When Yuuki thought it's all over, suddenly he noticed the killing intent... it's aimed at him! The youth was too tired to move, and he seriously thought his life is over but... The doctor wrestled with him!? What!? It was so reckless, but for some reason, it was the thing that needed for Hikaru to evolve again, back to his child stage Dorumon. He felt had it gone to something even worse, the human gently pat the Digimon.
"...Think you got some calming skill?"
"Probably not, I don't have any healing skill at this form, but... If we just... stay here, I think he won't attack. Something just tells me that they're blinded by rage a bit too much."
"Probably something of the past."
"Probably..." Hikaru agreed. The Dorumon decided to just wait. This hopefully won't devolve to something even worse. Though, seriously, he was not impressed. Had he know it'll turn like this, he would most likely attempted to force himself to stay in Alphamon form. Too bad he can't. Right now, even standing is a great chore. It's only because adrenaline in his system that he managed to evolve. Digi-adrenaline, whatever... If a peace offering is given... can this ends well?
...No, he guessed that this is not the time for joke, or for his cake and teas. This is serious. Whatever happened from here, though... Hikaru will defend Yuuki, that much is clear.

Vertimon struggles, but it is a token effort at best. Most of his complaints taking the form of snarls and hisses which eventually taper off into low growls letting the little Doctor perch on his back as he finally grows still with an annoyed almost questioning huff.
"No. I don't care how pissed off you are or how much of a reckless idiot he was being we don't attack kids." Cas scolded reaching out to flick Vertimon on the helmeted head even as the Digimon craned it's head to try to look at her letting out a series of growls and snarls clearly trying to communicate something that only it's Tamer seemed able to understand.
"Don't care. I'm confiscating your swords till you calm down enough to revert back to the twins." The Doctor stated matter-of-factly as she rose taking the dropped blades by their hilts and holding her hands out to Vertimon for the sheaths which he gives reluctantly allowing the woman to put the weapons away and carry them tucked under her arm. Pushing her hair back out of her eyes Cas turned with a tired sigh to the others.
"We should proceed and get out of here quickly." She suggested both emotionally and physically exhausted from the entire ordeal. The movie, she decided, would have to wait for another day.

Again, Solomon's efforts appeared to have been for naught. It was Cassandra herself who calmed down the beast. While he recognised that she was the most qualified to do so, he was still a bit disappointed about his own uselessness in this harsh situation. Ayumi gave him an encouraging pat. The two settled down, and Solomon degenerated back to Monodramon. "It would appear we have settled down...but I agree with Dr. Cross. I feel we have gotten through a lot today, and maybe we should all settle down." "Yeah, today was wild! I didn't expect to witness such a ride today! I guess I gotta be grateful!~"

Looks like it's getting a bit better, slowly. Yuuki decided to follow quietly behind. "By the way... um... say, do you know what place is this, Hikaru? You... seem to be familiar with the working."
"...Considering that guy's action? I'm not sure myself, but... let's just say this is a place called MAYOIGA. Ever heard of place that at first sight looks normal then suddenly it's like you're spirited away? This is the same. This is the realm between Real World and Digital World. Let's say that... this is not quite Digital World, like a layer between Real World and Digital World."
"I'm kinda lost in the technobabble, but basically... uh... Digimons like you guys lives in the Digital World, right?" an affirmative nod from the fox dragon "...So that means... this is... like a crack in between?"
"Something like that. You caught on quick."
During the way, there are several more wireframe Digimon, yet none of them attacked, still very well lamenting on their fate, trying to capture memory fragments that felling down from the sky.
"...What are they?" Yuuki asked again.
"...Digimons that lost their identities, their bond, most likely... The Lost Ones I guess are appropriate to call them. While their data are gone, their basic instinct clung to whatever thing possible to stay existing, thus creating ghastly version of themselves. You can say this is a side effect of Digimons whose humans killed in action... or Digimons that lost their bond with their human while being bound to them strongly. When the link is weak, severing them got almost no repercussion. Once the bond become too strong, though... this happened. Grief, despair, anger, hatred, all thing balled into one and thus these husks are trying their best to be 'whole'."
"....And what about those from before? The child me?"
"...That... thing created from my memories of you. Unfortunately, the moment it saw the real thing... The recreation become nothing but a sham. The... 'me' who lost you desired to capture you so the bond can be whole, but... I don't think that's possible. That 'me' is nothing but an empty husk. It was... perhaps, it's best to say that the Dex Dorugoramon back then was merely what left of me... what was my regret at failing to protect you."

"I could see how that could happen. For a Digimon or human so closely bound together losing one or the other must be a fate worse then death." Cassandra murmured shifting the sheathed swords under one arm as she reaches out to gently grip Vertimon's wrist as she guided the group towards the path ahead.
"Do you think that little girl we saw at first was one such child? Just an empty husk of what once was?" The Doctor had to question. it would certainly explain the darkness radiating off of her partner and the way the child itself had seemed so empty and almost unaware of being followed. Like it had been nothing more then a doll woodenly carrying out the motions of what had once been, but could never be again. The woman had to wonder if the Digimon's partner was dead. If the girl was yet another victim of the digital world.

Ayumi listened intently to everything Hikaru said, noting it down. "A world between the real and the digital? Husks of memories seeking life? This is terrifying and deeply scientifically interesting! I would love to study this in a more controlled environment!" "I...do not think that is possible. I have no idea how we even got here...or if we could escape easily." "Oh, then I need to take some samples!" Ayumi pulled a chisel out of her backpack and began to chip off little bits of concrete and rock. Solomon shook his head, and turned to the others. "I apologise, she is quite excitable about new discoveries."

"A child?" Hikaru parroted "...that might be something like an effigy instead. The real child... probably already forgotten about how Digital World worked. Worse... she might remembers and her partner is no longer there... forever. The bond severed might cause some situation such as comatose, absolute depression, amnesia, and many more... To those with really strong bond, you felt like there's something really nagging at the back of your mind, but... it only make you depressed to not remember it."
"...You... sounded like you know your stuff."
Hikaru merely smiled sadly at that comment. "...I know because I saw it myself, the effect of this thing."
"What... caused it?"
"...I'm not too sure, like.. I think it was something so very strong that even against super ultimate it still could crack your defense and cut your bond. I felt like it's a Digimon, but at the same time, not really one. Like, it was an aftereffect or something. I... I'm not even sure if we even fought it to be honest, but we was victim of it, just like these people. Thankfully, the digivice saved us, but... we might as well as say that our Digivice destroyed in the process. Along it, probably my ability to go Armor evolving."
Yuuki stared at his newly made Digivice. The model is completely different, and honestly, this one looked like it's plainer than before.
Though, Ayumi's excitement was understandable. "...I'd rather not do that if I were you though," Hikaru said "Mainly because it'll be normal concrete outside this place. This place was unnatural, and... well.. We defeated the area boss. Sooner or later when we get out, it'll return to nothing, closed, and probably... it will stopped working. I only can hope. But I'm not sure it will... solve the problem entirely."
He momentarily gone silent and then decided to ask anyway "...Hmmm, sorry that I didn't introduce myself, but name's Hikaru. What's your names? And... what happened to you?" he focused his gaze at Cas. "...That looks like far worse than Biomerge side effect."

As Hikaru approached Cas she was quick to step cleanly between him and Vertimon who watched the rookie Digimon's approach with a low menacing growl. The noise rumbling from his chest as the demonic samurai was quick to drape his arms over Cassanda's shoulders his head resting atop hers in a clear and silent mine. Ignoring the moody dna-evolution Cas hazarded a fang grin for the little mon though it was a touch strained from exhaustion.
"I ended up on the wrong side of a faulty portal and got spliced and....well other terrible things." She explained though the story was clearly vastly simplified for ease of time and their own escape. "I survived if only barely and am working on ways to fix myself, but it is slow going." Cassandra explained before nodding towards the exit.
"We shouldn't linger too long however. No telling when this place might give way." She adds a note of concern in her voice, clearly not liking the idea of being trapped in here of all places for the rest of eternity.

Ayumi was still busy gathering samples for later research, to the point where Solomon had to gently pull her along. "Let us not dawdle too much, this place is quite dangerous." He then heard the words "give away". "...and it appears to be unstable, too." Ayumi, already disappointed over Hikaru's statement that all her samples would be worthless once they left the Digital Shift, put on a rather sour expression and dumped most of her gathered samples on the floor, keeping only a few. "Hrn, stupid lousy MAYOIGA being so opposed to being researched...I will keep a few samples to test them for residue, humph!" Ayumi seemed *defiant* to MAYOIGA's seeming opposition to being researched. It was rather precious. Still, she hurried along, not wanting to be here when things crumble.

"...For love of Homeostasis, you sure are close with your partner, huh? Well, just so you know, I'm a married mon. I won't flirt with human, I'm just asking simple question, so drop that growling, buster." Hikaru scolded the bigger mon, waving his paw animatedly while putting another arm on his hip like a sassy mon he is.
"Sheesh. Anyway... I was going to offer some sort of... how to say, I guess... connection that can help you. Probably. He's a scientist, and I know where he is. He's apparently majoring in some... human-Digimon relations. I dunno how you get that, but all in all, he should be good to examine side effect of those or probably how to separate the data and your data. The latter might be tricky, but I think it's better than nothing."
But Ayumi and Solomon is right. This place is unstable. Luckily the moment they leave, they ended up in... the real world, and barely ten seconds passed. Luckily for them, they're in the Trailmon platform instead of the crowded area of Shibuya Terminal. In here, no one would bat an eye of what they are.
"Huh, that place might have longer time dilation than Digital World. Interesting. Anyway, what are you guys going to do?"

Once they had entered the real world once more Vertimon would seem to turn to smoke his form splitting as the Dark Knightmon and Duramon crashed hard onto the concrete with matching groans. Though Dagger was quick to get to his feet Cloak remained on the ground clutching his head for a moment and muttering some very choice words about a certain armor evolutions parents and where he could put a stick. Ambling over to Cloak Cas patted his shoulder sympathetically as she kneeled beside him and she waited for the worst of the migraine he was likely experiencing to pass.
"Do you think you could take us to this scientist? I've been doing my own research, but any little bit helps in the long run." She questioned with a tilt of her head as she eyed Hikaru with hope brightening her bloody red and crimson eyes. Cas doubted it would be so easy, but every inch she could gain towards her goal was another inch closer to freedom.

Ayumi took a deep breath once they were back in the real world. Underground railroad air had never tasted this good! "Aaaah, we made it, lovely!" Solomon stretched, and nodded. "Yes, it would appear we have returned safely. That's a relief." Ayumi then turned to Yuuki, flinching briefly when the two knight Digimon crashed. "Eh? What we are going to do? Well, I definitely wanna go fetch my tools and maybe have a little look around here! Maybe I can record some sort of radiation from the MAYOIGA before it fully collapses! I refuse to just resign to the fact that I cannot research this! On this note, I better hurry!" She shook the hands of Yuuki, Cassandra, and their partners. "This was quite the adventure, thank you for keeping me safe! Here, have my number, let's talk again some time, especially you Doctor! We could compare research notes! Anyway, gotta hurry now, see ya, safe travels home!" Ayumi gave each of the other Tamers a little business card with her number and a little logo saying "Ayumisoft" on it before turning and running. Solomon bowed at them. "Ah, that means I must hurry too. Thank you for everything. I wish you luck with that demon, Doctor Cross. And Yuuki, I hope you can reclaim your memories soon. Farewell." Then, he too turned and ran after his tamer.

"Hmmm, you know what? Why don't we keep in contact? I want to learn more stuff about MAYOIGA too, and I can supply you with what I know, here, have mine," Hikaru produced a business card from his kilt, then put the traded the cards with the one Ayumi gave. It says "AETERNA BAR". The design have a classical, yet elegant look to it.
"We're cafe around the day and bar around the night. Do came to visit sometimes! We'll welcome you with open arms! Of course, when we're in business. I've been gone for almost two years now, so I'm pretty sure I need to get some recruitment to do. Give us about... a week or two digital world wise, we'll get to it!"
Now facing Cas, Hikaru nodded. "Why not? I think we can arrange that. Not today though, but I'll give you a call when, or maybe remind me in around three weeks digital world wise, so about three days here. It should be at least enough to get me to adult form. That time, we could serve as your guide properly."
He also passed a card to her. "If you need a good drink, I'm a quite good digital world bartender~ Well, then, let's meet again later!"

"It was nice to meet you Ayumi, Solomon, even if it was under such trying circumstances." The Doctor murmurs waving good bye to the pair as they take off. Likely off to do ore research not unlike herself. Leaving just Cas, the twins, Hikaru and Yuuki remaining.
Taking the card from the little Digimon Cas flips it over in her hands examining it closely before nodding. "I see. I'll be certain to contact you in time. I apologize for....well everything." She murmurs glancing at Cloak and Dagger who still look a little worse for ware. It's likely Cloak will have that headache for the rest of the day seeing a movie was likely out.
"I hope you two manage to figure things out and avoid anymore of these strange places. I'd hate for either of you two to get hurt, but if you do feel free to stop by my office." Cas adds passing them her own card before the twins reactivate their holosuits and the group departs.
