern Timberlands heads off in 10 minutes" he said to the others. "So, if we're going, guess that's the one we'll take".

Ken nodded as he finished his chips.
The twins were so pleased with the story, I mean why wouldn't they be it had everything you would want in a story, action drama and a great conclusion. The twins might actually ask luke and bellamy to show off there forms if the opportunity presents itself but of course they won't nag them on it.
The twins chuckled as bellamy said that he would like to hear a similar story from them in the future. They looked at each other for a moment "You bet" they said in sync. They were not sure if they could reach that level, but they are definitely going to try and who knows they might succeed. "Thanks bellamy that means a lot coming from you" Ryu said as he was rubbing the back of his head blushing.
Colin then explained the reason they wanted to do it, apparently a duo named Ryuota and Ryu did the same thing to them when they were new. Which sounded reasonable "all right we are in, I think that will benefit all of us. Don't you agree guys" Takeshi said as he looked at the twins who nodded affirmatively.
"Hold on, one second. Ryu? Who is Ryu". Ken asked as he gestured with his hand, is there some one out there with the same name as his brother.
Luke then told them that the next train leaves in 10 minutes "ah, one thing. Do we have time to buy holosuits ? Cause that would be helpful " Ryu and Ken look at each other and nodded as they remember the times where holo suits would have helped them.
"Yeah we totally need those."

Bellamy gave a grin at Ryu as he said that. Luke meanwhile had a more hesitant look, and caught his brother's eye with an uncertain glance. Bellamy then understood at once.
In their story so far, they had good things happen; as well as bad. Not every advancement of their evolutions had been a tale of bravery and utter domination of their evil foes. Indeed, their Perfect evolution had been flawed, and as for Bellamy's Super Mega level... that wasn't something that the Impmon was willing to speak about at the moment, even with these young digimon he regarded so highly.
"Yeah..." Bellamy said, his chipper tone sounding a little more subdued. "Just... be careful alright? Digivolution is caused by emotion, and emotion is volatile..." he thought of what else to say, but couldn't come up with much else that wouldn't result in more questions. Except for the most base of advice. "Just don't do things that risk your life, your brother's life, or your partner's life". That was about the best advice Bellamy could offer. Honestly, if Bellamy failed at that to protect Colin and Luke, it would be game over in its entirety.
Then it seemed that the twins noted that one of their friends was also named Ryu. Luke made a false chuckling noise and nodded. "Yeah, we had- have a friend called Ryu as well, he's a Dracomon" he explained. "We haven't seen him in a while though. It's just a coincidence you have the same name though, since Ryu is a japanese name for a dragon".
Luke was doing his best to not make a big deal out of this. Bellamy was faring a little less here, having to turn his back on the party to hide the expression on his face. With this emotion in the air, Colin felt that perhaps an intervention was in order.
"Well, of course, we can go buy holosuits. The next Trailmon to the timberlands is 40 minutes later" he said. "And yeah, don't worry about it. Your digimon partners have to learn how to look after you, right? And since an experienced tamer went out of their way to look after us, well, we feel like it's a kind of debt that we help someone like you do the same" he winked.

Ryu and Ken were excited just thinking about digivolving, while Ryu is still a bit cautious about the dangers that they might face in the digital world Ken was only thinking about one thing and that was the glory. The idea of him having epic tales sounded more than amazing to him, he is lucky both Ryu and Takeshi would definitely stop him before doing anything reckless for the sake of Glory.
Luke and Bellamy had a quick exchange of glances that both Ryu and Ken did not seem to catch, but Takeshi did but decided to not comment if anything he wanted to hear what they had to say really badly. He would like to expand his knowledge on the digital, after all it is filled with many mysteries.
The trio was surprised by the sudden change of Bellamy's tone, especially since he always seemed to be so cheerful. His advice about emotions was taken seriously by Ryu and Takeshi but no so much by ken, he appreciated the advice but he will likely forget during tense situations. "You got it, and don't you worry I will keep this guy in check" Ryu said as he patted his brother in the back, he knows how reckless he can be
Then Luke answered Ken's question about Ryu, apparently he was a friend of theirs who was. Also a dragon digimon named Ryu what are the odds. But something was not right the trio notices that Luke said "had" at first, Ken took it as an honest mistake while Ryu and Takeshi where a little worried something happened to him. And bellamy reaction did not help either both Ryu and Takeshi thought it might be better not to ask, but Ken was not one to use logic but instead follow his guts and he was a worried for Bellamy.
"Hey, Bellamy what is wrong ? Are you all right. " Ken asked as he loud and often cocky tone is replaced with that of genuine concern. Ryu did not want it to go this way, but he was honestly concerned as well maybe this is for the better.
With this weird feeling in the air Takeshi wanted to say something but luckily Colin was on the same level as him and said some thing " ah well that's a relief, I have not told my family about digimon yet this might help me buy some time tell I find the perfect time to tell them." Takeshi says as he scratches his head "which reminds me before I forget, how do holosuits work? Do you pick the appearance or is based on the digimon features? " Takeshi asks trying his best to avoid this tense situation.

Even though it was obvious that there was more to their stories than they let on, Luke and Bellamy were glad that further questions were not asked. Indeed, the two digimon were still coming to terms with the events of what occurred. As time passed, they would be able to tell Ryu and Ken a more detailed explanation of what happened, but for the moment, they simply wanted to bond with the twins at a kind of senpai-kohai level.
After Luke tried to explain what happened to Ryu, it seemed it was not enough to wash things over. And then Ken asked if Bellamy was alright.
Bellamy shivered a little. Was he alright? Of course he wasn't, remembering how Ryu was mercilessly destroyed by those "judges" at the end of the world. But, he couldn't lose control in front of these young digimon that he liked. But still, he didn't want to lie to Ken. There was a kind of peppy generous honesty about the Shoutmon that he liked and didn't want to hurt.
In the end, Bellamy turned to him and forced a smile. "Ken, on the outside, I'm okay, but, there's more. When I feel that you're experienced enough to know what I feel right now, I promise I'll tell you. But, well, at the moment, I'm worried that if I tell you my problems it'll pull you down like lead".
Luke gaped at his brother as he said this. Surely saying that would make Ryu and Ken more curious and thus force them to tell their story anyway? But, well, maybe, the dragon twins would take his advice and simply prepare that conversation for the future when they were more experienced in the world?
Takeshi then talked to Colin about the implications of sharing the digimon secret with family. On this subject, Colin was a little more positive. "Ah yeah. The best thing to do in my opinion is introduce your digimon to them in their holosuits first, so they know from the start that they're your trusted friends". That was what got his parents to accept Bellamy and Luke in his household after all.
Then Takeshi asked more about the operation of holosuits. "Ah, right, they're pretty simple to operate" Luke began. "Once you get them, just make sure they're on an accessible part of your body like a vest or hip pocket, then you activate them, and every human that sees you will assume you're a human". He hesitated before continuing. "Although... there's other creatures on Earth, like Dogs, that could see or smell through your holosuit, so be careful of them" he added, remembering an incident where an Akiba Inu dog chased Bellamy halfway across Tokyo even with his holosuit active.

Although the twins did think about it, but they honestly feel very comfortable around Bellamy and Luke. They were older classmates who know all the cool stuff, in all honesty they were really glad that they were one of first people they met. So seeing Bellamy one of the people they like and admire feel down made feel bad, but whats worse is that they both know that they can't help as much as they want to.
Ken looked he wanted to ask a couple more question but Ryu gave a pat in the back, which made Ken stop. In all honesty they were more curious than ever but they decided to listen to bellamys advice and do not inquire more. But maybe one day he would be able to tell them, they hoped that would be sooner rather than later.
Ken and Ryu both thought of a thing that will hopefully help their friends cheer up, a technique that they learned through the internet "Uh, its okay we understand. But hey anyways we forgot to tell you wr got an ace up our sleeves"
"Yeah, it has not work yet but Ken believes that the 30th time is the one" Ryu chuckled the technique looked stupid but if it worked it will give them a huge boost in power. "I guess you guys would have wait for the training to see it" Ken said twirling his mic stand. They had hoped that changing the subject was a good idea, they had hoped bellamy would cheer up.
Colin then gave Takeshi solid advice, introducing Ryu and Ken in holosuit form is a great idea "oh yeah, that way the shock of seeing their digimon forms will be lessened" Takeshi added his mouth turned into a happy smile, the thought of that alone lifts a huge weight of his shoulders.
Luke then explained how holosuits work, it sounds pretty simple. He then explained how dogs can smell through the holosuits "I am glad we do not have pets then" Ryu added as he chuckles. Takeshi then began walking to the direction of the town, "How much does it cost ? Cause I transferred some money and I think I have about ten thousand bits " Takeshi said as he puts his hands in his pockets and leans backwards.

Glad that it was settled for now, Bellamy's expression returned to its normal impish grin. "Okay then, heh, lookin' forward to see what it is" Bellamy said. He was curious to see what these two could do.
Thankfully it seemed like Takeshi had enough bits for the holosuits. "It's 1000 bits each, and you'd need two" Colin said, leading them to the holosuit store in the Terminus City Mall. It was a fascinating place, headed by a Lunamon at the counter. The shelves were lined with what looked like external hard disk drives, each with a small picture of a human likeness on it. Others had different pictures for things such as animals and even machines.
"So, here we are, pick something you think suits you" Luke advised. "...Maybe pick something that wouldn't look out of place, you don't really want to go as something like a JRPG character" he joked.
"And why not?" Bellamy asked, pouting a little. When he first came here he wanted a holosuit of Jade Curtiss but Colin said he couldn't go to school looking like that.
"You know the reason why..." Luke answered, sweatdropping.

When bellamy returned to his usual grin it made the two dragons happy, they hate to see a friend of theirs be sad. Ken chuckled at the thought of them executing their technique, but he managed to fight the urge to outright tell them what it is and instead savour the suspense.
Well it seemed that Takeshi has more than enough to buy the holosuits, which was good as he expected it to be way more than he had that signified to him that this technology is more common than he thought. "Ah, well that's a relief. To think this place would have a mall and trading businesses, for some its funny to me" Maybe it was the fact that dragons, wolfs and more fascinating digimon are involved something so mundane.
They reach a counter run by a lunamon, and the shelves are filled with pictures seemed like human likenesses. When It came to picking holosuits Takeshi decided to leave that decision entirely up to Ryu and ken, well mostly up to Ryu.
"Why hello there lunamon, I would like that one." Ken said pointing at a picture of an old man with a large white beard, that looked like Santa.
"No no, we won't pick that. Ken, the holo suits we pick needs to not draw attention to us. So that when we are with Takeshi no one gets suspicious."
"Fine I will pick that one, the kid with the red hair" Ken's expression was that of a bored kid, while he totally agrees with Ryu's logic he still felt a little disappointment.
"All right and I will take the kid with blue hair" Ryu said as Takeshi went up to counter and delt with the bit transaction, after that was done he looked back at Colin and asked "when was the first time you entered the digital world" it was a simple question.
The two Dragons equip their holosuit and activate them. Both of their holosuits are of Kids that look like they are as old as Takeshi give or Take, and are inches shorter than him.
