Since a certain reunion near on the end of summer break, Koutarou has yet received any sort of call from his friends. As much as he think they're busy, this much is just too much for some reason. He hated to stay on one place, licking up to peoples, trying to fit, and then again, he got nothing from it other than fake friendships. He have no idea what he's doing when he decided to take a train to Shibuya while he himself supposed to go to Nerima... more specifically, Hikarigaoka where Yuuki and Karin lives... Well, it doesn't matter. Ryouta did said he lives somewhere close by here.
Still... what does his friends doing? It's not like they forgot about him, right? He's not the type that came unannounced, but this kind of thing... well, let's just say he's starting to get impatient and tried to reach out at anything remotely 'true' compared to his daily life. He already lied way too much for his liking.
Plus, it's not like he come here just for that...
He have to ask his friends if they also got the same device as him, because until a while now, it has been beeping continuously.

Ahh, the breeze, the fresh air! Nothing was better than an afternoon walk right after getting stuffed with pasta at the italian restaurant near Society Hill. As Tatsuya Kazan walked, relaxing and enjoying his free time, he heard Dorimon snoring loudly. His partner had fallen into a deep sleep after eating, trying to accumulate enough power to grow. When he learned Ayaka was already an Ultimate, he couldn't stay put and do nothing.
The park itself wasn't very crowded, but he wasn't paying any attention to whoever could be there, to be honest. The eighteen-year-old enjoyed each step as the slightly cold atmosphere filled his lungs and spread in his body, effectively refreshing it. In the meantime, he looked at the sky with his hands on his pockets.
Perhaps, that was why he didn't saw that there was someone standing on his way. Before he could even react, his body collided with another one smaller, with enough force to knock a smaller person back... but yet again, he was usually taller than most people, so it was a safe bet to assume that was what had happened.
As his gaze and mind came to Earth again, returning from his dreamy state, he apologized. -Hey, sorry, I didn't see you there -Tatsuya said, but then offered the other teenager his hand. He half-smiled, looking at who was going to become his new acquaintance. If he didn't accept the shake, he'd shrug it off and go. After all, he was just being his usual self.
-Name is Tats, Tatsuya Kazan. What's yours?

Ever got hit by someone much taller than you are? Well, Koutarou have no idea what just happened as he just landed on his backside. Ouch, that really hurts... He was about to glare at the other person before noticing that somehow, the device on his hand is pointing on this guy.
"...Apologies accepted," Koutarou replied as he grabbed the taller guy's hand for support. He wonders if he's that short or it's the big guy who's zoned out too much? Whichever it is, he's glad that the item on his hand is not broken the slightest nor even managed to fell from his hand. The guy seem still offered his hand for an introduction, it's odd... Japanese doesn't do that a lot, don't they? Oh scratch it... probably this guy is a half foreigner. Koutarou shook it, slightly weakly.
"Aisaka Koutarou, pleasure to make your acquaintance," Koutarou replied.
Oblivious to who's this guy in front of him, Koutarou checked his device again to make sure it's correctly pointing at the guy in front of him.
"...Say, would you happened to know what is this, Kazan-san?"
Probably Tatsuya would know him from the photo Ryouta showed him...

Myashita Park. A calm, quiet, relaxing place where...
"My general where exactly are we heading?" Silversteamdramon asked from the fusion loader. Elson facepalmed.
Ok, maybe Myashita Park wasn`t all that peacefull, at least not when you have a mechanical dragon who can`t stop speaking loudly from a device in your pocket.
"You have to kidding me, Silversteamdramon, I thought I just told you not to speak, unless I said, and that when you spoke, you`d do it quietly?" Elson asked annoyed.
"I spoke my argument about that arledy. I can`t speak quietly because "quietly" comes from "quiet" which means "silent". I can`t speak AND be silent at the same time." Silversteamdramon replied.
"Then there`s a simple solution. Don`t speak, just be silent."
Not too far ahead, Elson saw two people bumping into each other. Elson, wouldn`t have cared, not if one the strangers hadn`t show his digivice to the other. Elson walked towards them.
"Hi there! So, you`re a tamer, huh? What`s your name?" Elson asked the one that had shown his digivice. |

As Tatsuya looked at the boy, he couldn't help but to feel that his face was somehow... familiar, though he wasn't sure if that would be the best way to describe it. It was this sort of a deja vu that a lot of people had from time to time, but unbeknownst to him, he was about to discover who the boy was in the following instants. As the guy he had unpurposedly thrown into the ground got up and shook his hand, introducing himself as Aisaka Kotarou, he quickly asked him something else.
-...Say, would you happened to know what is this, Kazan-san? -Kotarou asked. Tatsuya half smiled at first, when he hadn't looked at the item. -Geez, just call me Tatsuya. All that formal speech always kills me, ya know -he carelessly said, although then his gaze directed to the item in his acquaintance's hand. A digivice?! That could only mean...
Then, methaforically speaking of course, light bulbs began lighting inside his head. If he was a Tamer, he knew where he had seen him before. -Of course! You are one of that friends that Ryouta told me to meet! I should've remembered, but I was spacing out, to be honest. Yeah, I know what that is, it's called a Digivice, a D-3 to be exact.
His explanation was then interrupted when yet another person, accompanied by a Digimon that Tatsuya thought seemed similar to Charles's Steamdramon's form. -Hi there! So, you`re a tamer, huh? What`s your name?
The teen put his hands on his pockets, and also pulled his Digivice out, showing two clear signals next to him. -"There are much more people in contact with the Digimon than I thought at first..." -echoed inside his mind.

Koutarou raised his eyebrow... Where did he do wrong? "But didn't you... introduce yourself with Tatsuya Kazan---d'oh..." he just noticed something. Westerner's naming format is different than the Japanese afterall. So he's supposed to call him in different way... front over the behind. Silly him. However, at the mention of Ryouta seem knowing what device it is, his gears starts to rotate. Ryouta having the same device? But why don't he call him? Yuuki seem distressed in the same day of the gathering, but he doesn't called him when he's supposed to be in Odaiba... What's going on?
"...Sorry, can you please tell me more what my friends told you, Tatsuya? And more about the device if you don't mind... I'm sort of... well, lost, honestly..."
Then a stranger appeared. Koutarou really is not in mood for this kind of interaction. It's really disturbing in sense where somehow when he pulled out the device, peoples with some relation to it appeared. Tatsuya is bearable because he got information about Ryouta and others... most probably their ally... but this guy? Who is this guy? Koutarou quickly tries to assess the situation...
First decision is, if he doesn't know whether this guy is friendly or not, just play along.
"...Tamer? Sorry, but that term sounds rather... barbaric... I'm just a normal guy who suddenly got this device several weeks ago... Name's Aisaka Koutarou."

Nobody seemed to take Elson's arrival that well.
"Name's Elson. I'm an Xros general. Nice to meet you." Elson said after after the comment on the amount of people with digimon and he reached out with his hand for a handshake. "What are your names? And your partners?"
Of course the other guy saying that "tamer" seemed barbaric led Elson to a simple conclusion.
"So, you haven't got your digimon partner yet. That explains why you'd just pull your digivice to show it so someone. Well, Koutaro, you got it right, you are a normal guy, but that's given almost everyone seems to have one of those, thought with a different model. Fit example mine." Elson stated and he pulled his xros loader out, before pocketing it back.
"Ain't you gonna take me out and introduce me to those guys, my general?" Silversteamdramon asked.
"Oh, yes, that's Silversteamdramon, my first partner, and piece of junk who doesn't seem to understand what "shut up" means." Elson commented. "Anyway, in case you're wondering a tamer is a human with a digivice of your model and a single digimon partner, and an Xros general is a human with my model of digivice and more than one partner." |

-The other boy seemed thoughtful when Tatsuya asked him to call him by his first name. Of course, he had forgotten that in Japan, the last name was always named in the first place, which would make him "Kazan, Tatsuya". He then thought that, maybe, all of the Japanese people he had met so far thought his name was Kazan, not Tatsuya! -"Hm... I guess I should clarify things with everyone, if that was the case" -he thought to himself, although then he was brought into reality again when he was questioned about the D-3.
-Well, where should I start...? -he began, but then was interrupted by a newcomer, whose name was Elson, and called himself a "Xros General". What did that mean, though? So far, he had only met Tamers, Spirit Wielders, and other lone Digimon, but a Xros General? And what was the meaning of Xros? Why was he a general? Did he had an army, or something like that? Because Tatsuya could only see SilverSteamdramon by his side. Without a second thought on the matter, the eighteen-year-old reached for his hand and shook it.
As Elson explained a little about Digimon to the other human, Tatsuya, who was a Tamer, looked at the device. It was the same type as his, so it was safe to assume that this human was about to become another Tamer. -Well, Kotarou, I know the term is a little harsh. I prefer "partners" much better. Now, let me explain. Sooner or later, you'll get a huge egg with a strange pattern. That is called Digiegg, or Digitama. As you can probably guess, something will hatch from the egg, and that creature is what we call "Digimon". Your Digimon will then become your partner. It'll be your responsibility to take care of him -Tatsuya explained.
He would get his partner out of his bag, but it was still asleep. -I know how you feel. When I got the Digivice, I couldn't believe it either. Now my life is everything but normal... in a good way! There are far more people in contact with Digimon that you'd think at first, so don't worry.

Koutarou was seriously confused. Xros Generals? Tamers? What with all the terms? The fourteen years old trying to make sense form anything the conversation, but it's seem like there's something more than just an ordinary tamagotchi appearing on his bag out of sudden. However, that's when... a strange.. monster appearing on this guy... Elson, was it? side... well, he don't know what to think about it, but all he knows, the world is not as what it's like.
"I'm really sorry, gimme like... five minutes to digest this all. I'm not sure I'm getting what your point is right now..." Koutarou has switched from his 'normally appealing' polite way of speaking to his normal informal speech, a sign that he's tired of maintaining his facade. Yeah, there's no need for it when something really confusing as this happened.
"...So let me summarize of what you two just said..." Koutarou finally spoke after exaclty five minutes silence from him. "This... this thing on my hand is called Digivice, Digivice has a lot of model... or two? I have no idea... And this... partner stuffs... We--I mean, I'll be partnered to one of this... er... Digimon? Either way, they come with an egg, and saying stuff like that, it sounds that regardless of the kind, I'll still get an egg anyway, is that right?" the boy asked, totally not sure if he just summarized it alright.
"...Well, taking care part is alright, but honestly... I... am not sure what to think of this..."
Just as he said that, his device let out a trill, pointing at a golden signal quite close from their spot.
"...??"

(OOC: actually, Silversteamdramon was in Elson's cross loader, but I'll edit it later saying he left it so you two don't have to edit your posts. Just have to figure out a motive.)
The boy seemed to be having some trouble taking in Elson's and Tatsuya's explanations on what was going on. Still, Koutaro tried to summarize it, a way of accepting this contentfull reality that was digimon. And when the boy finished, a strange marking appeared on his devoce's screen, indicating the location of something in Elson's opinion.
"You should go check that. It's probably your partner's egg or maybe your partner itself." Elson stated.
"Wait eggs can just warp into the human world wherever they want?! My general, shouldn't we then..." Silversteamdramon began asking Elson.
"Silversteamdramon, if you are mad enought to even suggest that, then we should go back to the digital world and try to find a way to repair you." Elson threatened. That's when another flash of light came from his Fusion loader, followed by Tinkermon's appearance.
"Did somebody me soon an egg? Can I help finding him, I love babies! Pleaaaaase?" Tinkermon asked, eager as always. "I promises I'll behave!"
"Well you just broke that promises by getting out of the fusion loader without permission. Besides it's not my call it's Koutaro's call, cause it's his partner." Elson replied. Tinkermon turned to the boy.
"Hi! I'm tinkermon, can I help you find your partner? Please?" The fairy digimon asked, begging Koutaro with her eyes.
"Will she ever get a brain, my general?" Silversteamdramon whispered to Elson
"Will any of you?" Elson whispered back. |

OOC: D'oh D: Sorry prophet!
Tatsuya realized that all that explaining could be too confusing for the boy. As Koutarou did his best in an attempt to summarize what he had been told by both humans, the eighteen-year-old crossed his arms and nodded. He had gotten everything alright. -Yeah, that's pretty much it! I know it can be hell of confusing as first, but as soon as you get your partner, you'll see it's having one more friend, although with incredible powers. The best part is that you'll have the chance to meet a lot of people! Look at this situation: you just pulled out the D-3 and two people stopped to talk to ya. See what I mean?
That moment, Koutarou's D-3 started trilling, indicating him a position not far away from their current spot. That could only mean... his partner's Digitama was near! In the meantime, Elson's team was already discussing whether should they assist in the search or not. One of his army's members, a Tinkermon, decided to try and help them, and asked Koutarou for permission. Not wanting to be useless for the time being, Tatsuya woke up Dorimon, who angrily popped his head out of the backpack. -Tatsuya, youw idiowt, let me sleep for a while! -he stated.
-Heh, as cheerful as always. Well, Elson, Koutarou, this is my partner, which as of now is Dorimon, but he tends to hang around in his Rookie form. Now... Dorimon, do you smell a Digitama nearby? I know it's confusing with this many people around, but...
The In-Training's answer was fast. -How many times has my sense of smwell failed, Tatsuya? Jwust let me seawch fow it! -he stated, taking great pride on his tracking abilities. Not losing time, his partner darted off, running as fast as his tiny paws allowed him to. -Come on! Follow us!

...He's not sure where he should stand anymore. This is just... simply too shocking for him to comprehend. Alright, so there are many kind of monsters, and then he'll get his egg... and this... Girl? Female? Digimon somehow just popped out of of nowhere and asked him if she could help him searching the egg. Not just that, Tatsuya and his partner already goes ahead of him even without him answering the pixie. Honestly, does Ryouta and the others also goes through this kind of event?
"...Let's take that as yes... errr, Tinkermon."
Koutarou quickly followed after the older teen. While he felt he can just like that run away, something in his heart told him to not. Although he felt like he can just like that left without the egg, his moral does not allow him. By nature, he's an animal lover. His parents are vet, and thanks to that kind of upbringing that he refuses to stay silent when he saw an animal that needs his care. He have no idea whether to think Digimon as animal or human... But even so, even so... If this Digimon is his, all the more reason to help him, right?
Far away, a rainbow generated as shining feathers of unknown bird gathers together to form a Digitama.
I've been waiting for you, Milord.

"Yay! I get to, I get to help, I get to help, I..." Tinkermon began chanting after bring given permission to aid in finding Koutaro's partner's egg, dropping however when Koutaro ran after Tatsuya, who was chasing his partner, Dorimon. "Hey! I said I wanted to help! It's not fair, why can't I get a great nose too?" Tinkermon commented, as she flied in chase of the Dorimon, with Elson and Silversteamdramon behind her.
"Don't worry, I'm sure at this rate you'll turn into a dog in no time! Look your brain is arledy on that state!" Silversteamdramon replied.
"Better a dig than a...hum...dumb, rusty robot!" Tinkermon shouted, before flying ahead of them, right next to Dorimon. "Wow you're cute. When were YOU born?" she asked the running in-training.
Soon they arrived at the location of the egg.
"DRIMOGEMON? What are YOU doing there?" Tinkermon asked shocked, noticing the mole digimon standing next to the digiegg waiting for them and waving as they arrived.
"I sent him ahead, given for him there is little to no obstacle in the way and his orientation sense is better than any underground. Got anything for me, Drimogemon?" Elson explained.
"Not much, I was a little late too, but I did get to see some feathers falling and turning into the egg." Drimogemon reported. Elson became thoughtfull for a moment.
"Ok, that's interesting. That means the egg didn't just warp into this world. It was planted here. Most likely for Koutaro." Elson concluded. |

Not thinking about the harsh and confusing situation the poor Koutarou must be living, Tatsuya and Dorimon raced to the location of the Digitama, followed by Elson's Digimon and the aforementioned boy. Back there, the Tinkermon said that she was also eager to help, asking why couldn't she have a great noise. -Juwst leawve it two mwe! -the In-Training Digimon said as his baby-like speech kicked in, a deffect of his early form.
The fairy like Digimon then asked when he was born, because he was very cute. -I'm nwot cwute! I'm a vewy vewy stwong Digimon! -he said, still running. It was Tatsuya the one who answered her question. -I met him almost two months ago, but don't let his appearence decieve you... when he says he's powerful, he means it -the Tamer stated, proud of his partner. As if to prove his point, Dorimon accelerated in a display of the speed that was probably his best weapon, and also made him a potential target for Charles's Spirits.
As they reached the indicated spot, they could see a Digitama, brought down by a rainbow and a few feathers. It was then when another of Elson's partners, Drimogemon, cracked out of the ground and informed them about the situation. The Xros General then came to the conclusion that the egg was planted there for Koutarou to find it, which meant that it hadn't materialized from the Digital World, but rather, someone had taken it along and left it there.
-Hm... I've never heard of such a case. But then again, I'm still inexperienced as a Tamer -the teen said, rubbing the right side of his mouth with his thumb.

Feathers... rainbow... and then, an egg... He have no idea what is it all about, and all he could think right now is theory why the heck the egg is here. Elson mentioned that it's planted by someone, not materializing from Digital World like how it's supposed to... He finally snapped out of his confusion when a single feather brushes his cheek, staying materialized despite it's supposed to burst into pieces of data by now. Koutarou catches it before it could leave his grasp. Despite the strong sunlight in the day, it still emits faint aurora-like light pattern under the shade.
"...Hmmm..." the teen never saw this kind of object before... it definitely is something... He pocketed it immediately, wondering if it'll still be there until the next time he meet the source. But now, his worries is how to find an ostrich to hatch it... Sure, his parents sometimes goes to zoo to check the animals there, but he's not sure if they would believe him if he told them he found something this huge...
"...Tatsuya-san, Elson-san... please don't tell me I have to find an ostrich just for this egg... that gonna spell instant 'are you crazy' reaction from my parents and the zookeeper if I asked them to lend me one."
