"Again and again, I live and die."
Near the end of the Server Woods, all seemed undisturbed for the time being. Grass would ruffle and leaves would fall from the wild Digimon inhabiting these woods; daylight barely reached the dirt and grass ground as the decently thick forest roof blocked most of it. The air was clean and weather seemed not too bad.
Yes, all was well in the forest, and all would continue as such, even when a long string of black data would slither and slide through branches, around trees and from the floor, all collecting into one point. This process seemed slow and anyone around would be able to tell where these strings of data would lead. All leading to an egg wire-frame that slowly gained mass and texture and color and soon. Life.
The egg finally finished it's manifestation and promptly fell to it's side against the tree. Nothing more happened for a few moments.....Just lying there in wait, the serene silence of the forest and the wind through the leaves was all that could be heard now.

Server Woods. Just after a small adventure annnd a small fight, but that was off-point! Now, what mattered was getting back to Terminus in one piece, and probably not wreck random tracts of land. Luckily, that wouldn't happen right now, would it?
As she began to get outta the Bayou and into Server woods, Amelie sighed in relief. That should mean she was getting closer to the city, right? At least the weather was way better, and the air felt way more refreshing and less... dank, for the lack of a better word.
The surprises would begin as soon as she crossed the border, however! In the distance, she could see something... coming into life. Curiosity erupted within her mind, and she began approaching. Slowly, it began to become clearer and clearer; an egg of sorts, forming from thin air. Amy had never seen an egg coming to life, and this process was nothing... short of amazing, honestly.
Inching closer to the fully formed egg with wonder filling her eyes, she crouched down and scooped it up, gently. "Hey, little one." With care, she began to rub its top. It was... surprisingly heavy, for an egg. "What are you doing here?"
She wasn't expecting an answer or something of the sort, but the fact remained that most eggs appeared in the Village of Beginnings. And... this place wasn't the Village of Beginnings.

Unbeknown to the creature within the egg, a human had approached the vicinity, taking hold of it after being in awe to it’s birth. To most, it would mean nothing but apparently to her this was an amazing process. Either way, the egg felt heavy and warm to the touch, life was within it after all. Such a serene scene, a young girl holding an egg that looked like it was covered in bandages within the warm environment of a forest.
As she spoke, the egg shook in response. It shook and moved within her arms. It was trying to hatch! It seemed the words she spoke had awoken the little creature from its slumber and an urge to be free grew within it as memories flooded into its tiny mind. The egg bursted, eggshells flying from every direction like a small bomb, dark energy dissipating around her and the egg as it seemed to have been stored within it....if she still held the egg in her hands she would notice...a small black blob open its yellow eyes. A Botamon looked up at the one holding it and would promptly blow bubbles at her face before hopping off.

The egg began moving at her prodding, it was amazing! Wonder if that, in a sense, she could be considered the unborn digimon's 'mom'? Even if that was unrealistic and she would probably be a foster parent at best. But she didn't care, and definitely wouldn't let that ruin the thrill of the moment.
Suddenly, it back to crack and eventually, it burst open! Amelie herself thought she had gotten eggshell remains on her hair, but that was probably a minor issue at the moment compared to the miracle of new life that was behind her eyes! The teenager gazed at the newborn, recognizing the digimon immediately as a Botamon, and smiling brightly at him.
"Welcome. How do you feel?" Unlike humans, she knew that the digimon were probably sapient since day one, and wondered if she would get any response in turn.
Well, she would... in the form of bubbles directly towards her face. Not the best start, but that wasn't something that would dishearten her, either. Neither would the baby's apparent independent nature; maybe a loner, or somebody who wanted to do something right now? In any case, she'd begin walking beside him as soon as he hopped off.
"If you want to get anywhere, you know I can help you, right? Even if you aren't the type that appreciates the company, it'd probably be for the best if you travel with somebody until you evolve a little further? Just to be safe."
Yup. In the end, she couldn't force another being to bear with her, but Amelie's innate gentleness compelled her to at least try to help the newborn until he could defend himself; Server Woods was relatively safe but... an opportunistic digimon trying to take advantage of a newborn wasn't something super uncommon. And... he was more or less her responsibility, wasn't it?

Scyrus now born into the world would cause him to look around himself, examining his surroundings...a forest...He knew a place like this long ago, right? Did he? He wasn't quite sure. The memories that were crammed inside his being seemed to become afterthoughts just as fast as they came to be. He looked down as if trying to examine himself....He was a Botamon huh? Was this what he used to look like? Scyrus' memories seemed faint.
All he could remember was a horrific feeling of emptiness and then suddenly...light?
"...."
He looked up at the human who still hadn't left. Couldn't she read the mood? Scyrus simply gazed up at her without any sign of emotion, not that he could make any expressions considering his form. He simply let out a cute little sigh. It was somewhat disheartening to be reborn in a place you once knew but no longer remember...it was more so because of the fact he felt powerless as he once was.
But one thing was for sure. That feeling was gone. The emptiness.
He begun to hop away from the human who had followed him...Much to his dismay. Her words however did ring true as he stopped and listened to her briefly. He looked down at her words. Despite how stoic he usually was, being in the mind of a child at the moment, he couldn't help but feel upset at how true it was. He just needed...he needed to become stronger and stronger. The strongest...So for this goal, he would accept this unwanted companion. He did however blow bubbles at her again, though not as aggressively as he did before.

Was Amelie being actually patronizing with the small Botamon; well, that was a possibility, in all honesty. But truth was that she just wanted for him to be unharmed until he could evolve enough to defend himself. Was that something bad? She was determined on that not being the case.
His sigh wasn't something she appreciated, as that probably meant that he just wanted to be left alone, but... he'd have to bear with her, at least for the time being. Maybe this was a bit of a thankless job, but in her mind, it was decidedly the right thing to do.
At least the digimon seemed to have accepted her as a companion, or at least as a necessary nuisance; in any case, she'd smile again to him as the two trod together. "Seems like you're a pretty smart guy." The brunette said absentmindedly; this was probably the case of not a newborn-newborn, but of a digimon that already had its baggage. Usually, babies were balls of joy and happiness and this was definitely not the case; maybe, that explained why he hadn't been reborn in the Village of Beginnings? It was an interesting theory.
For now, she'd just shrug at the bubbles sent her way, and adopt a bit of a thinking posture before adding. "You know; once you evolve, I'd like to know your name, little guy; that way we'll be able to make a proper introduction. Meanwhile; mine's Amelie, and I hope we can be friends!"

Scyrus flinched at the human's comment. That sure rubbed him the wrong way but...she wasn't wrong. He was still weak...and quite honestly this sure beat being born in the Dark Area....what was that place again? Judging by the name he remembered it sure didn't sound so appealing. He continued hopping along, wondering just how long he would even remain a Botamon...He continued listening to the human who kept accompanying him regardless.
He simply blew bubbles in response to that, looking not as excited as she was, mainly because her kind of personality was one Scyrus was never good at dealing with...Friend..huh? He had one of those in the past. He could remember this and suddenly felt nostalgic towards the word...Maybe it wouldn't be so bad? Then again, he still wasn't too fond of the girl anyways. He just continued hopping along the ground, no real aim at the moment. He looked back at her and noted she didn't have a Digimon partner...he wondered what was up with that. He looked around, seemingly confused.
"...?"

Well, it was bound to be a somewhat awkward conversation; after all, no one liked to be reminded of their weakness, wasn't it? It was that Amy knew maybe a little too well. Giving a bit of a sad look at the small digimon, she couldn't but reminisce her own experiences at similar stuff. And how her parents had tried to solve it. Maybe it would work?
"That was a little rude, I guess. It's not like I really want to make fun of you, you know? It's more like I... care, I guess; kinda hard to express that at times without sounding patronizing. Sorry."
Maybe Amelie would do well on learning some tact. It'd probably go a long way in the future. Even if she seemed pretty cheery and outgoing, sometimes she was just... blunt, and harsh; not intentionally, though!
She hoped the baby would understand that much! Maybe she was getting worked up about nothing? No way for her to know until he could talk, honestly. What surprised the brunette, however, was how he seemed to look around her, almost as if expecting something and being confused as a result. She mirrored that gesture; maybe a hostile digimon was near?
"Is something wrong?" There was a slight tone of worry in Amy's voice. A fight near a baby had pretty good chances of injuring him as collateral damage, and that was something she wanted to avoid at all costs.

He sighed at her words of worry. Despite how bothersome she seemed, Scyrus didn't consider her a threat, nor as someone to be labelled as an enemy, which was a weird feeling considering he had always seen others as enemies up until this latest rebirth. These new sets of emotions were really foregin to him, as such, he seemed to contemplate what each was and meant....but well it was obvious he wouldn't be able to tell, emotions weren't such a simple thing to grasp. Either way, after his small sigh, he nods as best he can and continues onward.
He looked at her confused as she looked back at him with so much confusion. He shook his head...He was really getting frustrated...he needed to Digivolve and be able to speak already dang it! It was so frustrating not being able to speak.....How did he do it last time? Digivolve...c'mon....Digivolve!
Then as if the gods had approved...a shining light that the girl would be too familiar with would appear before her, gathering around his body....Through his sheer will, Scyrus was able to change....
"Digivolve to....." A childlike voice spoke....and with a flash of dark data, now in the place of the Botamon stood a ball of fluff with two large ears flopped beside it.
"Repamon....I...did it...?" He asked himself, obviously amazed it worked. He looked at his ears as if they were hands and wondered why this felt so foreign. Was this not his previous form?

Well, apparently there wasn't anything wrong, at least judging from how the tiny digimon had shaken his head. What was the deal, then? Communicating with a baby wasn't the simplest thing to do, and it was a bit obvious that Amy was struggling a bit.
Before she could try to piece together what was the problem, however, a familiar light enveloped the Botamon, initiating a process that she knew all too well. Soon enough, the black blob changed into a... rabbit of sorts! That was unbelievably...
"Cute..." She muttered, breathless. Maybe she had a weak spot for adorableness, but she just couldn't contain herself! Besides, now she knew that his name was Repamon. With a bright smile, she crouched down to his level, trying to get face to face with him. "Yup, you did it! Congratulations!"
Did that mean that he now was one step closer to attaining an independent form? That thought was a bit bittersweet, but not something she could bring herself to think about at the moment. Especially, when, unconsciously, the teenager found herself scritching the newly-evolved digimon right behind his right ear... maybe out of sheer adorableness?
Probably wouldn't end well, but she wasn't aware of it. Really!

It hadn't been the best time the past few days. After the incident in the Shining Sea, Toki's spirit hadn't made any attempts to speak to him, and he hasn't tried speaking with him in turn. He felt like he had somehow let the spirit down for what happened. As he flipped through the spirit totems on the screen of his D-Tector before the Beast Spirit totem appeared. With a heavy sigh, he put the D-Tector back in his coat pocket before he continued on his way through the forest. The lush greenery and fresh air always brought a sense of calm to him, even during rough times like this.
He heard a girl's voice not too far from where he was and decided to see who it was. He's been away from others for long enough, it was time to actually talk with someone. He turned towards the path he heard the voice come from and eventually saw a girl and a young rabbit-like Digimon. Was it a new tamer and a baby Digimon? Or was it just a chance meeting with the young one? He couldn't be sure, but he approached all the same.
It took a bit to figure out what to say, but he decided a simple introduction would be best "Hey." he said in a quieter tone as not to spook the young Digimon. With a polite wave and a small smile, he introduced himself "I'm Toki Akiyama. I couldn't help but overhear what was going on, so I decided to come along and say hello."
Toki didn't seem to have a partner with him, which left two possibilities for what his situation is. A newcomer to the Digital World, or a Spirit User. Though given his calm reaction and general acceptance of the place around him, chances are he wasn't new around here. He looked down at the little Digimon and smiled softly at how adorable he was. Once again though he kept his distance, not wanting to annoy or frighten them with approaching suddenly.

Scyrus couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment despite only just evolving to In-Training. It was still an achievement of sorts. He would take this small victory, though his moment was interrupted by the human again, both calling him cute as well as celebrating with him. He looked aside with his stoic expression, sighing slightly.
"Not...Cute." he simply replied. No matter how many times he was reborn, that always seemed to be a word that haunted him. Suddenly he felt something....rather pleasant actually. He closed his eyes as his left ear thumped the floor multiple times like a dog being scratched on the right place....it was so pleasant....Wait a second.
"S-Stop that! I will cut you!" He quickly slapped her hand away with his left ear. What was that sorcery?! What did she do to him that made his mind blank out for a second? He seemed really on guard, his ear twitching as if it already missed the sensation. He needed to be wary of her. She was a threat...Somewhat.
Suddenly a voice from neither her nor him appeared and he shot a glare towards the direction of the voice...well as well a glare as a cute puff ball like him could give. Another human....no Digimon again huh? Were there just Humans without Digimon partners now? He seemed very unsure about this whole thing. He silently glared in an unknowningly cute manner at the newcomer, hopping back as if not trusting him...

Given the digimon's previous temperament, Amelie had expected a response like the one that she had gotten. Amy could understand the digimon not liking being perceived as 'cute' and instead of wanting to be taken seriously. Yet... not expressing what looked like a simple truth from where the teenager stood had proven to be a little too hard for her.
Just like demonstrating affection through physical contact; while, to her surprise, the Repamon seemed to be enjoying her caresses, it soon became clear that... he didn't like what the brunette had done there. How he expressed he didn't like that, however, left her with some serious doubts about the digimon's true stance on it.
"Will stop if you really wanna, but... there's nothing wrong about liking that kinda stuff, you know? Mom did something like that when I was young. I also enjoyed it!"
Well, in her case it involved a brush, her hair and the relaxing sensation that resulted from that semi-intimate mother-daughter exchange. But that was beside the point!
Before Amelie could add anything else to her words, another person began to approach; talk about surprises! "Hey." She greeted. "Name's Amelie; pleased to meet you! I'm just getting this little guy reacquainted with the world. Thus far... it's working, I guess?"
That could probably be debated.

Toki couldn't help but chuckle a little bit at the interaction between Amelie and the young Digimon. There was something he liked about the two of them, but the Digimon seemed oddly similar to himself in some respects. At least, similar to how he was before. Aloof and sort of abrasive when people tried to get too close. "Seems like the two of you are getting along just fine from the looks of it. Just give him a little bit of space. I think that's all he needs while he adjusts."
He sat down and leaned against a nearby tree since the Digimon felt a little uncomfortable around him "So by getting reacquainted with the world I assume they were just reborn? If that's the case, yeah, let's give him some space. I heard that's a rough time for a lot of Digimon." he felt bad for him. He couldn't imagine what it must be like to have that happen.
He looked over at the Digimon "I'm sorry if I made you nervous. Is it okay if I asked you your name? It will make talking a little easier if you want to." he said. He wondered if they would be more comfortable in the presence of another Digimon. At this thought, he looked up at Amelie "Do you think they'd be more comfortable around other Digimon?" he asked her.
Though on second thought he worried that the concept of spirit users might freak the poor Digimon out even more and he didn't want to do that. He pulled out his digivice from his coat pocket and looked at it thoughtfully. "Actually..." he sighed "I don't know. I don't think I have the best relationship with my spirit right now. S-sorry, ignore that. I don't want to make this about me." he said with a nervous laugh. He spoke to the Digimon again "A-anyway, do you have anywhere you would like to go?"

Scyrus scoffed at the statement the newcoming human made. Getting along? It was quite the opposite no matter how you looked at it..Scyrus had to say though, he was getting rather emotional, which was not something he was really used to considering how long he went without emotions. It was amusing in a sense, and not at the same time. Either way he crossed his ears like if they were a pair of arms and looked away, seemingly unimpressed with the whole situation. He almost pouted. A baby Digimon will always be a baby Digimon no matter how many lifetime they have behind them.
"Mm.." He simply nodded, looking at him once more as he spoke, letting them know that he was absolutely right. He sort of was already an independent Digimon having lived so many lives, he knew what was going on and yet not. This whole world looked like it had change so much....But he could barely remember.
He looked off at what he assumed was the end of the forest as the trees thinned out, sighing and turning back to the two humans, he figured he might as well answer that much.
"Scyrus." He stated bluntly, looking and examining the man...another Digimonless Human...He felt like he knew why, and yet that memory escapes him.
"Not quite." He commented dryly, looking at him as as he asked the girl if he would rather Digimon company. Honestly right now he just wanted to reach Rookie once more....but well experiences are a form of strength no? The moment he said spirit though, it hit Scyrus.
"Oh. You two are those strange hybrids." he simply said almost amusedly. That explained things now.
