DracNos decides to ditch Dante and Wormmon in the basement and fly up the elevator shaft. "Oh come on! You can't leave us down here." The broken bunny bots slowly approach the two. "Can't you digivolve and destroy these things?" "I can't! I haven't eaten anything since the last time I went Ultimate. I can't even digivolve to Stingmon right now." The bunny bots raise their machine gun arms and unload on Dante and Wormmon. Dante picks up Wormmon and runs behind a pile of boxes. "Oh boy, we're playing cat and mouse, and we are the mice!" "Bunny and Worm doesn't have the same ring to it."
Meanwhile, Shirou and Judith arrive in Shirou's luxury suite. The lights are dimmed low, and there's a bed covered with rose petals. Shirou checks the main computer. "Looks like something happened to the elevator. Well, it's going to be just the two of us for a while." Shirou grabs a bottle of champagne and pops the cork. "Uh, is this some kind of ruse to get some alone time?" "No, no, of course not! Now let's dance provocatively and shake our nether regions around really close to one another." Shirou uses a remote to turn on some lame techno music. He starts dancing and grinding on Judith, while she just stands there. "You are pathetic." Judith grabs Shirou by the shoulders and knees him right in the crotch. Shirou falls to the floor and rolls around in pain. Judith grabs the champagne and sits down on the bed.

The bats flew up the long shaft, eventually making it to the floor he could hear a familiar girls voice. His bats phased through the metal door effortlessly before they swarmed together to reform the vampiric digimon. "You two kooky kids having fun?" he asked, examining the suite, staring at both humans, "huh, a bit TOO much fun, I see." he muttered, walking over and crouching down to Shirou's level, staring him in the eyes, "YOU sir, have the face of someone who can't get a clue," he stated, before hopping up to the bed, with Judith, he immediately.grabbed some of the rose petals and stuck them in his mouth, "tastes like perfume, hey, does this place have a tv? Also," he said, tugging at Judith's arm in a childish manner. "Your bro's fighting bunny bots downstairs, thought you should know that." he reported, scanning the apartment for a broadscreen and a remote.

Shirou struggles to get up, nearly biting through his lip in pain. "We don't need you crashing our private time together!" "Oh please! If you like someone, just ask them out. You don't kidnap them and torture their family." Shirou walks over to the main computer. "Keramon, execute emergency plan B06 Alpha."
"01011001 01100101 01110011 00100000 01010011 01101000 01101001 01110010 01101111 01110101 00101110 00100000 01000100 01100101 01110100 01100001 01101001 01101110 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101001 01101110 01110100 01110010 01110101 01100100 01100101 01110010 00101110"
The computers around the room start to flash bright yellow lights. A cylindrical energy field appears around DracNos, trapping him inside. "I went to a lot of trouble setting up this trap, and I'm not going to let anyone interfere." "Give it a rest! Even if you did have a chance with me, there's no way I would go out with you now." "But, you don't even know the real me! How can you judge me before you even give me a chance?" "Because so far all you've done is torment the only people who can stand being around you for more than 5 minutes, and you manipulate them for your own psychotic games!" "Oh, and yet you'll hang out with the Handsome Boys! Those four are just as wicked and sinister as I am. You're just a shallow floozy with no taste whatsoever." Judith walks over to Shirou and gets up in his face. "You're going to let DracNos go, and let all of us leave so we never have to put up with your mind games ever again!"
Meanwhile, Dante and Wormmon are running for their lives, fleeing the machine gun wielding rabbit like machines. Dante climbs up a stack of obsolete computers, and pushes a pile of machinery over on top of one of the bots. Wormmon shoots a silk thread up to the ceiling, and crawls over to the other side. Another bot takes fire at Dante. He jumps down and hides behind a crate full of old dvds. "This doesn't look good. Just what is going on?!" "These robo fur balls belong in the junk yard. Come on, who wants a piece of the Worm King?!"

"Whoop! Shiny!" he remarked, tapping the field surrounding him, "so, uh, you were planning to have a romantic evening with "Mister Math Problem"? Speaking of which... Hey! Tentacolino!" he called to Keramon, waving. "We're kinda related, you know that? We both started as hands, right? We're basically brothers! And just so you know, I believe that my brother shouldn't work for a lonely nerd with a serious need to overcompensate." Drac pouted, worriedly towards who he now thoroughly believed was his brother.

Shirou approaches the caged DracNos. "So, are you good at math? I have been studying you, DracNos. I couldn't find any data on you in my system. You really are quite the interesting specimen. But you are a rebel without a cause. You need to be challenged, your mind needs to be challenged." Shirou snaps his fingers, and Keramon downloads DracNos's data into the computer system. "01000111 01101111 01101111 01100100 00100000 01101100 01110101 01100011 01101011 00100000 01100010 01110010 01101111 01110100 01101000 01100101 01110010" "He's not your brother."
DracNos appears in a large empty room full of pink smoke. There are four doors, and two keys on the ground. Each door is numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. Shirou's voice is heard inside DracNos' head. "Two of the four doors are correct. Place the keys in the correct doors, and you will go free. If you choose wrong, you will be electrocuted severely. the clues are as followed:"
1. The sum of the correct doors is not an even number. 2. Door 3 cannot be correct if either door next to it is. 3. The sum of the two doors is not divisible by three.
Judith rolls her eyes at Shirou. "What are you up to now, nerd?" "I just gave him a simple brain teaser. I thought about using this as part of my trap, but I knew Dante was too smart to be challenged by it." Shirou pours a bottle of champagne into two glasses. "Now, will you at least pretend to enjoy our time together?" "Well, you did go to a lot of trouble setting up this trap. Your problem is your negative qualities completely outshine whatever tiny little positive qualities you may have." "Yes, well, I am working on that. It's not easy being a genius in a world full of subpar organisms."

"Aw, you're so sweet" Drac said, as he faded into the illusion. He listened politely to the instructions "I won't do it for free, first, you gotta answer MY riddle, then I'll consider it." he replied to the voice in his head. Not waiting for a response, he asked, "what is my name based off of?" he asked, waving his claws at the pink mist, intrigued by it. "Is this evaporated food coloring or something?" he couldn't help but ask, wafting the scent of it towards himself "hey, can you hear me right now? Am I in your head? What If I never stop talking? Are you gonna get drunk? Is this a simulation? Does that forcefield of yours hurt when I touch it?" he continued, leaning back and forth, before pausing. "What was the question again?" he wondered, now wandering towards into the pink mist, not watching where he was going.

Shirou's voice replies. "Your name? Erm, I'm assuming Dracula, considering your similarities to a vampire. I wouldn't stay in that room for very long. The pink smoke is toxic to inorganic lifeforms." Shirou and Judith drink champagne, slowly becoming tipsy. "If you think getting me drunk is going to make me forget how evil and psychotic you are, I'm afraid this was all for nothing." "Maybe so, but you could at least play along. I've never kidnapped a girl as beautiful as you before." "Settle down, boy. And watch your hands!" Shirou gets up and goes to the computer console. A tray of strawberries and whipped cream appears from one of the machines in the room. "Just what were you expecting to happen?" "Nothing. I just like sugary snacks is all. I will respect your personal space. You look like you're getting hot. Maybe you should take your shirt off?" "Are you telling me you don't have AC up here?" "It's, uh, broken."
Judith gets up and eats a strawberry. "You really went all out trying to impress me. Some day you'll find a girl who can tolerate your huge flaws. Like your narcissism, and your creepy face." "I was hoping that girl would be you. Can you blame me for trying to seduce you? When I watched you singing, it was like you were the only girl in Japan I wanted to be with. And when you kissed me last night, it messed with my head. I couldn't tell if you liked me, or were just teasing me. I couldn't stop thinking about you, so I had to at least try something." Judith looks sad. "Maybe I shouldn't have kissed you. I admit, I was just trying to mess with your head. But I didn't think you would go back to your evil ways." "I'm sorry, this whole trap just proves how worthless and pitiful I am. I'll never be attractive to women, even with all my money and success."
Meanwhile, Dante and Wormmon are fleeing from the broken down bunny bots in the basement. Wormmon shoots a silk thread at one of the bots, tangling it up. Another bot fires up at Wormmon, knocking over the boxes he is standing on. Wormmon falls and lands hard on the floor. "This is crazy! We've gotta destroy these stupid rabbits!" Dante goes up to the bunny bot he took out earlier. He lifts up one of their machine gun arms and breaks it off. Two bunny bots walk towards Dante and raise their guns. Dante shoots at the bots with the machine gun while running around the basement.
Wormmon climbs up a pile of outdated computers and jumps down on one of the bots. The Worm King takes a giant bite out of the bots neck. The bunny bot frantically flails around, firing in all directions. The gunfire ignites an old computer, starting a fire in the basement. "Quick! Go up the stairs." Dante and Wormmon run over to the door. Dante continues firing on the bunny bots. The fire continues to spread, engulfing the bunny bots in flames. Dante and Wormmon open the door and run up the stairs.

"You're half-right," DracNos replied, standing up and walking away from the poisonous mist, "...but what about the other half of my name? The N-O-S? I'll give you one more shot" he said, reasonably, before overhearing the conversation between the two, "playing with people's emotions? I haven't tried that before, hey, bro. Can you hear me? Long as I'm here, wanna chat? It'll waste some time and likely be pointless, how 'bout it?" He asked, calling out to Keramon. "Have you digivolved yet? What was it like?" He asked, evidently believing he was now speaking to Keramon.
"I forgot the question anyways, so. How'd you even start working with a geek like this? A rookie as powerful as yourself would, at the very least, get some badass burly partner, but, you still deserve even better, living free, with no rules or restrictions! No orders! A life ripe for the taking!" He ranted, pacing back and forth in his little chamber, "say, after we're said and done here, if you still want to stay, that's fine, but how about ONE night, where I show you this city, up close and personal, maybe snack on some abandoned USB's, spook some dumb kids, attend a costume party!? The choices are endless! Again, completely your choice, and I understand if you don't want to, or can't, at the very least, I wanna hear your story. How you got here, and again, how you met the human, if you want, I could tell you MY story first."

It goes silent inside the computerized room. Shirou is too busy trying to get in Judith's pants to listen to DracNos. Keramon decides to pop in and talk to DracNos. "01011001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01110011 01101000 01101111 01110101 01101100 01100100 00100000 01100001 01101110 01110011 01110111 01100101 01110010 00100000 01110001 01110101 01101001 01100011 01101011 01101100 01111001 00101110 00100000 01000010 01110101 01110100 00100000 01100111 01101111 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101111 01110101 01110100 00100000 01101111 01101110 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101111 01110111 01101110 00100000 01100100 01101111 01100101 01110011 00100000 01110011 01101111 01110101 01101110 01100100 00100000 01100110 01110101 01101110 00101110."
Unlike other Digimon, Keramon only spoke in binary. Shirou was the only one who could understand what they were saying. Although it seems like Keramon is interested in striking up a friendship with the Rookie. It was probably a good idea to solve the riddle, and pick the two correct doors. "01000011 01101000 01101111 01101111 01110011 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01100100 01101111 01101111 01110010 01110011."
Dante and Wormmon reach the top of the stairs. Dante opens the door and walks out into a large empty room. This was only the second in a series of challenges Shirou had thrown in their way to buy time. A large light shines down in the center of the room, illuminating a red circle on the ground. "What do you think this room is for, Dante?" "Bah, I have no idea. Another one of Shirou's "genius" ideas." Bits of data begin to materialize. A gigantic sumo wrestler appears inside the circle. "Oooooo, I am sumo wrestler! I squash puny foes!" "Come on, seriously?! How are we going to fight a sumo wrestler? And isn't his speech pattern offensive?" "Oooo, so sorry you offended by way sumo talk. Maybe broken bones take mind off cliché cultural stereotypes." "Shirou must've programmed this big guy with a sense of humor."

Drac pulled out his cell phone, peering at his binary translator which recorded what Keramon just said, he pressed translate, and peered at the words of his supposed brother, "It's a date, then, brother o' mine" he replied, reading the translated numbers. "Alright, alright, just one more question from me before I start, what kind of metal is this floor?" he asked, tapping his clawed foot in the ground, and, on that subject, what about the ceiling?" he continued, pointing upwards.

Keramon looks down at the floor, then up at the ceiling. The Virus Digimon shakes his head at DracNos. Keramon places its hand on DracNos' head, digitally communicating with his counterpart. "Bzz-rruwaa-zrr... You won't be able to escape. The only way out is to pick the correct doors. Think about the clues. The sum is an odd number, Door 3 can't be correct if either door next to it is, and the sum is not divisible by 3. There's only 6 possible combinations... zzrruwaah!"
Dante and Wormmon look up at the sumo wrestler. "Come on, Dante! You can take him." "Why can't you just digivolve and blast this chump?" "Well maybe if I had something to eat. I think I'd rather face this sumo in an eating contest." Dante raises the machine gun and fires at the sumo. The bullets deal some damage, but the gun runs out of ammo. "Oooooo you gonna pay for that, tiny!" "Great. What are we going to do now?" The sumo charges towards Dante, trying to land a powerful punch. Dante dodges out of the way. He takes up a fighting stance and kicks the sumo in the leg, but it doesn't do much. "Years of Taekwondo, and for what?"
Shirou and Judith are enjoying their time drinking champagne in the top room of the tower. "Haha, I can't believe Dante's down there fighting while I'm up here relaxing. You really know how to have a good time." "That's right. Sit back from a position of power while everyone plays by your rules. Stack the deck and control the playing field so there's no surprises. Do you want to take a look?" Shirou turns on a large monitor showing the fight. The sumo picks up Dante and throws him across the room. Judith bursts out laughing.
"Ah haa haha ha! That is priceless!" "I like hanging out with Dante. He's a cool cat. But it's funny seeing him get his ass kicked every one in a while." "Maybe it is good to be bad." Judith puts her hand on top of Shirou's and looks in his eyes. "You're not just teasing me again?" "No. Let's just see where things go from here." Was it the alcohol, or seeing her brother get his ass kicked? Judith was falling for the squeaky voiced, sociopathic, video game obsessed, narcissistic, super nerd with no social skills. This could not possibly end well.

"All right, all right, FINE" he said, conceding defeat, as he walked towards numbers 1 and 4, unlocking them, he had already did the math in his head, he just wanted to have a chat before finishing it. He unlocked number 4 first, before walking towards the first. "What's behind door number one? He asked himself, turning the key, confidently, he then yelled at Shirou "Hey! Weebstick! I'm done!" he shouted as loudly and as irritating as he could. The key then clicked.

DracNos had chosen the correct doors. The first clue eliminated 1 and 3, 2 and 4, the second eliminated 2 and 3, 3 and 4, and the last clue eliminated 1 and 2. The lights in the room start to shine really bright. In a flash of light, DracNos and Keramon appear downtown outside of a Chicken Hut. DracNos uses the binary translator to understand Keramon. "I teleported us to the city so we could have some fun out on the town. I hope Shirou is not displeased."
The lights start to flash in Shirou's HQ. The screen displaying the fight turns to static. Shirou jumps up and runs to the main computer. "What's going on?! Keramon! Keramon?! This doesn't look good." Without Keramon connected to Shirou's mainframe, the super nerd wouldn't be able to activate any of the computer's features. "Just great. I can't control anything right now. I guess I'll have to call my assistant and ask her to bring up some more food. Whatever DracNos is up to, I don't like it."
Dante runs away from the giant sumo wrestler. "Come back here so I can break you in half!" "What's the matter? Too slow, you tub of lard?!" The sumo goes for a punch, knocking Dante back. Wormmon fires a Sticky Net at the sumo wrestler's face. The sumo tries to rip the web off, but gets his sausage like fingers stuck to his face. Dante goes behind the sumo and jumps up, landing a high kick to the back of the head. The sumo goes down to one knee. Wormmon continues firing silk thread, tying the sumo down. Dante jumps on top of the sumo and locks him in a rear naked choke. Unable to get up, the sumo tries to shake Dante off, but Dante hangs on. The sumo slowly runs out of breath, and disappears in a fog of data. "Woo way to go, Dante! We kick ass." Dante stands up and takes a few deep breathes. "That was, crazy. Come on, let's go see what Shirou has in store for us next." Dante and Wormmon open the next door and take the stairs up to the next challenge.

"Alright! We own this city!"Drac declared, pumping his fists in the air, "So!" he said,as he spun abruptly to face Keramon, " "what can I do ya for?" that's street talk for "what do you wanna do?" sorry if that confused ya, anyways, the options are as follows: A) messing with humans B) explore the city C) amusement park, or D) something else you can think of." he stated, counting the options on his finger, "or we can just eat?" he offered, staring at the chicken hut.

Keramon responds to his new partner in crime. "Mess with humans. But first I would like some food." The two rebels go inside the Chicken Hut for some, well, chicken. Keramon flies into the back and starts stuffing his face with food. The workers scream in shock as this freaky looking virus makes a mess of the place. After eating his fill, Keramon uses his cables to start making machines go haywire. The freezer gets a surge of electricity and combusts. The grill gets so hot it starts a fire. People are panicking as Keramon flies out to cause more mayhem.
Keramon flies down the street, messing with everything electronic. Street lights start rapidly changing colors. People's cell phones go off for no reason. Street lights overcharge with electricity and their bulbs burst as Keramon flies by. Keramon enters an electronics store. He charges several TVs with electricity, making them levitate and fly around the room. Keramon's face appears on the monitors, laughing sinisterly. The monitors chase unsuspecting people around the store. "All this time, being so obedient and serving my Tamer. Listening to his every command to further his agenda. Finally, I am the one creating chaos! Shirou would have never created all of his inventions if it wasn't for me. I deserve some fun every now and then for being so loyal."
Shirou is scrolling through files on his computer, trying to get things functioning properly without Keramon. He notices strange energy signals coming from downtown. "This has gotten out of hand. Has Keramon gone on a rampage? No, not now! My brilliant plan is showing cracks. I'm suppose to have all the power! This is my game!" Judith lays down on the bed, getting bored. She pours another glass of champagne. "So I guess you are not really in control after all." Shirou turns to Judith, slightly panicked. "Not to worry. Sometimes these things happen. That's why you should always stack the deck in your favor. Dante's still working his way up the tower, I'm getting my programs back up, and a food cart is on its way. Just relax and enjoy yourself, beautiful." Shirou's assistant brings in a cart full of steak, rice, salad, sushi, and vitamin water. "Here is your food, sir." "Excellent! You have saved the day. Thank you, loyal assistant whom I don't mention enough." The assistant leaves, and Shirou and Judith help themselves to some delicious food.
