Chapter 37: Hacker
After a bit of travelling, the group reached a large, steel door.
Buzz: Well, this is it. Hacker's control room.
Delete: Yeah, we were still hangin' around the boss's place when we heard where he was keeping Motherboard!
Group: Well, spill it out, will ya'?!
Buzz: He said that he was keeping her in a file on that computer!
Takuya: Well, how many files are there?
Delete: About a million.
Sonic: How very Jurassic Park.
Digit: Don't worry, we've got a way to track Motherboard!
Digit held out a Squak Pad.
Joey: Whoa…a doo-dad.
Digit: It's a Squak Pad! It has MANY functions and I've programmed this to track Motherboard's signal!
Cheetor: Uh…maybe I should handle this…
Takuya: Well, you're the techno geek.
Cheetor: Hey! Who're ya' calling a techno geek?!
Matt: There's no time for arguing! We've gotta get Motherboard out!
Takuya: Well, I can get us in!
Takuya turned into Agunimon and kicked the door open.
Agunimon: See? No need for a password!
Cheetor: Now to get Motherboard out!
After Cheetor got Motherboard out, they were cheering, soon to be interrupted by Hacker.
Takuya: Well, if it isn't Hacker.
Hacker: That's THE Hacker, to you!
Takuya: Whatever.
Hacker: And I never thought that you two dunce-buckets would turn on me, your boss!
Buzz: You ain't our boss anymore, boss. YOU fired us!
Hacker: Well, if you guys are going to betray me, I'll dismantle you with my bare hands!
Hacker sprung upon them and ripped off both of their heads.
Takuya: What the heck?! He killed those two so easily!
Digit: Don't worry, Motherboard can bring them back!
Hacker: Not if I have anything to say about it. And with the Dark Souls, I'll have her in that file again!
Takuya: Well, we'll stop you from doing that!
After the group defeated Hacker, Takuya held the Soul Blade to Hacker's head.
Hacker: No! You won't!
Takuya: I shouldn't do this…
Joey: He killed Buzz and Delete, what do YOU think you should do?
Tyranno: And it won't matter how many times we whoop him, he'll just keep coming back for more!
Cheetor: If you spare his life NOW, he won't do it to you LATER!
Joey: Is there anything you've gotta say, Sonic?
Sonic: No, I'm staying out of it.
Takuya seemed to think, never moving his Soul Blade from Hacker's throat. He finally made his mind and slashed. Hacker's head didn't fall off, but his arms and legs did.
Takuya: I improvised, so I didn't kill him, but he can't do any damage!
Hacker: You won't get away with this! I've got the Dark Souls on my side!
Sonic: Uh…maybe it'd be better to gag him.
Sonic gagged the cyborg and Joey welded him to the wall with some fire.
Takuya: There, now a couple weeks in this situation should make him go straight.
Joey: Hey, did you check for Soul Mistresses in Planet of the Beasts?
Takuya: Sorry, but the Soul Cube didn't exactly act up. And the Master Emerald said that if the Soul Cube doesn't act up in a world, there's no Soul Mistress.
Tyranno: Well, your pocket's glowing.
Takuya: Oh yeah…
Takuya noticed that his pocket was glowing uncontrollably and he exposed it to the light of the computer.
Matt: Uh…what's with the light show?
Takuya: You'll see.
The only person who was affect by this was Inez. She floated horizontally in the air.
Inez: I am Inez, Soul Mistress of Cyberspace.
Digit: What the…
Light suddenly filled all of Cyberspace and wherever there was Dark Souls, they vanished.
