Whatever, she was sitting in – was, well – soft, at least. She looked down at it and tilted her head finding that the substance she landed in was bright pink and extremely squishy. Leaning forwards, she got a look at the nearby area. It appeared to be several long, lined, golden fields stacked high with crops, galore. In one of the closest fields against one of the fences was positioned an odd looking, tatty old scarecrow which moved gently in the wind. A large purple bird stood on the glove and stared at the crops longingly, gently hopping from foot to foot. Quite suddenly, the scarecrow spoke through a rip in the front of it’s tattered head. “Hey, hey now. I say, I wouldn’t be sitting thar’ too long,” it spluttered out quite rapidly in one long breath. “Not ‘less you want to smell up the joint, anyway.” With considerable effort. Silica slid herself away from the centre of giant pile of pink goop and slid down one side to her feet. The scarecrow spoke once more, “You’re an oddun’, ain’t ya. I say, you did fall from the sky didn’t ya.” “I-I did?” Silica asked the odd scarecrow, which had now turned to face her. “I don’t remember at all” “Where am I exactly?” “Where are ya? Tha’ Digital World, of course,” the scarecrow laughed so heartily it spun around on the spot. “Ma name’ is Nohemon, young-en,” it said holding out a gloved hand out to the confused girl. “I still don’t understand,” she said slowly, shaking the hand of the Scarecrow. “Well, lets be having ya. Civilisation be that-a-way,” it said impatiently now – spinning on the spot to point in another direction. The bird following along with it, chirping loudly as it did so. “Erm, well. T-thank you,” she answered giving the scarecrow, a confused wave – before moving off in the direction, it pointed out to her. “Sheesh, these tourists,” Nohemon muttered before spinning back into its original position. “Landin’ in the man--” but Silica was out of sight before it managed to finish its sentence.

[Anko Hiroi]

Anko had arrived in the Digital World for the first time, ending up in Terabyte City. Keigo, her digimon wasn't really much of a help for directions. The Chibomon was sleeping in her arms.
The 7 year old whimpered, already very close to tears. "I-- I'm loohoost!" She stammered in somewhat of a sob. The blue fresh digimon stirred in her arms. "Hmmzz? Anko, you'we cwying?"
She nodded, rubbing her snotty nose with her sleeve as she now held Keigo with one arm. "W-where are we, Keigo?"
Keigo took a look around, before looking up with a somewhat startled expression. "Wait, how did we get in the Nowth? You'we not weawing a jacket, you'll catch a cold!" Keigo rambled on, before Anko collapsed and began to cry. "H-hey, hey! Anko don't do this now, we need to wetuwn to Tewabyte City!"

Sniffling, Anko looked back to the direction she came from, but the girl didn't exactly know the path. "K-Keigo, I wanna go h-hooome!"
"Easy, maybe we'll find someone along the way, stop cwying." The Chibomon bounced to her shoulder to nuzzle her neck. When he pulled back, he observed the area once more. "Okay. I think I know whewe to go. But, aftew this, pwomise me we nevew go to the Digital Wowld again, okay?"
Anko nodded, wrapping her arms around herself. "Okay, Keigo.."

Then, Keigo noticed a lone human girl approaching them. "Oh, hewe comes one of youw species. Maybe we can ask hew fow diwections."
Anko nodded, and then started waving. "H-hello! Hello? Can you help us?"

Continuing up the path in the direction pointed out by the scarecrow, she reached another set of tall fences which enclosed a tall crop of, something or other. It didn’t look like any grain, fruit or vegetable, Silica had ever come across in her entire life. “I guess, I’m not in the Cotswolds, anymore,” she muttered to herself, reaching out to the strange crop to get a better look. Then, she heard them, two voices. One of someone very young, who appeared to be rather distressed and one trying to comfort. Preparing herself for the worst, considering last time; it was a scarecrow, this time, who knows... Silica ran up the path towards the voices, calling out softly, “Hello, is someone else there?”. As she grew closer, she got a better look. It was a girl, much younger than herself. At least, it was a human, this time. Although, children are not Silica’s speciality. At least – it beats talking to living scarecrows. “Are you okay,” she attempted in her softest and kindest voice, which came out sounding quite muffled and forced. “Please, don’t...I mean...can I help you?” she stuttered, a little unnerved by the child crying. That was when she found the owner of the second voice, a blue blob-like creature curled up in her arms but with the ability to speak. “...maybe can ask hew fow diwections," it said, looking up to the girl. She nodded and began to ask Silica for help. Asking for help and direction. That was the one thing, Silica had no chance of doing. “I just got here myself, I landed over there somewhere,” she explained waving her sleeve towards the giant pink pile and the fields next to it. “Then, that scarecrow told me to go this way,” she continued pointing back towards the path. “That’s the best, I got,” she said shrugging. “I can’t really tell you any more than that.” She continued to try and reassure the young girl but her eyes were stuck on the strange blue creature still nestled between her arms.

[Anko Hiroi]

Anko sniffled a few times as the stranger approached both Keigo and her. She really was trying to stop the embarrassing crying, but she felt lost and really missed her mom and dad. If only she had listened to her sister and stayed home with Keigo..
Keigo, instead listened to Silica as she said that she just got here herself.
"Oh!" Keigo exclaimed, his black eyes looking up in wonder. "So you'we a new tamew! Did you meet youw digimon yet? They usually go look fow you in the weal wowld, but--"
Anko managed to giggle, rubbing her eyes. "Keigo, you're rambling again."
"Oh, sowwy." Replied the little blue slime. "I just got excited because it's been a while." Anko gently tickled the digimon. "You rarely get excited, you're a lazy bum."
"Hey.." Though he did not say anything to defend himself, probably knowing that she was right after all.

The girl sniffled, feeling slightly more at ease now that Keigo had cheered her up by just being himself. "So you said a scarecrow told you to follow this path?" Anko looked at it, and now that she wasn't freaking out anymore- she recognized that was where she had come from. "Oh, yeah- I think this leads back to Terabyte City." She said, before looking back at the stranger.

Keigo had noticed that the teen was looking at him, and he couldn't help but send her a polite smile. "You look like Anko when she fiwst saw me."
Anko looked down at her partner with her eyebrows raised. "I think what he's trying to say is that you look like you've never seen a digimon before." Which was probably the case.
"Well, we'we digimon. digital monsters." Beamed Keigo happily. "We'we vewy fwiendly." He added, in a bit of a childish manner.
"And cute." Said Anko, giggling slightly.

"Though, I think it might be best to intwoduce ouwselves." He spoke, looking at Anko to continue the introduction. She looked a little puzzled at first, but then raised her finger into the air as if she finally got what Keigo wanted her to do.
"I'm Anko, and this is my partner Keigo. He's still a Chibomon, that's like the lowest of lowest of lowest of--" "YOU'VE MADE YOUW POINT."
"Oh. well. Lowest of levels." Keigo whined at that, Anko was probably not the best person to explain what was going on in the Digital World. She knew nothing of this place apart from a bit of info on the species that lived here.
"So.. yeah. Questions?" Keigo asked cheekily.

“Terrabyte City? A city for – us. I mean for humans, right,” she said slowly, her eyes still fixed on the blue creature, clutched in the girls arms. “If so, that could be useful. I mean, then I can find a way out of here, right?”  Not that she didn’t feel bad for the girl getting lost in some strange who-knows-where sort of place but babysitting was not Silica’s forte at all. At least if we go into the town, I can leave her with someone else who would take better care of her, than I could. Forcing a smile to the girl, she replied, “I’m Silica, just Silica, okay?” Admittedly, her reply was rather brisk and formal, but it got the point across. Her real name was Yui, Yui Asada, but she used the name, Silica in replacement. The girl and the creature had begun to argue between themselves, but she didn’t really understand why. Something about “lowest of the low” and “partners”. The name Chibomon was thrown out too but Silica decided it was best to just ignore it and move on to more important topics. “Okay, Anko…blue blob creature, I think the best course of action here is too go back to the city and find someone who knows what they’re talking about. Don’t you?” Without, letting her answer; she picked herself up, dusted herself down and carried on walking down the path. She just hoped the girl would follow her, as much as the girl was useless and young; she was very as such and it’d be dangerous to let her run around wherever she liked. “The weird scarecrow said, this way was the quickest way to the town,” she exaggerated slightly, in an attempt to make her follow. They moved in silence along the very long path, halfway along the last spiral, several tall drinks machines glinted in the sunlight each one advertising a different type of soda. “You thirsty?” she asked Anko in her attempt at a motherly tone.

[Anko Hiroi]

Keigo snickered quietly as Silica asked if Terabyte City was a city for humans. "Not weally, a lot of digimon live thewe too. Usually thewe awe mowe digimon than humans."
Anko watched her partner with her eyebrows raised as he said that it was mostly a City for Digimon. She remained quiet about it though.
As Silica said that she could find a way out of here if she could talk to other humans, Keigo looked a little troubled. "Yeah.. you see. We'we kinda stuck hewe too, thanks to miss 'adventuwe' ovew hewe." Anko pouted as she looked away. "That's not nice, Keigo."
"Wasn't twying to be."
The 7 year old sniffled, blinking away the tears. "I just wanted to go where my sister was, she never takes me here and now I'm lost. It's her fault, not mine!"
The Chibomon sighed, as much as he would like to go in against that, he couldn't. It would only upset Anko further, and he didn't want her to start crying again. "Fine, Anko. It's not youw fault." Anko calmed down once Keigo had told her that.

Silica introduced herself as well, making Anko nod at her. "Nice to meet you, Silica. That's a very pretty name." She complimented her, with a smile.
After Anko and Keigo were done arguing, Silica suggested to go back to the city. "Uh.. it's not blue blob cweatuwe. It's Keigo. say with me.. Kei-go." He said, looking a little annoyed when she had called him that.
"Okay," Anko said, trusting that Silica would be able to bring them back to the City. Perhaps she would find her sister and be able to go home, too. Though, the girl noticed that Silica got up without even letting her finish. "H-hey! Wait up!" She exclaimed, taking a tighter hold on Keigo to walk after her.

Keigo didn't really want to object to Silica, as he thought talking to a scarecrow was insane. But, since digimon had tons of species, it didn't surprise the Chibomon.
There was a long silence in their walk, and Anko began to get tired. Her feet were hurting, and she was indeed thirsty. So when several soda machines appeared, Anko imagined them being coated in holy light.
Anko nodded heavily when Silica asked if she was thirsty. "I didn't know the Digital World was this big." Anko told Silica, not expecting Keigo to snort. "I told you many times, but you wouldn't listen."
"Well, are you having fun or not?" "We'we lost, youw sistew is going to be mad at us, so no. I'm not having fun."

Silica deciding to simply ignore the two, who were continuing to argue about something or other, that didn’t interest her, turned away from them back to the row of machines. “Well, here goes,” she said, reaching into her pocket and pulling out some crumpled money. Flattening it out on her palm, she pushed the money gently through the slot and waited. Nothing happened. In annoyance, she started to press each of the buttons in turn to try and get the machine to function or to return her money. The machine made a loud clunk, the slot opened widely and then without any more warning a barrage of full cans shot from the now open slot in which you would collect your drink. Several of the cans arched over the field at quite a range and distance, although some fell to their feet. One or two, narrowly missed Silica, Anko and Chibomon, arching past each of their heads in turn. “Ugh, what the h--,” Silica said loudly to herself, pulling the girl behind a rock to protect her from the barrage. “Are you okay, Anko?” She asked her softly, in that same false-motherly voice, she had attempted before. A few more minutes passed and the barrage continued, several clank and clunk from the machine which was wheezing at this point. Several loud bangs from the cans hitting the rocks and bursting open, spreading mixed soda all over the place. Fortunately, after another ten minutes, the barrage stopped abruptly and all became very quiet again. “I guess, it’s out,” she said, peering out from the edge of the rock. “Should we go,” quite annoyed and exasperated now from the amount of crazy, she had already faced. “I just want this to be over,” she sighed to herself, pulling herself out from the rock and then edging closer to the now silent machine.

[Anko Hiroi]

Anko suddenly got quiet as Silica pulled out money and pushed it into the slot. The young child was already thinking about what to get until she noticed nothing was coming out. Silica moved toward the machine and tried to get her money back.
"Huh?" Anko began, but then the machine started making noises. "Wha--" She was about to continue, but Keigo started yelling. "Duck!"
Anko bent through her knees and covered her head, all while Keigo dropped to the ground. The hell was that?!
The cans kept on being fired at them, and Anko suddenly began to giggle. "Free drinks for everyone!" She exclaimed, before she was pulled behind a rock thanks to Silica. "Oh- yeah I'm okay!" She said, smiling because apparently the situation was funny to her.
Keigo, bounced over to them and looked anything but amused. "What the hell was that?" He asked, peering from behind a rock. One of the cans almost hit him.

After about ten minutes, the machine apparently stopped and Anko looked at Silica as she said that it was probably out of beverages. "Um.. I think we should weally get back to Tewabyte City. I don't have a good feeling about this."
"You never have good feelings about anything." Anko replied, picking up her partner.

As Silica said she wanted this to be over, Keigo felt a little bad. He understood why she felt that way. This place was pretty dangerous without a partner digimon and.. well. The Chibomon was still a fresh level, so what could he do?
Then the teen walked over to the silent machine, and Keigo shuddered. "Umm, Silica, I don't think that's a good idea." He began, but it was already too late. Now, the machine began to emit new noises.
"Uh-oh.." Anko mumbled, already taking a few steps back.

The drink machine shook wildly on its base and make another set of loud whirs and clunks as it did so. Various lights on the front of the machine lit up, dimmed and went out; several times before the cover on the front flipped wide open. Another whir came from the machine and then a splutter and then an odd noise like someone squeezing something like jelly. Creeping slowly out from the machine; contorting disgustingly out of the open flap. It was large and green, almost like a gigantic slug. Large, round eyes bounced as it moved stood high on spun stalks and a long tongue which hung out of one side of its mouth and caused it to slur its words. Long yellowing teeth filled its mouth and each breath it took let out a terrible stench. “What are you doing, you ugly creature,” it said, speaking directly to Silica. “Giving me t-t-t-t-his.” On the end of the long tongue lay the notes of money, slightly dampened and sticky. Silica put one eyebrow up, staring at the creature from the base of its body to the top of its eye stalks. “That is money for the soda,” she said, slowly; looking at the several cans of soda which now littered the floor all around the machine. “You didn’t take it, though; and then you used us for target practice,” she continued, rolling her eyes at the creature. “I am Num-m-memon! The gr-r-r-reat and pow-w-w-erful,” it spluttered. “Who are you?” The large eye stalks glaring from Silica and then to Anko and then down to the Chibomon in her arms. “Aha, a-a-a-a digimon!” “Enslaved! Enslaved by a human! How shameful,” it spluttered loudly, letting out a terrible smell from its mouth. Silica looked from the disgusting creature to Anko, her eyebrow again risen in slight interest at how the two of them may react to this.

[Anko Hiroi]

Anko's face contorted in utter fear, her usual face now almost like a ghost. What the hell was that thing? It looked like something the cat had brought in. "E-e-EWWWW!" Anko exclaimed, standing on her tippy toes as she threw Keigo into the air. The Chibomon squealed when he tumbled on the ground with a soft 'umf'.
Then the thing actually started to speak to them, which made Anko slap her hand in front of her mouth, like she was stopping herself from vomiting.
"Didn't she just give you money?" Keigo spoke, after he recovered from the fall. When the Numemon held out notes of money, Keigo shuddered. That surely wasn't a sight he wanted to remember.

As Silica said that what she had given him was the money, Anko walked closer to Keigo to pick him back up. At that time, Keigo laughed, perhaps a bit too cockily as the Numemon called himself great and powerful. He was just a slug, how painful could that be?
"I'm Anko." The child said, ending her sentence with a giggle. Perhaps the slug wasn't so bad after all.
Though, then the Numemon said that Keigo was enslaved by her, which totally made her grimace. "Is not!" She childishly shouted at the Numemon. "He likes to be with me!" She added, patting the Chibomon gently.
"Uhhh.." Keigo said, looking at the Numemon and then back at Anko. "Well, Numemon, I like being with my tamew. Sowwy to buwst youw bubble."

"T-t-t-that is d-d-d-disgusting!" Exclaimed the Numemon, shutting his eyeballs while he swallowed back some bile. "Here! L-l-let me free you f-f-from your captor!" The Numemon added, before making some more odd noises. Anko turned a little green at the sounds.
"Poop throw!" The stinky digimon shouted, and proceeded to throw a large pile of pink dung right at both Anko and Keigo.
The Chibomon, who looked at his tamer and suddenly felt a burst of energy, jumped out of Anko's arms and bounced right toward the flying pile of poo.

"NO!" Anko screamed, but it was already too late. The flying poo was going to connect either way. Until..

Keigo was surrounded in a bright light, Anko shielded her eyes from the intensity of it.

Out of the white light, jumped a DemiVeemon. Keigo now, had grown little stumps as arms and legs, and even a little tail. Secondly, he was no longer a head. Now, he truly had a body.
The happiness however, was shortened as Keigo was hit by the giant turd. The force of Numemon's attack caused Keigo to be flung back, right back on to the ground.
Anko gasped, slapping her hands in front of her mouth. Keigo didn't move after that.
"N-no!" Anko muttered, before landing on her knees in front of the DemiVeemon. "Keigo..? Keigo is that you?" She wasn't sure if it was, because this wasn't the little blue slime she was carrying around before.
The DemiVeemon stirred, slightly opening one eye. "Sh-shor..ry.. Ank.." He whispered at her, before passing out. Tears jumped into Anko's eyes, and she picked up her partner before turning to the Numemon.
"LOOK WHAT YOU DID!" She screamed, holding up the now In-training digimon that had been defeated. "Y-you monster!" She shouted, trembling on her legs.

It was something, she had never seen before. This creature, once small – like a blue puffy slime now lit up like a Christmas Tree and then as the light fades it has become something almost completely different. It was astounding to watch. The new form of the creature jumped right at the slug only to be knocked away by something that was horribly resemblant of the substance, she had landed in when she had arrived in this crazy world. Silica’s face drained of colour as she thought about it and as she watched the poor creature fallen by the hand of this obviously stronger and uglier creature. “Anko, stay behind me, okay,” she said to the girl, quickly; moving in front of her to guard her from any more disgusting attacks. “Well, t-t-t-t-take that,” it said, glaring at Keigo in his new form. “Maybe, that’ll te-e-e-each you to trust in others, huh!” “Especially, h-h-h-humans. Like that w-w-w-worthless girl,” it continued, laughing profusely until it appeared to be collapsing into a pile of green slime. Silica didn’t know why but somehow and for some reason, she wanted to now protect this girl and her partner because it was the right thing to do. Without, any more thought on the matter, she pulled her leg back and kicked the terrible slug right in between the eyes stalks. It fell backwards slightly, a little taken-a-back on what just happened. “A-a-a-a-a hu---uuuman just k---ki---kicked me,” it spluttered angrily, it’s green complexion darkening menacingly.  “That’s it! You’ve messed with the w-w-w-wrong Numemon, I a-a-a-a-am Numemon, the great and powerful!” It began to monologue to itself, bearing down on Silica with daggers in both of its eye stalks which bobbed nastily at her. “Okay, okay. Plan B: Run for it,” Silica said to Anko. “Go, quick!” The Numemon’s complexion darkened still, “Time f-f-f-for my ultimate technique,” it spluttered, leaving an intoxicating burst of stink in the air. “Party Time!” It started to fling several of the lumps of pink stink towards them quite as fast as the cans had been previously. “Let’s go, come on,” Silica urged, helping Anko to her feet and ushering her away.

[Anko Hiroi]

Anko looked up once Silica told her to stay behind them, the child shook her head wildly as she still glared at the Numemon. He had to pay for this, they weren't even doing anything wrong! He just attacked them out of nowhere.
Carefully, she brought Keigo to her chest. The DemiVeemon was still unconscious. "We have to get help.." Anko told Silica, her voice trembling as she spoke. The girl was truly trying to stay strong, but on the inside-- all she wanted to do was cry.
As the Numemon said that Keigo shouldn't have trusted in humans, Anko just simply lost it. "How can you say something like that? He just trust us enough to protect us from you!" She yelled, tears appearing into her eyes.

The monster collapsed into a pile of blubbering green smile, and it was laughing at them. Anko was about to yell some insults as Silica kicked the Numemon right between the eyes. The blubberbut fell backwards and started spluttering angrily, she barely understood what it said.
"You're a b-big meanie!" Anko screamed at him, mimicking Silica's move and kicking him right in what.. should have been the groin of that Numemon after he was done with his monologue.

Silica then said to go for plan B, take a run for it. Anko wanted nothing more to do so, but she still felt that this was unfinished business. Why would a digimon hurt another digimon? What kind of world was this?
The Numemon warned them by saying he was about to use his ultimate move, which was enough for Anko to nod at Silica. They had to get away from here, Keigo was hurt, all because he wanted to protect her. If only she hadn't went to the Digital World in the first place..

The Numemon yelled 'party time!', and at that moment Silica told her to go. Anko nodded and then followed Silica without a second thought. They needed help, someone who could tell them that Keigo would be fine.
"Hang in there, Kei.." She held the DemiVeemon close to her body to share body warmth.

The other machine shook on their base; and as with the first, they each burst open. From each of the machines, another slug like creatures burst out of the metal – their long tongues sticking out nastily from their mouths with terrible yellowed teeth. “N-n-n-now, it really is-s-s-s-s Party Time,” the original and the largest of the bunch said, laughing mirthlessly and maliciously. They began to move forward; closer to the three of them, each of them ready to attack. “Move, now! Anko, go,” she said quickly, giving her a stern but nervous look. “I’ll hold them off, just go,” she said, putting her arms out to block the girl from view. The bunch of monsters readied themselves; similarly as before, priming a terrible odorous pink stink each and targeting it at Silica. “Le-e-e-e-et loose, everyone. Kakakaka,” they laughed nastily, each of the eyes on the top of stalks glaring right at her. Silica closed her eyes, no longer wanting to see what happens next. She could hear the slug like creatures, sliding themselves towards us – and then; nothing. No terrible smells, nothing hit her. So, she urged her eyes open; very slowly. “W-what happened,” she said, very confused. In front of them, a thick layer of ice lay between the group of Numemon and Silica, Anko and Keigo. “Don’t worry, those bullies won’t get through,” came a very sweet and kindly voice but Silica couldn’t see where it was coming from. Well, until she looked down. A short creature stood at her feet, holding onto her leg and was looking up at her. A white rabbit, with two large ears coiled with blue spirals and two smaller on the top of her head. Several large golden crescent imprinted across her forehead and on her arms and chest. Large charismatic red eyes looked up at her with a smile on her face. “Hello, tamer,” it said, sweetly.

[Anko Hiroi]

Anko looked fairly frightened when more Numemon appeared out of the machine, where were they coming from? Out of the ground? The child was confused.
When Silica urged her to leave, Anko whimpered. She didn't want to leave Silica behind.
Anko didn't move, and Silica told her to leave again. "N-no!" Anko said, shaking her head. "I won't leave you behind!" Silica opened her arms, to block the attacks of the Numemon. Although Anko found it very heroic, it was also a little stupid. "Silica--" Anko began, but was interrupted by a what looked like some sort of goat with a moon crescent on her forehead. The digimon summoned a thick layer of ice that stopped the Numemon dead in their tracks.

Anko looked just as surprised as Silica did, eventually a smile appeared on her face. So Silica's digimon finally made an appearance, and not a second too late, too.
"That was a nice save!" Anko beamed, feeling relieved to see the Numemon back away. "I'm glad you met your digimon Silica, she looks very pretty!" The 7 year old complimented the Lunamon. Though, despite this warm meeting, someone needed help.
Keigo stirred in Anko's arms, groaning softly. Anko immediately cradled him. "Don't worry, we'll get help soon. Hang in there.." She whispered, not wanting to ruin the momen for both Silica and the Lunamon.

“Not a minute to spare, right; Tamer?” the bunny creature whispered to Silica. “But, now is not really the time to be talking,” it continued; glancing over her shoulder the ice wall, it had apparently conjured. “I don’t follow,” Silica said. “You’re my…” she stopped and looked to Anko and her partner and made a gesture as if trying to find the word for it. The ice wall behind them began to splinter and crack slightly. “Partner, yes,” it said simply, smiling up to Silica. “You and me, partners, friends, comrades. Whichever you prefer.” Silica put one eyebrow up slowly, as if she didn’t quite believe it. “Okay, check your pocket.” Silica put one hand into her pocket and pulled out a pencil, a rubber band and then her phone and held them out. “See, that’s it.” She shrugged and attempted to return them to her pocket but in one quick movement, the rabbit jumped and touched the phone with her stubby hand. It lit up with a radiantly bright light, similarly to the transformation, Keigo had made, just before. The phone jumped up, red hot and shining and then fell back into her hand, completely different. It was now arc-shaped, with a small screen in the centre and a light blue ring surrounding it. A clip at the top fell against her hand as she moved it up to her face to get a better look. “This is your di--, no it’s OUR digivice,” it said smiling. “Now, Tamer. Let's go,” she said quickly as the ice wall splintered even more so. “My attack won't stop them for too long.” The two of them ran away from the ice wall, Silica beckoning Anko to follow. “Come on, Anko.
