Which way to the Digi-World? (Closed)

Post by Arika Ozaki on May 8, 2022 0:46:53 GMT
Arika Ozakiis getting in line to enter the train gate.
Hmm...Harmony looks like she hasn't learned how to walk well, but it's not like people would notice. Even if they did, they probably would think that she's some sort of handicapped person. It's a common thing, anyways, and looking at them all negatively is frowned upon, so there. So now, they're inside the station...
...where it's still pretty crowded, with people lining toward the gate. If Arika had to guess, the way to the Digital World is past the gate, but where afterward is the question. Maybe they have to access a secret doorway, or a fake wall like in that movie with the wizards. Ohhhh, this is just so exciting!
Arika took out her phone, and accessed the train pass app just to get it ready. "Hey, so uh...you guys know where we have to go, right?" she asked the siblings.

Takiyo Hirotais trying to figure out where to go, nexr.
This time, Taki kept a grip on Arika's arm (and kept away from her hand), as they entered the building with the crowd. So far so good, but now there's a big line toward the gate. It's moving a bit quickly, but still, it'll take some time. This is why you shouldn't go into subways in rush hour; people are rude and won't care if they bump into you. Not to mention, the lines.
But where do they have to go to enter this Digital World, he wondered. Kai wasn't specific about that little tidbit, as far as he's aware. But he's pretty sure that their Digivices are the keys to finding it...as well as the disguised Digimon siblings with them. Taki would ask them where they have to go, next, but Arika did that for him. Well, that makes it easier for him.

As Blackjack pulled Harmony she was getting a feeling that she was being watched and glanced over her shoulder to learn that, sure enough, Arika was watching her. Turning her gaze forward again she blushed furiously at the irritating reminder that Blackjack picked up bipedal locomotion fast leaving her still a bit wobbly by comparison. No matter what her brother said it was embarrassing but she said nothing even when Blackjack released his grip on her now that the group were at the station. Sure there still were a bunch of people but it was not as bad as before.
While Blackjack was looking around he heard Arika's question and said "Yeah. Harmony and I know the way and your digivices should let you find the secret entrance. From there we will be able to get on board a Trailmon."
Blackjack and Harmony stuck close to the new tamers so they wouldn't get swept away by the crowd while being cautious themselves. After all holosuits could be disrupted by enough damage to the disguise and the last thing the two softball sized disguised rookies needed was the hell that monsters suddenly appearing could raise.

Takiyo Hirotais trying to keep his Digimon under control.
"...Trailmon?" He figured his Digivice acts as a key, but...Trailmon...? As in a...Digimon train? Well, that's not weird at all...
Sometime later, they were next to the gate, where Taki held his phone by the gate's scanner until it unlocked its gate arms. He pushed them down, getting through them before continuing into the halls. He glanced back, waiting for the others to get through, so he can let Jack and Harmony lead the way.
"Uuuugh!" Suddenly, his bag shook, and the little Botamon tried to unzip the bag to get out.
"H-Hey, stay in there!" he gritted, pushing him down before anyone else could see him. "Just give me a few minutes or security will think I'm sneaking in an animal!"
Arika, who passed through the gate, smirked at him. "Sneaking in animals is the last thing people are worried about."
Yes, many people bring their pets into the subways all the time, like women carrying their little puppies or cats in their purses.
"...you know what I mean!" Taki scowled at her.

Arika Ozakiis now waiting for the sibs to lead on.
Oh boy, going to an alien world? She can hardly wait, she wants this line to go faster. She was so tempted to yell at the crowd to move faster. "C'mon, hurry up..."
But about sometime later, they reached the gate, and Arika used her phone to access it, pushing down the gate arms to go through. "Finally..." She then noticed Taki having some trouble keeping his Digimon behaved. Of course, he had to get a rather rowdy Digimon. He's just unlucky that way. Always has been since she met him.
"Sneaking in animals is the last thing people are worried about," she snootily said, walking past him. She took out her D3, wondering if this thing has some sort of radar that can lead them to this secret terminal. But it's probably best if she let the Digimon siblings take the lead.

Waiting in line was understandably difficult even for the twins but somehow they were able to keep their excitement contained despite the slow moving line. Sure Botamon trying to work his way out of the bag was concerning especially with other humans around. Fortunately the group got to the gate with little trouble yet something Taki said regarding humans sneaking animals onto trains made a puzzled look appear on the young gambler's face as he looked at Taki and Arika before he asked "Hold on. Humans carry animals in their bags? That seems so...so."
"Weird." Harmony said completing the line of thought stuck in her brother's head.
"Yeah that. I also can see the potential for it to be disgusting as well especially if the animal is untrained." Blackjack said with a shake of his head. Humans were just weird and he and Harmony were learning to accept that. The twins took the lead at that point leading the two humans and their partners to the terminal which began reacting to Taki and Arika's digivices.
"Here we are. The Trailmon are just beyond this point." Harmony said eager to soon be able to deactivate her holosuit so she could move around in her normal way of floating from place to place. She didn't hate her holosuit but just preferred to use it only if necessary.

Takiyo Hirotais a little nervous going into unauthorized areas.
"Hm?" Hearing beeping in his bag, he pulled out his D3 from it, and it was beeping. He guessed it means that this is the place...some access leading to some rather old stairs...blocked off by police tape. This defiantly wasn't a place they were not supposed to go to, and they might get the attention of security if they go in there. What if there're security cameras watching this part of the subway halls?
"So we just...go through here? No one's not gonna notice, are they?" he nervously asked, starting to have second thoughts about this.
"They will if you act all panicky like you are now," Arika frowned at him.
And she acts like this doesn't bother her, one bit. Well, based on all the shady stuff she does to get a good story, he's not surprised.

Arika Ozakicannot wait to get in this terminal.
"Well, people do keep their pets in their bags or purses. And they look so adorable, too!" Arika giggled. If she wasn't too married to her career, she'd have the time to keep a pet...which, she kinda now has. Yeah, those other guys say that they're not pets, but they have to feed them...like pets.
Of course, it's in some sort of abandoned terminal. Not like you can go to some portal or whatever in front of the public, since this Digimon-thing is supposed to be a secret. Oh boy, she cannot wait, and---oh great. Taki is getting nervous. Ugh, he always does this when they're about to break some rule or whatever. If any authority shows him a pen and notepad, he'll go into a panic. "They will if you act all panicky like you are now."
"Well, excuse me!" he argued.

Blackjack looked at Arika like she sprouted a second head before looking at his sister who only shrugged in response. What could she say anyway since she and her brother didn't understand humans all that well. When Taki looked hesitant to enter Blackjack said "Don't stress to much, Taki. Humans and digimon come through here all the time so I don't think the cameras, if any are here, are picking any of this activity up."
The twins made their way into the abandoned terminal as if were no big deal just to prove it was okay. Harmony deciding to be helpful then said "Come on, Taki. Freaking out will only attract unwanted attention and seeing that your partner wants to get out maybe it's best we make it to the Trailmon so he can come out with no trouble."
As the twins led Arika and Taki down and once they were out of casual human sight both Blackjack and Harmony deactivated their holosuits revealing themselves as the softball sized rookie digimon they were. Blackjack being the yellow and white land based Cardmon and Harmony being the blue and white water based Cardmon. "Feels good to be in my true form as I still haven't mastered walking." Harmony said her card swishing back and forth like a swim flipper.

Takiyo Hirotahas entered the Trailmon Station.
Gulping, seeing the sibs go through the tape without care, Taki, still with some anxiety running wildly in him, hurried through the tape, "WAH!" Almost tripped over the stairs if he didn't grab onto the rails. "...whew..." With a huge breath, he followed the sibs...
...who turned into...large softballs with cards acting like flippers? He...was expecting more than that, not something so simple yet weird. And he has a feeling that this isn't the weirdest thing he'll see.
"Booo!" Sensing no other humans around, and that the sibs turned into their true formed, Botamon popped out of the bag...
...Digivolving into Koromon. "Finally! That is the last time I stay in that stuffy bag!"
"Well, hopefully. I don't wanna deal with you squirming in there," he frowned, continuing down the steps...finding some sort of elevator. Figuring that this is what his Digivice is meant for at this point, he held it at the doors...
...and they opened.
For a moment, as they rode the elevator, he thought he felt something...ripple all around him...
...before he stepped into a rather large station after the elevator stopped...

Arika Ozakicannot wait to get in this terminal.
Following the sibs into the abandoned stairway, Arika watched as the sibs glowed, transforming...into large living...softballs with cards around them? "Uhhh...are you guys softballs or something?" Shrugging, she continued on...
...until they reached to some elevators. Arika pressed the down button...but nothing happened. Are they broken, or-
And she noticed Taki using his Digivice at the doors...making them open. "...oh right, the Digivices..." Entering the elevator with the group, the doors closed before she felt it going down. "...so, there are Digimon living among us. Are these Aegis people like the MiB, because I swear, you guys are just asking for some MiB elements. I mean-"
And she felt...some sort of ripple, but it just ended before she could comprehend what it was.
Then the doors opened, revealing a large terminal full of trains, and so many colorful lights. "Oh woooow!"

Harmony felt for Taki as the young teen almost tripped over the stairs making her glad she deactivated her holosuit before heading down the stairs or she would of likely tripped over her feet herself. Things like floating or swimming felt more natural to her. Maybe the reason she was terrible at walking without looking one step from ending up on her face was not just because she wasn't a natural at it like Blackjack. Thinking about it made her sigh so she decided to worry about it later.
When Arika asked if they were softballs Blackjack and Harmony chuckled before Blackjack said "No we aren't. Harmony and I are Cardmon but I suppose we would look odd to humans such as you and Taki."
Soon the group entered the elevator it didn't take long for Arika and Taki to figure the elevator out but when Arika mentioned AEGIS both twins looked confused. Sure groups were not unheard of but apparently this group was more known in the Human World which made sense why the two of them where puzzled. "Is AEGIS some human group or something?" Harmony asked as if reflected what both she and her brother were thinking.
When the elevator stopped Blackjack and Harmony floated out seeing various Trailmon waiting to be boarded. It seemed like a pretty busy day at the station.

Arika Ozakihas entered one of the trains.
"...I dunno. I thought you guys would know." Stepping down the terminal platform, Arika excitedly looked around, snapping pictures at the station. So many Digimon of various shapes and sizes all around. And it looks like they have to pass security, like some sort of airport. "Wow! An alien train system! This is so cool!"
Kapurimon leaped out of her bag, bouncing over to one of the train trailers. "Ms. Arika, I think that we're supposed to board this Trailmon."
"Hm?" She can see many Digimon entering a train, which obviously means that this one goes to the Digital World. "Well, alright then." Picking up her Digimon, she entered the train, trying to squeeze through the crowd. "Excuse us, sorry."
This was a little uncomfortable for the little Digimon, being crushed between bigger Digimon. Maybe this won't be a problem if she can Digivolve. Then again, she might Digivolve into something too big for even the station.

Takiyo Hirotahas entered a Trailmon train.
"Well, I guess this Aegis-thing isn't exactly a Digimon police, then." Still so much about Digimon they don't know yet, and they hardly scratched the surface. Speaking of which...
So these are other Digimon, huh? From large dinosaurs and lizards, to robots, to plants, to...whatever that muscle head with the shades is...many of them sure are weird.
"Finally! Move your legs out, you!" Koromon shouted, bouncing toward the train.
"Hey, don't-AGH!" And Taki bumped into a tall gecko, with musical horns around him, who just passed by, "...separate from-WAH!" And some large boars walked in front of his path. Trying to get around them, "...the group-AGH!" And he leaped into the train before some big Digimon could walk over him.
But now, he's in a rather stuffy trailer full of Digimon. It's pretty much no different from Tokyo subways, now is it?

It was clear that Arika and Taki were just as clueless as they were when it came to knowing what AEGIS was but based on the limited info the twins had it seemed AEGIS was some government thing at most that dealt with digimon. Sounded like a good thing for the Human World to have specialists when it came to handling digimon as not all digimon were friendly. "Sorry, Blackjack and I don't know that much about the Human World seeing as this was our first trip to your world. What little we know we overheard from humans in the Digital World."
At Arika's excitement Blackjack floated near her and said "Seems like a really busy day today. Maybe many of these passengers are just trying to make their connections between stops. Managing the schedule can be difficult."
Koromon seemed very excited as the little digimon began bouncing towards one of the Trailmon while Taki was bumping into various digimon. Blackjack had followed him using his invisible hands to shoo digimon away from the human so Taki wouldn't get squished before floating in himself. Meanwhile Harmony was using a similar strategy to lead Arika and Nazz safely onboard the Trailmon as well.
