Scruffy licked Akito awake which tickled his boy.
"Scruffy!" Akito laughed as he then woke up and lifted his bandanna up over his eyes.
"The twins saw Kenji's picture on the news!" Scruffy told him.
"What?!" Akito pulled a face.
"Come on!" Scruffy jumped off the bed and pushed over Akito's clothes.
Akito soon got dressed and rushed out of his room to see what was going on from what his dog said, and where he was right, but Kenji's eyes were blacked out on the image. Kenji had a bit of a breakdown since his image was shown on TV like that.
"Why the heck is your picture on TV?!" Akito asked Kenji as he was freaking out as well.
"That picture?! It's me!" Kenji gasped.
They soon saw what was happening to OZ and it wasn't a pretty sight. A commentator guessed that it was probably just a prank. And where Kenji's Avatar was soon shown, but it looked like it was sick and possessed and where the commentator said that they would throw the book at Kenji once they found him.
"Throw the book at him?" Shingo asked.
"Means he's busted!" Yunhei giggled.
"Okay, breakfast is ready!" Noriko announced.
"Quick! Cut the cord." Akito whispered to Scruffy.
Scruffy went behind the TV.
"What's so funny?" Noriko asked until Scruffy cut the TV cord with one of his claws which made the screen black out.
"Quick, log into your account." Akito whispered to Kenji.
The younger ones pouted as they tried to turn on the TV with the remote.
Kenji struggled as he tried to use his phone and quickly logged into his OZ account, but his access was denied.
"Try again!" Akito told him.
Kenji began to try it over and over again, but his access still continued to be denied.
"Try yours." Kenji said.
Akito did so and where his seemed to be accepted. 'Got it!" he told him.
"How come I can't get into mine?" Kenji asked before getting an idea before going off to find someone he saw last night that was alone.
"Did you do this?" Kazuma asked as he turned from his laptop.
"Let me use your computer!" Kenji said before tripping and falling into the room.
"Rude much? How about next time asking politely." Kazuma said.
Kenji blinked at first. "Okay... I hate to impose, but might I trouble you for the use of your computer, sir?" he then tried again, but polite.
Kazuma soon allowed him to use his laptop.
"Thanks a lot!" Kenji nodded as he then tried to get into his OZ account.
"Why are you freaking out?" Kazuma asked before taking a drink.
"Someone used my account to hack into OZ! That's why!" Kenji yelped.
"Gotcha, so you're the fall guy." Kazuma said.
"Kenji, try calling Costumer Service maybe they can help." Akito said.
"Oh, yeah!" Kenji agreed before taking out his phone to do just that. "Hi, Tech Support? Somebody ha-"
'Sorry, but we cannot authenticate the OZ number for your phone, please hang up and try your call later.' a prerecorded message replied.
"I can't connect! I can't connect! What do I do?!" Kenji panicked.
"Calm down, dude." Kazuma replied.
"Kenji?" Kiyoma asked which made Kenji yell out.
"Kenji, calm down, it's just Kiyoma with the phone." Akito calmed him down.
"You have a phone call," Kiyoma told Kenji. "Sakuma from Tokyo."
"Uh, thank you, Kiyoma." Kenji said before accepting the phone.
Cherry groaned as she was finally let out of her room, she had dark circles under her eyes and now had a throbbing headache.
"Good morning, Maman!" Felicity chirped.
Cherry grunted and rubbed her head even more.
"Are you okay, Aunt Cherry?" Estelle asked.
"I... I had trouble with the fireplace..." Cherry muttered.
"You had a fireplace in the room?" Estelle asked.
"Oh, non..." Felicity moaned as her mother went to the bathroom to freshen up. "She's DRUNK! Well, she was... She's now... Over hung?"
"Hungover." Estelle corrected.
"Right..." Felicity then nodded.
Forte released a long-suffering sigh as he walked by due to Cherry becoming drunk last night.
"Please tell me you didn't break the internet." Sakuma sighed.
"Of course not!" Kenji replied.
"Didn't think so," Sakuma nodded then. "It's way too gutsy to be you."
"Fine, if you knew it wasn't me, then help me out!" Kenji told him.
"Can't," Sakuma replied much to his frustration. "None of our admin passwords work anymore; we've been exiled."
Akito groaned as he felt bad for Kenji.
"Wasn't there like a security the best in the world?" Kenji asked.
"Last night this weird email popped up all over OZ." Sakuma informed.
"What it say?" Akito asked as he added himself into the conversation.
Kenji put his phone on speaker so Akito could talk with Sakuma too.
"OZ's 2,056-digit security algorithm," Sakuma informed. "It's supposed to be impossible to decrypt, but somebody punched through it in a single night!"
"Wait, 2,056?" Akito asked.
"Was that the first number?" Kenji added with wide eyes.
"Eight." Sakuma told them.
"Crap, we did it." Akito and Kenji groaned.
"It was us after all..." Kenji looked unfortunate.
"Excuse me?" Sakuma replied.
"I just thought it was someone wanting me to solve some math problem." Akito sighed.
"So, you went and solved it?" Sakuma scolded. "Idiots!"
"Sorry! We didn't mean to do it, but the question is why is Kenji's avatar being used?" Akito asked.
"I'll figure that out, but don't worry, I got Kenji a guest avatar for now." Sakuma replied.
"That's good, let's see what it looks like." Akito said.
Akito covered his mouth once he checked it out with Kenji.
"I'm a squirrel...?" Kenji asked uneasily.
Akito soon burst out laughing.
"Akito!" Kenji pouted.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Akito laughed. "It's like Slappy and Skippy Squirrel!"
"Yeah, yeah, get it out of your system." Kenji said.
Akito then kept laughing at Kenji's new avatar. "Oh, man!"
Estelle, Vincent, Felicity, and the Clark siblings soon came in to see what was going on, and where they saw Kenji's new avatar. They all then snickered before laughing out loud like Akito earlier.
After a brief moment of laughter, Kenji soon logged into OZ to find out what was going on.
"Sorry for laughing, Kenji." Felicity said.
"Just let me take it from here." Kenji said as he used the guest avatar since his current one was hacked.
"Okay." Akito said.
'Greetings, citizens of OZ,' An announcement was made. 'Due to unforeseen circumstances, many of our services are currently offline. We apologize for the inconvenience. Greetings, citizens of OZ. Due to unforeseen circumstances, many of our services are currently offline. We apologize for the inconvenience.'
Kenji's Avatar soon turned to his left to see his original avatar with its arms up. Kenji moved his guest avatar to confront his avatar, but hacked one.
"Excuse me, could you stop using my avatar to frame me?" Kenji's new avatar asked the hacked avatar.
The hacked avatar looked back at Kenji's new avatar and snickered rather darkly with a malicious grin on the face.
"That's rather creepy." Estelle said.
The other avatars soon faced Kenji's guest avatar the same way.
"That's even creepier." Akito agreed with his twin sister.
The avatars then began to beat up Kenji's avatar.
"Whoa! That's not allowed." Vincent said.
"You wanna use cheats? Okay, I'll show you cheats!" Marc glared as he got connected to his own OZ account.
"Maybe Sakuma can tell us what's going on with the avatars and how this is even fair." Akito said.
"Let me handle this." Marc replied.
"You are such a computer nerd." Tony complained to his brother.
"Sakuma, explaination please?" Akito asked online.
"What's happened so far?" Sakuma asked.
"This hacker seems to be in battle mode." Akito informed.
"Battle mode?" Sakuma replied. "But this is a no-fighting area! You've got trouble. Collision detector parameters have been reset for all the avatar sprites."
"So, what I'm getting is that now it's an all out slaughterhouse, right?" Akito guessed.
"I'd say it's more of a caged match, but that's close enough," Sakuma replied to him. "Now, run!"
"I'm logging in with my avatar account from my laptop and I hope King Kazma logs on too." Akito said.
"I highly recommend you do." Sakuma told the boy.
Akito cracked his knuckles and logged into his own OZ account, and where he arrived online through his laptop as his avatar which was known as Superdog.
"Your avatar looks like a Sayian version of Krypto." Estelle told her twin brother.
"I bet if you had one, she'd look like Ahiru." Akito retorted.
"Yeah, well be happy that I'm on your laptop and not one of the kids thinking this is a game." Estelle told him as he was actually inside OZ.
"Oh, pfft..." Akito blew a raspberry before getting down to serious business as Scruffy came in and sat on his head. "Scruffy, get down."
"I wanna watch." Scruffy leaned over.
Soon enough, two new avatars arrived. Kenji's hacked avatar kept beating up Kenji's guest avatar until he was suddenly tackled by Akito's avatar to the ground before then getting kicked in the face by another avatar that looked like a rabbit only more serious.
"Who's that?" Akito wondered as he controlled his avatar.
"Akito, you won't believe who King Kazma is." Vincent said.
"Thrill me." Akito replied.
Everyone else online freaked out in the same way as they saw King Kazma online. Vincent then pointed to Kazuma as he was helping Kenji.
"No way." Akito smiled before focusing back on what was going on.
Kazuma then concentrated to help Kenji and Akito out in OZ, and where the two of them seemed to work great together as a team. Akito and Kazuma smiled to each other as they became friends.
"Go, team, go! Go, team, go! Go, team, go! Goooooo, Team!" The girls cheered.
Akito and Kazuma typed wildly as they chased after Kenji's hacked avatar. Kenji just couldn't believe what he was seeing, and where Kenji's hacked avatar had crashed into a big book and fell to the ground.
"He just got pwned!" Megan laughed.
King Kazma hopped from the book with his feet and then lunged after Kenji's hacked avatar and grabbed him into a choke hold after crashing into the speech bubbles. Superdog landed next to him allowing King Kazma to keep the hacked avatar at bay.
"You got him!" Tony cheered.
"This guy is nothing!" Kazuma scoffed.
"Nothing could ruin this moment." Tony said.
The little kids soon came in and saw what was going on.
"Aha! Sir, the criminal's been found!" Singo saluted.
"Good work," Yunhei nodded. "Let's get him!"
"Lee, quick grab those two before they try to grab Kenji!" Akito told him.
Lee nodded and did just that. The kids then complained as they were lifted in Lee's arms.
"What're you kids doing here?" Estelle asked.
"We need to catch the bad guy, Estelle!" Singo pouted. "Make this guy let us go!"
"I'm sorry, guys, your brother is in the middle of something and you two trying to catch Kenji is only going to distract him." Lee said.
"Kids, why dont' you play a game in the other room?" Estelle cooed, using her babysitting techniques.
"Aw! But we wanna catch the bad guy!" Singo pouted.
"Another time, now, let's go do something else." Estelle smiled.
"Is he actually getting free from that choke hold?" Vincent asked as he saw the hacked avatar get free.
"What?!" Kenji yelped at that.
"Not for long." Akito glared as he typed on the computer.
Superdog began to try to get a hold onto the hacked avatar only for the hacked avatar to actually consume some of the other avatars.
"NOOOO!" Tony cried out.
After consuming some of the avatars, the hacked avatar seemed to actually evolve/Digivolve.
"Did he just Digivolve?" Tony asked based on his love for Digimon.
"I think so," Akito replied. 'He looks like the Tar Monster from Scooby Doo."
"And looks like he's ready to fight you two." Marc said.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Kazuma panicked.
"Don't you ever say those words." Estelle warned the younger kids.
Akito seemed to have the same problem.
'KO! Challenger wins!' An OZ announcer announced.
"No way." Akito said.
"That was close," Kenji said. "It probably would have eaten your avatar too."
"Yeah, both of yours." Estelle sighed.
