"Uggh...somebody please put the curtain on..." Tamaki mutters before he turns around, unaware of the feeling of grass touching his skin. All he cares about right now is to get enough rest after dealing with Mirio for a whole day.

"You're strange!" Tamaki snapped his eyes open as he heard an unfamiliar voice. In front of him is a canine with a very tiny body and a huge head wearing a long coat that was too big for it to wear, a large hat, and a pair of goggles with red lenses. No, it's a red symbol attached to its lenses. He also notices that the creature has purple fur with a pair of cables attached to its back. "But then again, this is the first time I met a human."

"...are you one of the quirk animals like Midoriya's Henry and Haku?" Tamaki mutters. He may not look like it, but he pays attention to most people's conversations. Unlike Mirio who's too excited to join in any conversations but tends to forget half of it.

"Quirk animals? Ah, you mean the weird rumors spread around Japan ever since the first official quirk animal, Nedzu, the current principal of UA, made it into the front news!? Nah, we're more than just that. Whoever this Midoriya is, must either misunderstand his partners or he knows but chooses to hide it!" The creature exclaimed.

Tamaki thought that the latter part made much more sense. During the ride to the camp, something that still traumatized Tamaki till now, he noticed how uncomfortable it was every time Mirio cluelessly called them 'quirk animals'. He knows they're much more than just mere quirked animals.

"So, who are you?" Tamaki asked as the creature grinned.

"The name's Offmon! I'm your chosen Appmon partner!" The creature, Offmon, exclaimed as Tamaki blinked.

"...can I get more explanation?" Tamaki asked as Offmon grinned.

"Of course!" Offmon said. "I'm what everyone calls an Appmon, short for Appli Monster, a living creature made out of complex coding language, a subspecies of Digimon, a creature made out of binary codes and wireframes." Offmon pats his chest. "Each Digimons and Appmons are different. Basically, in simple but rude terms, it's like how humans differentiate animals"

"Ooh..." Tamaki mutters before staring at Offmon, who looks confused. Suddenly, Tamaki starts rubbing the Appmon's head, much to the little guy's confusion but he didn't hate it. "What do you mean by partner?"

"O-oh, right!" Offmon suddenly pulls out a device that looks like a phone but with an empty slot in the center, covered with a glass casing. "Here you go! Your Digi-Drive! I found it next to you!"

"Digi-Drive?" Tamaki mutters while looking at the device.

"It's an item that can be used by humans to assist their Digimon partners! Each of them can only be used by a chosen human, except if a higher being decides otherwise." Offmon shrugs, oblivious to Tamaki's incredulous expression. "You can use Appmon chips to either summon your Appmon partners or do Appmon Gattai!"

"Appmon Gattai? Appmon can fuse? Like Fusion Dance?" Tamaki asked as Offmon face faulted.

"D-don't compare us with that! We don't need to pull a dance to do it!" Offmon was flustered as Tamaki rubbed his head.

"Ah, sorry," Tamaki mutters before petting his head, calming down Offmon.

"...I'm going, to be honest, I thought you'd freak out," Offmon said as Tamaki shrugged.

"When you read enough Isekai Light Novels, you tend to get prepared for things like this.: Tamaki admits. "Also, seeing how close Midoriya is with his partners, Henry and Haku, I can't help but be a bit jealous. Sure, I have a friend, but sometimes, he can be a bit overbearing. Not to mention, my parents didn't exactly care if Mirio was too much. He was nice, but sometimes, I wish he could...let me be alone just for a day."

"...you two sound close." Offmon comments.

"We are, but I wish he could tone his attitude down." Tamaki rubs his head. "And seeing how Midoriya and his partner's relationships, I can't help but feel a bit envious. They care for each other, but they also respect each other that they support each other. Mirio is nice, but sometimes I wish he would at least...let me enjoy what I want instead of what he and my parents want me to enjoy."

"Ooo," Offmon said as he sat down next to Tamaki. "Well, I would love to experience things that you enjoy."

"...sure," Tamaki said with a smile before he looked around, noticing that he was near a cave at the cliff. "Ummm, I may be too late to ask, but where are we?"

Offmon stares at his partner before he starts to burst out laughing. Tamaki flustered a bit before he started chuckling and laughing.

[Digital World]

"Hey, wake up! Come on! You can't sleep in here!" Itsuka blinks rapidly as she rubs her eyes, her vision slowly returning. As she opened her eyes, she saw a blue bipedal robot standing on two feet with spiky hair, a tail, ear-like horns, and small fangs. It wore a black T-shirt and metallic gloves. Itsuka notices the white x-mark runs from its face to its stomach and a pair of cables attach on its back.

"W-wha...?" Itsuka groans as she holds her head. She stares at the creature for a while before she slaps her cheek with a pair of semi-enlarged hands. This of course caused her to yell in pain and made the creature panicked.

"W-why did you do that!?!? Don't harm yourself like that!!!" The creature said in a panicked tone as he tried to caress the now bruised cheeks. Itsuka can't help but find the situation awkward but she also find the little guy's action somewhat sweet.

"Sorry, I thought I was dreaming." Itsuka mutters while the little guy was confused.

"Why do you think so?" The little guy asked.

"Well, you don't seem to be real." The little guy froze at Itsuka's words before going to the corner with a depressed expression.

"Am I that ugly to the point that people think that I'm not real?" The little guy mutters, causing Itsuka to panic.

"T-that's not what I mean! What I mean is I never saw someone with your appearance!" Itsuka tries to clear the misunderstanding but it seems the little guy misunderstood it even more as he lowers his head.

'Oh, god! He misunderstood things even more! And why is this so familiar!?' Itsuka thought before getting up and approaches the poor guy. "I...I should word it better, what I mean is that I only ever saw humans in my life. So, seeing you was completely new to me."

"O-oh!" The little guy flushed as he rubs the back of his head. "I misunderstood your words, sorry."

"No, no...I should also try to watch my words." Itsuka replies. "How about we start from the beginning? My name is Itsuka Kendo."

"Oh, I know that, because I'm your partner!" Itsuka blinks.

"My...partner?" Itsuka asked.

"Mhm! The name's Dokamon! The action Appmon!" The little guy exclaimed while bumping his chest with his metallic gloves.

"...wut?" Itsuka never felt so confused in her life. What did she get herself into!? She hopes she could find a human here because this is just too weird for her.

[Digital World]

"GUYS!!!" Izuku wakes up with his hand outstretch, panic written in his face. This causes Haku and Henry yelp in shock next to him. "What-?! Where am I!? What was that light!!?? Is everyone-!?"

"Izuku, I need you to calm down!" Henry said as he placed his clawed hand on Izuku's arm. Izuku manages to calm himself down before he pulls Henry and Haku into a hug.

"Oh, god. You guys are okay..." Izuku mutters in relief. "When I saw that light covers everyone, I-I thought something bad was going to happen to all of us..."

"W-we're fine, Izuku..." Henry mutters before nuzzling his cheek. Haku also joins in.

"But, we might not be. We should get out of here." Haku stated, getting Izuku's attention.

"What do you mean by..." Izuku stops himself as he looks around in awe. Around him is something that he could only think existed from a science fiction movie. Everything around him, the ceilings, the walls, the ground, is nothing but transparent blue with circuit lines flowing around each area, glowing rectangular objects move around the area, and energy flows through the circuit lines.

"What is this place?" Izuku mutters in shock.

"Izuku...welcome to the Digital World," Haku said as Izuku looked around in awe.

"This place...is amazing..." Izuku mutters in awe.

"Don't be fooled, Izu," Henry stated. "This place has a lot of beauty, but dangers are always hidden in places no one would expect."

"Yeah..." Izuku frowns, remembering a certain incident he hates so much. "Let's find a way to get out of here."

"Yeah, about that..." Haku mutters, getting Izuku's attention. "Both of us take turns to explore the area while you're unconscious. One of us stays to keep you safe while another looks for exits. So far...no sign of exits."

"...let's go and check again. Maybe now there's three of us, we could find anything we might've missed." Izuku suggested as Haku and Henry nodded. Both hop onto Izuku's shoulders and they start to walk around. As they walk, Izuku observes the surroundings, watching the energy flows through the circuits around the area.

After quite a while, they seem to be unable to find the exits, which always leads to a dead end, much to their frustration. Izuku rubs his forehead as he tries to think of something that might give them the answers they need. He then saw the light move again, and he looked annoyed before he saw the rectangular objects seem to move in a particular direction.

"..." Izuku narrow his eyes as he looks at every object seems to move towards the opposite direction of where they facing. "Guys, I may have an idea."

"...please, I'm too exhausted to think of any idea right now." Henry mutters.

"What even is this place? I visit the Digital World several times but I never find this place." Haku mutters. Izuku decided to follow the weird glowing rectangular objects. They continue to walk before they saw the object leads to anothe dead end.

Izuku was about to scream in frustration before he noticed that the object seemingly entered the supposed 'dead end' and disappeared. The trio blinked in shock before Izuku decided to touch it, surprised when the wall created a ripple effect. Izuku tries to push through it but it feels like trying to push through a wall made out of jello. Izuku blinks before he playfully pokes the wall, creating multiple ripples. Henry and Haku could only stare at their partner in a deadpan manner, sweat drop at the back of their heads.

"So...we all agree that there's something behind this, right?" Izuku asked as both nodded, their deadpan expression remaining.

"J-just,...just stay back, Izu..." Henry said before he jumped off Izuku's shoulder and stabbed the wall. To their surprise, it manages to damage it, but they also notice that it'll take a while to pierce through it. They can't help but think it looks like when they stab their spoon on Inko's jellos.

"Henry, let's try Needle-Point Dive!" Izuku said as Henry nodded as he curled into a ball, and spun in place before launching towards the wall. A huge ripple starts to come out of the impact and blue electricity starts to spark from the wall before it bursts. Izuku saw Henry get knocked back and caught him before he covered both of his partners.

Izuku opens his eyes before he sees something that horrifies him to the core. In front of him is a dark room, a large hole at the center of the room as the objects Izuku saw earlier fly towards said hole. At the ceiling, there are tons of cables coming out, attached to something at the center of the room. Izuku widened his eyes in horror when he saw that it was a creature attached to those cables.

The creature is unrecognizable, its body completely covered in black metal plating. One of its eyes is a robotic eye with dried blood on it, and another is a real eye, with a yellow iris. The creature also has a red helmet with a pair of spikes and a magnifying glass attached to the helmet's left side.

"W-what...?" Henry mutters as his face turns pale. Haku didn't fare any better as he started shaking in horror.

"W-who...?" Haku mutters in horror.

Suddenly, Izuku's Digivice glowed and showed a holographic screen of a bipedal cat with two pairs of mechanical limbs, a red helmet with a magnifying attached on its left side, and a pair of cables attached on its back.

[Name: Gatchmon]

[Grade: Standard]

[Type: Social]

[Appli: Search]

[Power: 1500]

[Attacks:

- Deep Search

- Gatch Claw]

Izuku was even more horrified when he saw that the Gatchmon in front of him looked almost nothing alike if not for its yellow eye and red helmet. Rage bubbled up from his chest as he grits his teeth in anger, wondering who's the sick twisted bastard who did such a cruel thing. The Gatchmon seems to notice their presence as his right eye widens.

"A...hHuMAn...#?" The poor creature croaks painfully, shattering Izuku's heart even more. At the same thing, he can't help but think, what's going on in the Digital World!?
