Shirou ducks down as rounds from the shotgun obliterate the turrets and pierce through the back window. "They told me it was bullet proof!" The limo continues on down the road, getting closer to Shirou's destination. When the limo turns again, Rob takes a different turn down a market alley. "Ahhh what are you doing Rob?!" "It's a short cut." Rob flies through crates of chickens and watermelons. Several angry marketers shake their fists at Rob for destroying their overpriced, square watermelons. When Rob turns out onto the main road again, he's ahead of the Limo.
Keramon sees Rob in front of them and swerves over into the other lane. Rob taps the breaks, and pulls up next to the limo and nudges it behind the back wheel with the front of his car, sending both vehicles into a tailspin and crashing into an abandoned warehouse. "We made it! Great job, Keramon!"
"01001001 00100111 01101101 00100000 01100111 01101100 01100001 01100100 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01100001 01110010 01100101 00100000 01101110 01101111 01110100 00100000 01100100 01100101 01100001 01100100 00101110."
Shirou grabs the laptop out of the limo with Keramon's data and rushes out and into the warehouse. Dante stumbles out of the low rider, disoriented from the crash. Wormmon leans over the side and vomits sushi all over. "Oh Goddess, I've finally had too much fun. But now I'm hungry again." The three of them follow Shirou into the warehouse and look around for the renegade dork.

Luna smiled as the gun pretty much destroyed the back of his car. "That's what happens when you shock the girlfriend of a guy with guns." Luna said as she quickly followed after since the others turned, she didn't know why they did but she had to make sure she stayed on his tail. Since they were close Luna was going to try and shoot again but the other person drove in front of him and caused Shirou to spin out of control.
Luna slammed on the gas instead driving right past the Limo as it spun around slightly hitting the side before she stopped a bit far away. "Alright, good Motorcycle." Luna said patting the bike twice. Yuudai also go off not used to all this movement while in his Holo suit form. Luna didn't let him go as she grabbed his hand dragging him towards the warehouse.
Luna holds up the shotgun in two hands holding it upward like someone from a game would, or someone who competently knew how to hold a shotgun would. She followed quickly after the three ready to fire if she needs to.

The five of them look around the warehouse searching for Shirou. Suddenly, all the windows close, making it pitch black inside. Then a blinding flash of light engulfs the warehouse. When the light dies down, the group finds themselves in what appears to be a locker room. "What's going on here?!" "It's another one of Shirou's dirty tricks!" Shirou's nasally voice comes in over the speakers. "That's right, you green haired bimbo. I had to lure you all to the place where I have set up my challenge. All you have to do, is BOLIEVE! defeat my team at Basketball."
Dante and Wormmon: "Basketball?!" Rob: "Basketball! Hell ya!" "Indeed. I have arranged for uniforms to be waiting for you in the lockers. Prepare yourselves and I'll see you out on the court. Oh, and as long as you're here, any Digimon in the group will be unable to use any abilities, or return to their normal form. For this game, you will be using the Human bodies you pretend to possess." "Can he really do that, Dante?" "In all likelihood, we are probably inside one of his virtual worlds at this point. If so, he can control just about anything." "Yes, that's true, Dante. But I assure you I will not abuse my powers to influence the game in any way. This program was created so that we could play a fair game of b ball."
Rob is determined. "Well you shoulda gone with soccer, because I'm king of the court, dawg! Get ready for me to rub my junk in your face when I'm dunking on your white ass!" "Amusing. A white guy acting like he's a gangster, calling a Japanese man white. Words fail me, Rob." "I talk big, but I hit harder, sucka!" "Anyways, get suited up, and head out to the court. I'm looking forward to humiliating all of you."
Wormmon crosses their arms. "Man, Shirou is such a twerp! He was probably picked last for every Basketball game he's ever played." "I wonder who's going to be on his team. I'm the only 'friend' he's got." Dante opens up one of the lockers and sees a black and red jersey with his name on it. "Number 23? What, does he expect me to play like Jordan?!" "I doubt that nerd even knows Jordan's number." He turns the jersey around to look at the logo. "Shibuya Rebels? I can dig it." "Damn, these jerseys are dope!" Wormmon takes off his shirt and starts changing right there. "Wormmon! Go change somewhere else! You've got a woman's body, for crying out loud!" "Ughh, fine! Humans are so weird."

Luna kinda stares at him for a moment before looking at her gun, well Dust's really but still she was using it right now. Did this count since it was a gun, or since it was a digital gun it did count for some reason, despite the fact it wasn't hers. "Eh." Luna said with a shrug as she spun it around twice on her finger before throwing it in the jacket pocket she had, she wasn't about to risk one of Dust's guns, after all she needed them so he wouldn't get mad about her totally forgetting where she was going and getting involved in a game.
Yuudai in Luna both in the locker room looking at the jerseys. Number two for Yuudai and Number three for Luna for some odd reason. Both quickly just shrugged off their jackets deciding to wear them over their undershirt. Though Luna wondered why he told Wormmon to bail but not her? She was the only real girl of the group after all, to a point, did it have something to do with the green hair? Or maybe Luna was just small enough not to know. Or she didn't take off her shirt all the way. Whatever the reason she didn't care that much.
Luna after putting it on throwing her pendant over the Jersey quickly clapped her hands together. "Ok, so. I have no idea what Basketball is." she said right off the bat deciding that she shouldn't lie about knowing, since this was important to Yuudai and all she should take this serious. Yuudai raised his hand also. "I also have no idea what Basketball is." he also admitted, he didn't plan on having to do any sport but what Yuudai and Luna didn't know was these where physical activities basically, what they are best at.
Yasuo silently picked up both of Shi's digivices, busted just like he thought. With a small sigh he slowly looked out the window before quietly punching a large hole in the wall, he could just blame it on the guy who came in here but Yasuo needed to hit something. "For all our talk about power, about saving people. We couldn't even protect out own tamer, twice damnit." Yasuo said as he removed his hand from the hole in the wall. "Yuudai, please stay safe, I'm not there to watch out for you, please focus. If anyone can get the Data back it's you." Yasuo mumbled out knowing his brother would never hear him.

Shirou really should have created a second locker room for the ladies. Whether it was negligence, or just not respecting women, he should have at least designated an area. Dante didn't tell Luna to go off and change because he knew she had the common sense not to strip down in front of everyone. Rob puts on his jersey and the rest of his gear. Number 42. Wormmon looks at the back of his jersey. "Willow? How does he know my alias? I never told him my name." "Hmm, it's possible we are connected directly to Shirou's programming. He once spoke of reading thoughts. If he's in our heads right now, well I hope he's at least going to play fair." "Ya, right..."
Rob starts talking strategy. "Alright, time for positions. Unless anyone has a spot they want, I think Dante should be Power Forward, I'll take Shooting Guard, Luna can be Point Guard, and Yuudai should be Small Forward." "Positions? We don't even know what to do!" "Wait, that would make Wormmon our Center. We need somebody tall for that. This isn't exactly a dream team." "Don't worry, Dante. I'll just jump super high, and if anyone gets close to me, I'll elbow them right in the face!"
The ragtag Shibuya Rebels get ready and exit the locker room. They walk out to the court. In the crowd is a variety of bizarre looking people. "Wait a minute. These look like the characters in Shirou's game!" "What?! You mean real life people are going to play a virtual game, where they watch a Basketball game?" "Does anything involving nerd linger make sense?" Dante sees an all too familiar face. "Dante! What the hell is going on?!" Dante looks over and sees his sister Judith. She's wearing a red cutoff tank top and black skin tight shorts. "Judith?! What are you doing here?" "I got a call about an audition down town, and next thing I know, I'm in one of Shirou's realities. Who are these people?" "We're the Shibuya Rebels!"
The announcer comes on over the speakers. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! We've got a fantastic ball game for you here tonight, between the Shibuya Rebels, and the Tokyo Handsome Boys!" Dante's heart nearly stops out of shock. "Handsome, my god, no! Not these fruits!"
"First, the Shibuya Rebels.
At Shooting Guard, Number 42, Rob, HOLLLLAAAAND!
At Point Guard, Number 3, LUUUUUNAAAA!
At Small Forward, Number 2, YUUUUUUDAIIIII!
At Power Forward, Number 23, DANTAAAAY!
At Center, Number 00, WillOOOOOOOOW!
And now, your Tokyo Handsome Boyyyyyyys!
At Point Guard, Number 14, KAAAANOOOO!
At Small Forward, Number 33, Leo, FOLEOOO!
At Power Forward, Number 24, BAAAABIII!
At Center, Number 1, Red, FLUUUUNOOOOOW!
And finally, at Shooting Guard, Number 99, our Lord and Master, SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIROUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!"
The crowd is going crazy. Kano, Leo, Babi, Red, and Shirou stampede out of their locker room wearing white and blue jerseys. "Shirou, is a Handsome Boy?! I don't know who sold out more." "Oh my god, it's Kano! I love you, Kano!" "Someone please kill me..." Shirou walks over to the Rebels bench. "Isn't this awesome?! And to think I spent my childhood staring at a computer screen." "Have you even bounced a ball before?" "Hmph hmm. I hope you are ready." Shirou turns to the crowd and raises his arms. The online players go nuts for the nerd who created the virtual MMO which now wastes the majority of their time alive.

Luna and Yuudai heard what he said, they really did pay attention to what they were supposed to be. Though that didn't help since Luna and Yuudai didn't know what small forward and power forward, or just about anything he said made sense. "BasketBall, BasketBall." Luna repeated trying to make sense of it. "Ok I can just grab a ball and shove it into a basket, easy enough." Luna said slowly understanding it just because of the name. Yuudai decided to just go along with that idea as they went out into the court.
Yuudai saw him again, Shirou and his rage almost spilled over again. "Yeah most of your childhood. To bad you won't get to enjoy the rest of it. After this you're finished." Yuudai said angrily with his hand balled up into a fist, he wasn't going to lose this. He was going to win, then best this jerk into the ground.
Luna stood near their large pole thing before holding her hand over the pendant she wore. "Alright I can do this, Dust I'll prove I can do well on my own." she muttered out to herself as she stood in a ready stance, it was more of a fighting stance but that was all she knew how to do.

Shirou brushes off Yuudai's threats. He was a King in this world. A world full of angry and rude trash talkers. Rob pulls Yuudai and Luna aside. "Aight, here's the deal. If you got the rock, you have to dribble it like this." Rob mimics dribbling an invisible basketball. "If you get open, take the shot. If not, pass the rock." Did they understand what he meant by rock? Even as simple as Rob made it sound, sports are not something you can just pick up instantaneously. Several online players fill out two cheerleading squads. The Handsome Boys have perky cheerleaders with way too much makeup. The Rebels have a bunch of sketchy-looking broads. Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" plays as the Rebels Cheerleaders shake their pompoms with little enthusiasm.
Both teams head out on the court. Willow and Red Flunow meet in the middle for the tipoff. "You don't know what you're getting into, lady." "Suck my stinger, creampuff!" "Ehh?" The ref throws the ball up in the air. Willow elbows Red in the face and tips the ball to Rob. Both teams race down the court. Shirou is guarding Rob, while Rob busts out some fresh moves with the ball. He easily gets past Shirou and drives it in for a layup. Leo passes the ball in to Kano, who takes it down to the other side of the court. A few passes later, and they get the ball to Red standing in the key. Red jumps up and slam dunks the ball to tie it up.
"Damn, these guys ain't messin' round." After a few minutes in, the Handsome Boys are up by 6. Willow passes the ball to Dante, standing beyond the 3 point line. Dante shoots the rock, but it bounces off the rim and Red gets the rebound. He passes to Kano, who drives it down to the other side. Kano goes for a layup, but Willow jumps up and comes crashing down on Kano. The ref blows the whistle and calls a foul. "Oh no, Kano! I hope he's okay." (Thinking) "And she's supposed to be our coach? This bites..." Kano sinks both free throws, and Yuudai takes the ball out.
"Wow, folks! Still in the first quarter, and already this game is heating up!" "That's right, Giles! The Handsome Boys are large and in charge tonight. They've been passing the ball really well, and they haven't made many mistakes." "The Rebels are gonna have to lock it down on defense, and start sinking some threes."

Both Luna and Yuudai stated blankly at him before giving a nod. "Ok, where is the rock?" Luna asked looking at the ball that was there and the basket. "Of we get it in there do we get the rock then score or do we find the rock." Yuudai asked Luna. "Not sure." and that about sums up exactly what Yuudai and Luna were doing the whole time people were playing.
Now Yuudai has the ball and he stands there bouncing it up and down for a moment before leaning forward and breaking out into a massive Sprint. "Basket plus ball. Basket plus ball." he muttered out, if anything tried to get in his way or the ball he would stop for a moment and spin around them before continuing, it looked more like a fighting type dodge then a basketball move but that's all he could do.
Eventually he would get to the other side and throw it in a almost perfect arc from pretty far away, he didn't know that would score more points he just didn't want to get closer.

The ref blows the whistle on Yuudai for not passing the ball in from out of bounds. "Oh no, Giles! That's gonna cost them." "But at least they've got a decent three point shooter." The Handsome Boys get the ball. Babi passes it in to Shirou. Shirou dribbles the ball down the court, looking for an opening. In one swift move, Rob swats the ball away and takes it back down. Rob jumps up and moves the ball underneath his legs, dunking it down and hanging onto the rim afterwards. "YEAAAAH!!! This right here is Rob's court!"
The Handsome Boys pass the ball in and take it down. Kano sinks a basket for two points. Dante passes it in to Willow, who takes it down. Red is guarding Willow, but the Worm King charges right through him. The ref calls charging. "What?! I'm just playing ball here, ref!" "Dang it, Wormmon! This isn't a video game... oh wait it is..." The HBs get the ball. Leo passes it to Babi, but he misses a long range shot. Dante jumps up and gets the rebound. He takes off down the court and throws a long pass down to Rob. Rob jumps up and nails the alley oop for two. "Way to go, Rob!" "Oh, now's she's on our side. Ughhh, my sister is boy crazy."
The clock's winding down on the first quarter. Babi takes it down and passes to Shirou. Nerd linger goes for a layup, but Willow straight up dive tackles him. "Ooh! That's a hard foul right there." Willow starts punching Shirou in the face. The ref repeatedly blows the whistle, and both teams get into a brawl. The refs get in trying to break it up. "Is this girl crazy or something?! You're losing control of the game, ref!" "If you can't take the heat, get outta my kitchen, sucka!" "Ya, Wormmon is all prison rules. Betta man up, cuz!" After the chaos, Kano's got the ball. The clock hits ten seconds left. He misses a long range shot. Willow gets the rebound and passes to Luna.

((Best Cameo))
In the Shibuya Rebels cheer team, was Timothy, he had no idea why he was randomly transported here, one minute he was lasering a giant boss with his massive laser cannon and full body armor with Yokomon and Tokomon playing as a duelist and a dual gunner-type guy respectively. Yokomon was a female with Short pink hair and wore a Purple trench coat, some aviators, and wielded a sword in one hand and a laser pistol in the other. Tokomon was a male with dark gray hair, some light body armor, and two laser revolvers. They were running a later game dungeon and hoping for the best with Yokomon and Tokomon firing away at all the adds while Timothy kept a steady stream of fire on the massive alien. 5%... 4%... 3%... 2%... 1%... Poof, now they're in a basketball arena in cheerleading outfits. Timothy looks into his inventory as fast as possible to see if he got his award, he didn't, "Nooooooooo!!! WHY GAME, WHY!!!" Yokomon sighs and falls over, "Ugh, we were so close and none of us died, so what happened!?" Tokomon shrugs, "I don't know, but I'm mad!"
The trio then looks at at the court to see the team, with Yokomon saying, "Hey! It's Dante! Where's Wormmon? And why am I in this wimpy outfit!?" Tokomon looks down to see him in literally the exact same outfit as Yokomon, "This isn't fair! I'm a male character, I don't want my belly shown!" Timothy looks down to see his fitting and nothing showing, "I'm fine, don't know what happened there, but why are we in these outfits?" Suddenly, some pom-poms appear in their hands and they all look to one another, then back at Dante. Timothy shouts, "Uhh, what are we supposed to do with these!?"

Ok now Luna had no idea what was going on, now each side was beating the other side up, roll with it? Before the ref decided to call off the fighting Luna quickly decked the person to her left which happened to be the person Babi on the other team knocking them out with one powerful punch, then she got the ball. "On now I get it, hitting people gives me the ball." Luna said before shrugging and passing it to Yuudai since he got in trouble last time for not doing that.
The blond grabbed the ball before doing the same action he did before completely going for the rules until he reached the end, instead of shooting he fented the shot before spinning around and passing it towards the rushing over Luna who grabbed it, jumped from the three point line and threw it perfectly over there, she was used to shooting ice out of her hands. Same thing different day.

The clock tics down. 3...2... Luna sinks a buzzer beater for three. "Zounds! The Rebels coming up big at the end of the quarter. The score after one quarter, the Handsome Boys, 26, the Rebels, 18." Both sides head to their benches. "Holy Angemon, Luna! That was so cool!" Would this give the Rebels a boost of momentum? Rob starts breakdancing on the sidelines. "Oh, ya! We may be down, but the Rebels are comin' back, bay-bay! Yeow!" Judith takes out her white board and starts going over plays. "Alright, I've been analyzing their defense, and I want to try out this play. Dante, you take the ball down here, Yuudai you come in over her, Dante fakes a pass to Rob, Wormmon, you come in for the pick, Luna, you swoop in this way, Dante passes the ball to Luna..." Judith goes on and on, drawing lines all over the white board.
Over at the Handsome Boys bench, they don't have as much positive energy, despite being in the lead. "Ohh, this is ridiculous! You need to step up your game, Shirou! You're literally getting beaten up out there." "Hey, easy now! Remember I'm calling the shots! Besides, it's only one quarter." "Someone else should guard Rob. He's by far the fastest, and best ball handler." Two players in the crowd start snickering. "Uh huh huh, he said 'ball handler'." "Yeah, heh heh heh! Balls." Kano pours a cup of water on his head to cool off. "Leave Rob to me. I can handle his speed." Babi is just sitting on the bench, steaming mad about getting knocked out by a girl. "Alright. Handsome Boys, let's keep the pressure on!"
The Rebels are confused with Judith's game plan. "It's just a bunch of squiggly lines! Looks like a spider having a seizure." "Judith, you don't know anything about Basketball." Judith stomps down hard on Dante's foot. "OWW!" "Shut up, Dante! I'm the coach, and you will listen to me!" "Hell, just pass the rock and shoot when you feel it, playa." Dante notices something unusual about their Cheerleading squad. "Is, is that Timothy? What the hell's going on?!" Willow waves, but they don't recognize him in his holosuit. "Man, this Human look blows. How will people know that the Worm King is serving up great justice if I look like some bimbo?" Intermission ends and both teams head back out on the court.

Timothy glances at the large breasted green haired woman waving at them, "Uhh, do we know her?" Yokomon shakes her head, "Nope, anyways... I guess we're supposed to cheer Dante on?" Tokomon nods his approval, "That'd likely be correct." Timothy lets out a sigh and says, "Alright, lets walk over and see what's going on." The two both reply, "Great idea."
Upon reaching the bench, Timothy says, "Okay, what's going on, why am I in this, why am I a cheerleader, and most importantly, why did I get warped from my boss with only one percent of it's health remaining!?" Yokomon sighs, "We were so close..." Tokomon facepalms, "We only needed another minute or two and we would've gotten our loot..."
Timothy nods to what his companions are saying, "Exactly! I got cheated outta my loot to appear here! So what's going on!?" He then looks at the board, "Oh, most of that makes no sense."

Luna shakes her head. "Nope I've been looking the entire time but I have not seen a single rock, so I'll just keep punching people and throwing the ball at the basket." Luna said as the person started explaining, she was paying attention honestly but she slowly drew a blank and the words just turned to. 'blaugh de blaugh bla bla.' in her head until she was snapped back by the talk of the rock, then forced to go back out. "No idea what you said, but ok."
Yuudai left but he stood staring at Shirou, if what Luna said was true he needed to punch that guy, sounds like a good idea. Luna and Yuudai just waited until Yuudai saw Timothy. "Oi Timothy, what are you doing here?" Yuudai asked in the time of voice Timothy should be used to.

Dante tries his best to answer Timothy's questions before heading back on the court. "Well, we're here in one of Shirou's virtual realities. Judging by the crowd, it's connected to his online game. No clue why you're wearing a skirt. Oh, and this is Wormmon inside a holosuit." "Hiya guys!" Both teams get ready for the 2nd quarter. Red Flunow tosses the ball in to Leo. Kano gets open and Leo passes him the ball. Kano drives it in for a layup. Dante passes it in to Rob. Rob tries to get a clear path to the basket, but Kano is guarding him too well, keeping up with his speed and moves. Rob goes for a pass to Luna, but Babi steals it and drives down for a slam dunk. "Oh, The Handsome Boys already off to a great start this quarter." "They're just piling on to the lead now, Giles."
Dante passes it in to Rob again. Once again, Kano's guarding Rob. This time, Rob calls for a pick. Willow comes over and stands perfectly still. Rob fakes to the left, but then goes right. Kano falls for the fake out, but quickly shifts direction, running right into Willow. Rob rushes in and passes to an open Luna, who sinks a 2 point shot. Both teams go back and forth, the Handsome Boys playing great D, while also getting some fast breaks. Willow takes the ball down, looking to make a good pass. Willow passes the ball to Dante, who's standing on the mid left just behind the free throw line. Shirou's guarding Dante, sticking his hands way up in Dante's grill. Dante fakes to the side, but stays on his pivot foot and rotates back around. With Shirou out of the way, Dante drops a 3 pointer.
Red takes the ball down on the far right side. He passes it to Shirou and moves in closer to the basket. Shirou tries to get around Dante to make a basket, but Dante is going heavy on the defense. Shirou bounce passes the ball to Red who sinks an easy two pointer. (Thinking) "Come on, Shirou! You need to start making some more baskets." Kano takes the ball down, passes to Leo. Leo goes for a close up shot, but Willow smacks the ball out of the air. Rob grabs the ball and races down the court. Shirou's down at the other end guarding the basket. Rob goes for a layup, but Shirou fouls him on the way up. The ball bounces off the rim twice, but still goes in. The ref calls the foul, and Rob sinks the plus 1.
