Kingdom Hearts Cyber Sleuth
Chapter 4: Account Raiders
Sora was checking out a manga store at the Nakano Mall, waiting for Takumi to return. He was informed by Kyoko to check out if anybody was still talking about him when he first entered the real world in his digital avatar.
Sora declined the offer, just in case he ran into that police detective lady again. Kyoko told him that the person he just mentioned is named Makiko Date. But Sora still didn't want to risk meeting her again.
Certainly, this manga was bizarre! It had beings helping people called 'Stands' or something, and some of the characters had something that had 'Jojo' around their names.
It gave Sora a headache from the confusion of the book, so he put it back and returned to the agency. But it was strange... Why was he cold? He looked up, of course he was under an air conditioner.
But shouldn't it be blowing warm air? He was interupted by his Digivice, who was calling him? It was someone unfamiliar to him, a woman. And it looked like she was trying to say something.
"Hello? Are you in trouble?" The keybearer asked the woman, only to have the video feed cut out. "Hey, wait!" He groaned, Was that really a woman? "Sora? Is that you?" The keybearer heard Nokia's voice.
Sora walked towards Nokia's voice, and saw her in front of a music store. She looked towards the keybearer in surprise! "You escaped!" Nokia shouted as she ran to hug the keybearer, who hugged Nokia back.
"What about Takumi, is he okay?" She asked, looking around to find him. "Don't worry, he's fine!" Sora reassured her, although being half digital, half physical wouldn't count as fine.
Sora noticed that she wasn't just worried about Takumi, but someone else. "Are you worried?" Sora asked Nokia, who nodded in response. But she was silent, not knowing what to do.
The keyblade master had gotten an idea. "Why don't we go to Kyoko's Agency? I'm sure she can help!" He said, getting Nokia to smile. Even if she just met him, she can count on Sora to help out.
Sora and Nokia went into Kyoko's detective agency, seeing the detective talking to Takumi about the update on his appearance from yesterday. The last part was that he met a few of his friends from school.
"Takumi!" She shouted in surprise, running to the goggle head. Takumi sure was surprised, seeing her in the real world for the first time. He saw Sora waving at him. "Nice to see you again, Nokia." Takumi said, as they both hugged.
Kyoko looked at the pink haired teen, knowing she needed help. "Is there anything we can help you with?" She asked Nokia, who turned to see her. And nodded to the detective. "Then have a seat.
The pink haired teen sat at the couch, telling Kyoko, Takumi and Sora about how she was worried about Agumon and Gabumon, the first two Digimon she met back at Kowloon. "And I need some help, because I'm worried about them." She said, wanting to find them.
"Don't worry, we'll help you out." Kyoko said to the worried girl, reassuring her for a bit. "Won't we?" She asked both Sora and Takumi, who both nodded.
Nokia said that she'll be at the nearest Internet cafe, Kyoko assured her that Takumi and Sora had their own 'special' way. And by that, she meant her T.V.
A little while later, Sora, Takumi and their digimons met Nokia. She said hello to Terriermon again, who smiled at the pink haired human. "Where's Dorumon?" She asked, Sora looked around to find his partner, who was in a corner.
"I'm not cute..." The purple furred Digimon said, pouting. Sora just laughed nervously at them, Dorumon sure is a handful to him. "Come on, we have to find Nokia's friends." Sora said, as Dorumon got up and walked with him.
"Off to find Agumon and Gabumon!" Nokia shouted as she ran out to find them. Takumi, Sora and their digimons had to run after her in case trouble came. She sure was determined to find Agumon and Gabumon.
"So, you're from another world?" Nokia said, interested in the reveal of Sora. The keybearer laughed nervously, nodding in response. And looking down at Dorumon who blurted out on what some of his friends from another world was doing.
"Tell me about some of your friends!" The pink haired teen said, wanting to know Sora more. So the Keyblade master decided to talk about a few of his friends.
As he was talking about Donald and Goofy, Nokia was told that they were told by their King Mickey to help out the keybearer to save the worlds. And how protective they were to him.
When informed of Riku, she was told that he was the real keybearer, but due to his impatience. He fell into the darkness and betrayed Sora, yet he never gave up on rescuing him! And he became the Keyblade master before him, rescuing him from his nightmares and becoming a thirteenth vessel.
And when she was told of Kairi, Sora said that she was from another world called Radient Garden, sent to Destiny Islands when it was being taken over. And he looked at different worlds to find her, and promised he'll bring Riku back and return to his islands.
"You're a real dedicated friend, Sora." Nokia said as she smiled. Sora replied that he had really great friends, and ready to help out people he doesn't even know yet.
They couldn't find the two Digimon on the first floor, so they went up to the next floor where Takumi raised his hand, and opened the gate to the second floor. And headed somewhere new.
Looking around, they heard somewhere that something were chasing a few digimon. "That must be Agumon and Gabumon!" Nokia shouted, running despite Sora and Takumi's protests.
"Hey, don't just stand there we have to help her!" Terriermon called out, running after her. And so they did, with Sora summoning his keyblade. Just in case it was a heartless.
As they were heading to get Nokia, three screams were heard. And one of them was Nokia's! Sora, Takumi, Dorumon and Terriermon ran faster. And saw the pink haired teen protecting Agumon and Gabumon!
They saw what scared them. It defenetly was a heartless, a Darkside! The heartless was about to smash Nokia, Agumon and Gabumon, only to be blocked by Sora's keyblade. "Sora!" Nokia shouted in relief, and backed away with Agumon and Gabumon.
"Glad you three are okay!" Takumi said as he stood next to Nokia, Terriermon and Dorumon ran next to the keyblade master. "Is this another Heartless?" Dorumon asked Sora, who nodded as he swiped his keyblade at it.
"Yes, this one was a toughest one I faced when I first fought the heartless for the first time." He explained, as Terriermon slapped it. Making the Darkside roar in anger. It laid down on it's legs, and shot out a few dark balls.
Only to have Dorumon blast out his Metal Balls to blast them to oblivion! Nokia cheered at them. And saw Agumon and Gabumon ready to help out again, only to have the Darkside to make a small shockwave. Making everyone tumble to the ground!
They all looked at it in surprise, as the Darkside wasn't going to let them have time! Sora couldn't know what to do... Until he saw his Digivice screen glowing! Takumi's Digivice was also glowing, and beams of lights headed towards Terriermon and Dorumon.
The lights hit them both, making the Darkside back away! The lights faded, showing Terriermon and Dorumon's new forms. Terriermon's new look had navy blue pants, his head and ears look like a mask now, and had gun arms. Takumi's Digivice showed Terriermon's new name. Gargomon.
Dormon's new look was pretty taller, having darker shades of purple. Now sporting larger wings, and longer claws, and a white mane on his neck. Sora's Digivice showed the name also, Dorugamon.
The Darkside tried to attack again, only to have Gargomon blast a few dozen bullets to stun it. And Dorugamon Blasting even more big and heavier balls to attack. It looked like it did the trick and Sora blast it with a fire spell. (Funny, he tried it before. Looks like it's working again.)
The Darkside looked like it was getting weaker. But still ready to fight! It tried to punch the ground to create a shockwave to get them down again. Only to be met with a new digimon's attack!
It looked like a giant bee or wasp warrior, who belonged to a young woman wearing black and yellow clothing, and having buns tied. She was next to a familiar face. Yuugo!
"Machinedramon, finish it." He said to a robotic Digimon, who then had shot out it's claws to attack the Darkside. Causing it to get knocked out! Ones and zeros surrounded it, giving Sora a chance to run towards the Darkside and pointed his keyblade to shoot out a beam of light. Destroying the Darkside!
Sora and the digimons ran to Nokia and Takumi, while Dorugamon and Gargomon turned back into Dorumon and Terriermon. Nokia hugged both Agumon and Gabumon, who were happy she was alright.
"So, they were the girl's first." The woman's coated in black and yellow said, disappointment in her voice. "I wanted them for myself..." As Nokia heard this, she was angry! And held both Agumon and Gabumon even tighter, the two digimon were surprised.
The woman walked away, her Digimon followed. Yuugo looked at his partner walking away, and looked at Sora and Company. "I'm deeply sorry, it looked like you guys were in trouble." He said. Yuugo explained that they were just checking the place, with his partner Fei.
She probably saw Agumon and Gabumon, wanting them for herself. "After all, Digimon are just Hacker's tools." He said as he walked away. This got Sora pretty angry! "They have feelings too you know!" The keybearer shouted, making Takumi, Nokia and the Digimon jump in surprise.
The keyblade master explained to Yuugo that he talked to Dorumon, his Digimon partner had not wanting to be a Hacker tool. "I may not be good at computers, but Digimon have feelings!" Sora said, making sure that Yuugo knew.
But Yuugo just walked away with his partner, making Sora growl in frustration. "Sora?" His Digimon partner Dorumon, looked at the keybearer in concern. Sora apologized for the outburst he made.
But Takumi and Nokia just wanted to let him know that they were alright. "Besides, this sounds like you've been in a computer before." Takumi said, wanting to know more.
Sora explained that the first time was when he was at Radient Garden, back when it was called Hollow Bastion that he wanted to check out Ansem the Wise's castle, and saw a computer to find out where Riku was. Only to be interupted by a certain blue creature who fell onto Ansem's computer keyboard and messing it up.
"And with Donald's temper, he tried to catch it. Only for the MCP to take us inside the computer and meeting Sark and Tron." Sora told them, Takumi was surprised at Sora's story. "Okay, seems like you've have been through a lot. But I won't pressure you anymore." Takumi said, knowing that Sora has a lot to talk about.
Just then, Sora and Takumi's Digivices rang. They answered it and the screen showed Kyoko. "You found the two Digimon your friend was worried about, good job." Their boss said, both Sora and Takumi nodded.
"I have another job for you, you need to find some Hackers who raided some accounts." She said, giving them a new case. They both accepted it! Nokia thanked Takumi, Sora and their Digimon.
She, Agumon and Gabumon went to a different direction, with Nokia saying that she'll see them back at the real world. And Takumi asked if she'll be careful, and Nokia replied with a yes.
Sometime later, they were looking around for the Account Hackers, but no dice. "What are you doing?" A familiar cold voice asked Sora. Who was scared out of his wits and got his Digivice out to give himself a helmet.
Sora turned around, seeing Rena and Leomon. The keyblade master waved at them frantically. "Oh, hello Rena!" The Keyblade master said, not wanting to get hit by Leomon again. "Nice to see you again!" Takumi and Terriermon looked surprised at Sora.
Rena looked at Takumi and Terriermon, wondering what was going on. "Hello, we're getting ready to find some Hackers who raided some accounts." Takumi said, introducing himself and his Terriermon.
"I think Leomon and I saw some masked dudes, they were suspicious." Rena explained, pointing at the direction. Takumi thanked her, but Rena insisted on joining them. Sora looked at Leomon, scared he'll punch him again.
The feline Digimon noticed this. Only to loom over the keybearer, and gave him the cold hard stare at him again. "Is there going to be a problem human?" Leomom asked, staring at the keybearer. Sora shook his head.
Rena and Leomon lead Takumi, Sora and their Digimon. Takumi noticed that Sora was scared of Leomon, he was fearless when facing the Darkside Heartless. Yet when faced with The girl and her Digimon, he was scared of them!
"I take it you met Sora before?" The goggle headed teen asked Rena, who rubbed her forehead. "Yes, he was battling a security Digimon. He had a really stupid looking avatar too." Rena said, mentioning Sora's old look.
"Stupid looking avatar?" Terriermon looked up at the keybearer, who was looking away. "Don't we have some Hackers to find?" Sora said, wanting to change the subject... Only to get hit in the head again by Leomon.
Leomon gave the Keyblade master an angry glare, while Rena called him an idiot. Takumi grinned a little bit, seeing that an hour ago. He faced the Darkside Heartless with ease, yet here he is, being scolded like he made a failing grade.
"Hey, could you shut up?" A new voice said, all of them looked ahead, seeing a person covering their face with a mask. Rena noticed the masked person, and stared at the them! "You're one of the raiders, aren't you?"
The masked person's body language changed from calm, to a look that said 'I got caught!' The masked hacker looked ready to challenge them... Only to see Leomon and pointed to where the leader was.
A few minutes later, they found a few people standing in place. "Ah, hello." A young teen in a mask called out to Sora and the group, who cautiously walked to them. "Hey, which one of you hackers is the leader?" Takumi rudely asked.
The masked teen laughed joyfully. "Yeah, here he is. Mephisto!" The masked teen introduce their leader to them, Takumi went to Mephisto, who was acting strange while mumbling.
"Hey, are you the Hacker who raids peoples' accounts?" The goggle headed teen asked. Mephisto mumbled louder. "A.. Acc... Accounts." Takumi walked to Sora, Rena and their digimons. "Yeah, he doesn't seem to be all there." Takumi told Sora.
The keyblade master looked at Mephisto, who was starting to shake violently. "Mephisto? Are you alright sir?" The masked teen asked. Sora looked concerned and walked to the Hacker.
"Accounts! Give me your accounts!" Mephisto yelled, Sora looked behind the Hacker. Something was manifesting behind him. So the keybearer summoned his keyblade, just to get ready for a heartless.
The creature appearing wasn't a heartless, but a Digimon! It appeared behind Mephisto, who walked a few steps away and fell to the floor. "Give me your accounts!" The giant red Digimon roared. Sora's Digivice showed the name, Growlmon!
Dorumon, Terriermon and Leomon stood right beside Sora. Ready to fight the Growlmon who shot a huge fireball. The keyblade master dodged in time! Dorumon shot his Metal Balls towards Growlmon's stomach, this made the red dinosaur stagger a bit.
And then Growlmon tried to get up, ready to attack to the group. Only to have locking claws with Leomon. This gave Sora an opening, he ran to the sides and jumped towards Growlmon!
The red dinosaur Digimon noticed to late, as the keyblade master attacked him at the blunt end of his keyblade! The hits were strong, Growlmon couldn't believe that a little human did that!
Distracted by the thought, Growlmon was dazed and confused. Not knowing that Sora had jumped away from the red dinosaur Digimon, and let Leomon finish the final blow. Aura surrounded the feline digimon's fist.
Leomon then punched the air, the aura turned into a lion's head! The blow struck Growlmon hard, knocking him into the air. Zeros and ones headed straight towards Msphisto, who then started come around.
His minions grabbed him by the arms, and Mephisto looked up, to see Sora and the others. He became scared, and got onto his knees, begging. "I'm sorry! I swear, I'll never take anyone's accounts ever again!" Mephisto quickly apologized.
He then gave Sora something, running away crying. His followers followed him, wondering what was wrong. The keyblade master looked at his hand to see what Mephisto gave him.
It was a medal, it was coated in purple. And it showed Dorumon, Sora showed this to his Digimon partner. Dorumon looked at the medal too, the human who made it must've had patience designing it.
But besides having himself on the medal, why would Sora show it to him? "Forgot to tell Kyoko the good news!" Sora and Dorumon heard Takumi call out, ready to call their boss. "Ms Kyoko, the mission is clear!" Takumi called happily, a screen appeared in front of him. Showing Kyoko with a proud smile.
"A good job to all of you, that means you too young lady." The detective said, notifying Rena too. The teenage girl blushed a little bit, but was happy. "It was nothing." Rena told her as the screen turned off.
"See you two later!" Takumi said as Rena and Leomon, who walked away. But not before Leomon gave Sora a punch in the head again! Dorumon just giggled a bit. "Hey! That was one amazing battle!" Someone else called out to them as they were heading to a pad to get back to the real world.
They turned around to see two people both having hoodies with a butterfly on it. Although the older teen had it around his hips while the younger of the two had it opened and had a headset on his neck.
Sora, Takumi and Terriermon all happily acknowledged this, while Dorumon was curious at the two people. "I'm Sora!" The keyblade master said, and Takumi and the two Digimon also introduced themselves.
"I'm Ryuji, and this kid here is Keisuke." The older teen introduced himself and his little friend. "So what did you two want with us?" Takumi asked, wondering what they needed. Ryuji just scratched the back of his head, and looked at Keisuke.
"My partner here was just curious at your spiky haired friend's weapon, and wanted to see it up close." The older teen said. Looking down at Keisuke, who nodded. "Okay, but you can only look at it." Sora said as he lifted his right hand, summoning his keyblade.
"Wow, that's one huge key!" The younger black haired teen said, putting his headset on and taking a picture of it. "Thank you!" Keisuke said, running to a different direction. Ryuji looked at his friend, and to look at Sora's keyblade.
"Doesn't look anything special besides being a giant key..." He said, walking away from them. This made Sora and Takumi almost forgetting to go back to the Agency, and headed back.
But Kyoko made a new ingredient in the coffee... Peanut butter! Ugh.
