Starting points (w/ Kima)

"Wise words Mister Takoda, Mach is normally what you might call a go with the flow type, but when it comes to a race he is somehow more deadly then if you were to put him in a situation where he had to fight for his life. At Present he's in Blaze Mode, achieved by Xros'ing Solarmon into him, increasing his speed as well as giving him fire abilities." Snowball said in response to Takoda, having his own experiences being near the racing Digimon he learned sometimes it was best to step away.

"Well there are plenty of Freelance Delivery workers, but he's among the top fifty or so." Tera would explain as she was trying to give context. "It's hard for Freelancers to gain trust and reputation enough for well paying jobs as there is a trust element at play since a lot of faith is involved with trusting parcels, but Mach is a Digimon of his word and his speed got him that far. He tries to be a professional racer but his inability to Digivolve to higher forms is a limit... One that has stopped him from reaching the top before." Tera said looking away as Kai notd the sadness in her voice, understanding this lack of digivolution is something she herself struggled with. "The fastest Rookie is still a Rookie, and competing against those that can go Ultimate or Higher have their own challenges." Kai said as none of the other Digimon in her army wanted to comment on the issue.

"Perhaps... But with someone so, patient and accumulating power, being patient isn't always a good thing at times. But not like I got anywhere better to be in the meantime." Diggy said in response to Fuzz, not disagreeing with him in any way.

"Honestly Takoda, Mach would consider anyone aside from pit crew to be his enemy. But he has is fair share of rivals around here. I'm not totally tuned in but there are three major contenders in Mach's way." Tera said as she would subtly point out across the area. First of all she pointed to a Rinkmon boasting before a crowd, some of which were recording him.

"That Rinkmon is Flasher, the three time champion of this race. Always solo, never a rider. He's one of the most arrogant Son of a Dobermon around. He's mostly bolster but got some speed. Mach tried this race two years ago, three years ago Mach was in this race and he kicked Mach so hard in the eye he nearly died before hitting the border wall bringing him to the brink of death. She said as the Missies winced at that revelation. "Mach might not be happy to see them, explains why he wants blaze mode, not gonna be pushed around." They commented as Kai was biting her lip a bit as she was starting to understand the dangerous situation they were in. Mach had a grudge to settle and this was only the first one introduced.

"Secondly, the Raidenmon stretching his legs over there, is Rec, he's an ancient racer who due to psychological issues lost control over his ability to digivolve after a bad losing streak. He couldn't go over fresh for years, but after therapy he made a recovery." Tera said as Kai was confused by that. "Digimon can lose their ability to access higher forms?" She asked the Digimon around before looking at Sarge. "Uncommon but not unheard of General, normally it requires serious stress to take away the highest access form and maybe the one bellow, but usually Rookie is the lowest point. For someone to be stuck bellow that point requires serious mental instability, psychotic even, pressing the line but never crosses to Dark Digivolution." He explained thoroughly. "Sounds like he'll be a bit of a flight risk." Kai commented before Tera shrugged.

"I dunno... The last one is the most dangerous. First time here but... he's a five time champ of six other races. Normally he doesn't show here because of other concerns." She said pointing towards a Pulsemon, laying on a rock asleep, snoring with a large bubble coming out of his nose. The sheer lack of seriousness was alarming in two ways, both he was nonchalantly caring about the race compared to others and he wasn't even showing signs of fear. "Blitzer, don't be fooled, he's arguably the Digimon most built for racing. He'll use his Champion form of Runnermon for this race, but his ultimate form is a Pistmon, above that no one knows. But if Mach lives to race, he exists only within races." Tera said as Kai was smiling a bit looking up at Tera, feeling some sense of pride.

"What?" She staring at Kai. "Nothing, just normally you're so impulsive and don't always learn everything, but with Mach you put yourself so far into knowing his world it's cute how you don't even realize how cute you look next to him." She said before Tera would get flustered as her afterburners burst a lot more heat as she blushed. "Shu- shut up..." She said looking away from Kai.

"But yeah, honestly Takoda, you might not be of help to Mach given his nature he will be inclined to consider any other racer his enemy." He explained.

Meanwhile Diggy underground chuckled a bit. "Well Kai needs as much brains as she can get, given her primary partner nearly killed her day one, there are two addicts in the army, and a jarhead so focused on the rules he can't casually remark without filing a request form in triplicate. So wisdom is definitely needed." She said to Fuzz, slowly nuzzling against him.

"Sign ups are simple, you just gotta go to that desk over there and register. Just the Racer and Rider  if there is one needs to go. Basically fill out the forms, including death liability, both Digimon and Human versions for human rider. basically acknowledges." Kai explained. "Didn't think the fact you had to sign that you were aware that if you crashed and got critical like your ribs fracturing there may be no hope for you to get to a human hospital nine times over and asked to verify it was needed." Tera said wincing as she recalled listening to the whole ordeal.

"They have to take human injuries very seriously since Humans have one life." Snowball said while paler then normal thinking about the forms but he still tried to give the race organizers the benefit of the doubt. "But for just a Digimon racer, just literally gotta sign your name, base form, the disclaimer, and acknowledge you're not secretly a fusion going into the race and admit you're an Xros partner." Tera said simplifying the issue to Takoda.

Meanwhile underground, Diggy could feel the vibrations up above, sensing the anxiety and could make out a few words from those on the ground. "Indeed, we are mostly a vehicular based lot to begin with. Though there are a few exceptions to the rule." Diggy said recalling the various fusions. "Though personality wise... it's a headache not gonna lie." She admitted bluntly and plainly to the cute Digimon.

"That's why there are rules about what levels are in place for certain rules. But aside from that anything goes. They are trying to accommodate everyone's style." Kai said as she didn't really seem as scared given her experiences in the Digital World. She was well aware of how others could be desperate to get ahead, and the nature of Digimon and the Digital World were not to be underestimated.

Takoda was given a stack of forms, mostly rules, as well as a list of risks and injuries followed by an attachment for Xros Army participants.

"Super Evo... I heard of that. Sucks though, not what I wanted..." Tera sulked at the thought but of course Kai brushed it off. Used to the complaints at this point. "I heard of it too, I heard the catalyst for that requires something ten times the intensity of a normal tamer and partner to reach Mega." He explained as Kai did not enjoy that thought. She had already tried hard with Tera.

"So Kima, ever miss only having human world problems?" Kai asked trying to refocus the conversation at this point. She was not exactly thrilled about being in the race herself later on but she decided it was best to avoid harboring any intense negative feelings.

Meanwhile Diggy listened to Fuzz, nodding along as she heard him discuss the odd man out. "Well we have Deac, a Commandramon, and Snowball, a Yuki Agumon. Both don't blend directly with the vehicular theme, but a cyborg does fit in better then the pacifist snow dino. He's the one I am concerned about as when he's not Xros material, he's a liability in most combat settings." Diggy commented with some honesty, she was afraid that the Pacifist's non-violent nature could wound up getting Kai or the others hurt.
