"Is it possible that he found a way to control a Digimon...?" Johan asked himself as the others spoke up about what they heard Grandmaster say about how Digimon needed to be controlled. While the attack so far did seem pretty random, Johan knew a strategist when he saw one. He wanted active Digimon-involved students here, but for what? What was he planning to do? And did he truly have a way to control Digimon? Ah, there was no time to think right now!
The firewall was thankfully enough to keep the group from being too outnumbered and overwhelmed with the amount of Numemon's they all now had to face. Johan noticed how Dylan was stunned by Guardromon's sudden appearance to save them all. "Call him Guardromon now. He's the Champion form of Dokamon, a more powerful version of him. This is the power that Digimon Tamers have!"
That was when Shoutmon took center stage. He planted his mic staff right into the ground and inhaled... before sending a loud screech-based attack towards the Numemon swarm. Johan still had to cover his ears but it wasn't as bad as before when Shoutmon did this attack. As the Numemons were rushing towards them, they all started rippling and stopped when they heard the horrible metal scream, and it was just powerful enough to delete the ones in the front. Unfortunately there were still more where that came from, and they just kept coming and coming... Now that the firewall has been depleted, Guardromon readied his stance-
And then just like that, everyone had a new pair of noise-cancelling headphones digitized onto their heads, aside from the Shoutmons of course. They could each hear a male voice inside: "You're going to need these for what I'm about to do."
"What in the... who is this?"
Johan didn't get his answer, but a giant speaker would then materialize above the group and turn on, playing... well, Never Gonna Give You Up. But with the volume turned up to the absolute max. Now every single Numemon was visibly rippling, each one seemingly in utter pain by having the volume turned up so loud. Thankfully the headphones prevented our heroes' eardrums from shattering as well. "It's the vibrations, they absolutely hate the strong vibrations of loud sounds. Now's your chance. Give them all hell."
Guardromon wasted no time in following that suggestion. He glared at the Numemon swarm as red heat lasers shot out of his eyes at them like heat vision, deleting even more of the swarm. "Warning Laser!"
"Did they seriously have to choose this song...?" Johan grumbled to himself.
"Yes. Yes I did."
Shoutmon's "Rock Soul" did impressive damage, shortening the Numemon swarm by a bit.
A mysterious voice appears out of nowhere, playing a song that severely reduces the defense of the Numemon swarm.
Guardromon uses "Warning Laser" on the Numemon swarm.

Johan's words regarding the Grandmaster possibly finding a way to control digimon worried Hiroshi but not Leroy it seemed as the furry dragon twitched anxious to fight as the wall of fire came down. As the speaker appeared above them the song playing at full volume through the speakers made both Hiroshi and Leroy giggle but the sheer amount of noise seemed to be reeking havoc on the Numemon.
"So they don't like noise, huh?" Hiroshi said before he then said to Leroy "I say we give them some more then. What do you think, little bro?"
Leroy smirked and said "Sounds good to me, bro, I'll follow your lead."
Nodding Hiroshi called out "Ultrasonic Wave!" Hiroshi began singing towards the Numemon at a potentially damaging high frequency.
"Bellow Blaster!" Leroy shouted into his microphone sending waves of amplified energy in the direction of the Numemon.

Dylan knew he had better listen intently to Johan as he explained 'Dokamon's' new body and name to him. "Right. Guardromon. Champion form. Understood."
"I'll tell ya later," Shoutmon helpfully interjected, knowing that the boy was lying without asking.
When Dylan was gifted headphones, the first thing he did was rip off the unknown object that clamped down on the sides of his head. He raised an eyebrow at them and looked around while a voice explained to him exactly why he had them. It was a vague, unhelpful explanation, but once Rick Astley was blasted through the room the boy needed no further convincing to wear them. He slipped them right back on, but that confused look never really left his face. Because Dylan was wearing these he didn't know what else the figure was saying, but that was OK. The important person did.
"Loud and clear!" Shoutmon agreed. With his microphone still planted, he sang his agreement with the plan.
"You're loud, I'm louder, You're weak, I'm power, Go ahead and try to paint me red, 'Cause I'm like no one that you've ever met,
You're loud, I'm louder!"
Once he pulled his weapon out of the ground he snickered at Dylan, "Watch us clean this up."
"What?"
"I said, 'watch us clean-'"
"I can't hear you!"
"Ah, forget about it." Shoutmon went back to leaping in and knocking Numemon heads unceremoniously in a direction that the other three hadn't attacked toward.
Shoutmon used Soul Crusher. -Shoutmon sings or screams into his mic to charge it with his rock spirit's energy. All of Shoutmon's basic attacks with the microphone deal physical damage about equal to an ability with no cooldown. When Shoutmon next uses Rock Soul or Feedback Blast, that ability is somewhat more powerful. The charge wears off after three posts or after using one of those abilities (whichever comes first). Cooldown: 2 posts. Shoutmon attacked some Numemon with wide swings of his battlemic.
Cooldowns: Rock Soul: 2
Soul Crusher: 2

The plan was set into motion. Thanks to the Rick Astley song being blasted on the speakers above them, the Numemon swarm was already handicapped, being slowed and weakened by the mass vibrations of the song. Then Guardmon's "Warning Laser" attack easily dispatched a good chunk of the swarm, followed by Leroy's and Hiroshi's combined sound-based attacks taking out even more due to the increased vibrations thanks to the sound frequencies.
"I warned you that you were going to need these," Dylan could hear that same voice coming directly from the headphones themselves. "Don't blame me if your ears are ringing, or if Rick Astley is stuck in your head."
Now it was Shoutmon's turn. He sang into his microphone again, which definitely helped to weaken the Numemon swarm even more thanks to the inherent loudness of the singing. He would find that hitting the Numemon themselves with his staff would be much easier than before, since it would take only one or two hits for a single one to be deleted.
"Holy crap, it's working," Johan said with a smile.
"Of course it's working, I would've hated to see what would've happened if I didn't show up. You were surrounded by a bunch of champions after all."
One by one, each Numemon in the swarm was deleted until there was only one single one left. And this one... the honor of destroying this last one would go to Guardromon himself. This Numemon panicked as it backed up when Guardromon came closer and closer, until it was backed up against the wall. "Rocket Punch!" The large robot extended his fist towards the green slime before the arm itself shot off and hit the Numemon directly, deleting it for good.
Finally... the Numemon were all gone. The speaker stopped playing music and the headphones that were given out suddenly vanished. "Nice going, everyone," the voice said, now coming from the speaker at a more... reasonable volume. "I'll open up a portal that'll take you out of this Digital Shift before I shut it down for good. It'll only take a few minutes so wait right there. Wait a minute... something's coming."
"What's coming? And who even are you?"
"All will be explained when your school day is done, alright? And there seems to be another human coming towards your location, alongside a bunch of Digimon. I can't figure out who this is; be ready!"

Between Rick Astley and the sound attacks of Shoutmon, Hiroshi, and Leroy it seemed the sheer cacophony was too much for the Numemon as one by one they were deleted until one remained. Guardromon took the honor of finishing off the last of the little stinkers with his Rocket Punch.
"Yeah! Finally the little shits are gone we did it!" Leroy exclaimed leaping in the air in excitement while swinging around his microphone in celebration.
Hiroshi, meanwhile, was more subdued as he took off the head phone and adjusted his mohawk wondering why he received a pair since he technically had headphones just as other Cutemon despite his scaly appearance and reptilian tail that other Cutemon lacked. When the Digital Shift was mentioned, Hiroshi said "Yeah shutting down the shift is a good idea. After all we can't just have rampaging digimon flooding a school on a regular basis. Regular attacks can only stay hidden for so long."

Dylan had to admit, these creatures were impressive to watch, to say the least. He couldn't hear most of them, but oh boy was it a display of power these things had. Guardromon could shoot lasers! Hiroshi could screech at inhuman volumes and pitch! Leroy could throw fireballs! And Shoutmon - his digimon, so he'd been told - Dylan was convinced that was the real star here. Without tire, he'd been fighting ferociously and frighteningly efficiently, clearing out scores of Numemon like it was his job. And all that, all that effort, not to mention risk, it wasn't on his own behalf. Shoutmon didn't have a personal stake in this fight. He just put himself in the right place at the right time for... well, Dylan himself.
"Tell me you saw that, man! Give it to me." There was certainly no modesty on Shoutmon's part as he ran dutifully back to Dylan's side. On his way he tossed his microphone aside as if carelessly discarding it, but in reality it just dematerialized before it could impact anything else, leaving the digimon's hands free. Good thing, because it let Shoutmon raise both his hands up high face up, where Dylan could comfortably slap at them both downward.
"Alright, alright, I'm impressed. I admit it." Both this pair had mostly tuned out while they were celebrating their victory once they knew their way out was being arranged, but Dylan became alert when the mysterious figure warned of a human accompanied by many digimon. Given what he had seen, a human should have exactly one digimon with them. If there were more, they were unlikely friendly. "More Numemon?"
"I ain't tired out yet!"
Both of them turned back to face the gym door with clenched fists and exposed teeth, ready to leap into action as soon as they opened. They got a warning before it happened when a deep muffled voice on the opposite side ordered, "Move and clear." Bang! The door was kicked open, and a knife-wielding Sealsdramon slipped through it first, shuffling along the wall to his own right. Just behind him, a Turuiemon with claws at the ready moved in the same pattern but shuffling left. Those digimon were quickly followed by a swarm of six Missimon, a Jazamon, a pair of Rocketmon, and an Orcamon before the last thing to wander through the door, with a bit of a delay compared to the rest, was a sixteen-year-old boy.
"Friendly!"
"Crossfire!" The Sealsdramon and Turuiemon were quick to shout out those things in order to warn both each other and the other people in the room that people who were not enemies were facing each other and risked attacking each other if they weren't careful.
As the digimon penetrated the room and moved through it like a well-trained SWAT unit they called to each other, "One clear."
"Two clear."
"Three clear!"
"Four clear, sir."
It was only at this point that all these digimon relaxed and took their fingers off the trigger, so to speak. That was when the Orcamon and the human boy approached the rest of the crew who had already been there. The Orcamon asked them all at once, "Does anyone need medical attention?"
"Uh... no. I'm fine." Dylan was stunned as the room once again filled with more of these crazy creatures, only this time there was much more variety in them and none of them were Numemon. It put the boy a little on edge again, but at least they weren't acting hostile.
"Ha! After those chumps? Don't insult me."
The human boy held his nose at the smell and, well, the mess in the room as he spoke to Johan, "Well... looks like you didn't need our help."

Johan smiled as he saw Dylan and Shoutmon celebrating their victory in the way that they did. Dylan must've finally started understanding what it was like to have a Digimon partner, and what Digimon were like themselves. Shoutmon especially was really pumped up about his fighting against the Numemon swarm, and honestly Johan couldn't blame him.
Once it was revealed that they had visitors however, Johan and Guardromon would turn around to face the door as well, the former's teeth clenched and the latter's fists up in the air ready to fight some more. It seemed that the other Digimon present were also ready to fight whatever it was that would come through these doors as well. Not even the mysterious voice seemed to precisely know what this group was yet, so they had to be ready for anything.
A muffled voice could be heard outside the door before it was kicked open, and pretty much all of Silence had entered the room in their own usual way and confirmed that Johan and the others were not hostiles. Orcamon and Tadayoshi Teppei himself would both approach the group, the latter asking if anyone was in need of medical attention. "No no, Guardromon and I are good," Johan said as Guardromon devolved back into Dokamon. "Guys, this is Tadayoshi Teppei. He's another member of AEGIS, a type of chosen human called a Xros General." Johan would let Tadayoshi explain the rest if he wants to.
Tadayoshi would then comment that it looks like they didn't need Silence's help. "No, but we did at some point. It's only because I think someone hacked into the Shift itself that we got the advantage and didn't get overrun by a Numemon horde."
"Sup?" the voice from the speaker would say. "I'm the guy that basically saved this group's bacon."
"Are we going to get a name from you, by any chance?" Dokamon asked, crossing his arms."
"How about Rei? Kinda like that name for some reason."
Okay, now it was time to discuss more important things while the portal back home was being opened. "Tadayoshi, I think this is just the start of something bigger here. We encountered a human in the Shift, some crazy nob wearing a mask in the shape of a chess piece. He called himself the Grandmaster, and he claimed to create this entire Digital Shift. But that's not the craziest part... I have a hunch that he's has a way to control Digimon, or at least he's developing something to do just that. But I can't figure out what the point of this Shift was..."
"Oh this whole Shift was just a distraction."
"...what?"
"Yeah, while I was figuring out how to bust into the Shift I noticed that the school's systems were being hacked. From what I could tell, all that they accessed was the information of specific students from the elementary school through the college. I couldn't find a coherent link to all the info that was taken, but every student who's a Digimon are on the list of stolen info. If I had to guess, all these other actual human students are connected to Digimon in some way. All of you are listed on there, after all. Johan Walker, Tadayoshi Teppei, Dylan Loon... I bet this stuff was the real goal here. With the Numemon running amok, who's going to notice a hacker in their systems?"

The sudden arrival of a Xros General and his forces startled Leroy out of his celebration spinning to face the door clenching his microphone tightly and growling before Hiroshi set his paw on the fluffy Shoutmon's shoulder and gently pulling. When Leroy ceased growling Hiroshi let go and stepped forward towards Tadayoshi and said "Do forgive my twin brother. He has not completely settled down from the battle and, though he won't outwardly admit it, your forces startled him. The two of us aren't hurt either and if we were both Leroy and I share the same healing technique in common."
After hearing the shift was a distraction and it was used to gain access to records, Hiroshi said "Why would someone want to know about the digimon students? Before today Leroy and I had never met this Grandmaster person."
Leroy had said nothing the whole time but after seeing the worry in his twin's blue eyes he walked over and rested his free hand on the scaly Cutemon's shoulder in an effort to comfort him.

Even though there was a moment when two friendly digimon almost came to blows, there was enough cumulative discipline to prevent a friendly fire incident. Tadayoshi gave a polite nod to everyone to whom he was introduced but otherwise did not speak to it. More important matters were clearly at hand.
The quick flash of a positive attitude Dylan had just shown was swiftly undone by 'Rei's' news. "Um, excuse me," the boy piped up, "So, besides the fact that there is absolutely zero way I can explain this smell to my parents, can someone explain to me exactly how we're supposed to deal with a villainous mastermind knowing that I'm caught up in this mess?" Dylan threw up his arms in emotional exasperation, his tolerance for getting inadvertently caught up in situations wearing thin. "I don't know how I feel about being on some special watch list." It was at this point he remembered the Grandmaster was not the only mysterious figure who had access to this information; after all, 'Rei' knew, somehow. "Make that two special watchlists. I better not get black bagged for this."

"Dylan, I share the same concerns that you do right now," Johan said to his understandably frustrated classmate. "Something like this hasn't happened during my time in AEGIS yet. We certainly haven't dealt with criminal masterminds like this guy before. And now he most likely knows every student in all of Shibuya Academy who's affiliated with Digimon in whatever way." The young man turned to his co-agent. "Tadayoshi, we need to let both Colin and Sophie know what's going on. They're going to wish to know everything that went down here today."
"Relax, you're not on any watchlist of mine," "Rei" said to Dylan. "Honestly I don't even care about you, or those twins down there. It's these two I'm more interested in." Right as he said that, two holographic red arrows would appear, pointing at Johan and Tadayoshi respectively. "I have some information I dug up on the Grandmaster that could shed some light on his big evil plan. But before I share, I wanna discuss potential employment."
"'Employment'?"
"Do you wish to join AEGIS then?"
"DING DING DING DING DING, the Dokamon answers correctly and wins the Ten Million Yen prize, YAAAAAY!" "Rei" announced as confetti started falling from right above Dokamon's head, with a flashing "You're Winner" sign appearing above him as well. Dokamon did not look amused by this at all. "Honestly I expected you to be some dumb himbo with a weirdly feminine voice, so color me surprised. But yes, I do ask to join AEGIS."
"...himbo?"
Dylan mentioning the strange smell gave "Rei" an idea. "Oh yeah, you all probably smell like barf right now. Not to worry, just gimme a sec." After about a minute, not only would the entire Shift be completely rid of the leftover Numemon sludge, but everyone in the area got a digital cleansing as well. And even better, the portal would then open right in front of them. "Here, this portal'll send you all back to your respective classes... don't ask how I know what classes you were in. And Johan, Tadayoshi, I will be checking in on the both of you later. Don't be scared when I do, got it?"

Dylan mentioning the smell made Leroy crinkle his nose as the smell was still all over the room including the occupants but before he could voice a complaint that would likely be filled with swear words, Hiroshi placed a paw on his twin's muzzle and gently said "Shh." Fortunately Leroy didn't kick up any fuss and Hiroshi pulled his paw away.
When the voice that addressed itself as Rei mentioned information of the Grandmaster while also mentioning wanting employment both siblings blue eyes lit up at the prospect of getting information on a potential threat but of course Leroy, not being the patient type, said "Well what about this information? Come on spit it out already."
Hiroshi sighed and facepalmed and when he pulled his hand away from his face he began running his hand through his two inch tall red mohawk before he said "I'm sorry about my brother, Leroy. Patience is not one of his strong suits either."
When Rei did something about the smell Leroy couldn't help but say "Finally! It's about damn time. I wasn't thrilled with the prospect of spending the rest of the day smelling like shit."
"Yes thank you." Hiroshi said his voice somehow still calm as he continued his attempts to keep Leroy from offending as many people as possible. Looking at the gate to the class, Hiroshi asked "How will we avoid explaining popping up out of thin air?" While waiting for the answer both brothers activated their holosuits again knowing their true forms would bring too much trouble.

"No offense, Hiroshi, but... that's not the part that'll be hard to explain." Compared to fiasco that preceded this problem, Dylan reasoned, explaining their safe return was not where Dylan found the most trouble. "I mean, I guess it's a problem, but it's one of those problems I'll be glad to have. That and..." Dylan looked to Shoutmon then. "How do we explain you? You're not a student here... uh, right?"
Shoutmon scoffed at the very idea. "Student? Ha! Human school's for suckers, man. You're not gonna learn anything useful! No good reason any digimon would wanna spend all their time here." Shoutmon flipped the two brothers a, "No offense," that didn't sound particularly heartfelt. "But I'm clearing out soon as you're all good here." Meanwhile, Tadayoshi talked business with Johan, Dokamon, and 'Rei.' "You should be the one to report to Miss Sophie. You saw something that we didn't. I suppose these folks helped you?" Tadayoshi would make eye contact with Hiroshi, Leroy, Shoutmon, and Dylan in sequence. "Thank you." "Our pleasure, I guess?"
"Hey, hey, go easy, copper. I got a license to be here, and it's in that guy's hand."
Sealsdramon did not take so kindly to Zero's evasive attitude while admitting to holding important information... and expecting to ingratiate himself with AEGIS. "We expect to see you very soon. You will present what you know as soon as possible in person. The faster you do that, the more 'urgent' we will consider your request." The captain was well familiar with 'applicants' who got plucked off the street with attitude problems. Sometimes they worked out. Sometimes they did not. Never did they withhold necessary intel.
"So, D, my man. You and me. We teaming up or what?"
Dylan bit his lip and weakly smiled. "I'm still not completely sure what that's all about, but something tells me I'm gonna want you around." As Dylan walked toward the portal, Shoutmon flashed the boy not a wave but a pair of devil horns. Before he stepped through the portal, Dylan flashed them right back.

A separate holographic arrow appeared above Leroy, pointing right at him. "I think you need to calm down a little bit more," "Rei" said to him, "The fighting's over dude, your built up rage isn't really going to help anyone. It's a good thing your brother's there to stop you from making a you-shaped hole through the wall or something."
While the group was happy about getting able to go back, some had concerns about how they'd just suddenly appear in front of their classmates... well, most had concerns about the smell but that was already taken care of. "Not to worry, to them it'll look like you're just walking through your classroom door. Don't know if your teachers are gonna be too pleased about it though."
"Rei's" withholding of the information in exchange for a job opportunity didn't sit well with Johan. Sure he sought them out himself, but there wasn't an exchange thing going on, he just wanted to join the team to help protect the human world from Digimon, and so did Speed and Psych. What was this guy's reason for joining? Nonetheless, Sealsdramon made it perfectly clear that they expected "Rei" to show up as soon as possible in person with the info. "Got it, got it, I'll seek the two of you out when your school lets out for the day... which might be soon. All the Numemon within the school are gone, but it seems like the mess they left behind is still there. Dunno how much longer your school day will be after this."
"As long as everyone is safe I don't give a damn," Johan said. Dokamon would go back into the V-Pet function of Johan's digivice before he too would join the students through the portal. The portal would then shut once everyone went through, leaving behind only those who didn't, which included Shoutmon.
"Alright, the shift will shut down here real soon. All of you who stayed behind will safely be transported back to the Digital World, specifically near Rosewood. Three... two... one!"
[Thread exit]
The Grandmaster will return.

At 'Rei's' words Leroy, now back in his holosuit disguise as well as his twin, pinched the bridge of his nose before taking a few deep breaths before he said "It's alright. I should be fine now since the battle is over. I know my temper as well as my somewhat wild personality gets me in trouble but I'm trying my best to keep under control. Hiroshi is probably the reason I have any control at all."
Resting a hand on his twin's shoulder, Hiroshi said "It's okay, Leroy. I'll do the talking for us when we get back to the classroom since you seem worried about causing more trouble. At least our teacher seems fairly mellow so we should be alright."
After letting out a large deep breath it seemed the disguised furry Shoutmon named Leroy was ready to head back with his twin Hiroshi and turned toward the gate leaving with Hiroshi.
