Shibuya Train Terminal. It wasn't the place Nikumo wanted to be today, but it very well was their destination. With no car, the girl was used to travel by train. She was carrying with her a fairly large yellow duffel bag, it being a bit heavier than what she normally would have on her. Stepping out of the first train they had been on to get here, the girl look around at her surroundings, she being just another person of the sea of Shibuya civilians.
The bag that the girl was carrying suddenly unzipped up, the head of a black-furred animal peeking out. "Are we there yet? I want out." The black furred pipe fox asked out aloud, she for a moment sticking a part of her body out of the bag like a toy chihuahua inside a purse. The BlackKudamon was impatient, she wanting to get out and stretch. She and her sister had been cramped in this bag for the past hour now, and truthfully... she was sick of it. Thankfully before any issues arise, she is pushed back into the bag gently by the human girl's hand.
"Ssh." Nikumo responded, not wanting for anything to go wrong here. Last thing she needed was for the fox Digimon's presense to be discovered. She glanced nervously around, making sure no one had seen the Rookie level's presense. She still had doubts that this train station would be able to get them to the Digital World... or whatever it was called... but it was where they needed to go. The two new tamers had no experience with this, and the Digital World was the only place where they could meet more people like them. "I'm not sure how this would be where we need to go... but if we are going to find trains, this is the place to go."
Peeking out of the large bag Nikumo was lugging around, enough to get her voice out there, the Berlamon took a very brief glance at her surroundings, making sure that she wasn't seen. The enviroment was alien to her... Humans were truly strange creatures. However, she knew one thing for sure... this place was not grounded within reality. She silently thanked her once studious ways, for otherwise, she'd had likely been stranded here in this world with this... girl along with very immature Digimon that she now had the annoyance to call "sister". "I am positive. This city... it is a hot spot for Digital World activity. If we are going to find a way there, it's somewhere here." She'd quickly say to the tall woman before ducking back into the bag.
Nikumo took a deep breath, a bit tired already. It was stressful enough being out of the house... being out of the house while lugging around two talking animals around was a different story. "You keeping up Haruto?" She'd ask her friend who was hopefully right behind her, he also taking along the other Digimon they had found with him. At least they weren't alone doing this. She'd have had a much tougher time adjusting if it weren't for her good friend being there by her side.

Shibuya Train Station; Solace's first step in what would be a travel towards home. The girl had to say that she was really pumped about her result on the competition! A clean first place, the competition not standing a chance against her.
That's what she called skill. Nothing could stand against the might of the reverse penhold grip; certainly not some wannabe table tennis players like the ones she had found in the tournament. Japanese folk had to improve by quite a bit if they wanted to be serious contenders on the scene.
Anyhow, yeah... Shibuya Train Station; which train did she have to take, again? She wished she could remember among all the weird names that Japanese people used to name no more and no less than their trains. It was a bit crazy, in all honesty. In the end, she managed to approach an older teenager that was... well, a tall mongoloid, especially in comparison with Solace's petite figure.
"Uh, excuse me, Miss." She said in a bit of doubt. "What Train do I have to take in order to go to Tokyo's Downtown?"

"Would you... stay in there!" Haruto muttered as a violet colored furball continuously peeked out from the bag, the being's red eyes watching everything around them curiously before he was pushed back inside the bag with a bit of force. "But I want to see what's out there." The voice whined inside the bag, thankfully muffled because there was a bit of a crowd but thanks to whatever stroke of luck they were being given a wide berth and no one was paying attention to them.
"We're almost there, just hold on a little while longer." The pink-haired male grumbled under his breath before throwing Nikumo a look. "Yes, I'm keeping up. And about the location of whatever might bring us to this strange Digital World. The Digivice said that Trailmons are supposed to be the Digital World version of trains, and what better place to find said trains than a Train Station? Besides Pagumon said that he could feel a large concentration of Data around this place, I think it has to do something with being a Virus Attribute Digimon or whatever, Virus prey on Data and what not correct?" Haruto shrugged since at this point he was just saying bullshit while trying to sound intelligent.
"It smells like mothballs in here..." Pagumon groaned pitifully once more, drawing a sweatdrop from Haruto. Thankfully they were almost there but someone suddenly walked up to Nikumo and asked them a question. "Er..." Haruto blinked and wisely stayed out of the conversation, even though he has been living on Shibuya for the better part of two years, some stuff still eluded him. "You got this, Nikumo." Haruto threw his bed bud a thumbs up while grinning weakly.

"Whatever gets us there I suppose." Nikumo shrugged as Haruto sorta spoke. Living trains? Sure. Let's go with that. Not like her reality wasn't already shattered anyway. As the girl silently brooded upon this, she suddenly was caught off guard by a much shorter girl... probably more normal compared to her own freakish height.
Oh crap... she was horrible with people. "Oh gee..." Nikumo muttered under her breath as she tried to think of what to say to answer the girl's question. Downtown Tokyo... Downtown Tokyo. "Err well, try the Yamanote Line trains. You can get to just about anywhere from there..." She'd say, it about the first thing that came up in her mind.
Nikumo couldn't help but gulp slightly, a bit unnecessarily nervous. "Sorry, we uh... are a bit occupied. Trying to find a station uh... to downtown Tokyo too with my friend." She lied a bit awkwardly as she shrugged towards her friend, letting the younger girl know that they were together. Being out and about, especially in such a public enviroment. It was different with Haruto... the two were so comfortable as friends... but a stranger? Even just someone who younger than her? She couldn't help herself but be a bit jittery... though she at least took comfort that it looked like she was also a bit nervous.
As she stood there a bit awkwardly, Nikumo felt the duffel bag she was carrying be pushed abruptly into another direction, enough to make her stumble. At first a angry, she noticed that the direction that the rather feisty Digimon had pushed her towards had something interesting. Away from the people, there was what looked like a device bolted onto a wall, a door that looked not quite like the others in the train station. Somehow, she felt as if it looked... out of place. Was... was that where they needed to go? She gestured Haruto, pointing at the kiosk, almost forgetting about the girl. "Come on Haruto, this way." She'd say, briskly walking towards the strange part of the train station.

Well, the girl might as well have spoken to her in chinese to her; maybe she'd have asked for a pointer to where she had to go? That'd have been the smart move.
Before she could ask either Nikumo or Haruto (at least she had gotten her names) they were well on their way to... the same place to her? That meant she could follow them and end up where she wanted to be!
That sounded like an excellent plan, like the most flawless strategy ever devised to anybody in the whole wide world. The best part was that she was so young that the chances of her looking like a creeper instead of an innocent thirteen-year old was pretty much zero percent.
They walked rather quickly, but the girl would keep up with them. Easy peasy.

Haruto winced internally as Nikumo bullshitted through her teeth to the little girl. He sometimes forgot that Nikumo wasn't really much of a people person and that her social skills were a bit lacking.
It was still a miracle the fact that they managed to date for a while only to become the best of friends later, considering these odds but they made it work.
He broke that train of thought when Nikumo seemed to stumble and collect herself. He blinked at the rather strange door that seemed to have appeared from absolutely nowhere, since he had not seen it until Nikumo had at first and pointed to it. "Well, as they say, never looked at a gifted horse in the mouth." The pink-haired male muttered under his breath before following his best friend's heels.

As the two approached the scanner, Nikumo noticed that it seemed to have two indentations. Experimentally, Nikumo pulled out her Digivice, noting how one of the slots in the scanner was actually about the same shape and size of the strange devices she and Haruto had obtained earlier. Putting it into said slot, the scanner began to hum curiously before a light lit up on both it and the door. Did... did that mean it was open now? The girl pocketed the device once more, she grabbing onto the handle of the door and pulling it, it opening up with no real resistance.
Inside, it was a dark stairway descending downward, only lit up by a few lights on the ceiling. She glanced at Haruto briefly, almost unsure of herself. Well... it WAS open for them now. The only real way they could go now was down... so she obliged. The girl began to take the first experimental steps down the strange stairway, an odd feeling that they were being followed. Of course, she was too distracted by all of this weirdness to truly notice.
Eventually, after what felt like minutes of walking, the stairway seemed to finally end, it leading into a poorly lit subway tunnel, it devoid of any life besides them. In it was a single train followed by several compartment cars connected to it. Honestly, the place felt very different compared to the subway tunnels of the other train lines that she had rode in the past. The walls themselves were made with bricks instead of say metal, (Japan certainly did like making everything they made shiny and sparkly.)
"Is this the place?" She asked aloud, though she felt like she knew the answer either way.
The duffel bag she carried suddenly opened up, both Digimon that had been hiding in it coming out. Berlamon noted the lack of people finally, she sighing with relief. Finally... being in that bag was very uncomfy, especially while sharing it with another living being. Her gut instinct definitely did confirm with her that this had to be the place. "We are here. This is definitely where we will hitch a ride to the Digital World." Finally... she was going to be home. But how long has it been since she's last been there? She had no idea...
"Really? This dusty place? It's all old and moldy..." BlackKudamon whined, she sniffing the dusty air. This was not exactly the fresh air she had been hoping for, but it'd do for now. Were they going to get on that train? The thought was exciting.

Plan was flawless; complete and utterly flawless! For a spare moment, Solace thought of herself as a spy of sorts; chasing hardened criminals through a serious of complex tunnels, just to realize an instant afterwards that she was just following a tall mongoloid and a boy that just looked... plain weird. Probably not even illegal, and it wasn't as if she could go to jail anyway.
Well, maybe pink hair was illegal in Japan? That'd be a good reason for them to try and be as inconspicuous as they could. In any case, her initially paranoid suspicions began to take form the longer she followed; first, a device that acted as a ID card, then the dark stairway, and then the tunnel. Oh god, what if... what if! What if these people were truly criminals!? What if...
WHAT IF THEY WERE HIDING AN ENTIRE RESERVE OF PINK HAIR DYE? Solace didn't know how she'd do it, but she had to stop them. Only god knew what would happen if that amount of pink dye was released; it would certainly not be pretty.
She still followed them through the tunnel, gazing at the single old train with a measure of amazement and fear. That was surely when the illegal goods were stored. This was it; now, she only had to quietly return to the upper level and after telling the police, she'd be a hero!
Well, that was the plan before those strange creatures got out of the mongoloid's bag. The brunette's eyes, now open like saucers, just stared, horrified at the strange shadows and voices in front of them as she stepped back in surprise.
"Eek!"
Only to realize afterwards that those were really cute, yet strange animals. The black one was especially cute that she wanted to hug it... but that wasn't the matter right now.
"S-stop right now!" She called out, trying to sound as bold as she could, but failing horribly at it. "I know w-what you're doing and if you don't stop right now, I'll call the police! J-just... hand over the illegal hair dye!"

Haruto gave the barely light stairs going down a doubtful look, and once he and Nikumo looked at each other he quickly mentioned with a deadpan tone. "This reminds me of SCP-87, you know the one with the darkened stairs going down?" He wasn't helping the situation but he couldn't help but stated that.
"If I see some shadowy shape in front of us I swear to god I'm turning tail and hoofing it." Haruto threatened but loyally followed Nikumo into the mouth of the wolf. With every minute that passed by he felt more apprehensive and jumpy at the shadow near them caused by the barely there lights shining their way down. "I don't know what kind of sick perverse pleasure I get," Haruto started to say, almost randomly and without prompt. "Since I own all the Five Nights at Freddy's games and love to play it even though I scare easily."
Thankfully the stairs finally lead them to a seemingly abandoned train station with a single train in port. And with no human being in sight besides them, so he deemed it fine to let Havoc out of the bag.
Once he was out the purple furball took a deep breath before shooting Haruto a look. "Never. Again." Merely sweatdropping at the growling Pagumon he instead looked at Nikumo. "I still think this is a bad idea... a terribly, catastrophically bad idea..." Even as he said that an excited grin worked its way across his features. "Let's do it!"
"You're weird." Pagumon deemed it necessary to say aloud, shaking his head at his Tamer's idiosyncrasies.
"Gah!" Haruto, and to a lesser extend Havoc as well, cried out in alarm at the new and human voice that sounded behind them all. Whirling around the pink-haired male stared at the girl from before with a surprised expression, entirely not unlike a kid who got caught with their hands inside the cookie jar.
Though what the girl said next threw him for a loop, before the flash of understanding, followed closely by anger crossed his features.
"Illegal hair dye?" Havoc muttered confusedly before sending a look once he heard his Tamer growling beside him.
"My hair..." Haruto looked downward, his fist shaking by his sides. "My hair is nOT DYED, DAMMIT. IT IS PURELY NATURAL PINK HAIR. YOU HEAR ME!" Havoc grunted as he used his two large ears-end extensions for hands to grab Haruto's legs and stop him from pouncing at the poor girl.
"Oh boy, she found the boy's trigger. Lucky us."

Nikumo almost groaned when Haruto brought up the FNAF game series. She did like the idea of the series of horror games... but god, the culture surrounding around it was a mess. It almost spoiled her enjoyment in ways. "Don't you say that shit Haruto. The only reason you like those game was because of the furry content the fanbase created for it." She'd half jokingly, half seriously say to her friend.
Berlamon couldn't help but wince at what the two humans were saying. SCP? Five Nights at Freddy's? Furry content? All of these were very foreign concepts to the former scholar... perhaps just further proof that humans were weird. "Furry content? Dare I ask what these strange words mean?"
"I'm furry though... and Berlamon in her Rookie form is pretty furry too, so it can't be THAT bad if we are lumped in it!" BlackKudamon would comment. She had fur... so she was furry in a way. That probably counted, right?
Nikumo sighed. Okay okay... this conversation was getting out of hand. "How bout we just stop and keep moving."
Just before they could go and try and figure out how they were going to get a train moving, a somewhat unfamiliar voice rang out from the underground. Nikumo and her partners jumped, they turning around to see... the girl from before?! Nikumo didn't even have much time to think before she realized what she had just said... pertaining to Haruto and pink dye. Without thinking, the girl grabbed onto his shirt, keeping him from rushing off recklessly. "Haruto NO!"
"Uh... bark?" BlackKudamon would then say, attempting to mimic the sound of some kind of human world animal... of course, her voice just made it sound like it was just a little girl playing pretend. Well... it WAS the effort that counted, right? "That's what foxes say... right? Or is it dogs?
Berlamon groaned, exasperated at how idiotic her sister was right now. To think they hatched out of the same egg... "You just HAD to say something... did you?" She'd angrily say, not even caring about their cover anymore... it was already ruined at this point.
Nikumo shook her head in irritation, making sure to keep an arm around Haruto and giving him a pat on the back. This... this was not something she planned on at any point or time. Why was that girl here?! This was supposed to be something they would do alone... but now both their cover and the Digimons' was blown. "Wh-what are you even doing here? I-I thought you were heading to like downtown Tokyo?" The girl would in a panic ask the girl. She... she had THOUGHT that it was just her and Haruto plus the mons! Guess that girl was very good at being quiet... that or they were just really bad at noticing people.

To Solace, what puzzled her the most wasn't the strange animals, nor the apparent hostility that Haruto displayed towards her, but... his statement. Wait, wait... his hair was natural pink? For a second, Solace stared at him with all the puzzlement that her thirteen-year old face could muster. Either the illegal dye had a substance that made your delirious, or this guy was the son of one of the TMNT. Probably Mickey; she could already see that they had a fair bit of similar aspects.
Maybe she should ask for an autograph? She was a big fan of the TMNT! She'd have preferred to meet Donnie's son, tho.Donatello was the bestest turtle ever! Maybe he knew his son too? She would have to ask that down the line.
"Oh, sorry for offending you, then." She said, a bit flustered at her previous hypothesis being proven wrong. "Why you were sneakily sneaking into this place, then? Sure you aren't hiding anything illegal?"
Maybe she was being a little too naive; maybe Haruto wasn't the son of a superhero, but of a supervillain! Like, the Joker or... Majin Boo! In that case, that wouldn't be good.
"And most importantly... what's hidden in there? You must be here for a reason, right? I don't think you're here to have a picnic or something of the like." What if... what if they were! "Oh wait. You're trafficking exotic animals, aren't you?! I'm sure that those talking plushy-like animals aren't from here."
And she was right. Oh, how damn right she was.

"You calm yet, you walking eyesore?" Havoc drawled with no real heat to it, still holding to his Tamer's legs even as Haruto seemed to have finally calmed down some from his strange outburst. "Yeah yeah, whatever. Get off me." Haruto grumbled stepped back and away from the girl and thus also unlatched himself from the death grip his Digimon and best friend had on him.
"Don't worry about it." He said briskly while shrugging one shoulder in indifference, then he realized with a sigh that he was still acting peeved on a mere 10ish year old girl. Could he be any more pathetic than that? "And no, we're not doing anything illegal." He wisely didn't mention that some people probably didn't knew about this place at all and thus could be considered that Nikumo and him were trespassing.
"Oh dammit..." Haruto shoot a look at Nikumo as the girl went off into another tangent, though it was scary how close she came to finding the real reason for their trip to this place. "What the hell shall we do? We cannot take her with us, and she also knows too much..." He whispered toward his best friend with a scowl, he did not want to bring this girl with them because as they freaked out before, Digimon were dangerous creatures and they could find many more once they took this train to the other side. Who knew what kind of trouble that girl could get into...
Then again, it was the same for them so maybe he should stop being such an hypocritical prick.
Havoc meanwhile hopped forward and stood across from the girl, staring up at her with a small smile. "Yo, the name's Havoc the Pagumon. I'm a Digimon, or Digital Monster. We're currently heading back to our world, the Digital World with this train to take us there. Wanna join us?"
In the background there was the sound of something solid hitting against a fleshy object. Haruto's palm met his forehead firmly as he groaned in dismay at his Digimon's antics. "God dammit, Havoc. Drop all the strange words on her right off the bat, will you?"

Well... least Haruto finally calmed down enough to not fling himself at the younger girl and pummel her. Nikumo released the pink-haired teen, she sighing some. No, they weren't doing anything illegal... truth said, she didn't know WHAT they were doing anymore. "I don't know man... I doubt hitching a ride on a living train to a dimension of talking death animals is even acknowledged by the government." She'd comment out of frustration and anxiety. God this was all too much stress for her. She just wanted to see what this Digital World was like... maybe find some people who were more intellectual about all this than them. Still, Haruto was right in that this was a problem... what WERE they going to do with the girl? "D-don't look at me... I don't know how to deal with people!"
BlackKudamon didn't really understand what the big fuss was all of a sudden... What was wrong with another human coming with them? Oh well... either way, she decided to say hi to the new girl with Havoc. "I don't got no name, but Nikky is thinking about it! She's kind of like my sis and I's mom now since she found our Digiegg! You should totally come with us! We're going to have so much fun in the Digital World once we get there!" The Virus attribute Digimon would cheerfully add on to what Havoc said, excited by the idea of another human tagging along with them! Maybe they will find their own Digimon? She would have loved to have more playmates! (Her sister wasn't a very nice playmate...) She'd approach the girl curiously
"Don't encourage her. She is NOT coming." Berlamon would sneer at Havoc and BlackKudamon, she not at all tolerating their behavior. The last thing they needed was some other brat coming along with them. Unless she also had Digimon, she was useless to them. Honestly, the quicker they got her away from them, the faster they'd be able to finally get on the Trailmon. "I honestly have no more patience for this. Let the girl ask any questions she wants. I'm an open book. But once that's done, we are going on a Trailmon and THAT is final." She'd aggressively offer. She was willing to sacrifice her pride if it meant this... girl would go away.
Nikumo sighed, she putting a hand on her forehead and shaking it dismissively. "I didn't ask for any of this." She'd groan before looking back to the girl. As much as she didn't want to really talk about the Digimon, she felt in her gut that they would not make any progress if just ignored her. "Well... I guess since we actually are talking now, might as well introduce myself. Name is Nikumo Takara, my normal life was ruined yesterday by these little guys. The Digimon I mean." She'd calmly say, then pointing at both Berlamon and BlackKudamon (who would wave hello to the girl.)

Solace was pretty sure... not, absolutely sure that what everyone was saying was of utmost importance to her; after all, they were talking about the state of affairs of an illegal train filled to the brim with illegal pink dye. Well, that was her last thought about it. A tentative explanation may have been uttered on her way, but if that was the case... she hadn't heard a word about it. Instead, all her attention was focused on the three cute beings that were just in front of her. One was round and had big hand-like ears, another was a bit like a fox, while the third... looked like a living tripod. The three of them were really cute! So cute, in fact, that the first thing that the girl did was to scoop the black pipe fox and the tripod and hug the two of them tightly in her arms. And by tightly, we are talking about crushing force that only girls in animes display when they hug things tightly. "You three are so cute! I wish I had a spare arm to hug Havoc-chan too!" The girl said, delight dripping from her tone. "I'll call you two... Valerie-chan and Yvonne-chan! Do you like your names?" Just enough attention was given towards the humans for the girl to cheerfully nod as she continued to smother hug the two digimons. "Pleased to meet you two, Haruto-chan, Nikumon-chan! My name's Solace!" Who would say that something that resembled stuffed animals that resembled plushies were the only thing needed to calm a little girl down. That must've some kind of rocket science.

"If those two see Nikumo as their Mother, or at least the newly christened Valerie seems to think so, does that mean that I'm your Father?" Haruto couldn't help but quip to his Digimon, soon enough earning a sneer in return for the lip. "Fuck no. At most I might consider you a brother or whatever, you have zero parenting skills and I'd probably die if I was a baby within the next two weeks."
"That hurt Havoc." To demonstrate the dramatic point the pink-haired male tapped at where his heart was under his chest. "Right here."
"You drama queen; stop your act and focus." Havoc drawled sardonically to hide the blush blossoming on his face, he didn't need a hug but he wouldn't be exactly opposed on getting one if asked under pressure.
"Right, right. Pleased to meet you, Solace-chan." Haruto waved kind off awkwardly as the situation seemed to still be derailing. "Alright, ask any question that you might need answered." Haruto waved a hand slightly imperiously at the girl. He hoped that these questions wouldn't take long, he was excited to finally explore this Digital World and see what made it tick and how different it was from their own.
