The BRONX - SOUNDVIEW PARK
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3rd - 7:30PM
THE CHOSEN


Reiko had been the first to arrive. She pulled her gray jacket tighter around her. The air was particularly cooler tonight. She glanced around, before leaning against a nearby tree. She glanced at her phone, seeing that it was just 7:30. Hopefully they would be here soon.

She was the one to suggest it--so she wondered if everyone would even show up. She knew that Mellie and Edwin would show--and hopefully Terrance and Raph... She wasn't sure that Laurel would though.

"Rei, you seem stressed out."

"I'm fine," she insisted, biting at her thumb nail slightly, before realizing what she was doing. "Rena, where have you been these past years?" Rei spoke after thinking for a moment. The fox appeared next to her, standing tall with her arms crossed.

"The Digital World had remained sealed," she explained. "There is much that has happened--but should we wait until the others get here to discuss it?" Rei nodded.

"I'm glad you guys came back when you did," she smiled, glancing over at the fox, who returned the smile.

Renamon's ear twitched, and she turned her gaze ahead. There seemed to be someone headed their way.

((OOC: Everyone can just show up. We'll spend some time interacting. This takes place about 2 days after our re-encounter with the digimon. Rei suggested we get together, after the initial battle, to talk about what happened and what is going to happen, and making a plan--all that fun stuff.))

"What a hassle. I've never been in a situation so... Dicey." Raphael remarked with a sigh, now wearing less fancy clothes in the form of loose-fitting jeans with a dress shirt left partly unbuttoned beneath a jacket. He thought back to his suit, knowing it was going to cost a bit to repair, so he wondered if it was better off replacing it. It was, after all, why he'd gotten a bunch of suits for different occasions. Behind him, the gearheaded Hagurumon followed behind him, letting out a soft mechanicle chuckle as he realized the pun his human made. He put a hand to his other shoulder, leaning his head in the opposite direction to stretch a bit, before he pressed on. "So what have you been up to, Akasha?"

"Oh, you know me. Chilling, killing... No, not really, but mostly chilling. Ever since you introduced me to your style, i've been trying to get other digimon to join in. It's worked surprisingly well... Maybe just a bit too well." Akasha responded, growing a bit more awkward as the sentence went on. "I've come to realize that humans have some of the most bizarre tastes ever." he added, causing Raphael to shake his head.

"Yeah, I think our... Creativeness doesn't really know any bounds. Sorry if they bother your-"

"Oh, they don't. Surprisingly they find it amusing they'e garnered so many fans just from pictures, some even do it just to drive them crazy... Neither one of our worlds are innocent, I guess, is the big takeaway from this. Did I tell you about our latest issue involving QueenChessmon- Akasha started to speak, before Raph raised his hand to silence the gear digimon.

"N-no thanks, that won't be necessary." he shuddered, moving beyond a tree and expecting to be the first person there. Much to his surprise, someone had yet again beaten him to being punctual... Reiko, and her partner Renamon. Coughing nervously and wondering how much of their conversation was heard, he waved and tried to come off normal. "I guess we weren't the first ones here after all. So..." he paused, trying to find a conversational topic, remembering how awkward it got earlier at the graves. "Neither of you are hurt, are you?"

Edwin was by now happily settled into life with his old partner. When he had first arrived here, Edwin had been worried. For Loki wouldn't even speak to him. But the reason for that was kind of typical for the dorky little Elecmon - he just didn't want to cry. But he had as the two embraced after so long apart.

For the next two days, Edwin and Loki were almost inseparable, the Elecmon remaining in his room as the two caught up with each other's lives. There was of course much petting involved, that was something that didn't change, Loki still loved it.

Edwin wouldn't risk showing him to the rest of his family however. Not even his brother Kieran knew that Loki was back. Mainly because he didn't want his parents to worry, as the last time Loki was around in their house was the time of Algomon's invasion. He'd wait a little while before he'd feel safe about revealing him.

"So, Loki" Edwin had said on the first night they were reunited, after it hurt to cuddle further. "What have you been up to in the digital world?"

"Eh, getting by, stuff like that" Loki said, dismissively. "But that's the past. I'm not leaving you again, buddy"

"Heh, alright" said Edwin. Loki paced around the room, fidgiting restlessly.

"I mean... think of the things we can do together" he said. "You're in college now, right? I think there's loads of stuff I can help out with. And then you'll graduate and we can work together. Heh, not much digimon around on Earth eh? And all the cuties will see our merchandise and be like "Now who's that handsome little red digimon? Wait... oh snap I called myself little again"

"Heh, settle down, Loki" Edwin said. Soon after, they drifted off to what was the best sleep Edwin had in years, arm around his partner.

The next day, they mostly spent catching up on a TV show that Loki had been watching when he was last on Earth, and demanded to see the ending of it. So they spent the day chilling in their room for the most part.

And the day after, in the evening, it seemed that Reiko had called another gathering. Loki was eager to go.

"Heh, I've probably smothered you enough, buddy, it'll be good to catch up with the rest of the gang" he said. "Hmm. I'd best go in disguise"

His "Disguise" consisted of a baseball cap to hide his ears, a hoodie to hide his torso and tail spikes, and... nothing else.

"Loki, sure you don't want to put some pants on?" Edwin asked, sweatdropping.

"No. The world needs to see these legs" Loki said firmly. Edwin snorted with mirth and supposed he'd just let him go how he liked. He looked enough like a kid so that hopefully someone wouldn't take a second look at him. Plus Loki could ride on his shoulders, just like old times.

And so they made their way to Soundview Park in the Bronx. There they saw some familiar faces. Edwin found that he felt more comfortable approaching them this time. With Loki around, it was like he felt complete again. That and probably Loki's warm fur kept his head warm.

"Hullo" he said, giving a wave to Raphael and Reiko. "What's up?"

"It's obvious, Ed, we're gonna have a big street party together like in old times" said Loki. "Digital world style!" Edwin laughed. "No? Aw. Well I'm sure once everyone else comes around we'll come up with something". He nodded at Renamon and Akasha. "Heya, how's life with the humans?" he asked them, making friendly conversation.

Reiko was nervous to see Raph and his partner as the first to arrive. She kept her cool, attempting to look unbothered by it. She knew he was the type to bite his lip, and work together, but she still was sure that maybe he had some hard feelings towards her. He was close friends with Kale, after all. And like Laurel, she had known Raph for many years. The trio grew up together. It seemed they were most afflicted by her betrayal. Probably out of that breach of trust.

>>"Neither of you are hurt, are you?"

Reese was surprised, though the question came off a little uncomfortably for the both of them. "I, uh, We're fine," she nodded. "The battle from the other day was scary, but Rena and the others showed up on time. The battle had gone efficiently after that."

"Akasha, Raphael," the fox spoke calmly, arms crossed. She seemed cool and collected. Reiko admired her ability to be calm under pressure. It seemed like nothing could affect the fox.

Reiko pulled away from the tree, glancing ahead. There was chatter in the distance, and it seemed as though a couple more of their allies were coming. She was relieved to see it was the easy-going Edwin, and his ever-chatty partner, Loki.

>>"Heya, how's life with the humans?"

"Oh Loki, you know I've already done more than enough people watching since we've been back," the digimon smirked. "Humans are so curious--just the other day, I saw a bigger human yell at a smaller human in blue, because they put a piece of paper on their car. I was sure the big human would unleash their ultimate attack on the little one--but the smaller one pulled out some powerful tool that shocked the other one to the ground. It was impressive work."

Reiko stared at Rena in surprise. That sounded like a frightening scene, but Rena admired it. "Rena, I told you to be careful where you go," Reiko reminded. "I think Digimon have been popping up more regularly--Edwin, you said it before, and I think you were right."

"Yes," Rena nodded, folding her arms again. "There have been more digimon entering the human world. We are not sure the exact cause--but the barrier is weakened even further. We were summoned to Monochrome City about a week ago, before were were finally able to journey here to meet with you all again. But Digimon have been coming here for months."

Reiko had heard about the attacks, and the thought had crossed her mind that they may be connected with Digimon, but to actually hear it... "So we've got another job to do, huh?" Reiko asked, not entirely sure how she felt.

((OOC: We can chatter - we'll wait until more pop up to talk more about it... Anyway, we were summoned to Monochrome City - it's a big city in the DW, like one of the biggest. The mons may or may not have been together, that's up to you all. Rena would have spent most of her time away. ))

"Ah is that right?" Loki asked Renamon, jumping off Edwin's shoulders. The Elecmon stood at his side, keeping his paws warm in his hoodie pockets. "Heh, that sounds impressive, humans finally figuring out how to use electric attacks. I've just been watching a show about a bunch of humans with swords and dragons running around the world trying to kill everyone else for silly reasons"

"Well, you asked to watch it Loki" Edwin pointed out.

"Yeah yeah. Shame it went downhill after the first few series" Loki sighed. He adjusted his baseball cap, his ears were quite hot under it. "Anyways, I'm done with that for now, so I'll probably be doing more proper work from here on"

"Alright" Edwin said. He listened to Reiko and nodded. "I see. If that's right and digimon have been showing up more regularly, then we should probably figure out why that is, and hopefully put a stop to it"

"Except for us obviously" said Loki, still stubbornly refusing to acknowledge the possibility of leaving Edwin again.

"Yeah, hopefully" Edwin said, sincerely hoping that that was the case. Renamon said that they were then summoned to Monochrome City. Edwin remembered that place vaguely.

"Ah, that we were" Loki said, nodding. "I was mostly hanging around there myself so I wasn't far away. I was living with a few other digimon in our gang, seeing as, well, we've been a team together for so long. I'd check up on the scientists fairly often, but they eventually kept fobbing me off when I asked them about progress on getting us here to Earth"

Edwin suspected that Loki wasn't telling the full story here. The Elecmon had cried so hard and was so full of joy to be reunited with him that he suspected Loki may have been getting impatient with the digimon in charge of whatever program was in place in Monochrome City.

"So if we do find a wild digimon..." Edwin said, hesitantly. "We simply send them back to the digital world, right?"

Mellie was ecstatic to receive Rei's text inviting her to a get together along with the others. As though the amazing fortune of being reunited with their partners wasn't enough on its own, the opportunity it gave her best friend to integrate with their group was like all of her dreams coming true. For her, it seemed like the years of persevering optimism had finally paid off - not that they were out of the woods yet. No, not by a long shot, if the sudden attack from those other Digimon was any evidence. But at least whatever happened, they could face it together - and that was good enough for her.

And so it was with a joyful mood that she convened with the others at Soundview Park, unable to keep the wide smile off her face at the sight of her friends engaged in relaxed conversation, even when the somewhat troubling topic of the increasing population of Digimon visitors was mentioned.

"Does anyone know why it is that they keep coming? Or know anyone who might know? They couldn't all be like that Musyamon guy, would they...?" Her smile faded a bit at the memory; naturally it was unpleasant to consider that the efforts they'd made in good faith for the Digital World could have such negative repercussions. But surely they wouldn't be so irrational as to be so single-mindedly focused upon fighting as their samurai adversary had been.

"Yes, I suppose we must," Beatrice nodded in agreement with Loki. "It would hardly do to have so many Digimon running about this world. I don't believe the humans would cope very well with it... although I do hope that 'sending them back' will not entail having to fight them all." The Tailmon yawned, stretching out in the cool evening air, laying back on the grass casually. "I for one would appreciate having the time to actually enjoy being in this world this time around."

Reiko smiled to her friend as Mellie came in. She listened to the chatter between the group for now, before she found herself a comfortable box to sit upon while she observed them. Reiko didn't always directly interject, and did most of her thought process in silence.

Reiko suppressed commenting on the naivety of Edwin and Bea. "I'm not sure it will be that simple," Reiko replied. She was a bit of a pessimist unfortunately, but her pessimism was also an asset. "Sending them back is not simple--we are not even sure how they are getting here in the first place."

"Portals," Renamon spoke simply. "But tracking them is another story. Perhaps the digivices can aid us in that?" the digimon suggested.

"Do you think we can contact Wizarmon?" Reiko asked. She remembered Wizarmon from before--he was their point of contact to the leaders of the digital world. He was very knowledgeable, and had always directed them to their next goal. She hadn't really gotten to know him in the past, but from what she did know, he was very helpful.

"Yes, some point of contact would be helpful."

A sudden beeping resounded in the room. Rei grabbed her digivice from her pocket. She could see a message that had popped up. Back when they first received the devices, they were state of the art... now they left a bit to be desired. They were bulky, and looked more similar to one of those slider phones from the mid 2000s, rather than the sleek, modern smartphones of today.

However, there was a clear message that had popped up. "A new version of the D-Link is available... would you like to download?" Rei read the message aloud. "Did you all get this?"

She decided to download it--the digivice immediate turned off. "Wha?" the girl tried pushing the buttons, but got no response. After a few moments, the phone booted back up, but burst into a soft glow. Rei could feel it change in her hand, and soon, that glow faded. Rei gave a small gasp of surprise. The phone was now much lighter, and slimmer--like a modern smart phone. The screen was clean and sleek--it looked brand new. The casing was purple, and it was lined with navy blue on the front.

She clicked the single button in the center, and the screen awoke. It was a very simple but clean screen. Rei could swipe through the various screens, and each screen held an 'app' on it. It was highly intuitive and very different from before. "This is great!" Rei spoke, glancing up at the others. Theirs too had changed.

A message popped up on their screens, different from before. Rei opened it--it acted much like a text message.

Dear Chosen - I am in need of your assistance. Please meet me immediately.

-A friend


"That sounds entirely trustworthy," Renamon said, looking at their modest group. "The rest of us aren't here yet..."

"And they're nearly 45 minutes late... I think we should check it out." Rei looked to the others to get their thoughts.

((OOC: Have a similar thing happen to your digivice - this will have happened to all of us. It will be the D-Link talked about in the sign up. Everyone will get the same message. If you want to go along, that's great. I will assume if you don't post within the week, that you would rather stay behind, and we'll move on with who we have with us. If you haven't arrived, you still can now.))

Loki nodded in agreement with Beatrice. "Yeah, would be good to get 'em outta here without having to resort to the thunderbolts and lightning show" he said. And also because fighting usually involved getting attacked back, something he didn't really enjoy.

Renamon then raised the possibility they could use their digivices for the purpose of their task. "Oh yeah, good point" Edwin said, taking out his own. It always felt a bit nostalgic, holding it like this. And kind of good too, with his partner there as well. Edwin wondered if he'd still be able to digivolve him like old times. "Also yeah... Wizarmon. Have you seen him in the digital world, Loki? How's he going?"

"Eh, going okay, although I haven't seen him in a while" the Elecmon said, shrugging. Edwin was then greeted with the message that a new version of the digivice was available to download. He automatically confirmed it, since he always updated his software. Then the digivice changed before his very eyes.

"Whoa!"
Edwin gasped. Loki looked up with curiosity, then shrugged.

"Eh, what's the big deal? I bet you humans can do that with your apple phones or whatever it is you have now" he said. "What's the latest model? The iWank 5?"

"Er, no, Loki, not even Apple phones physically transform like that" Edwin said. Like Rei, he explored the new functions of it, and was quite impressed. Hopefully all these apps could help them out in their new purpose. Then he received the same message as Rei did. He read it out loud for the benefit of Loki.

"Okay then"
said Loki, blinking. "Where do we meet them?"

"I... don't know" said Edwin, slowly. Loki suddenly jumped up onto his shoulders again so that he could look at the D-Link over Edwin's shoulder.

"Surely there's some sort of magic app that shows us the way to go isn't there?"
he asked. "I mean, you guys have apps that show you where the nearest nightclubs are and how long they're open until, surely there's one that can show us where to go?"

"Well, maybe..." Edwin said, swiping through the apps. He paused then looked at his partner. "...wait, Loki, how do you know that?"

"Eh, what can I say? I'm a 'mon of the town, I enjoy me some fraternization, especially in the early hours when I kind of need a pick-me-up after remembering our adventures together so I just wanted to see what's going on" Loki said, nonchalantly.

"But my phone is password protected, how did you end up using it while I was sleeping?"
Edwin asked.

"Oh yeah, about that, I found out within 1 minute that your password was "loki2003" so I changed it to something better..." he whispered the new password into Edwin's ear. Edwin would have probably been more angry about that, but, he was in somewhat of a good mood at the prospect of solving a problem with his digimon best friend for the first time in three years.

He and Loki turned to Renamon and Rei, who were saying the others were 45 minutes late.

"Yeah I think we should go, we've given them enough time" said Edwin. "But do you think we might be able to leave them a message first? Just in case they do end up coming along"

"And also do you know where we're going to meet this... 'friend'?" Loki added. "And also if we know this guy's trustworthy?"

"Well, we don't"
Edwin said, simply. "But we can't just ignore a message like this, right?"

"Thunderbolt and lightning show? You mean the one from your butt?" Beatrice replied sardonically, idly straightening the fur on one arm with a claw. Melody coughed to avoid chuckling.

"Ahem - someone might need our help. Of course we have to check it out!" Melody nodded emphatically in agreement with Reiko. "I'm with Edwin! Even if there's a chance that whoever sent this message is, you know, just leading us into one big fat trap like all those other times we naively walked right into traps and nearly died, there's a chance someone could be in danger and really needing our help! It could be Wizarmon in trouble! Or any one of the friends we made in the Digital World! We have to help!"

"Kitten... surely any one of them would have the courtesy to at least sign their name on the message." Beatrice looked up from inspecting her claws.

"Well, maybe they didn't have time... and they have a really long name! Like Supercalifragilisticexpialidociousmon or something - anyway, I'm going, like it or not. I won't stand by while someone I know could be in danger."

"Guess that leave me no choice then," Beatrice conceded with a sigh. "We've been too long apart; I don't fancy letting you out of my sight any time soon."

This was the second most recent get-together he had with the others, and after the first, he started to remember why he used to enjoy these so much. Before everything went to hell for them, he genuinely had fun and enjoyed the company of the others. A loss of life was quick to change all of that, but when they weren't in any mortal danger at the moment... Times like these didn't seem all that bad to Raphael. Plus they weren't going through any awkward moments like the other day... He looked down at his D-Link and Akasha, feeling like he didn't want to let the mon out of his sight again, especially not after what had been apparently happening over time. "Someone needs to make sure you guys stay out of trouble... Or are nearby when we run into it, at least." Raphael sighed, realizing that his earlier challenge to Musyamon nearly ended both his and Edwin's lives prematurely. At least with Akasha around, that probably wouldn't happen aga-

"Hm? An update?" he mused, looking down at his device as it showed an update was available. Of them, Reiko was the first to accept, and seeing what occured to her D-Link, Edwin had followed. All it seemed to do was transform their devices, which seemed harmless enough... Throwing caution to the wind, Raphael accepted the download to watch as his own D-Link changed to adopt a similar new design. No longer needing to look at the others, he checked out the myriad of new apps on his device, as Akasha floated upward to look at it.

"Wish it was that that easy for me to upgrade..." Akasha frowned. He wished he could go into his later forms without requiring Raphael's input, but maybe he lacked the energy on his lonesome to do it... Or maybe there was just something about Raphael that allowed him to achieve evolution in the first place. While he lamented his lack of understanding for his own situation, Raphael and the others were now plagued with the choice of accepting the request of help from someone none of them even knew, or ignoring it in favor of doing their own things. Without any real sense of direction in the current state of things, what other choice did they have?

"If they're not here, then maybe it's better if they stay behind for now. It'll be less dangerous for them in the long run, even if it puts us at a bit of a disadvantage." Raphael spoke up, pocketing one hand. Laurel had suffered enough as it was, and bringing her along would only invite more awkward situations to their group while Reiko was there. However, without Terrence around, he felt things wouldn't have been as lively or as fun without him to get into 'Pose-Offs' with. Still, if he stayed behind too, it meant he'd be alright and well in the world without putting himself in danger. "So if we're all in agreement, then i'll throw my lot in too and say it's worth checking out who sent this message. Maybe if we travel to the other side, those that don't like us much will stay out of this side... Maybe." he sighed, rubbing the back of his head with his free hand. He cast a glance to Reiko, smiling awkwardly. "Hope it won't be a problem having me around."

"Hooboy, the sexual tension is strong in the air now." Akasha shrugged with disinterest, before raising a mechanical brow. "Wait, no, that's just tension. Don't mind me, trying to use your weird fleshbag lingo to fit in better." he added, smiling unevenly. This only made Raphael a bit more nervous.
