Haru As soon as the trio boarded Ilbert, another message promptly reached her D-Terminal.
Ilbert has instructions on where to go. But to make it short; you'll pretty much escort our main cargo ship from a non suspicious distance. I have reasons to believe that the main sabotage force will target Ilbert, so be aware. But in case that proves to be false, Ilbert has instructions to go full speed on the Trailmon's aid. Be observant and aware, because we don't really know when the action will happen. Just that it's bound to happen eventually. Nothing else to say for now. Have fun.
Without further ado, the GranLocomon's engines began to rev up. They'd begin their journey at any moment. Kat, Owen & Timmy "Welcome aboard! My name's Tapirmon and I'm very pleased to meet you all! I'm the engineer here." With a quick gesture, a small Monmon came into sight from one of the wagons behind. "And she's Monmon. She's in charge of the shipments security! You'll be working with her."
The green monkey-like digimon seemed to be a bit timid, as she waved somewhat shyly "H-hi. Pleased to meet you." As she said those words, the train slowly began to set in motion. "Do you know what to do, right? We were told the help we were about to receive was pretty amazing! The rest of the crew's already on the rear cars, but I'm sure you'll like them all."

"How is it?" Kon-chan asked to Koharu. Meanwhile, Warg seem to be looking a bit miffed. Koharu who understood her partners could guessed why. The question asked by Kon-chan is not exactly asking what Yuu are saying. She's asking what she thought about the team. Koharu clicked a button that called Ilbert's monitoring function. Too bad that she can't really spy what they're saying when they're inside the Trailmon. Her hearing is not sharp enough for it. Ryouta meanwhile would picked this up much easier.
...If only she could heard the conversation, she's so going to facepalm hard.
"...I have no idea how serious they are," Koharu muttered. "...But 2 set among 3 is troublesome. One girl panicked too much, she's blind on the fact that this mission can be really dangerous. Yuu won't send people in like that so I think the girl is tricked by her partner."
"She sounds like she swallow everything her partner told her," Warg commented. Hearing this, Koharu sat on one of the chair and sipped the served lemonade. "They need to learn more about common sense of Digital World, both of them," Warg continued.
"...To begin with it's a stupid move to out loud say whether someone is safe or dangerous out loud," Kon-chan criticized. "Especially if someone is on the higher level from you. The first bird failed the check about common sense, but the second one just made it more awkward. Not only that they forgot faces easily. Minus point."
"What about the Gao?" Koharu asked.
"Safe. For now."
Both partner sat on their respective chair. "...So, let's have a bet," suddenly Kon-chan proposed. "...Will they attack the main train first... or Ilbert first?"
"I'll say main train," Warg answered. Kon-chan made a 'tsk' sound with her tongue. Apparently she was in the same camp.
"You guys are unbelievably cruel," Koharu muttered, chuckling. Still, she can't shake something off. A certain feeling of dread. She quickly typed a reply to Yuu
Subject: I need a quick favor
From: Haruchin <Nakano Koharu> To: Yuu-Hime(lol) <Tsumura Yuu>
A bit urgent but can you send me copy of the contract? Or this mission is without contract? Tell me too about what should I do in drastic situation other than escorting the train and interfere. Honestly, I hope my gut feeling is wrong. You know I'm not someone who usually THIS bothered.

Owen's ears twitched a little as he heard the conversation about dark digimon. Indeed, some 'dark' digimon seemed to be predisposed toward chaos and violence, but there were plenty of exceptions. For instance, an Impmon he met once in a pub seemed less concerned about destroying the world and more about trying to get him to cuddle him. And so Owen decided to judge other digimon once he knew them, not upon seeing them for the first time.
Fortunately that all seemed to be dealt with once Katsura cleared things up. Then once they were on board, Timothy declared that he would be riding on top of it. That made Owen a little concerned.
"Er, not to put a spanner in your works, but, won't that be kind of extremely dangerous?" he asked, thinking that riding upon a train carriage roof would be a very unwise thing.
Owen then paid attention to the Tapirmon and the accompanying Monmon. He gave a little wave of acknowledgement once they introduced themselves. "Heya, I'm Owen" he said.
Then Tapirmon asked if they knew what they were meant to be doing. "Yep, just gotta make sure all this lemonade arrives at its destination - the warehouse on the Network Plains" the Gaomon answered.
Somehow, Owen seemed to have lost track of the new arrivals. He wondered if they would be involved in this mission. Well, the Gaomon was pretty set for his objectives. Make sure the lemonade arrived in a timely fashion.

Yuu: I have decided that the NPC fight with Allomon happen before the lemonade mission
The first thing that Katsura saw after carrying Nyao inside the Railmon was a Tapirmon greeting them, Katsura continued being happy and friendly on the outside, her thoughts however not so much. (Great, another one of those. It better not be the same one). Determined not to reveal her current state of emotion, she remained the same hiding them behind a warm smile. "It's so nice to meet you both, I'm Ise Katsura and this is my partner Nyao" To further ensure that it was not revealed to anyone, Katsura decided to turn to Monmon in order to return his greeting with a bow. "We are to protect lemonade from a mouse and a turd, right?" Katsura looked downwards as she turned to Nyao. "I guess that's one way to put it sigh. Remind me to work on your formulation skills when this is over" Which much apparent happiness Katsura answered like an overly excited schoolgirl. "Okay!" Katsura completed the act by giggling, which caused Nyao to sigh deeply. "That too" Nyao said, after being exasperated over seeing Katsura still struggling to appear like a normal person in public and motioned for Katsura to get going before things turned too awkward for all of them.
When they came into the part of the train where they were supposed to be they rejoined with Timothy, who wanted to stay guard on top on the train with his bird digimon. Not only did Owen call them out on suggesting something dangerous, but Katsura too had her own concern given that she had known Timothy for a while.
Katsura whispered to Timothy in a voice low enough that neither Bibi or Faluo should be able to hear her. (Are you sure they won't start arguing?)

Timothy waved to the Tapirmon and Monmon, "Hello! Alright, so we don't know how to fix an outta control Trainmon if that every becomes a problem, hopefully not. However, we do know how to defend you guys, by which, I mean we can hopefully destroy anything that attacks us!" He said this so joyfully, it was almost impossible to deny him the right to declare that. Faluo gave him a look that screamed, 'we're doomed just because you said that.' Bibi waved to them all and said, "We're off to above the train!" With that, the two birds went over to the ladder to get ready to climb, out of Katsura's quiet noise range.
Timothy shrugged to Owen, "Oh yeah, it's dangerous, DEFINITELY dangerous, but so long as we're careful and we don't get shaken up too much, we'll be fine, and besides, I'm the only one in real danger, they're birds!" The two birds gave Timothy a nod while waiting.
After Katsura whispered her concerns to Timothy, he gave his silent reply back. (Yeah... It's the only thing I'm really worried about... Hopefully they can keep themselves calm for this trip.)

Haru "Yuu? You have a message from Koharu... again? Want me to read it?" At this point, the blonde had pretty much given up on understanding what this was about. Was the mission that difficult? Or maybe Koharu needed extra help to figure it out? Or maybe she'd ask about the weather. In any case, she'd be fine with either. ["Sure, go ahead."]
"She's asking for... a contract of sorts? Something about on what to do in case of an emergency." Weird. Haru wasn't one to ask for that kind of stuff; this was undoubted... different. ["Write exactly what I'm about to say. "There's no contract; we're just transporting lemonade, you know? And if something happens, just trust your gut; I think that'll probably be better than some vague suggestion. I fully trust you the safety of these guys." That should be enough, I think."]
"Done." Kat, Owen & Timmy Tapirmon seemed to be excited by the entourage gathered; each one seemed to have so much energy! "Very well, it seems that you guys know your stuff. I'll go back to my duties; we'll begin our journey really soon! You should go with Monmon, though. She'll be in charge showing you the way around this place."
Said and done, the monkey digimon gestured at them to follow "Y-yes. Follow me, please." She began to walk towards the rear cars. Once on the entrance of the sixth, she pointed to the pile of boxes pretty much occupying the entirety of it. "T-the sixth, seventh and eighth cars are all filled with lemonade crates. M-make sure that at least one of you is paying attention to one of them at all times. A-alright?"
As she asked that question, the train began to move. It seemed that their trip would finally begin!

"...Eeeh..." Koharu looked at her D-Terminal with intense amount of disappointment.
"...Gut feeling, huh? Aren't you pro at that?" Kon-chan remarked, chuckling. "That's so Yuu though."
"But this means he almost takes this sort of job like a grandpa asking someone from the neighborhood to mow his lawn..." Koharu lamented
"More like the feeling of asking a kid to send your husband's forgotten lunchbox to his workplace, but you kinda worried of their safety so you asked your own daughter to check if everything gone smoothly." Warg commented, to which Kon-chan hit him with harisen for while muttering "Idiots".
"Is this job supposed to be that easy-ish?" she muttered. Yet at the same time why she felt she's already dreading the outcome? Oh well, she's supposed to be an escort, right? Very well.
"Miss Koharu, the Trailmon began to move."
...Already, huh... Very well. She sat on the chair once more, looking at the monitor display. Silently, she prayed for the safety of everyone involved.

"Not just a mouse and a turd, but all other kinds of hazards" Owen felt the need to pipe up toward Katsura. He hoped they wouldn't be caught up with stuff like that, being on the lookout for a Sukamon and a Chuumon while a Minotaurmon ripped the train apart.
Owen blinked a little at their exchange, but chose not to draw attention to it. Instead he looked toward Timothy again. "Alright... just as long as you don't destroy anything that doesn't want to destroy us". Un-needed fire could complicate and possibly ruin any operation.
Owen didn't feel much from Timothy's bravado. "Yeah, and if the opposition against us has any Flak weaponry they'll be birds that'll be knocked out" he said. "Remember, this is a train, our path is predetermined and obvious. The enemy could use that against us".
While the Gaomon wasn't normally this serious, somehow the importance of this wasn't lost on him, especially when he had lots of doubts that his fellow employees could detect the same things as he could.
He paid attention to the Tapirmon again. They then said they should pay attention to the Monmon, who then instructed them to pay attention to the 6th, 7th and 8th carriages, which all carried lemonade.
Owen then immediately figured out which one he should look after. "I think I'll take the 7th" he said. "I'd be able to quickly come to the aid of the other two if I hear something odd. Is that okay with you guys?" he asked Katsura and Timothy. Even if they were being provided with distant escort by Koharu and her Mega level partners, he wanted to be able to quickly respond to any threat. And the Gaomon could quickly evolve and rush to whatever carriage may be imperiled - and also be in visual range of what was happening in the other carriages through the glass doors.

Owen was quick to point out that a turd and a mouse were not the only thing they would have to protect against which gave Katsura a small panic attack, fortunately Nyao was used to having to comfort Katsura quickly. Truth to be told, Katsura did indeed know the mission was dangerous, in fact she was in the opposite extreme believing that if it wasn't for Nyao's protection she would die at the hands of a turd.
The idea of Faluo and Bibi working together without fighting was so alien to Katsura that she just sent Timothy a look that all but said (in a snarky way): Really?
Katsura followed after Monmon until the rear carts where she saw a pile of boxes full of lemonade, according to Monmon there were 3 carts filled with lemonade. "That's a lot of lemonade, couldn't we just transfer lemons or something?" Katsura asked Monmon, the idea of transporting lemonade was still something she'd have to get used to. At that point Owen volunteered to guard the the 7th cart, a decision that she was fine with. "Fine, I take the 6th one then"
Katsura herself wanted to be able quickly flee back into the train so picking the one closest to Railmon seemed like the obvious choice. It did help Katsura to know that last time Nyao digivolved into BlackGatomon it turned out that Nyao is actually rather competent in a fight. If anything should happen, she got a feeling that her tag that marked her digimental as the crest of Loyalty would protect her. Katsura understood that every time the bond with Nyao had tightened, her digidevice had glowed, recently her tag had glowed as well.

Timothy gave Owen a shrug, he knew it would take more than flak weapons to take down Bibi and Faluo, besides, they had grown increasingly powerful recently, "Neither of you need to worry. I'll be careful." With that, he climbed up and out of the train car with Bibi and Faluo. He went down to the last train car and got ready, kneeling down to keep himself to the ground. Bibi and Faluo hung onto him for now.

Haru So, how's the chaperone life going? Having fun?
"Oh man. Kon-chan's going to SO have your head after this. I can already imagine Warg being the first victim, though. Probably death due to laughter." Kat, Owen & Timmy A-Alright, guys. I trust you to keep the cars safe. I-If you need anything, just ask. In all honesty, the question Katsura asked had surprised her a bit. But... "I really d-don't know how those transporting devices work. I-I was just got asked for work, and that's we're paid to do, r-right? If there was an e-easier workaround, I doubt on it not getting employed. O-Oh well, see you around." The train began to pick up pace, roughly two hours of travel being relatively uneventful. Some distance away from the entrance of the Digital Core however, some broken tracks could be seen. Sluggishly, the train's speed began to drop.
"To all the passengers." Tapirmon informed from the locomotive. "We'll stop for a second. Seems like some tracks have been broken and need to be fixed. Hopefully it won't be for long."
It was probably a good moment to be alert. What could've broken train tracks, of all things? Even if this had the chance of being an unfortunate event... that probably was unlikely.

Chaperoning? Really, Yuu? I felt like babysitting instead (lololol) ( ´∀`) I think there are fine line between two of them, but eh, I guess I'm just a biiit tense... Funnily, I'm not tense about the sabotaging. I'm more tense about how these guys deals with it. The doggo's OK. Honestly I want to rub his stomach. Can I rub Kyo-chan's tummy after this? I'm somehow a bit tempted... (・∀・)
Oh, Kon-chan said "No comment for now." Warg said "It's fine so far, I'd like to drink, but I'm on job. Say hi to Kyo for me."
Two hours in, nothing too eventful. Koharu just keep watching the screen while at times sending message to Yuu.
Whatever you have in your mind, I hope it's something worthwhile, otherwise Kon-chan gonna explode... But looking at her thinking 'this is already a waste of time' is honestly amusing. I bet you won't get same treatment from Ryo (・∀・)He would probably sleeping from boredom. Kon-chan currently pacing back and forth... Warg is---Pfft, sorry, do you want me to show you vid of him singing and dancing? It's quite hilarious 。゚(TヮT)゚。
Of course it's just a joke, but the first one is accurate. Warg, meanwhile just singing while dancing, treating the bar compartment as karaoke.
Still, the moment the train stopped, Koharu's focus now seized by thoughts of possible scenario for the next event. Whatever happened, she hoped that the employees won't get out of the train without considering the risks
...Now, what would Ilbert do? Generally the logical choice is to go forward, otherwise this would be very suspicious.
I think the railway is sabotaged. We're nearing the Digital Core. Will report to you more after this. ヾ(・ω・o)

Owen was a little confused by Katsura suggesting they carry lemons instead of lemonade. Wouldn't that involve carrying more lemons? Well, he could tell she seemed a little uncomfortable with the revelation that there were more enemies out there than the rat and the poop she was thinking of, so he didn't point that out to her just now.
So Katsura would take the 6th carriage, so that left Timothy and his partners with the 8th. Okay, that was fair enough. And so Owen took his place in the 7th carriage, the Gaomon sitting on top of a Lemonade crate and making sure to keep watch out of either window as the Trailmon headed North toward the Network Plains.
Owen was content for a couple of hours, until the Trailmon seemed to come to a halt. Surprised, Owen looked outside to see what the matter was. There was nothing visible outside the windows, so he considered contacting Monmon and Tapirmon to ask what the holdup was. But Tapirmon answered quickly that the tracks ahead had been broken and needed fixing.
'Uh oh, this doesn't look good' Owen thought. If the train was stopped, there would be a strong chance that this could be an ambush. After all, a Trailmon could only be vulnerable to attack if it was stopped, otherwise it could simply escaped. At least that's how the Gaomon's thought worked.
"Okay, Tapirmon, do you know how long the repairs will take?" Owen asked, using the intercom to communicate to the Tapirmon. If it only took a few minutes, then great. If it took longer, then this might be troublesome.
For now, Owen intended to stay in his carriage and guard the cargo. That was his job after all. However, the others had advantages that he didn't. While he was his own digimon, Timothy and Katsura had partners.
So Owen walked over to the rear of his carriage and opened the door, speaking to Timothy who was on the roof.
"Hey Timothy! Can your partners keep a lookout and let us know if anyone is approaching?!" he called to them.
Then when he was assured of a response, Owen would then cross the carriage and peer into the 6th. "Heya, is everything alright in here?" he asked Katsura and Nyao. "Hopefully this won't take too long".
After the communication was made, Owen kept to his own carriage, looking through the windows for any approaching danger.

With everyone else out on their respective carriages and places, Katsura was left behind with Nyao. It didn't bother her much especially since this sorting was self-imposed. Katsura realized that it has been a while since she last wrote in her diary and now that nothing was happening and she was alone, it was the perfect opportunity to catch up and so she spent the hours writing.
Then disaster happen, the railmon slowed down and Tapirmon announced that the tracks were broken, and more likely sabotaged. "WHAT!?" Katsura screamed fearfully, not even needing to use the intercom for her voice to be heard. In fact, Koharu would be able to hear Katsura's 'what' all the way inside Ilbert.
Then the door to her carriage opened and in came Owen to check on them. In his quickness he had caught Katsura in catatonic state having just experienced yet another panic attack, this time much more severe.
"I'm fine!" Katsura claimed in a discorded voice with a happy smile painted on her face, the stark contrast between Katsura's intended facial expression and her actual emotion made her quite terrifying to look at. Once Owen left it was Nyao's time.
"Katsura, you're not fine. Please don't do this to yourself." "I can't do this, I can't do this..." Katsura muttered repeatedly while curling into a ball. "Katsura! (huh?) Stop doing this, you're perfect the way you are. I know you can." While 'perfect' was a bit extreme this was how Nyao saw Katsura. It was heartwarming maybe a bit concerning but in Nyao's mind it was the truth. Nyao really did look up to Katsura to such an extreme, the revelation did had a positive effect, however. It helped Katsura snap out of her panic attack to be informed how much Nyao had faith in her.
"You're not going to bail on me?" Katsura calmed down and kneeled before Nyao, then as she saw the devotion in Nyao's eyes she was more or less forced to be happy. She sent Nyao a true sincere smile, probably the first time Katsura had ever done a true warm friendly smile.
"Not this time Nyao" Like a magic spell, that exact sentence made a beam of light shoot out from Katsura's Digi-Device the light flew straight into Katsura's tag with the Crest of Loyalty and the beam magnified as it hit Nyao and induced her with enormous amounts of energy. Quickly Nyao was completely enveloped in light much to Katsura's surprise.
"Salamon warp-digivolve to... Ladydevimon!" As the light ceased, a Ladydevimon stepped out full of excitement to show herself to Katsura. "Nyao, is that you?" "No I'm Santa, of course it's me! You like it?" Rather than giving a verbal answer, Katsura glomped Nyao. Now that Nyao was a head taller and humanoid it looked so natural and right. Nyao returned this warm hug and after letting go of Katsura she said full of spirit. "Now are we doing this or are we doing this?" With a little derpy smile, Katsura replied.
"Just don't expect me to carry you when you're this big." Nyao made a coy smile obviously getting the joke, then she rubbed Katsura's hair playfully. To answer the literal meaning, Nyao then grabbed Katsura, placed her on her shoulder and flew out of the carriage at a speed never seen before by a Ladydevimon. Once outside Nyao gently placed Katsura just outside the carriage.
With a burning passion to show off her new powers to Katsura, Nyao flew up on top of their carriage and sent Bibi and Falou a knowing look to reassure them she's an ally and a friend.

Timothy sat down on top of the train as they traveled. He held out his analogue camera taking pictures of anything cool they passed in the distance. Bibi and Faluo were about to start arguing, at least a dozen times. Timothy stopped them every time with a glare. So what they did instead of argue was patrol the car, pretending to be serious.
The train soon came to a stop at the bridge, the next thing that could be heard was what Timothy was now considering: 'The Scream of Legends.' He jumped to his feet as Bibi and Faluo both just made it to the top of the train car. He raised his left arm as Bibi and Faluo glowed with light.
"Biyomon! Digivolve to Aquilamon!" A large bird flew up into the air, flapping her mighty wings. Aquilamon was here.
"Falcomon! Digivolve to Peckmon!" An Ostrich appeared right in front of Timothy, he got into a ready stance. Peckmon was ready as well.
The pair jumped over to Katsura's car right as LadyDevimon appeared out of it. This made them worry even more, that was. Until they saw Katsura on it's shoulder and it nodding to them. The pair nodded back and went back to Timothy, "It was a false alarm, Nyao digivolved though."
Timothy nodded, "That makes things even easier. Can't wait to see how this turns out now." He still hadn't actually gotten many chances to show off his ultimates.
Timothy raised his Digivice once more and said, "Should we one-up them or stay in this form for now?"
The pair shrugged and Timothy lowered his Digivice, "We'll leave them up to surprise then."
By now, Owen had now made it to them and asked them to be lookout. Timothy nodded to Owen and then turned to the pair, "Bibi, take to the skies and fly around, inconspicuously, watching for anything that may be approaching. Faluo, you do the same, but from the ground. If you guys see anything, book it back here as fast as you can."
The pair nodded and took off in their respective paths, both of which searching quite delicately, being sure not to let anything pass by their gaze without a proper examination.
