Kiro tilted his head to see an Ogremon was charging is direction. He was about to react to the situation, but he got pulled away by a random women. Because of these spontaneous events and his female anxiety, his mind started to spin. DynamoPlug was just as confused as he was getting dragged away by a Patamon. "HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE? What is this want even is this?" The turtle Digimon screamed fanatically as he held onto his helmet as if he was going to die if he didn't.
After the strangers carried the two out of the coffee shop they dragged them to the middle of town. After the women let go of Kiro, he twirled around as he was still in a daze, confused on what just happened. "Duhhhh...." He said idiotically. When the Patamon dropped DynamoPlug, he quickly ran up to Kiro and hit him in the head with a headbutt. "Get a hold of yourself dude!" He then started to shake Kiro like a rag doll.
Quickly after Kiro regained conscious and stoop up right. "Oww...what happened?" Kiro said with conserd as he looked down at his Digimon and rubbed his head with both hands. "I don't know man but those two seemed to have saved us from an Ogremon or something." DynamoPlug said as he pointed to the two new aquatints. When Kiro looked up his widened. He wasn't imagine it, a girl just dragged him across town. He started to blush and he couldn't even try to look at her. When she asked him if he was alright and his heart sank and mind exploded. Putting his hands in his pockets then attempting to look at heour, Kiro tried to speak sophistically. "Umm...Thank you for helping us I guess. Er, if there was anything I can do to help you please let me know." He couldn't stop blushing. DynamoPlug put his hands over his mouth so Kiro couldn't hear him laugh. Suddenly, Kiro's pocket started to beep loudly. Kiro caught its attention and then pulled out his Digivice as it was beeping maniacally. "Erm...Excuse me miss." He said as he pressed some buttons on his Digivice. A small screen projected in front of Kiro with a message. The message came with an audio sound bit of what it said.
DEAR KIRO, You and another optional tamer of your choice have been chosen to preform an important mission. An epidemic has spread across the WWW Town. You are asked to travel there to deliver this medicine to the towns sheriff, Starmon. The Medicine is now installed into your Digivice as well as a copy for your partner if you choose to have one. The reason we ask you to get a partner if because a mysterious group has appeared in the Digital World recently and we are currently investigating if they are a threat. The Gear Savanna route is the shortest and safest as the moment. Good luck on your mission! You will get paid generously once your mission is complete! -DRF
The projection closed, Kiro sighed as he put the Digivice back into his pocket. He regained his normal self, but sadly only for a short while as he just realized that the women was still in front of him. "Err um...I forgot that I never mentioned my name. I'm Kiro Mazamamamamam- AHH! I'm Kiro Mishima and this turtle is my greatest ally DynamoPlug the Kamemon." Kiro said nervously as he pointed to his Digimon who was still laughing silently. Kiro slapped DynamoPlug on the back of the head as he knew he was getting teased. DynamoPlug stopped and then gave the new girl a salute. "Pleased to meet you mam!" He said proudly as his helmet sagged over his eyes. Kiro sighed as he put a thumbs up signalling that he has to go. "Well umm I guess you heard the message, so uhh well I have to go deliver this medicine now. I-I-I-I-It was nice meeting you. T-Thank you for saving my life." Kiro said. He and Kamemon then turned their backs towards the two new acquaintances.
Marco smiled when he saw Nikky nod frantically. She was really cute. He was completely cut off guard by her happy expression; now he was the one blushing. Marco jumped a little when his digivice started beeping again. The small device had a habit of scaring the daylights out of him. He took out his digivice and watched the screen which was asking him for permission to accept a friend request. "Nikky Ohno..." he looked at Nikky, so she send him a friend request. Marco smiled and clicked the button for yes in order to accept Nikky to be added to his list of contacts. Looks like everything was ready, but the only question left was where they should head to next. Marco wasn't necessarily hungry, but maybe finding a place to eat was a good idea. He was ready to suggest his plan until he noticed the small yellow fox approaching them. Ren was asking if she could join them. Hanako was clearly against the idea considering they just spend a good amount of time trying to reunite Ren with Iris. Chibomon stopped his hopping, he didn't seem to really lean towards any side. He would probably be just as happy with Ren joining or not joining them.
Marco walked over to them and knelt down in front of Ren. "She's right you know. You shouldn't separate from your tamer, she needs you and you need her, right?" His time in the Digital World game had just begun, but even he could feel the bond he was building with his partner. Tamer and digimon were meant to be together. "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll see each other again, Ren." Marco smiled then lightly petted the yellow fox before he stood up and joined Nikky again. "We should get going." Marco waved at Iris and Niara one last time before he left with Nikky, Hanako, and Chibomon.
=============
Walking down the streets of New Network City was quite overwhelming. Marco and Chibomon were enjoying the sights. It really did look like a city with all kinds of people and digimon inside. Marco glanced at Nikky. He wanted to talk with her some more, but he wasn't the best conversationalist. Maybe he could just ask her simple questions and go from there? But what exactly was a good question to ask? There were so many questions he could ask, but he needed to make sure they were appropriate and not too personal. The process was quite hard and while he was thinking, Marco didn't notice that he walked right into someone. Chibomon hopped off his head to avoid the impact as Marco fell back on his butt. "Ouch...oh! I'm very sorry!" Marco scattered to his feet and went to help the person he bumped into. "I'm really sorry ma'am, are you okay?" Marco helped the old lady stand. She was carrying a broom and she was very short, but her grey hair and old-style clothing proved she was an elderly person.

Ariano looked at him, her head tilted to the side, as she noticed that he had a dazed look on her face. It was then that his digimon proceeded yo headbutt him telling him to get a hold of himself. She just watched, smiling a bit. It was nice to see that they shared a good bond between them.
Eventually, the boy woke back up and questioned what had happened. She listened as his digimon then proceeded to explain that they had saved them and she blushed a bit, scratching her cheek lightly. It was then that his eyes widened and he seemed to have started to blush, but why? She frowned and looked at him as he tried to speak more sophistically. She noticed His digimon laughing at him, maybe he just wasn't good around women?
It was then that his voice drew her attention back to him and he seemed to be taking a call or a message of some sort. She waited patiently, her hands behind her back. Patamon decided to rest on her head, and she looked up at him "i'm assuming you're comfortable" she said, as patamon nodded. She coudn't help but overhear what the message said and she was curious now.
She laughed softly at his attempt to introduce himself and his digimon "nice to meet you Kiro and DynamoPlug, i'm Ariano and this is my partner Ash" she said, coming up with his name on the spur of the moment. She smiled as his digimon and gave a small curtsy "please to make your acquaintance" she replied back. Patamon waved "hey there" he said.
She listened to him speak and smiled "hold on, I was wondering if I could tag along... I've been meaning to go on a mission and I don't bite or anything. Besides you can bring another person with you right? So let me come with" she said, smiling at him.

Kiro shuttered when Ariano asked to join him. He turned back around to face her. "Well alright I guess... better safe then sorry. Kiro said with some hesitation. He wasn't the best at saying no to girls. Blushing, Kiro pulled out his Digivice and pointed it at Ariano. He pressed some buttons and then put it away. "I sent you the copy of medicine that we are supposed to deliver. Please check your Digivice just to make sure." He attempted to say seriously. He then turned back around and walked away from Ariano. "Err uhh we better get moving!" Kiro said while look back at. Dynamo speed walked to get caught up next to Kiro as they walked away.
(Exit to Gear Savanna)
====================================
In the distance, four shady figures in suits looked at the group. "That's the target correct?" "Correct! That's the one we need to 'take care' of" Another one said as he pulled out a photo. "Kiro Mishima..."

Ariano noticed him shutter, but he didn't seem to reject her so that was good. She smiled and noticed his hesitation. It was understandable since she was a complete stranger. It was then that he pointed his digivice at hers and she checked like he instructed, and she did have the medicine "I've got it, no worries" she said, as she put it away. He then started to walk away and she followed, Patamon still lazily resting on her head, "right, coming" she called, as she caught up to him and left the city. *Exit Gear Savanna*

Nikky, Hanako and the guys said their goodbyes to Iris and Niara who were planning on shopping, making their group just the four of them again. Nikky was happy that he didn't mind her and Hanako joining him, but she didn't know what to do now. Just stealing glances of him made her nervous. She was way too shy to talk to the male and the butterflies in her stomach weren't helping.
As they were walking along New Network City's main street, Marco surprised Nikky by his fall. Apparently he bumped into a Babamon. "I'm really sorry ma'am, are you okay?" The male asked her as he helped her up. "Oh thank you dearie!" The elderly digimon seemed to be concerned with other things, but accepted his act of kindness. "Oh my! Oh my! There's not enough time!" She said as she looked up at the sun. A piece of paper then fell from her person, prompting Nikky to pick it up to give it to her, but not before glancing at its contents. The piece of paper contained a list of ingredients which had most of its listings already crossed off. "Here. You dropped this. Time for what?" Babamon waved the list as she paced back and forth from the place that she fell. "I have to get dinner started now, but I'm missing the last few ingredients needed." It was a done deal at the mention of a meal. "No problem! We'll help you out ma'am!" Hanako went again, deciding for the group before consulting anyone. Nikky glanced at Marco and Chibomon to apologize. "I'm really sorry about her! You guys don't mind do you?"
"This'll be easy peasy! I know where to get these! You can find these near my old place!" The plant digimon said with confidence after taking a gander at the list to reassure the guys. Her old place? Nikky's eyes sparkled when she figured out what her old friend meant. "Tothetropicaljungleguys!"The girls said enthusiastically in unison as they pointed towards the exit of the city. The girl hadn't been there in so long, so she was rather excited to see it once again. Her previous nervousness now replaced with the anticipation of revisiting the first place in the Digital World she explored so many years ago. "Sowhatdoyousay?" They asked with a smile.
Marco felt very bad about bumping into the elder woman. He normally wasn't a clumsy person. In fact, he was quite composed so how come he didn't see this poor old lady walking? He only felt worse when the elderly woman thanked him for helping her stand back up. Chibomon hopped over to the old lady. "You're a digimon!" he exclaimed quite happily as he previously closed his eyes to sniff the old lady. "Yes I am. My name is Babamon and what is your name?" Babamon spoke with a gentle voice to the baby digimon as she picked him up and petted him. Chibomon was quite happy with getting affection, "My name is Chibomon and tall guy over there is my partner!" Marco took this opportunity to introduced himself as he bowed to Babamon. "My name is Marco, I'm sorry for bumping into you." Marco had no idea that the old lady was actually a digimon due to her resemblance to a human. So far the only digimon he met were creatures that looked like animals or mixture of animals. Even Hanako was more like a plant or a flower, but Babamon really did look like an elderly woman. His attention was taken away when Nikky started talking with Babamon regarding some ingredients.
Hanako was quick to offer her assistance without trying to consult with her partner first. Marco chuckled already seeing their team dynamics with Hanako as the pushy, but trusty friend and Nikky as the girl who must follow along with her friend's crazy plan to make sure she was okay. Marco wondered what kind of interaction he would end up having with Chibomon once he grew older. Marco was once again lost in his thoughts until he was snapped awake by the unison shouts of Nikky and Hanako. Marco and Chibomon were confused by the girls and how they were talking at the same time. Something exciting was clearly happening because they were in very high spirits. Marco was not used to seeing this side of Nikky. There was no doubt in her voice, her shyness disappeared and she had a big smile on her face. Marco was completely caught off guard especially when the girls turned their attention to Veemon and him.
"Y-yeah, of course. It's the least I can do..." Marco was almost blushing, but he quickly turned to Babamon to distract himself. "Don't worry ma'am, we'll have those ingredients ready for you." Chibomon hopped to Marco's arms. They were to head out now. "Let's go." He wasn't sure where they could gather the ingredients, but the girls were confident they could find them so Marco would be following them. He turned to wave good bye to Babamon when he noticed the elder digimon was grinning at him with a knowing smile. He wasn't sure what the grin was about, but for some reason he started blushing. Perhaps he did know and that was why he was blushing feeling a bit embarrassed. Babamon waved at him and Marco nodded as he followed the girls with Chibomon jumping to his shoulder.
Ethan was sitting down outside the Mission Board, he was waiting for one to be put up with a bored expression on his face. Him and Camden kinda got separated with all the people that had came by, and Ethan had let Hero go back into his Digivices storage simply because the X level digimon kept trying to trip people when they went by with its tail.
"Maybe I can just....go find something to do out in the other areas of the Digital World? "He scratched his head curiously.
Iris looked at her digivice as Nikky's name appeared and asked to her to approve her request. Iris did so and then sent out a request for Niara. She was starting on Marco's when she heard Ren's question to join the other two. Hanako looked like she was going have an attack or hit Ren.. one or the other really.
"Oh no you don't." Iris said as she walked over and picked up the foxy digimon. "You're staying with me. I plan to chase you all over the city okay?!"
Iris was going to say more when Marco responded as well. He leaned over since Iris was shorter. Like Iris needed another remainder of her height. At least he was agreeing with her. He patted Ren on her head, who just snorted and turned her head since she wasn't happy with the idea of no food and now being petted like a... she didn't know what she being petted like but she knew it wasn't something she would like- before he waved to her and Niara, and left with Nikky. She waved at him since it was only fair since he was nice enough to wave to her first.
She looked back at her digivice, the question of sending the request to Marco was still there. "Why not..." Iris said as she sent the friend request to Marco. Whether he accepted it was really up to him as she turned to Niara.
"So Niara." Iris said as she stretched the arm that wasn't holding Ren. "You wanna go shopping or get some food first?"

Niara stood and watched the antics wile holding Red in her arms. Red seemed to be enjoying it as he laughed but Nara just sort of watched, looking confused. It was only natural, though. She hadn't had any social contact in years before coming to this place. While the little show went on, Niara's digivice pinged again. Nikky added her as a friend? She wasn't sure what she could do with this feature but exploring it wouldn't hurt. She hit the button she was sure was the confirmation button and Nikky was pretty much the first on her list. Maybe while shopping, Niara could get a manual for this thing.
The antics ended as Marco left with Nikky and Iris asked if they should shop or get some food first. Niara was about to say "shopping until her stomach growled loud enough for all four to hear. She never did get to eat her food before the soup was spilled and they did just run all over town trying to run from a misunderstanding. Maybe eating would be a better idea first. She gave a nervous chuckle to Iris. She was sure Ren would love the idea and Red was starting to get hungry as well. You really love food, don't you, Ren? He was sort of joking as he said it. Niara looked around, starting to walk with Iris as she looked for a good place to eat. The Tavern was too crowded for her taste.
Iris snickered when she found Niara's stomach growling. She snickered until her own joined in to make a duet. "Yea maybe eating would be a better idea. And this time a place where we won't get soup on us. But I am definitely craving something. Something really tasty. Let's go find a place." Iris said with a smile as they started to walk.
Meanwhile Ren was listening and staying as she heard that they were going to eat food. "FOOD!" she brought her little arms up in happiness."Finally!" Finally Iris was talking her language and making sense. She looked Red when said that she really love food. "What?" she said as her tail swayed from side to side. "I'm a growing digimon. Growing digimon need food and I needs lots of it too."
Iris chuckled as she listened to Ren."We're going, we're going. And according to this digivice, we use it to pay for stuff as well. This thing is awesome!"

▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ It had been a many days since Raji had entered the digital world in search for any signs of his brother. He figured he'd have probably already asked every person that had entered the digital world, at least twice, if they'd seen a picture of his brother, Marcus. Was he asking the wrong people? Had his brother truly spent a good four years in the digital world? These questions and more spiraled endlessly in his head as he walked down the same street of New Network City for the 15th period and the third time today.
"You know, if we left the city we could most definitely have a better chance of finding Marcus." The devilish imp would flap its leathery wings to keep up with the young tamer, whispering words of suggestion ever so quietly, like one would expect a devil-type to do.
"You keep saying that, but never actually mention anything beyond that." The boy would glare back at the DemiDevimon that had introduced itself as Cadaiver. It was obvious that Raji didn't trust his 'partner', it was all too coincidental that a digimon knowing of his brother would make itself known without an ulterior motive. It also didn't help that the imp's chosen nickname sounded all too similar to cadaver, a medical dummy made from a previously deceased... human corpse. A chill would go down the boy's back just thinking about it. "Simply put, if you give me a good AND LOGICAL reason for why you want to leave the city so bad, I'll consider it."
"... If that is your wish...." Not at all willing to reveal more of his plan than he had to, the digimon would get the hint that he was being rather pestersome. He would go to landing on the boy's shoulder to rest his wings, cursing the thought of being bound to a human through their infernal digivices. He longed for the days where he could be free again.
Finally, some peace... the boy would think to himself, not caring that the digimon had perched itself again like some bird. He pull out his digivice and would thumb it as if looking for a return or even a mute button. Was this how a digimon and their tamer were supposed to behave towards one another? It was nothing like the tv shows that he'd watched or even the stories he'd heard from other people that had heard from people... that had heard from people that were apart of the first inception into the digital world. He almost wanted to give up and go back to the real world.
Niara listened as Ren continued talking about food and gave a little giggle. Ren you're like a cute little talking plush toy. Kind of makes me wish I could find one of you as well. Yes, Niara was the kind of girl who just adored cute fluffy little creatures and things. When she was younger, she always liked to go to pet stores and pounds to see the little animals and little puppies and kittens. Looking at Ren the way she talked only reminded her of her adoration of cute little creatures. When Iris mentioned using the digivice to pay for things, Niara looked at her own, still not sure how to really use it or what it can be used for. I really need to find a manual for this thing. I don't know how to use it at all. She was very tempted to use her little repair kit to take it apart, dissect it and see how it worked but it was probably the only one she would get so she wasn't going to go for it.
So which way are we going? Do you know any good places here? I think you said you were here once before. She looked to Iris, still not sure where anything was in this town. She knew where the tavern was but that was about all she knew. And aside from the soup, it was too crowded for her to be comfortable. So she looked to Iris, trusting the one with more experience in this world. Red just looked up to Niara before back at Ren, smiling amusingly at her response. Was she going to digivolve into something big? He was eager to figure out what he was going to grow up to be.
Ren grinned as Niara complimented her cuteness. She attempted to puff out her chest and made her sure that her ears and tail flickered cutely as an added perk. .Iris just rolled her eyes when she watched Ren's reaction to Niara's words.After a sigh, Iris just focused on Niara as she said she need to find a manual for the digivice. "Good luck with that one." Iris snickered as she stretched. "As for where we can go..." Iris looked around. "That are plenty of vendors and street food places. let's just dig in everywhere we can."
---
Iris and Niara went looking around for food. It was lucky for them that they were vendors and stores around the city. It reminded her when her and friends went to Chinatown and went to almost every store and eatery there. And a little of when she went to visit some family in Japan and they went out for a little fun at night. As they walked around, the heat was getting to her even after taking off the sweater. Off went the shirt, leaving her in a tank top with the other two layers around her waist. She made a mental note to get lighter and summery clothes.
At least the food was worth the heat. And wasn't the only one that thought that. Ren...her little Viximon, was such glutton that she digivolve to Renamon just so she could eat more food. How was Iris suppose to explain that. Well at least she didn't have to carry Ren anymore.
midway through their eating, each of the girls got a message on their devices. Something about a mission if they accepted it and to meet at the southern part of the city with other tamers that would agree to the mission. After reading over the details of the mission which was a escort mission, Iris agreed to it. As did Niara. With a large bag of snacks and other food Iris stashed up before making their to the meet up point, Iris looked at her device to get an accurate way to get to the check point. Her thought was who was the other two tamers since it required four and her and Niara was one half.
Iris then shrugged her shoulders as she bit into a fired dough ball on a stick. She was still very much hungry to actually think about the tamers any longer.
I still can't believe Ren digivolve so she could eat more food....

Location: New Network City - Streets leading to South Gate
Marco yawned then stretched his arms out. DemiVeemon followed with a yawn of his own, but he quickly returned to sleeping on top of Marco's head. The two returned to the Digital World in order to perform a new mission. After handing the ingredients they collected to Babamon, they were offered a meal as well as a place to stay and rest. Marco and Nikky decided to politely decline since they couldn't impose on Babamon like that. The granny digimon chuckled at them, but accepted their polite decline. Nonetheless she still offered her home to them whenever they might need a place to sleep or even eat. Marco smiled at old digimon who really reminded him of a grandmother and that feeling was quite soothing. The day was practically over after that and Marco decided that it was time to return to his world. Nikky decided to do the same and the two had to say their good byes to each other. Marco was hesitant about letting Nikky go because he wasn't sure when he would be able to see her again. In a bold move, he asked for her cellphone number and asked her if she would be willing to partner up with him again in the future. Waiting for her response was nerve wrecking, but she agreed and Marco was quite happy.
After their good byes, Marco returned to his world with DemiVeemon. Shortly after their return, Marco received a message about a mission being offered by the DRF. The mission seemed very straightforward so Marco decided to call Nikky to see if she would want to join him on this mission. She agreed and the two made plans to meet in the South Gate where the mission would begin. Now here he was in a new day with DemiVeemon sleeping on top of his head. Marco could hardly get any sleep due to his excitement for a mission as well as a chance to pair up with Nikky again.
While he was walking, he rubbed his tired eyes not seeing where he was going which caused him to bump against someone. He caught the person with hands just as he or she were about to fall. He pulled the person towards him so that they would not fall when he felt something soft pressing against his chest. Marco stared at the person he just bumped into which was someone he recognize. "Iris," the name popped into his mind almost instantly. The green-haired girl he met yesterday whose digimon he helped return. Seeing their closeness (they were really close), Marco stepped back to get some distance. "S-Sorry," Marco apologized with blushed cheeks. The softness he felt against his chest was quite clear now.
