Society hill was a place Antonio didn't have too much consideration for. While many residents actually quite respectable and friendly, others simply thought themselves as superior, often mistreating him. At least this time he was meeting with ones of the respectable ones. The owner of a nearby restaurant who had promissed he would make him a discount on his restaurant since the day Antonio offered to repair his oven for free.
Today he was going to that restaurant again. This time he brought not just Henrique, at the moment inside his bag in his in-training form, but also two new friends, Tatsuya and Dodomon.
"Hi mister Antonio. How are you doing? I haven't seen you in a while." size someone behind them. Antonio turned and saw the owner of the restaurante, Tomiyui Ogata.
"Oh hi! Sorry I didn`t see you. I was just about to get into the restaurante. May I ask you if that discount still applies, and if it applies to my friend Tatsuya here?" António greeted.
"Sure, you were really nice back then with my oven. Nice to meet you Tatsuya , my name`s Tomiyui Ogata. Now, would you two mind giving me a hand here? This crates are harder to carry for my old back than they should."
Indeed, the restaurant owner was a bit old, his white hair growing quite a bit to the back and his beard being no close to short. Skinny and pale were other adjectives that described the green-eyed man.
"Sure, I`ll help you. Maybe you want to go to the table ahead Tatsuya?" António said as he picked up a couple of crates "Lead the way, Mr. Tomiyui."

Tatsuya followed Antonio through Society Hill with Dorimon in his backpack. Although many people could find themselves uncomfortable in that residential area, since it was the one where the rich families had their huge mansions complemented by the fanciest stores and restaurants of almost the entire city of Tokyo. Wouldn't eating there be a little bit expensive for them? He questioned Antonio about this fact.
-Hey, Antonio... Won't this be very expensive? -he said, as they entered a restaurant and one person surprised his new acquaintance from behind. -Hi mister Antonio. How are you doing? I haven't seen you in a while -a voice said, which made the other Tamer turn around with a smile.
-Oh hi! Sorry I didn`t see you. I was just about to get into the restaurante. May I ask you if that discount still applies, and if it applies to my friend Tatsuya here? -the Tamer asked, and the answer was affirmative. Tatsuya smiled slightly. So Antonio, probably with Tooldramon's help, had repaired the owner's oven expecting nothing in return, and they had been nice enough to give him a discount for him and friends that he brought.
The restaurant owner asked them for help carrying a few crates. Antonio quickly accepted and told Tatsuya that he could lead the way to the table and he would follow later, but it didn't seem appropiate of him. -No way, man. I'll help as well, mister Ogata -the eighteen year old said, picking three of them at once by piling them and grabbing the lower one. His body was toned and well-trained, so that was easier for him that many would expect.
-So, where should we leave this? -asked Tatsuya, as the old man pointed him towards a door signaled as "PRIVATE" in Japanese. Entering behind him, he left the crates where he was indicated, and when he finished, he questioned if there was any other way to help, but the old man negated with a smile, which indicated Tatsuya that they were ready to sit on their table.
-Okay, thanks! -the friendly teen said, with a smile. -Oh, no, thank you-the old man said, returning the smile. Tatsuya was always willing to lend a helping hand, expecting nothing in return. After all, it had only been one or two minutes of his time. Picking an empty table, slightly hidden by the decoration, he took a sit, and unzipped his backpack. Immediately, Dorimon's snout rose from the depths of the bag.
-Fwoooooooooooood... -he muttered in a zombie-like way.

(OOC: The word "lovers" in this post is a boyfriend-girlfriend style of thing, nothing relating to anyone cheating on anyone) After carrying the crates, António and Tatsuya headed for the table. A good thing aout this restaurant, every table was against the Wall and all had curtains to allow the people who came to eat there to have privacy. Mister Ogata told him it was ment to allow lovers to have some privacy, but António had given it a new purpouse: To allow them to eat at a restaurant with their digimon without being found.
António closed the curtains from tehy`re table quickly to avoid anyone seeing Dodomon who Tatsuya had just let out of the bag and was now seemingly hypnotized by the smell of food. António opened up his own bag, letting Henrique out, before he picked the D-3 and evolved his friend to rookie. Then both António and Henrique took a Menu from the table and began to look at the contents. It didn`t take long for them to decide what they wanted.
"I`m gonna order now. You got your order ready? And Dodomon`s?" António asked. Henrique got under the table, knowing he could stay there without being seen until the food arrived. "By the way you sould hide him before we order, at least until the food arrives to avoid suprises." António rised from his seat "I`ll take a margarita pizza and Henrique`s goona take a four-cheese pizza. And you two?"

As Dorimon's flat snout popped out of the bag, Tatsuya decided to unzip it and let him stay out for a while, just as Antonio had done with Henrique. After the In-Training had jumped out of his "clwoth confinement dwevice", as he liked to call it, it immediately sit down as well as his short limbs allowed him to. Obviously, that lousy Tooldramon wasn't going to win the bet! -"Yow'll see... I'm nwot going to lwose!" -he thought as Tatsuya passed him a menu. He did not understand a word! What in the Digital World was "fetuccini"?
-Taaaatsuyaaaa... I cwan't wead this! What is "fetukino"? The teen sighed, but then chuckled. -It's called "fetuccini", dummy. It's pasta, which is somehow similar to noodles, but tastes amazing! Would you like that? It's got a cheese sauce garrison -he asked his partner. He did love cheese, so he would definately go for those, but what would Dorimon say?
-Oh... mmmkay then, I want it too! -the evolved form of Dodomon said, trying his best to smile. As Antonio asked them if he already knew what he and his partner would have, he had to explain the change of his Digimon. -Actually, it's Dorimon now. I let him digivolve to be able to move better around here. What would they think if they knew something like a dog is eating from a plate? -the teen laughed, as he pointed towards the "fetuccini" word in the menu, signaling Antonio that it would be what they would have.
-What will you have? You have been here before, right? What's the best food in here? Pizza, pasta? Or something completely different? -he asked in a friendly way. He was curious on what Antonio's tastes for food would be, however it was clear that they both liked Italian food very much. As the other Tamer said that they would order a pizza, he also warned Tatsuya to hide his partner until the food arrived. With a sigh and a "fwiiiiiine", Dorimon went into the bag again, just in time because a waiter arrived and asked them if they were ready to order. With a half smile, Tatsuya said: -A margarita and a four cheese pizza, and two fetuccini, please.
The waiter looked stranged, but he guessed that boys ate that much nowadays. -So, to kill some time before food arrives. You said you've been to the Digital World and were cornered up by a gang of Beelzemon, right? How did you get into such a troublesome event?

The choice of food between Dorimon and Tatsuya was actually quite amusing to watch, as many other scenes from the life of those revealed to be. Since Dorimon couldn't read the menu, he trusted Tatsuya's words on the subject. Both Antonio and Henrique smiled at the thought that there was in fact some trust between the two of them, some ground to work they're relationship from.
After they ordered the food, Tatsuya asked a questioned on the Beelzemon incident.
"Well, at that time, Henrique wasn't able to to go beyond in-training. That means he couldn't go beyond baby-brain Henrique. Anyway I was chasing him when we met this guy Teris, a twin digimon tamer. We found this weird elevator in the train station which led to a floor we didn't know about. There we found this weird trains and hoped in and they took us to the digital world. In the place where we left, we found western movie style village. Some guys were more friendly, others not so much, but no one trying to kill us. Until the night we slept at the Xerif's home in his old friend's room. He told us the story about how he became Xerif after the previous one and his friend got killed in a raid by a Beelzemon gang on a village. They even left this digimon Peacockmon who went there and collect a sort of tax under the threat of the Belzemon came back. Me and Teris decided to stand up to Peacockmon. We managed to drive him away, but unfortunatly the beelzemon were nearby to collect their prize and found out we helped the village get rid of Peacockmon. We tried to fight back, Henrique even evolved to rookie for the first time, but it went wrong. You see the beelzemon were mega level, so we got crushed. We could have been killed if not for the Xerif stepping in trying to reason with the beelzemons. They killed him and drives away, laughting like crazy." Antonio told Tatsuya a lot of pain in his words, despite his attempt to explain things methodically. "Oh look, the food's here!"

Tatsuya listened to Antonio's story with interest. He still did not know how they had managed to get themselves into some serious trouble, because a gang of Megas going for a Rookie level? That was suicidal, to say the least. He hoped they wouldn't find any in their trips across the Digital World, or at least, none that were aggresive, because he was sure Dorimon would try to fight him nonetheless.
So, it seemeed that they had met with a guy named Teris and had gone to a village that had been previously assaulted by a group of Beelzemon, who left a Digimon, Peacockmon, in charge of collecting taxes so they wouldn't come back to destroy the village. Obviously they had stood up against the Peacockmon, with the bad luck that the Beelzemon were around to collect the taxes by themselves, so in the end, they got crushed by them. Finally they killed the Xerif and went away, laughing. Tatsuya could percieve the grief and pain in Antonio's words, and clenched his fist. On the other hand, his digimon, still under the table, started to shiver at first, but then his gaze became enraged, beast-like in appearence.
-"The weak in fear of the strong..." -he thought, angered. Why was it that almost everyone they had met had a dire story in which that factor always prevailed? To Tatsuya, this was just a saddening story, but to his partner... It was reality. Luckily, the tension was cut by the food arriving to the table. As he thanked the waiter and pulled the curtains again, hiding them from sight, he picked up Dorimon from the table. A second after, he was looking at the pasta with a strange look.
-How am I supposed to eawt that? -he asked Tatsuya, who chuckled in return. -Well, it's easier when you have thumbs and stuff. You pick the fork, spin it a little, and put it in your mouth... but I guess you'll have to eat them directly from the plate -he sighed, pulling the cheese-covered pasta into his mouth and munching on it with his eyes closed, enjoying the food. Dorumon seemed to find the end of one of the noodles, and started sucking it, quickly imitating his partner's reaction, while purring with pleasure.
-So I guess it's better to try and stay out of trouble... unless until you can handle it, right? -Tatsuya asked, swallowing the pasta he had been chewing on.

Dorimon`s reaction to the stroy was anger. But not the sort of childish anger Dorimon seemed to frequently have, but rather a sort of anger against the injustice of life, in which was noticeable what seemed a desire to protect "the weak", someting far more mature António or Henrique were expecting from that digimon.
Still, the food arrived, and as soon as the waiter left, closing the curtains behind her, Henrique rose from under the table, his tong out like a dog.
"This smells great! How long has it been since we had been to a restaurant? We have to go more often." Henrique asked his partner
"Yesterday, you glutton." António answered, leaving Henrique rather embarassed.
Then Dorimon asked Tatsuya how to eat his food. Tatsuya replyed it was easier to eat with thumbs and a fork and all, but Dorimon would just have to eat directly from the plate. The digimon dived into his food, but Henrique came up with na idea.
"Tool Box!" Henrique said, lifting his arm. The box from his hand opened, shooting a small mechanical arm into the air which on the table.
"Henrique, what is this?" António wondered
"This is a prostetic arm. It is a model for children, so it fits Dorimon well enought. His just has to push that cavity there, and it acts a bit like a remote control for the rest of the arm. I found this in a dumpyard a few days ago, and I thought it might come in handy. Basicly, Dorimon can use this to eat with a fork, this is, if he wants to." Henrique explained.
Tatsuya commented about not getting into trouble unless one could handle it, still on the Beelzemon topic.
"I think you`re right." António said, taking a bite in his pizza at last.
"Actually, it`s best to say not to get into trouble unless you have a terribly good reason to do it. Because troubles can, well, grow." Henrique stated.

Tatsuya looked at Dorimon as he munched on the pasta, stranged. Sure, he had reacted to the story the same way he had, but... why? He had no reasons. His partner had always said that he was going to beat up every Digimon or human that stood in his way, though he had done a good job, preventing it so far. Then, how could he explain the sudden change in his partner's visage?
As Tooldramon used a move called Tool Box, very fitting, he gave Dorumon a prostetic arm that would allow him to eat with a fork, if he pleased. However, the little digimon ignored this as he continued to eat the fetuccini. His baby brain only allowed him to focus on a few things, and at that time they were hunger and food. As his partner kept eating, Tatsuya continued the conversation with their new friends.
-Actually, it's best to say not to get into trouble unless you have a terribly good reason to do it. Because troubles can, well, grow -the Tooldramon told Tatsuya as he ate a pizza slice. The eighteen year old leaned to adopt a more relaxed stance, and scratched the back of his head. He remembered how they had faced Charles the first time they met.
-I guess you're right... but I agree that it's kind of difficult to stay put and do nothing while beings such as Peacockmon or the Beelzemon are doing their bidding just because... well, just because they can, to be realistic. The Digital World seems to have the law of the jungle... eat or be eaten. Am I right?
Without anyone noticing, Dorumon flickered his eyes to his partner. -"Yeah... you humans have no idea" -he thought, resented, but kept eating his food. As Tatsuya pulled out his Digivice, he started playing with it to see what he could discover. So far, he had been able to use the Analyzer and Digivolution functions, but were there more to it? After a few pressed buttons, a hologram popped out and extended from the screen, giving their location.
-Hmm... Interesting, a map function... Say, Antonio, what kinds of Digimon did you meet in your travels in the Digital World, apart from the ones you mentioned? Have you seen other Dorimon? -he asked, curious to see if there were more than one.

Dorimon seemed to ignore Henrique`s gift. Then Tatsuya spoke of how hard it was the thought of not doing anything, while people like Peacockmon and the beelzemon`s lived around the "law of the jungle": "eat or get eaten".
"Yeah, I know what you mean." António told Tatsuya
"We fell to that same mistake." Henrique commented
"Hey, it wasn`t a mistake. Those people deserved to be helped." António explained
"And we ended up making things worse!" Henrique nearly shouted, leaving António completly stunned. They didn`t have a fight for a long time. What had just happened?
Fortunatly Tatsuya broke the tension with a lighter question, snapping António of his stun.
"Yeah...yeah there are tons of digimon in the digital world. I`d say at least as many as the humans on the real world." He explained to Tatsuya.
Suddenly they heard screams from the kitchen.
"I`ll go there and see what`s going on. Henrique stay here" António said and he left the booth, heading for the kitchen. In truth it was a bit humiliating for Henrique to see his tamer go check on the problem, while he, the digimon, the being with like sobrenatural powers, stayed at the table hiding like a frightned chicken.
António walked to the kitchen to see the owner, Tomiyui Ogata lying on the floor with all the staff looking at him , frightned of something. The man wasn`t dead or even passed out, but he had this creepy, terrified look in his face.
"That thing... that thing just robbed me. What was that thing?" the man mumbled. António ran back to the table.
"I think the restaurant has just been robbed by a digimon." António told those still at the table.

Tatsuya broke a small fight between Antonio and Henrique with his question. He felt slightly bad, as he had been the one to trigger it, in one way. However, he quickly got his answer, which meant the other Tamer was also ready to forget about all of that and continue with the conversation between them. -Yeah...yeah there are tons of digimon in the digital world. I`d say at least as many as the humans on the real world -Antonio answered as Tatsuya listened, interested in his words. Well, he wanted to see the Digital World someday, so it was good to know beforehand.
Suddenly a scream broke the peace inside the restaurant. Antonio quickly stood up to check what was going on, as he commanded his Digimon to stay under the table. Tatsuya also stood still in his seat, but this changed as Dorimon's eyes narrowed. -I smwell Digimon... -he muttered. -Are you sure that it's not just a broken... -I think the restaurant has been robbed by a Digimon -Antonio said, cutting Tatsuya in the middle of his sentence.
-Twold ya, dumbass! -Dorimon mumbled, slightly angry. There hadn't been a time when his nose had failed him, and this time it was not going to be different. Apologizing to his partner, Tatsuya then turned his attention to the other human. -Then we should go and check what in the world could be going on. I mean, we are the ones that can take care of this problem, after all...
As he stood up and put Dorimon in his backpack, he remembered Henrique's words. "Trouble can just get worse if you involve in it". However, there was no way for him to stay back when he had the chance to act. -Well then... -he said, taking the remaining pasta into his mouth in one go --let's go!

Antonio recerted Henrique into in-training and shoved him his bag before sprinting off back to the kitchen .
"We'll be back in a minute mister Ogata!" Antonio shouted as he left throught the back door. He saw something shine in the darkness of the night and he followed it. Whatever it was, it certainly wasn't human, yet it loooked...familiar. Too familar. Antonio kept the causing until whoever it was gave the wrong turn into an alley. Knowing it was a digimon, Antonio let Henrique out and evolved him to rookie again. The digimon turned.
"It's...the xerif!" Henrique claimed.
"But... He died! And the color are switched." Antonio stated. Indeed this seemed to be the xerif they had met and that had sacrificed himself for them, but it seemed like his body had been run throught a negative spectrum...abd so did his personality.
"I am the xerif! I will bring justice to foul land of injustice!" the xerif shouted, raising the bag of money from his right hand.
"Xerif, what are you saying? Don`t you recognise us?" António cried out, but it seemed to be pointless.
"Get out of my way!" the deranged digimon shouted at them "Or I`ll make you regret getting in the way of justice!"
(OOC: Introducing the Nega-infection Xerif attacks: Meteor Shower-creates a rain of meteors that fall onto the enemies. Hypnotism- Briefly induces an oponent into fighting for him, by hitting it with an hypnotic ray that flies from his hands. Star Upper: Throws a sort of ninja star agaisnt the oponent. Xerif`s species: NegaStarmon
Also the xerif is a starmon with the copies run through a negative spectrum. So... this: )

As they left the restaurant, Tatsuya and Dorimon followed Antonio and Henrique through a few streets and alleys until the Digimon that had caused that ruckus in the restaurant finally met himself with a dead end. Slowly turning, Tatsuya gasped as Henrique called out for someone that he believed was dead. -It's... the Xerif!! -the newly evolved Tooldramon said in disbelief, with Antonio saying that it had died, and pointing out that the colours were shifted now.
The star-like Digimon then spoke, saying that he was indeed Xerif and that he would bring justice to the world. However, the action of stealing someone else's money was everything but just. Tatsuya's new friends desperately tried to reach the Digimon's heart, but it was in vain, as it did not seem to recognize them both. -Antonio, I'm sorry to say this, but he doesn't seem to know who you are.
The teen then stepped forward, and tried to talk the situation out with the rogue Digimon. -Wait! Antonio told me what happened in your village! Weren't you good before? What happened to you? What are you doing this? -the teen attempted to get the NegaStarmon to answer, but he didn't know if he would be able to. The answer would most likely be silence, or a plain "What are you talking about?".
Dorimon reached out of the bag, and Tatsuya noticed. Thus, he put his partner on the ground, facing the threat, although it seemed much, much stronger than Dorimon was at that moment. -I dwon't know who you awe, but I couldn't finish mwy "feteccino" because of your intewwuption. I'm hungwy and I'm angwy, so get weady to be beaten! -the In-Training said in a futile attempt to appear menacing.

"Before? I don't know what you mean stranger, but this sure looks like you are trying to trick me. I AM the good guy here, and taking this money from a thief. And I'll do what it takes to bring justice, so I'll say it one last time, get out of my way." the xerif replied. Henrique was beggining to feel like this might not be the same digimon as the one they met before but Antonio didn't seem to agree.
"It's like he's been brainwashed or something." Antonio replied " Please, you can't do this!"
"Ok, I warned ya! Star Upper!" The xerif shouted. A giant ninja star appeared on his hand and he hurled it at Antonio.
"Watch out!" Henrique cried out jumping and knocking down his tamer just in time to avoid having him be sliced in half by the ninja star. "Antonio go hide, I'll handle the xerif with Dorimon."
"No, you can't fight him, he saved us!" Antonio replied.
"I'm not even sure it is the same.." Henrique began before the Negastarmon began his "meteor shower" attack, causing a rain of meteorites to fall from the sky. Henrique got himself over Antonio, getting hit by all the meteors directed at his tamer. "He doesn't seem to be as strong, but it will be risky to take him down. I hope Tatsuya and Dorimon avoided the meteors better than me."
"Henrique...we have to go." Antonio grabbing his device and evolving Henrique and taking him to hiding a few buildings from there. As he run, he called out for Tatsuya. "Tatsuya, Dorimon here!"
The Xerif seemed pleased to see them running.

As he had thought, Tatsuya's words meant absolutely nothing for the strange, star-shaped Digimon that had robbed the restaurant where they had just eaten. -Before? I don't know what you mean stranger, but this sure looks like you are trying to trick me. I AM the good guy here, and taking this money from a thief. And I'll do what it takes to bring justice, so I'll say it one last time, get out of my way -it said, warning them once again. Antonio, however, didn't give up and tried to talk with him, which lead to the Digimon using an attack, which Henrique managed to save Antonio from.
As Henrique told his Tamer to hide and let him and Dorimon take care of the NegaStarmon, the latter used yet another move in which he summoned meteors that came falling down from the sky. Henrique had to step in front of it to protect his Tamer, but Tatsuya quickly picked Dorumon and jumped out of the way, thanks to the fast reflexes he had developed thanks to his karate training. -Owkay, lwet me down! I'm going to take cawe of him! -the In-Training fiercely said, albeit Tatsuya doubted he could do it. For now, they decided to follow Antonio's lead, and decided to run away, with the NegaStarmon watching, satisfied.
As he reached his friend, the indigo-eyed teen spoke. -Why is he attacking us if you know him? Are you sure it's the same Digimon? -he asked. At first it seemed as a stupid question to him, but after watching the NegaStarmon's actions, he did have a point: maybe it was a completely different person, after all. Using his Digivice, he searched for Starmon, and found it, but it seemed different to the one that was attacking him.
-"Just... what is that guy?"

António thought they would be safe in the alley, so he let Henrique go. The in-training turned to him, seeming upset.
"I`m sorry, but I simply can`t harm our friend. He did save us with those beelzemon, so there`s gotta be another way." António .
"Tónio, that xewif, not we xewif. That bad xewif. We xewif dead." Henrique replied the best he could.
"Henrique...he had the bullet mark." António revealed.
"What?" Henrique asked
"The bullet mark. Near that crystal on his head, there is the mark, the beelzemon`s shot left on him, even thought it`s hard to see in the dark. That IS our xerif, don`t ask me how, cause I don`t know, but he is alive and he`s the guy we just found. And we have to wake him up." then Tatsuya arrived, asking two questions António basicly had just answered "Yes, I am sure. As for why he is attacking us, I haven`t got a clue."
Then Tatsuya saw something on his digivice, followed by him questioning what the xerif was, which left António really confused.
"What do you mean by that?" António asked. As he said that, the Xerif passed in front of them, running and laughting. The laughter sounded evil, but also almost forced, like the Xerif was trying to resist something. For Henrique this was the final drop.
"I fwight bad Xewif. You with me Dowimon?" Henrique stated before running out of the alley. "Hey xewif! Porcupine Swing!"
Henrique curled up as his porcupine spines erupted from his body, before Henrique lauched himself agaisnt the Xerif.
"I am tired of this mess! Hypnotism!" the Xerif shouted and a red beam came from his hands straight for Henrique, stopping the in-training in the mid-air. Henrique fell to the ground.
"Henrique, are you ok?" António, who had left the alley after his partner, asked. Henrique stood on his four legs, growling. He turned to Dorimon.
"Blinding Moss!" Henrique screamed, shooting a pile of mud from his mouth against Dorimon.
