Post by Eleonora on Mar 27, 2019 14:06:24 GMT
After an encounter with one of the 7 Great Demon Lords and one of the scientist from the organization known as the Decode Network, Eleonora had only one thing on her mind and was getting stronger and to do that she need to start recruiting more digimon to her army, yet the problem lies in that she doesn't know how to recruit or who would be willing to fight along side her.
Kamina had an idea, go and pay a visit to an Ogremon that has some kind of mercenary guild and scout digimon for the army there, and since the Mamemon X is the combat expertise of the army who better mon than himself to scout for the new members? Granted just to make sure that what happen in Rustport does not happen again Eleonora gave the little Mamemon some kind of Bracelet that works as a communication device, she thought it would be best if the army have a way to keep in touch and with help of the gears they make a communicator.
"Put all your trust in me general of the golden hair, I'll be back with the greatest warrior for this army and together we are going to vanquish the evil from our world!" The little bean took the bracelet/communicator device and ran towards his destination
Eleonora just sighed as she saw the little bean go away and get lost in the multitude of digimon, thankfully this time they'll be in touch so nothing can go wrong, right? In any case she could also take some time to look at the rest of the shops while waiting, some extra gadgets or cards doesn't sound bad, hell she could even get some new clothes, being scare of stepping into the human world and her data going unstable meant that all her clothes that were there are unable to reach
She walked through the city looking at the stores and shops around her follow by the gears, she was looking at cards with interest as she knows the Xros Loader has a similar functionality to that of the D-Arc, while she is not interested in buying yet looking doesn't hurt, right?
Speaking fo looking, at the corner of her eye she saw something that made her go pale in an instant, a pair of bat like purple wings that she knows pretty well thanks to that adventure in the woods, it's impossible that its the same digimon, right? Yeah Leo is just overthinking it, but in any case she would just play safe and try not to call the attention of the bean, what are the odds of actually coming to this exact place? Or being the same one she met? Hopefully those odds are low

It was rather rare that Akemi and Anzu were given time to themselves that they didn't spend at Deeplane. It was even rarer that they weren't spending it sleeping or anything a sane person would do. Having recently bought the D-Arc, they needed cards to bolster and actually make use of the device's potential--They had already seen what cards could do during their trip up to the Skies...
So, what else could they find? While Akemi was going through packs and singles, Anzu was perched atop her head akin to a hat, staring around before she caught sight of a head of blonde hair. Little taller than the blondes she knew, but she squinted at the person. Who...went pale. "...Shoot, is she okay?" Anzu murmured, quietly, before she took off from Akemi's head and towards Leo.
"Excuse me, miss, are you okay? You seem a lil' pale, uh...My tamer's got aspirin if you need any." Speaking of? Akemi hadn't been oblivious to what Anzu just pulled, considering she was right behind her. "Please tell me you're not gonna make that a habit..."
"No promises!" The bean smirked!

Any hope Eleonora had of going unnoticed vanish the moment the little bean started to fly towards her, the blonde took a couple of steps back when the Tsukaimon was right in front of her, the innocent question and tone in her voice made it all the more hard to not think that is the same one from the forest, a girl came not soon after asking if the bean won't make that a habit and the cheerful asnwer from the digimon did felt like the one in the woods, sure the girl didn't look anything like Layla but that thing was a shape shifter so the paranoia of them going after her was there and raised a lot of flags
"N-no, I'm fine thanks" Said the German trying to act calm and collected even if she stuttered a little "You could say I thought I saw a ghost, but it was just my mind"
"Greetings, we are Gurren" "And Lagann, this is our General Eleonora Schmidt" "We are please to meet you two"
The gears speak and made the introductions something that Eleonora regretted in the moment, why couldn't they stay shut just for this one time? In any case acting nervous and scare won't do any help if they are truly the two of the forest she has an advantage of well being in a public space, she doubts Lilithmon would outright come out of nowhere and end her right here, besides it's not like she has something like the two flowers that were saved, that's sadly on Tsukiko who the blonde hopes it's fine since they have no information about her after exiting the forest.
"Yes, Hi it's nice to meet you" She said a little more cheerfully trying to maintain the cool act

"A ghost, huh?" Akemi snickered a bit. She wasn't quite pale enough to be mistaken for a ghost, but the thought was amusing...Anzu, however, was more vocal about this. "Well, did you look in a mirror recently? If you put some makeup on, you'd definitely be able to pull a ghost off for Halloween! ...That or dress as one of the beacons that signify Gondor calling for aid."
The reference was lost to Akemi, however, as she didn't read Tolkien. "I'm Anzu, the Great and Powerful! And this is my significantly less intimidating tamer, Akemi Amaya." The Tsukaimon introduced herself in a rather grandiose manner, but Akemi simply waved it off.
A Xros General? Those were a kind of entity she rarely ever heard of, much less got to meet. "It's nice to meet you as well! So...Xros General, eh? Got an army in that Loader?" ...She was bad at small talk. Horrifically so.

Seeing this two interact between each other ease Eleonora a bit, definitely don't sound or act like the ones she was thinking, ghost comments aside the grandiose introduction given by the bean made the German giggle, undoubtedly she was in front of a true duo of friends that have gone into tons of adventures, Tamer and Digimon relationship are interesting to her, while in a way the generals are humans bound to partners there is a difference on what bounds them together and how a General act to keep its group in order feels much different from the almost family bond tamers share.
"Well, the army is a plan on the making, for now I just have these two gears and a Mamemon X but he's scouting for members so you can say that this loader is pretty much unload!" The blonde chuckle at her own bad joke trying to fully calm herself "Speaking of which, wonder if he got something or at least reach the mercenary place he was talking about"
She activate the communication app on the Loader hoping to hear something from the little ball of metal but no answer, Leo shrugged maybe he was busy looking at the possible candidates to answer or maybe he didn't reach the place yet, whatever was the case no reason to worry... Yet, better focus on getting to know the duo she has in front
"Are you two from around here or come often?" The blonde ask, much like the bean she was bad at small talk but surely something interesting can pop up from this conversation "I think this is my real first visit on Terminus not counting the time I fell through the bridge of the river and even then I didn't explore much, so if you know a place or something interesting to do here while I wait for my partner to contact me I'm all ears" She finish the sentence with a smile

"Ah, so you're handling recruitment...I see, I see." Akemi nodded a few times towards the German. Again, she didn't know very much about this breed of Tamer, so any bit of info? It was considered to be good info. "So you genuinely do have to just recruit people? Interesting. What about the combinations? Do they just learn them from the get-go or does there need to be a catalyst like with...regular tamers?"
"Kemi, don't...bombard her with questions." Anzu, in a shocking display of intelligence, tried to get some of the figurative pressure off of Eleonora. Akemi just exhaled a bit. "...Right, um. Sorry. What mercenary place? And we come here a lot--We're not from around here, obviously, but this is one of our favorite places to frequent. Um...My favorite place is a cafe not far from here. And here. There's cards here!"
This was already off to an interesting start!

In just a couple of seconds Leo was bombarded with questions about the Xros General, it was nice that the bean stop her tamer for a minute so the German could take a moment to answer, the funny thing is that probably there is no worst person to explain what a Xros General is than Leo herself, things just happen and oddly work for the best.
"I mean... I guess?" Eleonora answer a little confuse about the recruitment question "Being honest we met Kamina in the desert and he was being attacked, we decided to help him but we were quickly outmatched, it wasn't until he actually agreed to work with us that the Loader recognize him as part of the army that the Xros list was updated and show me the first combination"
So in a way yes, they kinda have to recruit people and they agree to be part of the army, how does the Xros Loader recognize them that's beyond the German's knowledge it was a thing that just happen, granted she doesn't know much about the digital world either and she most likely would just go with the flow if it wasn't for the previous adventure sending a warning to get strong and ready for anything.
"Oh yeah the mercenary place, I'm not entirely sure, Mamemon said something about being manage by an Ogremon they sell mercenary contracts, but maybe one or two would want to work for us if we tell them our goals" The blonde said "Yeah I heard about this cards and to my understanding the Xros Loader has a similar function but it's unavailable as of now, have you use the cards before? I'd love to know how useful they are in an actual fight, might try to get the function unlock for my digivice"

Huh, this sounded a little more mundane than Akemi had been expecting. Of course, not that that was...actually bad or anything. Any bit of info she could get was good. "That's pretty neat...Also a really nice person if he joined you for saving his life." The Loader, however, sounded more self-aware than other digivices. That was neat!
So, this mercenary place was ran by an Ogremon? It sure didn't really ring any bells for Akemi. The cards though? She could actually talk about them. "I can confirm that they're a really welcome asset in a fight--Anzu and I had to use them to delete a Yatagaramon that wanted us dead this...one time we got stranded in the Empyrean Skies. It was a pretty swift fight thanks to them. So...If you can? Invest in them! I can help you get some packs too!"

It was obvious for the girl expression that the explanation given by Leo wasn't what she was expecting, but what else can she do? The gears doesn't know how the Xros Loader works either so it's up to her to figure things out and by her experience that's how the digivice worked.
"Sorry I can't give a better explanation, I'm still figuring out how to be a Xros General, I have no idea how anything on this world works and I just roll with everything that happens around me, if it works in the end good for me" That said things not always work well for her and that's the main reason she seeks getting more people on her group to get stronger and never fail again
Listening to the girl saying that they defeat a Yatagaramon rather easy with the help of the cards definitely help the girl to take her decision, any help is always welcome and that way she would do something else than just stand still and look at the fight develop
"Uhm... Can you do something for this Digivice to use cards?" She asked to the Cardmon attending the store
"Yes, yes!" The little digimon fly to the back and came back with a little chip and a case with even more chips "The first one is an unlocker, load it on the side of the Xros Loader and you'll be able to use Digi-Memory chips like cards! With your first buy you also get a starter pack of cards/chips as a gift!"
Leo took the first chip and place it on the right side of the Xros Loader, the digivice screen shine and started updating, after some seconds the new function was available and just to be sure she doesn't run low on memory chips she buy one booster pack alpha, after opening it and looking through the chips she really saw the potential some of this little things had but just to be sure.
"Hey? Think you could help me try and figure out some combos with this?" She ask Akemi, another way to distract herself and learn something while waiting for Mamemon's call

"It's okay! I wasn't really expecting something so detailed you could put in a textbook. I'm trying to figure out as much of this world out as I can, myself, so...really, any bit of information, be it from anecdotes or other stuff, it helps." Akemi said with a nod towards Leo.
She watched the German ask for help with unlocking the card-reading part of the loader, and went over to look at what she pulled from the pack. "I can, but I'd like to note--keep the card ranks in mind. Your army might need to be at a certain level of power to be able to make use of things like Death's Lure. What's the...highest level they can get to, out of curiosity?"
It was best to figure out where they could start with this sort of thing before jumping to any conclusions.

Eleonora smiled seeing that as bare bones as her explanation of how the Loader and recruiting partners for the army was in a way help Akemi a little, surely in the future she'll have more anecdotes to share about this amazing world, and her partners too if Mamemon is anything to go by the litle thing has been having adventures for a while before they even met!
"Well, glad I could help a little, I promise when I get enough experience I'll give you a true explanation of how everything works!"
That said the German gave Akemi the chips to give it a look and see if she can figure out some combos to help, seems like Leo got lucky on her buy after all it seems most of the booster packs are random, although it seems that you need to achieve certain levels before being able to use some, like Death's Lure if that's the case it'll be a shame, she hope to use a Demon Lord weapon to defeat an actual Demon Lord.
"Well as of now my highest level is X2 that it's the equivalent of Champion, that's why I'm trying to rec─" A beeping sound from the Loader interrupted Eleonora and when she look at it it was an incoming message from Mamemon, "Kamina! Good to hear about you an─"
"I don't know how much time I have to talk before the guard comes back so listen, I've been kidnapped, a Harpymon attack me and the last thing I remember is waking up in a cage with a Gaossmon that's trying to bite my foot FOR THE LOVE OF YGGDRASSIL WOULD YOU STOP THAT! Anyways... I'm not the only one here as many other digimon had their own cages, seems we're somewhere in Old Terminus, I'll do my best to keep you updated but for now I have to remain silent"
Eleonora stood looking at the screen with a completely dumbfounded, how can it be that whenever she leaves the little ball of metal on his own he gets in bigger troubles than actually helping? And now she has too look for him and the other digimon kidnapped and her only clue is that they're somewhere in Old Terminus and god only knows what Old Terminus is.
"Did you hear that, right?" She slowly raised her eyes to look at Akemi and Anzu "I don't want you guys to get involve in my troubles but I have no idea where Old Terminus is nor where to start looking, so I'd really appreciate your help looking for my friend and rescuing the other digimon captured, will you lend me a hand?"

"Every little bit can go a long way." Akemi told Leo. There weren't any generals in the council, sure, but helping one start out? Definitely a free source of more tales that outline how this stuff worked. Anyways, back to the cards themselves. "Then at present, you can only use the cards you have that are bronze and silver. The starter pack works no matter what level you're at, though. So keep that in mind. Um...I can go buy you a pack if you wa--"
That was interrupted by Kamina calling. "Wow, he...sure sounds like he's having fun." Anzu replied, the sarcasm dripping from her tone of voice. "We heard it, yes..." Akemi told Leo, thinking for a few moments. Anzu, of course, knew her stuff at the very least. "Underneath Terminus. There's a bunch of entrances, but...I don't know if we have one near us."
"We'll help. Sounds like your friend got wrapped up in some shady business, so...we're gonna try helping out where we can." Akemi nodded towards Leo, before Anzu once more interjected. "You mean we can help out the entire way, right?"

Eleonora nodded as Akemi explain that as of now she can only use the ones labeled as bronze and silver with the starter pack been able to use it at any level, luckily the only one card she can't use right now is Death's Lure which was a shame to be honest but not a big lost in the end, surely she'll get to use it in the future.
"Worst this is the second time he goes to do something by himself and something bad happens" The blonde sighed after hearing the sarcastic comment of Tsukaimon "I might need to get a leash on him"
So Old Terminus was underground? But no near entrances and even if they had one that doesn't mean that finding Kamina was going to be easy without a clue to what part of Old Terminus he's been taking, they're definitely not in a good situation to help with so little clues, the gears then had a suggestion that actually might help
"Since we do not have any clues, we suggest going to where Kamina was suppose to go" "If there was a fight, then we might get a clue as to where he could have been taken" "We know where the mercenary guild is, please follow us"
The German made a bow and thanked Akemi and Anzu for the help and then follow the gears, the group walked through the digital city there wasn't much to notice until they turn on an alleyway, the place was a little dark but it was enough to see the signs of a albeit short fight, mainly claw marks and soot in the wall, there were also white feathers on the ground.
"Well, this kind of gives an answer I guess" Whatever a Harpymon is seems to have pretty strong claws
"Worst of all is that the Mercenary Guild is a pair of blocks away from here" "They might not have hear the fight"
While the group took a look at the scene a small metallic sound could be hear behind them, if they take a look they'll a Terriermon peeking from inside a trash can, but once the eyes were on him the little digimon hid inside once again

"Wait, you're being serious?" Anzu's expression itself grew a tad more dour. "Maybe you should put something to keep track of him. Or send some company. That aside, a leash is a great investment. But also, we need to go save him." The accursed bean gave several nods. Akemi felt like the gears were on to the same train of thought that she was.
"Yeah, if this happened near the Mercenary Guild, then maybe there's an entrance near there."
As they proceeded through those few blocks, and got to the scene, they noticed some clues right away. White feathers and claw marks...On the noise from the trash can, Anzu immediately got jumpy, to put it lightly. "Hey! Come out with your hands in the air and maybe I won't end your entire career with just one sentence!"

"Sadly I am serious, definitely need to stop letting him go alone, my fault to trust that he'll behave" Eleonora sighed, while this was the second time, the German fears it'll be an every day thing.
It was nice to see that Akemi had the same idea as the gears, definitely glad that she's with them surely the pair will be able to help them, god knows Eleonora would have to really think outside of the box to make a "prison break" only with the gears, they might end up kidnapped too.
Speaking of the Terriermon in the trash can, he thought he hide in time and was not spotted too bad was the complete opposite and the bean was threatening to end his career! That was enough to make him want to get out of the trash can, moving a little inside he made it fall and the little dog-bunny roll in the ground until be in front of Akemi and Anzu, he put a really small guitar in front of them and raise his hands and ears
"Please miss don't end my career, I have yet to tell a story as a bard" Terriermon said almost crying "I was hiding in case the evil bird woman came back!"
Evil bird woman? Was that Harpymon? For now it'll be best if Akemi and the bean take care of talking with the little digimon, meanwhile Leo focus on the other clues, the feathers made a trail that Leo decide to follow leaving Hagurumon X with Akemi while Solarmon X follow her hoping they'll find something by following the trail
