But it's just an egg (Library, Open)

Giving it more love huh? While that seemed to be working it was very weird that love was what made it hatch, but the spirits thing had Edgar's attention more then that at the moment, he didn't know if he was supposed to raise his hand or something but he just waited till they were all done talking before asking. "I have a question, why do digimon appear in front of humans? The person who told me what digimon were said something it was like a golden ticket, just a rarity but is there a reason beyond that?" This just seemed like way too much coincidence that multiple people randomly got the same little monsters, some even becoming them.

Artemis, on the other hand, raised his hand high. "Also another question, how do the spirits evolve. I mean I can't digivolve either but you mentioned only a single digimon with unfinished goals, does that mean you have to find more fragments of the same? Or can they just go through evolution like normal?" That was also something Edgar didn't understand, he had a basic understanding of the evolution aspect, thanks to Yuuki's partner but spirits seemed like a weird topic.

Alexa nodded at Edgar's question. She was an ordinary girl. She didn't know too much about Edgar and Yuuki's circumstances, but she'd be they were quite ordinary too. Were digimon assigned randomly or did each person have something that 'called' their digimon to them? It was an interesting thing to ponder. Then again, in the grand scale of things, there were much more mundane matters she had to learn about digimon first. She pondered this for a bit, entirely missing Artemis's questions.

The answer was... slightly disappointing. It wasn't Yuuki's fault, it just lacked a certain ummph. Then again, Alexa supposed it was just another great mystery of life along side mysteries like.... the mystery of life. Though the idea of digital gods was an interesting one. So digimon had gods, or at leave believed int hem, just like humans. Maybe beyond their attacks and different physical forms, humans and digimon were more alike than Alexa had believed.

Alexa listened a bit to the spirit question, but mostly was absent-mindedly rubbing her egg. She stopped when suddenly, instead of egg, there was fur. She looked down.

A little bunny-ish thing was looking up at her. That was... unexpected.

Well, she supposed she should make introductions. She opened her mouth, but her new friend was the first to speak.

"Ah yes, past lives. I guess that's why I'm here," the little pink bunny thing squeaked. It was trying to sound dignified, but it hardly came out that way to to it's squeaky, high-pitched voice.

"I assume you're my partner. And that's the egg I came out of," the squishy thing continued.

Alexa nodded dumbly. Oh wait - was she his tamer? She picked up her hand to scratch her head, but inside of it was a strange device - not too different from Yuukis.

"Ah, perfect. I'm sure we'll get alone fine. I'm Data. Well, I'm made from Data, but my name is literally 'Data'. You'll get used to it."

"Hi there. I'm Alexa. It's really nice to finally meet you." She smiled at the little thing for a bit. This was a nice feeling, being a tamer. Kind of warm and all. Even if she'd only known Data for seconds, she felt a powerful bond with him.

Wait, enough of that, she was being rude.

"Oh, um, that's Edgar and Artemis, and that's Yuuki, and the one in the bag is Hikaru," Alexa said, carefully pointing out each of her new friends to her newest friend.

Data gave a polite nod to each as they were introduced.

"I'm Data. I'm a police officer. Well, was. I guess now I'm a digimon partner." The tokomon looked down for a moment, trying to think of what to say next.

"Want to go to the Gym and learn about digivolution, Data?" Alexa asked.

Data looked up to his tamer.

"Oh, that's fair. I mean, I know how to digivolve, I think. I've done it before. In fact." Tokomon leapt up into the desk and scrunched up his little face. To be honest, Alexa thought he look constipated.

After a moment of no change, Tokomon sighed.

"Alright. Maybe a refresher course would be a good idea."

Alexa nodded. Time to go t the gym. Though she'd have to do something about the egg parts around. She stood up to find the egg completely gone. Well, that's convenient.

"Probably that's because you're just born," Hikaru suggested. "Nice to meet you, Data. You're right on time. We're going to the gym, yes... I'll show you something... exciting."

And they walked to the gym... there, as expected, it was guarded by the PE teacher. Yuuki flashed something that looked like a small badge and requested cooperation from him. He seemed understand and a brief "don't make too much of a mess" warning was said, but to begin with, they're not going to make mess...

"Alright!" Hikaru's voice echoed inside the gym. Yuuki locked the door meanwhile, letting his Dorumon partner flies to the small podium. "Now we go to fighting class 101! First, you have to understand, that we Digimons are... how to say, with power unthinkable for human. There's a reason why Yuuki quickly goes to you guys the moment Artemis was out. That is... because Digimon's existence must be kept as absolute secret. I'm sure top brasses of countries, especially Japan's ministers know about Digital World... but to prevent Digimons from weaponized... or worse, invading real world, matters regarding Digimon are kept absolute secret. The organization that handled this was DATS. But they gone defunct... and now..."

Yuuki took out his badge for that cue. "Let's just say I'm a member of organization that replaces DATS. I'm an officer, Itou Yuuki of AEGIS. Nice to meet you guys again. It's actually not a huge enough matter that would make you punished or anything, so please rest easy... I'm doing this kind of out of my job, I guess."

"Well, anyway, back to the topic," Hikaru interjected "Why are Digimon dangerous...? Yuuki, is the dummy ready?"

The human nodded and pushed a dummy... armored dummy actually. Now, Hikaru focused his energy on his tail and...

"Frosty Trail!"

With a whip of his tail, he sent out blade of ice that freezes the target. It's ice, real ice.

"...And you see now, we're quite magical, aren't we? All Digimons have attacks, I assure you. And they only get stronger as we grow... well, I'll let it sink for now... then I'll show you some of my evolution, hm~?"

Exciting, as if magical creatures from another world wasn't exciting enough, Edgar couldn't think of what might be better, except probably more having to do with this. Someone who looked like a teacher was standing in front of the gym, Yuuki flashed something at him. All Edgar caught of that was a mess, what were they going to do in there?

Artemis heard what Data had to say, though he was still in the bag he could reply. "Yup, Artimon, I'm pretty unique, never seen another like me, and the General's the General, no matter how young." The explanation of evolution did make Artemis think. "Bigger huh, I prefer being small, at least for now anyway. After all smaller target better chances.

DATS, well Edgar supposed he shouldn't question it, after all, he did just say they were defunct. "Because Artemis was out, sorry I didn't know." Edgar apologized scratching the back of his head, he just felt showing was a lot easier than saying, after all, people can just think he's lying.

Then the partner decided to show off his power, a blade of ice that froze the dummy nearby, Edgar was shocked, after all, he'd never seen anything like that before. "I'll say, Artemis can you do stuff like that." He asked as the digimon jumped back out of the bag. "Yup I can, well not exactly but." While floating a bit off the ground he raised a stubby hand making a small bow and arrow in the air nearby that looked ready to launch. "This is my power, I can create as many of these as I want." So it's true, they all have different attacks, but that stronger part did make him worry a tad bit. He gave a simply breath in and out calming down a bit.

Artemis had already let the power fade away before hearing Data. "Of course, so far every digimon and human I've met is nice." Edgar simply scratched the back of his head. "How many is that?" 

"Static lady, er Amy, General, Yuuki and Hikaru, Alexa and Data." Giving a loud sigh Edgar simply shook his head. "That's half of them are people you JUST met."

Data watched quietly as Artemis created a bow and arrow. Okay, the was kind of cool he had to admit. It also made him long for his higher forms, when he had proper weapons. He wondered how his tamer would react to seeing his rookie form. It got mixed results at best, usually.

"I'd love to hear more about this static lady sometime," Data said. The description was interesting. He wondered jut how much he missed while he was, well, dead.

Alexa looked down at her new partner again as Hikaru explained how digimon and humans mixed, or rather, didn't. Data was acting well enough now - but did he want to be a partner? Obviously he'd led a life before hand. Well, he could've been making that up, but it seemed unlikely. She felt a bit guilty - he'd probably be better off with anyone other than her. She had so much to learn.

Then she listen to Yuuki. Did she want something from the digital world? Well, she guessed she wanted something from it just like she wanted it from life - purpose. She felt a little better as she realized that whatever the dangers, having a digimon partner probably meant just that - a purpose.

The quest board part confused her. Okay, she got that it was a place with real, living creatures and their own lives. But she still had yet to grasp the scale of the danger - and probably, the danger that humans brought with their involvement. Welp, another question to ask Data later.

"Don't call me a baby," Data said mostly jokingly. Well, he loked like a baby, be he would never think of himself like that.

He was about to protest more when Alexa suddenly jerked up and let out a little yell as Hikaru evolved. Sure, she should've been prepared for it - but actually seeing a horse-sized dragon appear was still shocking the first time.

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself before shaking her head. No, she didn't want to think about what would happen if she met an adult digimon in a dark alley one night.

All this was a lot. It was a lot a lot. Alexa was the first to admit she'd never had a struggle in her entire life. Would she be able to deal with all these digimon and responsibilities?

"Hey, relax there dame. We're partners now. We're in it together. Even though the scary parts." Data tried his best to be reassuring, though honestly, it wasn't his best skill. Still, it seemed to work, and Alexa closed her eyes ans sighed.

"Sorry. I just... you're right, this is a lot." She opened her eyes and smiled shyly. "Sorry to interrupt. This is valuable information, thanks again for telling us all this. What's next?"

"Correct you are. And no offense taken, don't worry. Anyway, let's  go to the next stage of study. I will not deny that apparently, wild digimons can end in real world. We call that "realize". So a digimon that passed through portal from digital world to this world is 'realized'. Let's just say that these mons often came accidentally... But in their confusion, they could harm the other. That's often a mission for a chosen human to send these digimon back... But sometimes, terrorist digimon would appear and wreak havoc because they meant to. These guys must be destroyed." he spoke the last word with a great graveness.

"...normally, digimons that can appear in real world are child stage or adult stage... But one more stage... Should be something that a newbie should not fight at any cost..."

On that cue, once again Yuuki's digivice shone and Hikaru is bathed by light of a golden crest. Silver wings and red body, his neck elongated and he appear as an even bigger Digimon, about a third of a brontosaur, but still very tall and huge.

"Dorugreymon, perfect stage, my power at this form is probably enough to destroy tanks."

Artemis simply floated back a little crossing his stubby arms. "Eh , who knows why it was like that. She was nice anyway. The one who convinced the General to take the Xros Loader." Though to the question directed at him, Edgar simply shrugged at Data's response. "Never said they didn't, after all, big things can come in small packages." Edgar pointed out, after all he wouldn't want to assume anything about digimon, since they seemed to be pretty scary even at the so-called child stage. But when Hikaru then evolved into the much larger digimon Edgar was stunned silent.

"Wow you got big, I would not want to mess with you." Artemis pointed out. "So, cool. And dangerous." Edgar said both enamored with that larger digimon, yet slightly fearful of the damage this digimon could cause. "Man evolution seems so cool, but what can you do." Artemis added with a short laugh followed behind, kind odd to hear a laugh in your head but whatever.
