[The video feed clicks on, showing a shaky view of Guilmon's face. Seems he's finally figured out how to work that bracelet communicator of his. It's just a wee bit more awkward than holding a terminal, so pardon any shaky cam.]

Um, is this working? Guilmon has never used one of these before...

[Well, hopefully it is because he's got lots of questions!]

If it is, then hi everybody! I'm Guilmon-- not the other Guilmon that's here but still Guilmon. Takato made me, but I don't think the other Guilmon came from a drawing. I wonder why...

[Hrmmm.]

But Guilmon was wondering if there are any other Digimon that came here from different Digital Worlds and don't have their Tamers with them. And has anyone seen Takato? He's got brown hair and goggles and he's good at drawing. And he's from Shinjuku! I know Culumon is here, but Guilmon hasn't seen anyone else from home yet.

[Oh, and there was one more thing, which he adds after a split second.]

Oh, and Guilmon isn't looking for a new partner, so please don't ask, okay? Takato is my only Tamer, but I'm sure you're all still nice!

But Guilmon is different! I already said that Takato made me up-- all the other Digimon had cards and toys but I didn't because nobody made a Guilmon before he did.

[He pouts. After all, it isn't a lie.]

[Cards and toys and... Lightning can't quite takes this conversation anymore, even if she is only half listening. There's a faint "I'm going out for a walk" from her before the sound of a door closing.

Lopmon looks kind of awkward being left behind, but she does kind of know that Light can handle herself. Hopefully.]

Awriiiight, maybe I should start simple. You're from here, right?

No. Guilmon already said that he wasn't! I'm from a different world...

[Hopefully that clears things up, 'cause he doesn't want to argue about this.]

But the only ones from different worlds are the humans and...

[GAAAAAAAASP because some idea just hit her and it's something big.]

Unless you're a human that turned into a Digimon when you got here?! That would be really kinda cool!

But some of the humans came with partners from a different digital world! Guilmon met one, and I'm pretty sure he's not from here.

[Gosh, Lopmon's idea just gets a confused stare outta Guilmon.]

And Guilmon was never a human! Guilmon already said he came from a drawing.

[She frowns, a little annoyed by this and perplexed by this. His story isn't making sense by her standards. She just sighs.]

Alright. Okay, I believe you. But it's still kinda weird!

[...]

Buuuuuuut kinda cool too! In it's own way.

[Well, at least she (probably) believes him now! With that outta the way, Guilmon lets out a little sigh, followed by a giggle. He can't really fault her enthusiasm, nope.]

Mm, Guilmon thinks it's cool, too! Takato is the best, and I don't know where I'd be without him. Thinking about that makes me feel kind of sad.

[Lopmon crosses her arms and smirks wickedly.] Well, maybe not the best. But I thiiiiink I get what you're saying. Lightning's pretty cool too. All the partners and humans here are!

...Kinda sounds like you really miss him though. This Takato kid.

Of course I miss him! Takato is Guilmon's best friend ever, and we already had to say goodbye before I came here. I didn't like that, but he said we'd get to play again, so I think he'll come here soon.

[Man, that sobers her up quickly.] ...Goodbye? Why would you have to say goodbye?

Because all the Digimon had to go back to the Digital World after we beat the D-Reaper. I think it was because of something Jian's dad put inside of Terriermon to make the D-Reaper really, really tiny like it used to be.

D-Reaper? Sounds like some funny glitchin' bug or something.

It was worse than a bug! It was this big, pink goo that deleted lots of Digimon and tried destroying the real world, too. And it kidnapped Juri and tried pretending to be her, and it had all these scary agents...

[Guilmon shudders.]

It was really, really bad.

[Giant threatening pink goo... Lightning can't help but raise an eyebrow in Lopmon's direction.]

It got so strong that it started attacking human worlds? That's seriously not good. [A beat.] You don't know if it's here or not, do you>

[Guilmon's eyes widen at the near thought, and he frantically shakes his head.]

It shouldn't be! Terriermon and Jian helped pull it back into the Digital World, and then it turned back to its original form. I don't think it could hurt anybody now.
