"Miyu! What did I tell you about using that virus?!" Ryoken yelled. Ryoken was located inside a room surrounded by computers with Faust, Genome and Baira all working on the modules. Ryoken was talking to Miyu via the big screen who was still in the Deep Web.

"Look I took a chance! I didn't know it was going to fail!"

"It wasn't tested…. now that's been compromised….."

"Well at least we know where the Ignis immortality is stored… I did find that…"

"Yes thankfully. We've relocated everything to the ship and entering the final phase."

"What will you do now?"

"We're running a deep scan of the Deep Web; we'll find whatever the Ignis are using to store their immortality. Meanwhile… I'm coming down there myself."

VRAINS – Deep Web

Another half an hour had passed and Playmaker was awake and now remaining as stoic as ever.

"We're fine to move." Playmaker insisted.

"And you got infected by a Hanoi virus, you should log out." Blue Girl replied.

"I started a job and we'll finish this job. That's all I'm saying on it… either you come with me or you stay here."

"Such a stubborn person…." Flame noted.

"Fine… we carry on." Blue Girl said. "We know where the Ignis Memorial is…. how do we get to it without the whole of the Deep Web finding us."

"Since it's buried under a public place…. it's almost near impossible." Aqua said.

"I have some of Ghost Girl's tools to allow us to dig it up… if only we had a way…"

"Maybe we don't need to dig it up…. I have a theory." Aqua replied.

….

The group had returned to the duel cage which was currently empty. The Ignis Memorial was located underneath.

"Do you have a tool to scan the area?"

"Yeah." Blue Girl replied as she reached into one of her blue deck cases she had on her belt and pulled out a thin metal tube. Blue Girl planted it on the floor as it lit up in green light.

"And what will this do?" Soulburner asked.

"It scans the area for any secret portals." Blue Girl replied.

"I thought it was buried?"

"It is but what if someone buried it to hide it…. they would've needed a portal." Aqua explained.

"You can't mean?" Flame turned to Aqua.

"It might be the Earth Ignis."

"Earth Ignis? Why would he be down here?" Ai asked.

"The final of the six Ignis could be here?" Playmaker said.

"Because he was the guardian of Cyberse. Always standing firm and strong to protect us…. he alerted us to when Hanoi found us so we could evacuate. It makes sense for him to guard a vital remnant such as the Ignis Memorial."

"Ah yes! The Earth Ignis could create portals in the network to hidden areas within LINK VRAINS." Ai exclaimed.

"So the Ignis Memorial did fall here but the Earth Ignis moved it… sounds like him." Flame added.

The scanning was completed and it fired out a digital pulse. Around the area a green grid was shown.

Blue Girl and the others looked and they saw a yellow circle. They approached the area as the grid faded.

"The portal is buried underneath." Aqua said. "Since it's an Ignis portal, we can open it."

Aqua, Flame and AI all held out their hands and underneath the soil a bright glow could be seen. It swirled around in a whirlpool vortex to reveal a green portal.

"We sure about this?" Soulburner said as he looked down at the long drop.

"It's safe… the Earth Ignis made this." Flame assured.

The group then heard some talking coming from the streets connecting to the duel cage.

"The locals down here must be coming back this way to continue their search; can we close the portal once we're in?" Playmaker asked.

"Yes, we can." Aqua replied.

"Then let's go." Playmaker ran and leapt into the portal as did Blue Girl and Soulburner. Once they all entered the soil returned to cover the portal.

….

Emerging in a blue light was Revolver who stood on high on the rocky terrain which surrounded the Deep Web. He could see everything from atop. Appearing next to him was Violet Dagger.

"So somewhere down here is the key… we remove that, we can kill the Ignis without worry." Revolver proclaimed.

"So how do we approach this? People are looking in hope that we pay them for any information…."

"We don't need them. They serve no further purpose. If they can't find it on a ground level we need to go deeper." Revolver said as he held up his hand and a green screen emerged.

"What are you doing?" Violet Dagger asked.

"Calling in the whole of Hanoi. With LINK VRAINS shut we have so many fighters wanting a fight…."

"I don't think many of them actually care about our goals…. in fact I'm sure most of them don't actually think we mean it when we say we wish to remove the internet…."

"I don't care about them either. If they're here to cause trouble, that's all I need them for." Revolver hit the screen with a smirk.

…

The group had found themselves in a small cave. Blue Girl used a torch which she had on her as they walked along,

Up ahead they could see a sparkling line. They approached to see a sliver rock with six crystals buried inside, Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, Dark, Orange.

"That's it…." Ai said.

"We created it to upload the Ignis memories and data if one of us died… to allow the others to remember us by." Flame added.

"But it also allows us to return back to life if we did…. something Kogami made us do with his programming…." Aqua continued.

"Let's take it then!" Soulburner put a foot forward but when he did there was the sound of rocks rising from the ground.

The ground turned and saw the tunnel was now closed as a large rock formed to block their path.

"Our only way out..." Blue Girl gritted her teeth.

"And we can't log out either." Playmaker looked at his duel disk.

The Ignis Memorial faded as an orange bulky creature appeared. It had blue eyes with black lines going around it.

"I see you found your way here." the Earth Ignis said as he looked at Flame.

"You're really here." Flame said. Playmaker and Ai also stepped into the light.

"You as well?"

"Long time no see, Earthy!" Ai waved.

"Earthy? What is the meaning of that word?"

"You see us Ignis have human names! I'm calling you Earth." Ai smugly replied.

"That serves no purpose. Don't call me that again."

"It's not a bad name actually.…." said Aqua as she and Blue Girl approached.

"You…?!" the Earth Ignis lit up with a red face.

"How are you, Earth?" Aqua said to the orange Ignis.

"I…. I…. yes… yes I've good!"

"Can we call you Earth? It's better for the humans."

"You can call me whatever you want….!" Earth stuttered.

"I'm Aqua, the Dark Ignis is Ai while the Fire Ignis is Flame." she explained.

"Ai… Flame…. Aqua….. that's such a cute name….!"

"Yes it is!" Ai gloated. "I picked it myself!"

"Knock it off, Ai." Flame folded his arms and shook his head.

"Hello, Earth. I'm Blue Girl, this is Playmaker and Soulburner." Blue Girl stepped forward.

"So you found your human origins?" Earth said as he floated into the air.

"Yes, Earth we need them to fight the Hanoi. We also found Lightning and Windy!" Ai said.

"Light and Wind Ignis? We've all been located? That's a relief."

"So what happened down here, Earth?" Aqua asked.

"After we lost the Cyberse Word ten years ago, I tracked down the Ignis Memorial and sat here."

"For ten years?!" Ai replied.

"Yes, I am serving my role to the Cyberse. The Ignis Memorial was the last piece of us so I had to guard it." Earth said.

"Earth…. thank you." Aqua gushed.

"Aqua…..!"

"Does Earth always….. do this?" Soulburner asked Flame.

"What, that he has a huge crush? Yeah… Earth has always had something for her." Flame answered. "He's so loyal and calm but… turns into a giant jelly with Aqua….."

"Earth, the Hanoi is coming." Blue Girl explained. Earth stared at Blue Girl. "Um…. did you hear me?"

Earth went up to Blue Girl and stared even closer as Blue Girl felt claustrophobic but didn't want to say anything. Earth grabbed Blue Girl's cheeks and stretched them out.

"The structure is very disappointing…. but I should observe inside."

"Get off!" Blue Girl slapped Earth against the wall in a knee-jerk reaction; Blue Girl actually never meant to do it and she immediately put her hands over her mouth. "Earth, I'm sorry!"

"I understand…. humans don't like their privacy invaded…." Earth said as he rubbed his head while he floated back up.

"Earth…. she didn't mean it…., Blue Girl, Earth is…." Aqua tried to explain.

"Earth doesn't have people skills…." Ai continued.

"I am socially awkward."

"Nice to meet you Socially Awkward… I'm Soulburner!"

"My name is Earth not Socially Awkward."

"It was a…. erm…. joke…." Soulburner rubbed the back of his head.

"No that was just an embarrassing joke…." Flame replied.

"Anyway…." Playmaker interrupted. "We need to get to the surface; this Ignis Memorial holds your immortality. Something the Hanoi is trying to destroy before they kill you all."

"Our immortality?"

"Yes, there's a lot to catch you up on, Earth." Flame said.

"You wish for me to… go to the real world?"

"No, you don't need to. Lightning has created a new Cyberse World!" Aqua added.

"Lightning? A new Cyberse World? That doesn't sound good."

"Why not?" Ai asked.

"I have… my feelings regarding the Light Ignis…."

"Well we need to get out of here. We have a secure location." Playmaker said.

"If Aqua trusts you all then so will I." Earth answered. However coming from above they heard loud screams and shouts.

"What now?" Blue Girl said.

Earth clenched his fist and the real Ignis Memorial appeared in his hands.

"Okay, you should be able to log out." Earth said.

"And I'll create a data trail for you to follow us, Earth." Aqua put her hand up and a blue spore was created.

"Let's go." Blue Girl tried to log out but as with Soulburner and Playmaker, she was unable to.

"That's strange…."

The rocks blocking the path exploded as everyone turned around. Approaching them was Revolver.

"How?!" Blue Girl yelled.

"Time we end this!"
