Bewildered HackerI can't do that. Please don't ask again.

RyujiYou have to do it.

Bewildered HackerI'm serious...

ChitoseRyuji!

RyujiYou're here.

ChitoseHuh? Everything's normal. I heard you were on a rampage. I expected the worst.

Bewildered HackerHey, Hudie! You have to stop him! He's your leader, right?

WormmonWhat's he done?

Puzzled HackerHe gathered all the EDEN hackers he could find, prostrated himself in the middle of the street, and told everyone to hit him.

ChitoseWhy would he do that?

ChitoseWe were worried he'd been manipulated into going on another rampage, like with Arcadiamon. What a relief...

ChitoseCome on! What's the meaning of this, Ryuji?!

RyujiI told you, there's something I want you to see.

RyujiIt's time for me to pay for what I did.

Player...?

RyujiArcadiamon may have been controlling me, but what I did to the EDEN hackers is unforgivable.

RyujiThis is where I make amends. I'm going to apologize to each of the EDEN hackers one by one. And I want you to see it.

Bewildered HackerWe're fine! We really aren't mad at you!

Bewildered HackerEven Zaxon said that the members of Hudie were victims too, so no one's to blame.

RyujiJust empty words!

Bewildered HackerHuh?!

RyujiI blamed you for things that you had no control over and then went on a rampage.

RyujiIf I was in your place, and someone did something that terrible to me, nothing they said could make me forgive them, whether they remember it or not!

RyujiNow I must pay the price... Cyberdramon!

ChitoseHey, wait! What are you gonna do, Ryuji?!

RyujiI told them to hit me, but they refused.

RyujiSo what other choice do I have?!

ChitoseHang on! You want everyone to watch Cyberdramon beat you black and blue?!

RyujiThat's right.

ChitoseStop this!

RyujiDon't get in my way! If I don't do this, I'll never be at peace! I can only truly pay for what I did by putting my life in danger!

ChitoseNobody wants to see that! You'd be punishing them, not yourself! Do you really want that on your conscience?!

RyujiThen what should I do?! Something more direct?! A finger?! An ear?!

RyujiOr maybe I should go and sit at the top of a freezing cold mountain!

Player(It sounds like he's really gone off the deep end! I have to do something!)

WormmonWhat? You want me to talk him down?

ChitoseOh yeah! Your memories are linked to Erika's! Just calm him down like she would!

WormmonLike she would... Okay, got it!

WormmonWhat would she say in this situation?

Wormmon...

Wormmon"Ryuji!"

Ryuji...

Wormmon"Hang in there!"

RyujiOkay!

ChitoseStop!

WormmonOh... Sorry. There might be some noise between me and Erika's memories as a result of being assimilated by the Eaters.

Familiar VoiceI thought I heard some commotion. I should have known I'd find you here.

Player...!

FeiThere's a critical battle coming up. What are you doing?

RyujiIt's precisely because there's a critical battle coming up that I need to pay for what I did!

FeiThis is just an ego trip, isn't it?! You just want someone to punish you, right?

Ryuji...!!!

ChitoseShe's right, isn't she, Ryuji?

Ryuji...

FeiFine. If you want to be punished so badly, I'll be happy to oblige.

ChitoseHey, Fei!

FeiJust think of it as a going-away gift before you head to EDEN.

RyujiYeah. Don't stop until I get what I deserve.

FeiWhat are you talking about?

FeiPull yourself together! How long do you intend to keep this up?!

Ryuji?!

FeiThe price you have to have to pay isn't making an apology or causing yourself harm!

FeiRemorse, guilt... You need to rid yourself of all that stuff before your see your sister, right?!

FeiYou're a hacker! So start acting like one! Ryuji Mishima!

FeiThe best way to make things right is to go back to being the ambitious hacker who the people of EDEN once looked up to as a legend!

Ryuji...!!!

RyujiBack to my old self...

RyujiYou're right. My first mistake was losing sight of my path.

RyujiI need to get back on that path. I let you and Erika down.

Player...

RyujiFei, please fight me.

RyujiNot as punishment, but so I can show you how determined I am.

RyujiI'll make amends by proving my abilities as a hacker, rescuing Erika, and saving EDEN.

RyujiThat's the only way I can make up for what I've done...as a hacker!

FeiYou seem to have perked up.

Ryuji?!

RyujiCyberdramon?!

WormmonCyberdramon Digivolved! It responded to Ryuji's determination!

FeiSo that's what you mean by determination?

FeiVery well. Show me what you've got.

Fei Underling HackerFei, I'll help you!

Confused HackerCount me in, too!

RyujiThanks, everyone.

ChitoseWe'll join you, Ryuji.

RyujiNo, not this time.

ChitoseTrying to go it alone as usual? We're partially to blame for letting you go on that rampage. Let us pay the price with you.

RyujiChitose...

ChitoseAnd you're not our leader anymore. So you should do as you're told.

ChitoseIsn't that right, leader?

RyujiI wouldn't want to turn down our leader's kind offer. Okay, join me.

FeiCome to think of it, I've never actually done battle against all of you before.

FeiThis is a good chance to make sure I can trust you with EDEN!
