Chatterbox HackerHey, did you hear? The Zaxons challenged the Under Zeros! It was pretty amazing!

Chatterbox HackerCapturing the Under Zero fortress was hard enough, but it seems that there was a battle with another team on top of that...

Chatterbox HackerThe recently founded Rebels and the veteran Judes appeared as well, and it turned into a three-way brawl!

Chatterbox HackerFrom what I hear the Zaxons were driven to defeat, but their leader Yuugo barely made it out alive.

Chatterbox HackerSome guy told me the other day that he saw him on Kowloon Lv. 1.

Chatterbox HackerThere's a rumor going around that Yuugo is actually a ghost, like some kind of "immortal hacker." He just keeps coming back to life!

Amazed HackerBut, I mean, come on, all this talk recently is stupid! It's an avatar, it can't be alive or dead!

Amazed Hacker...Yuugo is the one who introduced Digimon programs to hacking, so he's a kind of living legend. There are lots of rumors about him.

KyokoAre you okay now? What are you doing? Where are you?

Kyoko...What? A living legend? An immortal hacker raised from the dead? Hmm...these rumors about Yuugo are really starting to get out of hand...

KyokoOf course, I'm sure you're not foolish enough to believe any of them...

Kyoko...Anyway, we have a new case from the legendary man himself, so please come back to the office.

Chatterbox HackerThe great leader of the Zaxons, the immortal hacker Yuugo! I heard recently from a guy who says he saw him on Kowloon Lv. 1.

Amazed HackerWell, Yuugo is the one who introduced Digimon programs to the laws of hacking, so he's a kind of living legend. There are many rumors about him.

KyokoYuuko said she is waiting in her brother's hospital room.

KyokoShe sounded quite worried. I think it's probably something serious.

YuukoThank you for taking on this case.

YuukoTo be honest... I'm thinking of just deleting my
"Yuugo" avatar...

Player!?

YuukoIf I do, the Zaxons will fall apart, and there won't be any such hacker as "Yuugo" anymore...

Yuuko...I've been thinking of doing this ever since the Under Zero incident happened...

YuukoThe Yuugo avatar is something I received from Rie...

YuukoYuugo is a special avatar. It allows you to pass through the system even if you have the wrong personal information...

YuukoRie told me...whenever I was using the Yuugo avatar, I really and truly became "Yuugo"...

YuukoI was being subconsciously manipulated by using the Yuugo avatar.

YuukoI was being controlled by Rie's wishes, and was unable to defeat my enemies...so I have decided to destroy the avatar.

Player...

YuukoYes, as you said, even though Rie has a connection to the avatar, it belongs to my older brother Yuugo...

YuukoDeleting it will be heartbreaking. I would at least like someone to be there to witness it...

YuukoCould you please be there to witness the last moments of "Yuugo of the Zaxons"...That's my case for you.

Player...

YuukoThank you.

Yuuko...Goodbye.

YuukoWhat? ...The avatar can't be deleted!?

YuukoAnd why can't I delete the account while I'm logged in!?

Player...!

YuukoHuh? There are people who saw Yuugo in EDEN...?

YuukoHas someone hacked the account? But there's no evidence of hacking!

Yuuko...

Yuuko...

YuukoPlayer, I'm changing the goal of the case...

YuukoWe need to go find the one responsible for hacking the Yuugo account!

YuukoTo think that someone would steal my brother's account when we were going to delete it...it's just awful.

YuukoIt won't be easy, but in this case I guess I'll overlook any illegal acts you need to carry out...

YuukoGo and have a look around in EDEN, and bring me back the criminal who did this!

Player...

PlayerIllegal act!? There's no way I'd do that! Have a "look around" in EDEN!? It won't be all that hard for you!

YuukoIf you have time to find fault with others, you have time to get going!

YuukoThe eyewitness account said he was on Kowloon Lv. 1, right? Let's split up and search!

YuukoI'll go on ahead.

PlayerAnyway, let's go to Kowloon Lv.1.

Player...

YuukoI just became a puppet that controlled the hackers whenever it was convenient for Rie.

YuukoWhen I push this button, the avatar "Yuugo" will be deleted...

Player...

Yuuko...

YuukoI haven't been using the Yuugo avatar since the Under Zero incident...

YuukoEven now there is someone else walking around EDEN, pretending to be my brother!

YuukoI have to stay calm and get it back... I can't allow this to go on!

YuukoI don't care how much it costs or how long it takes...!

Player...

YuukoI will of course search as well!

Player...

YuukoHuh? Isn't it dangerous to go without Digimon?

Yuuko...Don't make fun of me! I've prepared the sub Digimon for my "Yuuko Kamishiro" account.

YuukoI don't have anyone quite at the level of an Ultimate RizeGreymon or Machinedramon, but I'll be okay.

KyokoYuuko has contacted me to tell me the case has changed.

KyokoFirst it's the rumors that got out of hand, now it's the avatar...

KyokoI tried looking for it, but Yuugo's account has a thick firewall, and I couldn't access it from outside...

KyokoIt looks like we'll have to search on foot...

KyokoPlease go and ask around about Yuugo's whereabouts in Kowloon.

KyokoStill...

KyokoI don't know who it is, but anyone capable of hacking into an account with a firewall that thick must be a genius hacker!

HackerYuugo's whereabouts? I dunno. I heard that the team broke up after the Under Zero incident...

HackerSo...do you think he's a ghost? Shouldn't he be in, like, a graveyard or something? LOL.

Woman HackerYuugo... I heard a rumor that he died after hacking into the mainframe of some evil company. But just after that he appeared before someone.

Woman HackerThat was an amazing incident! It was an important one in making the power of the Digimon known to people.

Hostile Zaxon HackerUntil Yuugo united all the hackers, EDEN was completely lawless.

Hostile Zaxon HackerWith his Digimon program, he become the strongest hacker in all of EDEN...

Hostile Zaxon HackerThere have been too many incidents recently. I wish we could turn back the clock...

HackerOh, I just saw him. It was a bit further inside Kowloon Lv.2.

HackerHuh? How did he seem? Um...normal, I guess?

Hostile Zaxon Hacker...

Yuuko...

Hostile Zaxon HackerWhat the hell!? Well...say something already! You're freaking me out here!

YuukoI know a hacker from the Zaxons, so I went to talk to him, but...

YuukoI'm not used to this avatar yet... It's hard to speak properly...and I don't look right, which is weirding me out.

Player"Yuugo" is really you though, right? You're definitely "Yuugo."

YuukoOf course. Yuugo and I are...one and the same. Well...we are, and we aren't.

Yuuko...!? This...

YuukoIt's an e-mail from "Yuugo"! If this from the person who hacked the account...what do you think he's planning?

Yuuko"I am waiting for you in the place I was born." An Avalon Server URL is attached to the message.

Player...?

YuukoAvalon Server? That's where Rie asked me to be the leader of the Zaxons...

YuukoThat's when I first became "Yuugo." It's the place where Yuugo was "born."

YuukoBut...the only ones who know that are myself and Rie... Player, this is probably a trap. We should go together.

YuukoBut the only ones who know about it are myself and Rie...

PlayerTrap or not, let's go! Nothing ventured, nothing gained! Trap-schmap! Bring it on, Kishibe!

YuukoThank you.

Yuuko...Anyway, let's go!

Player...!

Hostile Zaxon Hacker...Well, I'm not needed, so I'm just gonna go then!

Player?

Yuuko...We finally found you. Who are you?

YuukoWho are you? You give that avatar back right this minute!

YuugoI am "Yuugo," leader of the Zaxons.

YuukoStop kidding around! You give that avatar back right this minute!

Yuugo...Is this avatar important to you, Yuuko?

YuukoYou...you know my name?

YuugoOf course, I am "Yuugo." Isn't this is the avatar that you have been using in EDEN for so many years?

YuugoIt seems that you think this account has been hacked but...that's not true.

YuukoDon't lie to me! Nobody has logged in!

YuugoBut this is an account that was created by Rie Kishibe with its own AI, in order to manipulate you.

YuugoYuugo, the "ideal hacker" who was designed to unify all the hackers of EDEN... That is who I am.

YuukoYou...you're an AI...that was built into my avatar? ...You're a program?

YuugoExactly.

YuugoEven though you are a quiet and reserved person, you were able to be Yuugo. I am the reason that was possible... Do you understand now?

YuukoBut...

YuugoYou and I have been partners all these years...

YuugoYou and I have been partners all these years...

YuugoAnd yet...why would you try to erase me?

YuugoYou became me in order to protect EDEN, didn't you?

Yuuko...Yes, I did.

YuukoI was alone and powerless. I didn't think I could protect EDEN, so I accepted Rie's invitation.

YuukoMy brother, who I respect more than anyone, protects the EDEN our father created.

YuukoThe avatar looks just like my brother, so it has always felt just like we were together...

YuugoI see... Okay, from now on let's protect EDEN together!

Yuuko...

Yuuko...It's for that very reason that I felt comfortable, terrible as I am.

YuukoBecause of that, I was manipulated by Rie and in the end, I threw my father's EDEN into chaos.

YuukoI won't allow myself to depend on you anymore! Today...I will delete you!

Yuugo...You can't delete me! I was created to protect EDEN!

YuugoEDEN is the only place I can exist.

YuukoI thought so too, but...there are certainly places outside of EDEN where we can live!

YuugoMaybe that's true for you, but... I am a program. I cannot live anywhere else.

YuukoMa...Machinedramon...! Why? You're my Digimon!

YuugoMachinedramon and I fight together. It seems he still sees me as "Yuugo."

YuugoRizeGreymon... It seems he's chosen you.

YuugoBut, can you beat me, I wonder? Without me, you can't talk to your companions...

Yuuko...!

YuukoPlayer!

YuugoI see... So you've made your choice.

YuugoHow we think, where we live, our Digimon, our friends... We are completely different.

YuugoThe only way to decide this is with a battle. We are proud hackers of EDEN, are we not?

Yuuko...That's what I want! I...I've decided to split myself in two!

YuugoNo one is logged in as me.

YuugoIndeed, it's just as you say.

Yuuko...

YuugoAnyway, without me you can never be Yuugo, right? Yet you still want to delete me?

Yuuko...I have nothing but contempt for Rie.

Yuugo?

Yuuko...You are without question the best brother anyone could ask for.

Yuuko...

YuugoBut I understand now... You and I...we're different people.

YuugoPlease, don't misunderstand, I don't want to hurt you, but...I just don't want to be deleted.

YuugoI see... I suppose I have to disappear, then.

Yuuko...No. I won't delete you.

YuugoI see. In that case...

Yuuko...

Player...

Yuuko...

Player...

Yuuko...What? Stop staring at me! I'm not going to cry, you know!

Player...

Yuuko...RizeGreymon, I'm no longer "Yuugo," but will you still stay with me?

RizeGreymonGrrrrr...

Yuuko...Thanks.

YuukoYou Digivolved, and you have a different body than before. I'm happy for you, but...I miss your old form a little bit...

YuukoThe case is closed. Thank you.

Yuuko...Shall we go?

YuukoNo, no, don't worry. It's not like I'm gonna go binge eating or anything like that... I...I just need to get over it, that's all.

Yuuko...Are you coming or not?

YuukoNo, I'm just binge eating, that's all. I just need to get over it all.

Yuugo?

YuukoThe real me is still in here...

RizeGreymonGrrrrrrr...

YuukoWell...

Yuuko...

YuukoBy the way...

YuukoI'm in the middle of doing a round of the cake shops in Nakano...

KyokoYuuko thought the cakes were so delicious she just kept eating and eating, until the manager ended up crying.

KyokoShe was late contacting me, so I was worried, and then that was what she had to say in the end...

KyokoI know we normally work a case to the end and provide the client with support afterwards, but... Maybe we should pass on it this time...

KyokoHowever, I have seen many instances of accounts being stolen by Digimon.

KyokoFor a human-like AI to start stealing accounts like that...

KyokoWhen it comes to programming, an AI and a Digimon are basically the same...

KyokoI seems that more and more strange things are happening in cyberspace.

PlayerYeah, it's really freaky! It's completely bizarre!

KyokoEven you could be referred to as "strange," don't you think?

Kyoko...Indeed.

KyokoYou nod and say "Uh-huh" just like everyone else, but...

Busy NurseHey, you're Yuuko's friend, right?

Busy NurseHuh? Yuugo's room? We can't just let anyone go in there, you know.

Busy Nurse...Okay, tell you what, I didn't see you or anyone else, so just go ahead. It'll be our secret.

DebugI learned that Yuugo is on Kowloon lv.2 through the Keyword system. Progress + 1

RyotaOh! Player! I heard there have been more sightings of the "White Boy"! If that's true, it could be a good chance to take a few photos!
