Saturday, its the day where people take a well deserved break from all the trouble they had to go through throughout the weak. And the Yoshida family are no different all of them sat at the house, even Hayato who is often seen at his own apartment came today. Just to do their weekly ritual, sitting in the living room, eating popcorn and watching movies. Ren on the other hand was sitting in his poster filled room, packing stuff for his trip to the digital world. So far he took with him a flashlight, a water bottle his digivice and of course the most important thing his sketch book and pencil filled with monster designs he had drawn in the past, examples are a detailed picture of cereberus with a lightning head, an earth head and a fire head, a phoenix with an ice motif and multiple rendentions of dragons both asian and western.
As he finshed packing his bag, he proceeded to wear it and look at the mirror as he starts to get cold feet. "Are you afraid Ren ? Cause its okay if you are." Toshi said as he stuck his head out of Ren's pocket, " Well of course I am, but I already decided to go with it so thats that. Also go back in before you are found out idiot" with that Toshi dived back into Ren's pocket for now. Ren then went to the living room and saw his family watching a movie so he snook passed them in order to avoid lying, and it went suprisingly well as no one paid any attention to him.
After a few minutes they reached the station, and opened the gate and took the secret railmon into terminus. He still can not wrap his head around the talking train, but whatever there are more important things now. And with that he left the train forgettin to close his bag.
After that little thing was done with Ren stepped out to see Terminus, and to say that his mind is blown would be an understatement. The vast city, the different digimon, the weird atmosphere it was all too much on the young man walking around not paying attention to where he is going. If it was not for Toshi who is floating next to him he would have probably hit someone, but if he continues to walk around like that he would hit something or someone soon.

Disembarking from the Trailmon were two other figures, both a familiar and yet, unfamiliar sight to this city.
Namely in that one of these figures was Sophie James, the leader of AEGIS, but not in her usual capacity. For now, she was not dressed in uniform, but casual clothing of long pants, a fashionable dress, comfortable shoes and wearing a handbag and hat. The other figure was her digimon partner, Lantis the Leomon, dressed in his usual outfit of bare fur and leather trousers.
Sophie seemed to be in an awkward kind of mood since she realized with a start that this was her first real day off since starting AEGIS and she was finally pressured by Lantis and her younger brother Colin to just... have a night off. To appreciate the whole other world that was open to her and just have a night on the town, and furthermore, to let Lantis have a bit of fun too, together, not the usual result of "Sophie runs AEGIS while Lantis sneaks off to the digital world to look for a cutie in the nightclubs of Terminus".
"See, Sophie? We got here in one piece" Lantis said, his voice a gentle purr. "Now then, I know the perfect place for you to relax~ it's not too loud, not too boring, perfect place to relax".
"Lan, please stop coddling me, I'm perfectly capable of handling myself in social situations" Sophie snapped in response, but realized she probably should be a bit more delicate. "Thanks... anyway" she relented.
Standing on the platform, she and her partner glanced around to see if there was anyone they knew in the vicinity. While they were doing this, Lantis let out a gasp as he felt someone walk into him.
"Sophie, really-" he began, before turning around and realizing it wasn't Sophie that bumped into him, but a young man around her age. And furthermore he saw an in-training digimon nestled in the boy's pocket.
"Oh, hello there, are you alright?" Lantis asked him. Sophie turned curiously to see what the matter was. Was this a new tamer in the digital world? Well... at least he didn't seem like a kid, so maybe Sophie would be willing to spend some time to pay attention to the guy.

Ren walked around, eyes full of Joy and wonder like a tourist who visited a magical world instead. He spots a group of garurmon buy from a lunamon something, and that shocked him for some reason, to think he would see a fully functioning city filled with amazing creatures. He so wrapped in the beauty of the city he almost forgot the reason he came to the Terminus in the first place which was to learn more about his partner origins and the world that apparently chose him.
"Ren, Ren, hey Ren pay attention. Geez I did not think it could get this bad. Man I gotta do something about this" Toshi said as he was glad that his partned looked at the digital world with a postive look but the digital world is very dangerous, and filled with humans and digimon that harbour nothing but malicious intent for others. Honestly Toshizó biggest fear is not encountering bad digimon or bad tamers, its encountering them in this weak and pathetic state as there is nothing he can really do in his in-training form. But before Toshizó could finish his thought Ren Slammed into a leomon.
Ren then fell quickly to the ground, his impact was not big but it was still something. When Ren's bottom hit the ground the impact was enough to drop his sketch book on an open page for a couple of seconds before Ren quickly took it and put it back in his bag " sorry, I did not see you there. I guess you could say my heads was in the clouds." Ren said as he dusted himself off, he then looked up only to see that he bumped into giant lion man wearing leather pants. He then turned to see a girl around his age next to the lion "oh hi there, its nice to see other humans here." He said before realizing how it could be interpreted in a negative manner "oh geez, I do not mean it like that. Ah geez I am messing up, lets roll it back a little. My name is Ren yoshida and this Toshizó " Ren said as he bowed down to greet the two new strangers and as an apology of sorts.
Toshizó however stayed in Ren's pocket looking at the two strangers, the girl looked like she would be as old as Ren give or take. She did not seem intimidating or anything like it, but the leomon looked fearsome and powerful. Toshi is now very concerned with this leomon, but he decided the best course of action would be to get out of Ren's pocket and approach them normally. So he hovered up out of Ren pocket and floated infront of Ren's head " Yes as my noble partner said, this humble Kyokyomon is called Toshizó its a pleasure to meet you. If I may what brings you to terminus ? " The tiny high-pitched Kyokyomon spoke in a manner not dissimilar to battle honed samurai, is borderline ridiculous Ren however was interested in the answer of Toshi's question.

Sophie looked upon the boy with sympathy. She smiled at his innocence, she had been around experienced tamers for so long that she'd forgotten what it was like to set foot in this city for the first time. "That's alright. But, word of advice, this isn't the best place to be with your head in the clouds".
Lantis chuckled at his awkwardness. "Ah, that's alright. Be thankful that you are a human, if you were a cute digimon I'd be asking for your number by now" he said. At Sophie's glare he grew defensive. "Cripes, Sophie you would not believe how many digimon deliberately run into my butt and pretend it was a mistake..."
Sophie would have normally scolded him for saying that, but eh, whatever, it was their night off. She'd let that slide for now. Instead she listened to the others' introductions.
"Alright then. I'm Sophie James and this is my partner Lantis" she introduced themselves. Ordinarily she'd add that she was the leader of AEGIS, but, eh, she didn't really want to deal with that tonight. Just relax, no business talk. "I've been a tamer for over a year now" she added instead.
"And yet she's failed to tame my rampant spirit" Lantis added, figuring he could get away with talking more playfully tonight than on other nights. And he was right.
Then, they looked at the little digimon on Ren's pocket. Both of them blinked for a moment, then Lantis chuckled. "Heh, no need to talk in that formal tone with me, little one. And, to be frank, we've grown a little tired of work on Earth, so therefore we've come here for a bit of relaxation and respite from it all on Earth. After all, 7 hours here, 1 hour there~"
This was pretty much the truth of the matter. They had more free time on the digital world than they did on Earth, so, why not embrace that fact?
"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, you seem to be rather close to evolution, Toshizo... can I call you Tosh for short?" he asked eagerly, noting the constitution and scent of the in-training digimon. That sounded like a cute nickname.

Ren looked at the girl with an embarrassed look on his face, as he listened to her advice. He nodded in agreement "I hear you, its just I was caught off guard by.....everything really. But yeah from now on I will be more careful, I am well aware that this place can be dangerous as my partner informed me" Ren said with a nervous chuckle, as he is a little embarrassed by his mistake. He then looked at Lantis with a smile on his face, He noticed sophie's glare at Lantis but chose to act like he did not see it. "I bet a lot of them do that." He said with a joking tone, which was a little out of character for Ren but today is an exception as he was in an extremely good mood.
his attention then shifted to the girl who introduced herself, sophie was foreign sounding name which intrigued him. But the thing that caught his interest the most, was the fact that Sophie has been a tamer for over a year. "Its a pleasure to meet you Sophie, Lantis. So you have been a tamer for a over a year? Thats amazing, to be honest with you I have yet to come to terms with the fact that this reality now, but fighting won't change it. So I came here to be a tourist of sorts, but then my head got stuck in the clouds I guess" Ren said chuckling rubbing his neck awkwardly.
Kyokyomon listened intently to Lantis, both toshi and Ren were interested in what kind of work they did on Earth but decided to leave it be, as the both of them did not want to ask for now. "Oh, so you want to relax. Very well, if its okay with you guys Me and Ren would like to join you is that okay Ren" the little dragon caught Ren off guard "oh yeah, we would love to relax with you, if thats okay with you Ms. James? " Ren said as he almost stuttered, he was not the type of person to act so directly. "Wait, 7 hours here equals 1 there ? Wow....thats great actually. "
Kyokyomon looked suprised for a second as Lantis somehow knew he is near evolution, it could be the fact that evolving from in-training to Rookie does not take too much effort, but he chose to believe that Lantis saw something "Why yes you are correct, I must say you have keen eyes Lantis. It must be because of your high level" Kyokyomon trying to give his voice a wispy smart tone, but the pitch is a little to high to pull it off. "If thats what you want, then go ahead call me Tosh." Toshizó said with a smile on his face.
"So, do you guys live in Tokyo as well?" Ren asked the duo, struggling to start a conversation. Toshi on the other hand just floated aroud Ren's shoulders.

Sophie found that she smiled at the young man's words. "Oh yeah, I totally get you" she said, beaming around at the skyline of Terminus. "A bustling alien city and they welcome us like guests, I suppose it is a lot to take in".
Lantis meanwhile chuckled as Ren went along with his joke. "Yes, of course. Although I do tend to believe them if they say they were dazzled by the sight..."
"Oh, Lan, for crying out loud, your butt isn't that majestic" Sophie said, unable to take it anymore. "I've seen you as a Spadamon, it's just fluff".
"But my butt evolves with me" Lantis pointed out, pouting.
"I wish your maturity would evolve but seems to me like it goes in reverse" Sophie snarked. Lantis pouted more, but he wasn't really angry with her, he knew he was acting beyond his boundaries here and would take snark over genuine anger at being unprofessional.
Lan's butt aside, it seemed Ren was indeed a fresh tamer to the digital world. Sophie was wondering why so many more humans were still coming to the digital world, and to be honest, was a little worried as to the reasons why, but eh, her night off. Now was not the time to worry about that.
"Well, first of all, while you're new, I'd advise you to stick to the main cities - that's Terminus, Whitewater and Rustport. Most digimon here know those so if you ever get lost, just ask for directions and you should get there".
So then, seemed like that Ren and Tosh wanted to accompany them. Sophie was kind of relieved at this, at least having a fresh tamer and young digimon nearby could hopefully help Lantis behave. Lantis meanwhile shrugged, agreeing to go with them for the moment, but wouldn't turn down a dance with a digimon that caught his eye later on.
"That's fine, but, please don't call me Ms. James" Sophie said, a little stressed at hearing that name. "Just Sophie is fine".
So it did seem that Tosh was close to evolution. Lantis wouldn't press the matter further, since he realized that him saying this as a Leomon might be intimidating or kinda creepy to such a little digimon. So he'd desist for now. "Alrighty then, Tosh it is" he said. Had Tosh been at least Champion level he'd have invited him to call him Lan, but, best back down at this stage, he thought.
As Sophie, Lantis and company made their way through the city to the nightlife district, Ren asked if they lived in Tokyo. "Yeah, we do actually" Sophie said. "Shibuya district. Although I still live with my family - with mom, dad, my little brother and his two digimon partners". She wondered how that would go over.

Run chuckled our relief as sophie could sympathize with him, he was truly overwhelmed and did not expect the city to be this advanced. "You could say that again, I came here after meeting with this little guy. And my curiosity forced me to go and see the world he came from." Ren said as he fixed his glasses back into position, they were just slightly off.
he then let off a little chuckle as both Sophie and Lantis argued, it felt like two friends arguing. which made Ren smile gently "Its a good thing to have self confidence Lantis " Ren said, Toshi on the other hand was confused, "wait I am already mature, if I evolve I will be more mature ? How will that work ? " the little dragon looked confused, as he looked at Ren for an answer. "Well yeah you are suprisingly mature, a little too mature if you ask me. So if you evolve you ofcourse will................huh, I guess I do not have an answer. " Ren said as he initially raised a finger to sound smart, but he slowly took it away as he let out an awkward chuckle. He was unable to figure out the reason for Toshi acting a lot older than his fellow in-training, but he decided to not let that bother him.
Ren then widen his eyes from shock, he had heard the name whitewater quite recently, infact he heard it before leaving the train to terminus. "Wait a minute, I heard the name whitewater in the train station. I did not expect it to be a city, thanks alot for letting me know." Ren said with a shy smile on his face. "I knew it was a city" Toshi added quickly, his voice as seirous and high pitched as ever. "Wait you did !? Why did you not tell me then ?" Ren asked, understandably shocked and a little angry. "You did not ask my lord." With that Ren let out a dissapointed sigh "eh, I guess that one is on me" Ren said as he grabbed the floating lizard putting it on his shoulder.
Ren was glad that they accepted, frankly the city was a little too scary for him to go alone. Having Sophie and Lantis would be quite a reilef, Toshi was a little too weak to do anything, his only ability is to shoot needles and bubbles. "Oh okay, if that what you want, Sophie it is" Ren said with a faint smile, he is not comfortable on calling people by their first names but, he could sense that she was irritated, by the name Ms.James so he decided to suck it up.
Toshi gave lantis a kind smile, the young dragon could sense a noble spirit to the lion digimon. Whether he was wrong or not is yet to be known, but he chose to believe in the good of others. Now he can relax knowing his partner allied with strong looking people, he decide to relax on Ren's shoulder.
Ren then walked with Sophie, as they made their way to the city. He was suprised to know that she indeed lived in shibuya, mainly due to her foreign name. But before he could even process that he was struck by another shocking fact, her brother had partners aswell "oh wow, so does your whole family know about digimon or is it just your brother. Cause I do not know if I should tell mine, I am inclined to not tell them. In order to protect them, I would hate for my younger sister to get hurt because of digimon." Ren as his hands where his pocket, his posture indicating a calm and cold demanor but his words are filled with conviction, his curious and yet fears this Alien world.
Toshi however decide to float next to Lantis, and strike up a conversation with him "hey sir Lantis, you said you worked in the human world right ?Can I ask you a question then ? How is it ? I never had the ability to roam thanks to obivious reasons" the young (?) Kyokyomon asked, hoping to learn more from a digimon perspective rather than relying on Ren and the internet.

"Well..." Sophie began as she looked at the city again. "At least you didn't wander too far in the beginning. The digital world's getting more and more chaotic for new arrivals" she remarked, glad that she was here to guide these new arrivals before something bad happened.
Meanwhile, Toshi seemed to be a little confused on the subject of maturity. Lantis was of course willing to divulge more, but, given that Sophie's shoe was close to being stomped on his foot, he supposed that talking about it in public probably wasn't the best idea.
So it seemed they were fine with the names they were given. Then Ren asked if their family was truly fine with their children having digimon partners. To this Sophie smiled.
"Of course. It was a bit hard to get across at first, but, my parents accepted my brother's digimon initially, then they met Lantis, and all seemed to be fine" she said. "Then my grandma got involved and she's a real business-enterprising type and got us involved on a whole other level..." she wouldn't divulge more than that for the time being. "But... in my experience, being honest with your family about your digimon is for the best in the long run. I mean, they can't stop you being partners altogether, just... it'd be for the best to at least let them know what's going on".
Of course there had been the awkwardness in the James family household about Sophie and Colin bringing aliens into their lives, but Lantis, Luke and Bellamy had proved intelligent enough to be worthy additions to the household.
Lantis then glanced at Tosh as he asked his question. "Well, the answer is holosuits of course" the Leomon replied. "Just a simple purchase in the Terminus Mall and you'll get a device that makes you look like a human when you switch it on. Of immense use to a digimon, but of course it doesn't disguise you from other digimon. Reduces complications though".
