Mocha didn't appreciate being teamed up on once more by these strangers. Seriously, why were they even here in the first place?
"Okay, listen up! I'm gonna explain it to ya real simple just in case you're as stupid as Stupid Nanami is!" Mocha couldn't restrain the anger in her voice. "When a stupid person is being stupid, you have to call them 'stupid'! Otherwise, they're too stupid to realize that they're being stupid! But if you call a stupid person 'stupid', then the stupid person know's they're being stupid, so they can be less stupid in the future when the stupid person thinks, 'Am I stupid for thinking this?' when the stupid person thinks of something really stupid!"
As Mocha was giving her half-rant, half-lecture, Cream began counting up on her fingers every time her sister had said the word "stupid". She gave a thoughtful nod when the Lopmon finished speaking. There was an awkward pause for a second, until Nanami's voice broke the silence.
"Combine? Like in a sentai?" Nanami asked quizzically. She didn't understand anything that Ran had just explained, except for the words "army" and "combine". "Does that mean they all have to do silly poses and stuff when they fight evil?"
Mocha groaned and simply gestured towards the girl, in a "Do you see what I have to put up with!?" manner.

"Of course you're not, you're new. You haven't had time to make any immense blunders, yet. ...Not that I can see anything like that for either of you." Not -immediately- at least. "Suffice to say I had to stick my neck out for one after he decided it would be a grand idea to walk in front of the face of death and tell it to attack it's master. When it had no semblance of sapience."
Enough was said.
In the meantime, much like Cream was, Mae was counting how many times Mocha just said stupid in her half-rant half-lecture. Sixteen in total. Impressive. There was dead air between the girls for a long few moments.
Before Nanami made the leap in logic to associate sentai with...Xros Generals. Honestly, Mae could see how they were similar. "Yes, a little like that, actually. Minus the poses. They, and you by extension don't even have to fight evil, technically. The world is your oyster." Mae shrugged. "I mean, I have a reputation myself for fighting evil but...that's not very important right now."
It really wasn't.

'Wow. Whoever that was must have been a pain to deal with.' Kazumi thought as Ran mentioned someone she remembered which briefly made the general wonder if that person was still alive. Her attention was diverted as she heard Vemmon softly counting along with every mention of the word stupid and said "Sixteen times? Isn't that going a bit overboard, Mocha? Nanami can't be as bad as you say and if she has the patience to deal with you calling her stupid a lot, I must say I'm impressed."
As Ran explained a little about Xros Generals, Vemmon added "T-The army that allies themselves with the Xros Generals provide m-more than just numbers as an advantage. U-Unlike most digimon, those working with a Xros General can't digivolve under normal means except a p-primary partner like myself. P-Primary partners act as the main fighter in the army. H-However Xros Generals have another form of digivolution to use to our advantage called a Digi Xros."
"Digi Xros? What's that?" Kazumi asked.
"I f-forgot I haven't discussed this with you yet, Kazumi. A D-Digi Xros is when a general combines at least two or m-more of their partners together into one stronger form. S-Since your army only consists of me, I d-didn't think it was necessary at the time. T-The Xrosses can either become weapons for the one of the digimon in the xros or an a-amalgamation that looks like a complete combination of all involved." Vemmon explained with Kazumi nodding in understanding.

"Stupid Nanami isn't patient," Mocha interjected. "She's just so stupid she forgets that she forgets she's stupid," It seemed like reasoning with the Lopmon was nigh-impossible at this point. After all, it was clear that she was the smartest, most mature person present right now. And no one could possibly change her mind on that.
"I do not forget!" Nanami suddenly barked at the Lopmon, slamming her palm down on the table. A little louder than she intended. A couple of the tables around her went silent as they turned to look at the crowd. In a panic, Nanami immediately shoved her Digimon partners further into the bag, completely out of sight.
"H-hey, watch it!" Mocha protested.
"Shush! Stay in the bag a little longer, okay?" Nanami pleaded with her partners.
"M'kay..." She heard Cream's voice let out a yawn.
"Fine... your new friends are boring, anyway!" Nanami let out a nervous giggle before turning back to Ran and Kazumi. Ran had corrected her on her assessment of Xros Generals, while Kazumi's partner had begun to give a more detailed explanation of their capabilities.
Unfortunately, Nanami began tuning it out the moment the word "Digi" was used over three times. She was bad enough at English as it was, so what was the point of putting "Digi" before everything? It made it all so confusing! Instead, her mind began to wander as she pondered something Ran had just said.
"I mean, I have a reputation myself for fighting evil but..."
Nanami had put it together. Ran was secretly a Digimon. In disguise. It was all there.
Ran was actually a superhero. It all made sense to Nanami. Ran was secretly a Digimon that was a human in disguise during the day. And she admitted it herself that she fought evil, but didn't want to bring attention to it. After all, there were all kinds of Digimon. So naturally there would be evil Digimon, too. So the only logical solution was to have Super Digimon of justice to combat these evil Digimon.
It was clear that Ran didn't want her superhero status publicized, so Nanami couldn't just ask her outright. But in her heart of hearts, she knew it to be true. So when Kazumi's partner finished his explanation, she turned to Ran gave a knowing nod.
"Yep! Now it all makes sense!"

"Ironically, there are people like that..." Mae found herself stating in regards to the stupid not knowing she's stupid quote. It was quiet, though. Meant as a comment to herself. One that didn't apply to Nanami, but to...other enterprising individuals. This silence persisted all throughout the explanation of Xros Generals and how they worked. Honestly, Mae was more than aware of how that specific creed of tamers operated. An explanation did nothing for her, but she was at least hoping that Kazumi listened to her primary partner. If he had to repeat anything it'd be pretty tough given his...stutter.
...If Vemmon even was a he? Hm. Mae couldn't tell. They sounded young.
Nanami's outburst didn't prompt Mae to flinch or anything. She just simply stared, before peering around at the crowd looking her way. "...She was trying to make a point, nothing to see here." A very simple alibi.
She didn't know that Nanami had arrived at the conclusion that she was some sorta superhero, though. So, the disguised Digimon simply turned to look at Nanami as she gave that nod. "...What does, specifically...?" She could only guess that the girl had realized what she was, but she didn't know what specifically she was talking about...

Mocha's antics caused an amused click to come from Vemmon's mandible and Kazumi softly chuckled to herself as well. It seemed that the Lopmon was a handful for the pink haired girl named Nanami. They watched as the tamer was trying to regain some measure of control by pushing Mocha back into the bag. At least Cream seemed far more relaxed than her sister, the Terriermon sounded as if she was falling asleep despite what was going on around her.
After being called boring Vemmon said "G-Geez, Kazumi. I've n-never been that bad even on the day we met."
Nodding in agreement, Kazumi said "You're right. At worst you were afraid of me but you calmed down when you realized I wouldn't try to hurt you."
When Nanami said 'now it all makes sense' , Kazumi asked "What do you mean, Nanami? What all makes sense?" Vemmon had to admit that he was curious too but since Kazumi had asked he didn't have to.

Being the hero that she was, Ran had managed to turn the onlookers away for the time being. Nanami mouthed out her thanks towards the disguised Digimon. Then, Ran and Kazumi asked for the girl to elaborate. While Nanami was prepared to keep Ran's secret, she hadn't prepared for... basic questioning. It took her far too long to think up of something, but she just went with the first random thoughts in her head.
"Oh... you know..." She said with a fragile, fake smile and forced chuckle. "What Kazumi's partner was saying and stuff... The Digi-axe-gross thing!"
"DigiXros," Cream's unseen, yet helpful voice came out from within the bag.
"Stupid," Came a second, less-helpful voice. Nanami let out a growl of frustration before looking towards Kazumi and Ran.
"B-b-but yeah! I totally understand all about that stuff now, but since it's gotten talked about so much, you shouldn't have to ask me to explain it! 'Cause that would be pointless and all!" She gave another fake giggle before trying to think up a change in subject. She looked around desperately for a source of information. She found it from the voices of her partners.
"Cream, don't stretch your ears out! The bag's not that big!"
"Sorry... Just trying to get comfortable..."
"Oh, yeah! Isn't it weird how Digimon have to hide in the human world? I hear that in the Digital World humans can just walk around anywhere they want! Totally doesn't seem fair, does it? Humans should just get used to Digimon, don't you think?"
"Speak for yourself..." The Lopmon muttered under her breath.

"...If you require more explanation, don't hesitate to ask, please. I may not know too much but I do try my best to help others, even if it seems like that isn't the case." Yes, for how moody Mae could get in places outside of home? Her intentions had always been benign.
The conversation, however, was definitely about to take a far more discomforting turn, as Nanami asked why Digimon had to hide in the world of the humans. Did...Did these people know about DATS...? Maybe not this incarnation of them. Or the previous one, both of the tamers seemed new. Green.
"There are a number of reasons why a Digimon would need to hide here." Mae began to explain, keeping her voice down, yet still audible for Nanami and Kazumi. "First and foremost being...the government-sanctioned organization, DATS, making an effort to police and safeguard the human world from digital-based threats. More than ever now, thanks to the incident during Golden Week...Second, I don't know if you've ever been to the Digital World proper, but some Digimon become more monstrous as they evolve, as well as more gargantuan. Have you ever watched Godzilla? I believe it'd be something like that. Humans...would not be used to us. They would instead panic."
How grim.

"I've been in the Digital World with Vemmon a few times so I haven't seen giant digimon yet. The two of us have been lucky in that regard. Except for a large bee, things have gone fairly well." Kazumi said as she shuddered at the word bee.
"G-Good thing a digimon like Fanbeemon is only a rookie or we c-could of had more trouble, huh Kazumi?"
"Vemmon, I'd rather not think of bees possibly the size of Godzilla when little bees can cause paralyzing fear for me." Kazumi shuddered.
"A-At least things still worked out for us, Kazumi." Vemmon replied.
"If what Ran said is true then I guess it's good that my Xros Loader keeps you out of sight and out of potential trouble with this DATS organization. What if one of those Digi Xrosses we gain access to become enormous? I know that's no guarantee but I don't know about you but I'm not looking for trouble from them."
"S-Shouldn't be a problem as long as we keep a low profile. At l-least the Xros Loader is good for that."

"N-no... Like I said... I totally get all that stuff..." Nanami stubbornly insisted despite Ran's offer. Maybe if it weren't for the fact that she felt so crowded she would ask for more of an explanation, but at the moment, it seemed too embarrassing at the moment.
Then Ran began describing an organization called DATS. She didn't really get it, but she guessed it was something like... DigiCops? That sounded like a better name to the girl. After all, it had "Digi" in front of it, so it made more sense. Still, Mae started comparing some Digimon to things like Godzilla, which made the girl's eyes sparkle.
"So... you're telling me that Cream and Mocha can turn into... super-giant big bunnies one day? That's sounds amazing!" She would have to remind herself to get a bigger bag, though. "Oh, but if there are Digimon as big as Godzilla-kun, then shouldn't we just... do whatever the Digital World does to..." She couldn't quite think of the word, "accommodate". "Accolade them? 'Cause if we can do that, then I don't really see what the big problem is. And can't Digimon just make themselves smaller, too? I know Mocha and Cream were little puffballs a week ago..." She put her hand thoughtfully on her chin, as if she were trying to come up with the answers to the universe. "I know! Those DATS people should just call the Digi-Prime Minister! Then I'm sure Digimon and humans could find a way to get along super easy!"
"It's probably just best if we keep a low profile, then," Cream's voice added, ignoring Nanami's suggestion. "If we're caught by authorities then there would be difficulty getting to the Digital World... Actually, wait. Does this organization punish humans for associating with Digimon? I assume that if we were captured by this group that Mocha and I would be sent back to the Digital World. But what would become of any human currently harboring us?"
"Oh! And what about supe..." She had to catch herself before she gave up Ran's secret. "Umm... Digimon that are disguised as humans? Are you in trouble, Ran-san?"

"And like I said, if you need any further explanation, I'll try to help as best as I can. Keyword being if." Mae stated one more time. Just in case. As to whether Cream and Mocha can turn into giant bunnies? "Possibly? The usual things they turn into -are- giant rabbits of sorts...But not every member of a species is completely the same."
But if there were Digimon as huge as Godzilla, what did the Digital World do to accommodate for them? "It'd be easier for the Digimon to dedigivolve in either case. There's rarely a structure for a super huge Digimon to get into in the Digital World. And yes, they can revert to their baby forms."
...Of course...
"...There's 6 major 'nations' in the Digital World. No one in particular speaks for the entirety of the world, and the one who probably could..." A pause. "You don't want to meet Him." Absolutely not.
"Cream has the right of the matter. Keep a low profile, because...I don't know if they do punish for association. I think they would just separate you from your partner and try to keep it that way, but...I don't know for certain."
Was she in trouble? "...No. I'm not. Not anymore, I think...But I want to ensure others stay safe. Strange times nowadays and all..."

"D-Dedigivolving to my baby form would be handy if I could remember it." Vemmon said with the Xros Loader with a frustrated click if his mandible.
"Your amnesia is worse than I thought, Vemmon, if you can't remember your baby form or the circumstances involving how you got to the Shibuya to begin with." Kazumi said with concern in her voice.
"I g-guess my amnesia is more worrying than either of us thought." Vemmon said with worry seeping into his tone.
At the mention of the one that could speak for all the nations Vemmon said "Y-You must be talking about King Yggdrasil. I n-never met him but all digimon usually know of h-him since birth. H-He is often considered God in the Digital World."
"So the Digital World has one God? That is interesting compared to the many different religions worshipped by humans where some worship multiple Gods." Kazumi said.

"Oh, so what they're gonna turn into is gonna be a complete mystery..." Nanami pondered for a moment. "Mocha, I'm gonna work hard and make you into a really scary dragon! And Cream, I'm gonna try and make you into a super-powerful robot! That way you two can fight off Godzilla if he ever shows up in the real world!"
"Huh? But wouldn't that put us on the radar of those dates guys?" Mocha inquired. "Besides, if a giant monster comes to destroy Tokyo, I don't wanna fight it off if a bunch of cops come and give me shit for it... And why would I be a dragon? Obviously I'm gonna be some super sexy angel Digimon! I am pure and awesome, after all!"
"Well... I suppose a robot form would be nice... but I worry it would be uncomfortable to move around in..." Cream admitted. "Personally, I'd prefer a form more sleek than massive. Preferably one that still lets me fit in beds."
Kazumi and Vemmon were talking about the Digimon's memory loss. "Have you tried going to a Digital Doctor? They might be able to help you! And... even if they can't... you can still have a lot of fun on adventures and stuff, too!"
"That's all... fair, I guess..." Nanami replied, unsure of what to say. She let Ran continue her explanation of Digital World politics. Six nations? "Then... isn't there some way to get them all together or something? Cause if the Digimon can agree on stuff, then they can agree on stuff with the humans, too! I'm sure humans can get along with Digimon even though we're a little different! Ooh! We should get a Tamer and Digimon partner to be ambassadors! 'Cause they'd want the best for both worlds, right? Who's the most famous tamer and Digimon in the Digital World?"
Then the topic of a Digital God came up. "Ah, sorry... but I'm not really interested in that kind of stuff... M-my mom says that I should try to avoid those kind of talks 'cause she's worried that they might try and invite me into a cult..."

"Xros generals' partners...don't really Digivolve from what I know." Mae stated, flatly. Their issues were more or less Kazumi's own. She also could not necessarily do anything about amnesia. -That- was a more delicate field than anything.
Focusing more on Mocha, Cream, and their tamer... "Well, I did say generally. You two could be different from most, and as such could end up having different digivolutions. It's also not necessarily anything that you have to worry about right now. More for when you get going to the Digital World."
But as for Nanami's question...
"There...really isn't. It's hard to get the leaders of the cities to agree on things because they're all focused on ensuring they get by first and foremost." A pause. "Good. The one who lies at the heart of light is something you should never seek out. Your mother gave you good advice, it seems."
But there was yet another pause.
"...What do you mean by a cult, though?" Oh no. Did...Mae not know?

"A-Actually a primary partner such as myself is capable of potentially evolving t-to an ultimate level form." Vemmon explained.
"Why only the primary partner though?" Kazumi asked.
"D-Don't know. M-Maybe it has something to do with keeping Xros Generals from having too much power. Y-You know checks and balances and all." Vemmon said.
"I don't know who is the most famous tamer seeing as I haven't been near many and haven't been a Xros General very long. I had know idea that some digimon could have such appetites and I'll be eventually recruiting more. I don't think my job alone could feed them."
"M-Maybe if you get holosuits some of us can help out by earning money too." Vemmon suggested.
Turning to Nanami, Kazumi said "I assure you that Vemmon and I aren't with a cult. I guess since my curiosity about the Digital World might have freaked you out. Sorry."
