Riding aboard a Trailmon Mole was Masamune. Sitting in front of the little sword wielding caterpillar digimon was a piece of paper. He clicked his mandible as he reread the words on the paper itself. It seemed that there were some strange rumors of some plot to destroy Terminus but how was not even clear with the words on paper. All the words were was directions of some sort indicating the location of some unknown place. Did that have anything to do with the plot involving Terminus he wasn't sure but since this note was handed to him just before he boarded the Trailmon by a Gabumon whom only told him that the directions and rumors were somehow connected but didn't tell Masamune how as the Gabumon ran off right after disappearing from sight shortly after.
Soon the Trailmon came to a stop and Masamune hopped off the Trailmon taking the directions to memory leaving the paper with his other possessions not including his trusty katana Tenken which was on his back. Soon the smell of food caught the Kunemon's attention and following the scent Masamune soon made it too what appeared to be some kind of fast food restaurant. Spotting the sign on the roof of the restaurant it said "Welcome to the Digital Haven home of many delicious foods to accommodate many different dietary needs at reasonable prices. Pleas come in."
"Many delicious foods to accommodate many different dietary needs, kew. Looks like another good reason to check this place out kew." Masamune said his antenna twitching.

Ever since his first visit to the Digital World, Armand's curiosity grew as questions arose after returning. What did the message mean by him being "Chosen"? Why did his phone transform into a strange device called a "Digivice"? And why was he transported into this world in the first place?
The more he repeated these questions in his head during and after work, the more he needed to know about his strange circumstances. Thankfully, he learned from his last trip that time moved slowly in this world while he was in the Digital World. Knowing this, he decided when to go next.
But while he knew when, Armand didn't know where to go in the Digital World itself. Namely, he went onto a Trailmon from the Shibuya Station and ended up at who knows where. To be fair, he didn't know how to operate his Digivice beyond the Analyzer and access to a special forum and he didn't know the directions to the central city of this world beforehand. But after walking around, he found himself in front of a fast-food building. It was perfect timing since he left before dinner, so it might also be a good way to enjoy the food this world has to offer.
As he entered the building, his eyes widened to see many Digimon on their tables waiting for their orders, eating, and chatting with others. Looking at its vacancy, he was unsure if he could find a table for him to take. But when he looked behind him, he noticed a peculiar Digimon. It looked like a worm, yet it had a Japanese sword on its back. He knew that most Digimon here could talk, but he wondered if it would be the same with this guy.
"Oh, are you here for the food, too?" Armand asked to the Digimon. "It seemed like a full house. Though, I do find a few seats nearby."

Masamune was brought out of his thoughts by someone speaking to him. "Kew?" he asked as he turned around seeing a human alone in the restaurant and he was speaking to him. A human alone in the Digital World was weird but not unheard of as he could be either a spirit wielder or just hadn't met his partner yet but who was Masamune to judge seeing as just a short time ago his very own holy sword Tenken fell into his forest home transforming him into a digimon. Then Masamune answered "I'm here for more than the food actually as there are some rumors involving some plot against Terminus, kew. However there was little information other than that, kew." Then a few seconds later he then said "By the way my name is Masamune, kew. What's your name, kew?"
Meanwhile a busy Burgermon scurried about the restaurant bringing orders to customers before the small digimon said "I'll be with you too in a moment. It's just busy this time of day."

Well, that answered his question. He looked like a worm, but his behavior was more polite than he expected. At least he was approachable to chat with. "My name is Armand Feltome. It's actually my second week in the Digital World. Or second, depending on what time it is in here," he introduced himself. "And what do you mean by a "plot against Terminus"?" Just then, they were called by a Digimon with a burger as its head telling them that they would be there once they were done taking orders. He nodded silently, knowing how many Digimon were in this restaurant right now.
"Well, I didn't expect how popular this place is," Armand commented. "Although, I'm a bit confused about the Terminus stuff. My first visit here was a bit hectic and I didn't have a chance to tour around the Digital World beforehand." Considering he was trapped on a deserted island and luckily got back through a Trailmon passing by, he simply chuckled sheepishly at his awkward first trip.
However, he did have a feeling someone was sighing in dismay and it wasn't from the worm Digimon.

After the human introduced himself as Armand Feltome, Masamune said "Nice to meet you, Armand, kew. I may not know much about the passage of time around here, kew." The Burgermon didn't interrupt as Masamune then said "As for a plot against Terminus, I'm not sure what is going on as the note I got has very little information, kew."
The Burgermon then spoke up as he said "I have been hearing rumors about someone trying to destroy Terminus but how about you two follow me to a table and you two can have something to eat."
"What do you think, Armand, kew? Wanna get something to eat first, kew?" Masamune asked. The Burgermon waited patiently to find out if the human and Kunemon would follow them. Masamune was feeling somewhat hungry and digimon needed food to do things like fight effectively and digivolve so the small caterpillar was all too happy to follow Burgermon to a table.

The info the burger-headed Digimon mentioned seemed concerning for Armand. He was clueless in terms of the Digital World's current events, but he knew it might share the same problems despite the inhabitants here were not human. Besides, rumors were nothing more than rumors. It couldn't be proven until there were facts laid bare to them. Regardless, he would keep them in mind as he accepted Masamune's offer. "Sure. I was planning to eat here in the first place."
As he followed the Burgermon, Armand continued to look around the area. He didn't know if the rumor spread beyond Masamune in this place, but so far, they were enjoying their meals and company. He even wondered if the rumor was true after all and it was nothing more than a horrible prank. If it was the latter, then everything might be fine...
You shouldn't call it a "rumor" with appearances alone.
He gasped in horror and quickly looked around to find the voice. But all he found were several Digimon and Masamune following him and he knew that voice didn't belong to him or that burger-headed Digimon. "S-Sorry. I thought I just heard something now," he apologized. "I must be so hungry, I thought I was hearing things."
Oh... If only you knew...
Armand shook his head again. He knew he was tired and hungry. There was no way his own voice was mocking him right now. Right?

Masamune was getting strange vibes about the human called Armand and he was always the type to follow his instincts even before Tenken fell out of the sky turning him into a Kunemon. Masamune cocked his head when Armand gasped and looked as if he was in a horrified state. Was Armand hearing a voice? This was possible to be the case if Armand was a spirit wielder as some of them were guided by actual bloody spirits themselves.
"Armand, kew? Are you okay, kew? I'm no expert in humans no would I ever claim to be but aren't hearing voices not normal unless said human is a spirit wielder, kew?" Masamune asked his head cocked and his cute little antenna only adding to the caterpillar digimon's cute factor.
Meanwhile the Burgermon was guiding the pair to an empty table debating whether he should mention some troubles he was having before, when Masamune sat down in one of the seats, Burgermon said "Well I was having some trouble but...."
However Burgermon's explanation was interrupted by a righteous racket going on outside causing most of the customers to drop the money they owed on their respective tables before clearing out in record time that would make human track stars envious. "Oh no. Not this again." Burgermon groaned understandably feeling right frustrated with the racket caused by the gang of digimon outside and when Masamune peeked out the window he saw the cause as a MudFridgimon backed up by a trio of Goblimon. Looking out the window Burgermon then groaned "Oh joy looks like the gang's leader has digivolved."

As soon as he heard Masamune's voice, Armand quickly shook his head and turned to the worm swordsman. "Yeah, I'm fine. And yes, I'm aware it's not normal. Though I might count..." He quickly stopped when he heard a term he never heard before. "A spirit wielder? What's that?"
Before he could get his answer, he noticed several Digimon left the fast-food restaurant after paying before a group of goblins headed by a large brown snowman-like Digimon. This caused Armand to stand up in shock before turning to Burgermon. "Digivolved? You know that Digimon, sir?"
From what he knew so far, Digivolution was the Digimon's version of transformation or metamorphosis. He heard that it not only changed their forms but it enhanced the strength and power they possessed. If that was true...
Hey, I suggest you should jump in. Those jerks look like they're raring for a fight.
That voice again... How could they tell him to jump in?! He has no clue what was going on and even if he knew, he would resort to violence! He just had to stay on the sidelines and know more about what the heck was going on before he could jump in.

Masamune though glad that Armand was okay it became clear that if said human was a spirit wielder it was obvious he didn't know what one was. Sounded like Armand hadn't been around digimon long then so Masamune wouldn't harshly judge him but how was he gonna answer Armand's question? Then it hit him as Masamune answered "A spirit wielder is a human whom carries a device that allows them to digivolve into a digimon, kew. However I don't know if you have the digivice model that spirit wielders carry, kew."
When Armand asked Burgermon if he knew the Mudfrigimon the small digimon sighed before he said "Unfortunately I do cause that digimon has been hired to try to force me to sell my restaurant. Though neither my wife nor I could remotely figure out why. That nuisance has also always brought his goons with them. When they come they manage to drive my customers away as well."
"Hey, Burgermon, kew. No disrespect but haven't you tried fighting them off, kew?" Masamune asked.
"No disrespect to a warrior such as yourself but both I and my wife, though champion level Burgermon despite our rookie appearance, we would rather not fight unless we have no other choice. Like my wife who is in the back I prefer to share my talent for cooking and bringing joy to others that way if you understand." Burgermon answered.
Speaking of said Mudfrigimon he and the Goblimon were making their way towards the door. Meanwhile Masamune was tense ready to armor digivolve should that group make it any closer.

A "spirit wielder"... Now that he knew what they were thanks to Masamune, Armand wondered if it was related to that text message. And a "Digivice model"... Was he talking about his transformed phone? "Well, maybe I could show you..."
But he didn't have a chance thanks to some uninvited visitors about to intrude on the restaurant. According to Burgermon, they seemed to be here in an attempt to shakedown the restaurant. He knew this world was similar regarding realistic problems, but never when it came to illegal acts that those Yakuza used on small businesses. It's as Burgermon said, they rather not resort to violence unless they need to. So he knew they might have a chance.
You do realize it won't work on a stubborn Digimon like that guy.
Armand shook his head again. He had no time to argue with this mysterious voice for long. Instead, he turned to Burgermon and Masamune with a stern look on his face. "In that case, we should try to convince them to leave through peaceful means. I'd rather leave this restaurant with good-old customer satisfaction than let those Digimon ruin your family business."
He then approached the Digimon gang as they entered the restaurant and stared at them while holding back his fury. "Excuse me. Do you have any business with this fast-food establishment? If you're not planning to order something, I suggest you should leave."
Wow... Like that ever works.
He mentally shut the voice up in annoyance. He didn't know if his peaceful confrontation would work, but he had to try something.

When Armand mentioned that maybe he could show them something Masamune gently said "Perhaps you could after we deal with our friends outside, Armand, kew." There was something odd about Armand but Masamune was not gonna bring up how the human seemed distracted at times. Was it due to a spirit which sometimes was active in some spirit wielders? Whew knew at this point but it wasn't info needed immediately.
"If you two want to try to communicate with Mudfrigimon I will head for the kitchen and let my wife know what is going on. Just will the both of you be careful and not take too big of a chance." Burgermon said his tone sounding concerned as he made his way towards the kitchen.
Meanwhile Masamune stuck with Armand as the pair headed outside to talk to Mudfrigimon. However Mudfrigimon didn't seem impressed by Armand balling his hand into a fist moving to swing at the spirit wielder. This was where Masamune made his move as he said "No you don't, kew! Digi Armor Energize, kew!" Masamune began glowing as he began to armor digivolve while he then said "Kunemon armor digivolve to...." The sword wielding caterpillar gradually changed in appearance eventually becoming curiously some sort of dinosaur digimon. Upon finishing digivolving he then said "BushiAgumon!" Now as a BushiAgumon Masamune drew Tenken from its sheathe holding it in front of him ready for action after tugging Armand away from Mudfrigimon.

As if fate proved to him that the mysterious voice was right, Armand froze when the Mudfridgimon raised its fist and threw it to his face. At least it was supposed to happen if it wasn't for Masamune's intervention. And with this, he witnessed a Digivolution right in front of him. A phenomenon that changed their form and powerset.
"M-Mr. Masamune?" He muttered, still shocked at this change of events.
See? I told you it wouldn't work. Those kinds of Digimon can do nothing but use their fists to solve their problems.
"Shut up!" He thought. "I don't know who you are, but you are not helping with this situation!"
Oh. Now you want to talk to ol' mwah? That's touching.
Armand groaned. Just what was this voice that echoing in his head? Was it part of his Digivice Masamune mentioned?
No, he needed to focus on the current events first. This restaurant was on the line and he couldn't resort to violence or Masamune's power yet. "What in the world is that?! You almost hit a defenseless human! Are you trying to make a mess in this place?!"

"Yes, Armand, kew. Despite my insectoid body taking on a dinosaur appearance it is indeed me through the process of armor digivolution, kew." Masamune said while glancing at Armand out of the corner of his eye before he asked "How about you, kew. Are you okay, kew?"
Masamune noticed that Armand seemed distracted but said nothing about it as Mudfrigimon was more of a problem at this time. That and the three Goblimon which were moving along with Mudfrigimon till the four digimon had surrounded Masamune and Armand. 'Things just keep getting better, kew.' Masamune thought not fond of the mess he and Armand had found themselves in.
"I and these Goblimon have a job to do. Not one of us give a damn about you scrawny humans. If you are scared of becoming paste you should leave." Mudfrigimon snarled not sounding as cuddly as his appearance would suggest at first glance.

He has no words for what the newly-evolved Digimon said. He knew they would change form during Digivolution, but he never expected that Masamune could change his species through it. Although, he was curious about the term, "Armor Digivolve". Was it different from...
Hey, Professor Clueless! Heads up!
Armand quickly shook his head before turning to the bad gang of Digimon. Voice dissonance aside, the leader wasn't interested in listening any longer. But if he let them fight here, there would be damage to the restaurant and possibly casualties. "But this restaurant isn't yours or on sale!" He countered. "Those folks raised this establishment fair and square and you're going to throw all of that away for your "job"!"
You're digging yourself deeper, mon amie.
Armand ignored the voice and continued, "I will not leave here! You and your accomplices should leave immediately or... Or..." Armand groaned, realizing that he didn't know if police exist in the Digital World. "Or I'll call the authorities!"
Way the go, bud. How will you back that up in a place you're too clueless about?
Good question. One that Armand was trying to figure out while standing between the restaurant itself with Masamune by his side and the Digimon who tried to shake it down.

Mudfrigimon narrowed his eyes as Armand spoke the muddy snowmon gradually looking more and more annoyed at the spirit wielder while pounding his fist into his palm before he bellowed "Shut up, human! Shut up right now!" Then Mudfrigimon charged at Armand intending to smoosh said human into bloody paste.
However Mudfrigimon's attempt to crush Armand didn't come to pass as Masamune tightened his grip on the hilt of Tenken before the now BushiAgumon said "Divine Sword Slash,kew!" His katana Tenken began to glow showing the armor digimon that Mudfrigimon was of the evil alignment which meant his blade got somewhat of a power increase. Tenken knocked back Mudfrigimon's fist causing the brown snowmon to howl in pain from the attack from the holy blade.
"Crawl back into the shadows Mudfrigimon, kew. My katana Tenken was made to fight evil which you apparently are, kew!" Masamune said narrowing his eyes but still wary of the three Goblimon incase they tried something underhanded.
OOC: Divine Sword Slash: Swings his holy katana around in an effort to slice into an enemy. 30% extra damage to digimon of the evil alignment.
