One of the many benefits of having the ability to drive your home around is that you can go wherever you want whenever you want, Eleonora has been moving from place to place usually accompanied by Ayaka and Coolmon, tho this time she's on her own as her partner was away doing knight duties (whatever that means) so the German was moving to the Mainframe hills a place that is usually calm and relaxing, of course Leo told Aya she was going to be there in case the lilac knight needed something.
Once she parked the RV the German release the so they could also chill on the soft grass (or at the very least the giant drill mole and stubby dinosaur doggo could), with help of Kamina the blonde would move a small table and a chair outside, after that a small mini grill that Lagann the Solarmon X would help ignite and from there she would use the feeding program from the Xros Loader to make meat pop up on top of said grill, what better for a day of relaxation that a quickly improvised bbq?
"I'd assume you'll take care of it?" She asked to the Mamemon X
"OF COURSE! Count with me! This will be the best digibbq you'll ever taste as the flames of my passion will─"
"Yeah, yeah, just make sure it doesn't get burned"
With that said Kamina made a military salute and focus his sight on the grill, Leo on the other hand would sit on the chair near the table and read a book, lately she's been getting into studying the story of the digital world and their ancient stories, the demon lords may have seemingly disappeared but that doesn't mean she can lower her guard and not be ready for when another group of legends appear, whenever that happens she will be ready and won't act blindly or careless as the last time.

Uncertain as Aya always had been about the duties and missions she usually undertook, she always had faith that the people around her would trust her to come back eventually. And she always did.
Which puzzled the emerald scion that had been wandering the Hills in search of this mystical vehicle that, quite frankly, resembled something along the lines of what a hobo would drive. Doing what you did means that the people who love you should inherently trust you, right...? Wouldn't it scare you to go out knowing you might not come back?
The Guilmon adjusted her scarf as she wandered, a strange smell in the air...Wait, was that food? She figured she might as well check it out, it could be cool! And lo and behold, in no time at all, she found herself coming near a strange gathering...
She found herself pausing, staring. This matched up with the description she had been given of the mystical 'RV...' So...Could this be the place? Only one way to find out. There was one human. One that matched another description...
The Guilmon trotted over to her and tapped her shoulder. Lightly. She was at least cognizant of the fact that the German was reading a book at the moment, and she didn't want to serve as a BIG interruption...
"Um. Excuse me, are you one Fraulein Eleonora Schmidt?"

While half of the army play around in the grass and the other half make sure the food was getting well cooked and not burning Leo was immerse in her reading, as stated before the book was about digimon history or folk tales as with these creatures is hard to tell what is real and what is just a myth for them, but for someone that met a Demon Lord she's gonna take the story on this book as real.
The all so famous Royal Knights, how they came to be and a couple of their adventures of which that most likely be the folk tale part, in all honesty this sounded a lot like the Knights of the Round Table which it oddly made sense considering what she knows about Digimon so far and the thought that she could dedicate her "life" to this, read about the stories and mysteries and try to figure out if they were real or not? Of course she knows she has a more pressing objective to accomplished before thinking on her future.
A light tap on her shoulder took the German out of her thoughts, Fraulein? The blonde look at who was talking to her and saw a green Guilmon with a scarf around its neck, she took a quick glance at her army to see why nobody said anything and just saw Bork flipped over trying to stand back up, Kamina still looking at the grill as if his life depend on it, Boota digging some holes, but oddly enough no gears, for now it would be better to focus on her unexpected guest
"Yes, that's me" She said closing the book and looking at the Guilmon "How can I help you?"

There were a number of familiar things about the Guilmon, but namely how she wore her scarf--it was almost exactly like how Coolmon wore hers, except adjusted to befit a more saurian Digimon than a lapine. And it was true, she may have just stealthed her way through an army of bozos! But she was also kind of a bozo, and they were all doing their best here.
So, really, what was there to blame? The Guilmon quietly interlocked her claws together. This...-was- the person Coolmon told her to go find before she had went off...So why was it so hard to introduce herself?
"Uh...Um. My name's Gihai. It's very nice to finally meet you--Mom- ...Ayaka and Coolmon told me to go find you before they left. Can't really fathom why. Um. I'm really sorry if I'm interrupting anything..."
She swore she had an idea of what to say! She really did! It's just that the moment she actually started talking to Eleonora, her whole idea just fell apart. Gihai wasn't sure what she was expecting but it still caught her off-guard.

The German look at the digimon who seemed to be a bit nervous for some reason, tho she had to admit she looked cute in a way how she interlocked her claws, and then the bomb came, whatever Gihai said after "Mom" didn't register for the blonde went completely blank trying to process what she just hear, while Eleonora finally caught up that Aya and Coolmon sent her she relax a bit but there was still the "mom" part.
"Oh don't worry, you're not interrupting anything, come on take a sit" She offer before going inside and taking another chair out and then fixing the flipped over Gaossmon who follow the German to meet the visit and started sniffling it "Don't worry he doesn't bite... Well he does but not unprovoked" She said reassuring the Guilmon "Now, let's back up a bit because I may not look like it, but I'm not the sharpest tool out here" She giggle "What did you meant by mom?"
Once that was clarified the German would be more relaxed and offer a glass of water to the Guilmon, if she's a friend of Aya she's totally a friend of hers and the army and if they told her to find Leo there must be a good reason for it, if there's one thing Leo knows for sure is to trust on Aya's judgement.

Gihai had not even intended to say 'mom,' to note. It was merely a slip of the tongue. She did basically consider Aya her mother at this point, and to an extent, she likely could've assumed the same of Eleonora. Except...Gihai didn't know Leo!
She peered towards Bork...and went to give the shortboi a few pats. "Hi, I'm Gihai." She whispered to the small. She hopped up into the offered chair, tail curling up. "...I dunno. You look kind of sharp. Plus, I also bite! Anyways. I was trying to say Aya sent me but I think something slipped--she and Coolmon were...basically my parents for the duration of me studying under Coolmon..."
The Guilmon peered towards the glass of water, and after a few seconds of reluctance, accepted it. Drimk liquids....It was doing quite a bit to get the Guilmon to relax--she legitimately did not know how long she had been wandering the hills, but she did, inevitably, find what she was looking for. And it seemed like nobody here wanted to stab her...So that's good.

OK now that the Guilmon has explain herself it all make sense, if she considered Aya her mother in a way that makes Leo hers too by association tho it was still a bit awkward to think about it, well meeting her "daughter" was not what the German expected of this day but it's a pleasant surprise to say the least, the first thing she'd have to do would be to help her feel at ease.
"Well in that case welcome to the family" Leo said before whistling and calling the army "Let me introduce you to the group so you can feel more welcomed, this is Bork" The German picked up and put the Gaossmon on the table "He likes feeling tall, over there the big Drimogemon is Boota"
The drill mole got closer and like Bork sniff Gihai and then roll around belly up asking for belly rubs , despite it's looks Boota was just a big pup, next online was the Mamemon X who stop looking at the food for a second to introduce himself.
"Listen closely for I am the greatest hero on this side of the digital world, the one and only the almighty Kamina! Brave warrior who helps anyone in need and fights the evildoers that are in h─"
"Hero, the food"
"Right! Pleased to meet you lady" And like that he went back at his grilling duties
"We have returned to inform"
"That there are no enemies nearby" The gears finally shown themselves apearing from behind the RV
"There you are guys! Say hi Gihai our new friend"
"Greetings, I am Hagurumon X codename Gurren"
"And I am Solarmon X codename Lagann"
"We are the core partners of this army"
"Happy to make your acquaintance"
"As you can see the whole group is a bit odd, but I promise you we are better than what we look like you can trust us as you trust Aya and Coolmon!" Leo smiled proudly and nodded to herself "While we wait for the food why don't you tell us something about you? We can share stories and get to know each other better, feel free to ask anything too!"

Did she manage to explain it better? The Guilmon was uncertain for a bit, fidgeting in her seat. Welcome to the-...O-Oh. Gihai's ears perked up at the whistle, staring at the German. Before she moved her attention to the Gaossmon on the table. She once more reached out to pat the shortboy. "Hi, Bork."
"Boota." She was repeating every team member's names for the sake of memorization--it wasn't tied to anything with the Guilmon specifically. It was just...how she operated, how she did things, if that made sense.
"Kamina...Gurren...Lagann..." Something sounded familiar about all of these names, like a specific piece of media that Coolmon left on for her all the time for some weird reason...Hmmm...
It was probably nothing, but wow, the army sure liked manliness and drills! Regardless, she had to tell them something about herself now--which, truth be told? Fair. That was pretty fair. "Uh...I like woodcarving. Most of my attacks are corrosive in nature, I usually try staying out of trouble so people don't need to fuss over me or anything..."
She trailed off, but a thought soon came.
"How did you end up meeting?" One for the army. "...And how'd you meet Aya and Coolmon?" And one for Eleonora.

OK that was a start, now they know a hobby and the nature of her attacks, it was not exactly what the German expected but she'd be lying if she said she didn't understand how Gihai might be feeling, it's not easy to get close to a stranger and say you're her daughter and while silly the army could be a bit intimidating too, well they'll just need to take baby steps until the Guilmon feels confortable, now it was time to answer her questions
"I'll be honest I don't fully remember how I met those two, I think they found me instead of the other way around" She said pointing at the gears
"That is correct, professor Schmidt gave us the Xros Loader and task us to find a general with the ability to realize the true potential of the DigiXros"
"It was rather lucky that we found our General just as she arrive in the digital world, it was clear she was a 100% match to the descriptions of Professor Schmidt"
"Since then we have walked across the digital world in search of candidate that are able to Xros with us"
"The reason for this is not only to try and understand the DigiXros but at the same time fight the Decode Network"
Yeah on things that Leo forgot and feels guilty for being losing time, the Decode Network and discovering what power lies on the DigiXros, she should definitely get to do that again who knows what that group could be working on as she wastes time idle still trying to grasp some kind of normality after what happened in the forest
"As for me!" The Mamemon X interrupted "I was there when the fight against our arch nemesis the Decode Network began, there was this scientist running experiments with regular digimon to bring out the potential of the X antibody, I was one of said experiments and sadly the forceful awakening of said antybody leave my body weaker but at the same time made me a perfect target for a DigiXros, so on that fateful day that we crossed path not only the Red Bomber Metal Mamemon was born but also the Brave Heart Army!" With all that out of the way he went back to cooking duties
Eleonora sighed as Kamina finish his speech at least this time he kept it short, after that Leo would explain how they met Bork and Boota rescuing them from a group of digimon kidnappers, and now the tough and weird story, how did she met Aya and Coolmon, well considering the whole lot exposition the poor Guilmon just recieve the blonde opted for a better way to drop this story
"First, do you need something? More water? And secondly I don't want to overwhelm you with details unless you want it, so I'll let you choose, there's a short answer literally one word, or the long answer with the big details"

"Coolmon's told me that that can happen sometimes. Just...people getting stranded in this world and their partners finding them. I think I'd be terrified if I wound up in a place that might be considered alien and found by robots." This was speaking as if Gihai wasn't probably considered an alien herself, after all.
"...Oh, they have the same surname. A family member?" The emerald lizard asked aloud as the gears began their part of the story. Of course the whole purpose of a Xros Army seemed to be to find viable ways to grow in strength, in power, and as individuals, but it seemed like a ton of work compared to...whatever it was she was doing.
Also there was Kamina's speech. Uh. There's a really polite way to put this, but Gihai found it genuinely impossible to pay attention. Well, full attention. She caught the most important portions of the speech. Decode Network. Scientist running experiments to try drawing out the X Antibody...Huh. Red Bomber...Formation of the army proper...
"...Both of those sound awful. Both the network and the scientist. I really hope someone gave them the what for--I don't...know why that rubs me the wrong way so badly." There was also the story of how Leo, some midget and some dumb bean saved Boota and Bork...
Neato.
"I wanna hear the long version--If you're going to tell the story, I believe you should either go hard, or go home."
A challenge.
Would Eleonora take it?

The Guilmon was right suddenly popping out of nowhere in an alien world full of monsters might've been a scary experience but fortunately the German has little to no recollection about it, another thing Gihai was right about is that there's a relationship between the Professor Schmidt and Eleonora, that man was her father and the reason she ended up in this place, well not in the digital world but what made her move to Japan in first place! "Yes, that's right, here take a look" Said the blonde showing her necklace to the Guilmon and opening the locket to show her a little picture inside "I'm sure I'll see him soon, I just need to sort stuff out before getting to it"
That aside it was long story time, to be honest her memories of what happen on that forest are a bit more clear now than back in the day but still not everything is as clear as water, well it is important for the context of how they met so here goes! "Alright, first I gotta share a different story, think of it as a prologue and it's important for context" The German took a deep breath and got ready to tell the story "So me and the two gears took a small job, I was just starting this whole Xros General thing and needed to get use to this world and the money is always nice! It was simple escort a girl deep in the woods to pick some flowers, two other person were there with me but I have a really hard time trying to remember them aside from their names" The good news is that she was sure both Tsukiko and Hiroyo were fine "Here's the thing the girl we were escorting turn out to be THE Demon Lord of Lust Lilithmon" She made emphasis in "The" to make sure Gihai understood it was the real deal and not some mon claiming to be "And I did something stupid and she uh... "Killed" me""To give context she is not really dead"
"Or at least none of our test and analysis give the conclusion that she was dead
"But we lack equipment for a thorough examination, our best bet is
"That Lilithmon mess with her data in a way to make her believe she is not alive"
"We did manage to escape mostly unscratched thanks to the sacrifice of a Babamon"
"And then we met the three sacred angels and─"
"OK guys that's beside the point now, so after that some months passed and we recruited Kamina, I was searching through Tamernet and Aya was just starting her journey with Coolmon, I decided it was "smart" to warn her about the Server woods since I didn't know if Lilithmon would still be there and after a couple of days she was assigned a mission there and just to be sure I went along that things won't go south" And the rest as people say is history, the German is rather glad to have met Aya and have her in her life |

...The picture evoked a sense of nostalgia in the Guilmon as she stared at it. "Huh..." Why...was that? She never had anything like that that she could recall, yet...Why did she immediately identify this as a parent's love?
"I do hope you'll find him soon. You two look happy in that picture, and...I would hope it is preserved." There was no real way to make that sentence seem shorter, it was as heartfelt as one may assumed it was, even if Gihai had not known Eleonora for very long. Regardless. There was a story to listen to.
One that lined up with a lot of things that Aya had told her about this woman...Including the fact she had thrown a rock at AN ACTUAL Demon Lord. The literal moment Lust was mentioned, Gihai seemed to perk up in actual alarm, as if some sort of warning siren had gone off in her head.
And what Eleonora walked away with was a seemingly false death. It sounded as if she was alive and well, yet who could really prove that? Why? "...Aya told me about that. She was...quite nervous to ask you along, but...Given how fondly she speaks of you, I imagine she was quite happy to have had that trust pay off."
It was as if the Guilmon had decided something. "If ever you require the aid of a knight, as much of a wannabe as I am, then you'll have my claws."
Was this not a bit rushed...?

"I'm sure we'll see each other sooner or later, the digital world might be big but not infinite and we share a goal so our path will cross I'm sure of that" Said the German nodding
To be fair she would like to have the whole being "dead" thing sorted out before that happens so her memories of him are back and he can see the real Eleonora rather than the half baked mess she currently feels right now, that said it was nice to have Gihai sympathize with her and hoping they can meet in the future.
That aside Eleonora couldn't help but chuckle at the reaction of Gihai when she mention the "rock altercation" it's the usual reaction but it never stops being funny seeing them realize how dumb or brave (or both) the German is and that's something she's aware too so hearing Gihai saying that she can count on her for whatever it was extremely nice and warmed her heart.
"Glad to hear it, it would be weird if my daughter wouldn't stand out for me" Leo tease the green Guilmon "Seriously tho, thanks and same goes to you if you ever need something you have me and the gang on your back"
"WE SHALL PURSUE JUSTICE TOGETHER!" Kamina interjected jumping on the table with a plate full of the meat that was on the grill "And share a nice meal like true heroes on their round table! Bon apetit!"
"Yeah, that, feel yourself at home and eat as much as you like there's plenty of where that came from!"

"I mean, it could in theory just go on forever. Maybe not in one direction but perhaps another, and...I dunno. It's a big mystery even to those who dwell within it..." Gihai mused. Somehow, this vaguely deep subject was enough to get her brain's gears moving. And...it felt odd. It felt odd.
That word, though. Daughter... The Guilmon was quiet for a while, a few long moments, before she nodded. "...Thank you, mom." She felt a lot more certain about saying that than anything else. "I will endeavor to do my best to, then! For I...uh. I tend to end up working alone because not a lot of people seem to like putting up with me for very long. It's fine, though. I get to do my thing, they get to do theirs, so on so forth and all that."
The Guilmon peered to the offered meat upon the table, and decided it was probably polite to eat the food. However, she wasn't a fucking degenerate like some people, she actually was calm with how she approached the food, how she cut and eat it. She ate slowly. And that was really all there was to it. Because guess what, it's just. Fucking. Food. "Have you grilled before? This tastes pretty neat...!"
Granted, Gihai did not know where the Army sources their meat from. Why was that even a question. "Also...What sorts of things does an Army form into? I've heard so much yet I've never actually gotten an answer to the what and how of things..."

"Well that only means a never ending adventure, for better or worse" And as she said they share the same goal so sooner or later they'll meet for sure It was a bit awkward to be called mom but she can definitely get use to, it has a nice ring to it and family is family and the blonde won't turn her back after Aya and Coolmon already are Gihai's parent figure, that would be dumb and bad for their relationship! "Well too bad young lady" She said when Gihai mentioned working alone "We on the Brave Heart Army do things always together, we are family and you are now part of it!"As the group enjoy their meal the green Guilmon made a really good question, while she has been a general for a while it's quite hard to explain what an army does, she barely knows how it works so it would be better to make a quick demonstration so she picked Bork off the table and place it a couple of meters away from them, she then pull the Xros Loader and with the push of a couple of buttons a light surrounded the Gaossmon and Hagurumon X, said light turn into spheres and then join giving form to a new Digimon The newly form Greymon would roar and look down on the group wagging his tail, while clearly more ferocious and powerful it still retain certain traits from the stubby dinosaur that was in front of them seconds ago "This is known as Xros 2, it takes two of my partners and combines them to achieve what normal digimon know as "Adult" or "Champion" stage" The German explained "There are more combinations that grant even more powerful forms but I haven't been able to form them yet, not sure if it's because we lack partners or because we're not strong enough yet"
