((Collab Post between Letter Bee and NightKnight)) While Osamu and Naoki were doing their own negotiations, one Taichi Yagami, along with his Digimon, Augmon, as well as the Legendary Pokemon Ho-Oh, Entei, Moltres, Groudon, and Heatran, emerged from a portal leading to Doomborg's palace courtyard, with Taichi, dressed in a diplomat's outfit, waving a white flag. "Hello?!" he questioned. "My name is Taichi Yagami from one of the Multiple Earths in the Multiverse! I want to talk to umm...the master of this place! We have something to offer!" Doomborg heard the commotion outside from atop the tower where he goes to knit blankets for the damned. He looked out the window saw a list of unusual creautures in his courtyard, one of which was bird lit with flames, but then he saw a formally dressed young man raising a white flag. If not for said invidividual, he would have assumed it was some sort of invasion. He noticed his Palace Guards circling on the guests. "Halt!" He shouted from the tower. And with his command the guards stayed their weapons. "Stay where you are!" He said to the visitors. "I shall meet you in the courtyard in just a minute!" Doomburg than created a platform made of ice and desended to the courtyard below. He parked within feet of the man holding the flag. He was curious has to why the visitors were tresspasing on his ice garden grounds instead of taking the entrance, but was willing to forgive this so not to seem rude. Holding Nibelheim in his hands in a non-threatening way into the ground, he spoke. "Salutations travellers! What brings you to my realm?" "Ah," Taichi remembered his diplomatic training*, "we are a delegation of ambassadors, sent here by Osamu Akiyama of a group called the Mon Alliance, who in turn follows orders from Naoki Kashima and an entity called Aradia, in order to sound out possible allies for a coming conflict, and are authorized to offer what we have heard was one of the most desperately needed commodities in this region, [i]warmth[/i]." The compassion in Taichi's voice for the doomed souls here was evident. ((*Which was also in the first minutes of Digimon Adventure Tri as well as the damned 02 Epilogue.)) Doomborg thought in his head "Warmth? That could seriously improve the living conditions of the souls!" Doomborg was intrigued to say the least of this offer and wanted to hear more. "Ambassadors! Welcome to my palace!" He said has he a offered a short bow. "Come! We have much to discuss inside! I will bring you to the least coldest place in my palace and offer you the finest frozen treats!" He motioned the group to enter the palace. Taichi gave a small bow, and so did Ho-Oh and the others, who followed Taichi awkwardly -awkwardly because some of them were avians - into the palace, being careful not to melt anything. Once they finished their trip, Taichi, no longer a boy despite his handsome looks, would then say: "Thank you for admitting us to your residence, Lord Doomborg. Your hospitality is much appreciated." "Well, I think you for visiting! It has been eons since I have had any sort of company from the outside!" Doomborg responded. He offered a king sized wool chair to the man. "Now." He said as he sat in a the frozen throne. "I heard that you want to offer my people warmth. If so, how would you provide this resource?" Taichi sat on the cold woolen chair, hiding his discomfort, then said: "That, is where my companions come in. You see, the Mon Alliance is composed of Humans and three or four classes of 'Monster'; Digimon, Pokemon, and Demons, of which Personas are a virtually identical group of beings. Many of these 'Monsters'," Taichi used the word neutrally, without any negative judgement, "are capable of breathing fire, emitting fire, or otherwise creating or manipulating fire. Others are able to stimulate Sunlight or even plant growth. So, basically, we just send you several thousand Pokemon, Digimon, and Demons, who will then provide warmth, light, and even plants in strategic places around Pluto." "In exchange, well," spoke Taichi, "we want the help of you and your legions." "Mmmm." Doomborg thought to himself. This seemed like a no brainer, warmth and organic food to his people, plus the possible protection from the fire creatures, all in exchange for what might be a human's lifetime worth of fighting at the most? It sounded like a done deal! I only thing he was on the fence about was leaving the dead alone and dying, leaving Pluto without a ruler, but the rewards were well worth the risks. "I like this deal." Doomburg said in amusement. "However, I have a few questions and requests to ask before we can make this deal a reality. First, who will I be fighting? Second, I want periods of time where I can return to my people. Third, I also want the fire beings to protect my people in case of an attack. Fourth, I want to fight as an equal, not a subordinate, and finally, I want a declaration from the Mon Alliance that will provide military aid for Pluto when I ask of it. If you can agree to all of these term, you may have your Alliance." "The current enemy of the Mon Alliance is the Reign of Chaos, a group that wishes to take over all worlds and tyrannize them. These include beings of immense power, such as a Demon called [i]Lucifer[/i] who is an immensely powerful and crafty person. As for periods of time where you can return to your own people, you can come back to Pluto at any time in exchange for giving us a regiment of Ice Golems, as well as the services of craftsmen who died from disease, whenever you wish to go. As for equal Rank, you can have the rank of General; same rank as [i]I[/i] nominally have. And finally, we will commit ourselves to giving you military aid." Doomborg has heard only rumors of the RoC, but knew that they were a very dangerous fo, however, with this Alliance in hand, he would be able to repel their invasions. "Very well, I have made my decision." Doomborg said. He then kneeled before the man with sword in hand. "I, Doomborg, so solemly swear, as the King of Pluto and and Lord of the Dead, shall wander through the valley of the shadow of death, and brandish my sword in your name. I shall enceforth, be your ally, and your friend." "Thank you," Taichi offered his hand. "Let this be a new era for your people then."
