When he heard the woman's voice coming from the position right besides his, he was a little startled, but managed to suppress any evidence of a reaction. Instead, he merely listened as she suggested that they waste no time in heading to whatever place the Kokuwamon's partner, ShadowToyAgumon may be located to render any aid necessary. After that, he nodded
"Indeed, i concur with that plan. So, once more unto the breach, o ye comrades of mine!! Forward march!!"
In response, the Kokuwamon emitted a series of beeping noises again while its eyes flashed alternating light, perhaps a sign that it was processing his words. After a few second or so, it responded
"Does not compute...does not compute...requesting clarification of directive."
Faustein sighed as he heard this, but since he realized they were not going to get anywhere with his theatrics, he decided to oblige the Kokuwamon and rephrased
"Let's not waste any time hanging around here. Take us to where your companion unit is located so that we may do whatever is possible to help it."
The Kokuwamon beeped again, and a spark of electricity jumped briefly between its two plug horns before it responded
"Directive acknowledged, this unit requests you organics to follow it to the destination."
Then, it turned around and started to walk ahead of them. Faustein quickly followed suit, keeping in step with the Kokuwamon easily due to his long legs.

Was he surprised? Probably was but with his expression such a thing was hard to tell. Though it seemed like she was sneaking, she wasn't. Her method of approach had long become a habit since she was a teenager and she had no idea why she still did it.
Though Kokuwamon seemed confused by the stranger's theatrics, Stacy just accepted that it was one of his strange quirks, like his thing about fluffy things or his desire to take gadgets apart. Before Stacy could explain things to the confused Kokuwamon, the stranger did so she didn't have to.
With a beep and a spark of electricity, the little digimon took off in what Stacy assumed was the direction of its sibling. She knew how she would feel if her brothers were in such a situation and would also do what she could to help them. Like the stranger, whom his name she still didn't know, she had long legs so keeping up wasn't a problem. It sure made up for her scrawny arms in some cases.

They had both been walking along as they followed the Kokuwamon to the intended destination when he realized that he still hadn't introduced himself to the woman. For that matter, neither had she made herself known to him, so he figured that now was as good a time as any to do that since they were going to be working together.
"Ah, right. By the way, people call me Faust, so you may as well, miss."
He mentioned and then paused for a few moments while collecting his thoughts. Then, he continued
"...you'll have to excuse me...I was never good with social graces, for some reason they keep disappearing from my cerebral database...but, hey at least I remembered to do it now, right?"
After that, he fell silent once more, but all the while, he hadn't stopped walking onward. As he did, he wondered what sort of unit the Kokuwamon had as its partner as well as what sort of challenge it would pose to him during his impending encounter with it.

Stacy was hoping things with Kokuwamon's sibling weren't so bad that nothing could be done. If the other digimon was also mechanical in nature, Stacy might be lost as to what to do but maybe not so much the white haired man she had been accompanying.
"Nice to meet you Faust. My name is Stacy. It seems that, judging by our names, neither of us are originally from Japan. As for not being good with social graces, as you say, I thought you were doing alright. Trust me I've known people who are worse when it comes to dealing with people so don't worry to much. Hey Kokuwamon, how much further is your sibling?"

He nodded in ackowledgement as he heard her give him her name in return for him doing so earlier. Then he replied
"Likewise, Stacy. Indeed, though in my case, I am more of a hybrid of sorts."
He was surprised though, to learn that she thought his manners were not lacking since usually people always tended to correct him about his obliviousness to social mores. Then she had asked the Kokuwamon leading them as to how much farther its companion unit was from their present location. The Kokuwamon emitted a few more beeping noises while more arcs of electricity jumped between its taser horns, asfter which it responded
"Remaining Distance: 0.25 miles."
As they moved on steadily, Faust looked about their new surroundings. Everything seemed to have a surreal mix of cyberpunk and steampunk elements, from the inhabitants to the buildings...heck, even the road they had been following till then. Still, since they had as much as a quarter of a mile left, he presumed they were somewhere in the outskirts of whatever destination they were being led to by the Kokuwamon. It took a while, but they finally made it to their final stop, where the alleged partner unit of their Kokuwamon guide was waiting for their aid. Upon arriving, the Kokuwamon emitted a series of beeping noises and once more, sparks flew between its plug horns before it spoke
"Destination reached...assistance target immediately ahead."
Sure enough, ahead of their location, there seemed to be what looked like a pile of lego blocks, the kind he used to play with during his childhood. THE Kokuwamon approached the pile of lego blocks, pointed at it, and elaborated
"Mission Objective: Reconstruction of ShadowToyAgumon"
After that, it fell silent and stood back, presumably to let Faust and Stacy near to check out its partner.

Stacy chuckled at the comment Faust made about being a hybrid and said "I sure know about being a hybrid myself being both European and a little bit of Native American. Then there's the business of me being able to become a digimon as well."
As she and Faust arrived in surreal and metallic town Stacy was amazed. Up until this point most of her adventures in the Digital World hardly involved many towns. The citizens also reflected the metallic vibe as well. "This is way different than the last town I was in." she muttered out loud.
Soon they reached their destination which seemed to be a pile of lego blocks though Kokuwamon confirmed that this was a digimon called ShadowToyAgumon. Stacy knelt down and picked up one of the pieces and said "This would be so much easier with instructions. Since I've never seen this species, I wouldn't know where to start." Judging by her facial features she was struggling to figure out the problem and then said "It's not that I haven't played with legos but that was a long time ago. I was more into dinosaurs."

He had hoped that she would be able to help him, but unfortunately that didn't turn out to be the case. Nevertheless, it couldn't be helped since she apparently had not encountered this species of Digimon before. That said, the comment she made about dinosaurs had caught his attention and given him an idea. So, he turned to the Kokuwamon and suggested
"Do you possess any data regarding the default appearance of your companion unit? Or better yet, a blueprint detailing the design schematics of this...ShadowToyAgumon, was it?"
In response, the Kokuwamon beeped a few more times and once the usual sparks had flown between its taser horns, it responded
"Affirmative. Display protocol engaged in response to request."
Then, it used what seemed like a small beam of electricity to etch a diagram of the ShadowToyAgumon into the metallic ground a few paces in front of them. As it did this, Faust's mental gears were whirring at full speed, taking in as much detail as he could from the slowly developing diagram. Finally, after several minutes, the diagram was at last finished for them to view at their leisure. Faust remarked
"Well now, this is intriguing...seems akin to a dinosaur, but just built with lego blocks instead of organic parts...I am looking forward to this, time to get excited, you guys!!"
Here, his mad scientist self reared its ugly head once more, causing him to have an unnerving glint in his eyes and a maniacal chuckle to issue from his thin lips which were contorted into a ear-splitting grin-smirk hybrid expression.

Stacy looked at Kokuwamon when Faust asked for a schematic of ShadowToyAgumon. As the image slowly took shape she said "A Lego dinosaur? In this crazy world I shouldn't be so surprised. Hmm. Looks kinda like a Tyrannosaurus Rex but with longer more developed arms." she then looked at Faust who had some weird smirk on his face. Picking up another piece she said "Hey Faust, now that we know what ShadowToyAgumon looks like I think if the three of us work together we can have the little guy on his feet in no time. I wonder what happened to him for him to be in such a state and why none of the townsfolk helped."

"Hmm? oh yes of course, we must help this poor specimen with all due haste. As to why it is in this present state and why no one else has helped it, that remains a mystery for now."
Saying thus, he picked up another of the lego-like blocks and after studying its shape for a few minutes, he looked toward the pile as well as the piece in Stacy's hand for a few more minutes. Finally, he studied the diagram that the Kokuwamon had inscribed onto the metal of the road before them. After that, he placed the block in his hand back onto the pile and sat down, cross legged and with his hands in his usual thinking posture. His hands formed a small circle with the fingertips of each hand touching their counterparts on the other and he had his eyes closed while in that state.
The Kokuwamon did not understand what was happening, so it inquired
"Query: What is Faust doing currently?"
Faust didn't reply and was silent for several more minutes until finally, he opened his eyes again. He started to take various pieces from the pile and then, he began arranging them into smaller heaps. Finally, when he was done, there were a total of 4 piles on the ground before them.

Stacy watched as Faust began sorting the pieces much like a person might do so when solving puzzles. Soon there were four piles around him. She then glanced at the diagram again then back at the piles. Looking at some of the pieces more closely she thought 'Those parts look like they would form ShadowToyAgumon's jaw and mouth.'
Kokuwamon seemed confused at Faust's action and that snapped Stacy out of her thoughts as she turned to him and said "It seems he is sorting the pieces to make your sibling easier to repair, Kokuwamon. Come to think of it, I think the idea is clever. Looks like ShadowToyAgumon will be up and running soon."

He smirked as he heard Stacy explaining the details of his plan to the Kokuwamon and nodded while remarking with a smug smirk on his lips
"Well done, I am glad to see I have such a quick study as an ally in you, Stacy. This will facilitate our execution of the task before us greatly."
After a few more minutes, he was finished with his sorting of the pieces, paused to look at his handiwork, and then dived right back into the reconstruction project, saying
"Right then, let's get back into the fray, shall we comrades? Stacy, you could handle the thoracoabodminal or body section pile...and Kokuwamon, you may finish the limbs and posterior aspect, or back part.. I will take care of the cephalic or head portion. Then, we can connect our particular subsections afterward to finish the final product. Sound good?"
After laying out the plan, he started assembling the parts for the ShadowToyAgumon's head. First, he connected the blocks forming the top of its head and then gradually worked his way down through the eyes and nose sections, followed by the upper and lower jaws. He finished off his portion by assembling the blocks forming its neck.

Stacy listened as Faust gave the instructions to rebuild ShadowToyAgumon and set to work on the stated area. Glancing every now and then and the schematic that Kokuwamon created she slowly and steadily placed each piece in place. As she worked she noticed that Faust had only looked at the schematic one time.
"Hmm. Possibly an eidetic memory. Sure would have saved me some stress in high school." she said out loud but not speaking to anyone in particular as she continued working. Gradually the body section pile became complete. Smiling at her work she said "Alright the thoracoabdominal section is complete, Faust. How are you and Kokuwamon fairing?"

He let out that same deep, rumbling chuckle from much earlier as his his sharp ears caught Stacy's speculative remark about his memory potentially being eidetic in nature before shaking his head and commenting
"Nothing of the sort, I assure you Stacy. I merely possess prodigiously perspicacious eyes and a markedly superlative intellect, albeit not eidetic in nature."
He elaborated with a smug, prideful smirk on his lips, all the while never once stopping work on his section. He paused to collect his thoughts before continuing
"That...and disassembly and subsequent reassembly of things is one of my favorite pasttimes...so that *might* just be another factor in this equation..."
As he said this, he raised one of his hands and rubbed his chin thoughtfully, as if stroking an imaginary beard like one of those stereotypical ancient sages. Then, he looked at his pile which was considerably smaller by now and at Kokuwamon's which looked like it was somewhere between that of his and Stacy in size before nodding
"Very good, kudos on your meteoric progress, Stacy. Kokuwamon is nearly finished as well, methinks. As for me, this last piece should be the coup de grâce."
No sooner than he had said this, he finished off the ShadowToyAgumon's head and neck piece and set the finished product on the floor next to Stacy's portion. Moments later, Kokuwamon finished its companion unit's four limbs and brought them over as well. Then, Faust took the liberty of connecting each part as per the diagram drawn by Kokuwamon and then all that remained was to turn the unit back on once more. Fortunately, here, the mysterious device in his pocket seemingly came to their aid once more since it started to emit a shrill beeping noise. Coincidentally, the ShadowToyAgumon came back online at the same time, emitting a chorus of whirring noises and beeping sounds.
"Booting unit's OS in 3...2...1...0. System boot up sequence completed successfully. Running analysis of unit software and hardware...analysis complete, no errors found in either component."
It announced in the same cold, robotic manner which the Kokuwamon had been displaying since their meeting. Here, Faust's mad scientist self resurfaced once more as he let out a rather loud, maniacal cackle while having his arms outstretched above his head and with a clearly deranged, ear-splitting grin on his thin lips
"IT'S ALIVE!!! ALIVE!!!"
Then, he let out that same evil-genius cackle a few more times before calming down for good. Meanwhile, Kokuwamon simply responded by emitting its own beeping noises and whirring sounds as well before remarking
"Response Protocol Activated: Welcome back, ShadowToyAgumon."
Then, it turned to Faust and Stacy and continued
"Execute: Gratitude Subroutine."
After this, it bent forward with its face pointing down to the floor...seemingly attempting to give them a bow of thanks. Then, it straightened up again after which the device in his pocket came to life yet again, rising out his pocket as before. Faust was not surprised this time, but instead watched with a visibly fascinated expression, as could be seen from his slightly parted lips and wide open crimson red eyes which were riveted on the events unfolding before him. The device rose up above both the Kokuwamon and the newly reconstructed ShadowToyAgumon and that electronic female voice issued forth again
"Digimon detected...Species A: Kokuwamon...Species B: ShadowToyAgumon...Xros Twin Partners found...now searching for compatible General...[/b]"
Then that same scanning light shot out of the device as it hovered in the air and swept the area for a few moments before finally settling on Faust again. Then it narrowed down to a laser like beam which rested directly on his chest pocket, and he felt that same stinging pain of a mild burn. Then, two more similar beams were emitted and hit both the Kokuwamon and the ShadowToyAgumon squarely on their chest sections and the electronic voice commented
"Compatible General found...preparing to establish binding link once more...in 3...2...1...0. Binding link establishment completed successfully. Welcome, user...state your name."
To that, Faust merely replied
"First Name: Faustein, Last Name: Kuroyakushi."
Once he did that, the red beams of light turned white, now almost looking solid though that was not really the case. The electronic voice chimed again
"Registration of Twin Core Xros General Faustein Kuroyakushi complete. Twin Partner A: Kokuwamon...Twin Partner B: ShadowToyAgumon. Congratulations and best of luck on your future endeavors."
The process seemed to be complete since the device turned off and fell into his outstretched hand at which point, he pocketed it while remarking with an impassive facial expression and in a matter-of-fact voice tone
"Well now, that was a rather amusing occurrence...I wonder what will happen next..."

Stacy chuckled at Faust's comment about intellect and said "Intellect doesn't always coincide with good memory, unfortunately. Believe me I should know considering I myself have an above average IQ."
Soon ShadowToyAgumon was rebuilt but that was when things got very interesting. When Faust's digivice floated into the air and lasers fired out connecting with him, Kokuwamon, and ShadowToyAgumon before landing in Faust's palm, Stacy could only say "How odd. That grand light show never happened with me. Maybe that's because it might not happen with a Spirit Wielder such as myself."
Shortly after Faust mentioned wondering what would happen next a loud sound like that of grinding treads caught her ears causing her to reach into her pocket and grab her D-Tector. Clutching it tightly in her left hand, she hoped what ever was coming was loud but friendly. They wouldn't have long to wait as a tank like digimon with guns for hands rolled into view.

" A Spirit Wielder? I see...good to know, Stacy. Someday, maybe you will regale me with the grand adventures which have led you to possess these Spirits you speak of." He had wondered what would happen next, and now it seemed like he got his wish. The sound of tank treads resounded through the air and in response, he saw Stacy grab her own device just in time to see a tank like digimon with guns for hands roll into view. " Organics detected...now searching for possible Digimon in the area." Declaring thus, the Tankmon swiveled its head from side to side looking for any targets until finally it landed on Kokuwamon and the recently reconstructed ShadowToyAgumon. As he saw this, Faustein now got that manic look in his eyes again and his arms and hands started moving as if they had a mind of their own, with his fingers wiggling in that same creepy fashion " Aha, another prime specimen, must dismantle...must dismantle...have to study..." Then, he started to move towards the Tankmon with that same crazed glint in his eye as before, making him look like a zombie. Fortunately, before he could get any further, the Tankmon fired a warning shot which landed and exploded right at Faust's feet, causing quite a loud, bright flash which snapped him out of his trance state quite sharply. He leaped back a few paces and was now on full alert once again with his crimson red eyes focused like lasers on the Tankmon Curses, I must be more careful with that quirk of mine...one more step and that attack could very well have killed me...Even as he thought this, his face remained impassive and inscrutable to all appearances. Before, he could do anything else, however Kokuwamon and ShadowToyAgumon raced towards him and took up a defensive position, clearly intending to guard him from further potential harm. The Kokuwamon spoke after emitting a series of beeping noises " Analyzing current situation...Analysis complete. Suggestion: General stays at a safe distance from the battle and provide tactical support." Faustein nodded and stepped back to Stacy's position and waited to see what the Tankmon would do next.
