[There's a new arrival on the network today. She's dressed like she's ready for a performance, but she doesn't really look happy about her situation. Anyone familiar with the area will notice Hibiki's taken to Tokyo Tower to try and figure out where the heck her apartment is.

She doesn't realize her device is filming, mostly because she's just trying out.]

—does it even work? Hey, Psychetaro, can't you even tell me that?

That's not my name, and if I teach you everything, you won't learn.

[There's a bit of joy to Psychemon's voice as he stands on a railing behind Hibiki, almost like...he's enjoying antagonizing her.]

If I can't figure it out, I can't learn it! And what about where we're going to live? I can't see it, even from up here!

If I don't tell you, you'll get a better feel for the city, right?

T-that's not the issue here! I need to ask everyone where F3...004 is! Just tell me how to turn it on!

I'm sure you'll figure something out! Besides, you already turned it on about thirty seconds ago.

...H-huh? [Blink.] ...Are you tryin' to be cute? T-that's not funny at all! [Oh. Wait. It is recording.] How do I turn it off?!

[After a few seconds of fumbling, Hibiki manages to turn off her communicator.]

[Psychemon snickers behind her, because Hibiki just doesn't get it.]

Oh! Okay, then! Yep, I'm an idol. Hibiki Ganaha, from Okinawa! It's nice to meet ya! ...I think!

I thought so ... Okinawa?

[ She had a photoshoot there before for a Summer-themed photobook. ]

I visited there before ...

Okinawa, the best place on Earth!

...Though I've been working out of Tokyo, which is pretty great, too.

It couldn't be easy though. I was in Tokyo for a while for work too and it was pretty hard at first.

[ Before, she used to live with other idols. Once she became popular, she was able to live on her own. ]

I'm an --- I mean ... I was an idol too so I know what its like.

Sometimes I get lost, but it's not too bad. I've been workin' there for a while now!

[She lives with eleven pets. Eleven.]

No way! What's your name? Maybe I've heard of ya! I definitely don't recognize ya, though.

My name is Rise, but my stage name is Risette.

[ Laughs. ]

You might not believe this, but I don't think we're from the same world. Because if we were, I don't think it is possible that you don't.

[ Because Rise is pretty much confident. ]

Risette is pretty popular back home.

H-huh? What do you mean, different worlds?

[Risette...it doesn't ring a bell at all.]

I-I haven't heard of ya, but maybe you've heard of me? I'm on TV all the time! I host an animal program every week!

No. I haven't heard of you at all. That is what I am trying to tell you.

It's not likely we're from the same world. The industry isn't that big. If we were, wouldn't we at least heard of each other. We would be rivals after all.

I guess we would be rivals or somethin', huh?

[Hibiki's nonchalant about that. Meeting another idol here isn't going to make her competitive or anything.]

...But w-wait, what's all this stuff about different worlds? I don't get it at all!

I don't blame you. It took me a while to understand it as well. Not to mention believe it!

[ But after being kidnapped and shoved into a television, a digital world didn't seem so unbelievable anymore. ]

It is a little hard to explain too ...

Does your world have superheroes?

Yeah, you're tellin' me! This is way too much for a normal person to take in, right? What're they thinkin'?

[She leans back against the railing with a sigh. She's a bit fired up now. Really...]

You mean like characters from a manga, right? Or a comic book?

I wish I could help you there, but I am not too sure myself. But I do know one thing. They want us to help them save this world.

[ At least this next subject will be an interesting one. ]

That's right. We don't have them back where I am from. [ At least not like Terra, Kaldur and Wally. Is she and the gang considered superheroes? They did have powers. Sort of. ]

How about you?

And that's another thing! Why am I saving this world exactly? I've never even heard of it! Gyaaah, it just makes no sense! I don't want anyone to get hurt, but this is all a giant mess!

[No, Hibiki is just going to yell a little of her frustration out. There's nothing interesting about it!]

Mm, there's no real heroes, but what does that have to do with anything? You're not gonna tell me that we're heroes, are ya? They don't cover this in idol school...

I never thought about that. But I guess ... I am doing this because I don't want anyone to get hurt. I can't exactly just sit back and do nothing, can I?

[ After experiencing being so powerless against herself --- this was something she could do and at least she wouldn't be alone. ]

Not really. I guess I was just doing a bad job explaining about other worlds ...

[ More importantly --- ] --- you went to idol school?!

Well, maybe you can't, but I just got here...I've got plenty of questions to ask 'em, I don't really know if anyone's in danger or not!

[See, she isn't attached at all. Have a digimon, don't slam the door on your way out! She shakes her head.]

Mm, in Okinawa! I'm in high school now, though. It's a lot of work, but I make it happen!

Hey, don't worry. No one can blame you. It isn't like you asked to be brought here.

[ Changing focus of topic. ]

I actually didn't start going to idol school until I moved to Tokyo. I'm in high school too. It was a lot of work. Juggling all those jobs and trying to give time to in school for number hours needed to graduate.

And what kinda people kidnap you and then ask you to save them? It's all backwards!

[Good luck with that, Rise.]

Hehe, I had to study hard to get into a good high school! It's a lot of work, but I can take care of everyone and have lots of fun, too! I wouldn't have it any other way.

People who are desperate?

[ ;w; ]

I know how you feel. The hard work and my friends were a lot of the things that made work so much fun ...

[ She becomes very quiet. Reflecting on her decision a bit. But it was still hard to forget the image of what her job represents. ]

More like people who aren't payin' attention...

[She shakes her head.] That's part of why I've gotta get back. Everyone back home is countin' on me...I don't know how long I can stay here like this.

I know how you feel. I am actually a little worried about my friends too.

We've been workin' so hard together lately...Hey, do ya think it's possible to send 'em a message or somethin'? Maybe then our friends won't have to worry about us!

I don't think it hurts to ask!

Mm! So, where do I go to ask somethin' like that?

Maybe our sempai-Chosen Ones might know something.

Chosen ones? I think I heard somethin' about that...
