99A - Vitrification Order

Despite her lengthy stay in the Digital World, Nanami had honestly never spent much time in Terminus City. There was the time she had spent in the South, exploring jungles and islands and the very ocean, then she almost immediately found her way up in the North, where she devoted herself to training and improving her skills as a tamer. She had travelled West after that, then finally to the Dark Area, where she reunited with an old friend. Nanami had made many new friends during her journey thus far, and she even formed a little alliance between various Digimon and a couple other tamers!

But it also left Nanami Hanabana with few immediate goals for now... only some distant goals that she would have to work towards in the future. There was a lot of bad Digimon and awful things out there in the world, and Nanami wanted to be able to stop them if she could. As such, she had sworn, together with her partners, to become the strongest force in the entire Digital World.

But... that was still a long ways off! Nanami had definitely gotten strong, but there were way stronger people than her and her friends right now. Even so, there weren't a lot of people strong enough to train with her anymore, and not nearly enough places in the world to contain such sparring sessions. But Nanami knew that so long as she was positive, that things would work out somehow!

Which left her to one of her short-term goals; find a place where Nanami and her comrades in FBW to belong. Messaging over the tamernet was fine and all, but she wanted a place where everyone could meet face-to-face! And it had to be someplace fun, too! A place where even if you weren't a team member, you would want to visit and be able to smile and laugh and enjoy yourself!

Searching through available properties... Nanami was certain that there wasn't such a place in Terminus City. Let alone where she was right now, in some strange underground marketplace. There were lots of no-nos being sold here in this... Ten-of-us or whatever this place was called. So far, they weren't having any luck, and it was time to meet up with the others.

"Well... If I ever develop a drug addiction I know where to go, but..." A Lekismon groaned as she looked around, a Terriermon on top of her head. "I didn't find any place that didn't have a shady group of dudes that didn't look like they were about to mug me."

"I guess feeling safe is pretty important..." Nanami admitted, crossing her arms and nodding as if she had just realized it. "I guess Cream was right! This is the wrong place, after all!"

"We should probably find a place in a more tame region, like close to Rosewood in the Mainframe Hills," Cream noted, not one to say "I told you so..."

It seemed like the group was ready to move on, but a fourth figure, a Falcomon, emerged from out of nowhere, appearing right in front of Nanami, kneeling on the ground. "Lady Nanami, I have returned from my mission!"

"Mu-kun!" Nanami cried out in glee.

"I have located a potential location for your headquarters!"

"What the heck is up with this dump!?" Mocha complained in her usual grumble as she took a single step forward into the warehouse that Mu-kun had led them towards, and dust started kicking up all over the room. Cream threw one her over her mouth and the other over Mocha's. Meanwhile, Mu-kun all-but threw herself in front of Nanami to protect the pink-haired girl from the assailing digital dust mites.

"Ninja Art... Black Gale Devastation!" She yelled out, pressing her hands together and unleashing a burst of dark wind from her beak, slicing up and deleting the data of all the dust in the room.

"Mu-kun, that was really cool!" Nanami exclaimed excitedly, swinging her arms up and down in excitement.

"Oh... It was nothing, Lady Nanami!" The Falcomon bashfully responded.

"I'll say... It was just some dust..." Mocha grumbled, voice still muffled beneath Cream's ear. She looked around and shrugged. "Cream, it's really dark, so how about..."

"I'm on it..." The Terriermon acknowledged, hopping off the Lekismon and transforming into a Firamon, her lion flames lighting up the room.

"That's much better!" Nanami noted with a big smile as she wandered around the warehouse.

"Indeed! Most spectacular, Lady Cream!" Mu-kun praised. Cream nodded with a blank stare as she kept an eye out. Things were going too smoothly for the now-Firamon's comfort, and she may have developed a sense of paranoia during her journey.
