((Just giving you a heads up (though admittedly a pretty late one) I'm going on vacation from wednesday July 27 to Thursday August 4. I'll hopefully will be able to still post, but if I'm not, you now know why.))
"Okay I'll give it a try." Crystal said with a small nod. Taking in Sanoske's advice.
The Lopmon took a deep breath, and then took a step. She then made the illusion take. She took another step, and the illusion took another. She repeated this once again over and over, faster and faster, til she reached a point where they were practically walking in sync.
"How am I doing Sanoske?" She asked wanting some feedback.
Celeste gave a deep sigh. "So what I'm understanding here is that this Karen possesses the scanning equipment we need. However, because she lives in the human world, and you a have bad memories of that place, we're going to have to wait til I get my own body first. A task that could end up taking Yggdrasil knows long to complete. All the while my brother's and that terriermon's conditions could end up becoming worse and worse."
There was a brief pause from the Hylden. Debating what exactly she should make of this whole thing. Once she came to a decision, she gave Cuttah some warning before taking over her body.
"Very well then. I'll work with her for now. But understand that this is just because she comes highly recommended, and may prove to be my first chance to work on some super science with a being from another world."
"That's good to hear Celeste. She's actually not half bad a mechanic and scientist. I'm sure you two will be able to figure something out." Mel said as he finally seemed to recover from Cuttah's sonic scream. And with only one burst ear drum too.

Sanoske offered a resounding growl. Alas, with her eye closed, Crystal would not see his smile.
^Excellent, Crystal! You are getting the hang of it! Remember that feeling and you can do it!
As for knowing what your illusion is seeing... it is like remembering something you never knew. You do have some extra sensory capabilities that could help you.
Another test. Using your copy, can you see how many fingers I am holding up?^
Sanoske held up his hand and alternated between one, two, and three claws held up.
---
"Not 'half bad' is putting it mildly." Lezard said in reply. She was indeed highly skilled... he'd go as far as to say he was an idiot compared to her. Well, if he had less ego, that is. "Anyway, it shouldn't be too long before you get your own body again. It was started on before the bulk of us were called over to help with the portal machine."
Meanwhile, after having her body taken over, Cuttah apologized. "I'm sorry. If I went I'd only slow everyone down. Plus I wouldn't really know my way around as I spent a lot of my time in the human world stuck in a room. Or a closet. Or in a bag. Or under the bed."

This was a test that Crystal wasn't so sure she could. She heard what Sanoske had told her of course, but wasn't quite sure how to put it to practice. Yet, despite that, she decided to try to put it to practice anyways.
Taking a deep breath, the Lopmon began to concentrate as much as she could on what her illusion was seeing. Trying to follow Sanoske's advice of remembering something she never knew. Nothing was coming to her though. Was she just thinking about this all wrong?
She continued trying the best she could to see what her illusion was seeing. Trying her hardest just to get a faint glimmer of an image. Something she could use. Anything. That was when a thought occured to her. And with a little bit of concentration, she opened the illusions eyes.
Crystal mentally facepalmed when the image began to come in. Of course her illusion would of had it's eyes shut as well. With that duh moment out of the way, she turned the illusion towards Sanoske. The image wasn't as clear as she had hoped, but it was at least enough for her to recount the number of fingers her boyfriend held up back to him.
"It's okay Cuttah. I understand." Celeste told her host out loud, "It's just annoying that we're going to have to head to another world so soon after I managed to get to this one. I just hope my new body proves to be similar to my old one."
"I'm sorry sis, but I wouldn't count on it. Tab never actually consulted me on what your body should look like. So either he has no choice in the manner of what body you get, he didn't think about consulting me, or picking the shape and size of the body happens pretty late in the development." Mel mentioned with a shrug.
Celeste sighed. "So I'm guessing that that's going to be something were not going to find out til later either. Just perfect. Let's just hope that I have hands. I truly enjoy having hands for they allow me to do a large amount of extremity can do." She then turned towards Mel menacingly, "If I don't have hands, then you better build me robotic ones."

^Well, you are indeed getting the hang of things. Just keep in mind that if what your copy is looking at is something you can not quite explain or understand, you will have a harder time getting a mental image.
I should also tell you that you might be able to outright order your illusion around in the future. I do not suspect that you should worry about creating a fully sentient illusion like myself or possibly Ghost. It really depends on the user. As good with illusions I can be, my skills lie in complexity and control of said illusions, not autonomy.^
The large Gazimon walked behind Crystal before slowly placing his arms on the ground around her, almost as if he was about to hug her from behind. However, he merely nuzzled her, opting to not smother his girlfriend.
^We can stop now, if you want.^ -------
Lezard spoke up pertaining to the topic at hand.
"After making a portal to another dimension and going to use a device that can examine Mel and Pure, making a robotic arm is child's play. Even Karen has worked on some cybernetic prosthetics."
With that out the way, Lezard went in thought for a few moments, thinking about what the new body may be.
"I don't know the particulars of Tab's body making abilities. All I know for certain that he himself is stuck in an imperfect copy of his old body, but that was due to him, and his life, being interrupted. But he assures that he can make a fully functional body for you Celeste."

"No no. I can still continue." Crystal said, reaching her arms up to caress Sanoske's maw after he nuzzled her. "Unless you think we should? In which case..."
The illusionary Lopmon then began to move towards the back of Sanoske in an attempt to climb onto him. It's movements proving to be pretty rough, but at least better then before. It also appeared to know where exactly it is going.
"Is that so?" Celeste said as she thoughtfully massaged her (Cuttah's) chin, "Well I guess it's to be expected that his first attempt at this project proved to be a failure. I know I wasn't fully successful at creating shells like that despite multiple attempts. Then again I was working in a location where making such a thing proved much more difficult then it normally would."
Celeste started pacing around the room now. Barely able to contain her excitement as she gave the subject more thought.
"You know what? We should prepare for what ever body that I might receive. How about we draw up some plans for these cybernetic arms? And how about we make some for cybernetic legs too? Actually slash that. We should build a whole suit. One that I could fit in no matter what I size I become. Yet how exactly should we go about doing that. Hmm..."
Celeste was now tracing invisible outlines of her new 'suit' in the air with her hands. Much to Mel's discontent.
"Uhh... Celeste? You know how difficult it is to build one of those, correct? Much less how much more difficult it will be to get all the parts we need to build anything functioning."
Yet Celeste wasn't listening. Instead she was listing off the features her suit should have. Including, but not limited to...
"... A death laser. Can never go wrong with a death laser. And how about a death cannon. It'd work well with the death by chocolate blaster..." Along with numerous other add-ons that apparently have the word 'Death' somewhere in the title.

Sanoske chuckled as notCrystal began climbing up his side.
^You are practically a natural, honey. I think with a bit more practice you will be perfect at it.
Do try to be nice to Pure, though. I know you have considered some additional... messing around with your brother, heh heh. ^ ------------
Lezard was mildly curious over this "shell" thing Celeste spoke about. Mentally he weighed whether or not he would ask right now. However, the Hylden occupying Cuttah's body was becoming a bit maniacal with various Death-annotated attachments to her hypothetical mechanical body.
"Something tells me Tab is going to enjoy your company. However, please do not get carried away. As said, we don't know what kind of body you'll get. So... at the very least save the planning for until after we get you out of Cuttah's body.
And then we can... uh... I guess deal with your Death Cannon and whatnot."
Cuttah seemed to not mind. As long as Celeste was out of her body she could make all the Death Pancake Blasters she wanted.

Crystal looked at Sanoske with a look of confusion. Which then turned into a look of contemplation. Which then turned into a wide smirk plastered right on her face.
"Of course Sanoske. I will never do anything like that to mess with my brother." She said, trying her best to look completely innocent, "So... Can I open my eyes? It's very weird looking at your back fur while knowing I'm right in front of you."
"Huh?" Celeste seemed to have finally left her train of thought as she looked over at Lezard. Or, at very least, had stop listing her 'death-' contraptions. "Oh yeah... Probably best to wait to see what type of body I'll have before we start designing my limb enhancers of death."
Mel facepalmed at this point.
"Regardless this has given us a lot to think about. When are we planning to meet with this Tab person again? I'd like to know who exactly is creating my new body for me. See how everything is coming along."

^Right^ Was Sanoske's response to Crystal's claim to never mess with Pure like that. A response with a hint of an incredulous tone as if to say "Sure you won't". Sanoske realized he might have given her ideas... but this was Crystal. If he didn't say anything, she would have figured out some prank anyway.
^And you can open your eyes now. Although you do look cute trying to look innocent. It is endearing.^ ---------
Lezard gave off a slight sigh before answering Celeste.
"Right when you shown signs of awakening Cuttah's brother went off to fetch him. Tab can be preoccupied at times with other things and he had decided not to say here with us. However, we know he's... around, and allegedly not hard to pick up again, especially with Rippah on the case.
So I'd have to estimate... now?"
Lezard seemed to be looking off in the distance, seeing something flicker in an out, getting closer. Quickly he managed to make out the shape... WeskerGarurumon using his Flash Step to quickly move towards them.
He finally got to the others, and off his back emerged another... a familiar red, gooey digimon that hopped off just as Rippah reverted to his Armor Champion form, looking a bit winded.
Tab posed, arms raised as to signal a grand entrance. However, he said nothing.
"Was I *HURRRAAAAP* long? I was running this whole time...*burrp*"
"No problem. In fact, your timing is impeccable. Anyway, Celeste, this goo creature is Tab. He's making your body."

A sigh of relief could be heard from the Lopmon as she opened her eyes. Her doppleganger soon taking the hint and disappearing itself. Crystal then looked up to give Sanoske a big grin on her face.
"So then. I do believe that..." She stopped herself before finishing when she noticed that someone was fast approaching. Turning her head in that direction with a curious sound leaving her mouth, she saw who exactly it was that had arrived.
"It seems Rippah and Tab have finally returned. Should we go over and say hi?"
Celeste's eyes seem to just gaze at Tab silently for awhile there. Almost as if she was analyzing and studying him. When she did finally speak, she said, "So your the one whose constructing my body then? It's nice to meet you. I'm, as your probably well aware, Celeste. I look forward to working with you in the near future."
She then extended a hand towards the goo creature. Her words both having a layer of respect to them and betrayed the high hopes she had for the scientist.
Her eyes then glanced over at the one who Tab had came with. Rippah."You look familiar, but I'm not sure why?" She mentioned as she began to dig in her mind in order to figure out why he felt so familiar. Despite the fact that the answer was staring just about everyone else in the face.
Mel took this opportunity to step up towards their new arrival.
"So would I be correct in assuming that everything is proceding as plan? That there has been no major hiccups when it came to my sister's new body?"

Sanoske looked around when Crystal seemed to have noticed something. Thankfully, it was merely Rippah and Tab returning. Apparently they got to the others first.
Garrooohh, ^Good ear. Yes, let us join back up with them.^
The large Gazimon got back up onto his four limbs, creating the usual illusionary staircase to allow Crystal onto his back before heading off. ----
Tab shook CelesteCuttah's hand, smiling. His hand remained firm, not leaving any film on her hand of any kind. Meanwhile, Lezard quickly picked up on something.
"Tab...don't you have a..."
Using charades, the Liquidramon began to perform a few motions.
Mouthing off as if he was some speaker, and then smashing something in his hand and letting the broken pieces fall to the grounds.
"That is quite unfortunate, although I do not imagine that would be much of an issue.
Oh... Tab here cannot speak naturally. He requires some sort of speaker to speak through."
Giving a nod, Tab went to Rippah and reached into his pouch. Deep and deeper he went... before pulling out a red goo covered Digi-Egg. The egg itself had none of the usual markings of a Digi-egg. In fact it looked more like a normal chicken egg.
Tab then pointed to Celeste, and then to the egg before giving a thumbs up. The egg seemed to be ready. Next he tapped his wrist, denoting a watch, and then held out a thumb and finger, like a clock, before moving only his finger in a short arc, seemingly denoting 15 minutes.

"Hehe. Come on Sanoske. You should know by now my ears are more then just good." Crystal bragged with a lighthearted chuckle as she climbed onto Sanoske's back. Trying to hone her senses in that direction to tell what was going on while they head in that direction.
Celeste and Mel both gave Tab strange looks when the Liquidramon began to pantomime. Their heads slightly turning at the same time towards Rippah when he explained the situation. Celeste gave a small nod upon hearing as she returned her focus back on Tab. Mel on the other hand...
"Is that suppose to be Celeste's egg? That doesn't look quite as I imagined it. Though why is it out here? Don't you need more time on it?"
... didn't seem to quite get what Tab was saying. At least not until his sister basically spelled it out for him.
"So my egg will be ready in fifteen minutes? That's... Fast. I was under the impression I'd be stuck in Cutey's body here for, at least, a few days. A couple of weeks even. Not at all fifteen minutes." Celeste seemed quite honestly shock by this turn of events. Yet also didn't seem as happy one would expect. Though perhaps for a reason that no one else would fully understand as she added, "Now I won't have the to properly prepare to design my death muffins robo suit."

Tab scratched his head, and then shook it. Lezard rubbed his chin a bit before looking towards Celeste.
"Well, it takes a while to get used to his charades. Anyway, he wasn't saying the egg will be ready in 15 minutes. The egg is ready now. You'll be in it for 15 minutes."
Tab nodded before Lezard continued.
"We've prepared extensively for your rescue, Celeste. Tab has had quite a bit of time preparing the egg for you, even before we've started working on a machine that went into the Hylden area.
I'm going to assume, now, that you have to actually get into the egg."
Tab affirmed with another nod, handing the gooey egg over to her. Once he id so, he made a few more motions, but Lezard interrupted him.
"No, Tab, now's not the time to discuss what she meant by a death muffin robo suit." ---- With Crystal in tow, Sanoske walked on to meet the others. However, he had something on his mind.
^Hey, Crystal... have you ever been to the 'human world' before?^

Crystal seemed to be caught off guard by the question Sanoske asked her. Thinking for a moment, the Lopmon answered, "Well... Kindof sort of... It was only once. And only very briefly. Not long enough to count for having any real experience in a place. Why do you ask?"
"I'm going to be in that in less then fifteen minutes. That's even less time then I thought." Celeste stated as she stroked Cuttah's chin, "I suppose that means we should be getting everything ready. Fifteen minutes isn't all that much time. Not when science is involved. Now then everyone. To whatever transference machine you have all built to place me in a body that..." She quickly stopped what she was about to say. Instead she decided to say, "...a body that isn't currently occupied. Yeah. That works."
The excitable hylden then took off towards wherever she believed was where they kept all the equipment. At least until Mel stopped her in order to show her the right way she needs to go.

With an affirmative nod, Sanoske shown that he understood what Crystal meant before offering a reply.
^I am just curious. I honest never met any humans before I had met you... I still have not met many humans since then. And I can not travel to the human world.
But I know they are a big deal for some. Just wondered if you had any experience with them. But I will not worry about them.^ ---- Tab grinned a bit at Celeste's amazement at how little time she would spend in the egg. 15 minutes was his own estimate, however, but this ability was, long ago, used to relatively quickly return from a "death" with little down time. You can't be a warlord and be absent for long periods of time.
However, talk of the transference machine confused him, having assumed that she, as a hylden, would have been able to simply jump in the egg. A quick glance at Lezard told him, however, it would be alright, since they already had the appropriate device.
He also really needed to get a good set of speakers.
Sanoske would eventually see Celeste, holding some gooey egg. He figured it was Celeste due to, well... Cuttah not being the most excitable. No... it would be better to say her being excitable was generally for more negative emotions. The others would come to follow.
"Everyone's heading back to the warehouse. It's time see see what sort of new body Celeste will receive."

"Not really unfortunately. I met a few humans here and there. But I never felt like they were all that special compared to us. In fact they seem pretty much like us really. Except that most don't have the power we have."
Crystal gave Sanoske as she continued to ride on top of his back. Watching the group as they headed into the other room.
"Why are they going where the portal and other stuff is at? Shouldn't Celeste just be able to jump into the egg?"
Mel paused as he overheard what the lopmon just asked. The hylden controlled terriermon facepalming as he realized how easily he was effected by his sister's excitement. With a sigh, he looked up at Celeste, and pointed out.
"Hey Celeste. You remember that we are Hylden correct? We don't need any transference machine to take control of a body."
Celeste then stopped in her tracks as she looked over at her brother with a curious look. "Yeah I know, but I wasn't aware if it would work with an egg like this. I guess I could give it a try." She then looks at the egg she had in hand for a few motions as she gave it some thought. "Let's try this in the... Warehouse I guess what they called it. That way if something bad happens, we can quickly do something about it."
With that she continued onward into the warehouse. Looking happily at the collection of scientific devices that were in there. "Ohh... This is gonna be fun." She then placed the egg on someplace that looked relatively safe for the egg to be. "Well here I go. It's been fun Cutey, but I think it's time we go our seperate ways." The hylden then took a deep breath before exiting Cuttah's body and quickly entering the egg. Only time would tell if she was able to successfully take over the body inside the egg.
((Sorry about the wait. College has been time consuming. Hopefully I'll start posting at regular interval once things settle down.))
