Tentomon, could you move that a little?

[The feed turns onto darkness and the sound of frantic typing. There's a sound of movement as an insect Digimon moves a way a box. The room it shows seems to only contain a thirteen-year-old boy and said Digimon, if you don't count several computers and heaps of water bottles.]

Thanks. [Koushirou only briefly glanced up at his partner before turning his attention to the computer and finishing up a piece of information.]

[With a sigh he turns his attention to the D-Terminal.]

Hello there. I know I've introduced myself before, but now that we're doing it somewhat in person-- my name's Koushirou Izumi. This is my partner Tentomon.

I know many of you have questions, so I'm going to answer them the best that I can. It's taken a while with how things are going and I haven't been able to reach Gennai-san until recently, but what we have should help.

Six months ago an abnormality appeared across the Digital Plane. We're still working out what it is, but the outcome was the merger of worlds. Whatever it is has managed to reach the connection to all the worlds. Since then the worlds have lost their balance. Earthquakes happen frequently as the worlds shift on top of each other. All of you appeared after the last one, which we feared was going to happen.

The Digital World uses us as a sort of defensive mechanism, this is because the bond between Digimon and Human is great. Normally, the Digital World doesn't call so many of us at one. I believe that just shows how dire our situation is. Every Chosen Child that has ever been born is being called to this one point in time.

Unfortunately, the only way to end things and go home quicker is to fight. We have some leads right now that a few of my friends are out checking on. Gennai-san has also started traveling between the rest of the Digital Worlds to see if there's any information he can gather. We've gotten closer to some answers recently, but I'm afraid we still don't have nearly enough...

[He glances at the computer screen.]

Right now everything is kind of hectic. We're torn between finding the answers and keeping the worlds from totally collapsing. I'm not sure how well it's going to end...

Anyway, please, i you have any questions, feel free to ask them. I'll answer to the best of my ability, but try to remember that we don't know all the details to the situation right now.

Alright, now who here is totally excited to meet their new Digimon partners?! [Yeah, she's pretty sure some of you out there aren't the exact definition of elated with who you're paired up with...but don't you worry, that's completely normal. Just give it time...]

I know it's a lot to take in, and pretty unexpected, but believe me when I tell you that life for you is never going to be the same, and it's definitely a good thing! ♥ I don't know how I could've gotten to where I am nowadays without Palmon...

[She seems to be digressing. Has she forgotten that she's addressing a load of new, confused, and potentially scared people?]

Oh! I should probably introduce myself, huh? [She's still all smiles regardless, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of that changing...yet.] I'm Mimi Tachikawa, one of the original Chosen Children, right there with Taichi-san, Hikari-chan, Koushirou-kun, Yamato-san, Sora-san, Jou-senpai, and Takeru-kun!

Don't worry, you'll have time to remember our names later. For now, I recommend you really get to know your new Digimon partner! It'll come in real handy later when it's time for them to evolve...and the stronger your bond becomes, the better, I always say!

...why, you wonder? Well...eheh...you'll see. [Impish grin.]

But! I guess all that's left now is for Koushirou-kun to explain the nitty-gritty, huh? Don't worry, it might sound complicated, but if someone like me can get the hang of it, anyone can!

N-not that I'm dumb or anything! But it was a lot to figure out, at first! But we've blazed the trail for others to follow, and we're here to help you every step of the way!

[She leans in and cups a hand beside her mouth to whisper dryly.] Especially with translating what Koushirou-kun tells you. It's taken me years to figure it out, but I'm the expert, now! Come to me if you don't get it.

[Back to normal volume! Which is pretty up there.] Hope to see you in the Digital World sometime soon, lovelies! Ciao! ♥

[BlackWargreymon takes a moment to compose himself as he turns on the communicator. Attached to his wrist, it shows him from a low angle, his horns jutting out of the frame while the sun light glints off his helm.]

I...would like to ask for advice.

[He pauses, as once again he tries to collect his thoughts.]

My presence here...confuses me. My life ended due to a grievous wound, yet here I stand, whole and unharmed. I believe I was brought here in order to aid the efforts to return the Real World and the Digital World to normal, but I do not understand how my data could be replicated so well. I have not tested this body to its limits, but I will not do so until I have found a space where such destruction as I was capable of will not have ill effects.

Does...any of you have some theory, for what may have allowed me to be revived this way?

[The video comes to life suddenly, shaking a little as the device is inspected by the young woman. It's pointed off to the side, then up, then down at the ground, before being righted.

When she finally notices it, she blinks curiously.]

Oh, Lopmon...what does that mean?

[The video moves a little, and the rabbit-like Digimon's face appears right under hers. He looks into the screen thoughtfully, then looks up at her.]

You've activated the video feed.

The...video feed...?

Yeah. Right now it's transmitting a video to everyone's D-Terminals.

[Even though the video isn't directly focused on her, anyone who's paying attention will notice her eyes widening.] E...e-everyone's...?

Anyone who's got one.

[The young woman gives a small squeak, and suddenly the video is shaking once again. Blurred images of the ground, the sky, any nearby scenery flash by in rapid succession as though the camera was spinning.

There's a brief flash of Lopmon approaching before the camera is once again steadied, focused on the ground as his feet touch down. The video shakes a little more as the device is turned over, and there's a sheepish smile on Lopmon's face when it comes back into view.]

S-sorry about that everyone. Fluttershy is a bit...well, shy.

[He glances back towards his partner; though his head takes up most of the screen, a little farther back are a pair of eyes staring back at him, peaking over a curtain of light-yellow feathers.

Lopmon sighs.]

[There is a bit of static before a video flickers into life, and the first thing anyone watching is going going to see will be a large green eye staring right into the screen. It blinks a few times before the video is turned on its side and a loud voice can be heard, slightly muffled and stat-icy since it's so close to the microphone.]

Alright Hic, you're the one who's savvy with the techo-gizmos and what not. Is this thing on?

[There's a pause and a little shaking as the D-Terminal swaps hands- rather, Hiccup has to practically yank it out of Gomamon's claws.]

It looks like it's on. And I told you, I....I've never seen anything like this before. Not on Berk at least..

[He holds the little device gingerly and at a distance so he and Gomamon can actually be visible. Gomamon is sitting on Hiccup's head pretty much, with his flippers almost flopped over into his face.]

Great! Now can I hold it, pleease? Nobody can see me from way up here!

Hold on a sec Gomamon. I wanted to- hey! No, wait--!!

[Suddenly there's a rush of colors and then a burst of static and a loud rattling noise as the D-Terminal collides with the ground. Faint bickering can be heard, and if anyone is still paying attention they might catch a glimpse of Hiccup's feet- er, foot- before he has a chance to pick the device back up, quickly looking it over for damage.]

Aaaugh, at this rate I'm going to be the only one with half working devices..

Hmph. Not my fault you're clumsy.

[Hiccup sighs heavily and looks back at the screen, trying to ignore Gomamon.]

Look, does anyone know what we're exactly supposed to...do next? Because I'm obviously not getting much help here.

Hey! You watch your mouth kid, or I'll give ya somethin' to complain about!!

[ A video feed clicks on to show a very angry girl. Despite being fairly young and holding a stuffed animal of all things, she looks incredibly frustrated. ]

L-Look here, whovever's listening! You can't just throw me in some kind of weird world and expect me to participate! You'll all pay! I'll call the police, they won't stand for this! Kidnapping an idol is way worse than just kidnapping some ordinary girl! I'm sure of that!

[ Her gaze shifts downwards for a minute or so, and another voice can be heard, though it's face cannot. ]

My Lady, please calm down. You aren't in any danger and you haven't been kidnapped by a person...

[ She scoffs at it, and turns back to the feed, refusing to respond. ]

While I'm at it, why won't this thing stop following me? It's not cute at all! It'll ruin my image! Is it supposed to be some kind of weird pet or something? It keeps on telling me that I have to stay here to save something, but I'm not a hero! I just want to go home... Ryuugu Komachi needs me.
