ArataHeh, that punch stung, I'll give you that.
ArataThat was a really childish thing of you to do back there, but...that's not necessarily a bad thing, either.
ArataHey, Player?
ArataUh...
ArataTha'...
Player...
ArataTh-thanks...
Player...
Arata...
ArataYou plan on staring at me all quiet like that all day or something? Cut it out, Player!
ArataIt's weird and embarrassing seeing that! I mean... I guess that's kind of your thing, but still!
ArataActually, to be honest...I have something I need to ask you.
ArataBecause of all that trouble I ran into, I'm starting to feel like I'm falling behind the rest of you in terms of sheer strength and whatnot.
ArataI hate just leaving all the cool stuff to you and Nokia, so...
ArataI want you to come with me for a little while. I'll file this as a proper case, so now you have to do it as part of your job, right?
ArataI have something I need you to do for me. I can count on you to handle it, right? I'll make sure to file the paperwork at your workplace.
ArataSo you'll come along with me after all? Great! Thanks a lot, Player. I mean it.
ArataThere's only one thing I have in mind for us to do and that's go out and capture me a really strong Digimon.
ArataAll the crap I've had to put up with lately has meant I'm short on new Digimon and that's not good, not in the least.
ArataBesides...I also have some revenge that I need to exact sooner rather than later.
Player???
ArataLet's get going, Player. We're going to Under Zero.
Player!?
ArataI'm sure you remember, but to get to Under Zero, we have to go through the Valhalla Server. This won't be easy, but I trust you to get us through.
ArataI...can count on you, right, Player?
ArataWell, regardless, any Digimon and Eaters we meet up ahead will be stronger than anything else you've met before, so be careful.
ArataWhen I went with some Jude guys to take on Under Zero, we had been unstoppable in EDEN up until then.
ArataNobody could beat us. Adults, cops, nobody. We figured Under Zero would be the same way, even with its reputation for being impregnable.
ArataBut we hit a snag when we got to the outer wall... A security Digimon showed up and kicked our asses. It was a complete and utter wash.
ArataBack then, we didn't know anything about Digimon programs at all.
ArataWe were only capable of doing analog hacking, which made us completely powerless to fight back.
ArataAll we could do was grab our asses and run. Some of my buddies, they went crazy from the fear they felt there.
ArataEven the guys that were okay, they saw what they were up against and lost confidence in themselves.
ArataThe whole thing made it vividly clear to us that we were little more than a pack of arrogant brats running wild.
ArataWe let our pride get to us to the point where we bit off more than we could chew. The higher you rise, the farther you fall and all that.
ArataAnd one by one, people quit being hackers... It was the end of the legendary hacker group Jude.
ArataI felt sorry for myself and hated to see it go. It sucked being powerless to stop them from leaving the team.
ArataI also had a constant fear in me I couldn't shake. Just remembering that time was enough to make me tremble with trauma...
ArataI didn't want anyone seeing me like that, though. So I tried to buck up and make it seem I was fine.
Arata...So that's why I see this as revenge.
ArataI'll make that security Digimon's power my own and finally rid myself of this regret...
ArataI'm not the punk ass kid I once was back then.
ArataI'm better than that, better than my past... Now come on, let's go.
ArataHahaha! So you're still standing guard here. Color me happy. It's nice to see you again!
ArataHey, you remember who I am?
Holy Land Guard KnightI don't. Who are you...?
ArataDon't tell me you've forgotten now.
Holy Land Guard KnightIt seems that I have... At the very least, you're not in my memory banks.
ArataHahaha! I knew it! I mean it makes sense, why would you!? You beat us so fast!
ArataBut I remember... Hell, I could never forget you.
Holy Land Guard KnightI don't understand what it is you're speaking of, but any intrusion will not be tolerated.
ArataAh, yes. Of course. This is just how it went the first time, too!
ArataSeriously, this is great! Wouldn't have it any other way. You're perfect just the way you are!
ArataUnlike you, though, I'm a changed man. My legs don't shake and my mind's cleared up now! I've grown up!
ArataI'm here to get vengeance for my friends! I'll kick your ass and march right on through!
ArataI won't lose this time! Not with my friend Player at my side here!
ArataYou know what? I feel...at peace now.
ArataI've probably been a burden to you guys with the Digimon I've kept with me up until now.
ArataBut now that I've got this guy...I think I can go on with you all. I want to see this thing through to the end.
Arata...Haha, don't make me say it. Seriously.
Player...
Arata... Dammit, didn't I tell you before? Quit with the staring already! Jeez!
ArataI think with that, this case is closed now, so... Thanks. I'm...going to stay here a little longer and think, if that's all right with you.
