As Hedge moves to set the next chapter up, the students carefully move their digieggs to place them on their laps.

Ruby: "Oh I can't wait to see the partner we get!"

Pyrrha: "I wonder if they'll be the same ones we get in the story."

The TV starts up again.

Explosive Evolution! Greymon!

Yang: "Already we're getting to more evolutions? Awesome!"

Weiss: "And I think we can safely assume it's of one of ours and not a random monster that we might run into."

Blake: "Question being whose?"

"I've been cruising down the river, all the livelong day," Pierce idly sang as they were in the middle of doing just that on the raft made of fish that Gomamon had summoned.

Ruby groaned. "Why must he sing that song?"

Yang: "What? I think it's pretty good."

Ruby: "I won't deny it's good singing. It's just that's the most common song that people tend to sing when they want to pass time, and it's repetitive and annoying after so many times."

"Would you stop already?" Weiss sighed in annoyance. "We've BEEN basically doing that for the last few hours or so."

Weiss: "And NOW is the time I choose to speak up about it?"

Winter: "No offense, Weiss, but I would've thought you'd have broken way before then."

"None taken."

"Yeah well, I was getting bored. After the whole thing with Kuwagamon...this is honestly pretty boring," he shrugged.

"Pierce, I swear to Oum, don't taunt the universe." Gyro told his brother in a bit of annoyance.

Ren: "That's just asking for Murphy to screw with you."

Jaune: "And considering we're sitting on Gomamon's summon, Murphy could just decide to cause Gomamon to tire out, leading us into falling face first into the river."

Nora: "Just look the other way, Murphy. Nothing to see here."

Pierce raised his hands silently and returned to looking ahead.

"I liked the song." Yang said idly.

"It was pretty fun." Biyomon said with a nod of agreement.

"What they said." Veemon agreed with a sage nod.

"Thank you. At least SOME people have taste." Pierce said with a grin aimed at his brother.

Weiss: "Questionable tastes," she muttered. But Yang still heard her.

Yang: "Ouch. That hurts, Weiss."

Gyro rolled his eyes, before casting his eyes to Blake, who, not only was she sitting right in the middle of the raft of fish, but was looking ahead, standing stock still except for her hand lightly petting Patamon.

Not only was she avoiding the water as much as she could, but she was also trying to ignore all the fish they were sitting on… when they hadn't eaten anything for hours.

Definitely a major problem for a cat faunus who wanted to stay hidden.

Blake's stomach growled shortly after, causing her face to turn red from embarrassment. "Not a fun situation to be in as a cat faunus."

Qrow: "You do remember that we can just think up anything to our laps, right?"

Blake facepalmed as she remembered that detail and soon after, some cooked tuna and salmon appeared in her lap.

Nothing they could do at the moment though, the water was pretty low compared to everything else, so they had to wait for the stone walls to get lower before they could remedy the food situation.

"So...I just realized, we never DID talk about this place," Gyro suddenly spoke up, remembering that detail and figured it would be a good a time as any to address the big question of where the hell they were...that and it could be a productive way to pass the time.

Glynda: "Please, I would definitely like to know more."

Ozpin chuckled. "I think we all would like to know more, Glynda."

"Oh yeah, we never got to that since Kuwagamon was trying to kill us," Ruby mused.

"I second that idea," Weiss nodded.

"I'm surprised by how casually dying is getting mentioned. I mean, Digimon don't die permanently, but we still don't really like to talk about it." Salamon said from atop Nora's head.

Ironwood: "I mean, if you take into consideration how our world operates, it's essentially part of our summarization of Remnant to anyone that is an outsider."

Hedge: "If I didn't know anything about your world, James, I don't know if I'd consider that a good or bad thing."

Nora: "Why not both?"

Hedge: "You know what, fair."

"Then that just means Remnant is a lot more vicious than this world...wow, that just sounded a whole lot more messed up outloud than in my head," Pierce said. "But seriously, in Remnant, dying...isn't anything weird. People die pretty much everyday, mostly at the claws of the Grimm."

"What IS a grimm? You mentioned that earlier Gyro." Agumon said as he turned to his partner.

"Yeah, I did. How about this, we do some information exchanging and explain the differences of our worlds?" Gyro suggested, earning nods from everyone.

"You never mentioned the grimm the first time we met though." Agumon muttered.

"Ah, well, for starters, I was still a kid back then, and second, we were in the middle of the city." Gyro said with a shrug.

Qrow: "Well he's not necessarily lying. He's just not mentioning that he and Pierce are from a Grimm-free world."

Ozpin: "A world that, if it didn't have threats of wars and other specific world views, I don't think any of us would mind visiting."

Hedge: "Believe me, it may take decades or even centuries until we reach true peace."

Agumon took that in, before nodding, finding that made sense.

It made Gyro's nerves relax, even if other worlds were now completely believable, he didn't want to know how the Remnant born people would react to what their future history was at the moment, he wasn't ready to become a bearer of bad news.

That made them tense up.

Pyrrha: "It's really that bad, isn't it?"

Hedge: "I won't sugarcoat it, it's really bad."

They all dreaded when that information would be provided to them. Ozpin winced internally since he knew who was no doubt behind everything that would happen.

"I'll take care of info on Remnant." Blake said, everyone nodding and letting her start "Remnant is a place with two major sapient species, Humans, and Faunus, I'll explain about Faunus in a minute." she said as she saw some of the mons open their mouth to ask "They don't exactly live in peace with one another though."

"Well, the White Fang should put a stop to their actions then." Weiss said, and Gyro and Pierce twitched at the haughty tone.

Weiss winced at her other's tone as well. "I was really stuck up, wasn't I?"

"Yup," was Yang's instantaneous response.

"That's not something you were supposed to agree with so happily, you brute!"

Winter thought about her sister's other's tone and compared it to hers. It was almost the exact same. "She probably got that tone from me, or worse, from Jacques."

Weiss looked at her sister. "To be honest, it's a little bit of both."

"To be fair, Sienna Khan is a bit of an extremist and has different views from the previous leader from what I've heard. Honestly, if they had just followed the way he was doing things, they would have gotten results eventually, even if slowly." Gyro said, trying to stop any possible early clash between Blake and Weiss.

"Plus, your family is partially to blame for the White Fang getting violent Weiss." Pierce said, deciding to help by directing Weiss's ire towards him instead.

"What was that?" she said snappily.

"You heard me. Look, everyone knows your father is a... " Pierce trailed off, looking at Ruby and motioning she should cover her ears, which she did, figuring he was going to say something bad "A total heartless bastard who thinks of profit above everything else."

Winter and Weiss shared a look at that description of their father.

Winter: "He's not wrong."

Weiss sighed. "Unfortunately, no, he's not." She then eyed the pocket in her sister's uniform that housed the flash drive they received as a gift. "Though, we may have a way to be rid of him."

Yang: "That's a little...dark...don't you think, Weiss?"

Weiss: "You know what I meant."

Nora: "Anyone imagine if Weiss and/or Winter were born as a Faunus, how they'd be regarding the human/Faunus issues?"

Everyone looked at the ginger-girl confused where that question came from.

Winter: "Miss Valkyrie, my stance on Faunus is neutral. In fact, I work closely with a few Faunus in the Atlas Military, and I never let Jacques' influence take effect over my stance on them. The only thing I may hold over them is my rank. Now if either of us were born a Faunus, I'm not sure we could confidently say how we would feel about it."

Weiss: "Yeah, I don't even know where to start on how I'd act about it."

Hedge: "It'd probably also depend if either Jacques or Willow were also Faunus, assuming the Schnee blood line stayed the same."

Ironwood: "If Jacques was still a human, then I feel things would be worse than how they are now."

Everyone agreed on that notion.

"Look, before you say anything, we're NOT trying to make you think your family is wrong and the White Fang is right. Hell, under Sienna, they're as much a part of the problem. But just...think about the kind of person your father is, and what he's done and ask yourself, 'Is the animosity to your family REALLY that unwarranted?'" Gyro said, halting any tirade Weiss may have started.

She looked at him for a good long moment, before looking down as Tentomon nudged her, eventually sighing as she put a hand on his head "Alright… I'll give it some thought."

"That's all I ask for Weiss." Gyro said with a nod.

"One last thing, not an insult don't worry, Winter Schnee, your big sister from what I've heard, was the heiress before you were… try and think about what that means as well." Pierce added, keeping it short, and Weiss took that part with a slow nod.

Winter: "It wasn't easy. When the opportunity to join the military came up, I took it up instantly. Had to deal with him cutting off my allowance a number of times, but after a bit, I just didn't give a damn, even when he revoked my heiress title."

Ironwood chuckled. "I remember the numerous calls from him saying 'I took his daughter away from him.' I always told him you came to me for the opportunity. All I did was accept you in."

Despite herself, Blake couldn't help but smile a little. The fact Weiss was actually considering this was to her proof that Weiss wasn't like her father. But then she remembered they were still in a conversation. "Anyway, back on topic, yes, at the moment things aren't exactly peaceful between the two races. Humans are well...you can see a number of examples right here," she chuckled. "As for Faunus, they honestly look the same as humans, with the addition being a single animal trait on their bodies. For example, a tail, ears, scales, feathers, I've even heard of spider faunus with multiple eyes."

Yang: "I'll be honest, Blake. That type of Faunus sounds really scary and would be terrifying to see."

Blake: "I'm not offended. I'd probably react the same way if I ever saw one like that."

Hedge: "Wonder how they'd react to seeing Elise from League of Legends?" (AN: Bite Marks cinematic anyone? I know her base skin she doesn't have eight eyes, but come on. That would be freaky if she did.)

The partners all considered that for a moment, and wondered about the possibility of Faunus with body parts similar to their own, before nodding at her to continue.

Blake nodded a bit, internally happy to be teaching something like this to people who hadn't heard of it before and being able to give a non-biased account of it "As for what Gyro mentioned earlier, the Grimm… we still don't know exactly what they are, other than beings who wish to destroy anything and everything in their path. If you go near one, it's only if you're going to kill it, as they will want to do the same to you, for the sole reason that they can."

Ren: "I'm assuming you wouldn't be able to add anything on top of that explanation?"

Hedge: "I mean I could, but what Blake advised there is the rough rundown on how the Grimm act. Anything else would be spoilers."

He could inform them about who created the Grimm, but that would be explained later on.

While they didn't say it vocally, the partners felt a bit afraid at such a thought, a beast on the hunt for them, not for food or anything like that, but just to kill them for the sake of killing. It wasn't a pleasant thought.

Ozpin: "So they also can express human emotions. Interesting."

Glynda: "I wouldn't exactly say that's out of the ordinary. We saw how Agumon acted back when Gyro and Pierce were kids as Koromon."

"Let's move on to something a bit lighter." Blake said when she felt Patamon shaking in her lap, starting to rub his back softly to ease him.

"Right, I think that'd be good," Patamon said, looking a little afraid.

"I'll explain," Tentomon said. "Anyway, as some of us mentioned before, this is File Island in the Digital World. The Digital World is well...our world," he started. "Hm...for starters, there aren't any humans or faunus here as far as we know. Only Digimon."

Qrow: "As fas as they know. Given what we saw from the intro sequence, it seems that fact is a bit false."

Ironwood: "Considering they were only hatched a month ago, there is some truth to that. They might not have been able to travel around this 'Digital World' to see if that point is true or not. Especially if they were in the fresh or baby stages Hedge mentioned that whole time."

Weiss: "We at least have a name for what they actually are: Digimon."

"Digimon?" the humans (and one faunus) asked.

"Oh yeah, we never told you," Gabumon said. "We're…"

"Digital Monsters! Digimon for short!" the now named Digimon all said in unison.

"Hm...Digital Monsters? Digital World? FILE Island? You're talking as if we're in a computer," Ren couldn't help but say, having noticed the trend in naming.

Nora: "Yeah, come on. That's crazy talk!"

"Wait for it..."

The Digimon looked at each other at that, before looking back at the humans and one faunus "Well, that's because we are." Wormmon answered for everyone since his partner had been the one to say it.

The room was shocked to hear Wormmon say that so casually.

Yang: "... well shit."

Ruby/Glynda: "Language!"/"Miss Xiao Long!" Ruby pushed her swear jar into her sister's lap and begrudgingly, Yang put another lien card inside.

Weiss: "How is something like this even possible?" Baffled that someplace like that is even...real. Matters to enter it are definitely crazy, but unless they never saw the way their others got swept up and deposited in the Digital World...well, she'd quickly say they were prime people to be placed in the looney house.

Hedge: "You'd be surprised how many forms of media have utilized a computerized world. Movies, TV shows, manga/comics, video games, the list goes on." He's seen his fair share of them.

You could hear a pin drop at how silent the now slower ride became, everyone not native to the world looking at the Digimon in shock.

"So wait...you're saying we're LITERALLY inside of a computer?" Yang blinked.

"Well...we don't know about that, but we do know that our world was made from data that came from the human world," Biyomon supplied.

Blake: "Data from the real world? What does that mean?"

Ironwood: "Wait a minute. Could Biyomon be referring to all the raw data that is being transmitted through the CCT?"

Winter: "That would make sense, but considering how everyone on Remnant uses the CCT..."

Pyrrha: "News, calls, texts..."

Ruby: "Makes you wonder just how big the Digital World is."

"In a sense you could say all of us are data based lifeforms," Wormmon added.

"But you're all sentient right?" Pyrrha asked, looking at Gabumon.

"Of course, each Digimon makes its own decisions about each and everything around it and about itself." Gabumon explained as best he could.

Qrow: "Wonder how they'd be if they weren't sentient."

Jaune: "I'd assume they'd have preprogrammed dialogue or something along those lines. Or not talk at all."

Ozpin: "Reaction times would also probably be slower than a sentient reaction."

"Wait, if all of you are data, but you feel like flesh and blood… what about us?" Jaune asked, feeling a bit worried.

"Are we like a bunch of 0s and 1s now or something?" Nora said, tilting her head in confusion, surprising the brothers a bit she understood computers to a degree.

That made the students a bit worried. If it was true, could it be that their physical bodies weren't actually there and were more like an astral projection or something? Also, what would happen to them if they were to die inside the Digital World?

"That's… we're not sure about that one actually." Veemon said as he scratched his cheek.

"But if you ask me, it all depends on how you feel, and I don't mean emotionally, I mean physically." Tentomon said, clarifying his words without missing a beat.

"In my opinion, we're all real, and that's the only thing that matters." Gyro said after a moment of thought.

The students released a breath of relief at what Gyro said. As long as they thought like that, they would always believe they were real.

The others all halted their own thoughts at that, finding that while it was simple, Gyro was right, they were all real, they could all feel, and that's what mattered.

"At any rate, Digimon in this world vary. Some are big, some are small, and likewise some are peaceful while others, like the Kuwagamon, are violent or like to cause trouble," Tentomon continued.

Ozpin: "Very human and Faunus like to me."

"So you're just like us then," Ruby smiled.

"I guess we are," Palmon chuckled.

"I have a question though, speaking of Kuwagamon, what exactly happened back there? We heard you speak while in those lights, something about evolution?" Pierce asked curiously, and everyone realised they were indeed rather curious about that.

"Wait, what's evolution though?" Nora asked, confused.

"Evolution is the process wherein which a species slowly, over the course of centuries or even millenia, becomes better, each generation after the current one being better than the last, to optimize survival." Weiss replied as if she was reading straight from a dictionary.

Yang: "Neeeerd!"

Weiss: "Quiet you."

Ruby chuckled. "I don't think Nora was referring to that type of evolution, Weiss."

Hedge: "Though going based off that definition, Faunus could be considered an evolution of humanity."

Weiss: "I beg your pardon?"

Winter: "No, he's got a point, Weiss. Think about it, what do you get when a human and Faunus reprodruce?"

Blake answers immediately. "A Faunus child with a trait from that parent."

Hedge: "Exactly. If humans and Faunus can put aside their differences, then Remnant would end up with nothing but Faunus if the two end up reproducing together. Humans would fizzle out over a period of time, whether that be natural causes or in battle."

"That's basically it yes, but for us Digimon, Evolution doesn't take that long, it can take years for some yes, but it's very much always within our lifetime. Such as earlier, the power from your Digivices pushed us up to what I suppose you could say is our basic form, as the others are usually only for newborns, or for when a Digimon has a considerable amount of power." Tentomon explained like a school teacher.

"Huh, that's actually pretty cool," Jaune blinked, before taking out his Digivice. "Wonder what else these things can do."

"Sorry, we can't help ya there," Gomamon said. "We didn't know they could do that until just now."

"Maybe pressing the buttons can help us figure it out?" Ruby said as she took her own out.

Nora: "PUSH ALL THE BUTTONS!!" About to do so with her own Digivice.

"One button at a time Nora." Ren said suddenly with a sigh, making Nora groan as her plan to push ALL the buttons at once was stopped in its tracks.

Ren was about to say the exact same thing, but his other beat him to it.

Nora: "Rats," she muttered.

"Actually I don't think you should do that...at least not until we reach dry land," Pyrrha suggested. "You don't want to accidentally drop those."

The ones who had taken out their digivices all put them away sheepishly at that.

Gomamon suddenly perked up "Well you won't have to wait long, the fishes are telling me the ground level is meeting the water level soon enough."

"Good, I think my butt is getting cramps from sitting on it so weirdly for so long." Yang said, reaching down to rub said part part of her body.

Ruby: "Yang, we didn't need to know that!"

Yang: "Sorry, but you have to admit that it's not that much of a comfortable sitting spot."

It wasn't long before the group made landfall, and soon got off the makeshift raft, the fish soon dispersing, and the huntsmen in training doing some stretches to get the kinks out of their bodies from the limited movement for so long.

"Now, let's see what the Digivices can." Gyro said, grabbing his own and looking it over, before pressing one of the buttons on it, the screen suddenly showing him a radar of some sorts… though there didn't seem to be anything on it, he then looked at the two buttons that were on top of each other and pressed the one on the top, the screen zooming in, pressing it again, and this time, on top of his blinking dot, he could see 9 other visible ones, all in the same spots as the others.

Qrow: "Huh, well what do you know. A radar function."

The students then each took hold of their own digivices and checked out they too had the two radars, or at least one of them was currently working.

Jaune: "So looks like the one currently working with the blinking dots is our own locations."

Weiss: "Wonder how we can track distance."

Hedge: "They have a zoom feature. The more zoomed in you are, the closer you can determine any reading that appears is relative to you. Vice-versa if you zoom out."

Ren: "And for the second radar?"

Hedge: "That will explained later."

"Well, looks like there's a radar function, we can use it to find each other at least." He said, the others nodding, accepting that.

"I found a clock, it's close to 5 PM right now." Pyrrha said, making them all blink at how much time had passed.

Glynda: "Now is that relative to Remnant or the Digital World?"

Ironwood: "Good question."

"Seems there's another radar but...I'm not seeing anything," Ruby said. "Don't think its broken though."

"Probably whatever it's supposed to pick up isn't in range," Pierce said with a shrug.

However, before they could discuss more, another more pressing matter came up. In the form of 20 stomachs growling. "Right...we haven't eaten anything since breakfast…" Jaune groaned. With all the excitement, he'd honestly forgotten about that until now.

"Well, we're on an island, so obviously there has to be some way the Digimon sustain themselves." Ren reasoned.

Blake: "Unless they don't eat."

Ozpin: "I think that was disproven earlier with Gyro and Pierce feeding Koromon all those years ago."

Blake: "Oh yeah..."

Pyrrha: "Guess we'll find out what they eat for sustenance."

"And we did go downstream," Pyrrha added. "If we follow it, we should reach the ocean, and maybe we'll find something."

"Sounds like a plan. Okay, so we'll follow the stream, and while we're at it, keep an eye out for anything edible," Gyro nodded, before turning to the Digimon. "Can you guys help us look too?"

"Of course!" they all nodded enthusiastically.

With that decided, the group started following the stream, on the lookout for anything edible, and also for any beaches, only two of them weren't walking though, Gomamon swimming along next to them, and Tentomon flying, the two being the slowest walkers out of the Digimon.

"By the way, I've been meaning to ask about evolution, you guys all changed names when you turned into these forms, right?" Jaune asked, looking at Gomamon.

"That's right, I went from being Bukamon to Gomamon." he said with a nod, putting it to the basics.

The other Digimon all decided to follow his example, introducing themselves one by one in case some of the hunters hadn't heard their names earlier.

Once everyone was properly reintroduced, they continued on their way, making small talk as they did. Along the way… "I found something!" Patamon said, flapping up to a tree...one that what appeared to be honest to god apples...only for some reason they were colored a silverish shade of green.

Students: "Food!"

Winter: "I'm not sure those are ripe to eat considering their silverish color."

Qrow: "They're not black, so I say their good enough to eat."

"Wow, we must be in luck to find these!" Biyomon agreed as she flapped up to take a closer look.

"What are they?" Blake asked.

"These are Meat Apples. They're really hard to find," Patamon said.

Yang: "Say wha?"

Ren: "Meat...apples? I...don't even know how to feel about that."

Ozpin: "If they're anything like regular meat foods, I'd suggest not eating them right away as they may be raw."

Nora: "Wait you can't eat meat raw?"

Everyone whipped their heads towards the gingerhaired girl, wondering why she even would ask that kind of question.

Ren facepalmed. "No, Nora, you can't eat meat raw. I've told you this before a few times."

Nora thought about for a bit before it clicked. "Oh yeah! Forgot!"

Everyone else was puzzled and then just returned their attention to the screen.

A pause went through the collective huntsmen. "Meat...apples…?" they all asked, looking more than a little clueless at the moment, while the fliers immediately went to work harvesting the apples, with the ones who couldn't fly catching them as they fell.

"So uh...are these some kind of fruit?" Jaune asked, idly picking one up.

"Wait, don't eat it like-!" Gomamon tried to stop him but...too late.

"Bleeh! Are these even edible?!" Jaune gagged after one bite.

"I tried to warn you. You can't eat them raw. You need to cook them first," Gomamon sighed.

Ozpin: "Seems my assumption was correct."

Jaune groaned. "And it had to be me that made that blunder."

"Ok, Jaune, that blunder was all on you, that was pretty obvious." Gyro told him dryly, the others nodding in agreement… except for Nora.

"You can't eat meat raw?" She said innocently.

Ren had to refrain from very audibly palming his face at those words "No Nora, we've been over this before."

She paused, trying to think before snapping her fingers in remembrance "Oh yeah!"

Ruby: "Oh look. An echo." Leading to a few of them chuckling.

"Oh dear angel digimon up above help me." Salamon muttered, shaking her head while Wormmon pat her back with one of his claws.

"There's a meat apple for every different kind of meat in the world." Tentomon said, deciding to move along while Jaune was dunking his head in the river water to wash out his tongue. "Though what kind of meat you get...there's no way of telling until you actually eat it."

"At least these aren't 'every flavor apples'," Pierce snickered.

"Oh dear god, I still gag at the thought of those things." Gyro muttered, trying to hold in his lunch at remembering the 'every flavor jelly beans' from Harry Potter. "I'll...go get some firewood so we can cook these when we get to the beach," he said, changing the subject.

Winter: "Every flavor jelly beans?"

Hedge chuckled. "You heard correctly." He raised his hand and a small box appeared in it. "Say hello to the Bean Boozled Challenge. A gag game that people can play in a group or one person could do so on themselves."

Glynda: "And why would anyone want to subject themselves to doing that?"

Hedge: "Comedic reasons. One of my friends does live streaming, and before you ask, yes that can be a career, and when he is playing games, he has a point redemption to take a bean. Now, each bean has the possibility of two different flavors: a 'good' flavor and a 'bad' flavor. The reason I put them in quotations is because some of them are the opposite, but that depends on the person eating the bean. For instance," he pulls out a bean from the box, "this here bean can either taste like birthday cake, the good flavor, or toothpaste, the bad flavor."

Ironwood: "I don't necessarily see toothpaste as a 'bad' flavor."

Hedge: "My buddy would say the same thing, which is why he prefers to get that bean over the others. Some examples could be barf, booger, canned dog food, or rotten egg to name a few."

Weiss: "Gross!!!" Her face turning green.

Winter: "And your friend does this willingly?"

Hedge: "Yes, again it's for comedic purposes, but as long as us, his chat, are having fun, he'll put up with it. Though he does increase the point redemption value every time we redeem it, that way we don't continuously spam it."

Yang walks over to him. "You wouldn't happen to have the one that might be canned dog food would you?"

Hedge looks at the box, then back at her. "I do. May I ask why?" with a raised eyebrow.

Yang gives a cheeky grin. "Oh, just want to test them out. I'll take two."

Hedge ultimately obliges and picks two of the specific bean Yang asked for and handed them to her.

Yang: "Ruby, catch." She tosses one of them to her sister, who does catch it.

Ruby looks at the bean in her hand. "Uh, why did you toss it to me?"

Yang: "Oh come on. You don't think I forgot the one time I caught you trying Zwei's dog food when we were younger, do you?"

Ruby's face turned bright red that it matched her hood. "Yang! You said you wouldn't tell anyone about that!" She cried out.

Her friends looked at her incredously.

Weiss: "You ate some of Zwei's food?"

"I WAS 5!"

Qrow chuckled. "I remember that. Came by for a visit and heard from Tai what had happened."

"NOT YOU TOO, UNCLE QROW!"

Blake: "Anyway, so what's the other flavor this particular bean could be?"

Hedge looks back down at the box. "Says here the good flavor is chocolate pudding."

Yang: "Come on Rubes. I know how much you love anything chocolate flavored."

Ruby was still a but flustered, but her sister was right; she really did love anything chocolate. "Fine! But I'll get the pudding flavored one, and you'll be the one eating the dog food!"

Jaune: "Is there a better chance at getting the good flavor the more beans are eaten?"

Hedge: "To my knowledge, no. I don't believe there is an even split of good and bad flavours for each bean. I wouldn't put it past the makers to put more bad flavor ones than good. But it's always a 50/50 chance at getting either flavour."

The two sisters look at each other and the bean in their hands, and as much as Nora wanted to make a betting pool on who'd get what, Ren stopped her. They plopped the bean into their mouth and started chewing.

Hedge: "It takes a little for the taste to kick in."

Ruby's eyes widened at the taste she started to take note of, and a wide grin appeared on it. "Ha! I got a chocolate pudding one!"

Then the rest of them looked over to Yang and noticed that she was wincing at the taste her bean she had in her mouth.

Ruby takes notice and decides to seal the deal. "What's the matter, Yang? Dog got your tongue?"

Yang: "If you know what's good for you, Ruby, you'll stop talking." Ruby giggles and puts her hands up in surrender, Hedge gives Yang a mini trash can to spit the bean out, and then it disappears.

"Wait… where are we going to put all of these?" Weiss suddenly realised as she looked at the pile the Digimon were STILL filling up, apparently, they had decided to clean the area of it's meat apples.

"Oh, that's easy, Azure is so smart, he made a camper's best friend." Pierce said as Gyro disappeared into the trees to gather firewood, pulling out a small pouch from his pocket, opening it decently wide, dropping an apple in it… and the bag stayed the same.

Everyone, the Digimon included, stared at it speechless.

"Yeah, he was able to make pouches with more holding space than their supposed to have, and when you drop something in it, it gets scanned, and sent somewhere appropriate, so meat apples get stored…" he trailed off, putting his whole arm through the opening of the bag "Judging by how cold it is, I'm guessing the freezer to keep them fresh."

Ruby: "I need the schematics for that. The amount of weapon parts and cookies I could fit in there would be insurmountable."

Weiss facepalms. "Ruby..."

"Geez, and I thought dad liked to over prepare us." Yang said, shaking her head in bewilderment.

"What else do you have in there?" Blake asked.

"Pretty much everything, a freezer, a fridge, other places I can't pronounce the names of because they were weird, and plenty of survival gear and first aid kits, there's probably stuff to sterilise water too." he said, suddenly sticking his head inside "Yeahp, sterilizing kit right here."

"You have all that… but no food?" Ruby had to point out.

"Our brother may be smart, but he's also an idiot at the same time." Gyro said as he came back, stuffing some firewood into his pouch."And to be fair, we were supposed to only be in the Emerald Forest for a day. Not end up on an island inside some kind of cyber world."

Ozpin: "He makes a good point. There actually used to be an initiation that took multiple days to complete, which required partners to utilize supplies and the wilderness to survive over the course of the duration."

Qrow: "I remember you telling us about that type of initiation before. What made you stop?"

Glynda: "Groups stealing supplies from others instead of working together."

RWBY and JNPR looked at each other. They all came to the conclusion that if that type of initiation was still around, people like Team CRDL would no doubt do that.

Everyone looked at each other, then nodded in acceptance. If ANY of them had expected anything beyond a day trip, they'd also have packed food.

It wasn't long before all the meat apples and fire wood was securely stored in the pouch, and they were on their way. They were hungry, but they also agreed it'd be better if they made it to their destination first before eating.

"Ocean ahoy!" Gomamon reported from his spot in the water, having a clear view of the approaching ocean.

"Alright, let's go!" Ruby said enthusiastically and ran forward...with her semblance.

Weiss: "You dolt. Why not wait for us?!"

Ruby: "You know I could just run forward to scout and quickly get out and back, right?"

Weiss: "Well what if what ever you ran into you couldn't do that? she countered. "Need I remind you of the Nevermore feathers your cloak got stuck on during initiation?"

Ruby slumped in her seat. "Ok, fair point."

"...huh, guess she's really excited," Jaune blinked as they stared at the blur that was quickly leaving them behind.

"Ruby, wait for me!" Palmon said as she started chasing after the girl.

Yang chuckled. "Palmon, I'm not sure if that'd be a good idea for a first timer." If she was attached to Ruby while she used her semblance, the plant-like Digimon would no doubt be seeing stars.

"Well, she's got the right idea," Yang shrugged before they all chased after the girl. However, when they got close they heard the sound of ringing..which quickly stopped...then started again. Arriving at the scene, they were met with the sight of payphones, with Ruby going between them, picking up any that were ringing, but the confusion on her face made it clear she wasn't picking up and hanging up for fun.

Winter: "What on Remnant...?"

Hedge: "Fair warning, you're going to want to turn off your brains for a bit."

Everyone stared at the scene while Palmon ran up to her, before it clicked in their minds "Scrolls!" they all said at the same time, digging into their pockets to pull them out and opening them, all of them trying to contact people back home.

As for what they got…

"You have reached the imperial shaq, please hold while we connect you to our waste disposal."

"It is currently 49:73 AM, please have a good night."

"This number is out of service in your clothes, please try again never."

And other nonsensical things.

Ironwood: "What the heck even was that?"

Blake: "Something bizarre that's for sure."

As one, the hunters all ended their calls, annoyed in some form or another.

"Too bad. Would have been nice if you could have called Azure." Agumon said as he looked up at Gyro.

"Well, in retrospect it probably should have been obvious it wouldn't be THAT easy." Gyro sighed. "Still though...what the HELL was THAT?"

"Probably something we don't want to know," Blake deadpanned.

"I guess I can't deny that." Gyro said with a sigh, before looking back at the beach, seeing Ruby zipping past every phone… "Hey Yang? Can you call Ruby with your scroll? See if that works?"

Yang blinked, before figuring she could give it a try and went to her contacts before calling her little sister, who suddenly stopped moving and went to one of her ammo pouches, her scroll apparently in there and pulling it out, before they all heard Ruby's voice from Yang's scroll "Hey Yang, what's up?"

Jaune: "You keep your scroll amongst your ammo?"

Ruby: "Take a good look at my or Weiss' combat skirt and you tell me where else we can place it, besides clipped to our waist like Weiss does hers."

Jaune did a quick glance and nodded. "Touché."

"We were seeing if our scrolls worked, we can't call home, but apparently we can call each other." Yang said, sagging in some relief that should they ever get separated, they could keep in contact, on top of finding each other thanks to the Digivices.

"Oh! That kinda sucks. Dad and Uncle Qrow probably know we're missing by now and are worried sick." Ruby said, the frown audible in her voice.

Qrow: "I don't see myself going too crazy over wondering where you two are. Tai on the other hand..."

Ozpin: "I'd expect him to be banging on my office door, yelling and asking just where his daughters are," a smile on his face as he can picture it in his mind.

"Tell her to hang on so we can catch up. We might as well set up camp or something here since it'll be dark soon," Gyro said.

Yang nodded, telling her sister just that as she finally stopped moving, Palmon finally dropping down on the sand after following her so much.

It wasn't long before the group was sitting on the beach, a fire burning merrily in front of them, while a portion of the meat apples they'd gathered earlier now skewered on sticks, and roasting over the open fire. "You know, if someone had told me I'd be eating an apple that tastes like hamburger, I'd have called them nuts before today," Pierce said as he took another bite off the apple he had roasted.

Weiss: "Curious what type of nutritional value those can have."

Ruby: "Weiss...please don't..."

Ironwood: "Even if we were to have scientists take a sample of them before they were eaten, Miss Schnee, I don't think they'd be able to determine said value unless they were to actually take a bite."

Pyrrha: "They probably would have the same nutritional value as the meat item they taste like, but that's just an assumption on my part."

"Somehow I think sanity went out the window a while ago," Blake said, taking a bite out of her meat apple, which was, much to her delight, tuna flavor.

Blake envied her other.

Hedge: "If you are wondering, you can think up a specific type of meat apple."

Blake's head whipped back towards their host with shock. "Wait, we can think up food and drinks that are from the Digital World too?"

Hedge nodded, and Blake thought up a dozen meat apples, all tuna flavored. Soon they appeared in a basket in her lap. She was about to bite into one until...

Yang: "Wait, wouldn't you need to cook them first?"

Hedge: "Any and all food that is summoned here is already cooked at the temperature you request. You want a hamburger or steak at medium rare? You'll get a hamburger or steak at medium rare (AN: I prefer medium for both, but that's just me).

Blake: "And besides, fish can actually be eaten raw, but only as Sashimi."

Hedge: "Hmm, now I'm wanting some Sashimi, Blake." A plate appears in Hedge's lap with slices of fish: salmon, tuna, and shrimp, along with some wasabi and soy sauce.

As for the others, they were curious on just how a meat apple tasted, so they went ahead and summoned up one of their choosing. Needless to say, they were wowed.

"Eh, sanity's overrated," Nora said with a big grin as she took a bite out of her bacon flavored apple. "These are really good. You sure there aren't any pancake flavored ones?"

Everyone gave her a deadpan stare at her words "Nora… pancake isn't made from meat, even I know that, and I was basically born a month ago." Salamon said dryly.

Nora stopped, placing her finger to her chin "Oh yeah." she then grinned "Oops! Looks like I forgot again."

Everyone except Hedge, Ren and Nora had paused in their eating and looked at the hyperactive girl in question.

Glynda: "How...?"

Ren cut her off. "Don't ask. It'll save you a headache."

"I'll...take your word for it."

A few groans were heard at that. "At any rate, what are we going to do?" Weiss asked. "We need to at least have some kind of plan before we can proceed."

"Well, we know there's a big mountain in the center of the island. I was thinking we could head for it, if nothing else so we can see the whole island, and possibly find some clues along the way," Gyro shrugged. "Not the best plan I know, but anyone got any better ideas?"

They all looked at each other silently at that, before eventually shaking their heads at him.

Ironwood: "Well, it's better than having no plan at all."

"Well, guess that's our plan for now, hopefully we'll figure out how to get back home along the way?" he said with a sigh.

"You're going to leave?" Agumon said with a frown, something the digimon all mimicked at the thought of their partners leaving already.

Ruby: "What?! No way we would leave them behind. If they are to be our partners, we're sticking together to the end!"

Rest of the students: "Yeah!"

"Why are you worried? We'll bring you with us when we do." Gyro said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"We didn't spend a decade looking for ya just to leave you again," Pierce grinned as well. "And no way are we leaving ANY of our friends if we can help it." he added, turning to Veemon as well and presenting him with his fist.

Veemon grinned as he looked at it and bumped fists with him.

"Gotta admit, it would feel pretty weird to leave you guys behind." Jaune admitted to Gomamon, earning a thankful smile.

"Would definitely be pretty awesome to bring you guys with us." Yang said to Biyomon, the bird digimon smiling as she leaned on her.

Weiss: "Only real problem would be blending in."

Winter: "Actually, I think some could actually pass as pets if they stayed in this form, while a few others could pass a child Faunus."

Ozpin: "Only downside would be for the ones passing as pets wouldn't be able to talk to you in public."

Yang: "I think that's something we can work with," thinking it would be cool to have Biyomon on her shoulder while she walked around.

"So it's decided!" Ruby suddenly said. "Our next objective is to find a way back to Remnant AND bring our partners with us no matter what!" she said. "Any objections?"

Students: "Nope!"

No objections were raised at all.

However, the cheerful mood was cut short, when the Digimon all suddenly tensed. "Is something wrong?" Ren asked, not liking how they were behaving.

Ruby pouted. "Aww...why can't these good moods stay forever?"

Hedge sighed: "Fate can be a jerk sometimes." He really hoped his and Swift's intervention and assistance could help them with future events.

"Something's coming!" Wormmon said, and as if on cue, a massive spout of water suddenly erupted from the sand, before moving and soon launched the telephone boxes into the air, to which they soon crashed back to the ground.

"The hell is that?!" Gyro shouted as everyone quickly got up and ready to move in case things got too dangerous.

"Language!" A few chuckled at how quickly Ruby's mood changed.

"I don't know, but it can't be anything good." Pyrrha said, regretting the fact they'd all lost their weapons now.

They soon got their answer when a large amount of sand was kicked up, and from the ground, at first glance what looked like a giant drill emerged, before that something was revealed to be a MASSIVE cone shaped shell.

"What IS that?" Weiss said in confusion.

"It's Shellmon! We must have gotten on his territory without realising it!" Tentomon said in a slightly panicked tone, as in front of them, something emerged from the shell. It was a pink saurian-like head with what looked like a weird light green mass of tentacles that almost looked like hair on its head, before a pair of large oddly shaped arms emerged from the shell as well, fully revealing the full creature as some kind of bizarre mollusk with how those large limbs somehow fit.

Yang: "Come on! We can't even eat in peace?!" Her eyes red.

Qrow: "Digital World says no."

Digimon Analyzer: Shellmon

Shellmon. Data Type. An Adult Level Mollusk Digimon. Although it has a turtle like appearance when settled into its shell, for all intents and purposes, it has a soft mollusk like body. It is known for being a rather dimwitted Digimon, though approach it with caution nonetheless. It's special attack is Hydro Pressure, shooting high pressure beam of water from the top of it's head.

"Well, I think that's our cue to run." Gyro said as he started taking a step back.

And then Shellmon shot a high pressure beam of water at the cliff behind them, and they all turned and saw how it gouged a trench in it, before turning back to Shellmon.

Jaune gulped. "All in favor of not turning your back to him?"

Everyone: "Aye."

"Nevermind, looks like if we try he's going to hit us in the back with that." he said with a scowl. "Why do I feel like this is going to be a habit? Having to fight big guys like this, I mean."

"Probably cause just about every large Digimon so far has tried to kill us?" Jaune offered.

Ruby: "If I had a lien for every time a big Digimon attacked us, I'd have two lien. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice."

Hedge snorted. "Of course they have that meme phrase in Remnant. Why am I not surprised?"

"Yeah, that sounds about right. Guys, if you'd please?" Gyro said with a sigh.

"Right, we'll handle him." Agumon said with a nod as he and the other Digimon got in front of the hunters.

Much like with Kuwagamon, the Digimon began their assault, working together, timing their attacks well in a way that would make many hunter teams proud. Unlike Kuwagamon though, Shellmon proved to be a more...difficult opponent due to his namesake.

Yang: "I don't even think I could do damage to that shell even if I was powered up. Those spikes would also be annoying to get around."

"None of our attacks are working!" Wormmon reported as Shellmon easily broke free from his Sticky Net, before retreating into the shell to hide from a barrage of Magical Fire, Petit Fire, and Petit Thunder.

"Tell me about it…" Veemon groaned, holding his head. Suffice to say, he learned that headbutting something with a hard shell...not very smart.

Ironwood: "I mean he can go for a headbutt, but it would be preferable if he went for the part of Shellmon that wasn't his namesake."

Winter: "Unfortunately, he can could just retreat into his shell to negate any damage."

Glynda: "He may look like a snail, but he acts more like a turtle. I can't exactly fault him for a strategy like that."

"Puppy Howling!" Salamon called out as the attack hit, but Shellmon soon emerged not looking the least bit affected. "We need a new plan!" she said urgently.

Gyro looked around as the Digimon were starting to get in trouble, trying to find something that could give them an advantage, before seeing the wreckage of the payphones.

He waited until he wasn't in Shellmon's line of sight, and then used his semblance to dash along the sand towards the pile of broken frames, grabbing a broken off pole and then splitting it in half on his knee, grinning as he spun the two pieces in his hands.

Ruby got excited. "Well, it's not a real weapon like Ascalon, but he could sure use those poles just like it."

When the others saw him grab the pole and breaking it in half, they understood his idea, with Pyrrha deciding to make liberal use of her semblance for once as her arms gained a bright black glow to them, the same happening to the wreckage as Gyro dashed out of the way of what was about to happen, before she swung her arms, sending it all flying straight at Shellmon and impacting his shell, at the very least, it seemed to have done something, as he turned towards where the attack had come from.

"Woah! What was that?" Ruby said in awe.

"My semblance, it's Polarity, meaning I can control metals." Pyrrha supplied with a smile, before turning to the Digimon. "We're not going to be sitting on the sidelines this time. You helped us, so we help you," she said, before grabbing a large chunk of metal, and managing to catch Shellmon on the side of the head, though all that seemed to do was enrage it.

Pyrrha sweatdropped. "Maybe not one of my best ideas."

Ozpin: "But you did manage to damage him, Miss Nikos." he praised. "And any damage done at this moment is a great start."

"But Pyrrha…"Gabumon started, though whatever he was about to say was cut off when a red blur shot past them, Ruby using her semblance to start zipping around Shellmon, disorienting him.

At the same time, Yang turned to Nora. "Nora, give me your best shot," Yang said.

"Uh, sorry?" Nora blinked.

"Let's just say the harder you hit me, the better for my semblance," she explained.

Ruby: "Ooh ooh, what if someone electrocuted Nora, then she struck Yang?!"

Jaune: "Then we'd have two amped up fighters to take down any opponent."

The two team leaders shared a knowing look, and then nodded. They planned on constructing team attacks that worked both of their teams together.

"Ooooh. Got it," Nora grinned, before winding up, and punching Yang with enough force to send her flying a little into the fight...before she made use of the momentum and rolled under the now dizzy Shellmon, her hair seemingly on fire and her eyes glowing red. "Hungry? Well here's a knuckle sandwich!" Yang said, before delivering a savage uppercut to Shellmon's chin, causing it to stumble back, though its squishy body cushioned the blow a little.

"Let's keep at it guys! But don't be afraid to fall back if you're not sure!" Gyro called as he jumped up and striked the highest points of Shellmon's shell, trying to see if it had any weaknesses up high.

Apparently, the tip WAS weak, as when he hit it on this one trip upwards, Shellmon let out a roar, surprising everyone, before… launching one of his tentacles at Gyro, grabbing him while he was in the air.

Ruby gasped. "Let him go!"

Yang wanted to tease her sister, as she did remember that the Vermilion twins had crushes on two of them, and it was obvious that Pierce had a crush on her. She put two and two together that Gyro had a crush on Ruby. But with him being in danger now, she decided to hold back.

"What the? Let me go dammit!" He growled as he tried to struggle free.

"Gyro!" Agumon shouted in worry as he started opening fire on Shellmon's head "Baby Flame!"

"Dammit! Come on work this time." Pierce muttered as he tried to help his brother, picking up some of the wreckage Pyrrha kept swinging around and threw it at the tentacle grabbing his brother… and it missed by just an inch "Oh come on!"

Qrow: "Tch, I know that feeling. Glad I don't have to deal with that anymore."

Winter: "Now it'll just be your incompetence that causes you to miss," she jabbed.

The rest of the Ozluminati chuckled at that.

Meanwhile, Shellmon was starting to get annoyed by all the fire in his face, and slammed his hand down on Agumon, pinning him down.

"Agumon!" Gyro shouted in worry for his friend… and that's when Shellmon decided to squeeze, bringing a scream of pain from his mouth. His aura was keeping the worst of it at bay, but at the rate things were going, it would only be a matter of time before his aura broke...and likely more too.

Ruby: "No need for that mental image!"

"Gyro!" Agumon just couldn't take it anymore, his friend was in grave danger, and if he didn't do anything…!

(Play Brave Heart)

Everyone perked up at the music that came through the screen.

Jaune: "Woah, what's this?"

Nora: "Something awesome's about to happen!"

Yang: "Awesome guitar rift too!"

At that moment, Gyro's Digivice began to shine, as it seemingly sent what could best be described as some kind of signal into the sky, summoning forth a light which soon released a burst of data like a waterfall.

"Agumon, Evolution!" Agumon started as the data entered his body, before it changed. "Greymon!" His form was now that of a massive dinosaur, the same one that he'd taken when fighting the Parrotmon from a decade ago.

Glynda: "He's the same form as he was all those years ago."

Ozpin: "And his name is Greymon in this form."

Blake: "A strong name for a form like that."

Back in the fight, Shellmon was subjected to the simple physics of something suddenly growing big while they were under him, as he was thrown off of the Digimon he had been pinning, while letting go of Gyro in surprise, the young man hitting the ground with a groan as his aura broke from the strain, but he was okay. Looking up, his eyes widened when he recognized the form Agumon had taken.

Ironwood: "It would be wise for Gyro to stay out of the fight now. He won't be able to do much now that his aura is broken."

Ren: "I don't think he's worried or upset about that."

Digimon Analyzer: Greymon

Greymon. Vaccine Type. An Adult Level Dinosaur Digimon. It's cranial skin has hardened to the point of rivalling the toughest of shells, and it excells as a Combat Species Digimon. His special attack is Mega Flame, it fires the strongest possible fire ball from it's mouth.

Weiss took note of the stage name of the form. "'Adult Level,' huh? So that's the actual name of this form of evolution."

Pyrrha: "Wonder just how many forms they have access to."

He couldn't help but grin as he saw him, replaying the name he heard him announce in his head "Hope you have more control on that fire this time Greymon." he said as he stood up.

In response, Greymon smirked "A LOT more control."

Yang: "Put it to good use then, Greymon!" She also enjoyed the song that was playing.

"Then kick his ass!" Gyro said with a wide smirk.

Ruby: "I'll allow the swear this time."

Greymon didn't need anymore prompting, as he charged forward, Shellmon just barely recovering before he found a trio of sharp horns shoved into his face as Greymon's head armor impacted against his softer body, knocking him back. Glaring angrily, he fired his Hydro Pressure at Greymon, pushing him back a little, before Greymon managed to regain his footing and started to push back. Once he was close enough, Greymon grabbed hold of Shellmon and in an impressive display of power, proceeded to lift the large mon up, and slam him into the ground, before doing it again, then throwing him aside, causing him to fall near the water.

Glynda: "He's on equal footing as Shellmon now."

Nora: "Equal footing? I'd say he's stomping all over Shellmon now!"

Struggling to his 'feet', Shellmon tried to counter with another Hydro Pressure, but this time Greymon countered with a stream of fire from his mouth, causing the water to evaporate while he stepped closer little by little. Shellmon tried as best as he could, but eventually he just couldn't keep up the pressure, and when his attack ended, he soon found Greymon's horns under him, before the dinosaur lifted his head quickly, flinging Shellmon into the air.

"Mega Flame!" Greymon declared as he charged up and fired a massive ball of fire from his mouth, the attack flying true and hitting Shellmon dead in the underbelly, causing the mon to roar in pain as he was soon launched FAR into the ocean, and was well out of sight.

(End Song)

Yang and Nora raised a fist in the air. "And he's outta here!" they exclaimed.

With the battle, and thus the danger, subsided, Greymon reverted back to Agumon, the yellow dinosaur being confused a bit, before hearing his stomach grumble, making him laugh sheepishly and turn to Gyro "Is the fire still going? I'm kind of hungry again."

Weiss: "So everytime they evolve, it takes a lot of energy."

Ren: "Hopefully we don't get into a lot of back to back fights."

Hedge: "It's not just that, Agumon is a well known glutton. Even if he just recently ate, he'll be hungry not much longer after."

Jaune: "Huh, doesn't that remind me of someone," as he and the rest of his friends glance over at Nora.

Gyro looked at him for a moment, before smiling in amusement as the two walked back towards the others.

When they returned to the group, those born on Remnant all had faces of shock as they stared at Agumon, but Gyro was also sure he saw recognition.

Winter: "Right, all of you saw Greymon fight Parrotmon before. No doubt you all recognize him."

"Um… guys? Everything ok?" he asked, a bit worried since they kept staring at Agumon with jaws hanging, the yellow dinosaur just being confused.

"Did I scare them?" he asked Gyro in worry.

"I don't think that's it." Gyro told him, though he was also starting to get confused.

Finally, someone, namely Ruby, decided to speak "That… that was the thing we saw… back when we were kids."

Gyro looked at her, even more confused "Hold on, what?"

"I know what she's talking about, because it happened at my home as well." Weiss said, getting both his and Pierce's attention "About 11 years ago, in the early hours of the morning, TV screens, scrolls, computers, anything that showed images, started showing a battle between a large orange dinosaur and a huge green bird. The news never addressed it the following day, and no one was ever able to find out where exactly it had taken place, because all people had to go on was a bridge being broken."

Ironwood: "A bridge that wasn't even on Remnant. And a village or town would have reported there being a fight between a big dinosaur and a big parrot."

Qrow: "No doubt a response from you and the military jumping on the scene to see what had happened."

Ironwood winced. "I won't deny that," knowing just how impactful his old semblance was.

The two brothers were speechless at all that, to hear that people from Remnant had witnessed a battle from Earth was… shocking "All of you guys saw it?" Pierce asked for clarification, receiving 8 nods.

"Why didn't you see it though?" Blake asked, looking between them.

"Because we were right in the middle of it." Gyro said, drawing all eyes to him "Agumon had evolved into Greymon back then to protect us, he had been getting kicked around after that, and then a whistle literally fell on my head, and I was able to wake up Greymon with it, after that, he opened fire and just… disappeared."

"Wait! That was my whistle!" Ruby suddenly said, Gyro looking at her with wide eyes, before reaching into his shirt and pulling out the whistle hanging from a chain.

"Wait, so somehow Ruby's whistle travelled across the globe or something?" Jaune said, confused, while the brothers were hoping they would be able to work their way out of this sudden predicament without looking suspicious.

Jaune: "Actually, more like across two different worlds, you dunce." Of course, he could act like this towards his alternate self since he saw it happen on screen.

Pyrrha: "How did something like that even happen?"

Hedge: "My best assumption? Interference from the Digital World."

"What I want to know is where this took place." Weiss asked, looking at Gyro, and he was quickly trying to figure out what to say, which was difficult, his pause couldn't be too long and he had to figure out an answer and FAST.

Blake: "I wonder how our others will react."

Yang: "Hopefully not too bad. We're already in a different world to begin with. Finding out there is another world besides the Digital World shouldn't be too brain wracking."

He was pausing for too long, the others were starting to get worried, even Pierce didn't know what to say, before Gyro sighed "Dammit. I guess at the very least you're going to be open to believing me considering where we are."

They looked at him confused before he motioned for everyone to sit down, Pierce sighing as he saw where this was going, and understood there was nothing they could do to avoid it.

Qrow: "Here we go."

"First, we're all very acceptant at this point that other worlds are possible considering where we are, yes?" Gyro asked around, earning a few slow nods, but he also saw some eyes widening in understanding of why he was asking that, most notably Weiss, Blake and Ren.

Weiss: "At least a few of us are able to determine where this conversation is going."

Yang: "Not sure what that says about those of us that didn't figure it out yet."

Weiss: "You're smart in your own right, Yang," giving her teammate a comforting smile.

"The simplest way to put it, is that me, Pierce, and Azure, are also from another world, one different from Remnant. We have higher tech than you do, so we were able to find a way to jump into your world. Honestly we wanted to blend in, and we were able to do that because, hey, we're also human, just from another world. But then this happens and, well, yeah." Gyro said, trying to avoid mentioning the really sensitive subjects.

Everyone was surprised, that much was obvious, as they all took time to digest his words, at the very least though, Agumon and Veemon were still sitting with him and his brother, giving them their silent support.

It took a few minutes before someone finally spoke up, Ren "Why did you come to Remnant though?"

"We found the world 6 years ago, and saw how bad things were, and eventually came up with a way to travel worlds, because we wanted to see if we could do anything to help, we thought maybe some advanced tech or something along those lines would do the trick." Gyro explained, being able to say the truth, while also not revealing everything, because that was an entire matter in and off itself.

Ren: "Understatement of the century. They know how our future will turn out."

Glynda: "And according to Hedge, that's only half of our future."

Needless to say, everyone from Remnant was speechless at that revelation.

"That's…" Weiss started. She WANTED to say 'impossible'...but after today, her world view was already shattered beyond repair. This really wasn't THAT unbelievable.

Weiss: "I've already come to terms with it, but I do wonder just how long it will take our others to fully come to terms."

"Crazy? Yeah, we know how crazy it sounds, but it's the truth," Pierce shrugged. "We came here to see if we could try and make Remnant a better place, though we sure weren't expecting to get swept up in this either."

"Still, I hope nothing crazy happens while we're gone." Gyro couldn't help but sigh out, Pierce understanding he meant that they had better get back as soon as possible.

Ozpin: "That goes back to my theory if the Digital World and Remnant are on the same time flow. If Remnant's flow is faster, then future events will play out without you ten there."

"So… basically, you came to Remnant to try and help the people there?" Jaune asked after some moments.

"Pretty much, yeah," Gyro nodded.

"Then, to me at least, it's fine, it doesn't matter that you're from another world, because in a sense, you're like all of us here, you want to help Remnant be a better place." Jaune said, smiling at the two brothers. The others soon joined in as well, though Weiss still seemed a little uncertain.

Ruby: "Yeah, all they want to do is help us and change how future events had turned out. They're A-okay in my book."

"I'll admit, I'm still a little...unsure about this," she sighed. "But you two haven't done anything hostile or anything, so I guess you're both okay."

The two of them blinked, before they smiled. "Thanks guys...it means a lot," Pierce grinned.

Gyro just sagged in relief, and everyone could almost swear it was like a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders "You don't know how good it is to hear that." he said, smiling.

Qrow: "They should have some confidence in you guys in terms of trustworthiness."

Pyrrha: "I think it's more so they were worried that we wouldn't trust them."

Nora: "They were worried that we would think they were crazy and have them thrown into the crazy house."

The others shared a smile before… "Well, enough with the heavy stuff," Yang said. "Come on guys, we still got a campfire and the Digimon are probably hungry after that, so let's celebrate another win," she said.

With that said, everyone agreed with a cheer, none more so than the Digimon who needed to replenish their energy after.

Their first day was finished in the Digital World.

Only time will tell what the rest would bring.

With that, the TV shut off.

Hedge: "I think that's good enough for tonight. Let's all have dinner and head off to bed."

Blake: "That was a good chapter. Our others learned part of the truth regarding the Vermilion brothers' origins."

Yang: "And we got to see Greymon again! Along with him beating the shell out of Shellmon."

Everyone groaned at the small pun.

Weiss: "Pun aside, it seems that until we find a way back to Remnant, we'll be there for quite some time in the Digital World."

Ruby: "Hopefully major events from the future don't happen while we're there."

Jaune: "Well, we were at the start of everything when we got sucked in, which was the start of the school year."

Pyrrha: "And we're basically at the middle of the second semester when we came here."

Nora: "Yeah, we still have a long period of time to reach current times."

Ren: "Assuming time flow is the same."

Ozpin: "For now, we'll keep watching. But right now..."

Glynda: "Dinner and bed."

Everyone started to head off to the dining area to eat dinner, the students leaving their Digieggs on there seats.

Hedge is the last one to head off to the dining area as he cleans the theater room. Once everything is tidied up, he catches something at the corner of his eye, and looks towards the Digieggs. Nothing is moving at the moment, but he gives a knowing smile toward them.

He walks off and dims the lights for now, leaving all 8 Digieggs in view, before one shakes a bit.

AN: Another chapter done!

This one was fun to write as we start to get into the partner Digimon unlocking their Adult Level forms.

A little extra note back to the presents for clarification. Yang's Bumblebee part that allows her to transmat her bike to her is taken from the video game(s) Destiny (2). Rather than give her her own Ghost to transmat it for her, I decided to give her a part to install it on Bumblebee and use the new app on her scroll to port it to her position no matter where she was. It also is able to respawn good as new if it was ever to be destroyed as well.

For Ironwood, his new semblance now has a name. I do appreciate the name Guardian's Promise by reviewer Guestspirit, however, I do think that the name Crusader by reviewer CrimsonSylvan is appropriate. I may have played Overwatch a bit when the first game came out , but I actually never got into it. Funny that the explanation of Ironwood's new semblance resembles Reinhardt's shield ability.

Also, we have a bit of a teaser there at the end. Wonder what that's about?

Until next time folks. This is Shadow Drivver signing out for now. Peace.
