This time we have a new chapter of The Digital Hero.
Nothing more to say let's dive right in.

Chapter 31
Consequences.
Hospital.
After everything that happened, everyone involved in the break-in at Overhaul's mansion was taken to the nearest hospital.
- "Very well, you are discharged from the hospital, young Kaminari."- A doctor said to Kaminari. – "To make sure I did a complete physical exam, in general you are fine, you have a few scrapes and a cut on your lip, but nothing to worry about, that will heal on its own. The only thing is that your right arm suffered some damage, nothing to worry about, but try not to force it too much for a few days."-
- "Sweet, thank you Doc."- Kaminari said as he leaves the room where he was. Once outside he meets Melissa and Aizawa. – "Melissa, Aizawa-sensei, I see that you are well."-
- "Yes, Kazemon took all the damage, as we know, the damage that our Digimon forms suffer is not passed on to our bodies."- Melissa said.
- "I only suffered a couple of bruises."- Aizawa said.
- "And what about the rest?"- Kaminari asked.
- "Amajiki received a huge cut on his face, but luckily it will heal without scars over time. Fat Gum received several bone fractures, but he appears to be doing well. Finally, Rock Lock suffered a leg injury, but will recover. The rest received minor injuries and have already been discharged."- Aizawa said.
- "And what about Eri?"- Melissa asked.
- "Eri is awake, she is stable, but she is under observation. No one can go to see her since at the moment the girl does not feel comfortable with people around her. Mirio and the Digimon are the only exceptions, she seems to be comfortable with the Digimon and with Mirio she is neutral."- Aizawa said. – "She also asked about Midoriya... but he can't go see her... dammit."-
- "It's true, I heard something about that Digimon, Gatomon is called right?"- Kaminari asked.
- "Yes, we don't know much about her, but Eri trusts her, so for now we let her stay with her, most likely Gatomon will stay with Eri."- Aizawa said. – "By the way, all of us who have already been discharged will meet at the same meeting place we used to plan the raid. Since you were also part of the raid, you also have to go."-
- "I feel like a professional now."- Kaminari said with a smile.
Melissa smiled at this too, however her thoughts were different. – "He didn't mention anything about Izuku... I hope nothing bad has happened."-
…

Meeting place.
Everyone involved in Eri's rescue who had already been discharged was at the scene, discussing everything that had happened and reading the reports and results of the operation.
- "In short, the operation was a complete success, there were no casualties on our side, we rescued our target and managed to arrest all the Precepts of Death, with the exception of Irinaka, who was found dead."- Sir Nighteye said. – "I thank all of you and everyone who is still in the hospital for your help. However, there is an issue I want to address."-
- "What is it about?"- Ryukyu said.
- "The transport that was taking Chisaki to Tartarus was attacked."- Sir Nighteye said.
- "What?! By whom?!"- A hero said.
- "We have seen the recording of the transport and we confirm that they were attacked by the League of Villains."- Sir Nighteye said.
- "The League of Villains?"- Aizawa said.
- "That's right, the recordings had no audio, but we were able to see everything that happened. The league attacked midway, incapacitated the policemen, and Tomura Shigaraki killed the professional hero Snatch."- Sir Nighteye said, this caused many to sigh in surprise. – "However, what surprises me the most is that they weren't behind the quirk erasing bullets."-
- "What do you mean? Those bullets would have been very useful in his hands."- Ryukyu said.
- "I also find it hard to believe, but I saw it with my own eyes, after killing Snatch, Tomura Shigaraki destroyed the bullets with his quirk and kidnapped Chisaki. We know it was a kidnapping and not a rescue due to Chisaki's expressions of terror."- Sir Nighteye said. – "In addition to disabling Chisaki's quirk by removing his hands."-
- "That means they want Chisaki for something other than being a part of the league."- Aizawa said.
- "Exactly, we don't know anything else, but Gran Torino and Tsukauchi are after a member of the league, Kurogiri was spotted on the outskirts of the city."- Sir Nighteye said.
- "Well, if we catch him, maybe we can interrogate him."- A hero said.
- "That also brings me to another matter, two members of the league, identified as Stain and Himiko Toga were confirmed to help us against Chisaki."- Sir Nighteye said.
- "Really? It is hard to believe it. Why would they help us?"- A hero said.
- "We know why."- Kaminari said. – "They themselves confirmed to us that Tomura Shigaraki ordered them to make sure Chisaki is defeated."-
- "Perhaps to facilitate his kidnapping."- Melissa said.
- "It may be, the truth is that Tomura Shigaraki is a mystery, it seems that he acts in an erratic and senseless way, but in the end, everything has a purpose."- Aizawa said. – "Something tells me that All for One's defeat is also part of a larger plan."-
- "Without a doubt, Tomura Shigaraki is someone who should not be underestimated, despite his young age, he acts as if he has everything under control, even his defeats seem to be planned."- Sir Nighteye said. – "Finally, there is one last topic to discuss… Eri."-
- "What's with her?"- Ryukyu said.
- "I think we can't forget what happened in the fight against Chisaki, the pressure we all felt and how he spoke to Midoriya and made him wake up and become stronger."- Sir Nighteye said.
- "You're right... she called herself Homeostais."- Ryukyu said.
- "That's right, not only that, apparently she managed to influence Midoriya so that he obtained a new transformation."- Sir Nighteye said. – "That means there is some kind of relationship, but I don't know what."-
- "It definitely has to do with Digimon, I'll have to ask Nezu."- Aizawa thought. – "Maybe it has to do with the quirk evolution."-
- "Nezu's theory?"- Ryukyu asked.
- "It's the only relationship I can think of, that it was Midoriya and not someone else just makes it more feasible."- Aizawa said.
- "Good point, we should investigate more on the matter."- Sir Nighteye.
- "We could let Eri be under the care of the UA. In this way we could find out more since we have several students with their quirk evolved. In addition to the fact that Mirio is also part of the UA, and he is the only one with whom Eri feels comfortable, or at least she doesn't feel uncomfortable."- Aizawa said.
- "Good idea, that sounds good to me."- Mirio said. – "But where will she live?"-
- "She can live with me."- Aizawa said.
- "And what about that Gatomon?" – Centipeder said.
- "Eri trusts her, I don't see a problem with her also staying with me."- Aizawa said.
- "I still find it hard to believe that we found another animal that got a quirk, just like Nezu."- Nejire said.
- "Then it is agreed, Eri will remain under the care of the UA."- Sir Nighteye said. – "Eraserhead, I trust you'll look into the Homeostasis thing."-
- "Yes, I will inform Nezu about that."-
- "All right, I'll end this meeting."- Sir Nighteye said.
As everyone leaves, Melissa and Kaminari approach Aizawa. – "Excuse me, Aizawa-sensei."- Melissa said.
- "Yes?"-
- "When we were in the hospital, you didn't mention anything about Izuku, I thought he'd be here, but he wasn't. Did something happen to him?"- Melissa said.
Aizawa turns to the ground and then sighs to see both students again. – "I didn't want to tell you, for fear of how you would have reacted, but I think it's only fair that you know."- Aizawa said, this worried both students. – "Izuku Midoriya hasn't woken up from his coma yet."-
…
…
…
Hospital.
Izuku's room.
In the room, an unconscious Izuku is lying on the bed, with serum connected to him due to his unconsciousness. Sitting next to the bed is his mother, Inko Midoriya, who was notified, at Aizawa's request, of her son's condition.
The door to the room opens and Inko can see Aizawa standing in the doorway. – "An apology for the intrusion, but they wanted to see Midoriya."- Aizawa said as Melissa, in tears, and Kaminari, with a worried expression, entered the room.
- "You must be Izuku's friends."- Inko said.
- "Well... yes, we were also involved in the rescue operation, that's why only we are here. The rest don't know what we've been doing."- Kaminari said.
- "Thanks for coming to see him. I'm glad Izuku has such good friends."- Inko said.
…
…
…
Forests outside the city.
- "Thanks to reports and testimonials from various people, we were able to find you."- Gran Torino said. – "The most troublesome member of the League, Kurogiri, you are under arrest."-
Gran Torino has managed to catch Kurogiri, to the surprise of everyone there, he did not put up much resistance.
- "We have to be careful; he can open portals; we have to restrict him as soon as possible."- Tsukauchi said.
- "I..."- Kurogiri said. – "I am expendable now that Tomura can open the digital portals at will."-
- "Digital Portals?"- Gran Torino said. – "Did you let yourself get caught now?"-
- "No, my capture isn't part of the plan, but it won't hurt Tomura either, that's why he sent me, I'm expendable."- Kurogiri said.
- "He sent you here… Why?"- Tsukauchi said.
- "To make sure he gets to Tomura Shigaraki."- After these words from Kurogiri, the ground begins to shake. From among the trees a gigantic figure emerges. – "Machinedramon! Tomura Shigaraki calls you!"-
Machinedramon is made from synthesized body parts of many Cyborg Digimon—Megadramon's helmet and right claw, MetalTyrannomon's jaw and chest circuits, two of MetalMamemon's Psycho Blasters, MetalGreymon's left claw and chest plates, and Andromon's shoulder pads. Its tail is a hollow stump, which it can extend, revealing rotating beam-like weaponry.
- "What is that thing?!"-
- "Lord Tomura needs me…"- Machinedramon said.
- "Yes, and I'll take you with him!"- Kurigiri said as he used a portal to transport Machinedramon.
- "Stop!"- Gran Torino said as he hit Kurogiri, however it was too late, Machinedramon was no longer there.
- "Too late, hero…"- Kurogiri said before falling unconscious.
…
…
…
Hospital.
Izuku's room.
- "Physically he is healthy, there are no physical problems."- A doctor said. – "But we can't say the same for his state of mind."-
- "What do you mean?"- Aizawa said, the doctor has arrived, they had carried out some studies on Izuku to know exactly what is happening to him.
- "It's complicated, but it's like there's nothing, his mind is absent. The brain works well, so it can continue to breathe automatically, just like his organs are working well, but within its conscience, it is as if there was nothing."- The doctor said. – "We don't know exactly if he will ever wake up."-
- "He will."- That caught everyone's attention, Melissa had said that. – "I know Izuku, and he would never give up, that's why he will wake up!"-
- "Yes, Izuku is the coolest person I've ever met, if there's anyone who can top this, it's him!"- Kaminari said.
Aizawa smiles at those words. - "Midoriya, they really trust you... you better wake up."-
Tears begin to come out of Inko's eyes. - "Thank you for your words, for some reason they fill me with hope."- In that, Inko turns to see Melissa. – "You, you talk as if your relationship with Izuku is closer."-
Melissa blushes a little. - "Well... we're… dating."-
- "Izuku has a girlfriend?!"- Inko takes Melissa's hands. – "That makes me very happy. When Izuku wakes up, you have to come home one day."-
- "Y-Yes, that would be nice."- Melissa said.
- "I'm sorry to interrupt this moment, but it's time to go. We have to go back to the UA."- Aizawa said.
- "Yes, Aizawa-sensei."- Kaminari said. – "Nice to meet you Midoriya-san."-
- "It was also nice to meet you Mrs. Midoriya."- Melissa said.
- "Please, you can call me Inko."-
- "O-Okay... It was nice meeting you Inko."-
…
…
…
1-A Dorms.
Melissa and Kaminari enter the dorms, to their surprise, all their classmates were waiting for them.
- "Guys! They are back!"-
- "We were very worried about you!"-
- "Are you okay?!"-
As everyone asks Melissa and Kaminari questions, someone notices someone missing. – "Wait!"- Shinso said. – "Where is Midoriya?"- This question made everyone aware of the absence of their green-haired classmate.
Melissa and Kaminari turn to look at each other and their expressions change to sad ones.
- "What happened?!"-
…
…
…
Unknown place.
Izuku suddenly opens his eyes. The place where he is, is a type of field, full of grass and some flowers, however he does not know where he is. Izuku runs his right hand across his face, however his left eye widens in shock.
His entire right arm was weird, although it was still shaped like an arm, it was made of data, literally data. Checking himself, Izuku realizes that his right leg, right torso, and the right side of his face are in the same state. – "What is happening to me?!"-
- "You really outdid yourself this time."- A voice said, seeing the origin of the voice, Izuku can see AncientGreymon in front of him.
- "AncientGreymon! What is happening to me?!"- Izuku said in despair.
- "In a few words... you broke."- AncientGreymon said.
- "B-Broke?!"-
- "Calm down a bit and let me explain. What happened is that the moment you unlocked Aldamon..."-
- "Aldamon? Is that the new transformation I used?"- Izuku asked.
- "That's right, Aldamon is the fusion of both spirits, human and beast, by uniting both spirits you have access to all my power. What happens, although your body was ready for the transformation, your mind was not and when you returned to your human form it was fragmented. Those fragments were scattered in the digital world, although I was able to intervene in time and save most of them, parts of your mind are still missing, therefore your current appearance."-
- "I-I see... but what does my mind have to do with my body?"-
- "Very simple, your body is in your world, while what you are now is only a digital projection of your consciousness, separated from your body by what I have explained to you."-
- "So, I'm in the digital world? I can't go back to my body?"-
- "Until you are whole again, I'm afraid not."-
- "How many parts of my conscience are missing?"-
- "There are still four to find, luckily, they are all spread out close to each other, just in different places."-
- "So, I just need to find them."-
- "That's right, just by touching them, they will become part of you again and a piece of your appearance will be rebuilt. But you must be careful, several Digimon are after these parts."-
- "Don't worry, I'll use my transformations to defend myself."-
- "That's the other part I wanted to tell you about. You can't transform."-
- "What?! Why?!"-
- "The four spirits of your transformations, Flamemon, Agunimon, BurningGreymon and Aldamon, were linked to your missing parts, therefore they are not inside you, you will not be able to transform until you recover them all."-
- "So, how can I defend myself?"-
- "I managed to get someone's help."-
A Digimon arrives at the place, seeing it Izuku seems to recognize it. – "Agu…mon?"-
The Digimon is an Agumon, but somewhat different, its physique is slightly different as well as having red leather belts around its arms. – "Yes, that's right, I'm an Agumon. Who are you?"-
- "I'm Izuku... I'm sorry, it's just that you look different from an Agumon I met."-
- "Nice to meet you Izuku and don't worry, it's not the first time that someone told me that."- Agumon said.
- "Agumon will help you while you can't transform."- AncientGreymon said as a device appears in front of Izuku.
The device has a rectangular shape, it is dark gray with orange details. It has a screen at the top front and three orange buttons below the screen, the device ends with a white circle at the bottom, on the right side it has a second screen.
(AN: If you're wondering, it's the Digimon Savers Digivice, the second version of the Digivice.)
- "This is a Digivice Buster. With this you can make Agumon digivolve when necessary."- AncientGreymon explained while Izuku analyzed the Digivice. – "Not only that, if you press the central button, the Digivice will show you a map of the place and point out the locations of the missing parts of your consciousness."-
As AncientGreymon explained this, Izuku pressed the indicated button and could see the map, it was different from File Island. – "This is not File Island."-
- "We are on the Folder Continent."- Agumon said.
- "Oh, interesting name. I guess we better get going."- Izuku said.
- "Good luck Izuku Midoriya."- AncientGreymon said before disappearing.
- "Alright, let's go Agumon."- Izuku said before displaying the map. – "The closest one is in this location, come on."- Izuku closes the map and they both set off.
…
…
…
Izuku and Agumon are crouched while in the distance is a forest. Izuku is looking through binoculars, no idea where he got them from, and in the distance, he can see one of the fragments of his consciousness that he lacks, that fragment has the shape of Flamemon's spirit. – "There it is the first fragment."- Izuku said.
- "Yeah, but it's in the middle of Monochromon territory. They are generally docile, but if you enter their territory and they consider you a danger, which I think they will since they haven't seen any humans before, then they won't hesitate to attack you."-
- "Then what do we do?"-
- "That's why you have the Digivice Buster and me."- Agumon said.
- "Right! Alright Agumon! Let's do it!"- Izuku said as he took the D-Buster.
(AN: From now on I will call the Digivice Buster as D-Buster for short.)
Data appears on Izuku's right hand. - "DNA Charge!"- Izuku enters the data into the D-Buster.
- "Agumon digivolve to…!"- Agumon's appearance begins to change. – "GeoGreymon!"-
GeoGreymon is an orange Ceratosaurus whose design carries elements of the classic monster Gomora with orange eyes, and spikes on its arms, shoulders, and jaw, with blue tips on them. It has blue stripes on its legs, arms, neck, torax, mouth and tail. It wears red training bracers and a brown helmet with three horns and multiple spikes on it. The helmet also has red stripes, and the spikes have red tips.
Izuku climbs on GeoGreymon's shoulder. – "Alright GeoGreymon! Go!"-
GeoGreymon lets out a roar and goes to the forest, once he reaches the place where the fragment of consciousness was, the Monochromon begin to attack him.
GeoGreymon starts defending himself by hitting the Monochromon with his tail.
Taking advantage of the distraction, Izuku gets off GeoGreymon and heads towards the fragment of consciousness, once in front he takes it, and it merges with him. After the fragment joins Izuku, the missing part of his torso returns and is normal again. – "It worked!"- Izuku thought excitedly.
GeoGreymon knocks down a Monochromon. – "Izuku! It worked?"-
Izuku climbs back onto GeoGreymon's shoulder. - "Yes! Now let's get out of here!"-
- "You don't have to tell me twice! Mega Flame!"- GeoGreymon said as he shot a ball of fire from his mouth. The fireball hits the ground causing the Monochromon to back off, taking advantage of this, GeoGreymon escapes from the place.
- "Alright! We've got one fragment, only three to go."- Izuku said. – "I hope they are all equally easy to recover."-
- "Don't worry, I'm here to help if things get dangerous."- GeoGreymon said.
- "Thanks."- Izuku says as he displays the map. – "All right, the next one is that way. Let's go GeoGreymon!"- Izuku said as he pointed to a direction and GeoGreymon followed Izuku's instructions.

To be continued.
Next chapter: Freeing the warrior.
Author notes:
So yeah. Here we are.
Another chapter finished.
A somewhat calmer chapter after everything that happened with Overhaul.
The heroes have a meeting about what happened with Overhaul, Eri, and the League's involvement.
Shigaraki's side gets a powerful soldier, Machinedramon, things get complicated for the heroes.
However, we have another problem, Izuku is in a coma and his mind is in the digital world, the price for using Aldamon with an unprepared mind.
Speaking of this current arc, it will be quite short, in fact the next chapter will be the last of this arc since for what will happen, I only need two chapters.
This does not mean that this arc is not necessary, since the next chapter will have an important revelation for the story, in addition to taking Izuku out of the events in the human world since Aldamon is very powerful for what is about to happen in the human world, you know... Gentle Criminal.
This confirms that Izuku will be absent from the human world for a while.
The next chapter will be a little time-skip, not so exaggerated, but this will allow various things to happen in the human world without Izuku being present.
Finally, I am going to answer a question that was left to me in the last chapter.
…
…
…
From: XD.
Q: Will there be other Chosen Children (Digidestined) or will it just be Eri?
Most likely not.
In fact, a little curiosity.
I hadn't planned for Eri, Gatomon and Homeostasis, in fact, Gatomon wasn't even going to show up. This idea was suggested to me by someone via PM.
I really liked the idea of Eri with Gatomon as a Digimon partner that I decided to add it and luckily, I was able to add it without feeling forced, then the idea of homeostasis occurred to me, and I decided to add it.
That's why I say, if you have suggestions or ideas for the story, feel free to tell me and I may add them to the story, obviously if I can add them consistently and without it feeling forced.
…
…
…
Nothing more to say I hope you like it.
As always feel free to leave any comment, review, suggestion, or question about the story, of course always with respect.
Leave your comments about the story, if you like it or not, that also helps me to improve my writing.
So yeah. That's all for now.
Bye Bye.
