[There's another recent arrival on-screen, this time a girl accompanied by a Gabumon.]

Being pulled from our home worlds and brought to a completely different environment, to meet creatures we never knew existed and save their home from a threat none of us know about.

That's quite a lot to expect of Children. [She's seen herself that not everyone fits the "14 and below" description, but such as the collective term for them stands.]

[Sprout paused a bit, sparing a glance at Choco, who simply shrugs. Then she turned back to Gabumon.]

Well...apparently there was this big bad Digimon who took all the Chosens' original partners, broke off a piece of their data core, and made f-...er, other partners for the Chosen. I think it was part of this thing called the SCOPE virus...? Anyway...

The Chosen who have been here longer actually started with these SCOPE partners, and didn't get the originals until later.

Since Fluttershy has been here so long, she first got Choco [She gave the Lopmon a little nudge, and he rolled his eyes.] Before getting her original partner...me.

[video]

[onemorechapter]

Oh...

How.. how do you tell the difference?...

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Well there isn't actually any real way to tell the difference. Even though Choco was taken from a part of me, he's still pretty real.

But ever since the rest of us originals have been freed, all the Chosen have gotten their original partners. There's a SCOPE version of you out there somewhere, though, I'm sure.

[video]

[onemorechapter]

So I'm Blake's.. original partner. I- I thought so. I was just.. curious.

You really think there's a... SCOPE-me, though? [She almost shudders at the thought.]

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Most likely. Some of the Chosen who started with their original partners have gotten their SCOPE partners pretty recently.



More than likely, the Digimon that started all this had gotten all the Chosens' original partners and made SCOPE versions. But when the originals were released, they're the ones who find the Chosen first.

[video]

[onemorechapter]

That implies that our number was capped from the start, and rather than being chosen at random, we're simply brought in in waves.

[That's what it sounded like, at least. If someone had all the partners, then everyone here has had their names down the entire time.]

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Something like that, yeah.

[video]

[onemorechapter]

Interesting.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

There's a reason you're all called "Chosen" after all.

[video]

[onemorechapter]

That's right. Chosen to save the Digital World, even if.. it might be difficult.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Yeah, but no one has to do it alone. There's a lot of people to help!

[video]

[onemorechapter]

Just how many are there? This town isn't exactly indicative of that.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

There's actually a lotta people. We all used to live in this other place called Terminal Tokyo until just recently. But after it disappeared, we've had to travel to get to where you are now...

Some of us are still making our way over.

[video]

[onemorechapter]

Right. There had been an intro message that'd said something about that.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Yeah...it was pretty bad.

[video]

[onemorechapter]

I hope the city comes back soon...

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

I'm not sure it will...It was pretty...gone when we left. Not much to it now but a crater.

[video]

[onemorechapter]

[A little fidget on Gabumon's part.] But it just... vanished, right? Maybe it just.. went somewhere...

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Possibly. But with all the fighting those two big Digimon were doing...even if it comes back, there won't be a lot left of it.

[video]

[onemorechapter]

I... I guess so, yeah...

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

[Choco smiled a little, trying to cheer the Gabumon up.] It might not be so bad in this new city. We could probably make it just as nice as the other one.

[video]

[onemorechapter]

[She glanced up slightly, almost hopefully.]

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

[Choco grinned reassuringly.] Yeah, don't worry. Even in this new place, we'll all still help each other out. Everything'll be fine.

[video]

[onemorechapter]

[It's a little slow coming, but she smiles.]

Yeah. We're partners, that's what we do.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Yeah...! You've got your partner, and you'll get to make a lot of new friends. Everything'll turn out okay.
