[When the feed starts up, Guilmon cracks a gigantic smile and waves at the camera.]

Hi, everybody!

[He turns around, surveying some of the rubble-- it looks like he's in the middle of Roaming Park... or what's left of it. Splintered remnants of trees lie in a heap in the background, and for a few seconds, he looks over his shoulder before turning his gaze back to the camera.]

I know there's lots of damage out there, and I'm sure most of you are still tired from all the fighting. We're gonna have to do a lot of cleaning up, I bet, and I've already seen people talking about it. But what Guilmon was wondering is if we could have some kind of big training party! ...When we're done cleaning up, anyway.

[Yes, he just used training and party in the same sentence.]

With everyone getting their crests, that means your Digimon can evolve to Ultimate, right? But they might not be used to their new forms and attacks. Plus, there could always be more bad Digimon out there. So, if we all trained together, we might be able to do an even better job if more bad guys show up. And now that Takato's here, I can evolve to all the levels-- all the way to Mega! So, Guilmon would be happy to help if you wanna go up against someone super strong.

[Oh, and there's something else, Guilmon realizes, once his stomach starts growling.]

Me and Takato were thinking of making a big bunch of Guilmon bread for it, if anyone wants to come! And you could bring other food if you wanted to. Fighting takes a lot of energy, and I know I wouldn't want to evolve on an empty stomach. That'd be hard!

So does that sound like a good idea? Guilmon sure hopes so...

[Food? Yes please. Even though he can't reach the Ultimate level yet he wants to attend.]

What's Guilmon bread?

[guilmon]

It's the best kind of bread!

[Guilmon reaches up and points at his face.]

Bread shaped like Guilmon's head! Sometimes it's even got peanut butter filling that makes it super sweet.

[He licks his lips as he says this. Just thinking about it makes him hungry.]

[guilmon]

Thank you! Guilmon hoped that people would like it...

[This is satisfying. He came up with a good idea!]

Will you be bringing both of your Digimon? I don't know if the new ones can evolve yet, but I think it'd be good for them to train, too!

[whatisthislife]

[It takes a moment for BlackWargreymon to speak. The damage he took in the battle with Dukemon has mostly repaired by now, though his armor is still in bad shape.

His eyes are downcast, and his words are slow, and careful - and without any confidence.]

I would...like to join. If...that is acceptable.

[guilmon]

[Guilmon stares at the camera for a few seconds, shifting in place and fighting back the frown that's stretching across his face. This Digimon wanted to hurt so many people!

...

And yet, who's to say that it was really his fault? He could have been infected by the virus, too.

After a few more moments, Guilmon lets out a soft sigh.]

That's okay. Guilmon's sure that having more Mega levels would help...

[Still...]

But promise not to actually hurt anyone, okay? Guilmon needs to make sure you're not bad anymore.

[heartdive]

Training party!

[guilmon]

Yes! A training party with bread, too!

[He waves his arms and chants.]

Guilmon bread, Guilmon bread, bread shaped just like Guilmon's head! And other food. What kind of food do you like?

[While Kaldur hates seeing all this destruction again, he is pleased to see Guilmon again and looking so happy at that. He smiles in response and is soon joined by Sedna who happened to hear someone mention "training"]

I was thinking of something similar myself actually. It is a good idea Guilmon.

Yeah, especially with all these new guys around. They're going to be COMPLETELY useless unless we do something about it.

[Sedna looks over to her left and ANOTHER digimon wanders on screen. It is a Kotemon and he tilts his head, a sign of his confusion. When he talks his voice is childish, yet raspy.]

You are not talking about myself are you? I have trained for this day. I am just as ready as yourself.

[Sedna snorts and Kaldur smiles weakly.]

Let us know what we can do to help set up. I may not be able to get Sedna to Mega level, but I could perhaps help those understand how to activate their crests.

[video]

[guilmon]

Aww, I don't know if I'd call them useless. We all have to start somewhere, and even Rookie levels can be strong if you let them. You should've seen Renamon before she evolved! She fought Champion levels all by herself and won.

[Well, most of the time... and with help from Ruki's cards. All the same, Guilmon's not here to knock the newbies, and he'll shoot the Kotemon a reassuring smile.]

If you can help with the crests, that'd be great, though. Me and Takato don't have one of those, since we use cards to reach Ultimate. Anything you can share would be great!

[bigsoftie]

[And before Leatherhead can even speak Monodramon leaps atop his shoulder.]

Training?! I can do that?! I can train lots and Duke can come!

[guilmon]

Haa...?

[Guilmon rubs his eyes, making sure he didn't see things. Or hear things. After all, this Monodramon's so... happy. So energetic! It's like Duke's total opposite in every way.

He's okay with this.]

Giru. You're Leatherhead's new partner?

[lovespinkbirdies]

I think that's a really good idea Guilmon! Biyomon and I will definitely be there so we can help!

voice

[guilmon]

Ah, good! Guilmon remembers how strong he was as Aquilamon. His attacks still hurt, even when I was Megidramon!

[allidoiswin]

I'd like to train. [ Clearly.

... but she does have two Digimon who need it! ]

[guilmon]

[This is no surprise! Of course, Guilmon's not the sarcastic type, so he responds with a great big nod.]

Guilmon would love to train with you! But will you be bringing your Digimon, too? Guilmon's never fought another Guilmon before...

[fuhrinkaed]

[Did you say training?! I love training!]

Did you say training?! I love training!

Hi Guilmon!

[guilmon]

Mm! Training with food and friends and... well, hopefully lots of space, because if we start evolving, we don't want to break anything. When I'm WarGrowlmon, I'm huuuuge.

[He stretches his arms out to emphasize this... and promptly stops when he sees Ed's Guilmon, instead waving his arms like crazy.]

Ah, and hi, Guilmon! Guilmon hasn't seen you in a long time!

[changelingdude]

Hey dude...

So uh...sorry about being a jerk when I got back. I know everyone was acting crazy but, we're buds. So you deserve an apology.

[guilmon]

Don't worry! Guilmon knows you didn't mean it.

[He points at himself, smiling sheepishly.]

Besides, you didn't turn into a big, scary Digimon and hurt people!

[lionhearted_destiny]

[Juri's smiling; behind her, there's a bouncing Frimon.] You look a lot better Guilmon. I think training's just what everyone needs. With their partners, after all...

[A tiny wavering to her smile.]

[guilmon]

[He sees that wavering smile... and then he sees Frimon, giving him a little wave.]

Is something wrong, Juri?

[happiestberry]

Miwako can finally get to try Guilmon bread?

[guilmon]

Mm! We'll make a biiig batch.

[He stretches his arms out as wide as he can stretch them for emphasis.]

We want to make sure there's enough for everyone, which means lots and lots of fresh bread.

[...]

...We may need a really big table for that.

[thebiggestdreamer]

...So, how many people should I put down on the list?

(Takato's pretty sure a lot of Chosen are coming out, and he's spent most of the past few days getting the proper items for cooking.)

[guilmon]

Well, which way should we list it, Takato? There's all the Tamers, but then there's their Digimon... oh, and their new Digimon.

[His face scrunches up in thought, and then he reaches up to scratch one of his cheeks.]

...I think we'll need a lot of bread.
