Earlier in the desert
Takesh was walking around the desert trying to find a way out, Ryu and Ken on the other Hand were each sitting on Takeshi's shoulders. "You know guys I believe we are lost" Takeshi said beginning to lose faith on the directions given to him by Ryu, "Don't be like that Takeshi I am sure we will find a town soon" Ryu said while laying on his belly atop of Takeshi's Shoulder"Yeah stop being lazy and hurry up if you want to go back to your home"ken said as tapped takeshi's head. "Hey, I don't want to hear anything from you two. You have it easy" Takeshi said as he grabbed ken and brought him in front of his face. "Heh heh , I was joking...." Ken said with an embarrassed look on his face "Fine" Takeshi said as he put Ken back on his shoulder.
After a couple of minutes Takeshi bumped into a thing. "Ow, is there a wall he......." Takeshi stopped as he looked up and saw a large orange dinosaur that due to the sandstorm couldn't see it until it was a little too late. The orange dinosaur looked down at Takeshi and blew fire just above his head, "RUN!!!" Both Ryu and Ken yelled as Takeshi turned to his right and ran with all of his strength "You are not gonna take me alive!!" Takeshi exclaimed as he sprints further from the dinosaur. "I think we lost it. "Ken said as looking backwards.
fifteen more minutes
As Takeshi was on his last leg, the gang saw a sign that says Rustport Town. "We....did..it "Takeshi said completely out of breath "Yes finally !" Ken said raising both of his tiny arms signalling victory. "Well lets hurry up before we see anything dangerous again" Ryu tries to be the cautious one warns the gang. Takeshi then reaches the town and he enters he is shocked at the digimon holding what looks like a function society. "Woah this looks awesome." Takeshi said as his eyes roamed the town. Takeshi decided to catch his breath before asking for help.

"Ugh, why are we in Rustport again?" Bellamy grumbled with distaste. The airship digimon that he was on with his brother and partner was descending in to land. It seemed hot and dry as ever, hence his partner Colin wearing a simple shirt and light cloth trousers, while he just had his purple and white fur to bear - his brother's red and white fur also bare to the world. Today they just wore their red and blue scarves, as well as their leather shoulder armor that bore the crest that each twin had - Compassion and Tenacity.
"All par the course, we have to keep an eye on the news for PROFIT to conduct its operations" Colin explained as they landed in the town transport hub. "You know that by now, Bellamy, nobody's been over in Rustport for a while, we should keep an eye on the news here".
"Yeah, yeah, but Rustport though" Bellamy grumbled as they disembarked Daedalus - their friendly machine merc. "Every time I go here I get sand up my butt for days".
"Ah what a dilemma" his twin brother Luke drawled. "One hand, Bellamy "The world needs to see these legs" Impmon refuses clothing, other hand, sand is pretty coarse and rough and irritating..."
"Aw pipe down, Skywalker" Bellamy spat back, but they grinned a little as Colin secured Daedalus in his Digimemory. With that set, the three of them walked into the town proper. Bellamy then saw that the pub was open. Eh, Rustport might very much be nicknamed 'Dustport', but at least they had good drinks here.
Colin kept an eye out for the residents here. He saw mostly only digimon - rookies and champions as usual, going about their daily lives. But then he noticed something that seemed a little curious. A young man that looked about Sophie's age, with a red and blue DemiVeemon on his shoulders. Newcomers? Well, it looked like they had twin digimon too.
Welp, best go meet them. "Heya!" Colin called out and approached. "Bit dangerous to be in this part of the digital world with just in-trainings isn't it?" he asked, hoping they hadn't got into trouble.
Luke and Bellamy were standing at his side, looking curiously up at the seemingly fresh tamer and his twin digimon.

Takeshi was wearing a black long sleeved shirt unbuttoned and a plain white shirt underneath as for pants he was wearing a normal jeans. The twin partners looked identical if not for their blue and red colour variation. Takeshi was resting on the town gate as he saw another human landing with what looked like two rookie digimon arguing, Takeshi was happy to say the least seeing another human in the digital world he has only seen digimon so for and ninety five percent wanted to eat him so far. As the young man approached and greeted him Takeshi did the thing any one would do and said "Hello there" the two digimon jumped down from his shoulders and looked at the two new digimon. "Yeah it was actually , its a funny story but I actually woke up not very far from here" Takeshi chuckled remembering that not long ago he was going to be a meal for some dinosaur. "Actually we are glad we found this place when we did we needed some rest and resources before going to find a way to send Takeshi back home." Ryu said wanting to know if they know a fast way to the station "Oh yeah where are my manners my name is Takeshi and this is Ryu and Ken " he pointed at the blue one and then the red one respectively.
Meanwhile Ken was silent staring at the two digimon for a couple of seconds "if you don't mind me asking , but why are you so confident. I mean you two look strong but can you take down actual champions ?" Ken pondered as he is not sure why would they willingly come here if they are aware its dangerous here. "Hey that is not polite Ken, I am very sorry do not pay him any attention" Ryu said as he apologized for Ken's rude question. Takeshi just stood there rubbing the back of his head looking kind of embarrassed.

Going to the desert wasn't Alexa's idea of fun, but once more, a client needed them. And they'd done a job well done, too - managing to find their client's long lost sister. Alexa was still plenty confused by the concept of digimon siblings, but thankfully her confusion hadn't effected the mission. Now they were just hanging out in Rustport town. Data seemed to enjoy the law-and-order atmosphere, and even Alexa had to admit there was a welcoming air here. Too bad there were no fancy shops her she could peruse. At least there was a nice saloon where they could get some cold drinks.
"Hey, take a look out there," Data said, pointing out to the streets with one claw. They'd arrived here with him as Pegasusmon, but he was back to trusty ol' Demidevimon form now. Made it easier to get into the saloon, definitely. Alexa snapped out of her thoughts to look over. A young man with an impmon and an elecmon was talking to another boy with some demiveemon on his shoulders. They must've been tow 'twin' tamers. She'd only met one so far. She was meeting so many interesting and different people and digimon!
"Let's go make sure they're okay. The one with the DemiVeemons looks like he's tired," Data said, ever the perceptive one.
"Good idea," Alexa responded. She got a platter with glasses of water on them before paying the tab, and then walked out to the street, expertly balancing the tray on her palm.
"You guys doing okay? Have some water, courtesy of us," Data said as the approached the group.

So, they had woken up not far from here? Yeah, that worked out. "Good thing you ended up not far from the town" Colin remarked. Too far in the desert and they could have been lost to dehydration. Man, he should really go on patrol more in the remote areas of the digital world to rescue lost and scared new tamers if they arrived. Perhaps Daedalus's radar could detect humans if he tried hard enough?
Their names were Takeshi, Ryu and Ken. Bellamy and Luke both stared at the name "Ryu", but, realized that it probably wasn't their friend. "Ryu" was a common name among dragon digimon, and they were sure their Dracomon friend wouldn't change partners.
"Well, I'm Bellamy, and this is my partner Colin, and my identical twin sister Luke" Bellamy said, grinning.
"Oh my god, Bells, really?!" Luke asked, giving his brother an exasperated look, holding back laughter at how silly he was being.
The little twins asked why they were so confident, and if they could take down actual champions. Bellamy snorted and looked like he was trying to come up with an awesome enough answer, but Luke cut him off.
"Be nice, Bellamy" he told his brother, then looked back to the little Demiveemons. "Well, yeah, I think we can handle champion levels if we have to" he said. "Our partner can evolve us if that happens".
They were then joined by a third tamer, who helpfully brought some water. "Ah, hey, that's nice of you" Colin said to her, glad of the generosity. "Don't worry about my partners and I, we just got here, we had water on the airship" he said.
"I wouldn't mind somethin' stronger though, like... say... a Margarita?" Bellamy asked, eagerly. "Just kiddin, sheez" he added as Luke gave him a look that said "...really?"
"So then, how about we head somewhere with a bit of shade?" Colin suggested after introducing themselves to the new tamer as well. The sun overhead was rather hot and it was getting a bit uncomfortable.

Takeshi nodded as Colin said that he is are lucky to have landed where he did " I agree , to be honest I was not sure we are going to make it but all's well that ends well I guess" Takeshi said as he took a sigh of relief. Well at least he now knows that they are other people besides him here. Ryu noticed the two digimon paying attention as they heard his name but immediately brushed it off. As bellamy made joke Ken couldn't help but laugh "hahahahahaha that's hilarious, oh my stomach" Ken laughed so hard he had to hold his stomach, Ryu and Takeshi both let out a sigh "Geez ken would you hold it together" Ryu said shaking his head "but that was funny " Ken said as he slowly stopped laughing.
"Nice meeting you Colin, Luke and bellamy" Takeshi said. While Luke explained to the group that they can digivolve and beat champions, both Ryu and Ken looked very interested with sparking eyes. "Awesome" Ryu said as his face was full of glee. Then a young woman came and offered them water, yet another human man things are turning up for Takeshi "oh thanks alot " Takeshi said as he takes a cup of water "hello there , I am Takeshi " Takeshi said he was so thirstly that he forgot to introduce himself. "And I am Ryu " the blue demiveemon raised his arm "And I am Ken " the red demiveemon raised his arm.
"Yeah sure this sun is annoying " Takeshi agreed to Colin proposal to get a little shade."want to come join us " Takeshi said to the nice and friendly newcomer. "Yeah join us it will be fun this guy here is so funny " Ken said jumping up and down and then pointed at the bellamy.

The water seemed to be well-received. That was nice. Well, almost. Alexa was going to suggest the impmon got his drink in the saloon, but realized it was a joke. She'd wondered if that meant she could get an alcoholic drink here, if younger digimon could, too.
"We're Alexa and Data. I'm Data, that's Alexa, obviously," Data said, pointing to himself and his partner as he introduced them. "It's nice to meet ya'll." He looked at the two pairs of twin digimon. For a moment he wondered what it'd be like to have a twin. Probably weird, honestly.
"You have an airship? That's handy. But yeah, shade is a must around here," Alexa said. "We could go back to the saloon. It's not too crowded in there this time of day. But yes, we'd love to join you." They hadn't been doing anything important anyway, and getting to know more tamers and digimon was always a good thing. She looked over the Bellamy. Data had told her a bit about some digimon - Bellamy seemed to be an 'impmon' - which was one of the digimon closely related to DemiDevimon. She could imagine him being a bit of a prankster or a fun guy. Hey, she wasn't opposed.

Bellamy grinned as Ken took his silly little joke pretty well. He decided that he liked these kids, and not only for the reason that his elder brother liked helping out baby digimon.
"Ken's just got a good taste in humour is all" Bellamy said to Ryu, then winked. "Stick around me, kiddos, and you'll learn the ways of the Impster".
"Yeah, but don't stick around him too long or there'll be things you might not be able to wash out" Luke quipped. Bellamy looked as though he was going to contest that allegation for a moment then halted.
"Yeah, fair point" he sighed. "But once you evolved, if you ever need advice from a proud dad with a functioning family, heh, I'd be available to such awesome proteges like this little dude" he grinned at Ken. Luke approved, glad that his brother had somehow caught on that it was always cool to be nice to babies and in-trainings.
So the others were Alexa and Data. Colin glanced up at her as she mentioned the name. "Alexa? Sorry if this seems out of the blue, but, have you met my sister Sophie recently?". He only raised this because of a recent conversation with his sister Sophie about how her AEGIS organization was shaping up as of late.
Colin nodded in affirmation of Alexa's question. "Yeah, we have an airship. He's a digimon mercenary actually, but, we have a contract with him, so, he can take us wherever we need to go in the digital world" he said. "And anyone else too, if you ever need a lift" he felt the need to offer.
"Well then, the saloon it is" Bellamy said, grinning as it seemed to be unanimous. The three would then make their way to the saloon, where hopefully there would be much conversation and possible hijinks what with this fun looking group.

Takeshi looks a data for a second, honestly he looked menacing but Takeshi is above judging books by their cover. "Nice meeting you Alexa and Data, Thanks again for the water." Takeshi let out a gentle smile. "Nice meeting you guys " Ryu waved at Alexa and Data. Then bellamy described himself as a father of a functioning and the first thing that came to Takeshi's mind is DIGIMON CAN HAVE FAMILIES, DIGIMON CAN GET MARRIED ?, but to avoid making things awkward Takeshi decide to keep his thoughts to himself but he will definitely explore this topic on a later date.
Ken eyes were filled with excitement as Bellamy said that ken is awesome"Wow you are so cool" Ken said as he almost looked like a fanboy for this bellamy. "Hey I do not want to be rude but what brought you guys here, again I am not saying that we are not grateful I am just curious is all" Ryu said looking at both alexa's group and Colin's group. Takeshi then payex attention as Alexa asked about the airship he completely forgot to ask, but the answer helped him get things clear. As Colin offered a ride Takeshi smiled "Thanks but we do not want to be a bother " Takeshi kindly dodged Colin's offer.
Colin then mentioned his sister who was named sophie, the first two things that came to his mind is does this Sophie know about this place and are Colin and Alexa acquaintances? Well he did not pay it much thought. "Well then I would have said drinks on me but I do not know if they accept yen here " Takeshi chuckled as he jokingly offered. "Lets go woohoo" Ken said as he hopped his way up to Bellamy.

Dad? This digimon was a dad? Oh, Alexa had so many questions. But those could be asked later, in a more appropriate setting. And the Colin asked something very surprising. She turned to him, her mouth open in surprise. Well, she supposed there was a slight family resemblance.
"Sophie's your sister? I mean, yes, yes I met her very recently. There was a digimon smack dab in the middle of Shibuya that we dealt with together. Not violently, mind you. She's the head of AEGIS, right? We're thinking of joining up," she explained.
"I don't think we need a lift right now. But that's very useful," Data said, somewhat to himself. He just imagined the places they could go on an airship. Well, he could already fly, but he could save himself the strain if someone else carried Alexa.
"No problem," Alexa then said, giving Takeshi a kind smile. She just did what anyone else would do when they saw a tired, thirsty set of travelers. She gave Ryu a wave as well.
"We came out here to solve a case. It's all done now, so we're just relaxing," Data explained to Ryu. "It's okay to be curious." Then he flew up onto Alexa's shoulder and they headed back to the saloon.
It was just like before, sparsely populated by a few digimon here and there. No one seemed to be looking for trouble like in the westerns Alexa had seen, so that was nice. Alexa picked out a large table in the corner for the group. Data hopped of Alexa's shoulder and took a seat next to her.

Bellamy was positively thriving from the praise and the attention. But still, family was family, and he didn't want Luke to miss out.
"Heh heh. I might be cool, but my big brother's the smart one" Bellamy said, putting an arm around Luke's shoulder. Even if the Impmon was taller, he still called Luke the 'big brother'. "Take this for instance. Hey, Luke, what did humans use for transport before they had cars and trains and stuff?"
Luke was a little flustered at being put on the spot like this, but he did enjoy playing the part of a teacher, and assumed a pleasant expression as he imparted his knowledge from Colin's father's textbooks. "Humans used to use horses for long distance transport" he explained. "They're these big animals that look like Unimons. Then, humans discovered electricity and a machine called a 'combustion engine'"
"Yep, and they made the horses go much faster" Bellamy interjected. Luke glanced up at him with an awkward expression.
"Um... no..." he began, but they were already at the saloon. Colin couldn't help but laugh at Bellamy's naivete. Colin then turned to Ryu.
"We're doing some patrol work for our team" he explained. "It's our job to visit the more remote areas of the world and scout out any jobs that might need to be done, then we head back to our base in the South. We're part of a team called P.R.O.F.I.T, or just PROFIT for short".
"Remember to say it with all caps" Bellamy quipped.
"Actually please don't" Luke requested, sweatdropping.
Then they were asked if they accepted yen here. "Nah, currency of the digital world is bits" Bellamy said, reaching into a pouch that hung around his waist and showed the coins. "But you can exchange 'em at banks in Terminus and Whitewater - they're the main cities of the digital world. Actually if you're lucky there might be a branch here, probably not though".
Colin meanwhile was speaking to Alexa. "Yeah, Sophie's my big sister, and head of AEGIS. And that's great to hear you're thinking of signing up, Sophie's always on the lookout for new recruits". He took a glance at Alexa's partner. Hopefully the DemiDevimon was a good Virus attribute like Bellamy was.
Luke meanwhile picked up that Alexa was here solving crime. "Ah, so you're a detective?" he asked, tilting his head with curious interest.

Takeshi stood there listening to both talk about this Sophie person who is apparently is Colin's sister. Then Alexa said that she was the leader of something called AEGIS and that she wanted to join "Sorry to interrupt but the name AEGIS peeked my interest can you guys tell me about it. I will understand if you can't. " Takeshi was too Curious to let that pass.
Ryu and ken were listening to Bellamy praising Luke. Ryu was suprised that Luke was the 'big brother' between the two but he quickly moved on. As Luke explained to them human transportation methods both of them were impressed "woooah" Ryu exclaimed as he was very impressed, of the two Ryu is the one who is very interested in the human world. And as Bellamy intervened Ryu looked at Bellamy " that does not sound right." Ryu said before Luke confirmed his suspicion.
Then as data explained what they were doing here all three of them were interested " Wait so you guys are detectives ?" Ken said looking at data.
Then Colin explained his reason and the fact he was a part of a team called P.R.O.F.I.T that was a little too obvious who thought of that name. But what interested Takeshi the most is the fact that there are multiple teams "whats that about?" Takeshi asked Colin about P.R.O.F.I.T.
Bellamy then replied to Takeshi genuinely explaining to him what he had already learned from Ryu, but to avoid being rude he said "oh, thanks for the info Bellamy "
Takeshi then took a seat as the twins climbed up and stood at the table in order to be able to talk to others. "By the way I have been meaning to ask you to you know where the station is ?" Takeshi said as he almost forgot about it, their pleasant company made him feel comfortable. "The one you can use to go back to the human world" Takeshi added.

"I'm not the detective, Data is," Alexa explained. "You know, I always wanted a horse. But yeah, they're kind of useless besides being pretty and being a money funnel. But yeah, AEGIS seems set up to protect digimon and people in the real world from anyone who'd cause it harm. When I met Sophie, we were helping a digimon that'd come into the real world by accident. I've actually met a few other digimon that's happened to as well. Now there's also PROFIT, eh? I wonder how many teams are out there. I still have so much to learn."
"Me too, kid. Remember, the world's changed an awful lot since my first life. But yeah, I'm the detective. We were out here on a missing mon's case. It wrapped up pretty neatly, all things considering. We don't usually get so lucky with cases, so I thought we'd take a breather to celebrate," Data said.
"The trailmon station should be at the other end of the town. But don't tell me you're going to leave now, we've all just met," Alexa pleaded.
"Plus, we need to get our drink," Data added.

Colin was happy to tell the story of his sister's organization. "Sure, as soon as we're in the saloon" he said.
"It's not right, actually" Luke answered Ryu and was about to explain why when the conversation moved on. Well, at least the blue Demiveemon had a sound mind.
They proceeded into the saloon as Alexa told more of their detective business. So Data was the detective? "Had any interestin' cases so far?" Bellamy asked out of interest. "And yeah, the Trailmon station's not too hard to find, just follow the tracks on the other side of town".
Once they were seated at the table, Colin decided to explain more about AEGIS and PROFIT.
"First up, AEGIS is an organization that acts as gatekeepers to Earth" Colin began. "My sister started it up when she had heard that the organization known as DATS became defunct, and it was their job to do so when they were active. Sophie's had to pretty hastily set everything up, but she's going well, they even have an HQ now".
Supposing he'd better explain a bit more, he took a sip of drink as it arrived and continued. "Basically, if a hostile digimon shows up on Earth, it's AEGIS's job to contain them before they do too much harm" he said. "Don't worry though, if your partner digimon's a rookie level or lower and knows how to behave themselves then they're allowed to move around on Earth, just as long as you're discreet about it. Other than that, AEGIS aims to learn more about the digital world and promote good relations between humans and digimon".
With that done, Colin moved onto his own organization. "PROFIT meanwhile exists as an organization on the digital world pretty much. We basically aim to do whatever jobs need to be done, as long as it's within the law. We aim to give the digital world a healthy economy and concept of fair play. If criminal digimon are causing trouble, we're pretty strong and we're happy to do the job. But most of what we do is ordinary stuff - transport, messaging, rescue, recon, pretty much anything within our capabilities".
Saying that out loud, PROFIT seemed to be a bit less impressive than AEGIS, but Colin and his partners were still happy to be a part of it.

Takeshi let out a sigh of relief as he was notified that trailmon station is indeed here in rustport town, if only people know how hard it was to get this information. Then the drinks arrived, Takeshi took a much needed refreshing drink it almost feels like he was in heaven. Alexa and her partner data pleaded Takeshi to not leave so abruptly, which they were not going to do in the first place "No no we were not going to go, its just that I wanted to confirm the information I got."
"Why would we go, you guys are so cool" Ken said his face covered in a big wide happy grin
When Colin started explaining what AEGIS is you can see Takeshi and Ryu were really interested, Ken was interested but not really near his brother and partner. The gatekeepers of Earth, Takeshi liked the sound of that. The more Colin explained what AEGIS does the more impressed Takeshi and Ryu get, while Takeshi has thought about it a team like Aegis would be invaluable in a situation like this. "Wow you're sister sounds Amazing, she created that group herself ?"
"I agree managing such an important group does not sound easy"
Colin then talked about PROFIT which was an interesting group, at first glance you would think they are a glorified odd jobs but they seem important to digital world not as much As AEGIS though.
"I just got here, its reassuring to know that they are plenty of people here beside me, you guys are the first human I have met since falling in the river" Takeshi said as he took another sip from his drink, he felt pretty comfortable after finding out about teams like AEGIS doing the best they can for the sake of both digimons and humans.
