His parents had no common sense and went off grid after they burn their home down for the insurance money they placed on it. They abandoned their own son for his relatives and grand parents who pity the poor kid. They raised him but they also raised him how to take care of himself. So they used their old warehouse they’ve owned and threaten his parents that they’ll have them arrested if they tried to sell it in anyway. Hack was naturally gifted in repairing broken machines and outdated things as their warehouse was also part of the Canterlot Junkyard. Hack goes to Canterlot High and witness every crazy thing happened, from the Demon Girl Sunset Shimmer to the Crazy Plant Camp Owner. He viewed the magic of friendship being the source of the insanity happening to the city and avoid it as the Black Plague. He set up his own Detective Agency with a little help of some friends of his but you’ll know when the story progress. Author's Note Tell me what you think of my OC. Chapter 1Canterlot City, a place where crazy things happen to anyone or anything. The reason for this craziness is that of another universe connection through a statue in front of a high school. The portal to the two universes usually opens for three days and three nights every 30 days, but thanks to a certain powerful entity, it stays open all the time, not knowing the damage it brings to that universe. But not everything as it seems. The universe is one big place, but even if it's not connected through magic or fate, there is another universe or another world much closer than you think. In one of the high society locations of Canterlot City, a mansion is owned by one of the richest families with many businesses, the Riches. The father, Filthy Rich, the mother, Spoiled Rich and their daughter, Diamond Tiara. The father of the family was dealing with a situation that could affect them all and their employees and contacts. A cyber hack which stole all of their assets, their wealth, and finances from them. Filthy Rich was baffled and no matter what kind of security programming he installed and his work network, the hacker bypassed it all. He had fallen into a state of despair and sorrow. He felt like everything he worked for in a clean and honest way was gonna get stolen from him, his family, and all the employees who collaborated with him. The police couldn't aid him, nor could they assist him with his problem, nor could they spare the resources to give him some help. However, one officer aided him by letting him know about a certain sleuth that can solve this problem, a Cyber Sleuth. A person who does any kind of detective work using the Internet informed Filthy rich that this person can solve his problem with ease and efficient work. Filthy Rich looked suspicious given that this was information from an officer of the law, he placed all of his fate on this cyber sleuth. Filthy Rich was in his studies, pacing back & forth in front of the fireplace waiting for a callback from the Cyber Sleuth, it was 4 hours ago as he waited for them as he just worried after sending him the URL Address but the Cyber Sleuth only ask for payment after the job is complete. “*GASP*” said Filthy Rich as his personal phone called him. He looked at the Caller ID to see the words ‘Cyber Sleuth’. “It’s him!” He answered the phone. “Hello?” “(Disguised Voice) Hello, Mr. Rich.” “Cyber Sleuth?” Said Filthy Rich. “I am calling to let you know that the hacker who stole all your finances has finally been caught and I’ve returned all your money into your accounts.” said the Sleuth, which concerned him. “Check your accounts’ balances.” Filthy Rich ran to his personal laptop to check all his accounts to see that all the money in them was all returned, with no minor or major deductions. “You did it!” Yelled Filth Rich which shocked him “I apologize to you, but I believe you might pocket some money from me. “Mr. Rich, I understand your distrust in someone like me when we met in person but understand that I wish to keep my privacy in my real life and my work life.” Said the Cyber Sleuth. “I understand.” He said “But… is this the last time I can call your assistance?” “It depends on… if what happens to you involves a cyber connection or something illegal happens.” “Thank you.” Said Filthy Rich, “And your payment?” “$2000.” Said the Cyber Sleuth which surprised Mr. Rich. “That much?!” Yelled Mr. Rich “I mean what you did was extreme and involved all innocent people collaborating with me! I thought you prefer a mil or 10 mil?” “No, Mr. Rich. I’m a human with common sense. Also I don’t want people to mooch money from me. I’ll send you the link for you to transfer the money. Have a good night, spend time with your family and watch tomorrow’s news to see the criminal who robbed you.” He said as the call ended which left Filthy Rich baffled on one question. “Who is this Cyber Sleuth?” He asked Location: Warehouse Near a Large Junkyard The Cyber Sleuth was on top of a broken washing machine as he ended his call and looked at a laptop which was one. “(Male Teen Voice) Now that the case is complete.” He opened a window to see 3 avatars. “Hope you three are feeling better now that that hacker is no longer controlling you.” He said three strange avatars that look like foreign coins. “We are and thank you for saving us.” Said the gentleman coin holding a briefcase. “If it wasn’t for you, I would have stolen money for another without getting a piece of it.” The Cyber Sleuth looked at him “Okay… fine… I’ll do clean and honest work.” He said unhappily. “Where can we find some work for us?” He said as The Cyber Sleuth put some thought into it. “Well… you love money… Accounting is a way to manage money.” He said, which made the 3 look at each other. “Perhaps send an application to Filthy Rich to hire you three as his online accountants.” He said as all three of them jumped for joy. “We'll do that tomorrow!” “Sweet… good luck, Ganemon, Zenimon & Kozenimon.” He said as he closed the window and went to the warehouse and entered it. “(Kid’s Voice) So how was the case?” Asked a voice as the teen turned to see a kid in an angel’s outfit laxing on the couch. “It went well. Case solved.” He said as he closed it on his phone and pulled out a bag of gummy candy and tossed it to the kid. “Just promise me, you do some work Lucemon.” He said as the kid smirked. “I’ll do it… since you’re my partner.” He said as he got up from the couch and flew next to him. “Also, the Burgamon family made some new burgers for you to try before they sell them in their Burger Shop and some you already like if it’s not tasty for you, Hack.” He said as the Cyber Sleuth named Hack removed his goggles, helmet and face mask revealing a 17 year-old teen. “As long as they stop fighting with Potamon.” Said Hack as they pass through other creatures like a red oni with a giant bone, a white bipedal lion wearing pants and a large female spider creature. “I swear there are more Digimon appearing in this city than in here.” He said as Lucemon shrugged his shoulders as a small Digimon landed on Hack’s head. “Happy to see you back!” Said the little Digimon. “Happy to be home, Calumon.” Said Hack as a little purple devil head bounced near him. “Yaamon… who did you bite?” Questioned Hack. “Mostly anyone who tries to brush my teeth.” Said Yaamon. Author's Note Before any of you say, 'you gave your OC an OP Digimon!' but this Lucemon is lazy and only fights if it absolute necessary; like a nuke is coming to Canterlot City, Apocalymon snapping or the Royal Knights are attacking the city. So expect him telling his partner what cases are there for him, complaining that there is no candy at base or fighting for the remote. Leave a comment and have a nice day. Also the 3 Digimon that Hack passed were Fugamon. IceLeomon or Panjyamon and Arukenimon. Also Hack has more Digimon allies that he chooses for his cases depending on the difficulty of each case. Chapter 2Canterlot High, literally the source or magic came from, and someone who isn't wise enough to bother to discover why it's leaking into our world decides to weaponize it or travel to the other world to harvest all its resources. My best guess is that humans are frighten or the fact that the portal to Equestria is wide enough for one soldier at a time but I doubt a soldier is dumb enough to be cannon fodder or a suicide bomber against a giant unicorn with wings that fires a laser made of rainbows and friendship. But that’s for later until it becomes a cult or something. Malware made it to the school as he looked at his phone. “Any cases?” He asked. “Ugh… no…” Said Lucemon, who was in his Digivice App, who was reading digital comics. “I mean, I will admit that we almost had a case, but Metalkoromon shorted out the Wi-Fi.” He said, “I mean, the little guy has to control his hunger. I’ll let you know. See ya after school.” He said as closed the app. “I better find some car batteries at the junkyard.” Mal said to himself as he went to class. Culinary Class Malware was copying the recipe on the whiteboard while the students in the class were cooking some sweets while Pinkie was going crazy with the whipped cream. As they were busy with their cooking, the electric tools started flashing as an electric mixer spin settings changed to slow to faster, splashing anyone near it as the electric ovens blew out the treats inside them as all students ran out screaming as Mal looked at them “Huh?” Gym All the fitness machines were going too fast and acted like a mechanical bull which sent Rainbow Dash flying into the Mal. Their faces were close, but not close enough for an accidental kiss. “If this involves magic, I blame you and your friends.” He said, which Dash frowned. “Why is it you always blame us?” “Says the girl with the magic rock?” “Touche.” Said Rainbow. Library The computers in the library went out of control, even when there wasn't a student using them as they played different music genre videos. Miss Cheerilee came to the computers. “NO MUSIC-” She saw no one was using them. “Huh?” Lunchroom The Rainbooms were sitting together. “What’s going on?” Said Applejack. “I don’t know?” Said Twilight. “For some odd reason, there isn’t any Equestria Magic in the school!” “This makes little sense.” Said Sunset. “I can’t sense any magic and the weird thing is, it’s only affecting all electronics.” She said some students surrounded them. “What’s going on here?!” Said Trixie. “My laptop’s data got deleted for no reason!” Said Micro Bites. “Also, our smartphones are answering spam calls!” Said Flash Sentry, which made them uncomfortable since it’s not involving magic. Malware was eating some instant ramen as he was listening in on the whiny students. “Hmm…” Thought Malware as he finished his lunch and walked out of the lunchroom as he met Principal and Vice-Principal Celestia & Luna. “Uh… Principal and Vice-Principal Celestia & Luna! I’m sorry for leaving but I’m a bit worried about the sudden destruction of the electronics in the school. I’m also worried about being in the crossfire of their chaos.” He said as Luna cleared her throat. “I understand that you’re afraid of the sudden destruction.” Said Luna “But I believe that a certain group of students can fix this.” She said, which made Malware look worried. “Uh… I’m afraid the Rainbooms cannot fix this.” He said, which made both adults look at him “I had the misfortune of being near them and eavesdropped on them saying that this chaos isn’t caused by magic.” He explained which made Celestia look worried. “Oh dear…” She said “If there isn’t any magic involved… Perhaps someone is hacking into our system to create this chaos.” Said Celestia as they heard some screaming in the lunchroom. “I lost my phone data!” Screamed a student which made Malware look worried. “I better go outside where there isn’t any machine nearby.” He said as Celestia and Luna went to their office. “Attention all students. Due to all machines inside the school going out of control, all classes are canceled for today until the situation is solved.” Announcing Celestia, the students cheered “Also, until this problem is solve; no student will be allowed to bring, carry or use any electronic devices. So, the next day, all students will only use books and the internet is banned.” Announce Luna, all students who heard that screamed in horror. Malware covered his ears and groaned. “At least we’re not being given triple the amount of homework.” He said as he walked out of the school. Hack’s Digivice App Lucemon was snacking on a Swiss roll cake while watching online videos. “Man… these old videos that Hack like are good. Better than those annoying short dance videos.” He said slice himself a slice of cake as a phone app appeared before him. “Oh goodie, a client.” He cleared his throat a bit before he answered the phone “(Adult Voice) Cyber Sleuth Investigations, this is his receptionist speaking.” He said, “(Celestia’s Voice) Hello, my name is Principal Celestia of Canterlot High.” Said the caller. “Ah… the building with the strange magic and weirdness.” Said Lucemon. “I beg your pardon but that was made by my students within the AV club who were responsible for those videos.” She spoke. “(“Bull crap.”) Said Lucemon in his head “How may we help you?” Asked Lucemon as he wrote it in a digital notepad. “My school has been experiencing a cyber-attack from a hacker.” She said as Lucemon wrote what she said. “Do you have any suspicions on who would do this?” Asked Lucemon. “No, but whoever did this is causing chaos and destruction throughout the school.” She said, just then Lucemon heard a different voice. “Sister! The coffee maker in the teacher’s lounge is spraying lukewarm coffee!” Screamed Celestia’s sister. “Oh my… I’ll let my boss know so he can fix this problem. I’ll send him the details and he’ll solve your case.” Spoke Lucemon. “Thank you and a reward will be promised to him.” “Good day, madam.” Said Lucemon as he hangs up “(Regular Voice) Better notify my partner of a new case.” He said as he sent it to Hack. Hack’s Warehouse Hack managed to discover an old laptop in the electronic section of the junkyard. “Sweet.” He said as he turned to see a beaver creature with a cannon made from junk on its back. “Here. Take it to the warehouse to see if we can repair it, Junkmon.” Junkmon grabbed it and gave Hack the thumbs up. “Got it, buddy. I’ll let the other Junkmon know if we find any more old laptops or computers.” He said as Junkmon rolled to the warehouse to meet with the others to look for more stuff as his phone vibrated and he heard his notification sound. “What the?” He pulled out his phone to see it was a text with ‘You got a case!’ “Alright.” He went to the Digivice App to see Lucemon. “Hey buddy. Who sends the case?” He asked. “Your principal, dude. She’s hiring you to stop that havoc happening in your school.” Answer Lucemon. “Are you going to take it?” He asked as Hack nodded. “I have to because I doubt those magic girls will solve it.” He said as Lucemon smirked. “Just remember, dude. The ketchup & mustard hair girl can read your mind by touching you. Don’t let her and tell your principal that he’ll find is as sexual harassment that a girl who can peek into strangers’ mind is considered creepy.” He said as Hack sighed. “Yeah, I always find her as a creep with that magic.” He answered as he went to a large tool shed that’s blending in with the junk to put on his work clothes. “(Muffled Voice) I better bring some allies.” He said as he made his way to school on a custom-made automatic motorcycle car “Hey Machmon.” Said Hack to a screen as it showed a motorcycle-shaped Digimon. “(Punk Voice) Hey Hack. What brings you?” “I need a favor.” He said “Can you take me back to school?” “Back to school? What did you forget?” “Nothing, it’s a new case. My principal hired me to solve the electronics going crazy. I had a girl land on me.” He spoke. “Was she hot?” Hack looked at him “To human standards. For me, those customized motorcycles are. Oh baby… if that was a Digimon, I married him.” He said as Hack rolled his eyes. “Don’t let Rebellimon hear that. He’ll chop shop till there is nothing but its tires.” Said Hack as Mach rev up and spin in the cyberspace. “I’ll crash into him before he harms my love!” He yelled as Hack got in. “I’ll make sure that won’t happen.” He said “After all, he’s after good parts, not rusted parts.” Machmon drove Hack to his destination. Canterlot High The Rainbooms stayed back after school to solve this problem but no matter where they go, they can’t find any Equestria Magic. “What is going on?!” Said Sunset. “This is too weird!” Yelled Rainbow Dash. “We’re the heroes here and yet, we can’t fix this!” She yelled. “For the last time, Dash.” Spoked Applejack “We’re not heroes!” She spoke. “We’ll only try to stop this.” Said Fluttershy as Pinkie Pie was bouncing around. “My Pinkie Senses are going odd!” she said. “I sense the culprit is here, but it feels like he or she isn’t actually here!” She said as they looked around. “This culprit must be caught!” Said Rarity. “They used the sewing machines to destroy the clothes I made and the clothes I wore!” she complained as her dress had some large stitches and a distinct pattern of cloth on her dress. “So, humiliating for a lady.” She told Twilight to write notes on paper since anything like a smartphone gets their data erased. “For all we know, it only affects all electronics.” Said Twilight “So the possibilities of it being Equestria Magic is 0.0%.” She said as Rainbow stomped. “Then what are we dealing with?!” she screamed. “I’m afraid that this isn’t something you can manage.” The Rainbooms turned to see VP Luna. “Vice-Principal Luna!” They all said. “What do you mean?” Asked Sunset. “My sister hired the Cyber Sleuth to solve this case.” Explained Luna, which confused Dash. “The Cyber what?” She spoke. “The Cyber Sleuth.” Luna repeated “A detective that solves any case that involves anything whether or not it's online. For this reason, we hired him to solve it as a case.” She explained the situation which angered Rainbow. “Oh, come on!” She complained, “For all we know, this Cyber Cloth could have caused this to make a quick buck!” She said as Luna narrowed her eyes at them. “The chief of the Canterlot Police & the head of the Investigations Department recommended the Cyber Sleuth, Rainbow Dash. I recommend you stop making any false allegations.” She said that Rainbow Dash looked scared and confused. “False what?” “Blaming someone who did nothing.” Twilight dumb it down for her. Applejack turned to her. “I suggest you watch that mouth of yours.” Said Applejack “The local police have been complaining about us using our magic to cause some trouble.” She said “Granny Smith is mad at me for kicking down our competitor’s trees which got me grounded for 2 months.” She said as Fluttershy looked down. “The neighbors have been complaining about me using my geode to attract any strays towards my home and they’ve been relieving themselves in their lawns.” She said sadly as they turned to Rainbow. “What?” she said as Luna walked up to her. “We also got complaints of a strong wind that’s been knocking down their trash cans when they get their morning papers.” She said which Rainbow gulped. “Either you all control yourselves, or Celestia and I will confiscate those geodes of yours.” She said, which made them protective of them. “(Muffle Voice) Once you have a taste of power, you cannot help but be tainted by its corruption.” They all turned to see a weirdo in a weird getup. “Who the heck are you?” Said Rainbow as Fluttershy backed away as Luna walked up to him. “Are you the Cyber Sleuth?” she asked. “Yes.” He spoke. “Ahh… thank you for coming.” She said as she and him gave a firm handshake. “Now, will you lead these… children out of the building?” He asked which ticked Rainbow. “HEY! We’re not kids and we’re not going anywhere!” She said as Celestia walked in. “Yes, you are Miss Dash.” She said which made her jump, “Or will you spend the next 3 weekends replanting the school’s football field without magic after your last speed run?” She said which made her gulp and turned to the Cyber Sleuth. “This isn’t over.” She said as she walked out as Sunset was about to read his mind, he stepped back before she could grab him. “What are you doing?” He asked Sunset “May I teach you that grabbing strangers or strangers grabbing you is considered sexual harassment?” He said which made Sunset jump back. “WHAT?!” She said while blushing. “My friends in the police departments have seen you grabbing people. They don’t know why but they’ve considered it as harassment.” He said which made Celestia grab Sunset’s shoulders. “I’ll have a word with her.” She said as she and Luna led them out of the school. “I recommend you stop reading people’s minds. Given how you do it, it is considered some acts of perversion.” Said Celestia. “But how can we-” “He’s been doing these cases before you got your magic.” Answered Celestia. “I’m starting to see that you depend on your geodes too much, you suspect anyone that is odd. His receptionist explains that the disguise is to hide his identity from any criminal accomplices. So, I recommend you stop using your geodes, you’re jumping to conclusions for the wrong reasons.” Said Celestia, which made Sunset grab her geode. (“Is it possible that having these geodes makes us jumpy?”) Thought Sunset as The Cyber Sleuth walked to find the cause. The Computer Lab Hack made it to the computer class as he turned on one of the computers. “Time to go to work.” Hack said to himself as he placed his hand in front of the screen as a portal appeared as he was absorbed into it, and it vanished in thin air. Network Tunnel Hack was floating in a network tunnel. As 3 Digimon appeared next to him. “Alright, Dorumon, Kudamon & BlackGuilmon! Let’s get to work!” Said Hack “We have to find the source of the havoc in school. Let’s go!” “YEAH!” They all cheered as they ran after Hack as he flew through the tunnel as they were looking for the problem in Canterlot High network to discover a Digimon that was wrecking up the network. It had gray skin, a round head, green eyes, a large mouth, long antennae, and a frill around its neck. Its arms are long and thin, and its hands have a symbol on the backs. Its torso seems to consist of strips of flesh that dangle separately at the lower end. “Hey…” Said Dorumon “I’ve known that Digimon.” Hack turned to him. “You do?” “So do I.” Said BlackGuilmon. “Uh… what’s his name again?” Kudamon shook his head. “That is Keramon.” Kudamon answered, “You wouldn’t remember his name because he’s only been in Digi-school for one day.” She explained that Hack went to his Digivice and pressed an app that had a Digimon holding a book as the picture. “Sensei Bokomon.” Said Hack as a Digimon wearing a lab coat with a pink haramaki holding a book. “Ah… Hack. How may I help you?” He asked. “Can you give me some info on a Digimon called Keramon?” He asked, Bokomon didn’t look happy. “Wait a moment, please?” He said as he materialized himself from Hack’s Digivice and turned to the Keramon that was wrecking the system. “Ah… yes. I know this one personally.” He said “Keramon was once a student in my school.” Hack looked at him. “Once?” “I had to expel him after he attacked some Digimon to load their data to Digivolve himself.” He said as Hack looked disgusted. “How revolting.” He spoke. “Exactly, he blamed me, but he also blamed education and school for being rejected.” Said Bokomon as Hack realized it. “So, he’s wrecking the network in my school as payback against you?” He said, which made him mad. “Normally, I don’t make it personal, but he made a girl that annoys me so much, landed on me. It's personal.” He said his Digimon team looked concerned for him as he marched to Keramon. “HEY!” He yelled as Keramon turned to Hack. “What the? A human in cyberspace?” He said Bokomon appeared next to him. “YOU!” Screamed Keramon. “That’s right!” Yelled Bokomon “I see that you haven’t changed your personality.” He said “Attacking and frightening poor humans as vengeance against me! I cannot let you continue to do this!” He yelled as Keramon snarled at him. BUG BLASTER Keramon spews out a bullet of light at Bokomon, but Hack grabs him and jumps out of the way. “I can see negotiation is off.” He said Keramon laughed at Hack. “Negotiations are for the weak!” He yelled as he began to glow and turned into a cocoon with spikes and tentacles. “And he Digivolved.” Said Hack as Bokomon looked worried. “He Digivolved into Chrysalimon, a Champion-Level. Beware of his Data Crusher and his Misconnecting or your data will be deleted, Hack.” Warned Bokomon. “Got it.” He spoke. “*Maniacal Laughing* This is the power I wanted! I’ll destroy all your precious schools!” He yelled as Hack pulled out his Digivice. “Not today or any other day.” Said Hack as it glowed and Kudamon, Dorumon & BlackGuilmon glowed. “Kudamon Digivolve to… Reppamon!” “Dorumon Digivolve to… Dorugamon!” “BlackGuilmon Digivolve to… BlackGrowlmon!” Three Champion-Level Digimon appeared, which shocked Chrysalimon. “WHAT?! HOW?! I DEFEATED MANY DIGIMON AND ABSORB THEIR DATA!!! I WORKED HARD FOR IT! WHY ARE YOU WEAKLINGS DIGIVOLVE WITH EASE?!” He yelled at Bokomon and looked at him. “They Digivolved because they have a bond with Hack!” He yelled as they smiled hearing that. “They are equals to him as they see him as their equal!” He yelled as Chrysalimon snarled. “THAT’S GARBAGE!!!” He roared. DATA CRUSHER Chrysalimon fired his tentacles at Hack as Reppamon stopped them with her tail. “You won’t hurt our friend!” she yelled LION CLAW Reppamon slashed Chrysalimon’s tentacles off as he screamed as both Dorugamon and BlackGrowlmon tackled Chrysalimon into the ground. “NOW!” yelled Hack. POWER METAL BLACK EXHAUST FLAME Dorugamon fired a large iron ball from its mouth as BlackGrowlmon breathed a stream of black fire at Chrysalimon, who screamed as Reppamon jumped in the air. ROLLING TACKLE She yelled as she dropped and spun as her tail went through Chrysalimon. “NO!!!” Screamed Chrysalimon as he disintegrated into data, leaving a large purple egg with green eyeball patterns on it. “Threat taken down.” Said Hack as he picked up the egg. “If only he listens to his teacher.” He turned to Bokomon. “Do you want the egg? All Digimon who get turned back to a Digi-Egg lose all their memories, if that is correct?” Bokomon nodded. “Maybe he’ll be reborn as a good Digimon with the right teacher?” He said as he handed the Digi-Egg to Bokomon. “I’ll raise him to be good.” He said as he turned to his team and gave them the thumbs up. “Great work, pals.” He said as he looked at the damages, “Now we got to restore all this damage.” He said as he looked at his Digivice. “Datamon? Can you restore this damaged network?” Hack asked. A small machine creature appeared from his Digivice. “(Shy female voice) Uh… I can… I can also improve the firewall and Wi-Fi to make sure no viruses can cause any destruction or lagging, if it’s okay?” She asked nervously as Hack smiled. “Only if you promise me you won't use the Wi-Fi to look at computer blueprints.” He said, which made Datamon blush. “Uh… I’m sorry for that.” She said as she went to work improving while Hack and the other cleaned up the damage. MEANWHILE, INSIDE THE SCHOOL Rainbow Dash sneaked back inside while Celestia and Luna weren’t looking as Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer grabbed her by the shoulders. “And what are you doing here?” Said Sunset as Rainbow looked nervous. “Uh…” “You’re trying to interfere with The Cyber Sleuth.” Said Twilight which made her flinch, “Is your ego more important listening to what others say and can do that you can’t do?” Rainbow pouted as if something flew past them. “What was that?!” Yelled Sunset as the others came in, even Celestia and Luna came but were angry. “Your punishment will start this weekend, young lady.” Said Celestia. “And your geode along with the others will be confiscated.” Said Luna which made them sad but mad at Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy looked up to see something hanging in the shadows. “Is that a bat?” She said which scared Rarity. “AHHH!!! A flying rat with wings! It might have rabies!” The bat in the shadows spread its wings and flew to the group to reveal a round bat creature with big talons and a blue mask with a skull on it. “(Little girl’s voice) Who are you calling a rat with wings!?” She yelled at Rarity which made them look shocked by a big bat that’s talking. “Uh… Sunset… Are there any talking bats in Equestria?” Asked Pinkie which freaked out Sunset. “THERE ARE NO TALKING BATS IN EQUESTRIA!!!” She yelled, which made the bat look at them. “Equestria?” She said which shocked her “It’s the nosy animal girls! You’re not supposed to be here!” Rainbow grabbed it. “I knew it! That freak with the mask is the culprit for this!” yelled Rainbow Dash which made the bat creature angry. “Don’t frame my friend!” She yelled and bit Rainbow’s arm. “GAAAHHH!!!” Rainbow released her and turned to the group. “Go to bed!” EVIL WHISPER The bat’s eyes glowed as it affected them as they all fell asleep. “Oh dear… Lucemon will smack me for this.” She said as she saw the Art Class behind them and gave a grin. “But first… a little fun.” She said and she flew into the classroom. 5 Minutes Later “Hello? Hello?"said Hack as he tried to wake up the Rainbooms & Co-Principal Sisters. They all woke up to see Hack, which Rainbow screamed. “Take that mask off!” She yelled. “Learn some modesty.” He said “Also what is with the graffiti on your faces?” He asked as they all looked at each other, they all started laughing as Rarity screamed as she looked at her compact mirror. “Who did this to me!” She yelled as Hack looked at them. “Uh… I didn't do this to you but I think you need to wash the paint off.” He said as he walked out “I’ll send you my routing number for you to transfer the money.” He said as he walked away. “Wait a minute!” Yelled Rainbow as Luna grabbed Rainbow and removed her geode. “Your punishment will start this weekend.” She said as Rainbow groaned. Hack’s Warehouse Hack got out of Machmon’s car as he had Demidevimon on his shoulder. “You better tell why you doodle on their faces.” He said Demidevimon looked sad. “I’m sorry but I was doing my job to prevent any students from entering the school, but I was called a rat with wings and the rainbow haired one grabbed me and talked about how you caused the destruction to get rich!” She explained “I couldn’t let her talk smack about you.” She said as Hack patted her head. “Just don’t let them get to you next time.” Spoke Hack as he turned to her. “You didn’t leave any graffiti when you were there?” He asked as Demidevimon shook her head. “Nope.” Rainbow was being dragged by her friends. “Your ego got you in trouble, Dashy!” Said Applejack as Rainbow frowned as she saw a big bite mark on her arm. “What the?” She said as she showed her bite mark to them “When did I get this?” She said as Pinkie gasped. “That big talking bat!” She yelled as Fluttershy remembered it. “Didn’t she say that The Cyber Sleuth is her friend and don’t frame him?” She spoke, which made them curious. “Who is he or her?” Said Sunset. Author's Note Uh-oh... The Rainbooms are now thinking Hack AKA The Cyber Sleuth is responsible for the destruction in their school. Who knows when they'll discover his identity but anyway, have a nice day, leave a comment and feel free to give case idea for me to use. You rate their difficulties by stars between 1 to 5. 1 star means easy and 5 mean hardest. So don't go overboard, write the title and details and I'll do the rest Chapter 3Malware was back in school, Celestia and Luna sent massive emails that the situation involving all the electronics and internet repaired, all thanks to The Cyber Sleuth AKA Malware got his payment, $300, since he didn’t want to charge them too much after a job well done and work for an hour. He made it to school to see every student standing outside, even the teachers. Mal looked to see who to talk to. He looked around and saw the Diamond Dudes digging. “Hey, Rover, Fido and Spot.” Said Mal as they turned to see Malware. “Mal.” they said in sync. “What’s going on?” He asked while pointing his thumb at the crowd. “All are afraid of school.” Said Rover. “After all, phones, computers, and machines go nuts.” Said Fido. “They worried about their stuff being erased but hoping for their Search History to get erased.” Said Spot, which Malware looked at them. “Don’t we all?” Said Malware as he noticed the Rainbooms but noticed that Rainbow Dash’s arm was bandaged. “What happened to Rainbow Dash?” asked Mal. “She talked about how a big bat bit her.” Said Rover, which made Mal flinch. “A big bat?” He asked. “She said it talked.” Said Fido. “It was silly to believe bats can talk.” Said Spot. “Maybe magic rocks making them out of control.” Mal grabbed his arm, thinking of a way to change the subject of the bat. Who he knows is Demidevimon. “Uh… hey fellas! Want to see my new drawings?” He asked as they stopped and looked at him. “Yeah!” they said as they saw Mal’s drawings and liked them. He pulled out his sketchbook and showed them what he drew. “I made a few rookie and champion levels this time. Ultimate and Mega are next week.” He said as he showed some drawings. “This one is Garurumon.” “Cool…,” said Rover. Mal showed another one. “This one is called Dobermon.” “Sweet.” Said Fido. Mal showed another one. “And this one is Komondomon.” “Impressive!” Yelled Spot. “How do you make wonderful drawings?” He asked. “Uh… inspiration.” Answer Malware but in truth. FLASHBACK Malware was inside a digital farm where the Digimon can grow their own food and bathrooms for them to relieve themselves. (AUTHOR’S NOTE: I know that’s gross, but it's in some Digimon games where it was mandatory or else you’ll face the consequences of not letting them go to the bathroom.) Mal was relaxing near a tree while drawing Garurumon, Dobermon & Komondomon, who were playing or training with some equipment. “Inspiration by a moment of thought.” Said Mal as he showed 3 different drawings of rookie level Digimon. “This is Bearmon, DemiMeramon & Ukkomon.” He said as they gave him the thumbs up, but Mal saw Celestia and Luna were at the entrance with a megaphone. “It’s Celestia and Luna!” He said, which made the Diamond Dudes pay attention to them. “Attention, students and faculty staff!” Said Celestia. “We are happy to let you know that the situation involving all electronic devices and school networks have been fixed by the Infamous Cyber Sleuth.” She said which made some happy but some confused and Rainbow Dash stuck her tongue hearing the Cyber Sleuth’s title. “Wait!” Yelled Norman “You mean that this wasn’t a magical problem?!” He asked as Luna spoke. “No. This time, it didn’t involve magic from the other world!” She said “So if you think that it was a magic problem, please apologize to Sunset and her friends for trying to fix a non-magical problem!” She said as everyone apologized to Sunset and the other Rainbooms. “The Cyber Sleuth who fixed our problem, told us that a programmer’s education program went rogue.” Said Luna which surprised the staff and students. “Instead of educating our youths, it turned into a delinquent program that copied those tv programs and digital comics of delinquents.” She said which made them look confused as Malware spoke out. “It’s like bugs and glitches you see in games or shows.” He said “I mean doesn’t that happen to anyone?” Spoke Malware as they all agreed. “Now, all the electronics and the network are all fixed.” Explained Celestia “He even managed to upgrade our firewalls and Wi-Fi a bit, free of charge.” The students cheered on hearing that. “But that doesn’t mean you can use it for your videos or order things out of state.” spoke Luna who they all gave a half-hearted cheer. Mal walked up. “Given all that said, can we go to school, or we’ll have our time in school extended?” He said, which made them worried that they’ll spend more time in school since they have some practices or work shifts after school. Celestia and Luna opened the door as they let them in. “Come on in.” She said as the students went inside. Rainbow Dash was stomping while she was marching in the school. Science Class Mal was with Twilight Sparkle, mixing some chemicals as Mal noticed something odd about Twilight. “Hey…” Twilight looked at him “Where’s your magic rock?” “Geode.” Twilight corrected him “It’s been confiscated, along with the others.” She said as Mal raised his brow. “Confiscated?” He asked Twilight to turn on the burner to heat up the chemical slowly. “Rainbow Dash couldn’t control her ego and tried to sneak in where The Cyber Sleuth was working. She was trying to solve the problem before him but got caught and punished for it.” “So why-” “Our geodes are connected, if one is confiscated, all are confiscated.” Answered Twilight as Mal looked at her. “Understandable.” He said “I hope the lack of the geode won’t make you or the others do something stupid.” He said but realized his mistake. “On second thought, make sure Rainbow Dash doesn’t do anything stupid.” Corrected Malware as Twilight sighed. “I wonder how he managed to fix the school network? I would like to contact him.” She said to herself as Mal looked at her. “Uh… I think anyone can call him but only if you have a case for him. But if you fabricated a case to talk to him, he might blacklist you.” Spoke Mal as Twilight sighed. “Fabricating a case just to catch a guy who was doing his job is literally a crime.” She said as Mal sighed. “You better make sure Rainbow doesn’t do that.” He said as they poured the heated chemical in a beaker as the chemical reaction created an odor that smelled good, like chocolate. “Mmm… chocolate.” He said happily. Lunch Malware decided to eat lunch from a different location from the lunch room. Thankfully Celestia and Luna allow students who brought their own lunch to eat outside. Mal decided to eat in the school’s garden since no one goes there. He walked to a bench as he passed Wallflower Blush. “Hey Wallflower.” He said which shocked her. “Did Sunset tell you I exist?” she asked. “No. I always knew you existed but given that Magic of Friendship stuff happening everywhere, I try not to make… human friends. Only human acquaintances.” He said, which made Wallflower look down. “That’s almost like me.” She said “I mean I have plants before.” Wallflower looked away and noticed something different in her garden. “Wait a minute… where did that big egg come from?” She said, “which made Mal flinch. “Big egg?” He turned to see Wallflower checking a large green egg with yellow polka dots. “*GASP*” he said, which made her turn to him. “What?” She said as he shook his head. “Uhh… nothing! I mean… something weird has appeared in this school again!” he yelled as he looked around to make sure no one was watching. “Uh… are you the only member of the Garden Club?” He asked as he looked around. “Yes… I’m its only founder.” Answered Wallflower. “Good…” He said “I better take that egg away. From… anyone who wants to make an omelet or an experiment.” He said as he walked towards it, but Wallflower snatched it up. “Hold on a moment!” She yelled, which freaked Mal. “SHHH!!!” He shushed her. “No one cannot learn about this egg.” He said quietly. “Let me take it because only I know what it is, and I cannot let anyone else know about them.” Explained Mal which made Wallflower raise her brow. “And what’s stopping me from screaming to let anyone see this egg?” Said Wallflower. “You are a curious girl who can’t listen to others?” He said as Wallflower shook her head. “No. This isn’t the 1st time I’ve dealt with magic.” She answered. “Except that egg isn’t magic.” He spoke. They both paused as they looked at the egg, it started to have cracks on it. “Uh-oh…,” said Mal. “That is never a good sign. What does it mean?” she asked. “It’s hatching… Digitama is hatching!” Panicked Malware. “Digi-what?” Said Wallflower as the egg hatched to reveal a very hairy creature. “*Baby talk*” said the creature. “Oh, boy…” said Malware as the creature looked at Wallflower as she stared at it. “So…” (“Here comes the scream…”) “CUTE!” she said as she hugged it. “Of course… all, baby Digimon, always get the cute squeal.” Said Malware as Wallflower turned to him. “What’s a Digimon?” She said as Malware looked at it and sighed. He removed his backpack, opened it to pull out a baby formula powder and a baby bottle. “Why do you have those?” she asked. “For any baby Digimon I find.” Answered Malware as he turned to her. “We’re going to need boiling water.” He said Wallflower led him to the Gardening club, borrowed some water to boil, a teapot and a portable burner. He cleaned his hands and the bottle, took off the teapot to let it cool, poured it into the baby bottle, poured the formula powder, closed it, shook it up, quickly cooled the baby bottle and dried it up. Before he could give it to the baby, he checked the temperature of it before he gave it to the baby Digimon. “Here you go, Yuramon. Drink up.” He said Yuramon started drinking as Wallflower held the bottle while holding Yuramon. “Aww…” she said as she turned to Malware. “What’s a Digimon?” She said, which made Mal flinch. “You know more than you think?” She spoke. “Uh…” “*LOUD LAUGHING* She got you there!” Wallflower looked surprised as Mal groaned. “Shut it, Lucemon! You lazy deadbeat!” He said as his phone shined as bright light as a kid with angel wings holding a bucket of chicken tenders appeared, floating in midair. “Don’t blame me!” He said. “You know you’ll have to deal with other people who will know about Digimon, eventually.” He said as he moved his eyes to see Wallflower staring at him. “Staring is rude, you know?” He spoke. “Are you… an angel?!” she asked “Angel-Type.” Said Malware “But to be honest, Demon fits him more.” Lucemon sticks out his tongue and pulls his lower eyelid down. “The Akanbe pose? Really?” He said Lucemon flew to see the baby Digimon. “You know… I’m surprised that this egg appears without me sensing it.” He said as Mal turned to it. “You know, Digitamas are the only things that don’t release a powerful data spike.” Said Malware as Lucemon frowned. “I know that, but one appearing in this freaky school must have made my senses dull. I blame those magic animals from the other world.” He said as Wallflower looked at Malware. “Can you please tell me what are Digimon?” She asked politely, as they both knew they can’t erase her memories without erasing everything about her as Lucemon flew to her while eating. “I’ll explain.” He said “Digimon are literally us. Yuramon and me. It's short for Digital Monsters.” He said which confused Wallflower. “Monsters?! Wait… Digital?” “That’s right. Digimon are living data creatures you see online. In fact, it’s a parallel world that’s connected to your world’s internet.” He said which shocked her. “You mean… all those computer games and programs… are…” She stuttered. “Not exactly.” Said Lucemon “It's more like all those things you imagine but like a town made of toys, a city that’s on the side of a cliff, a massive city on the back of a giant Digimon. Like your myths and legends but better. They’re real.” He said, which surprised Wallflower. “Oh my…” She said in a state of shock as she looked at Yuramon. “So, this one is a Digimon, like you?” she asked. “Yuramon, a Fresh Digimon. It’s a Seed-Type and is like a dandelion seed, letting the wind blow it anywhere in the land.” Explained Lucemon as Wallflower looked at it. “A seed?” She asked as it started to glow. “*GASP* What’s happening?!” Mal and Lucemon looked surprised. “It's Digivolving!” They yelled in shock as Yuramon transformed from a hairy ball into a plant with legs. It blinked and looked at Wallflower. “(Baby Voice) Wall… flower…” All 3 of them flinched. “Wallflower! Wallflower!” It said happily as Lucemon looked at it. “Yuramon Digivolve into Tanemon.” He said that Malware scanned it. “Tanemon, an In-Training Digimon. A plant-type Digimon that looks like a plant sprout burgeoning from its head. Due to its extremely timid personality, if it senses an intruder's presence, it will burrow with the four feet at the base of its body and completely bury its body under the ground. Once it is completely hidden underground, the thing growing from its head assumes the camouflage of a plant, allowing it to defend its body from intruders.” Explained Mal as Tanemon jumped from Wallflower’s arms and on the floor while walking. “Wallflower! Wallflower!” it said as Malware picked it up. “Congratulations, your name is its 1st word.” He said Wallflower blush. “Aww…” said Wallflower as Tanemon jumped from Mal’s arms and into Lucemon’s bucket. “What the?!” He said Tanemon started eating Lucemon’s chicken tenders. “That’s my chicken!” He yelled in anger. “Give it to the baby, you big baby!” Said Malware “Tanemon needs some nourishment before she can Digivolve into her Rookie level.” He said Wallflower turned to Mal. “How many levels are there?” she asked. “Digitama, Fresh, In-Training, Rookie, Champion, Ultimate and Mega.” Mal explained “There’s also special stages like Armor, Hybrid, Burst, DNA and Mode Change but let’s start with the basics.” He said Tanemon was eating up Lucemon’s chicken tenders. “Ugh… there goes my lunch.” He complained as he looked at them “What are we going to do about Tanemon? It can’t stay here nor has someone found out its existence.” He said as Mal looked at it. “But I’m more curious, what’s a Digitama doing here?” “(Female Voice) It came here by accident.” All three of them turned to see a female human in a Japanese schoolgirl’s uniform that’s shredded with green spiky yo-yos. “Uh-oh…” Said Lucemon. “You know her, do you?” “Heard of her.” Said Lucemon “That’s BanchoLillymon, a mega and one of the 5 Bancho Digimon.” He said, Mal looked worried “And the hottest of the 5.” He added as Mal and Wallflower looked at him. “Seriously?” They said as she walked towards them with a menacing look as she turned to see Tanemon eating. “The egg hatched?” She asked as they nodded. “*Sigh of relief* Thank goodness, I was worried when it was hit by a hurricane.” She said which worried Wallflower. “What hurricane?” she asked. “There was no hurricane near-” Mal covered her mouth. “She’s saying that there was a hurricane in the Digital World.” Said Mal “Remember, both worlds are connected.” They looked at her. “I took that hurricane out before it destroyed the Village of Beginnings.” Explained BanchoLillymon. “The Village of Beginnings?” Asked Wallflower. “It’s where all Digitamas go when a Digimon is destroyed. When they’re destroyed, their remaining data is formed into a Digitama and appears there to begin life anew.” Said Lucemon. “Life anew?” Said Wallflower. “When our forms are destroyed, we hatch from Digitamas and start out life again but have no memories of our past life.” Explained Lucemon. “We don’t really die but it's like those video games where you lose everything and start all over.” He spoke. “That’s dark.” Said Wallflower. “But it gives some Digimon redemption of their past crimes.” Said Mal “So they don’t give another Digimon to hate them for something they didn’t do.” He explained as BanchoLillymon patted Tanemon’s head. “Wallflower! Wallflower!” it said as BanchoLillymon looked at Wallflower and her plants and smirked. “I can see you taking care of these plants.” She spoke. “How can you tell?” “I can sense these plants’ emotions. You care for them like friends.” Answered BanchoLillymon “If my other fellow plant Digimon were here, they’ll exchange stories with you.” She said while smiling. “Uh… BanchoLillymon?” Asked Wallflower “Is the Digital World… beautiful?” BanchoLillymon looked at her. “Yes, it's all beautiful, from the brightest and lushiest forests to the dark and dreary graveyards.” She answered, “It's home to all kinds of Digimon.” Mal looked at Tanemon, who was drinking water. “What are we going to do about Tanemon?” He asked. “We can’t let anyone see her.” BanchoLillymon looked at her and picked Tanemon up. “I can sense Tanemon’s feelings. She wants to stay with Wallflower.” She said Wallflower looked happy but sad, but BanchoLillymon snapped her fingers. “Let me see your Digivice.” She spoke. “Digi what?” Said Wallflower. “Never mind.” Said BanchoLillymon as she grabbed her phone. “Let me make it into those things you humans call ‘apps’.” She said she created an app on her phone. “There.” She showed Wallflower the app “This is a Digivice App. This will let you hold Tanemon and take her anywhere with no one seeing her. Promise me you’ll watch her.” She said as Wallflower nodded and turned to Mal. “Also you let me know of their progress.” She said as Mal gave the thumbs up as the door to the club was opened by Sunset Shimmer. “Hey Wallflower. I’m sorry for not seeing you yesterday, but given what happened, I-” She saw Malware with a girl in a shredded schoolgirl uniform and a plant creature. “*GASP*” Before she could say anything, Lucemon kicked her in the head as she knocked out. “What did you do that for!” “She saw them! I had to do something!” Said Lucemon “Also I don’t want their world’s magic messing up the Digital World.” He spoke. “You could have killed her?!” Yelled Mal. “You may be Rookie Level, but you are a powerful Rookie who can take down 10 skyscrapers!” He said as Lucemon checked her pulse. “She’s still alive.” He said as Mal looked at the situation. “Okay, let’s stage an accident.” He said, which confused them as he pointed at one of the flower pots hanging on the ceiling. “One of the ceiling flower pots fell on her as the ceiling panel broke.” He said Lucemon looked at them. “Okay… better than having her whacked.” He said. They all looked at him with disgust. “I’ve been watching too many Mobster movies.” 10 minutes later Sunset woke up to see the school nurse, Redheart, Malware and Wallflower Blush. “She’s awake.” Said Mal as Nurse Redheart checked on her. “Thank goodness you’re alright.” She spoke. “What… what happened?” she asked. “One of the ceiling flower pots landed on your head.” Said Wallflower. “I’m sorry for that accident.” She said as Sunset felt the bruise on her head. “Ow…” she said as she looked around. “Wait… where’s that girl in the shredded clothes and that plant creature?” She asked as Mal cleared his throat. “I don’t know about a girl but the plant creature.” He said as he pulled out Tanemon from his backpack “Is actually a plushie I made.” He said as Sunset grabbed it and felt fabric. “Huh?” “I… wanted to make some plushies of my drawings and I wanted Wallflower to see it since it was a plant-base creature.” He explained “Maybe Celestia and Luna confiscating your geodes might ease you all. You’ve gotten a bit jumpy on anything different.” Said Mal as Sunset looked down, thinking that it's true. “Sunset.” Said Wallflower who took the Tanemon plush and gave it to her “Maybe this will calm you down.” She said as they left the Nurse’s Office as Sunset looked at it as Nurse Redheart looked at it. “It does look cute.” She said Sunset smile. “Very cute.” Mal and Wallflower sighed in relief, they were in her garden. “Did she believe it?” BanchoLillymon who came from hiding from the trees. “She believed it and the doll worked.” Said Wallflower. “All thanks to Arukenimon.” He said, a huge spider creature came from hiding. “(Female Voice) I never thought making identical plushies of Fresh & In-Training Digimon would help.” She said politely as Calumon landed on her head. “Your plushies saved the day! You should sell them to the humans!” He said happily as Arukenimon blushed. “Thank you.” She said as she pulled out another one of Tanemon plushie and handed it to BanchoLillymon. “I know this isn’t a real Digimon, but it might help you know one is taken care of.” She said as BanchoLillymon took it. “Thanks.” She said as a black cat wearing a coat and backpack. “BlackGatomon Uver?” Said Mal as BanchoLillymon smirked. “BlackGatomon Uver is part of a group of Digimon to bring some Digimon back to the Digital world who want to go home or worse, are too troublesome.” She explained. “I asked this one to help you find them troublesome. Don’t worry, Banco Golemon and BanchoMamemon handle troublesome Digimon, so they don’t give us a bad name.” She said as Mal shook BlackGatomon Uver’s paw. “Good to collaborate with you.” He said as BlackGatomon Uver smiled and nodded. “I’ll visit you to check Tanemon.” Said BanchoLillymon as BlackGatomon Uver opened a gate. “Let’s have lunch someday!” She said as she went back home. “Whoa…” said Wallflower “I never thought there was a world on the internet.” She said as Malware sighed “Promise me, you won’t tell the Rainbooms.” He said “I don’t want them to let that magic world know. They might use it to send their monsters there.” He said as Wallflower thought about it. “Like how I found that Memory-Erasing Stone.” She said which confused Mal. “What stone?” He asked. “Never mind.” She said quickly and waved goodbye to her. “I’ll let you know when she Digivolves.” Said Wallflower as Mal sighed. “This is one weird day that didn’t involve magic.” He said and went to class. After School, Pinkie’s Home Pinkie invited her friends with a slumber party to cheer them up after having their geodes confiscated, especially Rainbow Dash. “UGH!!! I can’t believe that Cyber Jerk did better than us!” She complained. “UGH!!! Enough with the complaining already!” Said Applejack. “Agree, that gentleman was doing his job. Even if he was a bit rude, he was thinking of our safety.” Answered Rarity. “SAFETY!?” Yelled Rainbow, “We have magic! We can-” “Magic can’t solve everything!” Yelled Sunset “I’m thinking that Principal Celestia was right that the geodes have been making us jumpy.” She said as pulled out the Tanemon plush from her bag “I nearly thought this was alive.” She said Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy and Twilight were charmed by it. “Cute!” They said as they crowd around her looking at it. “Those eyes are so cute!” Said Rarity as Applejack blushed at it. “Who made that?” she asked. “Apparently… that Malware guy.” Answered Sunset as Rainbow snickered. “Really? He made that?” She said “It’s too girly.” They looked at her. “Don’t be mean.” Said Fluttershy “I’ve seen his drawings, and he made tortoise drawings.” Rainbow looked interested. “He did!” She said which made her embarrassed. “You sounded interested.” Said Sunset with a smirk as Twilight looked at her phone. “I just want to know one thing, who is that Cyber Sleuth that fixed the school’s network?” She wondered. “(Dull Tone) Did you say Cyber Sleuth?” They turned to see Maud. “Hi Maud!” Said Pinkie. “Hello Pinkie. Hello Pinkie’s friends.” She said “I heard you talk about the Cyber Sleuth?” She said as they nodded. “I’ve hired him before.” She said which surprised The Rainbooms. “What?!” They said as Maud grabbed a chair to sit down. “It happened one month ago.” She said as she’ll tell The Rainbooms the story about her 1st meeting with the Cyber Sleuth while outside, a woman wearing a mask and in leather was on a motorcycle doing stunts, she was going very fast as a cop car was chasing her a portal open to make her disappear. The cops stopped as it left them baffled. “What just happened?” Said one of the cops. Author's Note Oh boy... Wallflower became a Tamer by a Mega Digimon but don't expect her to be part of Malware's Sleuth work. Also prepare for a flashback memory of Maud talked about her previous meeting with The Cyber Sleuth. Leave a comment and have a happy new year! Also that Digimon who was on the motorcycle was Beel Starmon. Chapter 4“It happened one month ago.” Said Maud Pie as she’ll tell The Rainbooms the story about her 1st meeting with the Cyber Sleuth. “Wait…” She pulled out her pet rock, Boulder, from her pocket. “Boulder would like to hear this as well, he met a very interesting living rock.” She said which confused them, but Pinkie was. “A living rock! This I got to hear!” Yelled Pinkie happily. “When I wanted to show my theory of mineral history to the Elemental College of my choice, I was completing my document about minerals and Mudbriar was working on his document about wood.” She explained which confused Pinkie. “Who’s Mudbriar?” she asked. “My boyfriend.” Answered Maud Pie which made Pinkie’s jaw drop and her hair deflated. “WWWWWHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTT!?!?!?!?!?” She screamed as Pinkie crawled to her sister. “WHY HAVEN’T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS?!” She said as she grabbed Maud’s shirt. “I wanted to surprise you last.” She said as Pinkie looked at her. “You mean you told-” “Mother, Father, Limestone & Marble.” She answered as she patted Pinkie’s head. “I wanted to surprise you when I was ready.” She said, Pinkie made a dramatic, yet silly faint. “Uh…” Said Sunset “Can we hear about the Cyber Sleuth, please?” She asked as Maud got up and sat on the ground with Pinkie on her lap and Boulder on Pinkie’s hair. “Of course.” Maud continued to tell her story. FLASHBACK, 1 MONTH AGO Maud was in the library of the Elemental College, typing her knowledge and resources on minerals and rocks with Boulder next to the keyboard. “Well Boulder, what do you think? Should I add more or it’s enough” Maud Pie asked her pet rock. “…” “(Dull Tone) What do you think, Twiggy?” Maud looked up to see in front of her, a teenager with a stoic-expression with Moderate and grayish gamboge hair and yellowish gray skin, looking down on a small stick on a tissue made pillow. “…” “You are correct. I'll add the theory that petrified wood should be considered wood.” Said the young man as Maud listened to him. “Despite the wood materials being completely turned into completely mineral materials.” Answered Maud as the unknown teenager looked ahead of him as both of their eyes met. “Greetings, I am Mudbriar.” “Hello, I am Maud Pie.” “That’s how you met?!” Yelled Rarity in shock. “Correct.” Said Maud “We both gave our opinions on petrified wood whether it should be considered rock or wood. It felt like a crystal whose purity of an orderly lattice.” She answered as Pinkie still looked shocked while the others couldn’t answer what she said. “So… romantic…” spoke Rarity in a happy, yet confused expression. Later Maud and Mudbriar had their pets meet each other as they both smiled. “I’ve never seen Boulder this excited to meet someone who isn’t a rock.” She said happily (In her own expression). “Nor I seen Twiggy.” Said Mudbriar happily (In his own expression) “I tried to find him a playmate of over 100 types of sticks, but I believe he found a playmate that he can be with.” He explained. Maud and Mudbriar turned to each other until… “AAAHHHH!!!” They both turned to see a student on the laptop, a few steps away from them. “SSSSHHHH!!!” Shushed the librarian “Sorry! But my documents… they’re gone!” She yelled in horror as another person screamed outside the library. “My research data!” He yelled “IT'S BEEN STOLEN!!!” Maud and Mudbriar looked at each other and checked the computers they were using, to discover their research documents were gone. “(Monotone Screaming) No…” They screamed quietly in an emotionless way. “Your documents were stolen?!” Yelled Twilight in shock. “Yes…” Said Maud Pie sadly, “I’ve been writing my document for 4 years.” She said “All been stolen. Taken from me as our Family’s Ancestor Holder Cobblestone retrieved a boulder from a dragon’s nest.” Maud explained Pinkie was horrified while her friends didn’t know how to react to it. “And then you and Mudbriar called the Cyber Sleuth?” Fluttershy asked. “No.” Reply Maud “We learn about him from a little kid who was stealing fish & chips.” She answered which confused them. Maud shed a single tear as Mudbriar wiped it from her eye. “This is a heart-wrenching event.” Said Mudbriar. “Hmm-mmm.” She spoke. “Awww… ain’t you just a sad couple.” They turned to see a little kid in a trench coat, with a beanie eating a bucket with fish & chips in it. “Technically, we are not a couple.” Said Mudbriar. “And ‘Ain’t’ is not a word.” Said Maud Pie. “Well sorry but I’m not here for knowledge, mostly mooching this Elemental College’s food.” He said as he ate up an entire fish fry. “Who are you?” asked Mudbriar. “Uh… call me Lucifer.” He said as they both raised their brows. “Uh… please explain why you are here, Lucifer?” asked Maud. “I’m mostly doing my job.” He said as he pulled out some flyers he had in his backpack “Had to hide out because I placed them on the faculty cars.” He said he dropped two of the flyers near them. They both pick them up and read them. “‘Have a crime committed online?’” Said Maud Pie. “‘Hire the Cyber Sleuth at once!’” Said Mudbriar as they both looked at Lucifer. “Cyber Sleuth?” They both asked. “Yep. The Cyber Sleuth guarantees your case will be completed, no questions asked.” Said Lucifer. “But how-” “(Demonic Voice) I SAID NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!!” Lucifer repeated it, which surprised them by his sudden change in his voice tone. “But how can we trust him?” asked Maud which made Lucifer snicker. “Trust is a big thing, but he has the trust of the chief of the Canterlot Police & the head of the Investigations Department. If that isn’t enough, then I have records of his work.” He said which made them look at each other and looked down at Lucifer. “Can he… bring our documents back?” asked Mudbriar. “Back when your autosave happened.” Answer Lucifer. “THERE HE IS!!!” all three of them turned to see security “The food thief and intruder!” He yelled as Lucifer grabbed a library book and threw it at them. “You’ll never catch me alive!!!” He yelled as he threw it at a security guard’s crotch. “GAAHHH!” He screamed as Lucifer jumped through the window. “SO LONG SUCKERS!!!” Lucifer laughed as he escaped. “Get that brat!” Screamed one of the security guards as most of them ran after Lucifer while one limped because of the pain. Both Maud and Mudbriar looked at each other and thought about it. “HE JUMPED OUT OF THE WINDOW OF THE LIBRARY!” Screamed Twilight in shock as Maud nodded her head as Sunset got up. “Do you still have the flyer?” She asked as Maud nodded. “Can we have it?” “You Pinkie Promise not to cause any sorts of harm or trouble to The Cyber Sleuth?” Asked Maud as all but Maud turned to Rainbow Dash. “Rainbow…” They all said as she crossed her arms. “FINE! But I want to know what he did that we couldn’t!” She complained as Pinkie looked at her sister. “When will we get to the talking rock?” she asked. “Soon.” Said Maud “We called him, and his appearance was odd but technically, he wears those to hide his identity from criminal associates.” She explained as they remembered what VP Luna said about his work attire. Maud Pie and Mudbriar viewed The Cyber Sleuth doing his work. “Hmmm…” He said as he examined the laptop. “I believe that I have discovered something within this computer.” He said which made Maud & Mudbriar check behind him. “What is it?” asked Mudbriar. “A hidden program within this computer that takes non-students’ documents from here and their personal devices.” He explained which made them mad. “(Unemotional tone) Who would do this?” Said Mudbriar. “(Unemotional tone) And why?” Asked Maud as The Cyber Sleuth try to find out who made this until… “That doesn’t sound good.” Said The Cyber Sleuth as he got off the chair as the lights in the library started flashing and the computer screens were showing massive amounts of code. “Oh no…” He said as a portal with numbers and letters appeared. “What…” Said both Maud & Mudbriar as they were both pulled in, along with The Cyber Sleuth. “WHOA!!!” Screamed The Cyber Sleuth. “You were all sucked into a portal!” Yelled Sunset. “I believe it was a portal, but The Cyber Sleuth said it was an illusion created by the flashing lights within the library.” Said Maud Pie “Yes… that’s true.” Said Twilight “Flicker light stimulation can induce short-term alterations in consciousness including hallucinatory color perception and geometric patterns.” “In English, please.” Said Rainbow Dash. “The lights tricked her eyes.” Fluttershy answered. “Wait… so… what you saw was a big fat fake!” Said Rainbow who sighs. “LAME!!!” “It felt real.” Said Maud “Also the friends Mudbriar and I made healed Boulder & Twiggy when they got hurt.” She said, which made Pinkie gasp in horror. “Boulder got hurt?!” She yelled as she checked Boulder with a magnifying glass “I see no cracks on him.” Said Pinkie with a sigh as she kissed Boulder. “I’m thankful for your new friends.” She handed Maud Boulder back to her. “What’s your friend's name?” she asked. “And where do they live?” She asked as Applejack cleared her throat. “Uh… what happened after that portal?” She asked as Maud continued her story. Maud and Mudbriar woke up in a strange location. The Cyber Sleuth looked around and turned to them. “Oh dear… this is bad.” He said as they looked at him. “Where are we?” Asked Mudbriar as Maud checked the ground and looked a bit scared. “The ground isn’t made of any kind of earth?” She said as Mudbriar looked around to see no trees and saw there were only platforms, walls and pillars that were made of code, over a bottomless pit of darkness. “Mr. Sleuth…” Mudbriar started to feel scared. “What is this?” He asked as The Cyber Sleuth summoned a hologram keyboard and screens appeared before him as he typed to examine the area. “I’m afraid I cannot tell you without giving you a mental breakdown, but I will say that we’re still at the library of the Elemental College.” Explained The Cyber Sleuth as they looked at him. “But where are we?” asked Maud. *GROANED* They turned to the sound of the groaning as The Cyber Sleuth ran to the sound, checked behind a wall and gasped. “Oh dear…” he said as he bent down. “I need some aid! We have injured victims!” He yelled as Maud and Mudbriar walked to check and looked surprised to see a creature made of rocks and a creature made of wood with dents and wounds which terrified them. “Abuse to sticks…” Said Mudbriar “Abuse to rocks…” said Maud Pie as The Cyber Sleuth pulled out a spray bottle. “Can you both help them up?” He asked, “I’ll heal them up with this medical spray.” Explained The Cyber Sleuth as they nodded as they helped them up as he sprayed them both as their wounds, damage and dents vanished as they both opened their eyes and gasped at The Cyber Sleuth & the humans holding them. “AAAHHH!!!” They both backed away. “Wait!” Said The Cyber Sleuth “We found you both hurt! Please… trust us…” He said they both looked scared but smiled. “(Girl’s voice) I’m Woodmon.” Said the tree branch creature. “(Boy’s voice) And I’m Gotsumon!” Said the rock creature. “Woodmon?” Spoke Rarity & Fluttershy. “Gotsumon?” Spoke Twilight & Sunset. “Why do they have ‘mon’ at the end of their names?” Asked Rainbow as Pinkie looked surprised. “Do you have a picture?” Asked Pinkie as Maud shook her head. “Any picture we tried to take was pixelated.” Explained Maud as she showed her phone which Twilight checked to see the pictures were pixelated. “What the?” She said which made little sense on why it was pixelated. “So… Woodmon and Gutsomon?” Repeated Applejack. “Gotsumon.” Maud corrected her. “Right… what are they?” She asked as Maud placed her finger on her lips. “I cannot tell you nor anyone else except for Maud Briar & The Cyber Sleuth.” She said which made Rainbow snapped. “WHAT?!” “I made a Pinkie Promise.” She explained which made Rainbow growl in anger. “How does he know about the Pinkie Promise?” Said Rainbow Dash as she screamed into her pillow. “Uh… continue?” Asked Rarity. “Gotsumon?” Said Maud. “Woodmon?” Said Mudbriar as they both examined them as their eyes widened. “I’ve never seen this type of rock in my life.” Said Maud as Gotsumon looked confused. “Nor have I seen this type of wood.” Said Mudbriar as The Cyber Sleuth cleared his throat. “I’m sorry to interrupt this amazing discovery but Gotsumon, Woodmon. Who attacked you?” He asked, they both looked sad. “It wasn’t his fault.” Said Woodmon. “It was some program that corrupted him.” Gotsumon explained as The Cyber Sleuth crossed her arms. “It must have been the same program that’s been stealing documents from non-students.” He said as he looked at the two Digimon. “Who got infected?” “Wizardmon!” They both said. “Wizardmon?” Said Maud & Mudbriar. “A Champion-Level Data-Type Digimon.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “Digimon?” They both said as Gotsumon and Woodmon turned to them. “That’s what we are!” Said Gotsumon. “It’s short for Digital Monsters.” Explained Woodmon. “Digital?” Said Maud which made both humans look surprised by raising their eyes a bit. “Are we in-” “CyberSpace.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “But a Champion-level couldn’t be powerful enough to bring humans to CyberSpace.” He said as both Gotsumon & Woodmon looked down. “That program which made him steal all those documents from humans, forced Digivolve him into Baalmon.” Woodmon explained. “Uh-oh… that’s not good.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “Who is Baalmon?” asked Maud. “And what is Digivolve?” Asked Mudbriar “It’s something where we can grow stronger.” Said Woodmon. “Our appearance changes but we’re still the same Digimon on the inside.” “Also, Baalmon is an Ultimate Digimon.” Said The Cyber Sleuth. “He’s a Digimon that excels in all knowledge. His kamiuchi will release a mighty, lightning-fast smite from the Dǎshénbiān and his Guiltish will turn his amulets into weapons to attack us.” He explained which Maud and Mudbriar looked at him. “The way you talk about a Digimon you never met, sounds like you personally know them.” Said Maud. “Uh…” “You are experienced with them, are you?” Asked Mudbriar as The Cyber Sleuth looked nervous. “I’ve… been to their home.” He said honestly. “But we’ll have to talk about it later.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “Baalmon is suffering and if we don’t do something to stop him, he’ll go out of control and steal the knowledge of the planet.” He said as he Digivice app glowed and 4 creatures they’ve never seen before appeared; an egg with legs, an anthro feline in Arabic clothing, a polar bear with dual bazooka backpack and a large blue creature in armor. “Paildragmon, can you protect them while I find Baalmon?” He asked the blue and black armor creature who revealed guns on his hips. “I’ll blast the enemy with my-” DESPERADO BLASTER He yelled as he fired gunshots in the air as everyone ducked and covered. “(Female Voice) Watch it, you idiot! You’ll hit us with friendly fire!” Yelled the feline Digimon. “Uh… sorry Bastemon.” He apologizes as The Cyber Sleuth pointed forward. “Let’s go, Bastemon, Digitamamon and PolarBearmon!” “YEAH!” He yelled as Paildragmon looked at the humans and healed Digimon. “Uh… sorry for scaring you.” He said politely. “I was trying to be tough, and I take my duties in protecting others.” He said as Maud and Mudbriar talked with Gotsumon and Woodmon. “He summons creatures?!” Said Sunset. “I knew it!” Said Rainbow “He has Equestria Magic on him!” “Hold it, Rainbow!” Said Sci-Twi “If he did have Equestria Magic on him, our geodes would alert us and nothing on Equestria or Earth can hide magic from us!” She said which made sense. “Then how could he summon those creatures?” Rainbow questioned them. “Well…” Said Fluttershy “Twilight did say those flashing lights made an illusion.” She answered as they turned to Maud to hear more. “Your world is all digital?” Said Mudbriar. “Correct.” Said Woodmon “And years ago, a human child once went to our world to be honest, he was a nice kid who liked to challenge others.” She spoke. “Yeah and he learned so much about Digimon that he wishes one day, we visit his world.” Said Gotsumon “And years later, here we are.” He said happily which made Maud and Mudbriar look at each other. “Are there many kinds of rocks in the digital world?” asked Maud. “And kinds of sticks?” Asked Mudbriar which made Woodmon and Gotsumon look at each other and nodded. “Many kinds.” Said Gotsumon. “Also don’t forget the 10 Legendary Warriors!” Said Woodmon. “Who are they?” They asked as Paildragmon cleared his throat. “10 powerful Mega Digimon that 1st appeared during the Ancient Digital World. Warriors of Fire, Light, Thunder, Wind, Ice, Earth, Water, Wood, Steel, and Darkness.” He explained. “They once saved our world from… a corrupt Lucemon.” He said as Maud and Mudbriar looked at Paildramon “‘A’?” They spoke. “We’re not one of a kind. In fact, there are a multitude of us Digimon. Many Gotsumon and Woodmon, even myself in the Digital World.” He explained which surprised the 2 humans. “Many Gotsumon…” “Many Woodmon…” They all turned to the sound and saw The Cyber Sleuth running towards them. “I FOUND BAALMON AND HE’S REALLY MAD IN THE HEAD!!!” He yelled, they witnessed a humanoid being with many paper talismans as a cape firing at him as he ran. GUILTISH “Paildramon!” Yelled The Cyber Sleuth. “Got it buddy!” He yelled and looked at Baalmon. DESPERADO BLASTER He fired at Baalmon who used his Dǎshénbiān to block the energy bullets. “KNOWLEDGE!!! KNOWLEDGE!!! I WILL STILL YOUR KNOWLEDGE!!!” Screamed Baalmon WINTER GUNNERY Baalmon turned to see giant snowballs heading towards him, but he avoided them but didn’t see what was heading towards him. SWING EGG Baalmon turned to see a large egg ramming him as he was sent crashing down as Bastemon appeared while dancing. VAMPIRE DANCE Bastemon opened her mouth and absorbed energy from Baalmon as The Cyber Sleuth charged at Baalmon. “SNAP OUT OF IT!!!” He yelled as he landed a square punch to Baalmon’s face. “GAAAAHHHH!!!” Screamed Baalmon as he went flying to a wall as he crashed into a pixelated wall. “*Groan*” “Sorry buddy but I had to.” Said The Cyber Sleuth as Gotsumon & Woodmon went to grab onto Baalmon. “Now… let’s remove that program.” Said The Cyber Sleuth as he summoned a keyboard, typed some codes as Baalmon glowed a bright light as a black sphere came out of him and Baalmon shrank into a small humanoid with a staff and hat. “Is that…” “WIZARDMON!!!” Yelled Gotsumon & Woodmon as Maud & Mudbriar smiled. “There…” said The Cyber Sleuth as he looked at the program. “This is the program that’s been stealing all non-students’ documents.” “Who made that?” Asked Digitamamon “Apparently, some teacher made this.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “Her intentions of doing this because she was accepting bribes from parents who want their kids to enter while failing the other students who enter the hard working way.” He explained which made Mudbriar and Maud unhappy. “How completely corrupted.” Said Maud. “Disgraceful.” Said Mudbriar. “Don’t worry, I’ll alert the authorities of it and that teacher will be arrested for it.” Explained The Cyber Sleuth. *Groan* All turned to Wizardmon who was starting to wake up. “What happened?” “WIZARDMON!” Yelled both Gotsumon & Woodmon. “Gotsumon? Woodmon?” He said as he noticed the other humans “What are humans doing here?” He asked. “(Female Voice) Saving you from a corrupt program.” Said PolarBearmon as they helped him up. “I remember! I was in the library Cyber Space to learn some new information for my friends but then I accidentally discovered an unknown program, and it infected me.” Said Wizardmon “I had no control over myself and had to steal data from non-registered students for no reason.” He said as he turned to Maud & Mudbriar. I apologize for stealing your documents.” He said while bowing as they both smiled. “Your apology is appreciated.” Said Maud. “And technically, you are a victim. Not the culprit nor an accomplice.” Explained Mudbriar as Gotsumon and Woodmon cheered. “I’ll start making a portal back home.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “Say your goodbyes.” He said as he marched back where they said their farewells. “Before we go home, I like to introduce you to my pet rock Boulder, Gotsumon.” Said Maud. “As well as my pet stick Twiggy, Woodmon.” Said Mudbriar as they both pull their pets to see Twiggy’s branch break and Boulder has a crack. *GASP* “Twiggy! /Boulder!” screamed Maud & Mudbriar. Both owners fell to their knees, their pets got hurt and it's all their fault. Woodmon and Gotsumon looked sad for their friends but decided to do something about it. “Let us help!” They both said as they grabbed Maud’s and Mudbriar’s hands holding their bets. They both closed their eyes as code and data appeared on their hands as Twiggy’s broken branch was restored and the crack on Boulder vanished. *GASP* Both humans were baffled and smiled as they looked at the Digimon. “Thank you.” They both said Woodmon and Gotsumon looked at Boulder & Twiggy. “Really?” Said Woodmon “You have a great owner Twiggy.” She spoke. “As do you Boulder.” Said Gotsumon “I agree that Maud is a wonderful human.” He answered as they smiled. “Maud, Mudbrair.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “It's time to go home.” He said they both looked disappointed to hear that. “Don’t worry about it.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “I mean, you can email each other and talk about minerals and sticks from each of your worlds. I have no right to tell you to say you can’t be friends.” He said, they’ll smile at them as Wizardmon gets up. “Once I’m healed, I’m afraid we’ll have to find a new place to live.” He said as Gotsumon & Woodmon nodded. “This place is too dangerous to stay here.” “I recommend the Canterlot Public Library. Less likely another corrupt teacher will be there.” Said The Cyber Sleuth as they gave a nod. “Farewell friends.” Said Wizardmon as they all waved goodbye as they were beamed up. The Rainbooms were amazed and baffled by what Maud told them as Twilight looked up about that teacher who made that virus program. “I found the Article.” She said “Apparently, a teacher named Cupidity Gains made a virus program that only targets students that enter the Elemental College by bribery. Any student who tries to enter there through scholarships and work their way in, her program steals all their information and work which will fail them. The reputation of the Elemental College suffered from it and temporarily closed until they found all the bribed students and expelled them for their families’ crimes.” Explained Twilight, Pinkie turned to her sister. “Did that Gotsumon look cute?” She asked Maud who smiled. “I owe him my thanks and Boulder’s life.” She said as Pinkie turned to Boulder. “Really?!” She said “I wish I could see him!” She said happily, which confused her friends a bit. “After what The Cyber Sleuth did, he charged us each 10 dollars as his payment.” Explained Maud. “And went to send the evidence to the Canterlot Police. He also said that Maud Briar and I should spend time together debating whether to go to the Elemental College or not. We talked and after talking with each other, we fell in love with each other.” She said as some smiled for her while Rainbow gagged hearing that. *CRASH* They all looked at the window to check what made it, to see something was chop shopping from the Rainbooms’ Bus. “HEY!!!” screamed Rainbow. “That’s our bus that punk’s looting!” She yelled and ran out of the room as the others, but Maud ran out. “Hmmm…” She wondered if it was a Digimon, but she had no evidence that they could exist outside of CyberSpace. The Rainbooms came out to see a large orange mohawk out of the shadows. “HEY JERK!” Yelled Rainbow as the being in the shadow turned to them. “DROP THE PARTS AND GET LOST!!!” She yelled as they heard the motor of a motorcycle. “(Punk Voice) How about I slice and dice you all!” Said the thief which made them back away. “He’s armed, Rainbow!” Yelled Sunset. “We don’t have our geode!” warned Rarity. “SO?!” She yelled “I didn’t need it before, but I can manage this loser!” Rainbow insulted the thief. “LOSER?!” He yelled as the thief came out of the shadow to reveal that he wasn’t human. “How about I blow you up!” He laughed which made the Rainbooms look scared. “WHO OR WHAT IS THAT?!” Screamed Fluttershy. “I DON’T KNOW?!” Yelled Sunset “I NEVER SEEN OR READ ABOUT A CREATURE IN EQUESTRIA!” She yelled as the creature had a rusty sawmill blade running and was about to slash them. BIG BANG BLOW Something small but shining unleashed a powerful punch at the creature as he went to the road. CHERRY BLAST YARD SALE BOMB A bunch of cherries were dropped, various objects fell from the sky and landed on the thief as the cherries exploded “GAAAHHH!!!” Roared the thief as a large moving tree with a cane appeared and a giant cockroach flew down. *SCREAMS IN HORROR* except for Fluttershy. “A GIANT ROACH!!!” They screamed as all but Fluttershy ran back in. “(Deep Voice) Roachmon! Get that human to safety.” Yelled the Talking tree. “(Nervous kid’s voice) Uh… okay b-b-b-b-but given her friends ran away from m-m-m-m-me…” Roachmon stuttered as the white rock creature turned to him. “(Female Voice) I know but we can’t let Rebellimon keep stealing car parts.” She said as Roachmon nodded. “Okay… Meteormon, Cherrymon.” He said as he flew to Fluttershy who looked surprised. “Uh… it's d-d-d-d-dangerous to be here. P-p-p-p-please… go inside for your… s-s-s-s-safety.” He said as Fluttershy started but nodded. “Okay and… thank you.” She said as Roachmon blushed. “That was the 1st thank you I got from a human girl.” He said happily as Rebellimon tried to escape but Cherrymon stopped him. “Your thieving days are over!” He yelled as he grabbed Rebellimon and threw him in the air. “NOW!” He yelled as Meteormon looked up. FALLING STAR She yelled as a meteorite appeared to strike Rebellimon’s motorcycle lower-half and exploded. “GAAAHHHH!!!” The smoke cleared as Roachmon flew up and caught a pale green egg. “We better get out of here!” He said as they left but Meteormon summoned a small meteorite from hand and placed it on the doormat of Pinkie’s house. “See ya soon, Maud.” She said and ran away as the Rainbooms came out with brooms and bats but saw they were gone. “Where did they go?” Said Sunset as Maud came out. “What happened?” She asked but noticed something on the doormat “What’s this?” She picked up the rock and examined it. “A meteorite.” She said which shocked Twilight. “WHAT?!” She screamed in shock “Where did that come from?!” She yelled as Maud smiled. “From a friend.” She happily said. Location, Canterlot City Apartment Complex A young male teenager was pulling out a strange helmet machine from a shipping box. “Alright! I got myself the latest VR helmet!” He said as he connected it to his laptop “Look out internet, here comes Arctic Ace!” He said as he placed the helmet on his head. “Now… let’s begin the adventure!” He said as he turned on his laptop and then the helmet as the screen glowed a bright light. “WHAT THE?!” Screamed Arctic Ace as the light absorbed him. The VR helmet landed on the floor as his laptop shut down. Author's Note Well that was Maud & Mudbriar's experience with not only The Cyber Sleuth but also Digimon. They Pinkie Promise to keep what they learn and who they met, a secret from their friends and family, much to Rainbow's anger and even witness some Digimon but were unable to do anything about it but learn what they witness and are more like them out there and what happened to that poor teenager that vanish? Find out on the next, EQG Digimon: Cyber Sleuth (I wanted to say that when I was a kid). Chapter 5 1/2Everything Under the Sun Emporium Flim was making some posters for the shop of its 1-day sale, but he was sucked in by his computer “AAAHHH!!!” Flam opened the door to see an empty room. “Flim?” Music Center DJ-Pon-3 was making some new tracks on her tablet as it sucked her in. “AAAHHH!!!” Octavia Melody ran in “Roomie?” Canterlot Mall, Arcade Button Mash was playing a new game in the Arcade as his friends cheered for him winning. “All right! High Score!” He cheered as the screen unleashed a bright light as Button Mash’s friends covered their eyes. When the light dimmed, they saw that Button was gone. “Where did he go?” asked one of them. Camp Everfree Timber was on his laptop, using a VR helmet to try to design a new addition to the camp until it glowed. “Huh?” He said as the light from his laptop took him. “Timber, lower the lights!” Said his sister Gloriosa Daisy came in but saw his room was empty. “Bro?” Crystal Prep Academy Neon Lights was planning a light show for an event after school, but the lights went out of control as the phones glowed and sucked him in. “HELP!!!” His phone landed on the floor. Hack’s Warehouse Home Hack got up as groaned. “Another day, another waste of time.” He said as he went to his bathroom to see its lock. “HEY!!! I THOUGHT WE AGREE THAT MY SHOWER IS OFF-LIMITS!!!” He roared. “Oh, calm down!” Yelled a familiar voice. “LUCEMON!!! GET OUT OF THERE!!!” “Wait a moment! I’m taking my yearly shower and all the other Digimon threatened me to not use the Digital Bathhouse!” Reply to Lucemon. “That’s because your filth polluted the water that they had to scrub it clean for a month!” Yelled Hack. “Take a bath every day, you deadbeat!” He yelled. “I don’t tell you how to do your job, you don’t tell me to do mine!” “You only answer a phone call while you laze around!” Yelled Hack as the door unlocked and Lucemon came out wearing a bathrobe. “Right… all yours.” He said as Hack groaned. “I wonder if BanchoLillymon will let me know of some Digimon that gives discipline to jerks?” He said as he went into his bathroom. Outside Hack was eating his breakfast on the way to school until he met up with Wallflower. “Mal!” she yelled as Hack or Mal as he calls himself in public. “Yes?” He said as Wallflower noticed what he was eating. “Isn’t it too early to have lunch?” she asked. “It’s a breakfast burger.” He answered. “But it looks like a hamburger.” She replied. “The Burgermon couple make this for me when I have to go to school.” Malware answered. “Burgermon?” She said as she remembered that there are different kinds of Digimon “Oh! You mean the Digimon!” She yelled as Mal shushed her. “Shush! Don’t let anyone hear you.” He said as he finished his breakfast. “Yes. The Burgermon Couple made this as they own their automatic business.” He said “You heard of The Digital Burger?” He asked as Wallflower gasped. “You mean that automatic Burger shop that makes those delicious burgers for anyone? Vegetarians and Vegans even enjoyed their actual fruit and veggie burgers. Even those Tofu Burgers that taste good.” She said “It's run by Digimon?” “Some Digimon with my help got themselves jobs and started their own businesses.” He said as he tossed his wrapper in the trash. “The Burgermon couple did that business with Potamon who makes the fries as long as they don't let their competitive relationship interfere with their work.” He said as Wallflower sighed. “And you get all the free burgers and fries you can eat.” She spoke but Malware frown. “It’s not that great. Since I’m the only human, I have to taste test any new burger ideas and some of them weren’t that good.” Mal complained “That lobster burger was awful since they tried to deep-fried the meat.” He complained. “Ugh…” said Wallflower. “Anyway, how is Tanemon?” He asked, “BanchoLillymon did asked you to watch her.” He asked Wallflower pulled out her phone from her pocket. “She’s doing good.” She said and showed Tanemon sleeping peacefully in her Digivice app. “I’ve been taking good care of her and wonder about that Digivolve thing.” Asked Wallflower “What about it?” “How does it work?” She asked as Mal tried to put some thought into it. “It’s something even I can’t explain but I think it’s when they wish to grow stronger for a reason.” Said Mal. “I mean Tanemon will Digivolve when she has the reason to Digivolve.” He explained which Wallflower looked at her Tanemon. “I wonder what she’ll be?” She wondered. Canterlot High Mal was opening his locker to toss his stuff in as he was about to close it, he heard some voices from The Rainbooms. “What were those creatures?!” Yelled Rainbow Dash. “I don’t know Dash!” Said Applejack as she was baffled as well. “Sunset said that she had never seen creatures like that before nor if they exist in Equestria.” “If they weren’t from Equestria, then what were they?!” She yelled. “Fluttershy said she talked with that giant roach monster but how could she without geode!” Questioned Rainbow as Mal raised his brow. “Giant roach?” He said quietly, “Roachmon?” “And that giant moving tree with the cane and that white rock monster came to fight that green creature with the motorcycle for legs who was taking apart the bus. What were they?” Wonder Applejack. (“Cherrymon? Meteormon and Rebellimon?! I got to make a call to them.) Mal thought to himself, closed his locker and walked away but Rainbow stopped him. “How much did you hear!?” She said Applejack made her let go. “Stop it Dash! Getting mad and taking it out on others isn’t the way!” She said “Sorry about that.” Applejack apologized. “It’s cool but… I have to ask a question?” He said as Rainbow crossed her arms. “What is it?” “Aren’t you depending too much on your magic rocks?” He asked which confused Applejack but angered Rainbow Dash. “What do you mean by that?!” She yelled, which made Mal raise his hands. “I mean no offense but… is your magical strength your natural strength?” He asked which made Applejack. “What do you mean?” Applejack asked. “Uh… I mean the magic of those rocks powers you all up, all the time whenever you use them, right?” He asked. “Yeah…” said Rainbow. “So… when you don’t use them, don’t you feel sluggish and weaker?” He answered which confused them. “Huh?” “What I’m saying is… you let yourselves go when you used those rocks of yours!” He yelled, which shocked and angered them. “SAY WHAT?!” They both yelled at him. “I mean… Rainbow! You used to be the fastest runner!” He yelled, Rainbow was angry. “USED TO?! I’M STILL AM!” She yelled at Mal and raised his hands to defend himself. “Before or after you got your magic rock?” He asked “I mean you used it so much… Are you still the fastest?” Mal questioned her, who thought back and tossed him a stopwatch. “Time me!” She said as she pointed at a vending machine at the end of the hallway. “I’ll get there in less than 10 seconds.” She arrogantly said as Mal got in position to time her. “GO!” He yelled as he started as Rainbow ran and made it to the vending machine. “TIME!” Mal stopped and showed it to Applejack knowing she can’t lie. “Oh… I see what you mean.” She said as she checked her muscles. “I’ve been noticing it myself but didn’t want to believe it.” She said sadly as Rainbow can back panting. “So?” She asked as Mal showed it. “23.94 seconds.” He said which made her freaked out. “WHAT?!” She yelled. “I’m afraid he’s right, Dashy.” Said Applejack “We’ve been depending on our geodes too much, we’ve been letting ourselves lose shape.” She said sadly as Rainbow checked herself and flinched. “Oh… fine virus boy!” She yelled as she marched away “I’ve been letting myself get bloated. I’ll work out and I’ll prove that I’m still the fastest!” She yelled as Malware sighed. “Ugh… I was hoping that disappointment would let her stop using magic all the time.” He said as he turned to Applejack “Sorry but I want a day where we don’t have crazy magic happening. I still haven’t forgotten that amusement park owner removing people.” He said as Applejack looked at him, understanding that magic from Equestria causes trouble for them. “Yeah… sorry about that.” “Also, have any of you found out why that’s happening? I mean why are we suffering the bad from that so-called world of harmony crap? I think the better that world is spreading, the worse of it gets sent here.” He said as he walked away. “That can’t be true… can it?” Question Applejack. Lunch Lone brought his own lunch as he had burgers and fries. “Thank you Fast-Food Digimon.” He said to himself that the cafeteria planned a vegetarian week, and no meat was served which angered some students. Wallflower came with her salad lunch and sat on the same table. “Hey Mal.” She said as Mal looked up. “Hello…” He said as Wallflower cleared her throat. “I know that you’re not a friend-person, but this is mostly for Digimon.” She said as Mal sighed and let her sit down. “What do you want to know?” He asked, Wallflower drank some water. “I need something to feed Tanemon.” She spoke. “Let me guess, she’s ravenous?” He asked as she nodded. “I want to keep her happy but…” “Your food budget is getting damaged by it.” He answered as he sighed. “I should have given you a Digi-Farm before school ended.” He said, Wallflower looked at him. “Digi-Farm?” Spoke Wallflower. “It’s literally a farm where your extra Digimon go to relax, grow food and grow in strength without fighting.” He explained as Wallflower looked nervous. “I don’t think I can manage more than one Digimon.” She said as she looked at Mal “How many…” “Over 100.” He answered quickly which made Wallflower lose her lunch (Not the barfing way, dropping her lunch way). “How…” “I had literal years of experience. I started out as a kid but given how our technology and the internet progresses, it would make my years of experience worthless but…” “But?” Asked Wallflower. “Will people see them as living creatures instead of just data?” He asked which Wallflower wondered if they were more than data. “Also, I got some bad news this morning.” He spoke. “What bad news?” she asked. “I think The Rainbooms have seen some Digimon.” He said which made Wallflower surprised. “Apparently 4 Digimon, Cherrymon, Meteormon & Roachmon fought against Rebellimon from taking apart their bus.” He said as Wallflower tried to imagine them but the Smart TVs in the lunchroom alerted them. “We interrupt this program to bring you these important messages.” Said a woman “This is Chronological bringing you the report of people disappearing!” She said which made every student look up to listen. “Not again!” Said one of them. “It’s Equestria Land all over again!” Screamed Mirco Chips. “The list of people that have been disappearing are one of the owners of the Everything Under the Sun Emporium Flim, An employee by the name DJ-Pon3, a child, Button Mash, Timber, brother of Gloriosa Daisy and Neon Lights, student of Crystal Prep Academy.” The students of Canterlot looked worried as they noticed that some of their fellow schoolmates were missing. “A similar event of people disappearing involves Vignette Valencia. We are now approaching her for a comment.” The news crew went to Vignette Valencia who was on her phone and noticed the news. “What’s going on?!” yelled Vignette Valencia. “Are you connected with the disappearance of these people?” asked Chronological. “What?! NO!” She yelled at Chronological as her phone was unleashing a bright light. “What the?” She yelled even though the cameraman was blinded. “Vignette?” Said Chronological as the light dimmed to show her smartphone landed on the ground. “What just happened?” Said the camera man. The students gasped as Mal looked annoyed. “Ugh… I don’t know what to make of this.” “I’m afraid it’s not a magic incident.” Said a voice as Mal pulled out his phone to show Wallflower a Digimon. “Who is that?” “Datamon.” Said Mal “What do you mean?” He asked. “I’ve been examining all recordings from security cameras, computers and smartphones of all the disappearing and it appears that a Digimon is taking them.” She explained. “A Digimon!?” Said Wallflower, who covered her mouth as the students who were too scared about the disappearing people. Mal removed his hand on her mouth. “Now Datamon. Is a Digimon kidnapping people?” He asked as she nodded. “I’m afraid so. The reason for it is unknown.” She spoke. “I’ll try to investigate it, in the meanwhile, go offline and avoid using Wi-Fi.” “Going off the grid.” Said Mal as he sighed. “Better than being taken.” He said as he shut off his phone’s Wi-Fi and service temporarily. “I’ll suggest you turn off yours or it will happen to you.” Explain Mal and he looked at the other students. “I hope the other students and faculty turn off theirs.” He pulled out his phone to see Datamon “Turn off the School’s Wi-Fi.” He told her as she gave the thumbs up. “Already did.” *GROANING* “The Wi-Fi is off!” complained a student. “Keep it off!” Yelled Wallflower which got their attention. “Didn’t anyone see what happened to Vignette? She disappeared but her phone didn’t.” He said which confused them. “Could it be possible that anything connected to the internet is the cause?” He asked as some laughed as Pinkie appeared holding her phone. “I’ll check if it's magic-related.” She said as Mal looked worried as she looked at her phone while holding her geode. Mal backed away as some waited but nothing happened. *Sigh* Said everyone as Mr. Cranky came in. “What’s going on!?” He yelled as he saw Pinkie with her phone and confiscated it from her. “NO PHONE IN THE-” Pinkie’s phone shone a bright light as Mr. Cranky shut his eyes “My eyes!” The bright light shines on the entire room as they hear a phone landed on the floor. They all opened his eyes to see that Mr. Cranky was gone. “Oh boy…” Said Mal “Did anyone see that?” He asked as one who was wearing sunglasses looked terrified. “H-h-h-h-h-he…” Stuttered one student as another snugged her “HE WAS SUCKED IN THE PHONE!!!” She screamed and ran out of the cafeteria. They all looked scared as they pulled out their phones and looked scared. “SHUT THEM OFF!!! RIGHT NOW!!!” Screamed Pinkie as they all did it. “EVERY TABLET! LAPTOP AND COMPUTER! SHUT THEM OFF RIGHT NOW!!!” Mal screamed at them as they did quickly as some ran away screaming. Pinkie dropped to her knees as her hair deflated. “Mr… Cranky…” She said and started to cry as Mal placed his hand on her shoulder and handed her a plushie of Kuramon. “Don’t give up hope.” He said, Wallflower gave Pinkie a hug to comfort her while Pinkie hugged the plushie. Principal’s Office Celestia and Luna were in a meeting with Sunset and the others except for Pinkie which Wallflower was calming her down. “What is going on?!” Asked Celestia as Sunset, he couldn’t figure out why. “I don’t know.” She answered. “I mean creatures we've seen, I don’t think are from Equestria. I even message Princess Twilight to look up any of those creatures I’ve seen! A giant roach, a white golem, I think a Trent and some mutant that has a motorcycle for its lower half!” She said as her friends calmed her down. “This doesn’t make a lick of sense?” Said Applejack. “Uh…” Fluttershy gathered the attention of everyone “Could it be possible that those creatures we saw aren’t from Equestria and this isn’t Equestria magic but something else?” She said which scared them to hear that. “Not from Equestria…” said Sunset as she never thought it was a possibility. “Could the mirror portal have connections to other worlds than this one… and we’re bringing them in?” She muttered quietly. *Knocking* All turned to the door as Luna opened it to reveal Malware. “Mr. Malware?” Said Luna as he looked serious. “I’ve been asked by someone called The Cyber Sleuth to hand you this letter.” He said as he pulled out a letter and handed it to Luna. “He said that you hired him before if I remember correctly that you said he fixed the school’s wi-fi?” He asked which made them concerned on why he didn’t deliver the letter himself as Malware walked away. “WHAT?!” Yelled Rainbow “Him again?” She complained as her friends turned to her angrily. “He sends a letter.” Said Twilight “At least let us read it before you judge.” Rainbow crossed her arms. “Let’s.” Said Principal Celestia as she turned to her sister who opened it. “To my previous clients, I know that it seems odd that I’m sending you this letter but unfortunately, this involves my line of work.” “Line of work?” Said everyone. “The culprit of the disappearance of people is using advanced technology to capture anyone through a device that connects to the internet, turning matter into digital data.” “WHAT?!” Yelled Twilight, who was baffled. “That’s theoretically impossible!” She yelled and nearly dropped her glasses as Spike came out of her backpack. “But Twilight. Didn’t those movies make that believable and possible? That one with the mystery-solving dog and the other with that master program?” He asked. “That’s just it, those were movies. Science theorized it to be not possible to fully digitize matter!” She spoke. “Until now.” Said Rainbow. “Or it’s a magic incident that we have to fix!” She said proudly as Principal Celestia and VP Luna narrowed their eyes at her. “In a responsible manner that doesn’t involve sabotaging another for doing their job because of our ego.” Rainbow replies in a well-manner tone hoping to get her geode back. “Very well.” Said Principal Celestia who went to retrieve them as VP Luna went to Rainbow Dash. “Remember Miss Dash, misuse your magic and we’ll not trust you with them again.” She said in a threatening tone which made Rainbow sweat in fear. “Yes, Ma’am.” She said while sweating as Celestia handed the Rainbooms their geodes back for them to solve this mystery, but they need Pinkie Pie. Canterlot City, Junk Yard Malware got off the bus as Wallflower followed him. “I can’t believe you agree to join me.” He complained. “I wanted to see where you live since you agreed to give me my own Digi-Farm.” She said as she looked surprised to see where he lived. “This is your home?” she asked. “Yeah… filthy, isn’t it?” He said as he unlocked his entrance to it as he let her in to see it was a literal dump. “How can you live in such filth?” She asked as Malware pointed to the warehouse on a hill, over the junkyard. “That’s my home.” Answer Malware “This place is my business where I find some things I can fix and repair.” He said “I also have some helpers to sort things out.” He spoke. “Helpers?” “Hey guys! She knows Digimon! BanchoLillymon trusts her with one!” He yelled as some piles moved to show Junkmon coming out as some green trash cans to reveal pink creatures with a banana peel hat in it. “Wallflower, meet the Junkmon gang and Garbagemon crew.” He spoke. “Hi!” They said as Wallflower looked surprised and waved. “Hi…” She spoke. “First time seeing a group of Digimon.” Answered Mal. “Oh…” They said as he turned to them. “Anything repairable?” He asked. “We found an old vending machine!” Said one of the Junkmon. “Cool, now I need some candy to fill it up without Lucemon eating them all.” He said as they walked up to his home. “Your parents must be happy with their work.” She said which made Mal stop. “They’re not here anymore.” He replied, which made Wallflower’s eyes widen. “I’m sorry.” She spoke. “They’re not dead.” He said “They’ve abandoned me and I was raised by my relatives and my grandparents.” He said as he opened the door to reveal inside many different Digimon cooking, cleaning and doing some work. “Whoa…” said Wallflower as Calumon landed on head. “HI!” Said Calumon, Wallflower blushed. “OH! You’re that little one with Arukenimon!” She spoke. “That’s Calumon.” Said Mal. “He’s a special kind of Digimon that knows more about Digivolution than any other Digimon.” Wallflower looked up. “Really?” She asked as Calumon flew off her head and looked at her phone. “Tanemon will Digivolve right now!” he said as Wallflower’s phone shone as Tanemon came out glowing. “Tanemon Digivolve to… Floramon!” Floramon landed and posed as she turned to Wallflower smiling. “(Female Voice) Hi Wallflower!” She said Wallflower gasped. “You can talk in complete words?!” She said Floramon twirl. “Since I can Digivolve to Rookie-Level. I can talk even when I’m a Tanemon again.” She said as she hugged Wallflower “And I promise to protect you and your friends.” She said as Lucemon appeared with a liter bottle of water. “Here you go.” He said as Floramon grabbed it and poured it on her feet. “Hey!” Yelled Mal as the spilled water was being absorbed by her legs. “Ahhhh… delicious and cold.” She said happily. “This is how I drink water, and I can eat food like any other creature.” she cheered as Datamon appeared. “Mal! Wallflower!” She yelled “I have located the source of the humans that are being abducted by the Digimon who is taking them.” Mal looked serious as he went to his room and Lucemon flew to Datamon. “Tell me while Hack gets prepared.” He spoke. “Prepared?” Said Wallflower. “He must be in uniform to save your humans.” Answered Lucemon. “Is he a vigilante?” Asked Wallflower. “No.” Said Lucemon as Mal came out in his work clothes “The Cyber Sleuth.” He said which Wallflower’s jaw dropped in shock. “Holy sh-” Twilight’s Lab Twilight was typing on her laptop to find an explanation of people turning into data as Pinkie was hugging a plushie. “So, anything?” Asked Sunset as Twilight wiped the sweat on her forehead. “Nothing?” She said as they groaned. “Oh… I would like to know what’s going on!!!” Yelled Sunset as Spike noticed an ad of a new game appearing. “Feeling the need for adventure? Come to battle The Armor Rabbit King to win against him or be his prisoner forever to make his Moon Rice Cakes! Come and play ‘War against The Rabbit Kingdom!’” “Is that a game ad?” Said Twilight “I made firewalls to prevent annoying ads from appearing on my screen!” She said and she closed it, but a bright light came from her computer as they all screamed, even Spike. The light dimmed as their geodes were on the floor as the Kuramon plush was left behind and blinked its eye. “(Synchronize Voice) Oh no.” He said and floated in the air. Hack’s Warehouse “YOU’RE THE CYBER SLEUTH?!” Screamed Wallflower. “(Disguised Voice) Of course. It’s my afterschool job and I have to make some money to pay the bills.” He said as he tied his boots up and made sure his gloves were on, and no hair was out of his helmet. “Also, disguised to prevent my deadbeat parents, along with criminal accomplices from finding me and having me dead, kidnapped or ask me for money.” He said as he placed his gloves on. “Whoa… So… you fixed the problem at school yesterday?” She said “Then… was the problem caused by a-” “Digimon? Correct. A Digimon who had a grudge against his teacher for expelling him.” Explained Hack which made Wallflower mad. “Really?! Why?!” She yelled. “That Digimon was obsessed with trying to Digivolve his way, he slain his fellow Digimon schoolmates.” Answered Hack. “Sensei Bokomon was the one who expelled him, Keramon Digivolved to Chrysalimon and tried to destroy Sensei Bokomon but I had to stop him, and negotiations were not a choice for him. My team destroyed him, and he reverted back to a Digitama.” He said which made Wallflower sad. “I still feel like it’s wrong to do that.” Said Wallflower. “It does for me but it’s a last resort I have to do.” Answered Hack as he walked to Datamon. “Can you show me the link to the abductions?” He asked as Datamon smiled. “Of course!” She said as she showed the game ad that caused the abductions. “This is the cause of the abductions?” Asked Wallflower. “Apparently so.” Said Hack. “And this game ad is the reason. Anyone who closes it gets abducted into the unknown Digimon’s Cyberspace territory.” He said as he opened his palm in the air. “Let’s go, Wallflower. I need some help in calming the abducted people and preventing them from losing their crap.” He said as a portal appeared as both of them were sucked in. “WHOA!!!” Wallflower screamed as they were sucked in as Lucemon looked at the screen. “Stay safe, dude.” He said “I don’t want anything bad to happen to you but…” Lucemon closed his eyes and shed a tear “I want to help but I’m too powerful and do more harm than good against anything that isn’t a Mega Digimon or a program gone wrong.” He said as the other Digimon from Fresh to In-Training comforted him. Digital Rabbit Kingdom Hack landed with ease as Wallflower landed face first. “Yeah… it takes a few times to land on your feet.” He said as he helped Wallflower up as Floramon came out of her Digivice. “Are you okay?” she asked. “Yeah…” She said as she looked at the area to see a large castle with rabbit decorations. “Whoa… where are we?” she asked. “The Cyberspace of the game where the Digimon used to take humans.” He said as a screen appeared before him. Welcome to ‘War against The Rabbit Kingdom’! You must defeat The Armor Rabbit King in order to free all the prisoners he captured. You must find some allies of his race to win. Any above Champion Level is banned. “Above Champion Level?” Said Wallflower as Hack crossed his arms. “So… Any Digimon that’s above Champion Level is banned.” He explained. “This Armor Rabbit King must be a Rabbit-like Digimon. At least Ultimate level but there are a few I know.” Said Hack as he pulled out his phone to press an app to Summon Sensei Bokomon. “Hello young Hack. How may I help you?” He asked which Wallflower turned to him. “Hack?” Hack made a ‘shush’ expression. “Sensei, can you give me a list of strong Rabbit-like Digimon?” He asked as Bokomon pulled out a screen of them. “Even the ones that are mistaken for rabbits?” He asked as Hack nodded. “Especially them because I have a gut feeling that it’s one of these Digimon.” Said Hack as Sensei Bokomon pulled out a screen and showed a few pictures of Rabbit-type Digimon and those are mistaken as. “What are they?” Asked Wallflower. “Rapidmon, Antylamon (Good) & (Evil), Lamortmon, Crescemon, Rabbitmon, BlackRapidmon, and (Golden Armor) Rapidmon.” Explained Hack. “My best guess is either Rabbitmon, Rapidmon or BlackRapidmon since the boss of this Cyberspace is called ‘The Armor Rabbit King’.” He said Floramon looked worried. “What will we do?” She as Hack pulled out his phone. “First, we need allies, and I know which will help us.” He said as he Digivice app released who he chose which ones who will aid him in battle. “Meet Sagittarimon, Bucchiemon, Rinkmon & Butterflymon.” Hack introduced them to Wallflower who looked surprised. “H-Hi…” She said as Sagittarimon bowed to her. “It is an honor to meet an actual human comrade of Hack.” He said proudly as Rinkmon skated around Wallflower. “Normally when we meet humans with Digimon, they’re hackers that want money, power or fame.” He said arrogantly. “What is your profession?” Floramon got in front of him. “She’s an amazing gardener!” She said “And I’m her partner! BanchoLillymon made her my tamer!” Which surprised them. “BANCHOLILLYMON?!” They said as Hack cleared his throat. “It means that she has potential. Treat her with trust and respect.” He said as he turned to the castle. “We better inspect the area. Do not go in the air. We won’t know if they have any anti-air defenses.” He said as they nodded. “HELP!!!” They turned to see a male teenager running towards them while holding two Rookie Digimon in his arms. Ninja Knife Throwing Double Stars “Somebody saves us!” He screamed while being chased by 2 groups of Digimon. “Ninjamon and Shurimon!” Yelled Hack as he looked mad and turned to his friends. “Save that teen!” He yelled as his Digimon nodded as Floramon looked mad and turned to Wallflower. “We have to fight!” She said but Wallflower looked scared. “But-” “GO! GO! GO!” Yelled Hack as his team charged. Talon Arrow Bucchiemon fired arrows from her hands and collided with the Ninjamon throwing stars. Butterflymon flew up. Honey Wave She emits a sound wave with her wings that made the attacking Digimon lose their focus as Floramon came up Poison Ivy She yelled and threw long ivy from her claws that caught some Ninjamon and smashed them into the Shurimon. Rinkmon and Sagittarimon charged at the enemy. Spinning Cutter Meteor Gallop Rinkmon spun so fast and Sagittarimon came charging as the attackers were destroyed as they were turned into Digitamas. “Now that’s over.” Said Hack as Wallflower checked on the teen who ran for his life. “Are you okay?” He asked as the two Digimon in his arms got free to protect him. “(Young girl’s voice) Stop right there!” “(Young girl’s voice) We won’t let you hurt our friend!” “Who are they?” Said Wallflower as Sensei Bokomon walked up. “They are Lunamon and Coronamon.” He said “Both Rookie-Level Digimon.” The teen looked up to see a familiar face. “Wallflower?” He said she gasped. “Arctic Ace?” She said as Hack walked up. “Someone from the school?” He asked as Wallflower nodded. “Who the hell is this guy?” He asked as he remembered something. “Wait… are you the Cyber Sleuth that fixed the school’s Wi-Fi problem yesterday?” He asked which Wallflower’s eyes widened. “Yesterday?” She said which made Hack turn to her. “Wait… isn’t this guy one of the people who disappeared?” He asked as Wallflower nodded. “Disappeared?” Said Arctic Ace as Wallflower turned to him. “Ace… you disappeared for 5 days.” She said which shocked Ace. “What…?” Unknown The Rainbooms were in a wooden cell with other people who were forced to make rice cakes and to Pinkie’s disappointment, she couldn't have one. “SOMEONE HELP US?!” “WHAT DID THEY DO TO SPIKE?!” Screamed Twilight. The Armor Rabbit King’s Throne Room Spike was being forced to entertain along with a blue and yellow creature to the king. “Twilight… where are you?” Author's Note Oh boy... now who said that time flies by when you're playing video games. How Ace will react to being trapped for 5 days? Will Hack & Wallflower saved the Rainbooms & why did their geodes didn't go with them? Find out on the next, EQG Digimon: Cyber Sleuth. I'm thinking of doing that every end of the chapter? What do you think? Leave a comment and have a nice day.

So they used their old warehouse they’ve owned and threaten his parents that they’ll have them arrested if they tried to sell it in anyway.

He viewed the magic of friendship being the source of the insanity happening to the city and avoid it as the Black Plague. He set up his own Detective Agency with a little help of some friends of his but you’ll know when the story progress. Author's Note Tell me what you think of my OC.
Chapter 1Canterlot City, a place where crazy things happen to anyone or anything. The reason for this craziness is that of another universe connection through a statue in front of a high school. The portal to the two universes usually opens for three days and three nights every 30 days, but thanks to a certain powerful entity, it stays open all the time, not knowing the damage it brings to that universe. But not everything as it seems. The universe is one big place, but even if it's not connected through magic or fate, there is another universe or another world much closer than you think. In one of the high society locations of Canterlot City, a mansion is owned by one of the richest families with many businesses, the Riches. The father, Filthy Rich, the mother, Spoiled Rich and their daughter, Diamond Tiara. The father of the family was dealing with a situation that could affect them all and their employees and contacts. A cyber hack which stole all of their assets, their wealth, and finances from them. Filthy Rich was baffled and no matter what kind of security programming he installed and his work network, the hacker bypassed it all. He had fallen into a state of despair and sorrow. He felt like everything he worked for in a clean and honest way was gonna get stolen from him, his family, and all the employees who collaborated with him. The police couldn't aid him, nor could they assist him with his problem, nor could they spare the resources to give him some help. However, one officer aided him by letting him know about a certain sleuth that can solve this problem, a Cyber Sleuth. A person who does any kind of detective work using the Internet informed Filthy rich that this person can solve his problem with ease and efficient work. Filthy Rich looked suspicious given that this was information from an officer of the law, he placed all of his fate on this cyber sleuth. Filthy Rich was in his studies, pacing back & forth in front of the fireplace waiting for a callback from the Cyber Sleuth, it was 4 hours ago as he waited for them as he just worried after sending him the URL Address but the Cyber Sleuth only ask for payment after the job is complete. “*GASP*” said Filthy Rich as his personal phone called him. He looked at the Caller ID to see the words ‘Cyber Sleuth’. “It’s him!” He answered the phone. “Hello?” “(Disguised Voice) Hello, Mr. Rich.” “Cyber Sleuth?” Said Filthy Rich. “I am calling to let you know that the hacker who stole all your finances has finally been caught and I’ve returned all your money into your accounts.” said the Sleuth, which concerned him. “Check your accounts’ balances.” Filthy Rich ran to his personal laptop to check all his accounts to see that all the money in them was all returned, with no minor or major deductions. “You did it!” Yelled Filth Rich which shocked him “I apologize to you, but I believe you might pocket some money from me. “Mr. Rich, I understand your distrust in someone like me when we met in person but understand that I wish to keep my privacy in my real life and my work life.” Said the Cyber Sleuth. “I understand.” He said “But… is this the last time I can call your assistance?” “It depends on… if what happens to you involves a cyber connection or something illegal happens.” “Thank you.” Said Filthy Rich, “And your payment?” “$2000.” Said the Cyber Sleuth which surprised Mr. Rich. “That much?!” Yelled Mr. Rich “I mean what you did was extreme and involved all innocent people collaborating with me! I thought you prefer a mil or 10 mil?” “No, Mr. Rich. I’m a human with common sense. Also I don’t want people to mooch money from me. I’ll send you the link for you to transfer the money. Have a good night, spend time with your family and watch tomorrow’s news to see the criminal who robbed you.” He said as the call ended which left Filthy Rich baffled on one question. “Who is this Cyber Sleuth?” He asked Location: Warehouse Near a Large Junkyard The Cyber Sleuth was on top of a broken washing machine as he ended his call and looked at a laptop which was one. “(Male Teen Voice) Now that the case is complete.” He opened a window to see 3 avatars. “Hope you three are feeling better now that that hacker is no longer controlling you.” He said three strange avatars that look like foreign coins. “We are and thank you for saving us.” Said the gentleman coin holding a briefcase. “If it wasn’t for you, I would have stolen money for another without getting a piece of it.” The Cyber Sleuth looked at him “Okay… fine… I’ll do clean and honest work.” He said unhappily. “Where can we find some work for us?” He said as The Cyber Sleuth put some thought into it. “Well… you love money… Accounting is a way to manage money.” He said, which made the 3 look at each other. “Perhaps send an application to Filthy Rich to hire you three as his online accountants.” He said as all three of them jumped for joy. “We'll do that tomorrow!” “Sweet… good luck, Ganemon, Zenimon & Kozenimon.” He said as he closed the window and went to the warehouse and entered it. “(Kid’s Voice) So how was the case?” Asked a voice as the teen turned to see a kid in an angel’s outfit laxing on the couch. “It went well. Case solved.” He said as he closed it on his phone and pulled out a bag of gummy candy and tossed it to the kid. “Just promise me, you do some work Lucemon.” He said as the kid smirked. “I’ll do it… since you’re my partner.” He said as he got up from the couch and flew next to him. “Also, the Burgamon family made some new burgers for you to try before they sell them in their Burger Shop and some you already like if it’s not tasty for you, Hack.” He said as the Cyber Sleuth named Hack removed his goggles, helmet and face mask revealing a 17 year-old teen. “As long as they stop fighting with Potamon.” Said Hack as they pass through other creatures like a red oni with a giant bone, a white bipedal lion wearing pants and a large female spider creature. “I swear there are more Digimon appearing in this city than in here.” He said as Lucemon shrugged his shoulders as a small Digimon landed on Hack’s head. “Happy to see you back!” Said the little Digimon. “Happy to be home, Calumon.” Said Hack as a little purple devil head bounced near him. “Yaamon… who did you bite?” Questioned Hack. “Mostly anyone who tries to brush my teeth.” Said Yaamon. Author's Note Before any of you say, 'you gave your OC an OP Digimon!' but this Lucemon is lazy and only fights if it absolute necessary; like a nuke is coming to Canterlot City, Apocalymon snapping or the Royal Knights are attacking the city. So expect him telling his partner what cases are there for him, complaining that there is no candy at base or fighting for the remote. Leave a comment and have a nice day. Also the 3 Digimon that Hack passed were Fugamon. IceLeomon or Panjyamon and Arukenimon. Also Hack has more Digimon allies that he chooses for his cases depending on the difficulty of each case.
Chapter 2Canterlot High, literally the source or magic came from, and someone who isn't wise enough to bother to discover why it's leaking into our world decides to weaponize it or travel to the other world to harvest all its resources. My best guess is that humans are frighten or the fact that the portal to Equestria is wide enough for one soldier at a time but I doubt a soldier is dumb enough to be cannon fodder or a suicide bomber against a giant unicorn with wings that fires a laser made of rainbows and friendship. But that’s for later until it becomes a cult or something. Malware made it to the school as he looked at his phone. “Any cases?” He asked. “Ugh… no…” Said Lucemon, who was in his Digivice App, who was reading digital comics. “I mean, I will admit that we almost had a case, but Metalkoromon shorted out the Wi-Fi.” He said, “I mean, the little guy has to control his hunger. I’ll let you know. See ya after school.” He said as closed the app. “I better find some car batteries at the junkyard.” Mal said to himself as he went to class. Culinary Class Malware was copying the recipe on the whiteboard while the students in the class were cooking some sweets while Pinkie was going crazy with the whipped cream. As they were busy with their cooking, the electric tools started flashing as an electric mixer spin settings changed to slow to faster, splashing anyone near it as the electric ovens blew out the treats inside them as all students ran out screaming as Mal looked at them “Huh?” Gym All the fitness machines were going too fast and acted like a mechanical bull which sent Rainbow Dash flying into the Mal. Their faces were close, but not close enough for an accidental kiss. “If this involves magic, I blame you and your friends.” He said, which Dash frowned. “Why is it you always blame us?” “Says the girl with the magic rock?” “Touche.” Said Rainbow. Library The computers in the library went out of control, even when there wasn't a student using them as they played different music genre videos. Miss Cheerilee came to the computers. “NO MUSIC-” She saw no one was using them. “Huh?” Lunchroom The Rainbooms were sitting together. “What’s going on?” Said Applejack. “I don’t know?” Said Twilight. “For some odd reason, there isn’t any Equestria Magic in the school!” “This makes little sense.” Said Sunset. “I can’t sense any magic and the weird thing is, it’s only affecting all electronics.” She said some students surrounded them. “What’s going on here?!” Said Trixie. “My laptop’s data got deleted for no reason!” Said Micro Bites. “Also, our smartphones are answering spam calls!” Said Flash Sentry, which made them uncomfortable since it’s not involving magic. Malware was eating some instant ramen as he was listening in on the whiny students. “Hmm…” Thought Malware as he finished his lunch and walked out of the lunchroom as he met Principal and Vice-Principal Celestia & Luna. “Uh… Principal and Vice-Principal Celestia & Luna! I’m sorry for leaving but I’m a bit worried about the sudden destruction of the electronics in the school. I’m also worried about being in the crossfire of their chaos.” He said as Luna cleared her throat. “I understand that you’re afraid of the sudden destruction.” Said Luna “But I believe that a certain group of students can fix this.” She said, which made Malware look worried. “Uh… I’m afraid the Rainbooms cannot fix this.” He said, which made both adults look at him “I had the misfortune of being near them and eavesdropped on them saying that this chaos isn’t caused by magic.” He explained which made Celestia look worried. “Oh dear…” She said “If there isn’t any magic involved… Perhaps someone is hacking into our system to create this chaos.” Said Celestia as they heard some screaming in the lunchroom. “I lost my phone data!” Screamed a student which made Malware look worried. “I better go outside where there isn’t any machine nearby.” He said as Celestia and Luna went to their office. “Attention all students. Due to all machines inside the school going out of control, all classes are canceled for today until the situation is solved.” Announcing Celestia, the students cheered “Also, until this problem is solve; no student will be allowed to bring, carry or use any electronic devices. So, the next day, all students will only use books and the internet is banned.” Announce Luna, all students who heard that screamed in horror. Malware covered his ears and groaned. “At least we’re not being given triple the amount of homework.” He said as he walked out of the school. Hack’s Digivice App Lucemon was snacking on a Swiss roll cake while watching online videos. “Man… these old videos that Hack like are good. Better than those annoying short dance videos.” He said slice himself a slice of cake as a phone app appeared before him. “Oh goodie, a client.” He cleared his throat a bit before he answered the phone “(Adult Voice) Cyber Sleuth Investigations, this is his receptionist speaking.” He said, “(Celestia’s Voice) Hello, my name is Principal Celestia of Canterlot High.” Said the caller. “Ah… the building with the strange magic and weirdness.” Said Lucemon. “I beg your pardon but that was made by my students within the AV club who were responsible for those videos.” She spoke. “(“Bull crap.”) Said Lucemon in his head “How may we help you?” Asked Lucemon as he wrote it in a digital notepad. “My school has been experiencing a cyber-attack from a hacker.” She said as Lucemon wrote what she said. “Do you have any suspicions on who would do this?” Asked Lucemon. “No, but whoever did this is causing chaos and destruction throughout the school.” She said, just then Lucemon heard a different voice. “Sister! The coffee maker in the teacher’s lounge is spraying lukewarm coffee!” Screamed Celestia’s sister. “Oh my… I’ll let my boss know so he can fix this problem. I’ll send him the details and he’ll solve your case.” Spoke Lucemon. “Thank you and a reward will be promised to him.” “Good day, madam.” Said Lucemon as he hangs up “(Regular Voice) Better notify my partner of a new case.” He said as he sent it to Hack. Hack’s Warehouse Hack managed to discover an old laptop in the electronic section of the junkyard. “Sweet.” He said as he turned to see a beaver creature with a cannon made from junk on its back. “Here. Take it to the warehouse to see if we can repair it, Junkmon.” Junkmon grabbed it and gave Hack the thumbs up. “Got it, buddy. I’ll let the other Junkmon know if we find any more old laptops or computers.” He said as Junkmon rolled to the warehouse to meet with the others to look for more stuff as his phone vibrated and he heard his notification sound. “What the?” He pulled out his phone to see it was a text with ‘You got a case!’ “Alright.” He went to the Digivice App to see Lucemon. “Hey buddy. Who sends the case?” He asked. “Your principal, dude. She’s hiring you to stop that havoc happening in your school.” Answer Lucemon. “Are you going to take it?” He asked as Hack nodded. “I have to because I doubt those magic girls will solve it.” He said as Lucemon smirked. “Just remember, dude. The ketchup & mustard hair girl can read your mind by touching you. Don’t let her and tell your principal that he’ll find is as sexual harassment that a girl who can peek into strangers’ mind is considered creepy.” He said as Hack sighed. “Yeah, I always find her as a creep with that magic.” He answered as he went to a large tool shed that’s blending in with the junk to put on his work clothes. “(Muffled Voice) I better bring some allies.” He said as he made his way to school on a custom-made automatic motorcycle car “Hey Machmon.” Said Hack to a screen as it showed a motorcycle-shaped Digimon. “(Punk Voice) Hey Hack. What brings you?” “I need a favor.” He said “Can you take me back to school?” “Back to school? What did you forget?” “Nothing, it’s a new case. My principal hired me to solve the electronics going crazy. I had a girl land on me.” He spoke. “Was she hot?” Hack looked at him “To human standards. For me, those customized motorcycles are. Oh baby… if that was a Digimon, I married him.” He said as Hack rolled his eyes. “Don’t let Rebellimon hear that. He’ll chop shop till there is nothing but its tires.” Said Hack as Mach rev up and spin in the cyberspace. “I’ll crash into him before he harms my love!” He yelled as Hack got in. “I’ll make sure that won’t happen.” He said “After all, he’s after good parts, not rusted parts.” Machmon drove Hack to his destination. Canterlot High The Rainbooms stayed back after school to solve this problem but no matter where they go, they can’t find any Equestria Magic. “What is going on?!” Said Sunset. “This is too weird!” Yelled Rainbow Dash. “We’re the heroes here and yet, we can’t fix this!” She yelled. “For the last time, Dash.” Spoked Applejack “We’re not heroes!” She spoke. “We’ll only try to stop this.” Said Fluttershy as Pinkie Pie was bouncing around. “My Pinkie Senses are going odd!” she said. “I sense the culprit is here, but it feels like he or she isn’t actually here!” She said as they looked around. “This culprit must be caught!” Said Rarity. “They used the sewing machines to destroy the clothes I made and the clothes I wore!” she complained as her dress had some large stitches and a distinct pattern of cloth on her dress. “So, humiliating for a lady.” She told Twilight to write notes on paper since anything like a smartphone gets their data erased. “For all we know, it only affects all electronics.” Said Twilight “So the possibilities of it being Equestria Magic is 0.0%.” She said as Rainbow stomped. “Then what are we dealing with?!” she screamed. “I’m afraid that this isn’t something you can manage.” The Rainbooms turned to see VP Luna. “Vice-Principal Luna!” They all said. “What do you mean?” Asked Sunset. “My sister hired the Cyber Sleuth to solve this case.” Explained Luna, which confused Dash. “The Cyber what?” She spoke. “The Cyber Sleuth.” Luna repeated “A detective that solves any case that involves anything whether or not it's online. For this reason, we hired him to solve it as a case.” She explained the situation which angered Rainbow. “Oh, come on!” She complained, “For all we know, this Cyber Cloth could have caused this to make a quick buck!” She said as Luna narrowed her eyes at them. “The chief of the Canterlot Police & the head of the Investigations Department recommended the Cyber Sleuth, Rainbow Dash. I recommend you stop making any false allegations.” She said that Rainbow Dash looked scared and confused. “False what?” “Blaming someone who did nothing.” Twilight dumb it down for her. Applejack turned to her. “I suggest you watch that mouth of yours.” Said Applejack “The local police have been complaining about us using our magic to cause some trouble.” She said “Granny Smith is mad at me for kicking down our competitor’s trees which got me grounded for 2 months.” She said as Fluttershy looked down. “The neighbors have been complaining about me using my geode to attract any strays towards my home and they’ve been relieving themselves in their lawns.” She said sadly as they turned to Rainbow. “What?” she said as Luna walked up to her. “We also got complaints of a strong wind that’s been knocking down their trash cans when they get their morning papers.” She said which Rainbow gulped. “Either you all control yourselves, or Celestia and I will confiscate those geodes of yours.” She said, which made them protective of them. “(Muffle Voice) Once you have a taste of power, you cannot help but be tainted by its corruption.” They all turned to see a weirdo in a weird getup. “Who the heck are you?” Said Rainbow as Fluttershy backed away as Luna walked up to him. “Are you the Cyber Sleuth?” she asked. “Yes.” He spoke. “Ahh… thank you for coming.” She said as she and him gave a firm handshake. “Now, will you lead these… children out of the building?” He asked which ticked Rainbow. “HEY! We’re not kids and we’re not going anywhere!” She said as Celestia walked in. “Yes, you are Miss Dash.” She said which made her jump, “Or will you spend the next 3 weekends replanting the school’s football field without magic after your last speed run?” She said which made her gulp and turned to the Cyber Sleuth. “This isn’t over.” She said as she walked out as Sunset was about to read his mind, he stepped back before she could grab him. “What are you doing?” He asked Sunset “May I teach you that grabbing strangers or strangers grabbing you is considered sexual harassment?” He said which made Sunset jump back. “WHAT?!” She said while blushing. “My friends in the police departments have seen you grabbing people. They don’t know why but they’ve considered it as harassment.” He said which made Celestia grab Sunset’s shoulders. “I’ll have a word with her.” She said as she and Luna led them out of the school. “I recommend you stop reading people’s minds. Given how you do it, it is considered some acts of perversion.” Said Celestia. “But how can we-” “He’s been doing these cases before you got your magic.” Answered Celestia. “I’m starting to see that you depend on your geodes too much, you suspect anyone that is odd. His receptionist explains that the disguise is to hide his identity from any criminal accomplices. So, I recommend you stop using your geodes, you’re jumping to conclusions for the wrong reasons.” Said Celestia, which made Sunset grab her geode. (“Is it possible that having these geodes makes us jumpy?”) Thought Sunset as The Cyber Sleuth walked to find the cause. The Computer Lab Hack made it to the computer class as he turned on one of the computers. “Time to go to work.” Hack said to himself as he placed his hand in front of the screen as a portal appeared as he was absorbed into it, and it vanished in thin air. Network Tunnel Hack was floating in a network tunnel. As 3 Digimon appeared next to him. “Alright, Dorumon, Kudamon & BlackGuilmon! Let’s get to work!” Said Hack “We have to find the source of the havoc in school. Let’s go!” “YEAH!” They all cheered as they ran after Hack as he flew through the tunnel as they were looking for the problem in Canterlot High network to discover a Digimon that was wrecking up the network. It had gray skin, a round head, green eyes, a large mouth, long antennae, and a frill around its neck. Its arms are long and thin, and its hands have a symbol on the backs. Its torso seems to consist of strips of flesh that dangle separately at the lower end. “Hey…” Said Dorumon “I’ve known that Digimon.” Hack turned to him. “You do?” “So do I.” Said BlackGuilmon. “Uh… what’s his name again?” Kudamon shook his head. “That is Keramon.” Kudamon answered, “You wouldn’t remember his name because he’s only been in Digi-school for one day.” She explained that Hack went to his Digivice and pressed an app that had a Digimon holding a book as the picture. “Sensei Bokomon.” Said Hack as a Digimon wearing a lab coat with a pink haramaki holding a book. “Ah… Hack. How may I help you?” He asked. “Can you give me some info on a Digimon called Keramon?” He asked, Bokomon didn’t look happy. “Wait a moment, please?” He said as he materialized himself from Hack’s Digivice and turned to the Keramon that was wrecking the system. “Ah… yes. I know this one personally.” He said “Keramon was once a student in my school.” Hack looked at him. “Once?” “I had to expel him after he attacked some Digimon to load their data to Digivolve himself.” He said as Hack looked disgusted. “How revolting.” He spoke. “Exactly, he blamed me, but he also blamed education and school for being rejected.” Said Bokomon as Hack realized it. “So, he’s wrecking the network in my school as payback against you?” He said, which made him mad. “Normally, I don’t make it personal, but he made a girl that annoys me so much, landed on me. It's personal.” He said his Digimon team looked concerned for him as he marched to Keramon. “HEY!” He yelled as Keramon turned to Hack. “What the? A human in cyberspace?” He said Bokomon appeared next to him. “YOU!” Screamed Keramon. “That’s right!” Yelled Bokomon “I see that you haven’t changed your personality.” He said “Attacking and frightening poor humans as vengeance against me! I cannot let you continue to do this!” He yelled as Keramon snarled at him. BUG BLASTER Keramon spews out a bullet of light at Bokomon, but Hack grabs him and jumps out of the way. “I can see negotiation is off.” He said Keramon laughed at Hack. “Negotiations are for the weak!” He yelled as he began to glow and turned into a cocoon with spikes and tentacles. “And he Digivolved.” Said Hack as Bokomon looked worried. “He Digivolved into Chrysalimon, a Champion-Level. Beware of his Data Crusher and his Misconnecting or your data will be deleted, Hack.” Warned Bokomon. “Got it.” He spoke. “*Maniacal Laughing* This is the power I wanted! I’ll destroy all your precious schools!” He yelled as Hack pulled out his Digivice. “Not today or any other day.” Said Hack as it glowed and Kudamon, Dorumon & BlackGuilmon glowed. “Kudamon Digivolve to… Reppamon!” “Dorumon Digivolve to… Dorugamon!” “BlackGuilmon Digivolve to… BlackGrowlmon!” Three Champion-Level Digimon appeared, which shocked Chrysalimon. “WHAT?! HOW?! I DEFEATED MANY DIGIMON AND ABSORB THEIR DATA!!! I WORKED HARD FOR IT! WHY ARE YOU WEAKLINGS DIGIVOLVE WITH EASE?!” He yelled at Bokomon and looked at him. “They Digivolved because they have a bond with Hack!” He yelled as they smiled hearing that. “They are equals to him as they see him as their equal!” He yelled as Chrysalimon snarled. “THAT’S GARBAGE!!!” He roared. DATA CRUSHER Chrysalimon fired his tentacles at Hack as Reppamon stopped them with her tail. “You won’t hurt our friend!” she yelled LION CLAW Reppamon slashed Chrysalimon’s tentacles off as he screamed as both Dorugamon and BlackGrowlmon tackled Chrysalimon into the ground. “NOW!” yelled Hack. POWER METAL BLACK EXHAUST FLAME Dorugamon fired a large iron ball from its mouth as BlackGrowlmon breathed a stream of black fire at Chrysalimon, who screamed as Reppamon jumped in the air. ROLLING TACKLE She yelled as she dropped and spun as her tail went through Chrysalimon. “NO!!!” Screamed Chrysalimon as he disintegrated into data, leaving a large purple egg with green eyeball patterns on it. “Threat taken down.” Said Hack as he picked up the egg. “If only he listens to his teacher.” He turned to Bokomon. “Do you want the egg? All Digimon who get turned back to a Digi-Egg lose all their memories, if that is correct?” Bokomon nodded. “Maybe he’ll be reborn as a good Digimon with the right teacher?” He said as he handed the Digi-Egg to Bokomon. “I’ll raise him to be good.” He said as he turned to his team and gave them the thumbs up. “Great work, pals.” He said as he looked at the damages, “Now we got to restore all this damage.” He said as he looked at his Digivice. “Datamon? Can you restore this damaged network?” Hack asked. A small machine creature appeared from his Digivice. “(Shy female voice) Uh… I can… I can also improve the firewall and Wi-Fi to make sure no viruses can cause any destruction or lagging, if it’s okay?” She asked nervously as Hack smiled. “Only if you promise me you won't use the Wi-Fi to look at computer blueprints.” He said, which made Datamon blush. “Uh… I’m sorry for that.” She said as she went to work improving while Hack and the other cleaned up the damage. MEANWHILE, INSIDE THE SCHOOL Rainbow Dash sneaked back inside while Celestia and Luna weren’t looking as Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer grabbed her by the shoulders. “And what are you doing here?” Said Sunset as Rainbow looked nervous. “Uh…” “You’re trying to interfere with The Cyber Sleuth.” Said Twilight which made her flinch, “Is your ego more important listening to what others say and can do that you can’t do?” Rainbow pouted as if something flew past them. “What was that?!” Yelled Sunset as the others came in, even Celestia and Luna came but were angry. “Your punishment will start this weekend, young lady.” Said Celestia. “And your geode along with the others will be confiscated.” Said Luna which made them sad but mad at Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy looked up to see something hanging in the shadows. “Is that a bat?” She said which scared Rarity. “AHHH!!! A flying rat with wings! It might have rabies!” The bat in the shadows spread its wings and flew to the group to reveal a round bat creature with big talons and a blue mask with a skull on it. “(Little girl’s voice) Who are you calling a rat with wings!?” She yelled at Rarity which made them look shocked by a big bat that’s talking. “Uh… Sunset… Are there any talking bats in Equestria?” Asked Pinkie which freaked out Sunset. “THERE ARE NO TALKING BATS IN EQUESTRIA!!!” She yelled, which made the bat look at them. “Equestria?” She said which shocked her “It’s the nosy animal girls! You’re not supposed to be here!” Rainbow grabbed it. “I knew it! That freak with the mask is the culprit for this!” yelled Rainbow Dash which made the bat creature angry. “Don’t frame my friend!” She yelled and bit Rainbow’s arm. “GAAAHHH!!!” Rainbow released her and turned to the group. “Go to bed!” EVIL WHISPER The bat’s eyes glowed as it affected them as they all fell asleep. “Oh dear… Lucemon will smack me for this.” She said as she saw the Art Class behind them and gave a grin. “But first… a little fun.” She said and she flew into the classroom. 5 Minutes Later “Hello? Hello?"said Hack as he tried to wake up the Rainbooms & Co-Principal Sisters. They all woke up to see Hack, which Rainbow screamed. “Take that mask off!” She yelled. “Learn some modesty.” He said “Also what is with the graffiti on your faces?” He asked as they all looked at each other, they all started laughing as Rarity screamed as she looked at her compact mirror. “Who did this to me!” She yelled as Hack looked at them. “Uh… I didn't do this to you but I think you need to wash the paint off.” He said as he walked out “I’ll send you my routing number for you to transfer the money.” He said as he walked away. “Wait a minute!” Yelled Rainbow as Luna grabbed Rainbow and removed her geode. “Your punishment will start this weekend.” She said as Rainbow groaned. Hack’s Warehouse Hack got out of Machmon’s car as he had Demidevimon on his shoulder. “You better tell why you doodle on their faces.” He said Demidevimon looked sad. “I’m sorry but I was doing my job to prevent any students from entering the school, but I was called a rat with wings and the rainbow haired one grabbed me and talked about how you caused the destruction to get rich!” She explained “I couldn’t let her talk smack about you.” She said as Hack patted her head. “Just don’t let them get to you next time.” Spoke Hack as he turned to her. “You didn’t leave any graffiti when you were there?” He asked as Demidevimon shook her head. “Nope.” Rainbow was being dragged by her friends. “Your ego got you in trouble, Dashy!” Said Applejack as Rainbow frowned as she saw a big bite mark on her arm. “What the?” She said as she showed her bite mark to them “When did I get this?” She said as Pinkie gasped. “That big talking bat!” She yelled as Fluttershy remembered it. “Didn’t she say that The Cyber Sleuth is her friend and don’t frame him?” She spoke, which made them curious. “Who is he or her?” Said Sunset. Author's Note Uh-oh... The Rainbooms are now thinking Hack AKA The Cyber Sleuth is responsible for the destruction in their school. Who knows when they'll discover his identity but anyway, have a nice day, leave a comment and feel free to give case idea for me to use. You rate their difficulties by stars between 1 to 5. 1 star means easy and 5 mean hardest. So don't go overboard, write the title and details and I'll do the rest
Chapter 3Malware was back in school, Celestia and Luna sent massive emails that the situation involving all the electronics and internet repaired, all thanks to The Cyber Sleuth AKA Malware got his payment, $300, since he didn’t want to charge them too much after a job well done and work for an hour. He made it to school to see every student standing outside, even the teachers. Mal looked to see who to talk to. He looked around and saw the Diamond Dudes digging. “Hey, Rover, Fido and Spot.” Said Mal as they turned to see Malware. “Mal.” they said in sync. “What’s going on?” He asked while pointing his thumb at the crowd. “All are afraid of school.” Said Rover. “After all, phones, computers, and machines go nuts.” Said Fido. “They worried about their stuff being erased but hoping for their Search History to get erased.” Said Spot, which Malware looked at them. “Don’t we all?” Said Malware as he noticed the Rainbooms but noticed that Rainbow Dash’s arm was bandaged. “What happened to Rainbow Dash?” asked Mal. “She talked about how a big bat bit her.” Said Rover, which made Mal flinch. “A big bat?” He asked. “She said it talked.” Said Fido. “It was silly to believe bats can talk.” Said Spot. “Maybe magic rocks making them out of control.” Mal grabbed his arm, thinking of a way to change the subject of the bat. Who he knows is Demidevimon. “Uh… hey fellas! Want to see my new drawings?” He asked as they stopped and looked at him. “Yeah!” they said as they saw Mal’s drawings and liked them. He pulled out his sketchbook and showed them what he drew. “I made a few rookie and champion levels this time. Ultimate and Mega are next week.” He said as he showed some drawings. “This one is Garurumon.” “Cool…,” said Rover. Mal showed another one. “This one is called Dobermon.” “Sweet.” Said Fido. Mal showed another one. “And this one is Komondomon.” “Impressive!” Yelled Spot. “How do you make wonderful drawings?” He asked. “Uh… inspiration.” Answer Malware but in truth. FLASHBACK Malware was inside a digital farm where the Digimon can grow their own food and bathrooms for them to relieve themselves. (AUTHOR’S NOTE: I know that’s gross, but it's in some Digimon games where it was mandatory or else you’ll face the consequences of not letting them go to the bathroom.) Mal was relaxing near a tree while drawing Garurumon, Dobermon & Komondomon, who were playing or training with some equipment. “Inspiration by a moment of thought.” Said Mal as he showed 3 different drawings of rookie level Digimon. “This is Bearmon, DemiMeramon & Ukkomon.” He said as they gave him the thumbs up, but Mal saw Celestia and Luna were at the entrance with a megaphone. “It’s Celestia and Luna!” He said, which made the Diamond Dudes pay attention to them. “Attention, students and faculty staff!” Said Celestia. “We are happy to let you know that the situation involving all electronic devices and school networks have been fixed by the Infamous Cyber Sleuth.” She said which made some happy but some confused and Rainbow Dash stuck her tongue hearing the Cyber Sleuth’s title. “Wait!” Yelled Norman “You mean that this wasn’t a magical problem?!” He asked as Luna spoke. “No. This time, it didn’t involve magic from the other world!” She said “So if you think that it was a magic problem, please apologize to Sunset and her friends for trying to fix a non-magical problem!” She said as everyone apologized to Sunset and the other Rainbooms. “The Cyber Sleuth who fixed our problem, told us that a programmer’s education program went rogue.” Said Luna which surprised the staff and students. “Instead of educating our youths, it turned into a delinquent program that copied those tv programs and digital comics of delinquents.” She said which made them look confused as Malware spoke out. “It’s like bugs and glitches you see in games or shows.” He said “I mean doesn’t that happen to anyone?” Spoke Malware as they all agreed. “Now, all the electronics and the network are all fixed.” Explained Celestia “He even managed to upgrade our firewalls and Wi-Fi a bit, free of charge.” The students cheered on hearing that. “But that doesn’t mean you can use it for your videos or order things out of state.” spoke Luna who they all gave a half-hearted cheer. Mal walked up. “Given all that said, can we go to school, or we’ll have our time in school extended?” He said, which made them worried that they’ll spend more time in school since they have some practices or work shifts after school. Celestia and Luna opened the door as they let them in. “Come on in.” She said as the students went inside. Rainbow Dash was stomping while she was marching in the school. Science Class Mal was with Twilight Sparkle, mixing some chemicals as Mal noticed something odd about Twilight. “Hey…” Twilight looked at him “Where’s your magic rock?” “Geode.” Twilight corrected him “It’s been confiscated, along with the others.” She said as Mal raised his brow. “Confiscated?” He asked Twilight to turn on the burner to heat up the chemical slowly. “Rainbow Dash couldn’t control her ego and tried to sneak in where The Cyber Sleuth was working. She was trying to solve the problem before him but got caught and punished for it.” “So why-” “Our geodes are connected, if one is confiscated, all are confiscated.” Answered Twilight as Mal looked at her. “Understandable.” He said “I hope the lack of the geode won’t make you or the others do something stupid.” He said but realized his mistake. “On second thought, make sure Rainbow Dash doesn’t do anything stupid.” Corrected Malware as Twilight sighed. “I wonder how he managed to fix the school network? I would like to contact him.” She said to herself as Mal looked at her. “Uh… I think anyone can call him but only if you have a case for him. But if you fabricated a case to talk to him, he might blacklist you.” Spoke Mal as Twilight sighed. “Fabricating a case just to catch a guy who was doing his job is literally a crime.” She said as Mal sighed. “You better make sure Rainbow doesn’t do that.” He said as they poured the heated chemical in a beaker as the chemical reaction created an odor that smelled good, like chocolate. “Mmm… chocolate.” He said happily. Lunch Malware decided to eat lunch from a different location from the lunch room. Thankfully Celestia and Luna allow students who brought their own lunch to eat outside. Mal decided to eat in the school’s garden since no one goes there. He walked to a bench as he passed Wallflower Blush. “Hey Wallflower.” He said which shocked her. “Did Sunset tell you I exist?” she asked. “No. I always knew you existed but given that Magic of Friendship stuff happening everywhere, I try not to make… human friends. Only human acquaintances.” He said, which made Wallflower look down. “That’s almost like me.” She said “I mean I have plants before.” Wallflower looked away and noticed something different in her garden. “Wait a minute… where did that big egg come from?” She said, “which made Mal flinch. “Big egg?” He turned to see Wallflower checking a large green egg with yellow polka dots. “*GASP*” he said, which made her turn to him. “What?” She said as he shook his head. “Uhh… nothing! I mean… something weird has appeared in this school again!” he yelled as he looked around to make sure no one was watching. “Uh… are you the only member of the Garden Club?” He asked as he looked around. “Yes… I’m its only founder.” Answered Wallflower. “Good…” He said “I better take that egg away. From… anyone who wants to make an omelet or an experiment.” He said as he walked towards it, but Wallflower snatched it up. “Hold on a moment!” She yelled, which freaked Mal. “SHHH!!!” He shushed her. “No one cannot learn about this egg.” He said quietly. “Let me take it because only I know what it is, and I cannot let anyone else know about them.” Explained Mal which made Wallflower raise her brow. “And what’s stopping me from screaming to let anyone see this egg?” Said Wallflower. “You are a curious girl who can’t listen to others?” He said as Wallflower shook her head. “No. This isn’t the 1st time I’ve dealt with magic.” She answered. “Except that egg isn’t magic.” He spoke. They both paused as they looked at the egg, it started to have cracks on it. “Uh-oh…,” said Mal. “That is never a good sign. What does it mean?” she asked. “It’s hatching… Digitama is hatching!” Panicked Malware. “Digi-what?” Said Wallflower as the egg hatched to reveal a very hairy creature. “*Baby talk*” said the creature. “Oh, boy…” said Malware as the creature looked at Wallflower as she stared at it. “So…” (“Here comes the scream…”) “CUTE!” she said as she hugged it. “Of course… all, baby Digimon, always get the cute squeal.” Said Malware as Wallflower turned to him. “What’s a Digimon?” She said as Malware looked at it and sighed. He removed his backpack, opened it to pull out a baby formula powder and a baby bottle. “Why do you have those?” she asked. “For any baby Digimon I find.” Answered Malware as he turned to her. “We’re going to need boiling water.” He said Wallflower led him to the Gardening club, borrowed some water to boil, a teapot and a portable burner. He cleaned his hands and the bottle, took off the teapot to let it cool, poured it into the baby bottle, poured the formula powder, closed it, shook it up, quickly cooled the baby bottle and dried it up. Before he could give it to the baby, he checked the temperature of it before he gave it to the baby Digimon. “Here you go, Yuramon. Drink up.” He said Yuramon started drinking as Wallflower held the bottle while holding Yuramon. “Aww…” she said as she turned to Malware. “What’s a Digimon?” She said, which made Mal flinch. “You know more than you think?” She spoke. “Uh…” “*LOUD LAUGHING* She got you there!” Wallflower looked surprised as Mal groaned. “Shut it, Lucemon! You lazy deadbeat!” He said as his phone shined as bright light as a kid with angel wings holding a bucket of chicken tenders appeared, floating in midair. “Don’t blame me!” He said. “You know you’ll have to deal with other people who will know about Digimon, eventually.” He said as he moved his eyes to see Wallflower staring at him. “Staring is rude, you know?” He spoke. “Are you… an angel?!” she asked “Angel-Type.” Said Malware “But to be honest, Demon fits him more.” Lucemon sticks out his tongue and pulls his lower eyelid down. “The Akanbe pose? Really?” He said Lucemon flew to see the baby Digimon. “You know… I’m surprised that this egg appears without me sensing it.” He said as Mal turned to it. “You know, Digitamas are the only things that don’t release a powerful data spike.” Said Malware as Lucemon frowned. “I know that, but one appearing in this freaky school must have made my senses dull. I blame those magic animals from the other world.” He said as Wallflower looked at Malware. “Can you please tell me what are Digimon?” She asked politely, as they both knew they can’t erase her memories without erasing everything about her as Lucemon flew to her while eating. “I’ll explain.” He said “Digimon are literally us. Yuramon and me. It's short for Digital Monsters.” He said which confused Wallflower. “Monsters?! Wait… Digital?” “That’s right. Digimon are living data creatures you see online. In fact, it’s a parallel world that’s connected to your world’s internet.” He said which shocked her. “You mean… all those computer games and programs… are…” She stuttered. “Not exactly.” Said Lucemon “It's more like all those things you imagine but like a town made of toys, a city that’s on the side of a cliff, a massive city on the back of a giant Digimon. Like your myths and legends but better. They’re real.” He said, which surprised Wallflower. “Oh my…” She said in a state of shock as she looked at Yuramon. “So, this one is a Digimon, like you?” she asked. “Yuramon, a Fresh Digimon. It’s a Seed-Type and is like a dandelion seed, letting the wind blow it anywhere in the land.” Explained Lucemon as Wallflower looked at it. “A seed?” She asked as it started to glow. “*GASP* What’s happening?!” Mal and Lucemon looked surprised. “It's Digivolving!” They yelled in shock as Yuramon transformed from a hairy ball into a plant with legs. It blinked and looked at Wallflower. “(Baby Voice) Wall… flower…” All 3 of them flinched. “Wallflower! Wallflower!” It said happily as Lucemon looked at it. “Yuramon Digivolve into Tanemon.” He said that Malware scanned it. “Tanemon, an In-Training Digimon. A plant-type Digimon that looks like a plant sprout burgeoning from its head. Due to its extremely timid personality, if it senses an intruder's presence, it will burrow with the four feet at the base of its body and completely bury its body under the ground. Once it is completely hidden underground, the thing growing from its head assumes the camouflage of a plant, allowing it to defend its body from intruders.” Explained Mal as Tanemon jumped from Wallflower’s arms and on the floor while walking. “Wallflower! Wallflower!” it said as Malware picked it up. “Congratulations, your name is its 1st word.” He said Wallflower blush. “Aww…” said Wallflower as Tanemon jumped from Mal’s arms and into Lucemon’s bucket. “What the?!” He said Tanemon started eating Lucemon’s chicken tenders. “That’s my chicken!” He yelled in anger. “Give it to the baby, you big baby!” Said Malware “Tanemon needs some nourishment before she can Digivolve into her Rookie level.” He said Wallflower turned to Mal. “How many levels are there?” she asked. “Digitama, Fresh, In-Training, Rookie, Champion, Ultimate and Mega.” Mal explained “There’s also special stages like Armor, Hybrid, Burst, DNA and Mode Change but let’s start with the basics.” He said Tanemon was eating up Lucemon’s chicken tenders. “Ugh… there goes my lunch.” He complained as he looked at them “What are we going to do about Tanemon? It can’t stay here nor has someone found out its existence.” He said as Mal looked at it. “But I’m more curious, what’s a Digitama doing here?” “(Female Voice) It came here by accident.” All three of them turned to see a female human in a Japanese schoolgirl’s uniform that’s shredded with green spiky yo-yos. “Uh-oh…” Said Lucemon. “You know her, do you?” “Heard of her.” Said Lucemon “That’s BanchoLillymon, a mega and one of the 5 Bancho Digimon.” He said, Mal looked worried “And the hottest of the 5.” He added as Mal and Wallflower looked at him. “Seriously?” They said as she walked towards them with a menacing look as she turned to see Tanemon eating. “The egg hatched?” She asked as they nodded. “*Sigh of relief* Thank goodness, I was worried when it was hit by a hurricane.” She said which worried Wallflower. “What hurricane?” she asked. “There was no hurricane near-” Mal covered her mouth. “She’s saying that there was a hurricane in the Digital World.” Said Mal “Remember, both worlds are connected.” They looked at her. “I took that hurricane out before it destroyed the Village of Beginnings.” Explained BanchoLillymon. “The Village of Beginnings?” Asked Wallflower. “It’s where all Digitamas go when a Digimon is destroyed. When they’re destroyed, their remaining data is formed into a Digitama and appears there to begin life anew.” Said Lucemon. “Life anew?” Said Wallflower. “When our forms are destroyed, we hatch from Digitamas and start out life again but have no memories of our past life.” Explained Lucemon. “We don’t really die but it's like those video games where you lose everything and start all over.” He spoke. “That’s dark.” Said Wallflower. “But it gives some Digimon redemption of their past crimes.” Said Mal “So they don’t give another Digimon to hate them for something they didn’t do.” He explained as BanchoLillymon patted Tanemon’s head. “Wallflower! Wallflower!” it said as BanchoLillymon looked at Wallflower and her plants and smirked. “I can see you taking care of these plants.” She spoke. “How can you tell?” “I can sense these plants’ emotions. You care for them like friends.” Answered BanchoLillymon “If my other fellow plant Digimon were here, they’ll exchange stories with you.” She said while smiling. “Uh… BanchoLillymon?” Asked Wallflower “Is the Digital World… beautiful?” BanchoLillymon looked at her. “Yes, it's all beautiful, from the brightest and lushiest forests to the dark and dreary graveyards.” She answered, “It's home to all kinds of Digimon.” Mal looked at Tanemon, who was drinking water. “What are we going to do about Tanemon?” He asked. “We can’t let anyone see her.” BanchoLillymon looked at her and picked Tanemon up. “I can sense Tanemon’s feelings. She wants to stay with Wallflower.” She said Wallflower looked happy but sad, but BanchoLillymon snapped her fingers. “Let me see your Digivice.” She spoke. “Digi what?” Said Wallflower. “Never mind.” Said BanchoLillymon as she grabbed her phone. “Let me make it into those things you humans call ‘apps’.” She said she created an app on her phone. “There.” She showed Wallflower the app “This is a Digivice App. This will let you hold Tanemon and take her anywhere with no one seeing her. Promise me you’ll watch her.” She said as Wallflower nodded and turned to Mal. “Also you let me know of their progress.” She said as Mal gave the thumbs up as the door to the club was opened by Sunset Shimmer. “Hey Wallflower. I’m sorry for not seeing you yesterday, but given what happened, I-” She saw Malware with a girl in a shredded schoolgirl uniform and a plant creature. “*GASP*” Before she could say anything, Lucemon kicked her in the head as she knocked out. “What did you do that for!” “She saw them! I had to do something!” Said Lucemon “Also I don’t want their world’s magic messing up the Digital World.” He spoke. “You could have killed her?!” Yelled Mal. “You may be Rookie Level, but you are a powerful Rookie who can take down 10 skyscrapers!” He said as Lucemon checked her pulse. “She’s still alive.” He said as Mal looked at the situation. “Okay, let’s stage an accident.” He said, which confused them as he pointed at one of the flower pots hanging on the ceiling. “One of the ceiling flower pots fell on her as the ceiling panel broke.” He said Lucemon looked at them. “Okay… better than having her whacked.” He said. They all looked at him with disgust. “I’ve been watching too many Mobster movies.” 10 minutes later Sunset woke up to see the school nurse, Redheart, Malware and Wallflower Blush. “She’s awake.” Said Mal as Nurse Redheart checked on her. “Thank goodness you’re alright.” She spoke. “What… what happened?” she asked. “One of the ceiling flower pots landed on your head.” Said Wallflower. “I’m sorry for that accident.” She said as Sunset felt the bruise on her head. “Ow…” she said as she looked around. “Wait… where’s that girl in the shredded clothes and that plant creature?” She asked as Mal cleared his throat. “I don’t know about a girl but the plant creature.” He said as he pulled out Tanemon from his backpack “Is actually a plushie I made.” He said as Sunset grabbed it and felt fabric. “Huh?” “I… wanted to make some plushies of my drawings and I wanted Wallflower to see it since it was a plant-base creature.” He explained “Maybe Celestia and Luna confiscating your geodes might ease you all. You’ve gotten a bit jumpy on anything different.” Said Mal as Sunset looked down, thinking that it's true. “Sunset.” Said Wallflower who took the Tanemon plush and gave it to her “Maybe this will calm you down.” She said as they left the Nurse’s Office as Sunset looked at it as Nurse Redheart looked at it. “It does look cute.” She said Sunset smile. “Very cute.” Mal and Wallflower sighed in relief, they were in her garden. “Did she believe it?” BanchoLillymon who came from hiding from the trees. “She believed it and the doll worked.” Said Wallflower. “All thanks to Arukenimon.” He said, a huge spider creature came from hiding. “(Female Voice) I never thought making identical plushies of Fresh & In-Training Digimon would help.” She said politely as Calumon landed on her head. “Your plushies saved the day! You should sell them to the humans!” He said happily as Arukenimon blushed. “Thank you.” She said as she pulled out another one of Tanemon plushie and handed it to BanchoLillymon. “I know this isn’t a real Digimon, but it might help you know one is taken care of.” She said as BanchoLillymon took it. “Thanks.” She said as a black cat wearing a coat and backpack. “BlackGatomon Uver?” Said Mal as BanchoLillymon smirked. “BlackGatomon Uver is part of a group of Digimon to bring some Digimon back to the Digital world who want to go home or worse, are too troublesome.” She explained. “I asked this one to help you find them troublesome. Don’t worry, Banco Golemon and BanchoMamemon handle troublesome Digimon, so they don’t give us a bad name.” She said as Mal shook BlackGatomon Uver’s paw. “Good to collaborate with you.” He said as BlackGatomon Uver smiled and nodded. “I’ll visit you to check Tanemon.” Said BanchoLillymon as BlackGatomon Uver opened a gate. “Let’s have lunch someday!” She said as she went back home. “Whoa…” said Wallflower “I never thought there was a world on the internet.” She said as Malware sighed “Promise me, you won’t tell the Rainbooms.” He said “I don’t want them to let that magic world know. They might use it to send their monsters there.” He said as Wallflower thought about it. “Like how I found that Memory-Erasing Stone.” She said which confused Mal. “What stone?” He asked. “Never mind.” She said quickly and waved goodbye to her. “I’ll let you know when she Digivolves.” Said Wallflower as Mal sighed. “This is one weird day that didn’t involve magic.” He said and went to class. After School, Pinkie’s Home Pinkie invited her friends with a slumber party to cheer them up after having their geodes confiscated, especially Rainbow Dash. “UGH!!! I can’t believe that Cyber Jerk did better than us!” She complained. “UGH!!! Enough with the complaining already!” Said Applejack. “Agree, that gentleman was doing his job. Even if he was a bit rude, he was thinking of our safety.” Answered Rarity. “SAFETY!?” Yelled Rainbow, “We have magic! We can-” “Magic can’t solve everything!” Yelled Sunset “I’m thinking that Principal Celestia was right that the geodes have been making us jumpy.” She said as pulled out the Tanemon plush from her bag “I nearly thought this was alive.” She said Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy and Twilight were charmed by it. “Cute!” They said as they crowd around her looking at it. “Those eyes are so cute!” Said Rarity as Applejack blushed at it. “Who made that?” she asked. “Apparently… that Malware guy.” Answered Sunset as Rainbow snickered. “Really? He made that?” She said “It’s too girly.” They looked at her. “Don’t be mean.” Said Fluttershy “I’ve seen his drawings, and he made tortoise drawings.” Rainbow looked interested. “He did!” She said which made her embarrassed. “You sounded interested.” Said Sunset with a smirk as Twilight looked at her phone. “I just want to know one thing, who is that Cyber Sleuth that fixed the school’s network?” She wondered. “(Dull Tone) Did you say Cyber Sleuth?” They turned to see Maud. “Hi Maud!” Said Pinkie. “Hello Pinkie. Hello Pinkie’s friends.” She said “I heard you talk about the Cyber Sleuth?” She said as they nodded. “I’ve hired him before.” She said which surprised The Rainbooms. “What?!” They said as Maud grabbed a chair to sit down. “It happened one month ago.” She said as she’ll tell The Rainbooms the story about her 1st meeting with the Cyber Sleuth while outside, a woman wearing a mask and in leather was on a motorcycle doing stunts, she was going very fast as a cop car was chasing her a portal open to make her disappear. The cops stopped as it left them baffled. “What just happened?” Said one of the cops. Author's Note Oh boy... Wallflower became a Tamer by a Mega Digimon but don't expect her to be part of Malware's Sleuth work. Also prepare for a flashback memory of Maud talked about her previous meeting with The Cyber Sleuth. Leave a comment and have a happy new year! Also that Digimon who was on the motorcycle was Beel Starmon.
Chapter 4“It happened one month ago.” Said Maud Pie as she’ll tell The Rainbooms the story about her 1st meeting with the Cyber Sleuth. “Wait…” She pulled out her pet rock, Boulder, from her pocket. “Boulder would like to hear this as well, he met a very interesting living rock.” She said which confused them, but Pinkie was. “A living rock! This I got to hear!” Yelled Pinkie happily. “When I wanted to show my theory of mineral history to the Elemental College of my choice, I was completing my document about minerals and Mudbriar was working on his document about wood.” She explained which confused Pinkie. “Who’s Mudbriar?” she asked. “My boyfriend.” Answered Maud Pie which made Pinkie’s jaw drop and her hair deflated. “WWWWWHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTT!?!?!?!?!?” She screamed as Pinkie crawled to her sister. “WHY HAVEN’T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS?!” She said as she grabbed Maud’s shirt. “I wanted to surprise you last.” She said as Pinkie looked at her. “You mean you told-” “Mother, Father, Limestone & Marble.” She answered as she patted Pinkie’s head. “I wanted to surprise you when I was ready.” She said, Pinkie made a dramatic, yet silly faint. “Uh…” Said Sunset “Can we hear about the Cyber Sleuth, please?” She asked as Maud got up and sat on the ground with Pinkie on her lap and Boulder on Pinkie’s hair. “Of course.” Maud continued to tell her story. FLASHBACK, 1 MONTH AGO Maud was in the library of the Elemental College, typing her knowledge and resources on minerals and rocks with Boulder next to the keyboard. “Well Boulder, what do you think? Should I add more or it’s enough” Maud Pie asked her pet rock. “…” “(Dull Tone) What do you think, Twiggy?” Maud looked up to see in front of her, a teenager with a stoic-expression with Moderate and grayish gamboge hair and yellowish gray skin, looking down on a small stick on a tissue made pillow. “…” “You are correct. I'll add the theory that petrified wood should be considered wood.” Said the young man as Maud listened to him. “Despite the wood materials being completely turned into completely mineral materials.” Answered Maud as the unknown teenager looked ahead of him as both of their eyes met. “Greetings, I am Mudbriar.” “Hello, I am Maud Pie.” “That’s how you met?!” Yelled Rarity in shock. “Correct.” Said Maud “We both gave our opinions on petrified wood whether it should be considered rock or wood. It felt like a crystal whose purity of an orderly lattice.” She answered as Pinkie still looked shocked while the others couldn’t answer what she said. “So… romantic…” spoke Rarity in a happy, yet confused expression. Later Maud and Mudbriar had their pets meet each other as they both smiled. “I’ve never seen Boulder this excited to meet someone who isn’t a rock.” She said happily (In her own expression). “Nor I seen Twiggy.” Said Mudbriar happily (In his own expression) “I tried to find him a playmate of over 100 types of sticks, but I believe he found a playmate that he can be with.” He explained. Maud and Mudbriar turned to each other until… “AAAHHHH!!!” They both turned to see a student on the laptop, a few steps away from them. “SSSSHHHH!!!” Shushed the librarian “Sorry! But my documents… they’re gone!” She yelled in horror as another person screamed outside the library. “My research data!” He yelled “IT'S BEEN STOLEN!!!” Maud and Mudbriar looked at each other and checked the computers they were using, to discover their research documents were gone. “(Monotone Screaming) No…” They screamed quietly in an emotionless way. “Your documents were stolen?!” Yelled Twilight in shock. “Yes…” Said Maud Pie sadly, “I’ve been writing my document for 4 years.” She said “All been stolen. Taken from me as our Family’s Ancestor Holder Cobblestone retrieved a boulder from a dragon’s nest.” Maud explained Pinkie was horrified while her friends didn’t know how to react to it. “And then you and Mudbriar called the Cyber Sleuth?” Fluttershy asked. “No.” Reply Maud “We learn about him from a little kid who was stealing fish & chips.” She answered which confused them. Maud shed a single tear as Mudbriar wiped it from her eye. “This is a heart-wrenching event.” Said Mudbriar. “Hmm-mmm.” She spoke. “Awww… ain’t you just a sad couple.” They turned to see a little kid in a trench coat, with a beanie eating a bucket with fish & chips in it. “Technically, we are not a couple.” Said Mudbriar. “And ‘Ain’t’ is not a word.” Said Maud Pie. “Well sorry but I’m not here for knowledge, mostly mooching this Elemental College’s food.” He said as he ate up an entire fish fry. “Who are you?” asked Mudbriar. “Uh… call me Lucifer.” He said as they both raised their brows. “Uh… please explain why you are here, Lucifer?” asked Maud. “I’m mostly doing my job.” He said as he pulled out some flyers he had in his backpack “Had to hide out because I placed them on the faculty cars.” He said he dropped two of the flyers near them. They both pick them up and read them. “‘Have a crime committed online?’” Said Maud Pie. “‘Hire the Cyber Sleuth at once!’” Said Mudbriar as they both looked at Lucifer. “Cyber Sleuth?” They both asked. “Yep. The Cyber Sleuth guarantees your case will be completed, no questions asked.” Said Lucifer. “But how-” “(Demonic Voice) I SAID NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!!” Lucifer repeated it, which surprised them by his sudden change in his voice tone. “But how can we trust him?” asked Maud which made Lucifer snicker. “Trust is a big thing, but he has the trust of the chief of the Canterlot Police & the head of the Investigations Department. If that isn’t enough, then I have records of his work.” He said which made them look at each other and looked down at Lucifer. “Can he… bring our documents back?” asked Mudbriar. “Back when your autosave happened.” Answer Lucifer. “THERE HE IS!!!” all three of them turned to see security “The food thief and intruder!” He yelled as Lucifer grabbed a library book and threw it at them. “You’ll never catch me alive!!!” He yelled as he threw it at a security guard’s crotch. “GAAHHH!” He screamed as Lucifer jumped through the window. “SO LONG SUCKERS!!!” Lucifer laughed as he escaped. “Get that brat!” Screamed one of the security guards as most of them ran after Lucifer while one limped because of the pain. Both Maud and Mudbriar looked at each other and thought about it. “HE JUMPED OUT OF THE WINDOW OF THE LIBRARY!” Screamed Twilight in shock as Maud nodded her head as Sunset got up. “Do you still have the flyer?” She asked as Maud nodded. “Can we have it?” “You Pinkie Promise not to cause any sorts of harm or trouble to The Cyber Sleuth?” Asked Maud as all but Maud turned to Rainbow Dash. “Rainbow…” They all said as she crossed her arms. “FINE! But I want to know what he did that we couldn’t!” She complained as Pinkie looked at her sister. “When will we get to the talking rock?” she asked. “Soon.” Said Maud “We called him, and his appearance was odd but technically, he wears those to hide his identity from criminal associates.” She explained as they remembered what VP Luna said about his work attire. Maud Pie and Mudbriar viewed The Cyber Sleuth doing his work. “Hmmm…” He said as he examined the laptop. “I believe that I have discovered something within this computer.” He said which made Maud & Mudbriar check behind him. “What is it?” asked Mudbriar. “A hidden program within this computer that takes non-students’ documents from here and their personal devices.” He explained which made them mad. “(Unemotional tone) Who would do this?” Said Mudbriar. “(Unemotional tone) And why?” Asked Maud as The Cyber Sleuth try to find out who made this until… “That doesn’t sound good.” Said The Cyber Sleuth as he got off the chair as the lights in the library started flashing and the computer screens were showing massive amounts of code. “Oh no…” He said as a portal with numbers and letters appeared. “What…” Said both Maud & Mudbriar as they were both pulled in, along with The Cyber Sleuth. “WHOA!!!” Screamed The Cyber Sleuth. “You were all sucked into a portal!” Yelled Sunset. “I believe it was a portal, but The Cyber Sleuth said it was an illusion created by the flashing lights within the library.” Said Maud Pie “Yes… that’s true.” Said Twilight “Flicker light stimulation can induce short-term alterations in consciousness including hallucinatory color perception and geometric patterns.” “In English, please.” Said Rainbow Dash. “The lights tricked her eyes.” Fluttershy answered. “Wait… so… what you saw was a big fat fake!” Said Rainbow who sighs. “LAME!!!” “It felt real.” Said Maud “Also the friends Mudbriar and I made healed Boulder & Twiggy when they got hurt.” She said, which made Pinkie gasp in horror. “Boulder got hurt?!” She yelled as she checked Boulder with a magnifying glass “I see no cracks on him.” Said Pinkie with a sigh as she kissed Boulder. “I’m thankful for your new friends.” She handed Maud Boulder back to her. “What’s your friend's name?” she asked. “And where do they live?” She asked as Applejack cleared her throat. “Uh… what happened after that portal?” She asked as Maud continued her story. Maud and Mudbriar woke up in a strange location. The Cyber Sleuth looked around and turned to them. “Oh dear… this is bad.” He said as they looked at him. “Where are we?” Asked Mudbriar as Maud checked the ground and looked a bit scared. “The ground isn’t made of any kind of earth?” She said as Mudbriar looked around to see no trees and saw there were only platforms, walls and pillars that were made of code, over a bottomless pit of darkness. “Mr. Sleuth…” Mudbriar started to feel scared. “What is this?” He asked as The Cyber Sleuth summoned a hologram keyboard and screens appeared before him as he typed to examine the area. “I’m afraid I cannot tell you without giving you a mental breakdown, but I will say that we’re still at the library of the Elemental College.” Explained The Cyber Sleuth as they looked at him. “But where are we?” asked Maud. *GROANED* They turned to the sound of the groaning as The Cyber Sleuth ran to the sound, checked behind a wall and gasped. “Oh dear…” he said as he bent down. “I need some aid! We have injured victims!” He yelled as Maud and Mudbriar walked to check and looked surprised to see a creature made of rocks and a creature made of wood with dents and wounds which terrified them. “Abuse to sticks…” Said Mudbriar “Abuse to rocks…” said Maud Pie as The Cyber Sleuth pulled out a spray bottle. “Can you both help them up?” He asked, “I’ll heal them up with this medical spray.” Explained The Cyber Sleuth as they nodded as they helped them up as he sprayed them both as their wounds, damage and dents vanished as they both opened their eyes and gasped at The Cyber Sleuth & the humans holding them. “AAAHHH!!!” They both backed away. “Wait!” Said The Cyber Sleuth “We found you both hurt! Please… trust us…” He said they both looked scared but smiled. “(Girl’s voice) I’m Woodmon.” Said the tree branch creature. “(Boy’s voice) And I’m Gotsumon!” Said the rock creature. “Woodmon?” Spoke Rarity & Fluttershy. “Gotsumon?” Spoke Twilight & Sunset. “Why do they have ‘mon’ at the end of their names?” Asked Rainbow as Pinkie looked surprised. “Do you have a picture?” Asked Pinkie as Maud shook her head. “Any picture we tried to take was pixelated.” Explained Maud as she showed her phone which Twilight checked to see the pictures were pixelated. “What the?” She said which made little sense on why it was pixelated. “So… Woodmon and Gutsomon?” Repeated Applejack. “Gotsumon.” Maud corrected her. “Right… what are they?” She asked as Maud placed her finger on her lips. “I cannot tell you nor anyone else except for Maud Briar & The Cyber Sleuth.” She said which made Rainbow snapped. “WHAT?!” “I made a Pinkie Promise.” She explained which made Rainbow growl in anger. “How does he know about the Pinkie Promise?” Said Rainbow Dash as she screamed into her pillow. “Uh… continue?” Asked Rarity. “Gotsumon?” Said Maud. “Woodmon?” Said Mudbriar as they both examined them as their eyes widened. “I’ve never seen this type of rock in my life.” Said Maud as Gotsumon looked confused. “Nor have I seen this type of wood.” Said Mudbriar as The Cyber Sleuth cleared his throat. “I’m sorry to interrupt this amazing discovery but Gotsumon, Woodmon. Who attacked you?” He asked, they both looked sad. “It wasn’t his fault.” Said Woodmon. “It was some program that corrupted him.” Gotsumon explained as The Cyber Sleuth crossed her arms. “It must have been the same program that’s been stealing documents from non-students.” He said as he looked at the two Digimon. “Who got infected?” “Wizardmon!” They both said. “Wizardmon?” Said Maud & Mudbriar. “A Champion-Level Data-Type Digimon.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “Digimon?” They both said as Gotsumon and Woodmon turned to them. “That’s what we are!” Said Gotsumon. “It’s short for Digital Monsters.” Explained Woodmon. “Digital?” Said Maud which made both humans look surprised by raising their eyes a bit. “Are we in-” “CyberSpace.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “But a Champion-level couldn’t be powerful enough to bring humans to CyberSpace.” He said as both Gotsumon & Woodmon looked down. “That program which made him steal all those documents from humans, forced Digivolve him into Baalmon.” Woodmon explained. “Uh-oh… that’s not good.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “Who is Baalmon?” asked Maud. “And what is Digivolve?” Asked Mudbriar “It’s something where we can grow stronger.” Said Woodmon. “Our appearance changes but we’re still the same Digimon on the inside.” “Also, Baalmon is an Ultimate Digimon.” Said The Cyber Sleuth. “He’s a Digimon that excels in all knowledge. His kamiuchi will release a mighty, lightning-fast smite from the Dǎshénbiān and his Guiltish will turn his amulets into weapons to attack us.” He explained which Maud and Mudbriar looked at him. “The way you talk about a Digimon you never met, sounds like you personally know them.” Said Maud. “Uh…” “You are experienced with them, are you?” Asked Mudbriar as The Cyber Sleuth looked nervous. “I’ve… been to their home.” He said honestly. “But we’ll have to talk about it later.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “Baalmon is suffering and if we don’t do something to stop him, he’ll go out of control and steal the knowledge of the planet.” He said as he Digivice app glowed and 4 creatures they’ve never seen before appeared; an egg with legs, an anthro feline in Arabic clothing, a polar bear with dual bazooka backpack and a large blue creature in armor. “Paildragmon, can you protect them while I find Baalmon?” He asked the blue and black armor creature who revealed guns on his hips. “I’ll blast the enemy with my-” DESPERADO BLASTER He yelled as he fired gunshots in the air as everyone ducked and covered. “(Female Voice) Watch it, you idiot! You’ll hit us with friendly fire!” Yelled the feline Digimon. “Uh… sorry Bastemon.” He apologizes as The Cyber Sleuth pointed forward. “Let’s go, Bastemon, Digitamamon and PolarBearmon!” “YEAH!” He yelled as Paildragmon looked at the humans and healed Digimon. “Uh… sorry for scaring you.” He said politely. “I was trying to be tough, and I take my duties in protecting others.” He said as Maud and Mudbriar talked with Gotsumon and Woodmon. “He summons creatures?!” Said Sunset. “I knew it!” Said Rainbow “He has Equestria Magic on him!” “Hold it, Rainbow!” Said Sci-Twi “If he did have Equestria Magic on him, our geodes would alert us and nothing on Equestria or Earth can hide magic from us!” She said which made sense. “Then how could he summon those creatures?” Rainbow questioned them. “Well…” Said Fluttershy “Twilight did say those flashing lights made an illusion.” She answered as they turned to Maud to hear more. “Your world is all digital?” Said Mudbriar. “Correct.” Said Woodmon “And years ago, a human child once went to our world to be honest, he was a nice kid who liked to challenge others.” She spoke. “Yeah and he learned so much about Digimon that he wishes one day, we visit his world.” Said Gotsumon “And years later, here we are.” He said happily which made Maud and Mudbriar look at each other. “Are there many kinds of rocks in the digital world?” asked Maud. “And kinds of sticks?” Asked Mudbriar which made Woodmon and Gotsumon look at each other and nodded. “Many kinds.” Said Gotsumon. “Also don’t forget the 10 Legendary Warriors!” Said Woodmon. “Who are they?” They asked as Paildragmon cleared his throat. “10 powerful Mega Digimon that 1st appeared during the Ancient Digital World. Warriors of Fire, Light, Thunder, Wind, Ice, Earth, Water, Wood, Steel, and Darkness.” He explained. “They once saved our world from… a corrupt Lucemon.” He said as Maud and Mudbriar looked at Paildramon “‘A’?” They spoke. “We’re not one of a kind. In fact, there are a multitude of us Digimon. Many Gotsumon and Woodmon, even myself in the Digital World.” He explained which surprised the 2 humans. “Many Gotsumon…” “Many Woodmon…” They all turned to the sound and saw The Cyber Sleuth running towards them. “I FOUND BAALMON AND HE’S REALLY MAD IN THE HEAD!!!” He yelled, they witnessed a humanoid being with many paper talismans as a cape firing at him as he ran. GUILTISH “Paildramon!” Yelled The Cyber Sleuth. “Got it buddy!” He yelled and looked at Baalmon. DESPERADO BLASTER He fired at Baalmon who used his Dǎshénbiān to block the energy bullets. “KNOWLEDGE!!! KNOWLEDGE!!! I WILL STILL YOUR KNOWLEDGE!!!” Screamed Baalmon WINTER GUNNERY Baalmon turned to see giant snowballs heading towards him, but he avoided them but didn’t see what was heading towards him. SWING EGG Baalmon turned to see a large egg ramming him as he was sent crashing down as Bastemon appeared while dancing. VAMPIRE DANCE Bastemon opened her mouth and absorbed energy from Baalmon as The Cyber Sleuth charged at Baalmon. “SNAP OUT OF IT!!!” He yelled as he landed a square punch to Baalmon’s face. “GAAAAHHHH!!!” Screamed Baalmon as he went flying to a wall as he crashed into a pixelated wall. “*Groan*” “Sorry buddy but I had to.” Said The Cyber Sleuth as Gotsumon & Woodmon went to grab onto Baalmon. “Now… let’s remove that program.” Said The Cyber Sleuth as he summoned a keyboard, typed some codes as Baalmon glowed a bright light as a black sphere came out of him and Baalmon shrank into a small humanoid with a staff and hat. “Is that…” “WIZARDMON!!!” Yelled Gotsumon & Woodmon as Maud & Mudbriar smiled. “There…” said The Cyber Sleuth as he looked at the program. “This is the program that’s been stealing all non-students’ documents.” “Who made that?” Asked Digitamamon “Apparently, some teacher made this.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “Her intentions of doing this because she was accepting bribes from parents who want their kids to enter while failing the other students who enter the hard working way.” He explained which made Mudbriar and Maud unhappy. “How completely corrupted.” Said Maud. “Disgraceful.” Said Mudbriar. “Don’t worry, I’ll alert the authorities of it and that teacher will be arrested for it.” Explained The Cyber Sleuth. *Groan* All turned to Wizardmon who was starting to wake up. “What happened?” “WIZARDMON!” Yelled both Gotsumon & Woodmon. “Gotsumon? Woodmon?” He said as he noticed the other humans “What are humans doing here?” He asked. “(Female Voice) Saving you from a corrupt program.” Said PolarBearmon as they helped him up. “I remember! I was in the library Cyber Space to learn some new information for my friends but then I accidentally discovered an unknown program, and it infected me.” Said Wizardmon “I had no control over myself and had to steal data from non-registered students for no reason.” He said as he turned to Maud & Mudbriar. I apologize for stealing your documents.” He said while bowing as they both smiled. “Your apology is appreciated.” Said Maud. “And technically, you are a victim. Not the culprit nor an accomplice.” Explained Mudbriar as Gotsumon and Woodmon cheered. “I’ll start making a portal back home.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “Say your goodbyes.” He said as he marched back where they said their farewells. “Before we go home, I like to introduce you to my pet rock Boulder, Gotsumon.” Said Maud. “As well as my pet stick Twiggy, Woodmon.” Said Mudbriar as they both pull their pets to see Twiggy’s branch break and Boulder has a crack. *GASP* “Twiggy! /Boulder!” screamed Maud & Mudbriar. Both owners fell to their knees, their pets got hurt and it's all their fault. Woodmon and Gotsumon looked sad for their friends but decided to do something about it. “Let us help!” They both said as they grabbed Maud’s and Mudbriar’s hands holding their bets. They both closed their eyes as code and data appeared on their hands as Twiggy’s broken branch was restored and the crack on Boulder vanished. *GASP* Both humans were baffled and smiled as they looked at the Digimon. “Thank you.” They both said Woodmon and Gotsumon looked at Boulder & Twiggy. “Really?” Said Woodmon “You have a great owner Twiggy.” She spoke. “As do you Boulder.” Said Gotsumon “I agree that Maud is a wonderful human.” He answered as they smiled. “Maud, Mudbrair.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “It's time to go home.” He said they both looked disappointed to hear that. “Don’t worry about it.” Said The Cyber Sleuth “I mean, you can email each other and talk about minerals and sticks from each of your worlds. I have no right to tell you to say you can’t be friends.” He said, they’ll smile at them as Wizardmon gets up. “Once I’m healed, I’m afraid we’ll have to find a new place to live.” He said as Gotsumon & Woodmon nodded. “This place is too dangerous to stay here.” “I recommend the Canterlot Public Library. Less likely another corrupt teacher will be there.” Said The Cyber Sleuth as they gave a nod. “Farewell friends.” Said Wizardmon as they all waved goodbye as they were beamed up. The Rainbooms were amazed and baffled by what Maud told them as Twilight looked up about that teacher who made that virus program. “I found the Article.” She said “Apparently, a teacher named Cupidity Gains made a virus program that only targets students that enter the Elemental College by bribery. Any student who tries to enter there through scholarships and work their way in, her program steals all their information and work which will fail them. The reputation of the Elemental College suffered from it and temporarily closed until they found all the bribed students and expelled them for their families’ crimes.” Explained Twilight, Pinkie turned to her sister. “Did that Gotsumon look cute?” She asked Maud who smiled. “I owe him my thanks and Boulder’s life.” She said as Pinkie turned to Boulder. “Really?!” She said “I wish I could see him!” She said happily, which confused her friends a bit. “After what The Cyber Sleuth did, he charged us each 10 dollars as his payment.” Explained Maud. “And went to send the evidence to the Canterlot Police. He also said that Maud Briar and I should spend time together debating whether to go to the Elemental College or not. We talked and after talking with each other, we fell in love with each other.” She said as some smiled for her while Rainbow gagged hearing that. *CRASH* They all looked at the window to check what made it, to see something was chop shopping from the Rainbooms’ Bus. “HEY!!!” screamed Rainbow. “That’s our bus that punk’s looting!” She yelled and ran out of the room as the others, but Maud ran out. “Hmmm…” She wondered if it was a Digimon, but she had no evidence that they could exist outside of CyberSpace. The Rainbooms came out to see a large orange mohawk out of the shadows. “HEY JERK!” Yelled Rainbow as the being in the shadow turned to them. “DROP THE PARTS AND GET LOST!!!” She yelled as they heard the motor of a motorcycle. “(Punk Voice) How about I slice and dice you all!” Said the thief which made them back away. “He’s armed, Rainbow!” Yelled Sunset. “We don’t have our geode!” warned Rarity. “SO?!” She yelled “I didn’t need it before, but I can manage this loser!” Rainbow insulted the thief. “LOSER?!” He yelled as the thief came out of the shadow to reveal that he wasn’t human. “How about I blow you up!” He laughed which made the Rainbooms look scared. “WHO OR WHAT IS THAT?!” Screamed Fluttershy. “I DON’T KNOW?!” Yelled Sunset “I NEVER SEEN OR READ ABOUT A CREATURE IN EQUESTRIA!” She yelled as the creature had a rusty sawmill blade running and was about to slash them. BIG BANG BLOW Something small but shining unleashed a powerful punch at the creature as he went to the road. CHERRY BLAST YARD SALE BOMB A bunch of cherries were dropped, various objects fell from the sky and landed on the thief as the cherries exploded “GAAAHHH!!!” Roared the thief as a large moving tree with a cane appeared and a giant cockroach flew down. *SCREAMS IN HORROR* except for Fluttershy. “A GIANT ROACH!!!” They screamed as all but Fluttershy ran back in. “(Deep Voice) Roachmon! Get that human to safety.” Yelled the Talking tree. “(Nervous kid’s voice) Uh… okay b-b-b-b-but given her friends ran away from m-m-m-m-me…” Roachmon stuttered as the white rock creature turned to him. “(Female Voice) I know but we can’t let Rebellimon keep stealing car parts.” She said as Roachmon nodded. “Okay… Meteormon, Cherrymon.” He said as he flew to Fluttershy who looked surprised. “Uh… it's d-d-d-d-dangerous to be here. P-p-p-p-please… go inside for your… s-s-s-s-safety.” He said as Fluttershy started but nodded. “Okay and… thank you.” She said as Roachmon blushed. “That was the 1st thank you I got from a human girl.” He said happily as Rebellimon tried to escape but Cherrymon stopped him. “Your thieving days are over!” He yelled as he grabbed Rebellimon and threw him in the air. “NOW!” He yelled as Meteormon looked up. FALLING STAR She yelled as a meteorite appeared to strike Rebellimon’s motorcycle lower-half and exploded. “GAAAHHHH!!!” The smoke cleared as Roachmon flew up and caught a pale green egg. “We better get out of here!” He said as they left but Meteormon summoned a small meteorite from hand and placed it on the doormat of Pinkie’s house. “See ya soon, Maud.” She said and ran away as the Rainbooms came out with brooms and bats but saw they were gone. “Where did they go?” Said Sunset as Maud came out. “What happened?” She asked but noticed something on the doormat “What’s this?” She picked up the rock and examined it. “A meteorite.” She said which shocked Twilight. “WHAT?!” She screamed in shock “Where did that come from?!” She yelled as Maud smiled. “From a friend.” She happily said. Location, Canterlot City Apartment Complex A young male teenager was pulling out a strange helmet machine from a shipping box. “Alright! I got myself the latest VR helmet!” He said as he connected it to his laptop “Look out internet, here comes Arctic Ace!” He said as he placed the helmet on his head. “Now… let’s begin the adventure!” He said as he turned on his laptop and then the helmet as the screen glowed a bright light. “WHAT THE?!” Screamed Arctic Ace as the light absorbed him. The VR helmet landed on the floor as his laptop shut down. Author's Note Well that was Maud & Mudbriar's experience with not only The Cyber Sleuth but also Digimon. They Pinkie Promise to keep what they learn and who they met, a secret from their friends and family, much to Rainbow's anger and even witness some Digimon but were unable to do anything about it but learn what they witness and are more like them out there and what happened to that poor teenager that vanish? Find out on the next, EQG Digimon: Cyber Sleuth (I wanted to say that when I was a kid).
Chapter 5 1/2Everything Under the Sun Emporium Flim was making some posters for the shop of its 1-day sale, but he was sucked in by his computer “AAAHHH!!!” Flam opened the door to see an empty room. “Flim?” Music Center DJ-Pon-3 was making some new tracks on her tablet as it sucked her in. “AAAHHH!!!” Octavia Melody ran in “Roomie?” Canterlot Mall, Arcade Button Mash was playing a new game in the Arcade as his friends cheered for him winning. “All right! High Score!” He cheered as the screen unleashed a bright light as Button Mash’s friends covered their eyes. When the light dimmed, they saw that Button was gone. “Where did he go?” asked one of them. Camp Everfree Timber was on his laptop, using a VR helmet to try to design a new addition to the camp until it glowed. “Huh?” He said as the light from his laptop took him. “Timber, lower the lights!” Said his sister Gloriosa Daisy came in but saw his room was empty. “Bro?” Crystal Prep Academy Neon Lights was planning a light show for an event after school, but the lights went out of control as the phones glowed and sucked him in. “HELP!!!” His phone landed on the floor. Hack’s Warehouse Home Hack got up as groaned. “Another day, another waste of time.” He said as he went to his bathroom to see its lock. “HEY!!! I THOUGHT WE AGREE THAT MY SHOWER IS OFF-LIMITS!!!” He roared. “Oh, calm down!” Yelled a familiar voice. “LUCEMON!!! GET OUT OF THERE!!!” “Wait a moment! I’m taking my yearly shower and all the other Digimon threatened me to not use the Digital Bathhouse!” Reply to Lucemon. “That’s because your filth polluted the water that they had to scrub it clean for a month!” Yelled Hack. “Take a bath every day, you deadbeat!” He yelled. “I don’t tell you how to do your job, you don’t tell me to do mine!” “You only answer a phone call while you laze around!” Yelled Hack as the door unlocked and Lucemon came out wearing a bathrobe. “Right… all yours.” He said as Hack groaned. “I wonder if BanchoLillymon will let me know of some Digimon that gives discipline to jerks?” He said as he went into his bathroom. Outside Hack was eating his breakfast on the way to school until he met up with Wallflower. “Mal!” she yelled as Hack or Mal as he calls himself in public. “Yes?” He said as Wallflower noticed what he was eating. “Isn’t it too early to have lunch?” she asked. “It’s a breakfast burger.” He answered. “But it looks like a hamburger.” She replied. “The Burgermon couple make this for me when I have to go to school.” Malware answered. “Burgermon?” She said as she remembered that there are different kinds of Digimon “Oh! You mean the Digimon!” She yelled as Mal shushed her. “Shush! Don’t let anyone hear you.” He said as he finished his breakfast. “Yes. The Burgermon Couple made this as they own their automatic business.” He said “You heard of The Digital Burger?” He asked as Wallflower gasped. “You mean that automatic Burger shop that makes those delicious burgers for anyone? Vegetarians and Vegans even enjoyed their actual fruit and veggie burgers. Even those Tofu Burgers that taste good.” She said “It's run by Digimon?” “Some Digimon with my help got themselves jobs and started their own businesses.” He said as he tossed his wrapper in the trash. “The Burgermon couple did that business with Potamon who makes the fries as long as they don't let their competitive relationship interfere with their work.” He said as Wallflower sighed. “And you get all the free burgers and fries you can eat.” She spoke but Malware frown. “It’s not that great. Since I’m the only human, I have to taste test any new burger ideas and some of them weren’t that good.” Mal complained “That lobster burger was awful since they tried to deep-fried the meat.” He complained. “Ugh…” said Wallflower. “Anyway, how is Tanemon?” He asked, “BanchoLillymon did asked you to watch her.” He asked Wallflower pulled out her phone from her pocket. “She’s doing good.” She said and showed Tanemon sleeping peacefully in her Digivice app. “I’ve been taking good care of her and wonder about that Digivolve thing.” Asked Wallflower “What about it?” “How does it work?” She asked as Mal tried to put some thought into it. “It’s something even I can’t explain but I think it’s when they wish to grow stronger for a reason.” Said Mal. “I mean Tanemon will Digivolve when she has the reason to Digivolve.” He explained which Wallflower looked at her Tanemon. “I wonder what she’ll be?” She wondered. Canterlot High Mal was opening his locker to toss his stuff in as he was about to close it, he heard some voices from The Rainbooms. “What were those creatures?!” Yelled Rainbow Dash. “I don’t know Dash!” Said Applejack as she was baffled as well. “Sunset said that she had never seen creatures like that before nor if they exist in Equestria.” “If they weren’t from Equestria, then what were they?!” She yelled. “Fluttershy said she talked with that giant roach monster but how could she without geode!” Questioned Rainbow as Mal raised his brow. “Giant roach?” He said quietly, “Roachmon?” “And that giant moving tree with the cane and that white rock monster came to fight that green creature with the motorcycle for legs who was taking apart the bus. What were they?” Wonder Applejack. (“Cherrymon? Meteormon and Rebellimon?! I got to make a call to them.) Mal thought to himself, closed his locker and walked away but Rainbow stopped him. “How much did you hear!?” She said Applejack made her let go. “Stop it Dash! Getting mad and taking it out on others isn’t the way!” She said “Sorry about that.” Applejack apologized. “It’s cool but… I have to ask a question?” He said as Rainbow crossed her arms. “What is it?” “Aren’t you depending too much on your magic rocks?” He asked which confused Applejack but angered Rainbow Dash. “What do you mean by that?!” She yelled, which made Mal raise his hands. “I mean no offense but… is your magical strength your natural strength?” He asked which made Applejack. “What do you mean?” Applejack asked. “Uh… I mean the magic of those rocks powers you all up, all the time whenever you use them, right?” He asked. “Yeah…” said Rainbow. “So… when you don’t use them, don’t you feel sluggish and weaker?” He answered which confused them. “Huh?” “What I’m saying is… you let yourselves go when you used those rocks of yours!” He yelled, which shocked and angered them. “SAY WHAT?!” They both yelled at him. “I mean… Rainbow! You used to be the fastest runner!” He yelled, Rainbow was angry. “USED TO?! I’M STILL AM!” She yelled at Mal and raised his hands to defend himself. “Before or after you got your magic rock?” He asked “I mean you used it so much… Are you still the fastest?” Mal questioned her, who thought back and tossed him a stopwatch. “Time me!” She said as she pointed at a vending machine at the end of the hallway. “I’ll get there in less than 10 seconds.” She arrogantly said as Mal got in position to time her. “GO!” He yelled as he started as Rainbow ran and made it to the vending machine. “TIME!” Mal stopped and showed it to Applejack knowing she can’t lie. “Oh… I see what you mean.” She said as she checked her muscles. “I’ve been noticing it myself but didn’t want to believe it.” She said sadly as Rainbow can back panting. “So?” She asked as Mal showed it. “23.94 seconds.” He said which made her freaked out. “WHAT?!” She yelled. “I’m afraid he’s right, Dashy.” Said Applejack “We’ve been depending on our geodes too much, we’ve been letting ourselves lose shape.” She said sadly as Rainbow checked herself and flinched. “Oh… fine virus boy!” She yelled as she marched away “I’ve been letting myself get bloated. I’ll work out and I’ll prove that I’m still the fastest!” She yelled as Malware sighed. “Ugh… I was hoping that disappointment would let her stop using magic all the time.” He said as he turned to Applejack “Sorry but I want a day where we don’t have crazy magic happening. I still haven’t forgotten that amusement park owner removing people.” He said as Applejack looked at him, understanding that magic from Equestria causes trouble for them. “Yeah… sorry about that.” “Also, have any of you found out why that’s happening? I mean why are we suffering the bad from that so-called world of harmony crap? I think the better that world is spreading, the worse of it gets sent here.” He said as he walked away. “That can’t be true… can it?” Question Applejack. Lunch Lone brought his own lunch as he had burgers and fries. “Thank you Fast-Food Digimon.” He said to himself that the cafeteria planned a vegetarian week, and no meat was served which angered some students. Wallflower came with her salad lunch and sat on the same table. “Hey Mal.” She said as Mal looked up. “Hello…” He said as Wallflower cleared her throat. “I know that you’re not a friend-person, but this is mostly for Digimon.” She said as Mal sighed and let her sit down. “What do you want to know?” He asked, Wallflower drank some water. “I need something to feed Tanemon.” She spoke. “Let me guess, she’s ravenous?” He asked as she nodded. “I want to keep her happy but…” “Your food budget is getting damaged by it.” He answered as he sighed. “I should have given you a Digi-Farm before school ended.” He said, Wallflower looked at him. “Digi-Farm?” Spoke Wallflower. “It’s literally a farm where your extra Digimon go to relax, grow food and grow in strength without fighting.” He explained as Wallflower looked nervous. “I don’t think I can manage more than one Digimon.” She said as she looked at Mal “How many…” “Over 100.” He answered quickly which made Wallflower lose her lunch (Not the barfing way, dropping her lunch way). “How…” “I had literal years of experience. I started out as a kid but given how our technology and the internet progresses, it would make my years of experience worthless but…” “But?” Asked Wallflower. “Will people see them as living creatures instead of just data?” He asked which Wallflower wondered if they were more than data. “Also, I got some bad news this morning.” He spoke. “What bad news?” she asked. “I think The Rainbooms have seen some Digimon.” He said which made Wallflower surprised. “Apparently 4 Digimon, Cherrymon, Meteormon & Roachmon fought against Rebellimon from taking apart their bus.” He said as Wallflower tried to imagine them but the Smart TVs in the lunchroom alerted them. “We interrupt this program to bring you these important messages.” Said a woman “This is Chronological bringing you the report of people disappearing!” She said which made every student look up to listen. “Not again!” Said one of them. “It’s Equestria Land all over again!” Screamed Mirco Chips. “The list of people that have been disappearing are one of the owners of the Everything Under the Sun Emporium Flim, An employee by the name DJ-Pon3, a child, Button Mash, Timber, brother of Gloriosa Daisy and Neon Lights, student of Crystal Prep Academy.” The students of Canterlot looked worried as they noticed that some of their fellow schoolmates were missing. “A similar event of people disappearing involves Vignette Valencia. We are now approaching her for a comment.” The news crew went to Vignette Valencia who was on her phone and noticed the news. “What’s going on?!” yelled Vignette Valencia. “Are you connected with the disappearance of these people?” asked Chronological. “What?! NO!” She yelled at Chronological as her phone was unleashing a bright light. “What the?” She yelled even though the cameraman was blinded. “Vignette?” Said Chronological as the light dimmed to show her smartphone landed on the ground. “What just happened?” Said the camera man. The students gasped as Mal looked annoyed. “Ugh… I don’t know what to make of this.” “I’m afraid it’s not a magic incident.” Said a voice as Mal pulled out his phone to show Wallflower a Digimon. “Who is that?” “Datamon.” Said Mal “What do you mean?” He asked. “I’ve been examining all recordings from security cameras, computers and smartphones of all the disappearing and it appears that a Digimon is taking them.” She explained. “A Digimon!?” Said Wallflower, who covered her mouth as the students who were too scared about the disappearing people. Mal removed his hand on her mouth. “Now Datamon. Is a Digimon kidnapping people?” He asked as she nodded. “I’m afraid so. The reason for it is unknown.” She spoke. “I’ll try to investigate it, in the meanwhile, go offline and avoid using Wi-Fi.” “Going off the grid.” Said Mal as he sighed. “Better than being taken.” He said as he shut off his phone’s Wi-Fi and service temporarily. “I’ll suggest you turn off yours or it will happen to you.” Explain Mal and he looked at the other students. “I hope the other students and faculty turn off theirs.” He pulled out his phone to see Datamon “Turn off the School’s Wi-Fi.” He told her as she gave the thumbs up. “Already did.” *GROANING* “The Wi-Fi is off!” complained a student. “Keep it off!” Yelled Wallflower which got their attention. “Didn’t anyone see what happened to Vignette? She disappeared but her phone didn’t.” He said which confused them. “Could it be possible that anything connected to the internet is the cause?” He asked as some laughed as Pinkie appeared holding her phone. “I’ll check if it's magic-related.” She said as Mal looked worried as she looked at her phone while holding her geode. Mal backed away as some waited but nothing happened. *Sigh* Said everyone as Mr. Cranky came in. “What’s going on!?” He yelled as he saw Pinkie with her phone and confiscated it from her. “NO PHONE IN THE-” Pinkie’s phone shone a bright light as Mr. Cranky shut his eyes “My eyes!” The bright light shines on the entire room as they hear a phone landed on the floor. They all opened his eyes to see that Mr. Cranky was gone. “Oh boy…” Said Mal “Did anyone see that?” He asked as one who was wearing sunglasses looked terrified. “H-h-h-h-h-he…” Stuttered one student as another snugged her “HE WAS SUCKED IN THE PHONE!!!” She screamed and ran out of the cafeteria. They all looked scared as they pulled out their phones and looked scared. “SHUT THEM OFF!!! RIGHT NOW!!!” Screamed Pinkie as they all did it. “EVERY TABLET! LAPTOP AND COMPUTER! SHUT THEM OFF RIGHT NOW!!!” Mal screamed at them as they did quickly as some ran away screaming. Pinkie dropped to her knees as her hair deflated. “Mr… Cranky…” She said and started to cry as Mal placed his hand on her shoulder and handed her a plushie of Kuramon. “Don’t give up hope.” He said, Wallflower gave Pinkie a hug to comfort her while Pinkie hugged the plushie. Principal’s Office Celestia and Luna were in a meeting with Sunset and the others except for Pinkie which Wallflower was calming her down. “What is going on?!” Asked Celestia as Sunset, he couldn’t figure out why. “I don’t know.” She answered. “I mean creatures we've seen, I don’t think are from Equestria. I even message Princess Twilight to look up any of those creatures I’ve seen! A giant roach, a white golem, I think a Trent and some mutant that has a motorcycle for its lower half!” She said as her friends calmed her down. “This doesn’t make a lick of sense?” Said Applejack. “Uh…” Fluttershy gathered the attention of everyone “Could it be possible that those creatures we saw aren’t from Equestria and this isn’t Equestria magic but something else?” She said which scared them to hear that. “Not from Equestria…” said Sunset as she never thought it was a possibility. “Could the mirror portal have connections to other worlds than this one… and we’re bringing them in?” She muttered quietly. *Knocking* All turned to the door as Luna opened it to reveal Malware. “Mr. Malware?” Said Luna as he looked serious. “I’ve been asked by someone called The Cyber Sleuth to hand you this letter.” He said as he pulled out a letter and handed it to Luna. “He said that you hired him before if I remember correctly that you said he fixed the school’s wi-fi?” He asked which made them concerned on why he didn’t deliver the letter himself as Malware walked away. “WHAT?!” Yelled Rainbow “Him again?” She complained as her friends turned to her angrily. “He sends a letter.” Said Twilight “At least let us read it before you judge.” Rainbow crossed her arms. “Let’s.” Said Principal Celestia as she turned to her sister who opened it. “To my previous clients, I know that it seems odd that I’m sending you this letter but unfortunately, this involves my line of work.” “Line of work?” Said everyone. “The culprit of the disappearance of people is using advanced technology to capture anyone through a device that connects to the internet, turning matter into digital data.” “WHAT?!” Yelled Twilight, who was baffled. “That’s theoretically impossible!” She yelled and nearly dropped her glasses as Spike came out of her backpack. “But Twilight. Didn’t those movies make that believable and possible? That one with the mystery-solving dog and the other with that master program?” He asked. “That’s just it, those were movies. Science theorized it to be not possible to fully digitize matter!” She spoke. “Until now.” Said Rainbow. “Or it’s a magic incident that we have to fix!” She said proudly as Principal Celestia and VP Luna narrowed their eyes at her. “In a responsible manner that doesn’t involve sabotaging another for doing their job because of our ego.” Rainbow replies in a well-manner tone hoping to get her geode back. “Very well.” Said Principal Celestia who went to retrieve them as VP Luna went to Rainbow Dash. “Remember Miss Dash, misuse your magic and we’ll not trust you with them again.” She said in a threatening tone which made Rainbow sweat in fear. “Yes, Ma’am.” She said while sweating as Celestia handed the Rainbooms their geodes back for them to solve this mystery, but they need Pinkie Pie. Canterlot City, Junk Yard Malware got off the bus as Wallflower followed him. “I can’t believe you agree to join me.” He complained. “I wanted to see where you live since you agreed to give me my own Digi-Farm.” She said as she looked surprised to see where he lived. “This is your home?” she asked. “Yeah… filthy, isn’t it?” He said as he unlocked his entrance to it as he let her in to see it was a literal dump. “How can you live in such filth?” She asked as Malware pointed to the warehouse on a hill, over the junkyard. “That’s my home.” Answer Malware “This place is my business where I find some things I can fix and repair.” He said “I also have some helpers to sort things out.” He spoke. “Helpers?” “Hey guys! She knows Digimon! BanchoLillymon trusts her with one!” He yelled as some piles moved to show Junkmon coming out as some green trash cans to reveal pink creatures with a banana peel hat in it. “Wallflower, meet the Junkmon gang and Garbagemon crew.” He spoke. “Hi!” They said as Wallflower looked surprised and waved. “Hi…” She spoke. “First time seeing a group of Digimon.” Answered Mal. “Oh…” They said as he turned to them. “Anything repairable?” He asked. “We found an old vending machine!” Said one of the Junkmon. “Cool, now I need some candy to fill it up without Lucemon eating them all.” He said as they walked up to his home. “Your parents must be happy with their work.” She said which made Mal stop. “They’re not here anymore.” He replied, which made Wallflower’s eyes widen. “I’m sorry.” She spoke. “They’re not dead.” He said “They’ve abandoned me and I was raised by my relatives and my grandparents.” He said as he opened the door to reveal inside many different Digimon cooking, cleaning and doing some work. “Whoa…” said Wallflower as Calumon landed on head. “HI!” Said Calumon, Wallflower blushed. “OH! You’re that little one with Arukenimon!” She spoke. “That’s Calumon.” Said Mal. “He’s a special kind of Digimon that knows more about Digivolution than any other Digimon.” Wallflower looked up. “Really?” She asked as Calumon flew off her head and looked at her phone. “Tanemon will Digivolve right now!” he said as Wallflower’s phone shone as Tanemon came out glowing. “Tanemon Digivolve to… Floramon!” Floramon landed and posed as she turned to Wallflower smiling. “(Female Voice) Hi Wallflower!” She said Wallflower gasped. “You can talk in complete words?!” She said Floramon twirl. “Since I can Digivolve to Rookie-Level. I can talk even when I’m a Tanemon again.” She said as she hugged Wallflower “And I promise to protect you and your friends.” She said as Lucemon appeared with a liter bottle of water. “Here you go.” He said as Floramon grabbed it and poured it on her feet. “Hey!” Yelled Mal as the spilled water was being absorbed by her legs. “Ahhhh… delicious and cold.” She said happily. “This is how I drink water, and I can eat food like any other creature.” she cheered as Datamon appeared. “Mal! Wallflower!” She yelled “I have located the source of the humans that are being abducted by the Digimon who is taking them.” Mal looked serious as he went to his room and Lucemon flew to Datamon. “Tell me while Hack gets prepared.” He spoke. “Prepared?” Said Wallflower. “He must be in uniform to save your humans.” Answered Lucemon. “Is he a vigilante?” Asked Wallflower. “No.” Said Lucemon as Mal came out in his work clothes “The Cyber Sleuth.” He said which Wallflower’s jaw dropped in shock. “Holy sh-” Twilight’s Lab Twilight was typing on her laptop to find an explanation of people turning into data as Pinkie was hugging a plushie. “So, anything?” Asked Sunset as Twilight wiped the sweat on her forehead. “Nothing?” She said as they groaned. “Oh… I would like to know what’s going on!!!” Yelled Sunset as Spike noticed an ad of a new game appearing. “Feeling the need for adventure? Come to battle The Armor Rabbit King to win against him or be his prisoner forever to make his Moon Rice Cakes! Come and play ‘War against The Rabbit Kingdom!’” “Is that a game ad?” Said Twilight “I made firewalls to prevent annoying ads from appearing on my screen!” She said and she closed it, but a bright light came from her computer as they all screamed, even Spike. The light dimmed as their geodes were on the floor as the Kuramon plush was left behind and blinked its eye. “(Synchronize Voice) Oh no.” He said and floated in the air. Hack’s Warehouse “YOU’RE THE CYBER SLEUTH?!” Screamed Wallflower. “(Disguised Voice) Of course. It’s my afterschool job and I have to make some money to pay the bills.” He said as he tied his boots up and made sure his gloves were on, and no hair was out of his helmet. “Also, disguised to prevent my deadbeat parents, along with criminal accomplices from finding me and having me dead, kidnapped or ask me for money.” He said as he placed his gloves on. “Whoa… So… you fixed the problem at school yesterday?” She said “Then… was the problem caused by a-” “Digimon? Correct. A Digimon who had a grudge against his teacher for expelling him.” Explained Hack which made Wallflower mad. “Really?! Why?!” She yelled. “That Digimon was obsessed with trying to Digivolve his way, he slain his fellow Digimon schoolmates.” Answered Hack. “Sensei Bokomon was the one who expelled him, Keramon Digivolved to Chrysalimon and tried to destroy Sensei Bokomon but I had to stop him, and negotiations were not a choice for him. My team destroyed him, and he reverted back to a Digitama.” He said which made Wallflower sad. “I still feel like it’s wrong to do that.” Said Wallflower. “It does for me but it’s a last resort I have to do.” Answered Hack as he walked to Datamon. “Can you show me the link to the abductions?” He asked as Datamon smiled. “Of course!” She said as she showed the game ad that caused the abductions. “This is the cause of the abductions?” Asked Wallflower. “Apparently so.” Said Hack. “And this game ad is the reason. Anyone who closes it gets abducted into the unknown Digimon’s Cyberspace territory.” He said as he opened his palm in the air. “Let’s go, Wallflower. I need some help in calming the abducted people and preventing them from losing their crap.” He said as a portal appeared as both of them were sucked in. “WHOA!!!” Wallflower screamed as they were sucked in as Lucemon looked at the screen. “Stay safe, dude.” He said “I don’t want anything bad to happen to you but…” Lucemon closed his eyes and shed a tear “I want to help but I’m too powerful and do more harm than good against anything that isn’t a Mega Digimon or a program gone wrong.” He said as the other Digimon from Fresh to In-Training comforted him. Digital Rabbit Kingdom Hack landed with ease as Wallflower landed face first. “Yeah… it takes a few times to land on your feet.” He said as he helped Wallflower up as Floramon came out of her Digivice. “Are you okay?” she asked. “Yeah…” She said as she looked at the area to see a large castle with rabbit decorations. “Whoa… where are we?” she asked. “The Cyberspace of the game where the Digimon used to take humans.” He said as a screen appeared before him. Welcome to ‘War against The Rabbit Kingdom’! You must defeat The Armor Rabbit King in order to free all the prisoners he captured. You must find some allies of his race to win. Any above Champion Level is banned. “Above Champion Level?” Said Wallflower as Hack crossed his arms. “So… Any Digimon that’s above Champion Level is banned.” He explained. “This Armor Rabbit King must be a Rabbit-like Digimon. At least Ultimate level but there are a few I know.” Said Hack as he pulled out his phone to press an app to Summon Sensei Bokomon. “Hello young Hack. How may I help you?” He asked which Wallflower turned to him. “Hack?” Hack made a ‘shush’ expression. “Sensei, can you give me a list of strong Rabbit-like Digimon?” He asked as Bokomon pulled out a screen of them. “Even the ones that are mistaken for rabbits?” He asked as Hack nodded. “Especially them because I have a gut feeling that it’s one of these Digimon.” Said Hack as Sensei Bokomon pulled out a screen and showed a few pictures of Rabbit-type Digimon and those are mistaken as. “What are they?” Asked Wallflower. “Rapidmon, Antylamon (Good) & (Evil), Lamortmon, Crescemon, Rabbitmon, BlackRapidmon, and (Golden Armor) Rapidmon.” Explained Hack. “My best guess is either Rabbitmon, Rapidmon or BlackRapidmon since the boss of this Cyberspace is called ‘The Armor Rabbit King’.” He said Floramon looked worried. “What will we do?” She as Hack pulled out his phone. “First, we need allies, and I know which will help us.” He said as he Digivice app released who he chose which ones who will aid him in battle. “Meet Sagittarimon, Bucchiemon, Rinkmon & Butterflymon.” Hack introduced them to Wallflower who looked surprised. “H-Hi…” She said as Sagittarimon bowed to her. “It is an honor to meet an actual human comrade of Hack.” He said proudly as Rinkmon skated around Wallflower. “Normally when we meet humans with Digimon, they’re hackers that want money, power or fame.” He said arrogantly. “What is your profession?” Floramon got in front of him. “She’s an amazing gardener!” She said “And I’m her partner! BanchoLillymon made her my tamer!” Which surprised them. “BANCHOLILLYMON?!” They said as Hack cleared his throat. “It means that she has potential. Treat her with trust and respect.” He said as he turned to the castle. “We better inspect the area. Do not go in the air. We won’t know if they have any anti-air defenses.” He said as they nodded. “HELP!!!” They turned to see a male teenager running towards them while holding two Rookie Digimon in his arms. Ninja Knife Throwing Double Stars “Somebody saves us!” He screamed while being chased by 2 groups of Digimon. “Ninjamon and Shurimon!” Yelled Hack as he looked mad and turned to his friends. “Save that teen!” He yelled as his Digimon nodded as Floramon looked mad and turned to Wallflower. “We have to fight!” She said but Wallflower looked scared. “But-” “GO! GO! GO!” Yelled Hack as his team charged. Talon Arrow Bucchiemon fired arrows from her hands and collided with the Ninjamon throwing stars. Butterflymon flew up. Honey Wave She emits a sound wave with her wings that made the attacking Digimon lose their focus as Floramon came up Poison Ivy She yelled and threw long ivy from her claws that caught some Ninjamon and smashed them into the Shurimon. Rinkmon and Sagittarimon charged at the enemy. Spinning Cutter Meteor Gallop Rinkmon spun so fast and Sagittarimon came charging as the attackers were destroyed as they were turned into Digitamas. “Now that’s over.” Said Hack as Wallflower checked on the teen who ran for his life. “Are you okay?” He asked as the two Digimon in his arms got free to protect him. “(Young girl’s voice) Stop right there!” “(Young girl’s voice) We won’t let you hurt our friend!” “Who are they?” Said Wallflower as Sensei Bokomon walked up. “They are Lunamon and Coronamon.” He said “Both Rookie-Level Digimon.” The teen looked up to see a familiar face. “Wallflower?” He said she gasped. “Arctic Ace?” She said as Hack walked up. “Someone from the school?” He asked as Wallflower nodded. “Who the hell is this guy?” He asked as he remembered something. “Wait… are you the Cyber Sleuth that fixed the school’s Wi-Fi problem yesterday?” He asked which Wallflower’s eyes widened. “Yesterday?” She said which made Hack turn to her. “Wait… isn’t this guy one of the people who disappeared?” He asked as Wallflower nodded. “Disappeared?” Said Arctic Ace as Wallflower turned to him. “Ace… you disappeared for 5 days.” She said which shocked Ace. “What…?” Unknown The Rainbooms were in a wooden cell with other people who were forced to make rice cakes and to Pinkie’s disappointment, she couldn't have one. “SOMEONE HELP US?!” “WHAT DID THEY DO TO SPIKE?!” Screamed Twilight. The Armor Rabbit King’s Throne Room Spike was being forced to entertain along with a blue and yellow creature to the king. “Twilight… where are you?” Author's Note Oh boy... now who said that time flies by when you're playing video games.
