Hello Grandma (Mission)

Ztyka and Tifa smiled as they listened. It was a shame she lost power but they could tell she was a feisty old soul. Since her grand kids wrote to her often they could tell she was loved.

"Not quite yet. Tifa has yet to evolve and I can boast a strong will though maybe not a strong body. In the end that's what matters though. For a unbroken will leads to victory even in failure," Ztyka said. And it was true she could fight and knew how to use her size and speed to her advantage but it was her will that has kept her alive.

Mary nodded, "My dears with that mind set you'll be able to accomplish anything you set your minds to! I have never been a partner digimon, but I suppose it's very similar to falling in love with your significant other. The two of you will draw strength from each other and that will make you soar above the clouds! If I live long enough I can tell I'll be seeing a headline in the future that announces you two as head of your organization! I'm positive your future will have great things in store!" Mary had finished her food and drink and leaned back listening to the crackle of the embers in her small fire. "Talking with you all this time, has yearned my spirit for adventure. How troublesome. Ho ho ho ho. Perhaps maybe I'll go on one final journey." Mary said staring into the flame. "I'd like to visit my home town again, Xuan Wu. I have not been there in over fifty years...if I could see it's beauty one last time. I could die happily." She said. "I suppose once an adventurer always an adventurer. Ho ho ho ho."

Ztyka nodded in agreement. Though she wasn't sure they would make headlines or become leaders however. She did know they would experience a lot of good things however.

"You know we sceduled to spend this entire day with you. We could escort you to Xuan Wu with the teleportation we could be there in no time," Ztyka suggested smiling. If they could help her go on at least a small adventure and make her happy then she could be happy as well.

Mary smiled at Zytka's offer but shook her head, "I appreciate the thought but, the main reason I adventure is to see the sights and live through nature. If I am to travel to Xuan Wu, it will be by foot. Perhaps when I'm ready, I'll request you to escort me. It will be long term as it would take several months to reach it on foot so I'd need to save up quite a bit of units to pay for the expenses." Mary said leaping off of her chair. "It would be my final trip, it would be one way." Mary walked off towards a corner of the room that had a small white pillow presumably her bed. She took a bag out from underneath and opened it up and began searching for something, "I know it's getting late and you'll need to leave soon, but I want to give you a present to remember me by should I not see you after today." Mary said.

She pulled out a small chip, it looked like something that W.A.D.A. used in their gauntlets. "Teddy sends me all kinds of trinkets. He recently sent me this one...I didn't know what it did but he said it was a piece of merchandise from W.A.D.A., I figured this would be something you could use dears." She walked back over to Zytka and took her hand into her own paw and placed the chip in her hand. Upon further inspection, the chip was rusted from the cold and would need to be repaired and fine tuned before it were operational again. "I want you two to know, this has been the happiest day of my old age." She said smiling.

Ztyka accepted the gift hesitantly. It felt odd accepting a give when in some way they were doing a job. It didn't feel like one though. However if it made this old digimon happy she would accept it with a smile.

"Thank you Mary. If you ever want us to come out again even if it is for small talk we are more than willing to do so. I'll make sure to set aside time," Ztyka said smiling.

"Yeah and we can have more cocoa," Tifa said her tail wagging. Ztyka chuckled at his overly enthusiastic digimon.

Mary nodded, "Thank you Zytka...Tifa. I truly appreciate it." Mary went over to the kitchen and reached into another compartment in the ice. "Before you go, since you enjoyed the cocoa so much. I'll give you a bag to make for yourselves. It's my own special blend, so you can't get it anywhere." Mary walked over with a big bag of cocoa powder. It didn't have any fancy labeling, it had tape with the word's Mary's Special Cocoa Blend written on it. "This way, when you drink this I'll be on your mind. It may even refresh you!" Mary said handing the bag to Tifa. "You two are welcome here anytime you want."

Zytka received Rusted Chip; take it to the Chip Shop back on the Tartarus to receive a chip for your D.I.G.
Zytka received Mary's Special Cocoa; feed it to your Digimon to revitalize their will! Has a use of 5; Less effective at higher forms.

"I'm sure it will," Ztyka said accepting the cocoa. Tifa looked a lot happier than her about it though. That tail was a whirlwind of happiness.

"Thank you grandma," Tifa said giving her a big hug.

Ztyka chuckled at her digimon. She too was thankful to have met her. It felt good knowing digimon and humans were so much alike.

"Well come on Tifa. We want to get home before dark," Ztyka said and gave a wave as they walked out.

"Bye bye," Tifa said trotting after her partner. She ran the moment she got outside. Circling her partner as she walked.

"Can I have some please," Tifa begged.

"You had enough for today. Let's keep it as a special treat okay," Ztyka said hiding the cocoa and chip in her jacket.

"Aww," Tifa said in disappointment.

"Too much sugar rots your teeth out," Ztyka warned.

"Ehh," Tifa said doubtfully nothing that good could be that harmful She paused giving her trainer a strange look as she walked away. She ran to catch back up just as fast however.
