Rai felt like he'd been in a weird digital lab recently; there were differences and similarities to the lab he'd acquired the Digimental of Stoicism from.
"I'll field a guess that you probably came out of that pod Vemmon." Rai provided bluntly. "Maybe you were the creation mentioned on the door. Probably wasn't a good time for you." he shrugged.
Y2K looked around the room, waving his arms and swinging his head in weird ways that only had any context of looking around if you remembered what he said before. Otherwise it looked like he was just moving in a strange manner.
"If its broken can I eat it?" Y2K asked. He could turn most data into primitive binary to chow on, and food was if not always on his mind, always at least in the background.
Rai and Y2K moved over towards the computer when it was pointed out, careful not to crowd or make it hard for the purple alien to reach.
"Do you want to know what there is to read? We could just leave and leave the past in the past." he suggested to Vemmon if he wasn't up to it.

"Y-Yeah I was getting that vibe too. I m-mean I was artificially created and t-this place could easily be my birthplace." Vemmon said as he looked around the room not wanting anything to do with the pod in the room.
"Definitely looks like more than a wild rager went on in here so it would be amazing if anything worked in here." Hudiemon noted as she looked over the room.
"Probably shouldn't eat anything in this room as we don't know how long the equipment has been festering in here. I doubt anything would be all that tasty." Kazumi said as she glanced at Y2K watching the Keramon's weird movements. He sure was an odd little guy that's for sure.
Vemmon looked over at the computer. Yes he wanted to know more and, hopefully, the answers would be on the computer that he sought. Walking up to the computer while Yuki stepped aside, the small purple digimon began opening various folders before a video log caught his attention that was titled Project Conquest. Bit blunt but it was as good a first look as any. So he clicked on the video log to watch it.
On the screen was Snatchmon and what looked like the lab in pristine condition. Then the foul creature began speaking. "My prototype is almost complete. Using a small portion of my own data I created new data that will soon be the first in my army." Then another entry began where inside the pod was definitely the Vemmon they knew. "The programming I began will turn 001 into the perfect obedient soldier by removing the more defiant traits in digimon creating the perfect puppet for my means." Vemmon shuddered as he heard the entry looking borderline nauseous at the thought of not only being the prototype for his sibling but that he could of been the same way but what happened to make him how he was? The next log is where things took an interesting turn as what looked like the lab being on fire and Snatchmon bailing with various digimon ransacking the place. During the choas the pod opened prematurely and Vemmon woke beginning to climb out of the pod. Then the digimon ransacking the lab attacked him and Kazumi noticed that Vemmon's arm was injured in the attack and he hissed ferally before running for it disappearing off camera before the log stopped.
Vemmon looked at his arm silently before Kazumi said "That explains the arm injury when I met you. Could also explain your amnesia too. Do you remember anything more Vemmon?" Vemmon only shook his head silently in response.

Y2K wondered how Kazumi could know it wasn't tasty if she hadn't tried it. But there was something far more interesting in the computer, so he made his way over there instead, snacking being pushed to the back of his mind.
Rai maintained a mask-like expression as he witnessed the Audiolog. He hadn't been expecting that. He tried scanning the video screen with his D3 to identify the digimon displayed, but no luck; it was a recording, there were no actual digimon to scan. He wondered if the larger purple digimon would even have been known to the D3 anyway.
"So that's how it is. An artificial soldier program, run by some power hungry type. It looks like the enemies they intended to conquer ransacked the place before the project could be completed. Meanwhile Vemmon escaped. I guess I can say, good on you for forging your own destiny." Rai said with a blank expression. "Finding your own path... making friends... a mindless puppet couldn't do that."
"Friends are good! Paths can be confusing!" chimed Y2K happily. "If you're ever too confused, stop and eat!" the Keramon nodded; a gesture that quickly escalated into slowly swinging his head forward and back. "If you're still confused, ask Rai he's smart!" the Keramon affirmed.
Rai cleared his throat. "I think he means if you're still confused, ask your friends." Rai said gesturing at the General and her 'army'
"That works too! Kekeke!"

Kazumi and Yuki watched as Rai tried to scan the Snatchmon on the screen and seeing as Vemmon didn't seem up to talking for the moment. Before Yuki could say anything, Kazumi said "That's Vemmon's father, if such a term remotely fits, and he is a digimon called Snatchmon."
"Snatchmon is often known to be the champion form of Vemmon but since Snatchmon can warp digivolve to a much stronger final form he is quite dangerous." Yuki cut in helping with the explanation.
"The fact that Snatchmon is so cavalier about creating digimon for the sake of them being puppets is enough to make my skin crawl and I doubt I'm the only one." Shadow said and everyone else nodded in agreement. From within the Xros Loader Koko muttered her agreement as well.
Vemmon chuckled at Y2K's statement and said "T-That statement is quite true. P-Paths can be confusing and somethings can only be d-discovered on ones own. After t-that video log I don't really want to know how I found my way to the H-Human World. I d-don't need to since I have everything I need with a strong supportive g-group of friends."

"There you have it then. You have who you need, and the specifics of how you found them aren't the most important questions." Rai shrugged. "You got what you need from here then?" Rai found it odd he was giving advice about friends considering he had like one of them. I mean he'd met a few acquaintances by now, but he hadn't met any of them twice.
Y2K was examining the mouse, picking it up and chewing on it gently. One might even see a couple 1s and 0s. apparent disappear into his wide mouth as he makes small scratches into the... plastic?
"Y2K put it down. Back. Put it back." Rai said slightly exasperated.

Vemmon smiled and his posture seemed to relax before he looked at Rai then said "I g-guess to stop Snatchmon our group has a lot of work to do but to stop a c-creep like that will be worth every bit of the effort."
Then when Y2K was tending to his munchies by trying to eat a computer mouse Kazumi's eyes widened in surprise before she looked at Rai and asked "Is Y2K always known for eating such odd things? None of my partners eat odd things other than unusual human food options. The strangest dietary habits in my group make sense. See Lalamon takes in most of her nutrition through photosynthesis and Hudiemon occasionally gathers pollen to make nectar."
"Well I grew up with bee digimon so me doing that is not odd and dear Lalamon is after all a plant digimon so photosynthesizing is second nature to her." Hudiemon said.
Yuki looked at Y2K and said "Rai is right, Y2K. You don't know how long the stuff has been sitting in this lab. Not to mention everything is filthy."

"Y2K eats anything made of data by turning it into primitive 0s and 1s. I feed him loads of spam mail." Rai explained. "I don't actually think he'd get sick from eating anything here... data is data when it comes to that as far as I know. But you may want to use that mouse again one day and I don't want him to break it."
"He eats enough spam, donation petitions, viruses, newsletters, chain letters and the works to build a house in Terminus daily I think. He's never gotten indigestion before." Rai shrugged. "He won't touch human food at all."
Y2K carefully put the mouse back trying to put it exactly the way it was before. Exactly... the way... was that it? No maybe a little... hmm...

"I can see how that can be problematic but good thing you have a handle on him." Kazumi said glancing briefly at the somewhat chewed on computer mouse.
Vemmon snorted in amusement before he said "And y-you were worried about my natural hacking abilities. At l-least I don't try to eat everything in sight in the D-Digital World." Noticing that Y2K was trying to eat the computer mouse Vemmon shrugged before he said "N-Not like I would miss anything in this place since t-this lab gives me the creeps. T-The sooner we clear outta here the better. I'm h-heading outside since I can't take this place anymore."
Vemmon then began heading out of the lab and Kazumi and her army followed. Once outside Vemmon looked much more relaxed but there was one more thing he wanted to do but all he had to do was to wait for Rai and Y2K to exit before mentioning his idea to Kazumi.
"You're planning something aren't you?" Yuki asked with a knowing look and Vemmon smirked and nodded in response.

"Tell me about it. I took him to Terminus for the first time and he pointed to some clothes displays in a window and asked 'Can I eat that?'." he said as Vemmon commented on how atleast they didn't do that. As Vemmon declared he couldn't stand the place any longer, Rai and Y2K would follow Vemmon and co out.
"Are you okay Vemmon?" asked the Keramon.
Rai looked at his digivice and scrolled to Digi-Port. He was prepared to use his escape rope in this cave... figure of speech. "So anything else you plan to do in this jungle?" he asked. "I know Y2K wants to help, but if you're winding this up or would rather go it by yourselves, I'm about ready to Digi-Port."
"But new friends Rai!" whined Y2K. He didn't want to say good bye yet!
Rai merely moved his gaze lazily between the General and her army.

Kazumi, Yuki, and Hudiemon couldn't help but chuckle at learning about what happened with Rai and Y2K on their first trip to Terminus. "Y2K is adorable but he has to learn that not everything in the Digital World is for eating." Hudiemon said with a snicker before she continued "At least not without purchasing some items first."
When everyone was safely outside Y2K asked if Vemmon was okay and Vemmon said "I'm as b-better than I'd thought I'd be seeing as I j-just learned I am a prototype that has led to the pain of many."
Then when Rai asked if they had anything else they planned to do in the jungle Vemmon decided to let the cat out of the bag and said "I t-think this place should be blown to bits. All w-we have to do is fire a strong attack into the doorway to set off t-the needed chain reaction." Looking specifically at Yuki he then asked "Y-Yuki, can you launch an attack into the entrance. I k-know you have the skill to do what is needed."
Yuki nodded and everyone else moved back aways hoping Rai and Y2K would follow suit. Raising her arms over her head a dark ball of energy formed growing until it was roughly as big as she was before she said "Dark Inferno Bomb!" She then lobbed it into the entrance the dark orb hitting the lab causing the place to collapse from within various fragments scattering around. Vemmon looked much more comfortable that at least that lab was not remotely salvageable.
"I t-think we should destroy any labs like this if w-we find them after entering to see if any potential sibling can be saved from the p-programming to become a potential puppet is completed." Vemmon said.
Noticing that Y2K was upset at the prospect of leaving Kazumi said "Don't worry, Y2K. Maybe we can hang out again some other time. Who knows? Maybe by then there will be another friend for you to meet."
OOC: Dark Inferno Bomb: Channels her energy into a large ball of dark energy roughly as big as she is before she throws it at her target. (Cooldown 1 post)

Rai and Y2K indeed stepped back with the rest as Yuki blue the door to kingdom come. Well he supposed he probably could have let Y2K eat the mouse then. Oh well. He'll eat well when they go home. Vemmon seemed to have the right idea about this business of his. "I hope you find as many of these labs as there are left then; and that you can help your sibling somehow."
Y2K was easily mollified by the promise that he could spend time with them again later and that said later meeting could introduce yet more friends. "Ahhh... Okay! Kekeke! We'll find eachother again later and have fun!" if a Keramon's face could sparkle... this one's would.
Rai sighed. "There's a bakery in Downtown Shibuya called The RyuRyu Bakery. You can find me there outside school hours. Its my parent's business, so stop by if you'd like to buy any baked goods." he hadn't really offered a way to find him again to Kshin and the others. Maybe next time he'd fix that. That other tamer Ryuji and his partner Yoshihiro at least already knew the place.
"Good luck blowing up doors! When I can make big blasts like that, I'll come and help!" Y2K promised. Great Rai thought. Y2K was making commitments for him again without asking. He pointed his digivice infront of him.
"Ready Y2K?" Rai asked. There was going to be a pretty short window once he activated the Digi-Port.
"Hmm... Okay! Byeee! Kyeheh!" he called and waved as the portal to Trailmon Station appeared and both the Keramon and his human partner disappeared though it.

Seeing Y2K become happy again made Kazumi smile. Then Rai mentioned the RyuRyu Bakery in Downtown Shibuya. Apparently Rai's parents owned the business. "Maybe I will." Kazumi said with a smile.
Meanwhile Vemmon took notice of Y2K wishing them luck with handling the labs and said maybe when he can make big blasts he can help. "I w-would be more than willing to accept your help, Y2K. I'm s-sure you'll be pretty strong one day and more than able to k-keep Rai safe." Vemmon said with another equivalent of one of his smiles.
Soon Rai and Y2K left through a Digiport and Kazumi rounded up her forces by calling them back into her Xros Loader. When she cleared the jungle she let them all out, even Koko, before climbing inside the large canine followed by her other partners. Then Koko turned away from the jungle before they took off at their normal fast pace. Perhaps with more research they could find Snatchmon's other labs and shut them down. Sure it would only slow the creep down but any method to hinder the enemy would be helpful even if it was small.
