Caildrean fiddled with his pen as he glanced at the clock. Time seemed to drag. A sigh passed his lips. The bell blaringly signaled the end of the school day. Cail packed up his stuff and quietly walked out, careful to not bump into anyone else. The hallway was crowded as he crept up to his locker and to put away his things. Nothing seemed out the ordinary, Cail would go as far to say boring. The best thing about the end of the day is going to his parents arcade. As Cail started treking down the sidewalk he let out another sigh, this time it's in relief. He walked with the "current" of people to easily arrive at Shibuya Terminal and boarded the train to downtown Shibuya. When he arrived he visited a restaurant near by to eat. After eating he made it to his parents arcade. He spent hours here to him video games was a great way to get to know other people. At closing helped clean up before heading out go home. On the train he was only one in the cabin. Cail took this opportunity to take a quick nap. When he woke up the train had stopped so he looked up at the panel but couldn't read where he was, the letters was in a language he didn't know. He walked out of the cabin to see nothing but cliffs, sand, and a small town. The train drove off, Cail tries to catch it but it was already gone into the distance.

Traveling along on their way to Rustport was Mandrake and his little family group. The Wizardmon was driving what looked like a white vintage convertible of some kind. In the passenger seat was his boyfriend, a Leomon named Lothar. Lothar was casually staring out at the desert around them bored since other than the rarely spotted digimon there was little to see but sand and cactuses. In the back seat in what looked like some kind of car seat was their adopted son, a Dorimon by the name of Kshin. The kid had nodded off awhile ago after spending a good part of the day animatedly chattering about various subjects.
Then Mandrake picked up something curious nearby with his telepathy and glanced around in an attempt to pinpoint the mind he picked up which caught Lothar's attention. "What is it, Mandrake?" Lothar asked as he began looking around too.
Around the same time both of them spotted what looked like a human in his late teens and he was trying but not succeeding to chase down a Trailmon. Seeing as he appeared to be unfamiliar with the surroundings he had found himself in. "It seems someone unfamiliar with digimon has wound up in the Digital World, Lothar." Mandrake stated as he began slowing down.
Seeing what his boyfriend was up to, he said "You're planning on giving him a lift to Rustport, aren't you? Seeing as he looks like he is unfamiliar with digimon that would be a good idea since a new human in the desert alone is easy prey for feral digimon."
Mandrake nodded and pulled up near the human before he asked "Hello there. Would you like a ride to the nearby town?"

I'm still asleep. Cail tried pinching himself then cried out in pain. They're real. This can't be Tokyo. He straightened himself up, there is no reason to be rude. He scanned the big lion monster first. He looks terrifyingly cool. Then he looks over at the driver. And he's a wizard of some sort. Cail looked graciously at the guy with the hat. "Thank you." He walked to the back the car and let himself in. Cailean smiled at the purple baby monster sitting next to him. They're a family. He looked around a bit more. "My name is Cailean. Do you know where i am."

'Definitely new here judging by his reactions.' Mandrake thought as he and Lothar watched the stranger pinch himself to the point of crying out the noise waking Kshin the in training digimon's amber eyes slowly opening as he groggily looked around with a confused look on his face.
When the stranger said thank you before introducing himself and asking where they were, only confirming Mandrake's and Lothar's suspicions regarding him being new to the Digital World, Mandrake said "Think nothing of it, Cailean, since deserts don't always make for the best places to camp for the night. I am Mandrake and with me is my boyfriend, Lothar and our youngest son, Kshin. As for where you are you may find this hard to believe but you are in another world parallel to your Human World known as the Digital World."
Kshin looked at Cailean before he asked "What are you doing out here all alone?" Kshin was a mix of confusion and curiosity and it was plain on the young dragon's face.

The lost boy took a few deep breathes. The thought of not being in his own world would have sent him into a panic attack if it weren't for knowing how to somewhat control his emotions. "A pleasure meeting you both." Cailean looked at the in-training digimon. "And you too, Kshin."
Cailean's squished his face trying to remember when the young digimon curiously asked him about his current situation. "I was on my way home on that train. I fell asleep and woke up here." Cailean took another deep breath. "That's all I can remember. My parents are going to be worried if i don't come home soon."
Cailean turned his attention back to Mandrake and Lothar. "Are there ways to get me back to my world." He seemed a bit calmer now. He looked out into the distance to see nothing but sand and a strange creature that looked like a snake with wings flying near by.

Judging by the deep breaths that Cailean was taking he not exactly completely calm with the idea of being in another world and Mandrake couldn't blame him since not everyone would take ending up in a new world very well. When Cailean mentioned he fell asleep on a train Kshin piped up "Mandrake, it sounds like Cailean somehow found himself on a Trailmon but how? I thought not all humans were aware of the location that leads to them."
Could Cailean have a digivice of some kind? It was possible given he had somehow found himself on a Trailmon. When Cailean asked if there are ways to get back to his world, Mandrake said "Yes, Cailean there is. When we get to Rustport we might be able to find you a ride back to the Human World." Mandrake had begun sensing an unfamiliar mind with his telepathy but didn't panic to much since the Digital World, like the Human World, was full of life and a digimon being near was possible even if it wasn't always immediately visible since it wasn't uncommon for desert digimon to burrow under the sand.

The roar of the car engine settled Cail's anxiety. Listening to Kshin, Cailean began to display a puzzeled look onto his face. What is a Trailmon? I thought I was on a normal train. Cail realized that what he was just chasing was a Trailmon. His thoughts bubbled in his head. He sat up in his seat a bit to say "What, exactly, are you, Mandrake? What are all of you?" Cailean couldn't help but sound concerned. "I don't mean to insult any of you but i have to know." The wind pushed his hair back.
Cail reached into his pocket to pull out his phone. What is this? He pulled out an unknown item that sat on top of his phone. He analyzed it. "I'm a lot of you, I know but do any of you know what this is?" He said holding up the device. "I just found it in my pocket but i don't remember having one." The car was suddenly envoloped in light and when it deemed there was a black ball of fur sitting in Cailean's lap. "I'm Botamon."

At Cailean's concerned tone regarding his questions, Mandrake calmly said "Fair enough questions seeing as most humans aren't even aware of this world never mind its inhabitants. You see Caileen, the inhabitants of the Digital World are beings known as digimon. There are many different species. For example I am a species of digimon known as Wizardmon, Lothar is a species known as Leomon, and Kshin is a species known as Dorimon. As for the train you caught to get to the Digital World, it is a species known as Trailmon."
"Many digimon normally don't go by names instead going by their species name but I was told names started to become more common as digimon were exposed to humans." Kshin added.
When Cailean brought out the device from his pocket Lothar glanced back to look before speaking for the first time since Caileen got in the car. "Mandrake, he has a digivice."
Before Mandrake could respond he sensed another mind in the car before a bright light enveloped the car causing him to bring the car to a stop before turning around seeing the tiny black digimon that was now in Cailean's lap. It seemed Cailean was meant to be one of the humans to come to the Digital World and him finding the Trailmon was not completely accidental.

Mandrake was so polite answering his questions made Cail realize that digimon aren't any different than himself. The Digital World, huh. Okay, I can work with that. Cailean thought to himself. Mandrake and his family are cool digimon. He continued to ride his train of thought a bit longer.
The digimon looked up from his lap with a grin. "Hey Botamon, I'm Cailean." Botamon replied with "We are partners now. What do we do?" Cail scratched his head in confusion. "Well, I always wanted to protect and help others." Botamon bounced once before saying "Awesome I'm going to kick villainy's butt." Now Cailean was smiling. He cleared his throught before speaking. "How can i repay you guys?"

After hearing that Cailean wanted to protect and help others the little Botamon in his lap seemed on board with the idea as he bounced once before mentioning kicking villainy's but. Kshin giggled at the baby digimon's eagerness. When Cailean asked how he can repay Mandrake and his family, Mandrake said "Repaying us is hardly necessary as we help those in need. Besides with either evil or feral digimon who knows if a human like yourself would of survived the night." Mandrake then turned around and started the car again before he said "You might want to hang onto Botamon until we get to Rustport. It shouldn't be much farther now."
Mandrake began driving once again he and Lothar on alert for potential danger with Mandrake using his telepathy to sense for others and Lothar utilizing his excellent sense of hearing. Kshin was looking at Botamon before he said "I thought digimon hatched out of eggs but Botamon appeared in a flash of light."
"It was most likely that his egg appeared in Cailean's lap and hatched during the flash of light, Kshin, but with the Digital World many unusual things are possible." Mandrake theorized.
