The gang watches in suspense as Eva steps up to the plate. Red tips his cap forward and hold his mitt in front of his face so that just his eyes show. Shirou walks over and stands next to Dante. "You know, it occurs to me, if one of us had a Digimon on our team, could they mask their powers and still use them?" "I guess. Hey, maybe Olga is actually a Digimon!" "Perhaps. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't your friend Eva British?" "Yes, that's right." "Was she born and raised in England?" "I would assume so." "Did it occur to you that they play Cricket in the UK, and Eva might know nothing about the rules?" "Oh crap..." "Ugh, managers..."
It was only the first at bat, and had Dante already made a huge blunder? Would Eva even know what to do? To Dante's surprise, Eva makes great contact with the ball, and starts off with a leadoff triple. "Haha! Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Shirou!" "Alright, let's see you bring her home." Dante grabs his bat and steps up to the plate. Kano snickers at Dante and flashes Red a hand sign. Red goes back for the wind up, and throws the ball as hard as he can directly towards Dante. He quickly ducks out of the way and backs out of the batter box. "Ball 1!" "Hey, is this a ball game or a fight?!" "It's not ballet, nancy boy!"
The next pitch, Dante lines it up the middle past Red. Babi runs over to throw it in. Eva has plenty of time to make it home. "Ya, not so tough now, are you Red?!" Dante runs towards first. He should have enough time to stretch it into a double. Before he can reach first, Olga clotheslines Dante and drops him on the ground. "Baserunner interference!" Judith gets upset seeing her brother thrown around by a 'woman'. "Hey, She Hulk! Why don't you pick on somebody your own sex?!" Judith tries to storm out of the dugout, but Wormmon holds her back. (Thinking) "Wormmon playing the voice of reason?! Things must be bad."
Dante gets up and reaches first base a little lightheaded. Wormmon is up next to bat. "Oh ya, time to taste my boom stick, you little fairy boy you. Justice via giant stick!" Wormmon waves the bat around in the air like a maniac being attacked by tiny invisible ninjas. Dante tries shaking off that last blow. His vision starts to clear up, and is no longer seeing double. Red looks over from the mound and smirks. (Thinking) "Those stupid metro looking posers with their sh** eating grins... Red, I can't wait to shove this victory up your ass."
Red goes back for the pitch. Just before the ball leaves his hand, Dante takes off towards second. The pitch is low and outside, but Wormmon swings and misses for strike one. Babi runs over to cover 2nd base. Kano quickly makes the throw to try to get Dante out. Red also rushes over to 2nd so he can be the one to tag Dante out. Red catches the ball in his mitt, but Dante rams into Red, knocking him into Babi. The three of them tumble to the ground and the ball rolls out of Red's glove.
Dante reaches over and touches 2nd base with his hand. "Safe!" Red and Babi stand up and get ready to knock Dante out, but Judith and Shirou quickly hit the field. "Alright that's enough! You two agreed to a ball game, not a roadhouse rumble. They'll be no more of that garbage on my field, or I will start taking away points!" "You can't do that!" "Of course I can! I'm the umpire and I'm drunk. Deal with it!" Now that Keramon has laid down the law, hopefully the violence will be kept to a minimum.

The American pastime was seemingly turning into a complete farce here, although to be fair Eva kind of expected this to happen. First, the base interference from someone who Eva was sure by this point was a professional rugby player rather than a softball player like the dynamic douchebags said she was. Good thing Eva wasn't an American, otherwise she might be tempted to go to the US' next favourite pastime and sue for misrepresentation.
"Hey! Are you idiots going to keep squabbling like children, or are we actually going to play baseball here? God damn!" The digimon was naturally getting frustrated by this petty bickering and near fisticuffs. So annoyed in fact that she was almost tempted to engage weapons targeting and fire her PDFLS into the air to create a big enough noise and racket to break these idiots up, but, doing that would be a damn good way of getting detected, plus, it would no doubt overload the holosuit.
And as if things couldn't get any worse, after Eva had sprinted back it was Wormmon's turn. Oh joy of joys he was swinging that bat around like a damn loony. And missing. Repeatedly. Eva facepalmed hard, this was getting ridiculous.

Things were clearly getting out of control. After both sides had gotten carried away, it was time to buckle down and focus on the game. Wormmon ends up striking out. "What? This is so stupid. Stop throwing the ball all over the place. And slow it down." "That's the point, Wormmon. He's trying to get you out." Wormmon realizes that actually hitting a baseball isn't as easy as pressing a button on the controller. Shirou is up next, and manages to bunt his way on base, advancing Dante to 3rd.
Judith steps up to the plate. "Don't get upset, Judith. I'll still like you even if you can't play well." Red goes back for the windup, and throws a scorching fastball slightly low and outside. Judith crushes the ball, knocking it clear over the fence for a home run. They round the bases and celebrate at home plate. "Wow, where did that come from, sis?" "Maybe I'm more athletic than you give me credit for. What do you think I was doing when you were busy fencing?" Dante had to admit, his sister had one upped him.
The Handsome Boys struggle to make it out of the first inning. The gang decides on their positions. Dante looks over at Eva. "Something tells me you've got the right eye sight and coordination to take the mound." Dante knows with Eva's infrared eyes and cold hard logistics, there's no one who could do it better. However, he's still wary about Shirou, and now isn't the time to reveal to him or the other team what Eva's true form really is. Shirou goes behind the plate with Keramon, Dante takes short/third/left field, Judith goes out in center right, and Wormmon covers first base. (Thinking) "Alright Eva, make them humble."

Fielding now. Throwing a ball. How hard could it be? From her admittedly rather vague understanding of the American pastime, something she honestly didn't expect to be a thing in Japan, she just had to hurl the ball as hard as she could in such an arc where they could potentially hit it. The trick probably was spin or something, make the ball's path unpredictable. While Eva wasn't exactly experienced enough with this game to do anything fancy, with her cybernetic arms and eyes... She could sure as heck hurl it pretty damn fast and accurately, something Dante seemingly had figured out too seeing as it was his suggestion in the first place that she take the pitching position.
She stepped up to the mound, tossing the baseball in her hand to test the weight and once again activated her targeting systems, the HUD overlaying over her vision as she tried to figure out what sort of trajectory and speed to give it. She had a tough decision to make. Limit herself and make it fair, or, crank her artificial muscles to their limit and hurl the absolute hell out of that ball at the risk of detection and potentially even glitching out the holosuit.
COMBAT SYSTEMS READY.
TARGETING SYSTEM ONLINE.
IMPROVISED PROJECTILE.
MASS CALCULATION = 146.34 G
TRAJECTORY CALCULATION. [====X====]
WARNING: ARTIFICIAL MUSCLES AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY.
Yeaaaaaaah. These guys were douchebags. Plus, they had the base interfering rugby player out there. In addition to this, she was pretty damn sure most, if not all of the people here were aware of the existence of digimon anyway.
With that, she started pitching. The ball was being hurled at a seemingly unnaturally fast speed, certainly a lot quicker and more precise than what you'd think the relatively short woman that the holosuit was an image of would be chucking it. Despite not really doing much in the way of adding spin, or anything fancy to the path, Eva was indeed making them humble. At least, if that was even possible at all, striking out Babi and Leo in rather quick succession, while Kano and Red managed glancing hits on their second and third try respectively, both of them managing to run one base each.
It was going well, however, it soon became the turn of Olga. Eva felt somewhat intimidated by this massive bulking great wall of a person as she began her pitch. Seemed she was certainly good at the bat, hitting it securely, however, it was sent flying right at Eva! With little time to do anything else, she raised her hand to catch the rapid moving baseball!
CRAK!
That... hurt like hell. The digimon managed to keep hold of it though, holosuit subtly flickering in a pixelated mess around her arm and almost shutting down from the impact. Eva's HUD lit up with warning signals, a 3D image of her arm rotating in front of her eyes showing minor damage to the bearings in her right elbow joint and a hairline fracture in the carbon fibre titanium alloy blend that made up her arm, running from her wrist all the way down to the damaged elbow.
"Argh! Out!"

With Eva on the mound, the gang proved to be quite the challenge for the Handsome Boys plus one amazon. Dante watches from the field, Eva is throwing smoke. He starts to worry if maybe Eva is utilizing her talents a little too much, but the HBs don't seem to realize. Shirou, however, is starting to grow suspicious. Dante notices Eva is suffering from some kind of injury. Could it be a mechanical error? After the first inning, Keramon grabs some ice out of the limo to ice Shirou's hand. It didn't help that Shirou wasn't an athlete. His pale skinny hands were perfect for typing computer code, not stopping a fastball.
As the game continues on, both teams trade the lead back and forth. Red begins to calm down on the mound, giving up less runs. Eva may be dominating with her fastballs, but after a few at bats the Handsome Boys are starting to lock down their timing. Dante utilizes his speed on the base paths, Wormmon manages to squeak by a couple hits, and Judith continues swinging for the fences. "Hey sis, if this pop music thing doesn't work out, you should try to play professionally." Olga grows increasingly frustrated with her team. She's probably the manliest one there, and she definitely has the most body hair.
It's the top of the ninth, and the Handsome Boys are up by 2 after Olga crushes a three run home run. The gang has to score at least 2 runs before the next three outs, and then they have to stop the other team from scoring. Eva and Dante get on base, but Wormmon and Shirou are not so lucky. With one out left to work with, Judith steps up to the plate. With Dante's speed, a solid base hit should tie up the game. Red starts off the at bat with two pitches outside. The next pitch is a strike, but Judith fouls it off. With the count 2 balls and 1 strike, it's anyone's guess what Red is going to throw next.
Red goes back for the windup, and fires a laser just a tad high from right down the pipe. Judith swings with all her might and crushes it down the right field foul line. Leo chases the ball into the corner. Eva and Dante will have plenty of time to score. Before Judith can take off towards first, Kano shakes the catchers glove off his hand and grabs Judith's sweat pants. He pulls down her pants right there in the batter's box, revealing a teeny amount of black fabric that some women call underwear. Shirou's eyes start bugging out, and his lenses crack.
Judith just stands there in shock. She drops the bat and quickly pulls her pants up. "YOU JERK!" Judith kicks Kano right in the face, her heel busting his nose open. Eva and Dante are already on their way home. Judith takes off towards first, and starts heading towards 2nd. Leo gets the throw in, and Red tags her out. Fortunately, both runs scored, and the game is all tied up, with the Handsome Boys up to bat one last time. Judith storms back to home plate. "You dirty little pervert! How could you do something like that to me?!" Kano tries to stop the blood pouring out his nose. "Uughughoooh... all's fair in love, and baseball..."
Wormmon scratches his head. "So wait, does that mean we lose?" "If they can score before we get three more outs, we lose. If we can hold them, then we go to extra innings. There's no ties in baseball." "Unless it's the all star game." "Shut up, Shirou! Nobody gets your references, NEEEEERD!" Both sides take a brief break in their dugouts. The Handsome Boys are concerned with Kano's beautiful face being ruined. Shirou tries to fix his glasses, but unfortunately he didn't bring an eyeglass repair kit or a backup pair. "Well, this is going to be difficult." "Come on, team! We just need to shut them down and go to extra innings, score some runs, and then hold them again." They were so close to winning, but both teams are getting exhausted. Dante is worried Red will try calling a tie instead of going to extra innings. "Just a little bit more, guys. We can't let those boy toys beat us."

Eva looked down at her arm, clenching and unclenching her fist. The damage was relatively minor, certainly not enough to stop normal operation but playing this game more? It could cause this to become a whole lot more serious. She stopped for a second, analysing the situation with her HUD. The 3D model of her arm rotating in the corner of her vision showed a thin red line, an exclamation mark flashing next to it outlined by a triangle. Further down, there was also a section in her elbow highlighted orange, a small line of text by each one.
WARNING: RIGHT ARM STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY COMPROMISED. HAIRLINE FRACTURE DETECTED.
ADVISORY: MODERATE RIGHT ELBOW BEARING MISALIGNMENT DETECTED. INCREASED WEAR MAY OCCUR.
As the game continued, the warnings became even more strident, a beeping going off after she had sprinted back to the batting line once more, the 3d image coming up once again in her vision to oh so helpfully inform her that the hairline crack was indeed widening with each action.
WARNING: STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY COMPROMISED.
WARNING: CRITICAL RIGHT ELBOW BEARING MISALIGNMENT DETECTED. LOCKUP MAY OCCUR.
Eva figured she had maybe one more swing before the damage would start to seriously put a damper on proceedings. The hairline fracture and misaligned bearings was something that would repair itself over time seeing as they were relatively minor issues all things considered, but she for sure wouldn't be able to swing the bat properly with what would probably be the human equivilant of a sprained muscle by this point.
Nonetheless, this seemed to be the last round, and it was her turn to bat. One chance. One shot. Looking at the points, this was it. This had to be a home run or those morons would take the game and no doubt never let anyone here hear the end of it. The digimon looked down at the bat. It felt heavier in her hands somehow as she pulled it back, waiting for the ball.
SWING...
CRAK!
Alarms were going off in the digimon's head. Literally. The artificial muscles had automatically reduced power in order to prevent them from being torn as the now jagged and further cracked carbon fibre titanium blend rubbed against them threatening to tear into the nanotube fibres under the still intact holosuit, however, that ball was flying. Gone. Straight out of the park, until a few seconds later a car alarm started blaring away from the car park.
With that, Eva didn't even need to run. She took it at a casual jog, making sure to flip off the "handsome boys" mid stride before she arrived back to the others.
"I think I've pulled something in my arm. I just hope that was enough to win it for us."

After Judith tied up the game in the ninth, the gang was able to hold their rivals in the bottom of the ninth. After going into extra innings, Eva crushes one out of the ball park for the lead, ultimately being the deciding run in the game. The gang runs over to celebrate on the pitcher's mound. Shirou pulls Wormmon aside. "Hey, let's dump the *Generic sports drink* on Eva!" Dante rubs it in the Handsome Boys faces. "YAA! WOOOO!!! Looks like Fabio and the brady bunch just got whomped on!"
The Handsome Boys hang their heads in shame. Kano holds a towel on his broken nose. Leo starts to sniffle a bit. Olga shoves Red over and storms off in a huff. "Oh, what's the matter, blobberella?! Gotta go back to your bell tower?" Olga stops and turns around, tears in her eyes. "You know, words do hurt!" Dante and Judith feel sort of bad. Olga runs off crying, and hopes to never see the Handsome Boys again. Fun fact, she winds up making her own line of fitness dvds, and marries a lumberjack.
Shirou and Wormmon dump the *definitely not *****ade* on Eva, but this celebration ends up having some consequences.

Eva was about to shake hands with the opposing team, congratulating them on a game well played but it seemed the rest of the group she was with had other ideas, starting to sling insults at them. It got so bad that the rugby player went off in tears after a particularly cutting insult which caused Eva to pause in disbelief at her friends for a moment.
"Hey guys. Not cool. You ever hear the term "sore winner"? You guys just embodied it right there."
The holosuit was more than capable of surviving even sports drink being dumped everywhere. It had to be able to maintain the disguise even in all weather conditions after all, but, Eva didn't exactly want that stuff getting on her. That stuff would no doubt just get sticky once it dried. Hardly a pleasant feeling. However, something something it wasn't capable of concealing? The activation of the stormshield EM barrier. With a quick flash of light, the electromagnetic shield quickly pulsed into life, flash boiling the incoming *GENERIC SPORTS DRINK* and completely disrupting the holosuit.
This... Was not good. This was a public place in the human world, and with the holosuit overloaded like that? It would certainly take a while to reboot. She quickly glanced around, before activating her cloak, vanishing into thin air with a subtle ripple of orange light.
"Aaaand my holosuit's now going to have to reboot because you guys wanted to throw sticky off brand sports drink at me. Just brilliant."

Eva was not a fan of the team's heckling. They really were being sore winners. "Normally, ya, but this is the Handsome Boys we are talking about. The biggest, egotistical, creepy, self absorbed..." "We get it." "You Bachelor rejects got what you deserved." The Handsome Boys turn and start walking away. Shirou and Wormmon dump the ga- I mean "GSD" on Eva, causing her holosuit to glitch out. She quickly activates her cloak, but the rest of her team saw her true form.
Red hears something and looks over. "What was that? Hey, where did your pitcher go?" "Where's Eva?!" "I don't like the looks of this, Red. This is too sketchy." *Nasally* "They probably cheated! That's the only way they could win." "What? No way, you can't make excuses now." "Come on, Boys. Let's let these "winners" enjoy their, *cough cough* "victory"... *cough cough* asterisk." "Asterisk?! We whooped your waxed rumps each way from Sunday."
Shirou just stands there, looking at Dante. "What's the matter, Shirou? Are your broken glasses messing with your vision?" "Maybe slightly, but not enough to obscure what I just saw." "What are you talking about?" "Is there something that you would like to tell me about your friend, Eva?" If Shirou wasn't suspicious before, he certainly suspected something now. Dante isn't sure how Shirou will react. They need to keep Eva's identity hidden. And what if he's interested in examining Eva's cybernetics, and stealing designs for his own projects?

It didn't take too long for Eva to get her holosuit back up and running, her human like appearance returning as the cloak was disengaged, reappearing out of thin air just the same way she had vanished. "Don't do that again." Her tone of voice was rather stern right there. Eva was not exactly a fan of the concept of getting cheap "sports drink" which was actually just mostly sugar and water with no real benefits whatsoever dumped all over her. Sure, it wouldn't cause any damage to her cybernetics, after all, they didn't exactly come off so they had to be built to withstand any environment a person could find themselves in, nonetheless, getting covered in sugar water that would just end up all sticky was not exactly a pleasant concept.
Seems the others weren't too happy with that reveal though. Cheating? Coming from them? This was ridiculous. "Oh sure, -we- cheated. Who was it again who roped in a professional athlete for this random game? Ooooh yeah, that was you. You guys did that, expecting that having just one player worth a damn would be able to give you a guaranteed win. Newsflash. Doesn't work like that. You not only let yourselves down, you let your one good player down. Good job."

"Ya! You bozo heads have been cheating the whole game! Stop acting so high and mighty all the damn time, and then people wouldn't think you're such pretentious man whores!" "Wow. Harsh, but true. You should take their advice." "Argh, I'm not going to listen to some lazy dweeb and his pet worm." Well this was a catastrophe. Once again they found themselves bickering back and forth with the Handsome Boys. Oh, how some things never change. Right now Dante never wants to see their plastic looking faces ever again, or he will probably punch them.
The Handsome Boys head back to the dugout to grab their hair brushes and baby oil. Shirou looks at Dante and Eva, with a smug, yet calm smile. "I'm disappointed in you Dante. It's not like you to keep secrets." "Look, Eva doesn't want to reveal her identity here. And I wouldn't put it past you to pull one of your dirty tricks that you're oh so notorious for." "Now why would I go and do a thing like that? You know on second thought, I changed my mind." Dante and Shirou have a stare off on the mound.
"Umpire, initiate protocol Home Field Advantage." Keramon starts reverting back to their rookie form. Electricity surges around the ballpark.
.....01010100 01100001 01101011 01100101 00100000 01101101 01100101 00100000 01101111 01110101 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01100010 01100001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01100111 01100001 01101101 01100101 00101110.....
Soon a bright wave of energy covers the field like a blanket. Both teams find themselves floating in a completely empty space. They are transported to the inside of a large factory. Dante almost bumps his head on one of the pipes. "Bwah! Where are we?!" "What gives?! Is this another one of your plans, Shirou?!" Dante looks around, but doesn't see Shirou or Keramon. "Okay, nobody move! We're probably in one of Shirou's virtual worlds. Anything could be a trap."

Okay, this was unexpected. Well, it had seemed that the secret was already out if Shirou was pulling this sort of thing as the others seemed to be suggesting. They were also saying this was a virtual world. Must have been a damn good simulation if it was able to trick her HUD into thinking that the baseballs and the like were real. Well, there was seemingly no need to hide anymore, as she quickly switched off the holosuit and readied herself.

Rather suddenly, instead of Eva just standing there in her hoodie and jeans, she was armed and armoured to the teeth. An advanced looking assault rifle in hand, wearing body armour (with of course a union jack flag on the shoulder) and with seemingly all sorts of human world military kit that just materialised out of thin air.
Nonetheless, this didn't really look like a digivolution as such. It was far more subtle, only a faint glow from a sort of wireframe of the equipment filling themselves in before they became solid rather than the blinding flashes and showy offness of many others.
She crouched down, looking through the acog scope of her rifle, switching through vision modes to try and figure out what was going on. Perhaps through that she could detect some cracks in the simulation, or some of the aforementioned traps.
"Must have had something to do with that limo. Bloody wanker."

"Another one of Shirou's dirty tricks, eh?" "The game must have been real, but the field might have been a simulation too. You stupid gamers and your weird computer fetishes! I swear, Shirou probably writes love letters to his, super, computer module, or whatever!" Whatever the case, they found themselves at Shirou's mercy. The Handsome Boys are taken back by Eva's form. "Wait, what the? Is that the same fox from before?" Leo's heart skips a beat, as he ogles his furry friend, that he has admired from afar.
Shirou's voice can be heard coming through various speakers. "I'm sure you all have some questions. After weighing the matters at hand, I decided this was the best course of action. Eva, your technology is very interesting, and I can't wait to get my hands inside of you." "You sick creep!" "Handsome Boys, you are obnoxious, and have stood against me many times before. And for that, I cannot allow you to mettle in my business any more. It is a safety risk that must be eliminated at all costs." "Hey, how about we skip to the part where we beat your sorry ass?!"
The group can hear Shirou's nerdy, high-pitched laughing coming from the speakers. "I have the home field advantage here. You are completely powerless as long as I'm at the controls. I advise that you learn how to work together. Once my little pet projects have subdued you, I will drag your remains to my lab for further study, before releasing any useless subjects." "Shirou... You can go die in a desert!" "Very unlikely, Dante. Ta-ta, for now." Dante can hear loud stomping sounds coming from across the factory. A few bizarre looking silver and blue machine Digimon called Cutters approach the group. They have very slender builds, but are armed with several rotating blades and fire non-lethal synthesized bullets.
Red motions to fight, but the other three Handsome Boys start running away. "Hey! Where do you think you're going?!" "But, we don't fight..." "You're Tamers, aren't you? So then fight!" Red takes out his Digivice and summons Red Veemon. Using the Digi egg of Courage, he armor Digivolves to a red skinned Flamedramon. "Ya! Finally some action!" Flamedramon fires two blasts of flames at the Cutters, roasting them like hot dogs in a microwave. Yet a few more Cutters appear. Wormmon in his Rookie form makes a cocoon and digivolves to Stingmon. The Champion flies towards the Cutters, and tries to slice their blades with his energy spike. Some of the other Cutters spray a volley of bullets at the group. "Get down!" Dante grabs Judith and the two Palladino kids, well, afterteens, dive out of the way behind some steam equipment. "I'm not going to stay and fight! What if my beautiful face were to get scratched? Oh dear!" "Maaaaan you're such a nancy boy!"

"You're dead Shirou. I'm coming for you." With that, she shot out one of the speakers the annoying voice was coming through. This nerd had just signed his death warrant. She couldn't have this NanoWerx technology fall into the wrong hands, or well, more wrong than even its original inventors. At least at the end of the day their intentions were good even if their methods were not. On the other hand? For all Eva knew this guy was about to try and sell this equipment to a terrorist organisation.
She looked around, completely focused on the situation at hand, checking the corners and scanning for hostiles. It felt like second nature to her as she tactically assessed the situation, finding a large piece of heavy machinery from which she would have good cover and an even better field of fire, looking like a complete professional as she readied herself.
The digimon didn't even flinch as the hostile machines entered the fray, cooly and calmly reporting the incoming hostiles and firing at the lead hostile, glaring at it through her ACOG scope as she squeezed the trigger letting fourth a hail of high velocity caseless rounds accelerated both by typical chemical propellants and electromagnetic coils at the strange looking steampunk machines.
She didn't even spare the "Handsome boys" a glance as some of them cowered, seemingly too afraid of getting a few scars to engage. She was too focused on avoiding a hail of incoming gunfire, spanking off the heavy piece of steel she had put between her and them with deafening clangs to spare them too much thought.

As more of Shirou's robot goons enter the fray, Kano and the others start panicking more and more. The Handsome Boys take off through the factory, trying to evade the bots. Only Red stays behind to support Flamedramon. As they are fleeing some larger robots covered in silver colored plating cut them off. They launch a barrage of bullets, causing the boy toys to run about in a frenzy. Kano turns around a corner, but runs smack into some machine equipment. The blonde swimming star falls to the ground, as the blades on one of the Cutters spins closer, and closer to his face. Kano's eyes bug out.
Meanwhile, the Digimon are giving these tinker toys what for. Stingmon dodges one of the blades and charges up his energy cannon. The King of Sting fires an overcharged Moon Cannon, obliterating one of the Cutters. Flamedramon continues to roast the bots with his flames. The blade keeps getting closer to Kano's face, enough to feel the wind off the blade. At the last moment, Babi pushes over some equipment on the Cutter, trapping the lighter weight model underneath. Babi offers his hand to Kano and pulls him up. "I don't remember running away from a fight like this before. Since when were some nerdy toys enough to make us cower?!"
Even as fast as they are taking out Shirou's lackeys, more and more keep coming. "Uh, Shirou! I think we get your point. Can't we just talk this out?" After a moment of silence, Shirou comes back on the speaker. "Yes, well um, here's the thing... You know how my glasses were cracked during the game? Well, I kind of made a mistake." "You mean you actually made a technical error for once in your life?" "It would appear so. I must have entered the decimal in wrong. Instead of sending 20 Cutters at you... I miiiight have accidentally entered 200." "What?!" "And that's just the first wave."
More robots continue to show up. Two much larger models covered in red plating emerge from an emergency exit. One of them grabs one of the Cutters by the waist and throws it against the wall. The other one launches an electrical net at Stingmon, tying him up and burning his shell. "Hey! I'm supposed to be the one shooting nets at people. Get this stupid thing off me!" "What are those things?" "Oh, those two? I call them my N4-SURS. Get it? I would stay away from those two." The first N4 fires a blast of electric energy at Eva. "Careful, you goons! Don't damage NanoWerx's little pet project here. Just enough to disable her and bust open her implants." "You're going to need a nose implant after what I'm going to do to your face!" "Now Judith, there's no reason to be upset with me. This is a business decision, and Eva's technology could advance my research years. Who knows what I'll be capable of producing?" "I think you should stick to designing video games, and making ice cream." Judith smashes one of Shirou's speakers with an angry kick.
