"Okay you have a fair point. Sorry I couldn't be much more help in that regard." Stacy said. Sure the egg appearing out of thin air sounded odd on the surface but probably wasn't completely unheard of. Then again there were also probably other humans who met their partners under stranger circumstances.
When Shizuka asked that they could get there by train, Stacy nodded an affirmative before she said "Yes and as you can expect the train to another parallel dimension is a very special train indeed. This train is actually a species of digimon called Trailmon and they come in multiple forms. They usually tend to be friendly and helpful so they don't tend to be violent which is good considering their large size."
Stacy noticed Ric's expression and realized she was likely right. Considering a digimon's demanding metabolisms them being hungry especially shortly after hatching wouldn't of surprised her. Though she didn't know if Ala or Ric were bottomless pits like herself it was bound to be something Lizzie and Shizuka would learn soon enough. "I don't have much but I do have a bit of beef jerky in my bag." Stacy said as she removed her lightweight bag and began rooting around. Amongst the soft rattle of prescription bottles she fished out a couple pieces of jerky before holding them out. "Here. Digimon don't tend to be picky eaters. See if Ala and Ric will accept it."

"The train is a digimon?" Shizuka repeated, somewhat shocked. That did explain how nobody noticed trains disappearing off to another world but it was still a rather strange situation. She couldn't help but wonder exactly how safe or hygienic such a travel option might be. If they had to ride inside the Trailmon, would that mean it was effectively eating them? Did the Trailmon get cleaned between trips? And when Stacy said they didn't tend to be violent, that implied that occasionally they were violent, didn't it?
"Oi, calm down," Lizzie interrupted Shizuka's train of thought, recognizing that she was working herself into a panic. "We're not about to be riding one right now and I'm sure you'd survive riding a magic train," she said somewhat mockingly, though her words lacked much heat and while Shizuka did flush slightly, she did seem to calm down in response to Lizzie's interruption.
When Stacy offered some beef jerky for the digimon, the two girls briefly exchanged a look before taking the pieces of jerky, Shizuka much more hesitantly than Lizzie. "Thank you very much," the former said politely, Lizzie simply grunting in what could conceivably be agreement. Shizuka tentatively brought the jerky closer to Ric. The Yuramon promptly proved that he did in fact have a mouth when he rocked forwards in Shizuka's hand, grabbing the jerky and virtually inhaling it, chewing furiously, his glare still never wavering.
Ala, on the other hand, gave a couple of tentative sniffs of the jerky before grimacing in disapproval, much to Lizzie's irritation. "Well excuse me for not having foie gras and caviar, princess. If you don't want it, don't it," she snapped shortly. Ala gave a squeaky huff of annoyance but did grab the jerky in her mouth, nibbling on it much more slowly and carefully than Ric.
"Um, Ms. Stacy, if you said that Trailmon usually aren't violent," Lizzie began to ask once the digimon were occupied with their food. "Does that mean there are violent digimon in the Digital World?" she asked nervously. Excluding Ala's one brief outburst, which seemed to be more intended to draw Lizzie's attention than actually harm her, neither of these digimon had made any overly aggressive moves, she was uncomfortable with the idea that she might have to encounter more dangerous creatures. She did recall that Stacy had mentioned that Ala and Ric would protect them from hostile digimon but it was hard to imagine the two baby digimon protecting them from anything more dangerous than an insect bite.

Shizuka looked as if she was working herself into a panic which was not what Stacy was intending but, fortunately, Lizzie was able to ground her step sibling so Stacy didn't have to say anything. After Shizuka calmed down Stacy said "Don't worry, Shizuka. The Trailmon just carries passenger and cargo cars. You aren't being eaten by them or anything. At least the interior of a Trailmon is usually surprisingly clean compared this world's trains."
Shizuka and Lizzie accepted the jerky and offered it to their respective partners. To Stacy's amusement Ric practically inhaled it proving her theory about the little ones being hungry was spot on. Ala, however, didn't seem to be too eager to accept the offered food but eventually accepted it. "I guess Ala isn't big on jerky. At least you two can work on figuring out the types of foods they prefer by exposing them to a wide variety of foods. Ric seems to not be a picky eater though so at least finding his preferences might be easier." Stacy said after observing the baby digimon for awhile.
When Shizuka asked if some digimon were violent Stacy nodded before she said "Digimon and humans are alike in many ways including some being violent, manipulative, or cruel. Fortunately most digimon are kind with some tending to avoid humans at most. Feral digimon can be dangerous but they don't tend to be evil because feral digimon are just fighting to find food and survive. As for Ala and Ric, they won't be babies for very long so they should soon enough be able to defend themselves as well as you both."

Shizuka was more than a little relieved when Stacy reassured her that Trailmon were not only safe but clean as well. "That's good to hear. Thank you very much," she said gratefully while Lizzie rolled her eyes.
"Right, because it would be the end of the world if you had to ride a train that wasn't clean," she remarked caustically, prompting Shizuka to cringe slightly and lower her gaze as her cheeks flushed once again. Ala, meanwhile, frowned up at her tamer around the mouthful of jerky, clearly displeased by Lizzie's comment, though whether it was due to Lizzie's tone or a shared dislike of dirt with Shizuka was impossible to tell. "What are you glaring at? Finish your jerky," Lizzie snapped. Ala huffed angrily but did resume carefully chewing her food. She did seem a little more enthused when Stacy mentioned exploring different types of food. Ric, on the other hand, maintained his fierce glower, unchanged. The girls both began to suspect that he only really had the one setting.
"So they can be dangerous," Shizuka said in a near whisper, reflexively bringing her arms closer to her and winding up holding Ric close to her torso in a semi-embrace. The Yuramon's growling resumed at a louder volume at that, startling Shizuka. "Oh, I'm sorry. Was that too tight?" she asked, shifting her grip on Ric to a looser one. Ric's growling stopped as quickly as it had started and Ala apparently took that opportunity to chirp disapprovingly at him. He grunted briefly in response but seemed largely unfazed by his sibling's criticism.

"Now, Lizzie. There is nothing wrong with wanting to avoid unnecessary dirt and grime as long as Shizuka remembers that such a thing is not always possible." Stacy said to the caustic teen. "Sounds like you are usually giving her a hard time eventhough Shizuka seems nice enough. From what I've seen she just needs to stand up for herself a little more. We women can't be complete pushovers after all." she said with a somewhat mischievous grin before reverting back to a warm smile.
"Hmm. While both Ala and Ric seem fiesty to some extent. It also seems they are opposites in other ways. For example Ala seems easier going while Ric just seems to be either super serious or a grump." Stacy said after observing the Nyokimon and Yuramon for awhile.
As for Shizuka it seemed Stacy's earlier words scared her a bit while squeazing Ric too tight making the little one growl louder. "Don't worry, Shizuka. You and Lizzie have two adorable new friends to help you out if things get out of hand when you eventually visit the Digital World. Fortunately they won't be helpless babies for long and I have a gut feeling that they'll be beautiful digimon when they digivolve."

"There are worse things than a little dirt. The sooner she gets over it, the better," Lizzie said bluntly and unapologetically. She did bristle slightly when \Stacy accused her of giving Shizuka a hard time. "She won't learn to stand up for herself if people go around coddling her. She's a big girl and can she can fight her own battles," she snapped, ignoring how Shizuka flinched in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, I just don't want to cause trouble," she said meekly. "Lizzie doesn't mean any harm by it, she's just a very... expressive person," she said, choosing her words carefully. a touch of envy and admiration crept into her voice as she spoke, casting a cautious glance at the scowling Lizzie out of the corner of her eye. Much as she found Lizzie's attitude intimidating and often crass, there was no denying that her stepsister was possessed of such confidence that Shizuka could barely even imagine.
"Expressive?" Lizzie repeated suspiciously. "What's that supposed to mean?" she demanded, prompting Shizuka to quickly stammer out denials.
Ala, meanwhile, visibly preened as Stacy predicted they would grow to be beautiful digimon, rocking herself forward in Lizzie's hands in an approximation of a nod, though Ric was predictably unimpressed. Lizzie seemed to agree with the latter more, based on her dismissive snort. "Beautiful? You're getting that from a hairball and a seed? Seems like a stretch to me," she remarked. Ala puffed up angrily, turning to glare back up at Lizzie before suddenly starting to glow with the same light that had enveloped their egg and start to grow. "Bloody hell, again?" Lizzie yelled, starting to curse up a blue streak as she dropped the now transforming Ala. Fortunately, the metamorphosing digimon did not seem injured by the brief fall and continue to transform.
"Wha- oh my," Shizuka gasped as Ric was suddenly enveloped by the same light. She avoided dropping the digimon but she did extend her arms outwards, holding him away from her body. She winced as small spikes sprouted from his skin, scratching at her hands before she shifted her grip, holding him gingerly.
When the light faded from both digimon, each had grown over twice their previous size, enough that they could no longer be held in a single hand though they were still much smaller than any of the humans. Ric had changed into a green, plant-like creature covered in pink, thorny spikes with a leaf-like tail. His eyes were narrow slits and his mouth, which was still stuck in a scowl, had a single prominent fang sticking out.
Ala had become a pink, bulb-like creature with a bright blue flower sprouting from the top of head. She had large, green eyes and was resting on numerous short tentacles. "Well now," she announced, startling both girls. "That's much better. And of course I am a beautiful digimon. I'm glad that somebody has the good sense to recognize that," she said. Her voice was soft and pleasant, though it did briefly take on a slight edge as she frowned up at Lizzie.

"I agree with not coddling Shizuka, Lizzie, but a bit of patient guidance never hurts." Stacy said not at all sounding bothered by Lizzie even appearing somewhat amused by the banter between the siblings as the two of them were beginning to remind her of her younger brothers. At Lizzie's expression regarding Ala and Ric's appearence the forty year old merely shrugged before she said "Let's just say it's a gut feeling and I am one that tends to follow my instincts."
Then Ala and Ric began glowing much to Shizuka and Lizzie's surprise. Lizzie dropped Ala while Shizuka managed to hold onto Ric but hold him a bit away from herself. "The light of digivolution." Stacy said with a look of awe. When the glowing ceased the new forms were revealed and they were just adorable little plant toddlers. Ric's expression was still on what seemed to be his default setting but Stacy wasn't bothered by it. Apparently this was just how he was while Ala spoke with full sentences. Smiling at Ala Stacy used her D-Tector to scan the pair and said "Ric is now an in training digimon called Budmon while Ala is a digimon called Yokomon. As for me being able to recognize your beauty, Ala. It was just a hunch. I can become some beautiful digimon myself and I have a knack for being able to see the beauty we all possess."

"Nobody else is going to wait patiently for her to grow a backbone before walking all over her. Better to get used to it from me than to get rolled over by the first ass with enough brains to spot an easy target," Lizzie insisted firmly. Most of her attention was on Ala, however, glaring back at her for her not-so-subtle jab. Seeing this, Shizuka hastily spoke up before Lizzie could pick a fight with the digimon.
"So you two can speak now? Is there anything you want or need?" she offered politely, glancing down at the Budmon held gingerly in her fingertips. For a moment Ric was silent, continuing to glare at everybody. When the silence began to drag on for a moment, to the point that Lizzie was visibly preparing to open her mouth and speak up, Ric eventually answered.
"Hmph. No," he grunted curtly, apparently not as inclined to use his newfound vocal prowess as Ala had been. The more talkative digimon sighed wearily as she turned towards Shizuka and Ric.
"My apologies for Ric's rudeness. It would appear that I inherited the lion's share of our social and refined qualities while Ric received... other properties," she said carefully. Ric briefly glanced over at Ala but if he took offense to the somewhat backhanded compliment, he didn't show it beyond a brief grunt of irritation which, given his overall demeanor, could have been about just about anything. "And it's clear that you have a discerning eye, Stacy. I am sure your forms are lovely to behold as well."

Stacy nodded at Lizzie as it was clear the girl did care for her step sister even if she came off as a bit abrasive to most. "Don't worry, Lizzie. Shizuka will grow a backbone in time. You have a little help in the form of Ala and Ric to help you."
Shizuka made a move to handle things before a fight erupted between Lizzie and Ala asking if they need anything since they could speak now. Ric apparently wasn't feeling all that talkative and Stacy said "It might not be rudeness per say but I think Ric may be one of those strong silent types."
She then looked at Ala before putting her D-Tector back in its Digivice Cradle on her right arm before removing her bag and digging in it again before bringing out her device connected to Tamernet before moving to pictures that had become taken of her various obtained forms so far.
The first one, her rookie stage, looked like a snow white juvenile wolf with brown eyes but could easily be mistooken for a dog as well. "This is my rookie stage of Hinookamimon." she said before flipping to another picture of what looked like a humanoid wearing red themed wolf armor complete with a mask with green lenses in the eye holes of the mask, long claws on the hands and boots that were golden, a fluffy snow white wolf tail. "This is one of my three champion forms and is called Blitzwolfmon." Then next she showed a large white wolf cerberus with three heads with the largest center head wearing a holy ring. "That is one of my ultimates Lupinecerberusmon." Then apparently her brother Chris had managed to get a picture of her mega and sent it to her so she showed it next revealing a three foot tall anthropomorphic white wolf wearing black armor without claws and carrying a katana. Most curious was the fact that she had a pair of shining white angel wings coming from her back. "This is SacredOkamimon." She then showed her other two lines up to ultimate one being a powder blue fishing cat and called the champion and ultimate forms of that line Nanamimon and Adiramon respectively.
Her third line was lets just say different as it seemed to be a demonic spider monkey, complete with leathery black wings, line with gradually increasing cybernetic traits. They both had glowing red eyes sharp short red claws on her hands and a curious piece of metal on her tail. The champion was only two feet all however and she called the form Sarumon. Her ultimate was bigger at five feet wearing armor and cannons on its arms and she called it Yanchemon. Still despite being somewhat intimidating the dark line could still be considered beautiful.

"Strong and silent he may be but that does not preclude him from being polite," Ala sniffed somewhat haughtily before sighing. "Alas, in our past life we were somewhat reclusive by nature and with myself having inherited the sum of our sociableness and etiquette, I fear Ric may have been left quite anti-social as a result," she explained sadly. Lizzie and Shizuka both noticed something odd about her phrasing but it was Lizzie who spoke up first, dropping down to a crouch to look at Ala on a more even level.
"Past life? Don't you mean past lives?" she asked curiously. "And what's this about you inheriting things from each other?" Ala looked back at her and with a gentle smile, began to explain.
"I meant exactly what I said. Ric and I were, prior to this most recent rebirth, a single digimon by the name of Alaric," she explained, shocking both girls. "The circumstances of our most recent death had us quite at odds with ourself, torn between two differing viewpoints, and in the process of rebirth that went from being figuratively torn to literally. It is not unheard of for certain changes such as this to occur during rebirth although admittedly, this is a touch more dramatic than most cases," she said with a quiet titter at the end. Lizzie was halfway tempted to call her out on this blatantly false laugh, the manufactured politeness rubbing her quite the wrong way, but was a little too distracted by the revelation that the two digimon had literally been a single being and before she could fully recover her wits, her attention was drawn by Stacy showing the pictures of her own digimon forms.
"Oh, that is lovely," Shizuka gasped at the first picture of Hinookamimon. The following forms were a touch more intimidating looking but she could recognize that they were still very beautiful looking and couldn't help but admire their snow white fur. Lizzie had picked up Ala once again before looking at the pictures and while the human was clearly intrigued, it was Ala who spoke up to agree with Shizuka.
"Indeed. Hinookamimon is perhaps a touch plain but that pure white palette does have an undeniable appeal to it and the higher forms are just marvelous to behold," she complimented effusively. As Stacy moved on to her second line, Ala's enthusiasm seemed to diminish slightly but she was still clearly interested. "Hmm. These ones are certainly not unattractive but not quite as pleasing to the eye as those previous. The color isn't quite as attractive and while the patterns of the fur are intriguing, the texture seems a bit rough. The fins seem to work quite nicely on Adiramon but Nanamimon's tail and appendages are not so attractive to look at," she critiqued. While the criticism may have been a bit harsh, her tone of voice was gentle and she seemed to put extra sincerity into her more complimentary remarks in an attempt to cushion the less forgiving comments. And then the pictures of the third line came out.
"Oh. Well, they're certainly interesting," she remarked delicately after a moment's pause, the earlier sincerity notably lacking now though she maintained a calm and gentle tone of voice. Shizuka was similarly less enthuse by these forms, having drawn back slightly and the expression of admiration she had shown for the original line now gone. "I suppose they have their own sort of charm, and they certainly don't take away from how lovely your other forms are," she offered in a reassuring tone.
"They all look pretty cool to me," Lizzie interjected with a disinterested shrug, clearly not as invested in her judgement as Ala was. She had been interested to see what bigger digimon might look like and it had been interesting but she wasn't overly concerned with their aesthetics. Ala sighed quietly, raising her eyes heavenwards but didn't say anything. "So you can turn into any of these? Is it just like how these two changed forms a moment ago?" she asked Stacy curiously. Being able to turn into a creature like those herself was something that seemed very interesting to her.

"Don't worry, Ala. Being somewhat reclusive and anti social isn't that bad. I have my moments where I'm much like him as I'm not always good in social situations no matter how kindhearted I come off. Maybe your brother can relearn the basics at least." Stacy said after Ala explained how she ended up the social one of the two.
Ala then explained how she and Ric were once the same entity called Alaric and Stacy said "I guess that explains those words you said earlier regarding what you wanted to be called. So in a previous life you two were the same digimon. I've seen something like this happen when I met a different set of twins over a year ago. They were also the same digimon too. Sadly those two aren't alive anymore."
"Maybe the somewhat basic designs could be due to their nature of being ancient digimon. For all I know many ancient digimon could of been quite simplistic. Anyway Hinookamimon, Blitzwolfmon, Lupinecerberusmon, and SacredOkamimon are all holy digimon with access to having fire based abilities as well. As for Nanamimon and Adiramon, while they aren't as fancy looking the fins and webbed digits means that form is well adapted for ocean life. As Nanamimon and Adiramon I can swim super fast and breathe underwater. Adiramon, however, can also walk on water while Nanamimon cannot. As for my dark line the cybernetic traits makes me wonder what crazy features will show up next after the likes of Sarumon and Yanchemon. I also seem to be more prone to mischief in my dark forms but still benevolent and protective by nature." Stacy said not at all put off by the criticism as she knew that some of her forms were not what others would consider beautiful without seeing them in action. "Still powder blue for my ocean dwelling line is a lovely shade of blue and it is good that the coarse coat is totally waterproof as well."
"Yes I can digivolve into any of these digimon except to SacredOkamimon in this world since there seems to be a cap limit of up to ultimate level forms and I spend a lot of time running around Shibuya as Hinookamimon and most people think I'm just a white dog but I'm not about to correct them." Stacy said before she continued "As a Spirit Wielder, however, my means of digivolution is similar to Ala and Ric but with the major difference being that I tap into the spirit of a digimon to take on its form." Fractal coding appeared around her right hand as she put the device back in her bag and set it on the ground before taking her D-Tector out of its Digivice Cradle with her left hand before she said "Allow me to demonstrate."
Then she ran her right hand over the top of her D-Tector before she said "Execute! Human Spirit Evolution!" Her body became wrapped in holy light before a soft wolf howl was heard as to avoid drawing in unwanted eyes before the light faded revealing a humanoid digimon that was five foot six like she was in her human form. She was wearing red wolf themed armor as well. Then she said "Blitzwolfmon!"

"I suppose we can only hope that this is the case and that Ric develops a stronger sense of decorum. Perhaps you can be a better role model for him in that regard, Shizuka," Ala suggested warmly, prompting the shy girl to blush. "And if other parties should pick up some of those same lessons in the process, all the better," she added cheerfully, drawing a suspicious glare from Lizzie.
"Oh, um, thank you. That is, I certainly hope I can help," Shizuka stammered, casting a dubious glance down at the unimpressed looking Ric. She was distracted from her concerns on that regard, however, by Stacy mentioning her own experience with the phenomenon of digimon splitting in two. "Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that," she said sympathetically upon hearing of the death of the two digimon. Ala chimed in with her own condolences and even Lizzie mumbled something that sounded vaguely conciliatory, though it was impossible to make out the specifics. She was more interested in the description of Stacy's abilities in her other forms.
"So do all digimon have specific types of powers like that?" she asked when Stacy mentioned her first line's fire abilities. She was a bit disappointed to hear that transforming like that apparently required access to a digimon's spirit, suspecting that that wasn't something that she was likely to just find lying around, assuming it was even possible without the specific type of digivice Stacy had.
"Of course, all digimon have their own set of abilities and quite often they are primarily based on a theme, whether that be of an element, a weapon or something else entirely," Ala spoke up. "Based on our present forms and those of our past life, it seems likely that Ric and I will continue to have plant based forms in this life, with corresponding abilities," she explained. Lizzie was intrigued and though a part of her felt that plant abilities didn't sound quite as cool as pyrokinesis, she did have a fondness for plant life so that could prove interesting. All of their attention, however, was seized by Stacy's sudden transformation.
"Oh my!" Shizuka squeaked, quickly taking several reflexive steps back from the suddenly much more intimidating looking woman. Ric's glare was now focused entirely on Stacy and he was tense in Shizuka's grip, as if prepared to jump out and fight or flee as the situation demanded at a moment's notice.
"Huh, cool," Lizzie commented. While she had also reflexively drawn away from Stacy upon her transformation, she quickly recovered and approached to examine her more closely, walking a circuit around her to examine her from all angles. Blitzwolfmon appeared largely human, albeit one in very unusual armor, though the tail did draw Lizzie's attention.

"One thing that fascinates me is that Ric seems more like Lizzie and you seem more like Shizuka, Ala, but perhaps that's why you two got partnered up the way you did. Being opposite in nature makes you guys able to cover each others weaknesses." Stacy said.
"I do hope nothing happened to their data so maybe one day they can be reborn. They were nice enough guys if a bit robotic." Stacy said as her thoughts went back to Taser the Kokuwamon and Lego the BlackToyAgumon. She remembered them fondly despite not knowing them long. Their human partner Faustein died sometime later and sure it still hurt but with time she knew she would be fine.
"Like Ala said digimon have their own abilities. Even two digimon of the same species can have totally different abilities as well which makes sense as digimon are just as unique as humans. My water line seems to also have access to wind and lightning abilities. As for my dark line I have plenty of dark based skills to go with the cybernetic traits. The most curious thing is all my forms seem to share one holy move in common called Zodiac Burst." Stacy said.
Both Shizuka and Lizzie were understandably surprised by her appearance as Blitzwolfmon even though she still carried herself as a gentle protective presence. Sure it was hard to tell her gender based on her armor but then all her forms looked pretty gender neutral. "Take it easy, Shizuka. I'm more like a guardian angel what with the mega stage of my holy line being an angel and all." Lizzie seemed to recover from her surprise faster than her step sister and was making a circuit around Blitzwolfmon taking in every detail her tail occasionally swishing with each circuit but she seemed at peace as long as her personal bubble wasn't messed with.

"Hmm? I suppose I can see what you mean, Stacy" Ala acknowledged, giving Shizuka a once-over. "Shizuka certainly seems to take care of her appearance at least and seems to understand the value of decorum, though you could stand to be a bit more confident, dear," she addressed the nervous girl directly. "Flowers are beautiful because they're vibrant and colorful but if you hide them away in the dark, they wilt," she cautioned gently.
"Hmph. I guess I can see those two hitting it off," Lizzie said with a frown, nodding at Ala and Shizuka. "But I don't see the resemblance between me and the little guy. I may not be the friendliest person in the world but that's only because I speak my mind. Ric doesn't seem to say a thing," she argued. Ric didn't take his gaze away from Stacy for a second, lending credence to Lizzie's point.
"There's nothing wrong with being quiet," Shizuka pointed out in defense of Ric and inadvertently herself. "If he doesn't want to talk much then we should leave him be, as long as he's not hurting anybody," she suggested. At that, while Ric's gaze still didn't waver, he did give another quiet grunt, one that sounded slightly more agreeable than his previous ones.
That discussion did serve to distract Lizzie from her nerves about Stacy's digimon form somewhat. She still found Blitzwolfmon more than a little intimidating but the fact that Stacy's behavior hadn't changed at all helped her to keep calm. "I apologize, I didn't mean any offense. It just proved a bit more intimidating to see you like that in person rather than in a picture," she offered sincerely.
"So are you two going to turn into something like that eventually?" Lizzie asked bluntly, jerking her head towards Stacy to indicate what she was talking about.
"It's difficult to say exactly. We can't know for sure what forms we will take on until we reach that level for the first time," Ala explained. "In our past life, we had attained an ultimate level form called Aegiochusmon, a relatively humanoid digimon that can take on a variety of forms depending on its environment. In our case, we adapted plant-like traits to reflect the forest that we lived in," she explained. "What our individual forms in this life will be, I can't say, but it is possible we may be able to return to the form of Aegiochusmon by DNA digivolving together, once we attain the necessary strength," she added.
"DNA digivolving?" Lizzie repeated, brow furrowed in thought. "You mean you can digivolve together into one digimon? And that would turn you back into this Alaric?" she hazarded a guess.
"Not quite. It would be a temporary fusion and while we would likely take on many of the aspects of our previous shared life, the distinction between us would remain. Alaric, alas, is most likely gone for good," she said wistfully. Lizzie rolled her eyes at the digimon's melodramatic delivery but Ala, fortunately, seemed not to notice.

"Fair enough. He doesn't have to be chatty unless he wants to. After all its best to be ourselves and not to just change the essence of who we are just to please people. Doesn't hurt to change to improve onself though." Blitzwolfmon said in regards to the discussion at hand.
"I can see how I can come off as intimidating despite my lighweight appearence. Perhaps it's the claws on my hands and boots. Sure isn't due to the cute fluffy tail coming from my backside though." she said with a bit of a giggle at the end of the last sentence. Her aformentioned tail had picked up speed and was now wagging a bit instead of just gently swishing back at forth.
"That's definitely a species I've never seen before but if there multiple forms of that species each one must be an impressive sight to behold." Blitzwolfmon said as she was once again fiddling with her D-Tector the said image of the digimon not coming up. Oh well, it was worth a shot.
"They aren't the only ones capable of DNA digivolving either. Any two digimon can theoretically do such a thing but it seems to come easier for twins perhaps due to the similarities in their data due to their nature as siblings. I haven't DNA digivolved myself and I honestly would have no idea what I would become if I did DNA digivolve with another digimon given my forms are all that of ancient extinct digimon." she said as the dedigivolved back into her human state again before putting her D-Tector lazily in her pocket instead of the Digivice Cradle.
