NokiaHeehee. Way to go, GM. But we're just warming up.

Cheeky Tamer BoyOkay. I guess I'm next...

Player...? ...?!

MetalGarurumonNokia...

NokiaYeah?

MetalGarurumonIt seems like Player's been kind of lost in all this. Are you sure you explained everything properly?

NokiaUm, well, I chose the nickname Golden Maniac from the way Player looks...

NokiaAnd then GM was just an obvious cool, abbreviation of that...

MetalGarurumonNot that! I'm talking about the training!

NokiaWhat? I explained it... didn't I? Player?

Player...

NokiaWhat? I didn't explain?

NokiaOh, crap! You should have said something! You're too quiet for your own good, Player!

MetalGarurumonWhat we wanted, Player, was for you to train them for battle skills!

WarGreymonSo they'd be stronger against those nasty hackers!

NokiaThat's not all.

Player?

NokiaThe point of the training is not just strength!

Player!

NokiaIt's also to deepen our bonds with our Digimon.

NokiaSort of like our hot springs ping-pong matches and our all-night karaoke!

NokiaIf we can pull through those kinds of events, we should be able to achieve true power, beyond brute strength!

NokiaAnd with that power, we can help the Digimon being misused by hackers, in order to make EDEN a home for us all!

NokiaWe Rebels hereby declare our decision to begin the We Love Digimon Initiative!

Player...

NokiaAnd you'll join us to train us for this transcendental dream! Right, Player?

PlayerUm, sure... Y-Yeah... Okay...

Flunky Tamer BoyFinally! Such an impassioned speech! Akkino's bursting with power and devotion!

Cheeky Tamer BoyIt's fun getting tossed about by the tsunami of her power. This is what true charisma is!

Yuugo...

NokiaOh! It's... Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Yu... Y-Y-Yuugo!

YuugoSo this is your dream? And these hackers, they're your team?

NokiaWh-What are you here for? Has the leader of the Zaxons come to c-c-crush the Rebels?!

YuugoIf you were a threat to the Zaxons, then that might be an option for me to consider.

YuugoBut from the look of things, there doesn't appear to be any need of that.

NokiaWh-Wh-What do you mean by that?! Are you saying we're still noobs?!

NokiaYou think you can just look down your nose at us! You want to test our power, then?

NokiaWhat? Well, sure, we were beaten silly last time by that girl Fei. But do we just take that lying down?!

MetalGarurumonBut, Nokia. Yuugo isn't a bad hacker, is he?

WarGreymonI sort of get the impression that he's not.

YuugoYour Digimon sure do talk a lot.

NokiaYuugo! You're a hacker group leader. Hackers will listen to you! Tell them! Tell them Digimon are not just programs!

YuugoThere's something else I need to tell the hackers. Your speech was inspiring, though.

NokiaWhat?!

YuugoNokia... If at all possible, I would rather not fight you.

YuugoJust don't interfere with me. With Zaxon.

NokiaHey, hang on a sec, Yuugo! Are you planning something?!

NokiaYo! Hang on, I said!
