After receiving a message from Nokia, the group made their way to the EDEN Free Area. She wanted Sachiko to help out with a training session.
"I see. Since you now have WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, you wanna train up with them, and Sachiko too." Mahiru said.
"It's not just that. The point of this training is not just strength. It's also to deepen out bonds with our Digimon! Sort of like our hot spring ping-pong matches and all-night karaoke!" Nokia said. "If we can pull through those kinds of events, we should be able to achieve true power, beyond brute strength! And with that power, we can help the Digimon being misused by hackers in order to make EDEN a home for us all! And thus, we hereby call this the We Love Digimon Initiative!"
"Uh… sure, Nokia!" Hope said. "(Who plays ping pong in a hot spring?)" he thought to himself.
It was then that the group saw Yuugo watching them.
"Yuugo?" Ace asked.
"You interested in training too, or are you here to watch?" Kendo asked.
"So this is your dream? It seems like you've assembled quite the team as well." Yuugo said. "At ease. I am not here to fight."
"Yuugo, you're a hacker group leader. Hackers will listen to you! Tell them that Digimon aren't just a bunch of programs!" Nokia said.
"Nokia has a point. You're probably the most esteemed leader amongst hackers." Hope said.
"There's something else I need to tell the hackers. Your speech was inspiring, though." Yuugo said. "That's why...I prefer not to fight you if it can be helped."
"What do you mean by that?" Zero asked putting a hand near his saber.
"All I will say, is that you shouldn't interfere with me… With Zaxon." Yuugo said as he left.
"Damn it… What the hell was that about?!" Saki asked.
That night, Yuugo made an announcement all over EDEN to rally hackers into helping him raid the Valhalla server: Under Zero. The next morning, the group met with Arata at the K-Cafe.
"So, what did you think of that announcement last night?" Hope said. "Looks like Yuugo's taking his own side."
"It sounds suspicious." Ace said. "I mean… Why make an announcement like that to rally all of the active hackers?"
"He mentioned something about returning EDEN to the creator's vision of it. That might have something to do with it." David said.
"Looks like the gang's all here!" Nokia said as she walked in. "Did you hear? Zaxon is going to invade Under Zero!"
"How could we not? It's all the community seems to talk about right now." Sachiko said.
"Under Zero is said to be a hacker holy land. Though, it probably doesn't matter much to someone like Arata." Nokia said.
"Holy land? Don't be ridiculous. It's just an old, out modded area on an old, out modded server." Arata said.
"They did mention taking it back, though. No way anyone can miss that." Scott said.
"Especially since some of the Rebels wanted to show off the results of their special training." Nokia said. "So, what do you guys think? You in?"
"I'm in. Let's do it!" Hope said. "You guys ready for a raid?"
"Alright… But we better stay on our toes. Something's not right about this…" Ace said.
"I think I'll pass." David said.
"Suit yourself. You have no idea what you're missing out on." Nokia said.
"You're worried about Arata, aren't you David?" Hope asked.
"Yes. For some reason, he always seems to brush off the topic whenever it comes up." David said.
"I think it's best if we split up and go with Nokia and Arata again. Ace and I will head with Nokia to go to Under Zero." Hope said.
"Sounds like a plan." David said as the Brave Adventurers stay with Arata.
"I don't understand why they're so eager to help her. It's not a place where newbies can just walk around. They have no idea what they're getting themselves into." Arata said. "Aw, screw it! We're going too!"
"Wha-?! A-Arata?! What's this all of a sudden?" Sachiko asked.
"Under Zero is way too dangerous. If things go the way they did last time…" Arata started. "Never mind. I'll explain on the way. But first, some prep work. Let's head to EDEN."
The Brave Adventurers meet up with Arata.
"As usual, Nokia and that Hope guy move on impulse alone. It looks like she's gone a bit far, though." Arata said. "The other hackers have gotten into the Valhalla server and are headed for Under Zero. Something seems off, though… The Valhalla server shouldn't have gone down this fast."
"So you're saying it might be a trap?" Kaede asked.
"Maybe. Either Yuugo invited us, or someone else did. We won't be able to catch up to Nokia taking the direct route. Luckily, there's a shortcut." Arata said.
"Arata, there's something we want to ask you." David said.
"What's that?" Arata asked.
"You seem to know a lot about the Valhalla server, and you always seem to brush the topic off when we get to it." David said. "Did something happen down there?"
"Yeah… We took down Valhalla once before." Arata said. "I'll explain on the way, let's hurry and get to the server!"
After a while of traversing, the group finally made it to Under Zero, where they see hackers already working on taking down security.
"Wow, there are so many here already." Teepo commented.
"I see Yuugo and Fei." Sectonia said as they got closer.
"Looks like we got a few rats scurrying around here. I didn't expect to see you here, Arata, former leader of the Judes." Fei said.
"Former leader? Arata, does that mean…" Sachiko started.
"That's right. We tried to raid Under Zero before, but...we failed." Arata said. "After that, the group disbanded. But, it wasn't the security that did us in. Right after we broke through, something attacked us. Before we knew it, we had our accounts destroyed, and we lost access to EDEN. That was another level altogether. Some of my buddies, they went crazy with fear. The guys that were lucid, they lost confidence in themselves and stopped being hackers. So, I disbanded the team. I came to warn you. Keep away from Under Zero if you don't want to see your friends get hurt."
"What proof do you have that this story is true?" Yuugo asked. "You all coming here out of concern for our well-being lacks a little in the convincing department."
"The truth is, I wanted to stop Nokia. But I couldn't just sit by and watch it prey on you guys. It wouldn't seem right." Arata said.
"Even if what you say is true, I have my reasons for not being able to stop now." Yuugo said. "Even knowing the risks, there's something I must obtain…" he said as hackers gathered behind him.
"Ha! You thought all these people behind me are the calvary? No… Here's the real calvary!" Arata said as a few figures were behind him.
"Are those...the Judes?" Francisca asked.
"That's right. It wouldn't feel right to leave them out. So, I brought the band back together for one last hurrah!" Arata said.
"Arata, you are a genius."
"Is that suppose to intimidate us? Because it doesn't matter!" Fei said. "We'll crush your legendary team of has-been hackers! We're the top dogs here, not you!"
"Hold it right there!" a familiar voice shouted.
(Cue- Sonic Appears (Extended Mix)-Sonic 06)
"For the sake of people, and Digimon… We of the Rebels shall form a bridge of hope to bring the two together as one!" Nokia said as she, the Rebels, Hope Squad and Spirit Force arrived.
"It's the Rebels!" One of the hackers called.
"They got here faster than expected. Quite impressive." David said. "Sachiko…"
"I don't really mind. It was going to happen sooner or later. To find out the truth behind this whole situation, I'm willing to accept any circumstance I find myself in." Sachiko said.
"Heh. You've got guts, girl. I'll give you that!" one of the hackers said.
"What now?" Al asked.
"Looks like this is gonna turn into an all out war." Hope said. "Worst comes to worst, we may end up fighting each other."
"Let's hope it doesn't come to that. For now, target the Zaxon hackers, and not David or the Judes." Ichiro said.
"Got it. Ryu, Muveil, provide backup for Sachiko." Ace said.
"I don't think there's any need for that. She's pretty strong on her own." Muveil said.
As things got underway, Sachiko and Arata face off with Yuugo.
"Yuugo… We both knew that it would come to this eventually." Sachiko said. "I don't know what you have planned, but… Whatever it is, I will stop you." she said as she brought out Rapidmon, Pegasusmon and Nefertimon.
"I knew it would come to this a long time ago. Your path as a hacker led you to face me." Yuugo said. "Let your final test begin." he said bringing out Machinedramon.
"That Digimon...It's a Mega Level!" Mari said.
"And Sachiko has an Ultimate and two Armor Digimon. This could go either way." Yoko said.
"This won't be an easy fight." Ace said.
"It won't be for y'all neither." Fei said approaching.
"Get out of our way!" Al said.
"Al, stand back! This is my fight!" Nokia said.
"You? Hah! You couldn't even land a hit on my TigerVespamon last time. What makes you think you can beat me now?" Fei asked.
"Because this time, my friends are even stronger." Nokia smirked as WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon appeared.
"So, your partners Digivolved?" Rei asked summoning TigerVespamon. "Don't matter one bit, I'm still gonna wipe the floor with ya!" she said summoning two more Mega Digimon, Hououmon and a form Taomon knew all too well.
"Hey wait a second… that's Sakuyamon! She's using Rena's mega form!" Gemini said.
"Grr… Teach her a lesson, Nokia!" Taomon said.
"I sure will!" Nokia said.
"Oh please… wipe em all out!" Fei called.
"Starlight Explosion!" Hououmon siad firing a barrage of light shots.
"Huh? That's the name of one of the spells I use with Aura." Linde said.
"It's also the name of one of Hououmon's attacks. There are two meanings to every name."
"Mach Stinger Victory!" Tigervespamon said charging as Hououmon fired.
"Spirit Strike!" Sakuyamon called following suit. All three attacks hit the two Megas.
"Heh, how's that? No way your so called friends could've survived THAT." Fei said.
Through the smoke however, two pairs of eyes glowed, one pair was orange, the other blue. Then, two arms resembling WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon cleared the smoke, as they were attached to a white metallic body with claw like feet and a cape flowing behind him.
"Hah!" the figure said flipping its MetalGarurumon arm back. "Omnimon!"
"Wh...No way!" Fei said in shock.
"That's…" Harpuia started.
"Omnimon of the Royal Knights." Arnice said.
"David, Sachiko, you seeing this?" Hope asked.
"How can we not?" David asked.
Fei stared at the legendary Digimon before scoffing. "Get him!" she ordered.
(Cue-Time Judged All: Kamen Rider OOO OST)
All three Mega Digimon charged the legendary Digimon as they combated the Royal Knight.
Omnimon fought back without even breaking a sweat, punching away at the three Megas.
"Flaming Wings!" Hououmon called attacking with fiery wings.
Omnimon was able to take the attack and draw one of his trusty weapons, the Grey Sword. He slashed Hououmon away then deflected an attack from TigerVespamon and his swords, clashing in an epic sword duel.
"Transcendent Sword!" Omnimon called setting his sword on fire, and then charged at TigerVespamon, breaking his defense and slicing him across the chest, coding him.
"He's amazing…!" Gemini said in awe.
"Holy crap, she won?!" David asked.
"H-How… I lost, to her?" Fei asked.
Soon Sachiko was able to defeat Yuugo. Before things could escalate, however…
"We've got Humanoid and Purebreed Eaters approaching!" Mari said.
"What? Eaters, all the way down here?!" Sachiko asked.
"They're swarming in from all over the place!" Hagakure called as she saw multiples of the two species flooding in.
"New plan, take down the Eaters!" Sachiko said.
"Alright then, it's now or never. Lowemon!" Emil called summoning the warrior of Darkness.
"Finally, it's my turn." Lowemon said..
"Let's take em down!" Hope said as the groups engaged the Eaters.
"Shadow Lance!" Lowemon called as he blasted one of the Eaters with a powerful spear attack.
"Keep the pressure on em!" Gemini said slashing through two Eaters.
"Sinestro, Dextro Costus!" Shanoa called as she used two of the heads of Cerberus to attack.
"Fire in the hole!" Mari called as she tossed a Flash grenade at a group of Eaters, temporarily blinding them. "Now, Vera!"
"Got it!" Vera said as she did a backflip and fired a rain of elemental arrows at the Eaters.
Emiya held his hand out as he launched six swords at another group of Eaters before firing an arrow from his bow at one behind David.
"There's just no end to them." Ace said.
"What do we do?" Hope asked.
Mari looked around before she spotted two holes in the distance. "If we can seal those up, the Eaters should stop coming through."
"That won't work. Eaters are attracted to Digital Waves, right? That means we have to cut them off at the source." Vera said.
"There's no doubt that this is Kishibe's doing." David said. "Hmm… Let's see… If I was Rie Kishibe, where would I set up that Digital Wave?"
"She'd have to place it in somewhere no one would expect…" Hope said looking around.
"The Roppongi Underground Center!" David said.
"Yeah, that sounds like Kishibe alright. Let's go!" Hope said.
