“…If I can’t get through to him then I’ll do what I have to do.” Haru’s hands curled into fists, trembling at his sides. He didn’t want to think about what he would have to do if he couldn’t save Yuujin, that was something he’d only planned on worrying about if it actually happened.

“I’m a Protagonist, and a Chosen Child. I’ll do whatever I have to in order to protect everyone…but I’m not giving up on my friend until it’s really over. I promised him I wouldn’t.”

“And? You’re also nuts for not having a plan, if you ask me...But, then again, I know someone that’d probably be all gung-ho for doing this, so I guess I can help out...If only to make sure you and your friends don’t do something stupid. I’d rather not be held responsible for letting it happen in the first place, either...So, if this Leviathan’s controlling him, have you figured out any ways of possibly creating a situation where he has to release his control? I assume killing him is the least desirable outcome in this, so...”

“I see you there, sweetie. You’re not hiding very well. It’s been a week, and you’re still following me around? You must reeeeeaaaally want that kiss~”

“T-Tch!” Maybe Arata should have really considered ducking out of sight, instead of simply trailing behind her and attempting to use anyone else as a poor fascimile of cover...Well, whatever. “It’s not like I want the kiss, dammit! I-I just happened to be going the same way!”

“No way am I watching scary movies. I’ve dealt with enough frightening things in reality as it is.”

“What about ‘getting in the spirit’, or whatever? Are you just going to pretend Halloween doesn’t exist?”

“No, I guess not, but…we don’t have time to come up with a plan. Leviathan’s plan is already starting, we need to fight back even if we’re not sure it’ll work. And Yuujin…I don’t know what I’m going to do, but I do know he’s still good inside and all of the memories we have together are just as important to him as they are to me! As long as I know that I’m sure I can get through to him…”

“Don’t you think that’s reckless!? What happens if appealing to his memories fails!? Do you think you’d be able to go through with whatever comes next!?” There’s a pause, before Arata eventually sighs, relenting his point...For now. “...Ugh, I can’t believe this...Whatever this Leviathan is, it’s bad news, right? If you’re this convinced your friend can be saved, then fine. I guess I’m interested in seeing how things work out...Though, I can’t say I have much faith it’ll work, if any.”

“Do you just go and assume like 300 blocks ahead or something. I figured since we have a mutual helping thing that its best we stick together. So I was being nice an offering you a place at my home while we did so.”

“Well give me some time. Maybe I can figure something out. I am a damn good shitty hacker. But to work a miracle well give me a bit and I am sure I can find out something. “

…Oh. So it wasn’t because he didn’t have any money on him, but because she figured sticking together would be more beneficial to them both? That made sense, Arata figured…Still, he wished he’d thought to bring a bit more in the way of spending money, just in case. You never knew when you’d need to buy something, after all…Right?

Though, after a bit, he did start laughing when he heard the other call herself, and he’d quote, a ‘damn good shitty hacker’. That didn’t even make sense…And, for some reason, it was hilarious. Maybe the absurdity of everything about that just magnified the hilarity? He had no idea, and he didn’t really care right now.

“Pfft…Hahahaha! How in the hell can you be a good hacker if you’re supposedly bad at it? Try calling yourself something that makes sense, next time!“ He hadn’t had a laugh like that in a while…To his knowledge, anyway. Not since before this happened, anyway. Even with the gravity of the situation at hand, he couldn’t help but laugh at that kind of paradoxical description, it felt like.

“Honestly? I don’t know yet, but I’m sure I’ll figure something out when the time comes. Yuujin called out to me, so I know he’s in there. Maybe if I keep talking to him I’ll get through to him, or…if I stop the A.I. controlling him he might go back to normal. I just have to have faith it’ll work out in the end!”

“...So...You’re telling me that you don’t have a clue on how you’re going to get your best friend to stop killing you? Don’t you think there’s a problem there? I mean, I really doubt blind optimism’s going to save anybody. You need a plan, something that’s concrete, with evidence that shows it has a snowball’s chance in Hell of working.”

“Yeah, it’s fine, because I know it’s not really him! Yuujin’s my best friend in the whole world, he’d never hurt me on purpose. I just need to find a way to bring the old Yuujin back, that’s all!” Easier said than done.

“And how do you plan to ‘bring’ the old Yuujin back? Appeal to his sense of humanity? Or, maybe you’re going to bake him a cake that says ‘Please Stop Trying To Kill Me’ on it? That’s kind of unrealistic, isn’t it...? Now, if there was a way to separate the controlling entity from him, it could be done, but...That’s a whole ‘nother server, so to speak.”

blueboxarata replied to your post: “I’m glad I don’t have to worry about who I can…

“Isn’t that typically seen as a bad thing?”

“It’s fine!” No it’s not. He’s dead inside.

“...Are you sure about that, kid? Seriously, if I had a friend that wanted to kill me, I’d be pretty paranoid.” Arata doesn’t buy it...Though, that’s primarily because of his own biases.

“Alright, let’s see...I’ve got enough snacks to last me for a long time, and I dropped by Akihabara for a while earlier...Hmm...”

“Nokia Shiramine…” She paused and blinked, and then a shrug followed. “Meh. Hyperactive or not, s’not like it’s gonna bother me. I’m from Ireland of all places, and my entire family has tempers as hot as Shoutmon’s here… then again, they do drink and believe in fairies too…” She glanced at Lopmon and rolled her shoulders. “Ah… anyway, let’s go.”

Upon reaching the Comimani Forum, Aislyn set the two digimon down and pulled out a blanket from her bag, placing it over them. Lightly petting their heads, she then set up Shoutmon’s mic up nearby.

Turning to Arata, she had a slight frown on her face. “I’m just surprised to find that there are other kinds of digivices. So… if you happen to find my body or anyone with a digivice that looked like mine, let me know, eh? Lopmon wanted to find more out about his origins. He doesn’t even remember coming from the Digital World. All he remembers is running from some wild cats in the forest around my parent’s home and then me.”

She seemed genuinely worried, but realizing she was babbling, she gave a wave of her hand. “Nevermind. Sorry. You’ll probably need to be on your way. We’ll be waiting.” And with that, she goes to sit down beside her partners, watching over them with a concerned expression.

@blueboxarata​

It was a blessing in disguise, Arata mused as they arrived in the Comic Mania forum, that the open area had been empty. Even the Admin had gotten off, which was uncharacteristic of the old man. Still, he’d take what he could get, and watched as Aislyn pulled a blanket out and got ready to camp in the forum for the night.

Still, he had to admit...He never expected all of this, though he knew he’d probably said it aloud (or in his head) a thousand times by now. It was all really curious...But, at least they were good people, or so he was assuming. At the least, they didn’t hold any malice, and they knew the Eaters were not friendly, if the scene he interrupted was any indication.

...Speaking of, he had to admit, he looked kind of cool there. But, he pushed that thought aside when Aislyn addressed him. He could stroke his own ego later.

“You aren’t the only one that’s surprised. I didn’t even consider the possibility of a Digivice existing that wasn’t made by Kamishiro Enterprises...But, yeah. I’ll send a message on your Digivice via DigiLine. You might want to look into installing that before you sleep, by the way. It’s useful for sending short messages. And, as far as I know, it’s free to download...

Now, like you said, I need to get going. I’ll see you guys tomorrow, after I investigate Odaiba. I’d ask if you guys want something from Starbucks, but it’d be a moot point considering this isn’t the real world. Until tomorrow, though, guess I’ll say good night.”

And at that point, Arata backed off, stepping onto the pad and flying away to get off of EDEN for the night. He hoped they’d be alright, for a second, but soon decided they’d probably be fine. He didn’t have time to waste worrying about things right now.

[blueboxarata-blog]

Continued from here.

...Was this kid serious? There was an exasperated sigh from Arata as he watched this kid flounder about, trying to figure out what he meant. While it might’ve been amusing to watch someone flounder about in confusion, He had the feeling that if he didn’t elaborate soon, this boy might not figure it out for a while...Though, that was his opinion of it, anyway.

“...A hacker. I’m a hacker. My possession of the Digimon Capture program should make that obvious, you know, even if I haven’t really shown you the program yet...That aside, I just wanted to quote Midna there. Seemed appropriate, and all that jazz. You know?”

“Alright…?” She had no idea what he was getting at but she did as asked, readjusting the digimon a bit. “And i’m willing to learn to use the panels. I just need to be shown how. Can digimon use panels too?” That was a curious question indeed, but one that would probably go unanswered for the time being as Shoutmon began lightly snoring and Lopmon had a nose bubble coming from him as well.

“These two are going to be a handful…” Lightly smiling, she honestly wouldn’t have it any other way.

@blueboxarata​

Hm...Arata hadn’t considered the possibility of Digimon Programs using the panels. But, maybe they could use them? They were programs, after all...But, would they really have any reason to? After all, nobody had heard of it happening before now, to his knowledge...

Still, Arata had a feeling this might not be all bad. After ll, Aislyn seemed nice enough, and he doubted she’d ever do any digging on the Judes. After all, they were old news as is. The less people knew of his role among that old team, the better.

“I’d have to think on that...I mean, I guess they could, but it looks like your Digimon are already taking the initiative. We’d better get going, if that’s the case. So, come onto the panel. After I’m done searching tomorrow, I’ll tell you more on using the panels yourself...”

Though, now that Arata thought about it...Maybe he should warn her about that irritating girl? If she was going to frequent EDEN, she may end up running into her, after all.

“Oh, before I forget. If you run into a girl named Nokia Shiramine around EDEN or Kowloon, you might get along with her. She also thinks Digimon are living things, but...Just as a warning, be careful she doesn’t get on your nerves as well. She’s extremely hyperactive, and irritates the fire out of me by simply existing. But, we have a mutual friend, so I tolerate her when I’m around her. Incidentally, that’s also why I said you might get along with her, because of her hyperactivity...But, we’ve spent enough time chatting, I’d say. Come on, let’s head to the Comimani Forum.”

Ferma rolled her eyes. Why is that everyone demands kindness? She wasn’t much a nice person to begin with, but then again it could just be her bitterness towards her past job. A sigh. She needed to calm down otherwise she wasn’t going to get anywhere.

“Alright, I’m Ferma. I’m making a delivery to someplace called Pokemon Center. I thought it was an actual ‘Pokemon Center’, mostly because of where I’m from. Here’s the address.”

The Ambipom on her back handed the boy the piece of paper with the address with one of its long tail. It was trying to be a backpack out in this world since, it seemed like Pokemon don’t exists here.

...Wait. She was trying to deliver something to the Pokemon Center? As in, she was trying to go to the retail store? Well, this certainly wasn’t strange, Arata mused to himself. But, the fact her ‘backpack’ handed him the address was strange...Still, he had nothing better to do, he supposed.

...Alright. Arata figured that using an internet connection to cross-reference the address would be a good idea, since he knew there were a few of these throughout Japan, to his knowledge. So, with that in mind, he stood up and walked towards the EDEN access point, opening a few screens to begin his cross-referencing.

“...Alright. I cross-referenced the address you gave me as being the Mega Tokyo store located in Ikekuburo’s Sunshine City, but just to be sure, there’s also a Pokemon Center in Tokyo’s Character Street, underneath Tokyo Station. And, while the last one is technically in Chiba prefecture, it’s located about forty minutes away from Tokyo Station, in Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport TOKYO-BAY.

I normally don’t go to any of these often, unless a friend tells me that a new issue of Pokemon Special’s come out...To clarify, I’m a fan of comics and manga, so I enjoy reading when I’m not on EDEN, though I make use of the internet to read some things...”

Oh, wait. He’d forgotten to introduce himself, hadn’t he? Well, that wasn’t real important. He’d just go ahead and do that right now. After all, this woman seemed like she was in a hurry. She might forget who he is soon enough, and whatnot.

“Oh, by the way. Before I forget...The name’s Arata. Arata Sanada. Nice to meet you, and all that, I suppose.”

“Um… you’re the one that can fly around here right? I got both these guys in my arms. My hands are occupied. How the heck am I supposed to get to this forum?” Forums were only on regular computers – but being she was walking in digital space… could she really say anything?

“I really don’t want to put these guys in stasis. I’ve said my reasons why already, so i’ll spare you the banter.” Last thing she wanted was him annoyed with her.

“Any ideas?”

@blueboxarata​

...Right, he’d forgotten that she was actually carrying them for a second. He personally didn’t feel like arguing that they were just programs again, so he crossed his arms in thought instead. Did he have any ideas for this...? It’d be easier if she did store them in the Digivice, but she wasn’t about to do that, as she’d already said...

Then he’d just have to do something unorthodox. He just wondered how she’d react to him holding onto her while they went to the forum. It wasn’t exactly the most convenient method, but it’d have to do, hopefully.

“Yeah, actually. I do have one idea...But, in order for it to work, I need you to stand on this panel with me. Then, just leave the rest to me. If I’m right, we should get it to work without you having to compromise your ideals by storing those two in the Digivice by way of you allowing me to hold on to you while we’re in transit.

Just don’t expect me to do this every time you want to go somewhere else in EDEN. You’ll have to learn to use these panels yourself one day, you know. So, is that going to be alright with you?”

“It doesn’t, I guess, but… You still ought to be home, with as late as it is.”

“And? You act like this is unusually late. I’ve been up a lot longer than this before, you know.” He’d just leave it at that. It wasn’t her business to know more, after all. Besides, he hadn’t really told anyone, yet.

Hiyori was walking downtown as her digimon partner tanemon was on her bag relaxing as she was checking the new fashion’s . 

the young blonde faced dropped seeing them but fault like someone was looking at her , the blonde female turned to see a male with black male . Tanemon looked at her best friend/partner “ everything ok Hiyori “ she asked as hiyori looked down at the in-training digimon “ that boy he just stareing at me which it kind of creeping me out Tanemon “ the blonde said taking tanemon holding the plant digimon in her arms .

...Arata was sure he wasn’t seeing things. That stuffed animal looked suspiciously like one of the Digimon programs that roamed Kowloon...And, he knew for a fact that Digimon couldn’t enter the real world thanks to the different laws that governed them.

“.........” Still, maybe it wouldn’t hurt to follow them...? After all, if that was just a lifelike plush, he could always apologize for his curiosity. Right? If the girl wasn’t satisfied with that, he could figure something out...Assuming the police weren’t called. The last thing he needed was to be investigated for his hacking activities.
