It was an early morning, and Rudolf had just gotten out of the shower. There wasn't much to do today since his D-Tector was currently using most of its functionality for processing a recently scanned stream of digital data. After a busy week of following an unusual Fravtal Pattwrn in the real world, Rudolf was able to scan enough to locate where the data was traveling from. Hoping to find an adventure, his excitement would have to wait until his Digivice translated the foreign code into a comprehensible language.
Wwhile he waited he figured he would check out a local arcade on Cat Street. In fact the rumor that led him to investigating this random act of Digital data traversing the Earthly radio waves, stemmed from a computer repair shop on Cat Street. Formerly a paint store, the newly renovated Tim's PC Repair was a popular stop for young kids. The shop sold supposedly extra heavy DigiCards, which meant prismatic or foils were likely to be pulled. Rudolf stopped by the place to pick a pack up, and overheard the owner telling someone about roaming black outs that turned cell phones to air plane mode.
Uusually Rudolf might have expected hackers, but since he had access to Tamernet he knew that was likely a Digital Event. Probably a Digimon trying to exist in the real world, or maybe random data that phased through electromagnetic wavelengths. Either way, Rudi knew that was the real gem of his trip to Cat Street. Not saying anything to the owner, he bought a single die. He couldnt afford a pack of cards, but he didnt mention that either.
Once he was outside Rudolf pulled his red D-Tector out. Pressing the button that activated his Scan Application, Rudolf started walking around looking for residual data. After scanning enough to enter it into his Compass app, Rudolf started a dedicated search for this mysterious Digital data.
Trying not to cut through any lawns, he searched thoroughly. After hours he found a faint signal, and was able to track it. Just 15 meters away, Rudolf noticed a child was playing with a small rubber ball. His mom was nearby, and the kid threw the ball across their yard.
At that same time his eyes left his Digivice screen where the Compass app was tracking the source data history among other electronic devices, Rudolf detected the signal and promptly activated the scanning on his Digivice. Eyes fixed to the screen, he was not ready to comprehend all that would soon happen. In fact at the same time he successfully scanned this data something terrible happened in the yard across the way.
A small scooter was flying down the road, swerving all over the place. A beautiful young woman was driving it, and promptly ran the child's ball over. It popped suddenly and the kid screamed a blood curdling scream. The mother grabbed him by the hand and dragged him inside, while the woman parked her car screaming for forgiveness. She seemed to know the woman, though not on great terms. After watching her pound on the door after running frantically to the doorstep Rudolf headed home to process the data.
Passionate about his detective work, he couldnt help but wonder if that mother would ever forgive the beautiful scooter queen with poor driving skills. Not thinking much of it afterwards, he was just waiting for his Digivice to translate the data.

While Rudolf carried on, there was another story brewing. In fact, for the first time in his life there would be a partner for him to constantly be with. In fact it would only be a short time longer before this reality became alot of his life. He didn't know it, but his father was dead. He would move to Shibuya soon, sustaining life as a Mercenary in the Digital World by converting Bits to Yen. The adventures he was about to begin in life would be glorious, filled with friendships and stark experiences.
Im getting ahead of myself though, first the story of Dia must be told. Now historically she was a run of the mill gal. Smart, beautiful and filled with moxy she succeeded in life. An anchor and news report for the Japanese News Channel, she had friends and money. There was nothing holding her down. A good relationship with her mother too, Dia had it all.
It had been at least a month since she found the Digital World while swimming in the Shibuki River. Rapidly thrown into thegauntlet of her Spirit Totem of Karma; Life was moving faster than ever, but it didnt phase her. She maintained her presence in the Digital World by exploring as a lone fox. That wasn't really her style, but most Digimon didnt make for great friends. The Spirit Totem of Karma granted her the form of Renamon, but her stride gave her away as a human. She got good at fighting however, but again that's another lengthy story.
For this story Dia is merely living her life in Shibuya. She woke up late for her make up before live on the aire, so she rushed to her Vespa. There wasnt much time, but she was ready enough. Heels in hand she hopped on the scooter. Speeding down the street with one hand holding her shoes, the young lady was a hot rod. The fancy scooter she drove was pretty slick too, its red shine marking her clearly on the streets while she drove recklessly.
Of course Dia had not left in time to get a coffee but that did not stop her at all. Unfortunately her ultra light and sleek Vespa, made in Japan, did not register at the drive thru. She pulled up to Starbits and order the usual triple triple, chai tea latte with three half n half cream measures and three seconds worth of honey. A hard order to mess up, but they did so anyways. After complaining about it's bitterness, she eventually got her order properly made and the queen sped off after a lengthy visit inside the Frappe store. Nothing was going right this morning, but that was fine for her. Dia was not particularly thrilled to be at work. She much preferred a day exploring the Digital World.
The news would air live in twenty two minutes, which left the famed starlette 7 minutes to get her make up on and read the script. Professional by nature Dia wasnt worried, however as she was racing to the studio a tragedy would occur. A good friend named Mei was playing with her son in the front yard. Unfortunately the kid threw the ball in the opposite direction. Dia noticed this too late, and ran the ball over.
A loud pop went off and scared the child. Mei grabbed him by the arm and ran inside when she noticed Dia. Just last week Dia had rejected her phone call, busy being late for work in a very similar fashion. Mei had no time for the diva's apology but that didnt stop Dia from missing work.
Banging on the door for a good while, Dia didnt notice the red haired Rudolf wandering in search of data. Even more alarmingly so, she didnt notice that her D-Tecter had located an actual Digimon hiding within Mei's home. While she banged on the door, the vile intruder was waiting for its chance to spawn into the real world.
Blissfully ignorant, Dia tried her best to remember to call her friend Mei sometime later in the week. Leaving it at that, Dia proceeded on with her normal life. At the same time, Rudolf was scanning data that would give him the time and location of where a Digital Wave would spawn in the real world. This meant a Digimon could appear, and the young man wasn't nearly ready. Fortunately for him, Fate had tied Dia to the situation. Soon the two would meet in the real world, where Rudolf would get his first chance to play the hero. Still unsure if anyone else knew about Digimon, Dia would soon serve as a guide for the Spirit Wielder of the Divife Totem of Digital Spirit!
Stay tuned for the next episode of Digimon! Digital Paper!

As time dredged on Rudolf awaited his Digivice to do its work. After scanning the stray data he found he used his Digivices Reading Process on it. The Digivice sought out all known code or language within the data. Most of it was random parts of data from locations where a sever was established for the code to travel. Rudolf couldnt do anything while his computerized Digivice sought out something worthwhile, so he relaxed in his condo in the meantime.
Just chilling Rudolf made a few meals for himself. Usually he ate take out chinese, pizza or eggs. He could cook a mean egg, four different ways. Scrambled was his least favorite, and poached was his favorite. Frying wa shit or miss, si he figure she would master that while he waited. Egg after egg Rudolf ate all he could. Eventually he got sick of the taste of fried butter, so he switched to olive oil. The cooking was easier like that, but he couldnt eat anymore eggs.
After a terrible attempt at fried chicken, Rudolf figured he would just master a different style of egg cooking. Unfortunately he was almost out if eggs, so he went to the store. Taking his Digivice with him, he prepared for a casual shopping trip. Walking at a quick pace he made it to the store hungrier than ever. He picked out some uncracked brown chicken eggs, and made his way home after paying with his work credit card.
Taking a different route for the sake of sight seeing, Rudolf saw a hobo panhandling. Unfortunately he didnt have any cash, but he walked up to the hobo anyways. The eggs were raw so that was useless to a bum on the street, so Rudolf had essentially nothing to give him. He said, "Good luck.." As he walked by, and figured taking the faster way home would be fine. Embarrassed by his lack of cash he figured his next trip outside would be to an ATM machine.
When he got home Rudolf added to his list of chores, "Aquire Cash
" The list was growing, and in his lonesomeness Rudolf had even added a pet to the list. He wasnt sure what yet but a pet would be a must. The vacation would last another three months, but that reality was about to change.
Rudolfs cell phone was ring ringing. After a brief, and sad call from his Aunt Rudi was informed his father died of a heart attack. A monthly check up would have saved his life, but all the cigarettes were likely the cause. His funeral was to be the next week, and despite the distance Rudolf was asked to say a prayer. He promised he would, and added that he would donate to the funeral. Mark, Rudolfs dad, had entrusted his youngest sister with that so Rudi wasnt required to leave.
He did consider it, but his Aunt insisted. After hanging up Rudolf cried for a few hours. Close to his father who had already lost a wife, Rudi felt like he had lost a lot of time with his dad. Not into sports like he was, there wasn't a lot for them to bond over. Mostly just work and his mother, but that was all over now.
After crying himself to sleep Rudi woke up, and trying to stay in the groove he checked his Digivice. It was almost done so Rudolf assumed today would be the day. After hard boiling a bunch of eggs he had a filling breakfast. Before he was full the D-Tector startes beeping. Its Reading process was completed, and it was time to search for the source of the random flux of Digital Code in the real world.

While Rudolf woke up to sadness, Dia was once again rushing to be late. This time not for work, but instead to meet Mei. After incessantly reaching out to apologize the two young women arranged a date to discuss their differences. Dia couldnt stand for someone to snub her, and had to get the scoop. Mei was in her scope unfortunately, and the two were bound to be friends as long as Dia could force her way onto the woman.
Of course Mei fought back and the two sat at the lunch table arguing for a half hour. Eventually Mei confessed she simply didn't like Dia, and the two parted ways. Their friendship was over but the end of their story together was the begining of a new story.
Little did Dia know Mei had become a Tamer with a Vilemon for a partner. Under mind control by her jealousnDigimon, she fought with Dia. The Vilemon had done her research on Dia from the internet where her exploits as a reporter were detailed. Unfortunately for Dia this Digimon was delusional andviolent, so it had convinced Mei to break off the friendship. This Vilemon was planning to ruin her career with screenshots of her hitting the ball, and Dia was helpless to defend herself against the mysterious danger.

Writers wip note:
As Dia entered Mei's home she immediately sensed something was off. The Karmic Table in her detector went off too, so she knew something was related to the digital world.
She couldn't help but retort how funny it is for things to work out the way they do. Dia entered anyways, unaware of the brainwashing Gilemon had put the family under. The evil Digimon hid in it's diguvucr as it controlled the child's tv, protecting MRI. The evil Digimon didn't know better, but it wouldn't matter. The Vilemon got immediately scared when the brazr Dia pulled her d tector out. It jumped from it's diguvuce and attacked Dia.
In a golden shine she transformed into Renamon, and careful of her friend who now clearly was brainwashed; Dia fired a slew of tags at the Digimon. The sealing marks missed, and it fired an Evil Blast Breaker at Renamon. Dia went flying out the front window. Rolling gracefully she made it to her feet and leapt back inside the house with a dazzle
At that same time Rudolf walked by, trying to buy some new pasta noodles for ramen he had walked to the store. Heavy with the digital world on his mind, Rudolf was more than happy to see a Renamon in the real world. It seemed surreal, and happened so quick had he not known of Digimon he might have missed it.
Rudolf ran to the broken window and saw the fight. Renamon was pushing back the enemy with Diamond Shower, and Rudi was analyzing her code with his d tector out. The two Spirit users synergy was linked up, and Flamon transformed.
From the window Rudi rose up on instinct, and his spirit totem bound itself to his flesh. Ash gray fur grew all around him, and the familiar orange blazer soun itself out of his day clothes. Fangs grew from his teeth, and Rudolfs flaws grew long and red. Fire burst from his mouth and he leapt in.
Renamon was shocked, but she was no fighter compared to the archetypal wizard of Flamon. Rudi blew fire all around it, and the Digimon cowered. It feared for the child and it's Tamer, ending the battle quickly. After some apologies Dia left Mei with Rudolf. The sun was setting, and the three had a long talk about responsible tamers. Now the two heroes were talking.
