"Eh, what are you talking about?"
"It's Ahs Ah said, hon. Ah smell 2 digimon, but it looks lahke three were here. Ah can't pick up a sent for one of them."
Two digimon were around a recently used campsite during early afternoon in the forest. One was a green, chubby Kyuubimon, sniffing around the area. On her back was a mechanical Impmon, looking around.
"You think it's them? Tab did say one of them was a special digimon, didn't he. Said that he would be unable to enter into that Hylden world due to him being a projection."
"Ah... then chances are it is them. Let's follow the trail. Can't be too far from here by he looks of things..."
The Kyuubimon ran off into a trot, keeping her nose active as she sniffed out the group. Neither of them could believe they were going to work on a portal into another world, but given what has happened to them, anything could happen.

"I win again!' Crystal cheered.
"You got to be kidding me. How do you keep winning?"
"You just have a horrible poker face."
The twins were playing a card game in order to help past the time. Supposedly a couple of the engineers were suppose to show up today. It was nice to know they could finally get started on the portal. All the work they had done was soon going to start coming to fruition. Hopefully it'll all be worth it.
"So do either of you want to play another hand?" She said with a big smirk. What neither of them knew was that she was actually cheating?

^I figured that since this was my first time playing I would lose. I did not expect to lose so... badly.^
At the very least, Pure lasted longer than Sanoske did.
^I shall retire from this game. I am clearly not good enough to attempt to play you.^ He didn't consider that Crystal was cheating; his inexperience led to his losses. Giving a slight huff, he looked around.
^I know how to play Men of the Sea, though. I think I am quite good at that game.^
(((It's a reference to a card game I can't remember the name of from Xenogears. Unlike other RPG card games, this one *can* be played with a normal deck of cards)))

Crystal kind of felt bad for Sanoske. Maybe she went a little over board with the cheating. She knew full well how losing can color someone's opinion about the game. And she did want to play this game again with Sanoske sometime in the future.
"Come on Sanoske. Play at least one more round. Who knows, this might be the round you win?" She said as she shuffled the deck. This was going to be hard to do, but she was hoping to give Sanoske a helping hand without anyone knowing.
"I doubt it. You seem to be on a roll. Why do you always seem to have these lucky streaks when we play this game?" Pure says with a sigh as his head fell onto the table.

Sanoske shook his head. ^Sorry... I need a bit of time to regain lost pride, haha. And maybe some practice as well.^
From a distance away, the other two were closing the distance between themselves and Sanoske and Friends. The siblings would hear them before Sanoske did, but it was obvious their pace was fast. The Gazimon tensed up, and soon the two groups met.
The Kyuubimon and Impmon variants examined the scene.
"Well, well, a group of digimon playing some cards, huh? And one of them is ah massive winged Gazimon. Ah think we found us the digimon we were looking for."
"Heh heh, well then, I guess introductions are in order! I am Mayor of Rustport, Burst the MechaImpmon. My friend here is Karen. We're the help Tab sent to you."
Sanoske sighed. These were the ones that would help them! Standing up, he also introduced himself and the others.
^That is great! Well, I am Sanoske. The Lopmon is Crystal, the Terriermon is Pure. Thank you for helping us out.^
The two looked at Gazimon, confused. "Uh... was he just speaking or growling? I looks like he was trying to speak to us."
"Ah don't know. Ah thought it sounded like he was talking about concentrated minerals or... something?"
^Wait... how is it the Kyuubimon does not understand me?^
"You want to ride on me? Um... sorry, hon, you look... a mite to big for me..."

Crystal and Pure turned as they heard Burst and Karen coming closer. "Someone's here." Crystal would warn the group as they waited for the newcomers to reveal themselves. Both of the twin preparing themselves for a fight in case one was about to arise.
Fortunately that didn't seem needed as the Burst and Karen introduced themselves, and mention that they were the ones the Tab had sent for. That was fantastic. They could finally get ready to work on the portal. Though there appeared to be a new problem now.
When Sanoske introduced the group, neither of the two seem to understand him. It made sense that the impmon wouldn't understand, but the Kyuubimon as well? It didn't make much sense to any of them. Well she did appear to have some kind of translation for his growls, though they didn't exactly match with what he said.
"Hey Sanoske. Aren't beast digimon like her suppose to understand what your saying?" Pure asked.
Crystal was a bit more forward. "Hey! Your not trying to pull something on him, are you? Because it's not nice messing with his unique way of speaking." Crystal defended Sanoske believing that there was a good chance that Karen was trying to play some type of trick on them.
((EDIT: I need to remember to switch profiles XD))

Burst quickly got up off the Kyuubimon and stood in front of the group. At the very least, Burst was more than experienced enough with settling altercations. He considered himself a proactive mayor, after all.
"Hey, hey, hey, let's not get out of hand. We came here to help you guys not try to tease anyone. So lets bury this... mutual misunderstanding, alright?
As the Terriermon said, apparently beast type digimon are supposed to understand Sanoske's growls... Of course, I'm not going to be able to understand him..."
Karen reverted to her rookie form, a green, chubby Renamon wearing a long purple skirt and a sleeveless turtleneck sweater. She also seemed to have a simple hairstyle. Not to mention who accent. It was obvious that she was no normal Renamon.
"And Ah'm only able to half understand him. Well, Ah guess Ah misinterpreted Tab saying that he 'growls as he speaks'. Perhaps he assumed Ah could understand him. Sadly, this isn't quite the case.
Ahs to whah, Ah already know but... if it is okay with you darlin's, Ah's rather not delve into that."
Sanoske began to speak to Crystal, ^If she is only able to half understand me then that means she is not fully a beast type. She might be an abnormal digimon. And we have certainly seen our fair share of those.^

Crystal backed off a little as Burst went to Karen's offence. It seemed that Karen couldn't actually fully understand what Sanoske is saying. Though that just brought on it's own series of questions.
"Look. All I'm saying is that I don't appreciate it if she was making fun of Sanoske. Seeing how she isn't, that brings up a whole different situation entirely. Though as you don't want me to press I won't." She explained. Not wanting to cause a fight.
Pure looked between his sister and the newcomers. While he doubt it would happen, he really hope a fight didn't break out between the two parties over something so little. Especially seeing how that could spell the end of saving Mel's sister.
"Now that we come to an understanding, I... I guess we'll just have to be Sanoske interpreters. Speaking of which, my name is Pure and the defensive one is my sister. And as you may have guessed, this big guy back here is Sanoske." He said with feign confidence. He wasn't exactly use to this kind of thing, but he was really hoping that it wouldn't show.
Trying to make a good first impression and all that.
((Edit:*Facepalm* I can't believe I just did this again after I just stated I needed to stop doing it.))

"Thanks, hon. Much appreciated." Karen wasn't quite willing to explain to them how she was half human. That would bring up far more questions she wasn't ready to answer for a group of strangers.
With introductions out the way, Burst continued on.
"Excellent! Now to business... there's one other digimon helping build the portal, and he's with Tab getting thing set up... although there was a slight snag...
It looks like someone went into my old lab and then not only used it for their own purposes, but it's also blown up. I was going to use that building to house the portal but it seems like I'll have to go to another area nearby.
However... I must admit, going through the wreckage I did notice something. Some of the parts I was told to get also matched some of the parts I saw in my lab.
You guys wouldn't have anything to do with that... do you?"
Burst crossed his arms, but he wasn't angry... just concerned. Sanoske figured out that, maybe, the lab he destroyed while saving Crystal and freeing Pure just so happened to be Burst's old lab.

So Burst's lab was destroyed by an explosion. So was it possible then that it was the same as that one they blew up to stop Mel. It did sound like it was. Though
"I can't really say. There was alot that has happened this past month or so. We did happen to blow up a lab that trying to stop something that I rather not get into details about. So it may be your lab. Can't say for certain though." Crystal said truthfully with a shrug.
Even if it did happen to be Burst's lab that they destroyed, she wasn't going to apologize for it. She nearly lost both her brother and herself because of what Mel was able to do with that lab. They needed to do what they had to do to stop him. And if that included blowing up someones abandon lab, then she had no regrets.
Pure just looked over at his sister with a small frown before looking back at Burst. "I'm sorry to hear about your lab sir. It won't end up causing to much problems for the portal, will it?" Pure said, feeling a bit more guilty about the whole affair.

Burst more or less already assumed that they were the ones who blew up his laugh. His serious expression changed to slight amusement, however, giving a slight chuckle.
"Look, I'm not mad at any of you guys. It *was* abandoned by me... well, less abandoned and more 'I got arrested so I couldn't go back'. I wasn't always the nicest digimon around, heh heh.
I'm fairly certain it was you guys who destroyed it, and while I did have some... nostalgia for the old place, you gotta do what you gotta do, right?
Still... hate to see it go. The village nearby was where I first met Karen. Kept me from making the biggest mistake of my life and allowed me to gain a second chance. And I do admit, me and Karen were partially interested in this little job to see how that Hylden inside Pure handles his second chance. We've done things we've regretted in the past using our talents for less than admirable means. So, helping people out is our way of... making amends.
Anyway, the lab would have aided me a bit were it still intact, but with it destroyed it won't cause any considerate delays. Nothing that a couple hours of extra work couldn't fix.

"Well it seems that Tab has kept you well informed." Crystal pointed out.
She actually wasn't quite sure how much Tab would tell them about their situation. Though it seems that he has more or less the same things that they told him. That removed some weight from her chest. Explaining everything that has happened wasn't exactly something she was looking forward too.
"So... Uhh... What about..? I'm sorry. I don't really know what else to really say right now." Pure said coyly. Hearing about what the Lab meant to Burst made Pure feel even worse for what happened there. Hopefully Mel would follow the footsteps of these two, and truly turn over a new leaf.

Burst clasped his gloved, metallic hands together, wringing them slightly. "Welp, with that out of the way, we should head off. It'll take some time to put everything together, and we need our Hylden friend to aid us in making the portal.
Tab is also still working on that egg to store that Hylden's sister in. Chances are, though, that the machine will be done a good time before the egg is, based on what Tab told me. At the very least, if you guys want a well developed egg.
So, anything else you want to do here before we set off?"

"Is that so? Well that's going to require some extra planning." Crystal said at the news that the new body won't be ready at the time. This was a time sensitive operation as it is. They couldn't afford to waste time waiting for the Egg to be made. They needed to figure out someway to keep her safe while she's in their world.
"You know. We could always use another digimon as a temporary vessel for her while we wait for the egg to create." A small scowl appeared on Crystal's face as she heard these words. While it was Pure's voice, she knew full well that it wasn't Pure that was saying this. Instead it was the parasite that was now living within his body. "Of course it'll require me to get a machine that will force her into another's body while she's still unconsious and safely extract her once the egg is ready. Plus a volunteer to be her... Let say surrogate body for the time being." Mel looked over at Crystal as he finished his statement.
"Well I hope your not expecting me to volunteer for such a role. I may have agreed on this rescue mission, but that doesn't mean I trust you enough to use my body like that." Crystal stated clearly.
"I guess I should have expected as much. Well I'm sure we can find someone who's willing to save a poor innocent girl from her eternal prison. Til then, I'm sure you would like the assistance of someone who has experience with such portals." Mel said to Karen and Burst, "And in case you didn't know. The name's Mel and I'm the one that your helping out these next few days."

Sanoske looked to Pure once Mel took over. He didn't catch on as fast as Crystal did in figuring out that the Hylden was now in control, but everyone else could tell that there was still some tension between Mel and Crystal.
"Be nahce, Hylden.You're already on thin ahce, so trah to keep the sarcasm low." Karen spoke with concern, thinking that Mel would do well to not tick off his host's sister with such lines about saving his own sibling. Burst then spoke again.
"So, you're the Hylden digimon. Anyway, I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there in terms of where to put your sister. Also, I'm pretty sure more of us involved can't house a Hylden 'properly' than those who choose not to.
Anyway, let's head on out. The others should be ready for us by now..."
Suddenly, a voice sweetly rang out from nearby... "And may the eyes find me... for I hold stock to, yes?"
From behind a tree was a familiar Palmon, Vetina. Neither Karen nor Burst knew what was with this newcomer, but Sanoske glared at her, mostly out of surprise than anything.
^What are you doing here, Vetina?^
"Our ropes ties us to a common fulcrum. So, at a point it would stand that I decided to be an occasional shadow to your bodies. A paltry feat seasoned with patience and ninja skills.
But when Hylden's step up, one can't help for likes to sense likes, isn't that confirmed, Mel?"[/colored]
All the while Karen was afraid of saying anything about there being yet another digimon she couldn't understand, lest Crystal chewed her out again.
