Kazu hesitantly swiped his digivice over the scanner in front of the closed platform. This platform had been shut down for... actually, he couldn't remember it ever being open and the general consensus was that it was abandoned people had basically given up on ever getting it renovated. Sure enough, however, the scanner beeped affirmatively in response to his digivice and the entryway opened before him. Shrugging it off, he stepped through and walked onto the platform.
"As I said, this platform is the gateway between this world and the Digital World," Dux reminded him from where he had appeared at Kazu's heel, startling the teenager. "It is highly unlikely to ever be closed barring exceptional circumstances," he explained calmly, ignoring Kazu's visible surprise.
"Aren't you meant to be hiding?" he asked with a touch of reproach in his voice. Dux, currently lacking a holosuit, had been taking advantage of his natural agility to dart between hiding spots as he followed Kazu through the terminal. While Kazu had been aware of his presence, he had also grown used to the Impmon stealthily following at a short distance and hadn't been prepared for him to suddenly draw in close and come out in the open.
"This terminal can typically only be accessed by digimon and humans who are already aware of the existence of digimon," he pointed out dryly. "Of course, I am happy to continue following from the shadows if that would make you feel more comfortable. It could certainly be useful for you to present yourself as being without protection, so that we could ambush any foolish enough to try and prey on you," he suggested. Kazu wasn't entirely sure if his tone was meant to be sardonic or hopeful and elected to ignore it.
"Sure, sure, let's just go," he said dismissively, continuing onto the platform. He reflected that he was being uncharacteristically hasty, literally jumping into an entire new world just days after meeting Dux and learning of the existence of digimon. Yet he couldn't deny, this seemed like too valuable an opportunity to pass up. He had been struggling for years to find some meaningful purpose, something that would let him make an impact on the world. Now he had a chance to make an impact on two worlds.
"As you say, Master Kazuya," Dux responded, following close behind.

Back at her apartment Kazumi was just finished packing for a trip to the Digital World. Then the red headed xros general turned to her assembled partners. Her primary partner, a Vemmon, asked "Y-You ready to go, Kazumi?"
"I sure am. Though I hope we won't have to spend time avoiding an evil swarm of digimon." Kazumi said thinking back on some of their previous adventures.
"Oh come on, Kazumi. We haven't run into too much trouble lately." Hudiemon said from her spot sitting on the sofa her butterfly wings stretched out comfortably.
"And I think our general wishes it to stay that way. Unfortunately, as I have been a warrior for multiple lives, I know lulls like this aren't a guarantee and I have always enjoyed them." Yuki, a BlackAeroAgumon, said calmly her tone radiating the wisdom an older digimon like herself possessed.
"Relax, Yuki. We both know Hudiemon means no harm. So is everybody ready to go?" Kazumi asked and Vemmon, Hudiemon, Dorulumon, Yuki, Shadow, a blind Gaomon, Lalamon, and Koko who was a Komondomon and the only member of Kazumi's army who used a holosuit and disguised herself as a black pug since in their true form they were a digimon much too large to fit in the average apartment.
Kazumi then held up her Xros Loader and each of her partners disappeared within it. Then Kazumi placed on her backpack and headed out of the apartment and made her way to the station. Upon reaching it and making her way to the platform Vemmon spoke up from within the Xros Loader. "K-Kazumi, I sense a digimon nearby."
Kazumi looked up and saw a teenage male and looked near him seeing what looked like an Imp lurking nearby but it was likely the young man's partner digimon. Deciding to introduce herself she approached and said "Hello there. Are you lost?"

Yume was packing a bag On a Trip, To the terminal, With Sakura, a Now rookie formed Rinimon Walking to her."Are you ready to Go Yet Yume, You know i can't Sit for any longer!"Sakura said excited. Yume Putting the last of an item in her bag."Okay we're Ready to go!"Yume said. Sakura smiled."YAY!"The Winged eared Rabbit Digimon said happily. Since Sakura doesn't have a Holosuit, She let's everyone think she's a Stuffed animal.
Yume left the family Cafe and headed to the Train station. The girls headed into the train station and once they arrived on the platform, and saw a Young man, With an Impish creature and a Girl standing there and she stood there, With sakura looked up at her partner with a quizzical look, and then looked at Them.

Kazu and Dux turned to look at the woman who addressed them, the latter taking a small step to put himself in between the two without directly blocking Kazu's path. "Oh, no, not really. I'm just looking for a train to-" Kazu cut himself off in mid-sentence as he took a closer look at her. She didn't have any partners with her that he could see, although that didn't necessarily mean anything. It was possible that there was another digimon hiding somewhere nearby as Dux had been. Or for all he knew, maybe she was a digimon in a holosuit. Nevertheless, he was hesitant to tell a stranger that he was looking for a train to another world. "-to Dux's home," he finished, gesturing to the digimon. The woman didn't seem to have reacted to his presence but it was possible she had mistaken him for a child in costume. His pause had been long enough to be noticeable but assuming she did know about Dux's true nature, she would hopefully understand his hesitation.
As he was thinking on this, he noticed a young girl entering the platform, holding a white and silver rabbit-like creature. It could certainly be just a stuffed toy but it certainly seemed enough like a digimon to draw his interest. "Hey there," he called out to her, raising a hand in greeting. "You looking for the train too?" he asked. He glanced between the woman and the young girl, giving a genial smile. "I'm Kazu, by the way, and like I said, this is Dux," he introduced them, once again gesturing to his grim partner.
"A pleasure, I'm sure," he drawled, his tone clearly conveying that he was in no way expecting it to be a pleasure. Kazu winced, remembering that Dux's voice and overall mannerisms did not help the illusion that he was a child in costume.

Kazumi saw the small Imp digimon move as if protecting him and she, in a calm voice, said "Take it easy. I mean you no harm. My partners and I were heading for the Digital World just as I assume you two are planning to do."
A gentle tapping from Vemmon's claws on the screen of the Xros Loader caught the goggle wearing woman's attention and she looked down at her Xros Loader when Vemmon's soft spoken but polite tone was heard as he said "K-Kazumi I sense another digimon coming."
Kazumi then turned seeing a young girl carrying a small rabbit creature in her arms and they were staring at them understandably puzzled. "Hi there." Kazumi said to the small girl and her partner before glancing at Kazu when he introduced himself and his partner. "Hello, Kazu. Dux. My name is Kazumi and these...." she said holding up her Xros Loader before the screen glowed shortly before her partners appeared one by one. Koko being very large had appeared a bit away from the group so no one felt crowded. Dorulumon didn't seem all that thrilled to be below ground due to his claustrophobia but seemed to be otherwise all right. "These are my partners Vemmon, Dorulumon, Hudiemon." she then pointed to Yuki the BlackAeroAgumon, who was a BlackAgumon variant with light weight metallic wings resembling bird wings, before she continued still gesturing to her remaining partners as she said "This is Yuki, Shadow, Lalamon, and Koko." The blind Gaomon, Shadow, nodded to acknowledge everyone from where he stood not far from Lalamon.
"Oh and don't be scared of Vemmon. He may look intimidating but he is very well mannered for a little guy who is partially feral." Hudiemon said her butterfly wings fluttering happily but didn't lift the butterfly woman off the ground.

Yume looked at thr guy and then at the girl."Hiya, and i am looking for the train."She said. Sakura frowned. the auburn haired girl eyes sparkled at the digimon."You all look soo awesome!"Yume said. She she realized she was supposed to introduce herself and her partner. "Oh and i'm Yume! and this is my partner Sakura."Yume said. Sakura looked at each of the digimon with an wary glance."don't try to do anything that could hurt my partner."Sakura said.
Sakura put down Sakura and sighed, Her partner is protective of her and Yume knows that when her partner is like that, she can be a bit of an handful as long as no one, does anything wrong. "They won't hurt me, sakura just be nice."Yume asked. Sakura ears twitched a bit and she nodded while releasing a small sigh.
"Fine, but if they hurt you i will not be nice."The rabbit-like digimon said. Sakura and Yume went close to the group."sorry about sakura, it's just because i'm new to being a tamer, She is protective over me."Yume said with a small chuckle. Sakura looked at Yuki."You resemble an Blackagumon, but you have wings."Sakura said looking surprised.

Kazu was relieved to find that the woman, Kazumi, was aware of the Digital World but he was taken aback when Kazumi used a device clearly different than his own digivice to release a small horde of digimon. He had assumed that the partnership between humans and digimon was typically a one-on-one deal, or perhaps one-on-two in either direction, but having six partners was beyond what he had expected. He also noticed that many of them seemed to go by their species name rather than a more distinctive appellation. Hudiemon's comment that Vemmon was partially feral seemed a touch alarming, and he noticed Dux turning to face the relevant digimon more directly, but his attention was soon drawn to Yume's more excited greeting.
Dux briefly puffed up at the girl's evident admiration but his eyes narrowed in response to Sakura's warning. "Master Kazuya has greater concerns than the welfare of children. Rest assured, however, that if he meant your partner harm, there would be little you could do about it," he shot back stiffly. Kazu, eyes widening, quickly put a hand on Dux's shoulder as if to hold him back though the digimon didn't visibly react.
"Woah, let's keep calm," he admonished his partner hastily before looking back at Yume, chuckling awkwardly. "No worries, I'm pretty new at this myself and I can relate to having difficulties with your partner's more aggressive quirks at times," he admitted in what he hoped was a disarming tone of voice. That got a reaction from Dux, who gave him a sideways glance, his mouth curling into a minute frown.
"I apologize, Master Kazuya. I failed to realize that maintaining a position of strength on your behalf discomfited you. Shall I endeavor to appear more feeble and ineffectual so as to avoid provoking any other small children?" he asked and this time there was no mistaking the sardonic irritation in his tone. While Kazu had initially been glad when Dux's blind devotion seemed to wane slightly in the time since they had met, he wasn't sure he was crazy about the passive aggressive obsequiousness that replaced it.

It seemed that both Kazu and Yume were unfamiliar with Xros Generals judging by their reactions. So Vemmon in an effort to show the wary Kazu he meant no harm stepped forward and said "T-There is a good reason for Kazumi to have so many partners and t-that is the fact that she is a form of tamer called a Xros General. X-Xros Generals fight with a large group of digimon that achieve digivolution through the process of a Digi Xros. A D-Digi Xros is where two or more digimon merge together to form a stronger digimon to fight and h-having so many partners means a general has multiple options to work with at any given time."
Though it seemed the Impmon X was not concerned with Yume Lalamon floated over to Sakura and the gentle plant digimon said "Don't worry. None of us mean any harm to your partner." Her voice was calm and soothing hoping to reach the bunny like digimon and calm her down. At least Yume didn't seem freaked out.
Yuki chuckled at the young girl and said "Well my wings I think happened when I was killed in my last life. It seems some of my data got a bit scrambled in the process of being reborn and I picked up the wings that are just as resilient as the armor I used to wear as BlackWarGreymon."
"So you both are new tamers? That explains why you don't know anything about Xros Generals." Kazumi said bringing out her Xros Loader holding it out to show the two tamers.

Yume listened closely."So what you mean is like a fusion right and an Xros general sounds like a big job!"She said. She now amired Kuzumi and smiled a bit, but looked at vemmon and she thought the alien-like digimon was shy."ummm, You ok?"She asked. Sakura seemed to calm down at the first part of what dux said, but when he said there's little she could do about she Seemed a bit ticked off."I will do something about it, if you do."She said strenly. Yume was about to intervene, because doesn't want anyone to fight, because she doesn't like fights, but the lalamon came over to the rabbit digimon."That's good, Can i call you lala?"Sakura asked.
Yume looked surprised at the Aeroagumon."Seriously? Your last life had wings?!?!"Yume asked curiously and surprised. She looked again back at kazumi and saw her take out a device that looks different from both hers and kazu's."Oh that looks like my D-3 But different!"She said. She took her D-3, Which was cyan.

Kazu listened to Vemmon's explanation of Xros Generals with interest. It wasn't a concept that had been explained to him previously, nor had he considered it a possibility that multiple digimon could merge together. He hazarded a guess that Xros Generals lacked the ability to help their individual partners reach higher levels without merging, the way he could apparently help Dux, but the additional numbers of both partners and possible higher forms could certainly make up for that.
Kazu was also relieved to find that Vemmon did not appear to be at all violent as Hudiemon had implied, in truth seeming rather nervous and shy. Dux also lowered his guard slightly, dismissing him as a likely threat and clearly unimpressed by his stuttering. He briefly turned more of his attention to Sakura but merely sniffed haughtily at her irritation, unwilling to give any further response when Kazuya had clearly expressed a wish for him to avoid provoking her further. Kazu considered intervening there again but Lalamon seemed to beat him to it and Dux seemed more interested in Yuki's comment.
"Your data was scrambled, you say?" he asked in a tone of polite curiosity. "Did this merely alter your form or were there other effects? My previous life ended quite violently and as a result, I have very few clear memories of that time," he admitted. It admittedly bothered him that he had been unable to give Kazuya clear answers to some of his questions, especially when he had the strongest sense that he had known the answers in his past life, an infuriating sense of déja vu that consistently failed to crystallize into firmer knowledge. He suspected that his Rookie form had changed but couldn't quite recall what he had been before Oryxmon previously.
"Yeah, I only met Dux here a few days ago," Kazu confirmed in response to Kazumi's question. "Luckily, I bumped into a couple of friendly digimon at the same time who were able to fill me in on a few details that Dux wasn't sure of but we didn't exactly go into a comprehensive study," he admitted bashfully. When Kazumi presented her Xros Loader and Yume responded with her D-3, he took their cue and presented his grey and white Digivice iC. "Yeah, mine looks a bit different too," he observed, comparing the three. He wasn't sure exactly what the differences in function were, particularly between his and Yume's since Kazumi's presumably had to do with merging her partners, but he liked that his was smaller than the other two. It made it easier to carry around.

"It is a big job indeed." Kazumi said before looking out at her assembled partners before she said "And to think I have more partners to recruit still. I'm glad everyone I met so far has helped in their own way which makes my job as a general easier."
When Yume asked if Vemmon was okay the alien like bug looked at her and said "I'm f-fine. I j-just have always had a mild speech impediment. I am f-far from a shy digimon though."
"Vemmon is probably one of the most extroverted members of this army other than maybe Koko, Hudiemon, and Yuki that is." Shadow said helping Vemmon out as it seemed that they interpreted the soft spoken hacker to be shy. It was likely due to him also having a mild stutter on top of his soft spoken voice that such a misunderstanding was made.
Lalamon didn't seem put of by Sakura in the slightest and when Yume asked if she could call her Lala the gentle plant digimon said "That would be fine with me, Yume."
Then when Yume asked if Yuki's last life had wings the BlackAeroAgumon shook her head before she said "Not exactly. More like I used to where a shield on my back that spread out like wings allowing me to fly." She then looked at her wings before she smiled and said "One thing I didn't expect was the armor to take new form in the way of wings. Not to mention I became a brand new variant of BlackAgumon as a result called BlackAeroAgumon."
"The scrambling of my data doesn't seem to have had any negative effects as I only became a new kind of digimon in the process of digivolving to rookie. As for your memories, Dux, it is true digimon rarely remember their past lives so what little you do have must be important."
"I keep forgetting not all digimon are as unique as you Yuki. You're lucky to have remembered all of your previous lives and can draw upon the wisdom you gained in your previous lives to help not just yourself but others." Hudiemon said.
"It is a good thing there are digimon that tend to be helpful even to total strangers. This tends to be a trait of digimon who have a relatively good upbringing. It's likely that couple of digimon had a strong sense of empathy towards others or were curious of you. Digimon, like humans, tend to be driven by their curiosity." Dorulumon said as he fidgeted a bit but seemed fine otherwise.
"I've noticed that while some digivices can look different they tend to have various features in common as well as some that are different. For example my Xros Loader has a built in feature to store digimon partners while other models have to have a similar function installed into them via some kind of upgrade. That and I can use the Xros Loader to select the digimon used in a Digi Xros." Kazumi said looking over the three digivices observing the differences between them.

Yume looked at Vemmon and sighed."Sorry, i just thought you was shy."Yume said. Sakursa can be a bit of an overprotective rabbit, but it was just make sure yume was safe but Sakura listened and she looked surprised at both dux and Yuki. "I don't remeber anything about my past life, nor why am i Yume's partner."Sakura said. she seemed now intrigued about yuki and dux."Hey, Can you guys tell me a bit about your past life?"She asked. Sakura leaped up."YES! Nickname for a new Friend!"Sakura said.
Yume giggled a bit and she looked at Yuki."Oh, so you became a new kind of digimon?"the auburn haired girl said. She looked at Kazumi's Xros Loader and then At kazu's IC Digivice."But What can mines and Kazu's Do?"She asked sounding a bit curiously. "I met sakura a Few weeks Ago, Along with some twins."Yume said.

Dux frowned slightly as Yuki revealed that she had never had trouble accessing her past lives' memories, meaning she couldn't offer him any advice on how to regain his own. "I see. A pity, but you are correct. The memories I have are what set me on the path to entering Master Kazuya's service and made me into the digimon I am today," he acknowledged, thinking back wistfully on the sheer awe he had felt that last day of his previous life.
Kazu, knowing that the memories Dux cherished were far from what most people would think of as happy, tried to change the topic my responding to Dorulumon's comment. "Yeah, Kshin seemed to care a lot about his family. Things would have been awkward if not for him and Grace," he admitted. Unfortunately, Sakura's question about Dux and Yuki's past lives brought the topic back and Dux, being distressingly reasonable for once, didn't hesitate to answer.
"As I said, I have very few clear memories but I do recall that I was an Oryxmon who served as the protector of a small settlement in the Digital World," he began. "I recall very little in the way of specifics from that time, nor do I have any clear memories of the settlement itself bar how it ultimately fell. It was attacked by a digimon who had risen to power in the region, one who defeated me with ease," he explained, his voice taking on a reverent tone. "It is that memory, my final memory from that life, which has remained clear all this time and inspired me to pledge my service to one who could display the same force of will," he explained. All things considered, Kazu reflected, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. The others may pick up Dux's unusual admiration of his killer but he hadn't mentioned that he expected Kazu to become some sort of evil overlord himself. Once again, Kazu tried to move the conversation along before Dux dropped any more hints as to his more malevolent nature.
"Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what my digivice can do either," he admitted. "Dux was smaller when we met and this thing seemed to activate when he digivolved but it seemed to happen automatically. It certainly hasn't happened again since then," he said. In truth, he had tried to activate it a few times since, wondering if it could make Kazu digivolve further. While he wasn't entirely certain that giving the slightly twisted digimon access to a stronger form was wise, he hadn't been able to resist his curiosity, only for nothing to come of it. Dux had reminded him that he would likely achieve higher forms with time and experience but Kazu still felt a touch annoyed at the lack of immediate progress.

"It's o-okay. I c-can understand how anyone could think I was shy. B-Being naturally soft spoken not to mention my m-mild stutter one could easily draw that conclusion." Vemmon said to Yume before letting out a light chuckle.
As for Sakura she seemed happy about given permission to call Lalamon by the nickname of Lala. The girly little pink plant giggled as if caught up in Sakura's excitement. Yuki gently nodded before she, to Yume, said "Yes. Sometimes various circumstances can cause new species of digimon to be created. My last four lives I was species of digimon that are well known in the Digital World."
Kazumi looked at the digivices and said "I know that digivices make the process of digivolution easier but as for all the ways other models of digivices are different. I'm not sure."
Kazumi and her army looked at Dux as the Impmon X explained his last memories and it was heart wrenching. So his somewhat abrasive nature was likely a result of the trauma brought on by his last few moments of life. Hearing that at some level the group felt bad for Dux but judging by how Kazu seemed to be maybe his tamer would be good to help the digimon heal.
"F-From what I understand about digivices, even I am capable of digivolving on my own as I am K-Kazumi's first and primary partner in her army. T-The primary partner has the ability to one day jump to an ultimate form digimon but the others can only digivolve through t-the Digi Xros." Vemmon said adding his input to the conversation regarding digivices.

Yume sighed a bit, Clearly Feeling empathic for dux's sad past life and also his tone, Sakura was felt sorry as well, but she said this to dux as to confirm his intentions."So you wanted a partner, that was strong enough to make you stronger? Right dux?"The silver and white digimon asked. Sakura digimon Giggled a bit."Seriously? what are they, but if you don't wanna tell, it's okay!"Yume said happily.
Yume looked Surprised at vemmon."Seriously The xros loader and your army can do that?"She asked. She seemed curious at what her Digimon partner was going to Digi-volve into and then sighed."So, Your Saying That Different Digivices and allow digivolutions, but can do like different functions."She Asked Sounding somewhat a bit intellectual.
Yume was just listing and decided to say that, Just to get an answer for her theory for a quick second. She looked at her D-3 with a curious look and then puts the device in her bag, that she carries on her side.
