Tybalt is happy the party has decided to go with him. "Good! Follow me and we will go to the hangars." "Catch ya later, Worm King! Remember to use Blessing of Protection." The rest of the party follow Tybalt out of the cantina. The two aliens stop dancing. "Hey, do you wanna know a secret?" "There's a super sexy pillow fight mode you've just got to try!" "Ooh, an SSPF. Let me get something to eat first." Wormmon goes up to the counter and orders an absurd amount of cheeseburgers by mashing the button over and over again. They nom a dozen or so cheese burgers and goes off with the aliens.
Dust, Luna, and Dante are following Tybalt through the city. While on their way, they suddenly get a voice message. "That's odd. Did we all just get a message?" They open the video, and see Shirou standing in front of some fancy modern throne. "Greetings! It is I! The grand creator! I come bearing grim news, players. You see, some hooligans have actually entered the game with the intent to shut it down! Due to their hacks, we cannot ban all of these players. So consider this Hunting Season! Players who have violated the user agreement will be marked for death with a red star appearing above their character. If you kill a player that has been marked, they will be banned from the game, and you will be rewarded with special gear, better than anything else available in the game. Best of luck to all rule abiding players!"
"...You can't be serious. This is a witch hunt! Who even reads the user agreements?!" "Damn! We have to hurry." A red star appears over their heads. "You gotta be kidding! We never did anything wrong." Several players take notice of the red stars above the party. "We're gonna have to kill our way to the hangars. I never did like other players." The party gets ready for combat as players stat to circle them. Dante activates his buff to the party's chance to dodge. "We could use that numbskull with the giant cannon right now." Meanwhile, Shirou watches the party from monitors in his base. One of his servants hands him a glass of wine. He takes a sip of wine and laughs like a creepy nerd. "It's Dante Season!"

Dust opened the video and Luna went right next to him, she got the message also but Dust didn't really care so they watched to together and saw what happened. Dust and Luna heard what Dante shouted out about user agreements and scratched his head. "We weren't supposed to read that?" Dust asked, Luna nodded a bit lost herself. "Yeah I skimmed it and I'm pretty sure we didn't do anything wrong." Dante was right Dust had read the whole thing and aside from going with a hacker apparently they didn't do anything wrong that Dust knew of, maybe it had something to do with Aria or this guy was just a jerk, either or didn't matter to Dust.
Dust grabbed both his guns and Luna took out her staff. "They wouldn't just randomly attack us right Dust?" Dust let out a small sigh. "Don't know for sure, best to be careful though and trust the weapons Keith gave u-" Dust was cut off by a chime noise and a join party Icon, the name just said Keith the same name Dust had just said, maybe it was just another player wanting to help but nope once Dust clicked that out popped the dude with his giant sword. "Yeah I heard that also, I gotta say that's a real bad move by the guys who made this world, plus I can't have you guys go and die on me, need a hand?" The insanely over powered boss asked, and he had just joined the party so he was breaking the rules and got a red star himself. "Knew I should of been a bit safer about that, meh."

The party had been marked for death on sight by the evil game creator. Whether it was for allying with Crusaders, glitching outside the map, or just because Shirou wanted an excuse to torment Dante and the others, what matters now is surviving. Fortunately, Keith was not too thrilled with Shirou's actions, and decided to fight with the party. Several medium level soldiers charge towards the group. Dante dodges one and spins around, slicing them in the neck with his sword. A tank class raises his large hammer and is about to hit Dante with a massive attack, but Dante blink strikes behind the heavy and jumps onto their back. Dante takes off their helmet and digs into their eye socket with his fingers. The heavy screams out in agony and takes a knee. Dante releases the heavy and knocks him over with a kick to the ribs.
Tybalt pulls out his rifle and fires off a rapid series of shots at the soldiers. He's hit by a fireball from a spell weaver across the road. Tybalt summons his animal companion, a large white tiger. The tiger rushes towards the spell weaver and pounces on the robed player, tearing apart their flesh. More players continue to close in. They are not the only ones who have been marked. Some have already been killed and perma banned, and some players were already receiving the new armor. If they have to fight anyone with this armor, it would prove quite a challenge. "Well, can't say I like the numbers, but I've having way to much fun to give a crap!" Dante leaps up into the air and throws a knife at one of the players. It sticks into their chest, but they are still alive. Dante pulls out a detonator and pushes the button. An explosive device on the end of the knife goes off, incinerating a small group of enemy players. "The only trouble is keeping track."
Meanwhile, Wormmon has followed the two alien girls to a private luxury suite, the kind players could only afford to own and decorate if they devoted their lives to playing the game for months on end. They enter the suite and head over to the bedroom. There's pillows all over the room. "So, are you ready? Unequip all your clothes." "Ooh, okay." The three female characters remove their gear, now down to their underwear. "So are we following the pillow fight rule book, or just gonna wing it?" "No rule book. Don't you like surprises?" One of the aliens karate chops Wormmon on the neck, and he is stunned for a few seconds. The other alien equips a stun pistol and fires a blast right at Wormmon's head, knocking them unconscious. "Sweet dreams, baby."

Dust and Luna kept to themselves like normal only attacking anyone who attacked them, sadly a lot of people still used the go for the white mage tactic so Dust had to keep Luna on guard, luckily Keith was there to even the odds. Now everyone thought Keith was just another player before he swung his sword once and took out several slightly high level enemies. "And this is the contest I have to deal with, Sheesh can't that guy come up with a better challenge." Keith said cockily as he went through more enemies slashing hacking and cutting his way through the numbers with ease. Keith activated his buff once more giving the party more attack by taking his own, luckily Luna was there and healed the remaining amount Keith needed to be back at full health.
Luna having finally figured out how magic words buffed the entire party increase attack, defense and speed by 25% each for a long time, she then just kept healing the ones who needed it and sometimes even other people with the red stars, this was good to keep others from getting the equips but really Luna was just being nice. Dust was having a harder time using his guns shooting enemies at close range, so he decided quickly screw that and pulled out his blade going the Keith route and raising all hell against his opponents.

Despite the odds, their combined might is more than enough to hold them at bay. Some of the players flee from the battle. "Now's our chance, we need to make our way south west." Tybalt throws down a spike trap and runs towards the hangars. One of the players goes after them and steps on the trap, preventing them from moving. Upon activation of the spike trap, it deploys two more nearby, and another player steps on one, creating two more. It's not long before 8 or so players are immobilized.
Shirou watches the fight on the monitors. "Damn it! How are they still alive? Wait a minute, what's Keith doing there?! He shouldn't even be in the game!" Shirou picks up a phone on his desk. "Schedule a meeting with the top developers in an hour. Somebody's getting canned for this one." Shirou puts down the phone and takes a sip of wine. "Keith... roaming the city? I want answers. But first, I have a previous engagement."
Back in the city, the party reaches the hangars. They fight their way up the stairs to the fourth floor. Tybalt points to a large red transport aircraft custom modified for combat. "That's the one. She's called the Rebel Rose." The party enters the hanger, but before they can board the Rose, they hear clapping off to the side. Out walks a woman with black hair wearing lightweight duelist garments. "And to think you made it this far. I guess you really know your video games, Dante." "And who are you? Just another idiot standing in the way?" The woman notices Keith standing next to the party. "And you must be the infamous spider killer. Tell me, what are you doing out of your cell?" Tybalt takes a few steps forward. "We've had enough of your evil ways. The Crusaders will strike you down!" Tybalt sends his white tiger after the female Duelist. The tiger pounces and bites her in the side of the neck. "One shot!"
Blood sprays out from the woman. However she is still standing. After a few seconds, the tiger falls to the ground. "Argh, what did you do?!" "You're attacks mean nothing to me. Surrender now, and I'll give you the privilege to continue playing the game as my slaves." "Is everyone in this game starting to go insane?!" Whoever she was, she definitely meant business. Here they were, so close to a space ship, and one more giant obstacle still stood in their way.

Keith looks at the women and shrugs. "You know wandering around, picking up babes and." His tone gets completely serious for a moment as his eyes glow red. "Killing whatever stands in my way, by the way you're in it." Keith said before grabbing his sword and pointing it at the women. "So guys, lady. How about you leave this lackluster tyrant to me and go on ahead, after all not like I can be banned or killed, hell I freaking live in this game." Keith said with a smile on his face, despite trying to sound Nobel Dust could see it in the bosses eye, the eye of one constantly seeking battle and he wanted to test his skills on this player herself. Dust felt a strange feeling when he thought about that, like he had experienced something similar but he just couldn't fully grasp the feeling, he ended up ignoring it.
"She's gonna stand in our way anyway, might as well all fight." Dust suggested making Keith sigh. "But I can't go full power with others here, eh whatever I'll kick her arse anyway, stupid game not letting me swear." Keith said before flipping his gun around and firing a rocket shot at the girl, but straight afterward he dissapeared vanishing into an ashy form moving before appear somewhere new, if the girl moved he'd follow and attack if she didn't he'd still attack, basically she was going to get hit.
Dust quickly activated every buff he had puting his Hp in critical but allowing him to gain a lot of power, Luckily Luna healed Dust back to full, thank goodness for white mages.

Keith made it clear he wanted to fight this battle alone. The party activates any necessary buffs and starts boarding the ship. Keith's rocket hit the Duelist, but after the explosion there was no sign of her. Keith's health drops down a little bit. The woman jumps down from the rafters above the ship. "I will warn you. It is useless to attack me. Do so at your own risk." Dante turns around and stares at the woman. He can't help but feel like he knows her from somewhere. "You there, just who the hell do you think you are?!" The woman raises her fist up and extends her fingers towards Dante, knocking him down with a psychic blast. "I am neither a Human, nor an AI in this game. I am a Goddess, and you may call me Victoria, my darling."
Somehow this game always kept getting weirder. "This is why Shirou isn't qualified to make a video game. He's an insecure pervert with too much free time living in a fantasy world creating women out of thin air." Victoria scoffs at Dante. "Shirou could never have created me. I am pure righteousness, and all who oppose me will meet their doom." Victoria equips a gold double bladed sword, covered with sacred markings and enchantments. "It's such a shame, Keith. A complicated pile of codes dying for no reason. Not that you even have a purpose." Victoria takes up a defensive stance and starts chanting, drastically increasing her defense. "Come on, Dante! Get in the ship!" Dante is awestruck by these two enigmas battling. He wants to understand more about what Victoria is talking about. A Goddess? Keith's codes? Clearly way too much was going over Dante's head, and he decides to board the ship. Tybalt gets in the cockpit and they take off in the Rebel Rose.
After leaving the city, Tybalt sets the Rose to auto pilot, flying through some of the lesser trafficked areas. "Alright. We should be safe up here. I guess now it's time to explain." "Ya, that would be nice. What do you have against this game?" Tybalt looks very concerned. "Many people have reason enough to loathe this game. They give up precious things in life just to play more. That's why the Crusaders need to protect players by shutting down the game." "That's horrifying! Who are you to choose the way other people live their life? You can't stop people from doing something just because it's bad." "You certainly have a warped aspect on life. Personal freedom over security is an unnecessary tragedy that must be prevented." Dante gets very angry with Tybalt. "Well I'm not joining your cause! I don't care if I'm marked or attacked." "You don't get it! Shirou's after you. The only thing you can do now is fight back." What started out as a day at the arcades has certainly turned out drastically different than originally planned.

"Dying huh, just wait till those guys split and I can go all out." Dust was worried about that, what did Keith mean by going all out? Was he not using his full strength now. "Neither AI nor human huh? Guess that's the same way I am, but in the end I know I'm just a large pile of code, even if I'm a bit more complicated then most, at least I'm not calling myself a god. And if you were righteous, even a little you wouldn't be fighting these kids." Keith said bluntly before activating his own buffs increasing every stat to almost their limit. "And the funny thing about this whole thing it a god vs a lowly demon who wasn't even fit to be a finished boss, lets rock." Keith said holding his blade one arm almost completely covered in ash as he created a symbol under the goddess to catch her and hold her.
Dust didn't want to leave, he wanted to know what was going on but he went after Dante dragging Luna along, Dust's main priority was his and her safety, nothing more nor less but he looked back at Keith. "Remember, you promised me a fight!" Keith smiled and nodded waiting for the girl to attack. Dust and Luna went through just as Dante was talking to Tybalt. "Look I'm no gamer, but I need to get home, Dante if this is what we have to do we have to do it, you've seen what the things in this game have done, the bandit leader, the pvp thing Wormmon for crying out loud." Dust had to agree with Tybalt but that was because this was Dust's first ever experience with a game, and its been very bad so far.

Even though Dante didn't want to admit it, their only option was to fight back. Even if it ultimately meant destroying the game forever. There was too much at stake, and Shirou had forced his hand more than enough times. "I guess it's not much of a choice. If only there was some other way." "I'll set a course to the Crusader base. With any luck, somebody will know how to slip by Shirou's defenses. We will stop him once and for all." Tybalt had personal reasons for joining the Crusade. Reasons he had not explained yet. And many other Crusaders shared his drastic belief. But could a band of renegade players take down the masterpiece of a sociopath?
With the players away in the space ship, the two of them didn't have to hold anything back. Victoria stood there, stuck in the circle. She hacks at the air with her sword, creating small psychic rifts in the air. These are practically invisible, but to come in contact would mean the complete deletion of any data that enters the space. It wouldn't take more than a few times until the rifts would completely erase one's data. "I have warned you, and yet still you show no sign of restraint. Even in death, you will prove to be a failure." Victoria breaks free from the symbol, and begins dashing back and forth to all different sides of the empty hangar. (Thinking) "Even if this demon can land a big attack, he's the one that's going to suffer the consequences. His overconfidence is responsible for his downfall." Victoria continues moving, trying to lure Keith into one of her psychic rifts. Even as powerful as they both were, there is no defense for getting deleted.
Back at Shirou's base, Wormmon is regaining consciousness. He wakes up and looks around. Wormmon appears to be outside at some kind of private pool party. His character is wearing a green two piece bathing suit and there's a large collar around their neck. Shirou is sitting in the hot tub sipping some wine. "Ah, Wormmon! So nice of you to join us." Shirou snaps his fingers. The two aliens from before drag out Aria, covered in cuts and bruises. "What did you do to her?!" "Relax! It's only a game. I just disciplined her for her crimes." "It's not a game when you've hooked players up to feel pain! You're bad news." Shirou gives Wormmon a disappointed look. "Those that choose to stand against me must be made an example of. In just a few more hours, my game is going to have an international release! That's right. Terriermon is spending millions on building specialized arcades where players can basically live there." Wormmon can't take any more and charges towards Shirou. The collar goes off, and shocks Wormmon with a near lethal shock. "Now now, we can't have you misbehaving. As long as you're wearing that collar, you can't engage me, or any of my loyal subjects in combat. So get in the hut tub and let's watch the mayhem unfold, shall we?" Shirou presses a button on a panel next to the hot tub. Several monitors come down from above, displaying various battles currently happening in the game. "It's so beautiful. And all I had to do was promise players slightly better armor."

Keith watched her cut the air before his body vanished into a ashy form allowing him to move his entire body through the attack, he stands behind it looking at the girl before smiling. "Aw and here I thought my lack of restraint was one of my most charming points. Keith watched her move from side to side of the base most likely expecting him to follow but he just laughed. "All Clear." Keith said before slamming his sword to the ground creating a large dimensional field around the hanger, the field in digital space shifted for a moment before every attack, buff and reflect skill each one had was completely nullified, even Keiths. "Call me a failure all you want, you're the cheater here with that little reflect of yours, yeah I noticed when I took my own rocket it, my health went down despite you not hitting me, now this is a new move I made, cancels any skills weapon effects and terrain effects in the area, basically we're just down to our swords, my strength vs your speed, lets see which one of use is the better program." Keith said spinning his blade around easily in one hand before pointing it at Victoria.
Dust and Luna both close their eyes wondering what exactly they could do, nothing came to mind that they could do but Dust had a special idea that seemed insane. "Hey, if he's the create of the game could he be listening to us right now?" Dust didn't want to think about it that way but it could be possible right?

Keith catches Victoria off guard, surprising her by passing by the rifts with ease. Even more to her chagrin, Keith removed all the active buffs and spells. Now, Victoria was vulnerable. She could no longer negate the attacks and deal the damage back to the user. "Mmmm, you bastard! Nobody can compare to the might of a Goddess!" Victoria rotates her double bladed sword around rapidly, creating two large cyclones next to her. The cyclones emit an incredible amount of energy, pushing everything away from Victoria. Keith can barely stay standing, as the energy from the cyclones pushes him back. Victoria stabs her sword into the ground, then places her hands inside the cyclones. Suddenly, the cyclones start pulling everything in. Bits of debris from the hangar are absorbed into the cyclones. Even Keith is being pulled in. If he's not careful, he could end up flying right into Victoria's blade, or even worse, get absorbed by one of the cyclones. "My divine righteousness shall fear no evil, nor temptation or regret. For my destiny is greatness."
Back on the Rebel Rose, the players get ready to plan their big attack. Several players teleport into the ship. One player is a large husky Warrior class with a big club and a thick moustache. "Alright, ladies! We're gonna teach that no good pile of pig crap what happens when you f*** over the players!" The players cheer. Shirou watches on from the monitors. "I create the greatest video game masterpiece in the world, and this is the way the little people view me. Why must my genius go unnoticed?" Wormmon flips Shirou the double bird. "You probably can't even spell jeaniyus!" Shirou glances at Wormmon, and smiles. "There's no need to be rude. Come on and join me." Shirou snaps his fingers. Aria's health is fully restored and she's now wearing a red bikini. "Is there ever going to be a game where women are more than just tits on legs?!" "Hmm, let me think about that. Umm, NO! Women suck at video games, but their breasts are so wonderful!" "Stop talking about breasts! That's my thing. When you do it, you sound way creepy!" "Something tells me you don't get much action. You know, REAL women in the REAL world."
Shirou doesn't look offended in the slightest. "Ehh, I've been with REAL women. And to be honest I find them flawed beyond use. Not that men are any better. The average male makes decisions with his loins first, stomach second, and mind last." "Is there anyone besides yourself that you don't hate?" Shirou thinks for a moment. "Well I like voice actors." "What about real people that you've actually met? You've become so delusional you picked an illusion over the real world." Shirou is getting agitated. "That's enough!" Shirou raises his hand to Aria and places a hex on her, inflicting poison damage over time. "The poison won't kill you as long as you stay in the hot tub. Now come on, the world is ending, and we've got front row seats." Wormmon and Aria reluctantly get in the hot tub. Shirou puts his arm around Aria, smiling like the creepy pervert he is.
The Crusaders meet up on the Rebel Rose to discuss their plan. The Warrior with the club addresses the players. "Okay, let's get right down to business. My name's Indiana. Now I see some new faces here, and we're missing a lot of good men. I guess they have already been marked and banned from the game. But we're not gonna let their sacrifice be in vain!" Dante just sits there, angry that they are going to try and shut down the game. If only Shirou wasn't involved, and they could just play as they please. But no, Dante and the others are locked inside the pods, and the only way out is to beat Shirou, LITERALLY AT HIS OWN GAME. (Thinking) "Stupid Crusade! I just wanna level up and get better gear." "We're gonna storm that little maggot's base. Most of us will attack the front gates, while an elite patrol needs to hack through the map and enter undetected." Shirou watches on from his hot tub lounge. "Undetected? Oh this is priceless!" "Now I know a lot of people don't think we even stand a chance, but nobody important ever got anywhere by giving up, except Paul Revere. Both battalions will be in constant contact with the remaining crew on the Rose. Now who's ready to blow it out Shirou's pale skinny ass?!"

Keith watched the women say things like that but while he was being dragged he just felt the need to be a cocky jerk for a moment. "You really have no shame in saying things like that do you? I'm honestly surprised." Keith said stabbing his blade into the ground to hold himself, but sadly he found himself sliding towards the cyclones at a fast pace, he knew what to do though and spun around throwing his blade with as much force as he could at her, and missed going right past her head, though this looked like Keith just royally screwed up in the next moment Keith vanished in a flash of blue using one of the most basic warrior skills called point break to appear where he sword was, he landed behind Victoria spinning around in a instant attempting to cut straight through her with one cut, even if he missed he would still stop the cyclones since she'd have to move to dodge his attack.
Dust and Luna stuck by Dante themselves not knowing what exactly was going on but decided to follow since they kinda wanted to get home, Dust had to figure out where that Alphamon was and Luna had to think of more ways to get Dust to admit she was his girlfriend, both had very busy days ahead, though for Dust both meant far more busy days for him sadly.

Things were looking good for Victoria. Keith had lost his sword after a near hit to the face, and was being sucked into the energy cyclones. To Victoria's surprise, Keith teleported to his sword, and stuck a devastating blow from behind. The cyclones disappear, and Victoria falls to the ground, blood gushing out of her back and side. It won't be long until her health hits zero. Without her buffs, she was too vulnerable. Victoria flinches on the ground in a pile of blood. She gasps for air and struggles to speak. "So it is then. Keith, my time in this world, has come to an end." Victoria coughs up some blood. "But my destiny has been fulfilled. I am, but one. The Goddesses, they have returned. And no world is safe, from our wrath!" Victoria's health is critical, one more attack would delete her for good. She struggles to sit up, and slowly points to Keith. "It is you, who must suffer the enteral prison. Farewell, Ronin."
The Crusaders are on their way to Shirou's base. This map wasn't intended for players to just roll in like a dungeon. With NPCs set to ridiculously high levels, Shirou designed his base to be a dozen times more difficult than even the most frustrating MMO bosses. Tybalt sets the Rebel Rose to auto pilot, and meets with Luna, Dust, and Dante in the control room. "Well, it won't be long now. We might not even have a shot, but he have to try. You three are going to be part of the stealth team, seeing as how Dust is by far the best hacker here." This confuses the party. "But, Dust isn't a hacker at all..." Tybalt is confused. "You don't have to play dumb. Everybody cheats." "No, really. We never did anything!" "Really? But, Dust's profile shows a whole bunch of modified content. Stuff that not even our best players can figure out how to get."
Dante gets an idea. "Hey Dust, when you first put on the helmet, it did something weird, right?" Tybalt is shocked. "But it can't be... Indiana, you should come in here!" Indiana comes walking in slowly. "Ya, what do you want?" "I think Dust is, the chosen one." *Shirou while watching* "Dust..." Indiana doesn't seem too convinced. "Well why don't I just take a closer look?" Indiana opens up Dust's profile. After looking for a bit, he gets really excited. "Ya alright! He's here! You're the one that bypassed the game's security wall!" "Wait, so what does this mean?" "It means, Dust can't be debuffed or blocked by the game's programmers directly. He can also move through the game undetected by their servers." Things were finally looking up for the Crusaders. "Looks like we have a chance after all."

Keith looked at Victoria for a few moments holding his blade in the air, he had already made peace with the fact he was going to stay here forever, he was never real anyway so might as well just live, breath and die in this place without ever knowing what people were really like, still was this right? This is what he wanted wasn't it, two of the most advanced programs on the game fighting and one killing the other. Keith raised his blade high in the air staring down at Victoria before throwing his sword down, next to her head. "I'm not going to kill you, no you don't get off that easy." Dust said pulling his sword back out and using a faint heal spell on her to keep her from dying. "No instead you get to live with the fact that I, a mistake beat you, live with it." Keith said swinging his sword around putting it back in its sheath before walking off not even bothering to look at her. "Regret it already" He thought quietly to himself as he kept walking.
Dust just watched what people kept talking about, this was confusing him beyond anything, he gave a small nod to Dante but everything else was just something he didn't know, what was a hacker? "Ahh good chosen one and all." He said before leaning over to Luna. "Hey Luna do you have any idea what they're talking about?" Luna shrugged not knowing anything about gamer language nor anything about systems, was it becasue he was a Digimon here? If so wouldn't Luna and Wormmon be the same? This was just weird. "So just a chance huh?" That part concerned Dust far more then he wish it did.

To Victoria's surprise, Keith chose to spare her life. He restored some of her health, but also delivered some harsh words intended to stir up Victoria's anger. Most Goddesses would have the class to resist such a jab, but Victoria was quick to anger and held grudges. "A failure, I underestimated you." Victoria must now decide where to go from here. Would she get involved with the siege? Was there a way for her to leave the game? With so many questions, and not enough answers, Victoria decides to pay Shirou a little visit soon.
The Rebel Rose has almost arrived at Shirou's base. Dante talks to Tybalt one last time before they go into battle. "It's really happening. Why do you want this?" "People shouldn't be wasting their lives in a video game all the time. Any Crusader will tell you that." "Yes, but why you? Don't bulls*** me, you have a very important reason for doing this." Tybalt looks very grim. He grinds his teeth back and forth. "Alright, I'll tell you. My older brother, he was really into MMOs. It wasn't long before he was playing more than 12 hours a day, every day. He gave up everything in life, for a game. Then one day, we found him dead. Died of a heart attack while playing for more than 14 hours straight. When I heard about this game, and how people were devoting their lives to playing, I knew I had to stop it. I had to do something, for my brother. It's just a stupid game..."
Dante might have bitten off more than he can chew. "I'm sorry. That is a tragedy..." Tybalt looks up at Dante. "So can we trust you? If it comes down to nut-cutting time, will you flip the switch, and delete the game forever?" Tybalt was really putting Dante in the hot seat. Dante didn't want to delete the game at all, just defeat Shiro and get out. He didn't want to never play the best game ever made again. At this point, Dante missed getting beaten up on the sidelines in Digimon battles. He enjoyed playing the game, but he was missing out on being a Tamer. "Yeah. You can count on it." The Rebel Rose approaches Shirou's newly christened Super Death Fortress, of Doom. Or whatever that little weasel want to call it, to flatter his own ego. Indiana hands the three party members a parachute to equip. "You'll be jumping out ahead of time. Dust, you can use what you got to mask the party's appearance from Shirou and his goons. Make you're away around the left side, and reach the lake. From there, glitch through a wall, and you're in. Are you ready?" "Yeah." "Alright." Indiana opens the exit ramp and pushes Dante out of the ship.
