Ryusenji Laboratories becomes the world’s leader in Digital World research in a short time after its founding. Although the building has changed, its founders still work tirelessly to achieve their goals.
Saya walks into the office with her usual takeout order and a fresh change of clothes for Kosuke. Yueling gets up from her desk to help her set up for dinner. It had become a ritual between the founders. One that they each cherished in their own way.
“You have to stop coddling him,” Yueling says as she grabs her bowl and takes her seat. “He’s a grown man, and you’re not his mother.”
Saya smiles. “It’s fine, it’s on the way.”
Yueling swallows her mouthful. “I don’t know why you married this bozo, you’re way too good for him.”
Saya rolls her eyes, letting out a playful chuckle. She turns to Kosuke who looks like he’s waking from a trance. “Here’s your soup. Make sure you eat your salad too!” She kisses him before sitting down to her own dinner.
“Yeah yeah, thanks,” he replies. He has deep bags under his eyes. He seems lost in thought.
Ryusenji watches the guests around his table and laughs at the familiar banter. They spend the rest of the dinner talking about their research. They talk about the digital world and newly discovered lifeforms that inhabit it.
“Suppose the proffesor’s hypothesis is correct,” Soya begins, “Suppose these creatures are living AI, what then?”
“If they’re AI life forms, then we could keep them as pets,” Ryusenji chimes in. “Just like that this one,” he says pointing towards a monitor. The monitor is filled with a stream of flowing numbers.
“Its so cute!” Kosuke says, stopping to admire the flow of data.
“You two are the only ones who think so,” Yueling says in an attempt to bring the men back from their trance.
“But just imagine if you could see it all for yourself! Not just the numbers, but the world and the creatures that fill it. Wouldn’t that be amazing?” Saya says dreamily.
“Exactly!” Ryusenji exclaims, shooting a warm smile at his daughter. “We need to be able to see the Digital World if our research is going to scale in any meaningful way.”
“I know that,” Yueling replies, finishing the last of her pork bowl.
“And on that note,” Ryusenji says, clasping his hands together. The table turns their attention to the professor. “I’m starting a business.”
“A business? Like turning this into a company?” Yueling asks.
“I want to see the Digital World with my own eyes, and hear it with my own ears,” the professor continues.
“and the business?” Kosuke interrupts.
“Right. The university has money set aside for incubating businesses. We use that to make Ryusenji Laboratories a publicly traded company. We create some buzz, grab some investors, and we’re on our way to making it all happen.” The professor finishes his proposal with a hopeful smile on his face.
“I’m in,” Yueling says without a moment of hesitation.
“Good, kuz we need you to make the presentation,” the professor answers.
“Are you sure?” Yueling asks, still recovering from the shock of his sudden proposal. “What about my background?” She thinks about her status as a first-generation Japanese. It would be difficult to get public funding as a daughter of immigrants.
“How is any of that a problem?” The professor walks over to Yueling who continues to look more unsure by the second. He places his hand gingerly on her shoulder. “You’re the only one who can do this. I’m counting on you.”
A smile escapes Yueling’s mouth as she fights a sudden flood of happy tears. The doubt she feels fades, and a burst of newfound confidence replaces it. “I won’t let you down!”
“It’s settled then!” the professor exclaims. “Things are about to get busy around here!”
Thank you for your patience and continued support. I hope to catch up with the official release this week. Make sure you always support the original. If you enjoy this project, make sure you like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends!
Yueling zips through the digital world on the back of her dragon Digimon Hisyaryumon. She is dressed in her formal DigiPolice uniform, clearly pressed and finely decorated. Hisyaryumon’s obsidian scales shine as brightly as the ember-colored gem on its forehead.
Hisyaryumon suddenly changes direction, diving towards a group of code crackers. Each controlled a cyborg-type Digimon. They scramble as they see the dragon, but Hisyaryumon is too quick. Hisyaryumon knocks them out with very little effort.
“Code Crackers Contained,” Yueling announces through her radio.
“You’re sharp as ever captain,” Satsuki replies.
“Spare me the flattery and call in processing.”
“On it!”
Satsuki’s Numemon waddles onto the scene. It kicks one of the unconscious Digimon as it begins to secure the criminals.

“What’d we catch, Hisyaryumon?”
“The usual. A bunch of Cyborg-types used for data collection.”
“So it seems,” Yueling replies as she scans Hisyaryumon’s report.
“Looks like they were after state secrets. Judging by their tools, I would guess they were hired by someone overseas. It appears that a few are still in operation. We could send them back with a little souvenir,” Hisyaryumon continues maliciously.
“If your hunch is right, this is above our pay grade.” Yueling continues to read the report. “Why not? I’m feeling playful today. Send them something nasty.”
“As you wish,” Hisyaryumon says cheerily as he gets to work on the restrained Digimon.
Yueling watches from inside the Digicore. Easy days like this made her think of the old days. With nothing to distract her, she gets lost in a memory.
I wonder what Kosuke is up to?
Yueling walks into Ryusenji Laboratories. The air conditioner hums, blowing cool air into the room. The desks are cluttered with papers and books. Large server racks are pushed against one of the walls. The professor sits at his computer, absorbed in the letters moving across his monitor
“Good Morning Professor,” she says cheerily. The clock on the wall reads 6 p.m.
“Good morning,” he says without looking up.
“Got some mail for you,” she says, setting the pile of letters on his desk.
“Mhm,” Ryusenji grunts.
“I delivered your mail! Can you acknowledge me with your words and eyes please? I don’t want you calling me later asking for your mail!”
“There!” Ryuseji announces suddenly, pointing at the screen. “There’s the bug. Who wrote this aweful code?!”
“You probably.”
“No…It couldn’t have…Could it?” The professor becomes distressed by his question looking over the code again.
“Has my proposal for a proper server room been approved? It’s freezing in here.” Yueling puts on a jacket she keeps hanging over a chair.
“Theyre going to move the entire campus over the next few years. They aren’t approving any new projects until everything is settled.”
Yueling shrugs. “I’m just trying to help.”
“I keep telling them how important our work is. I hear investing in our field is quietly exploding around the world. Our advantage could disappear overnight,” Ryusenji grumbles without lifting his eyes.
“Maybe we should pack up and go overseas then.”
“You can’t seriously be suggesting that,” answers a gravelly voice. Kosuke pops his head from his makeshift cot from between the server racks. He wipes the sleep from his eyes as he makes his way over.
“Slept in the office again?” Yueling asks.
Kosuke nods as he runs his hands through his unkempt hair and lets out a big yawn. The scruff on his beard had grown thick, and it was clear he’d been wearing the same clothes for several days.
“At least wash your face and brush your teeth. Did you at least bring a change of clothes?
“About that…”
The door busts open. A petit woman barges through carrying several takeout bags.
“Feeding time!” She begins organizing the spread on the large table they use for meetings.
“Good! I’m starving.” Kosuke answers.
“Here’s your change of clothes,” the woman says, tossing Kosuke a paper bag.
“Saya…Did you go all the way to Kosuke’s house to get him a change of clothes?”
“Yep! I also brought you a pork bowl. I hope you’re hungry,” Saya beams as she hands Yueling her bowl.
Yueling reaches into her pocket “Thanks. Here, how much do I owe..”
“None of that. It’s dad’s…I mean the professor’s treat.”
The four sit and eat their lunch. The room fills with chatter and laughter over the hum of the air conditioning.

The Digital World is vast and full of mystery. Its biggest mystery lies hidden behind its impenetrable firewall. Early Code Crackers swarmed to the Digital World in search of answers to this mystery. Many put their lives on the line in the name of discovery. Somewhere along the wall was the gateway to the other side, and one brave code cracker was destined to find it. After years of exploration, it is widely believed that the Vortices that appeared indiscriminately along the wall were gateways to the other side.
While most Vortives appear randomly over the wall, one takes its permanent residence at the center of the wall slums. Tartarus and his small team find themselves at the edge of this vortex, with the intention of seeing what’s on the other side.
The expedition starts smoothly. The code crackers and their Digimon work in perfect unison as they make their careful descent toward the void. Suddenly, a swarm of Digimon appear above them.
Megadramon rears back and raises his arms, taking careful aim at the oncoming swarm.
ERADICATION ATTACK!
The cannons at the ends of his arm open up with a swarm of missiles, each exploding its target. The attack leaves a hole in the swarm, but the hole quickly fills with more Digimon.
“There’s too many of them, I can’t hold ’em off for long!” Marvin says from within Megadramon.
The guardian Digimon attack like a swarm of Locust. Megadramon continues to fire, holding back the swarm for the time being.
Dorumon stops his trek and floats in place as he watches the swarm. The small-wing fox waves his tail eagerly.
“Time to get to work Dorumon” Tarturus says from within its core. “Initiate phase 3!”
“Right!” Dorumon shines brightly as it Digivolves into a large strange dragon. Large silver leathery wings beat in the air, holding it up.
DoruGreymon, Ultimate, Beast Dragon, Data
Metal Meteor
A massive metal orb begins to form over DoruGreymon’s head, drawing the swarm’s attention. The crystal on DorGreymon’s forehead begins to glow. Strange runes of light appear on the face of the orb. It slowly starts to drop into the vortex. The swarm of Digimon moves to push away the projectile, but the orb continues its descent unmolested.
“Let them try,” Tartarus smirks as he watches the swarm’s vain attempt to stop their attack.
The orb continues to drop, crushing the piles of Digimon until it finally makes contact with the gateway. The orb looks like a tiny pebble against the vast mouth of the vortex. The impact lets out a high-pitched screech.
“Begin decoding! This can still work,” Tartarus commands.
Inside the Digicore, Tartarus starts typing away furiously at his console. A small meter begins to fill across his screen. 20%…25%….
Cracks begin to form on the gateway letting light slip in from the other side. It groans under the growing strain.
“The gateway is breaking!” Tartarus says to himself.
The remaining guardians swarm DoruGreymon in a desperate attempt to stop the attack.
Seeing this, Marvin shouts, “We have to buy them more time, Let’s go!” The group launches a final desperate defense.
The grinding sound goes silent as the orb stops moving. The decoding progress bar stops at 30%.
“What’s happening?” Tartarus barks.
“Process terminated. This is as far as we can get with a single prototype Digimon,” DoruGreymon says cooly.
Tartarus slams his fists on the console. “Dammit. Just like we predicted.” He lets out a heavy sigh.
“The gate requires a tripartite key. We need all three attributes in order to crack it. We need Virus and Vaccine prototype Digimon for this to work.”
“Yueling’s Ryudamon is a Vaccine type, all we need is a virus type…” Tartarus gets lost in thought, staring at the gateway. “Whatever lies beyond the gateway is going to change the world. I don’t know how, but we’re going to change it!”
The metal orb begins to crack, letting the sounds of grinding and bending metal. The symbols on its face fade as the ball breaks into pieces and fades to dust.
“They’re here! The Royal Knights!” DoruGreymon shouts.
“Everyone fall back!” Tartarus shouts. Tartarus and his team flee without hesitation.
“The Royal Knights….” Tartarus mutters to himself as he takes one final glimpse at the gate behind him.
I know these are a bit sporadic at the moment, so I’ve started announcing release dates on my Mastodon if that’s helpful. Once I catch up to the official releases, I’ll go back to a normal schedule. Make sure you always support the official release. If you’ve been enjoying this project, make sure you like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends. Thank you all who have stuck with me this far. It means a lot!
The street lights come on as an ambulance zips through the campus streets. Its sirens echo as the. Flashing red lights bounce off large windows. The few cars out move over as the ambulance flies past. Leon lays unresponsive on the metal gurney. The sensors hooked to his arm indicate a steady heartbeat. His vitals are low but within normal levels. He lays unresponsive as the EMT flashes lights in his eyes. Around him, wires and tubes clank on hollow metal as the ambulance jerks through the city streets. The sirens sound muffled over the hum of the engine and the crackling of the radio.
Professor Ryusenji arrives at the hospital shortly after Leon does. He sits in the waiting room while the doctors run their tests. A couple of hours pass when a doctor finally calls him.
“It’s an odd one. Vitals are normal, there are no signs of trauma or drug use. This isn’t a reaction to any of his medication. We can’t determine the cause of his coma at this time, but we’re running more tests.”
“That’s unfortunate…” Ryusenji says sadly.
“I am sorry.” The doctor says warmly. “You can go see him now if you want. Talk to him. He’ll appreciate that.”
Ryusenji shakes the doctor’s hand and walks into Leon’s room. Leon lays peacefully in bed. Sensors monitor his vitals, and a drip slowly keeps him hydrated. The professor watches over his student for a moment before taking the seat closest to his bed.
He was still in his office when received Eiji’s frantic phone call. Eiji’s erratic explanation left him with many unanswered questions, but there wasn’t time for answers. It was Ryusenji who called the ambulance and let the paramedics into Leon’s apartments. It was Ryusenji who now sat as Leon’s only visitor.
The room was quiet except for the rhythmic chiming of the EKG. The chart at the end of Leon’s bed indicated an unknown cause for Leon’s coma, but Ryusenji knew better. Leon had pushed himself too far in his mindlink. He went over the L line, and now he is DMIA. Nothing was bringing Leon back to consciousness. His mind was lost. Scattered across the Digital world like pieces of junk data.
“Did you ever meet Yueling, Leon?” the professor finally makes out. His voice shakes a bit. He leans back in the chair, watching Leon’s peaceful expression. He would have to tell the police everything, and Leon being American complicated things.
Rysuenji sighs, “This is quite a mess…”He picks up the Digimon Linker that sits on the bedside table and puts it back on Leon’s wrist. “I’m afraid you knew too many lies,” he says softly to Leon.
Ryusenji watches the mounds of Leon’s vitals move across the monitor, and listens to the beeps in silence.
Eiji sits alone in his dark tiny apartment curled up in his bed. He stares blankly into space as a mix of dread and shame creeps into his consciousness.
“He’s not coming back…” Eiji says flatly. He can still see Kazuchimon disappearing into the vortex. No one has ever returned from the void. No one has recovered from DMIA. Eiji left Leon to die.
“It’s all my fault..” Tears well up in his eyes. An ugly truth gets stuck in his throat. “I…I killed Leon…” The truth hits him like a punch in the gut. The room starts to spin. He stumbles off his bed and rushes to the bathroom. His empty stomach aches as he vomits only bile and stomach acid into a dirty toilet. He sits against the wall with a bitter taste in his mouth.
“Your readings are a mess Eiji,” Loogamon chimes in from his perch on the bed. Loogamon’s wounds have healed. It was as if the fight had never happened.
“I can’t do this anymore,” Eiji says weakly. He takes the Digimon Linker off his wrist and looks over it pensively.
“Hey careful with that!” Loogamon barks.
“Code crackers, hackers, mindlinks…digivolutions…none of this matters.” Eiji pauses to stare at the ceiling. “It’s all my fault…I pushed you too hard. I put you in danger, and now Leon is gone!” Eiji lets the Digimon Linker fall into the floor. “This isn’t what I wanted…” his voice trails off.
The linker beeps as its face comes to life with a notification. It’s a text from Tartarus. It reads:
Excellent work. You’re a hero!”
Eiji scoffs. He doesn’t feel like a hero. Guilt begins to choke at Eiji. “It should have been me….” The room starts to spin again. Eiji lurches over to vomit.
“Are you sick or something? What’s causing you to vomit?” Loogamon jumps down from the bed and makes its way to the doorway.
Eiji wipes vomit from the corners of his mouth. “Guilt,” he answers flatly, sitting back against the wall.
“Why?”
“He was my friend Logamon…My best friend and now…Now he’s gone and it’s all my fault.” Tears start falling down his cheeks.
The two sit in silence for a while. Eiji’s quiet sobs echo off the tile.
“Hey Eiji,” Loogamon finally says. “I just remembered something.”
“What?” Eiji asks hoarsely.
“That box Pulsemon gave me, the one we thought was a virus. It was just a present.”
“Really?” Eiji looks up at the wolf.
Loogamon’s expression saddens for a moment. It nods slowly. “He left a note. It said ‘Lets hang out again sometime mutt.’ Stupid fairy…”
Another somber silence washes over them.
“I think I know why I went beserk when I digivoled into Hallogarmon.”
“Why’s that?”
“I wanted to fight Pulsemon so badly. I wanted to be better than them. I didn’t want them to look down on me anymore. So when I digivolved and went feral, it was because you didn’t feel the same way.”
Eiji sits in silence and stares at the wolf. Leon’s voice rings in his head. The memory of his guilt sends his head into the toilet. Eiji sits back. This time he can’t hold his tears back. He cries hard into his arm.
“Do you want to save your friend Eiji?”
“Of course I do! It’s my fault!” Eiji yells, looking up.
“I want to save Pulsemon too,” Loogamon says solemnly. “We’ll save them Eiji. Even if it means facing down an army Royal Knights!”
I know I am a little behind on releases. Work has been hectic, and I haven’t had much time to work on these. Thank you for your patience and continued support. I’ll do my best to catch up! I think I’ll start posting updates on Mastodon if that’s an easier way to stay updated, but let me know if there are better options. Make sure you always support the official release, and don’t forget to like, comment, subscribe, and share these with your friends!

Onminomon floats over the two Digimon. Its armor glows from the energy gathering at the tip of the cannon. Omnimon aims it at Helloogarmon, who continues to wriggle in pain. The metallic wolf at the end of the cannon glistens preciously as arcs of energy spill out of its mouth. Omnimon releases the beam. It comes crashing down, engulfing Helloogarmon in a blinding white spotlight of frozen energy before vanishing in the same instant.
Hellogarmon lays motionless, its body and flames left frozen by the blast. Inside the Digicore, Eiji writhes in agony. He vaguely remembers the ice beam washing over them as he slowly loses consciousness. His body burns with unbearable pain. He feels his life slowly fading as he desperately tries to hold onto consciousness.
Eiji’s vision blurs and darkens, but he can still make out the outline of the holy knight as it moves towards them. He struggles to concentrate, but he can make out the menacing blade thirsting for their lives. In his struggle with consciousness, Eiji can make out his own name written in the strange runes that decorate the face of the blade.
“Delete all!” Omnimon’s words fall onto Eiji with a soothing calm. As Omnimon readies for his final blow, Eiji becomes at peace with death. Eiji welcomes the darkness.
CRACK
Omnimon stumbles from a blow to its back.
“Loogamon!” an unseen voice shouts.
Pulsemon?…the familiar voice pulls Eiji back from the darkness. His vision clears as he watches Kazuchimon crash into Omnimon, sending both Digimon flying.
The force of the vortex picks up the flying Digimon and pulls it towards its center. Omnimon struggles to pry Kazuchimon off, but Kazuchimon holds on tightly. Omnimon brings down heavy blows that leave Kazuchimon bruised and bloodied, but Kazuchimon remains unfazed. The vortex continues to pull them closer and closer to its pit.
“Eiji” Leon’s voice crackles from the distance. His voice is barely audible.
“Let go Leon…You have to let go. The vortex is sucking you up!” Eiji shouts back helplessly.
“This…Knight…the last…” Leon’s message comes in gargled with static.
Eiji tries to move but finds himself frozen in the darkness. His body still aches from the bast. His eyes swell with tears, “LEON!!” Eiji watches as his friend is pulled farther and farther away.
“I’m sorry Eiji. I don’t know if you can still hear me. This whole thing is fucked. I tried to save you…I just didn’t know what else to…” his message cuts off. Eiji sits in the silent darkness of the Digicore.
With one sharp elbow, Omnimon frees itself from Kazhuchimon’s grip and turns its attention to Eiji.
Shido Ittetsu!
Before Omnimon can make its escape, an electromagnetic barrier forms around the two Digimon.
“You aren’t getting away!” Leon shouts. Around him, alarms blare loudly as Leon uses the last of his mindlink energy to seal Omnimon. Kazuchimon grapples Omnimon. Omnimon struggles as its limbs become locked in the hold. It turns its head to glare at Kazuchimon. Leon stares back at the angry eyes. “For as long as I’ve got left, you’re not going anywhere.”
Eiji continues to watch as Kazuchimon and Omnimon inch closer to the core.
“They’re nearly through…” Eiji says to himself.
Suddenly, the Digicore around him springs to life. Monitors start to fill with data and status updates. Eiji’s commands begin to register. He fights through the pain and begins typing furiously.
Helloogarmon rises slowly. It shakes off the last bits of frost. Its few lingering flames go out, leaving a charged werewolf skeleton. Hellogarmon splashes through black dirty puddles as it stumbles to its feet. It begins to glow and shrink as it turns back into Loogamon. It takes another step before falling back to the ground.
“Loogamon!” Eiji shouts excitedly, as he appears suddenly next to his fallen friend. He kneels beside Loogamon, “Hang in there buddy.”
“…Eiji…What’s…going on?” Loogamon makes out weakly.
“I’ll tell you later.” Eiji lets out a sigh of relief, forgetting for a moment about the danger around him. But reality hits him suddenly. Eiji looks toward his disappearing friend and shouts, “Leon! Get out of there! You win Leon, I’ll quit! Just get out of there!” The whirl of the vortex drowns out his words.
Eiji watches as Kazuchimon and Omnimon disappear into the Vortex. A moment later, it disappears. The sky fills with an eerie peacefulness. Around him, the world goes silent. Eiji begins tending Loogamon’s wounds. Tears fall down his cheek as the realization hits him. There was nothing more he could do.
I know my posts are still irregular, but I am getting close to catching up to the book. Once I catch up, I will be back to a set posting schedule. Make sure you support the official release. Thanks again for supporting my translation! If you’ve been enjoying them, don’t forget to like, comment, subscribe, and share this with your friends.
When the soft glow of Digivolution fades, Eiji finds himself in a silent and dark Digicore. Something isn’t right.
“What’s going on?” Eiji’s voice echoes. There is no response.
A strange black creature stands where Loogarmon did. A werewolf of pitch black bone and eyes full of blinding rage. Besides it falls two long arms ending in long sharp claws. Large spikes run down its back in rows of two. A long skeletal tail slams into the earth behind it.
It stands on its hind legs and lets out a roar. Its body bursts into flames as it comes down on all fours. It thrashes and wriggles violently as its claws dig furiously into the earth, propelling it towards Kazuchimon. It closes the distance before Kazuchimon has a chance to react. The creature lunges at Kazuchimon, claws and fangs digging deep into the flesh. Kazuchimon drops its blades as he tries to grab onto the creature and push it away. Pain shoots through its body fangs dig deeper into its neck.
What’s going on? Eiji watches the attack from within the Digicore, but he can’t sense his partner. He tries to connect like he’s done many times before, but there is no response. “Loogamon?” Eiji asks desperately as he types furiously at the control console. But Eiji is locked out. He has no control.
The beast lets out a blood-curdling roar. He bangs his fists at the monitor. The creature’s stats read, “Ulitame. Deamon Beast. Virus…)” But there is no name.
Eiji stares at the stats. “We did it…Loogamon made it to Ultimate…” His words felt empty. The words on the screen are meaningless. This creature isn’t Loogamon. Nothing about this felt right.
Eiji’s hands fall to his side as he becomes overcome with hopelessness. He watches as the beast tears into Kazuchimon. He listens to the creature’s hungry rage.
“Your Digivolution failed! It’s out of control!” Leon shouts.
The familiar voice snaps Eiji from his trance. “Out of control?…. Failed?….”
“Eiji can you hear me? You’ve lost control….Dammit!” Leon’s voice barely carries over the beast’s commotion. “You weren’t ready. Look at what you did!” Leon’s voice is angry.
Eiji watches helplessly from within the Digicore.

Helloogarmon. Eiji reads the name as it appears on his monitor. This is my fault…
Eiji wanted to win. He wanted to be strong. He wanted to prove to everyone he was strong, but not like this. Helloogarmon continues to tear into Kazuchimon.
“LOOGAMON!” Eiji yells “I know you’re in there. Come back buddy. Please come back.”
Leon reads over the data.
“Helloogarmon?” There is nothing controlling thebeast but its rage. It would spread and destroy everything in its path like a virus. “I don’t understand how an Ultimate level Digimon can be this strong…” An alarm goes off. “Dammit. Time’s up…” Leon looks down at the flashing monitor. The levels were getting dangerously close to the C Line. He couldn’t stay mindlinked any longer.
“You’re probably running out of time too, huh?” Eiji’s voice comes over the come. “I knew you wouldn’t be able to keep Kazuchimon up for long. The plan was to make you waste all your energy before…Loogarmon went beserk…”
“Eiji..”
“This is all my fault. I’m sorry.”
“You have to focus! This thing is still your partner. You have to focus to stop it from rampaging.”
“I’m trying, but it’s not…” The sounds of error messages cut him off. “I can’t hear Loogamon’s voice…”
Kazuchimon struggles to keep Heelogarmon back. Its strength was beginning to give and the pain was becoming too much to bear.
“You have to get out of here Leon. You can’t stay here. You’re running out of time!” It was clear from Eiji’s tone that he had given up.
“I’m not leaving until you swear to quick code cracking! I’m going to save you. Whatever it takes!”
“Leon…” Why is he so determined? Why is he still here?
The two had grown apart, there was no reason for Leon to still be here.
“Why can’t you let it go?”
Leon goes quiet for a moment before finally answering, “Flight 626…”
“What?”
A high speech squeal cuts them off. Kazuchimon is finally able to get a hold of Hellogarmon before flipping it into the electric barrier. A pulse of energy courses through Hellogarmon as it makes contact with the wall. Helloogarmon falls to the ground. Its flames extinguish leaving a blackened wolf flinging and writhing in pain.
Eiji almost blacks out from the pain of the impact. His fingers fire away furiously at the console. “Come on Loogamon. I know you’re in here…”
Helloogarmon continues to writhe in pain. Kazuchimon stands over it, tending to its own wounds. Blood pours from the bites and scratches that run over its body.
“Flight 626 fell because of a Machinedramon.”
“I know..”
“I didn’t pay attention to the passenger manifest…Eiji, I’m sorry..”
“You’re not making any sense Leon.”
Leon takes a deep breath. “There was a huge fight on the network while the flight was in the air. The U.S. Army’s counterterrorism unit was working on stopping the attack but…I couldn’t do it Eiji I wasn’t strong enough…I’m sorry…” Leon’s voice breaks as he grows silent. “I couldn’t save those people…I couldn’t save your parents.”
“But why…Why are you apologizing?”
“Because…You’re my best friend.”
A mournful silence falls over the two friends. Eiji continues to type furiously. “You didn’t kill those people Leon, that dictator did.”
‘But it was my responsibility. I was supposed to stop them…If I don’t stop you from being a code cracker, you cou…”
“Stop lumping all of us together. I’d never do that!”
“You’ve already helped the Sons of Chaos attack Nation X, and look what you did to Loogamon. As a hacker…I have to stop you, even if you are my friend.” Kazuchimon razes its lightning blades over its head. “I’ve got enough time for one more attack. I’m taking you back Eiji…”
A loud boom breaks Kazuchimon’s concentration. The barrier around them shatters and fades. “Dammit, did already reach the limit?”
A loud metallic howling noise fills the junkyard. A large hole rips at the top of the barrier revealing a massive black hole in the sky. Wind blows chunks of debris and junk data toward the hole. From the center, a figure appears.
Mega. Holly Knight. Vaccine. Omnimon
A large shining knight steps out of the vortex and turns its attention down at them. Its armor glistens, even in the dim light. A cap flows neatly behind it. Its right arm is a powerful-looking cannon, a sword falls from its left. Strange runes light up the face of the sword. Its voice carries over the chaos, “Delete all!”

It also has one of the best sound tracks you will ever get to sit through. If you are looking for a fun and relaxing puzzle adventure game, you need Planet of Lana. Make sure you check out my full review. You can pick up Planet of Lana on Steam or Xbox for $19.99, or free if you have Game Pass.
The Second Wavebeta is just a week away, and I can’t wait to jump back in. I first tried Second Wave at GDC and got to play in the Alpha earlier this year. I loved this game so much that I am still following it closely, counting the days till I can log back into Armantia!
Second Wave is a free-to-play shooter coming to Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, IOS and Android Devices, and PC via Steam and STOVE. A release date hasn’t been announced, but I will keep you posted. The game will be cross-platform between consoles and PC, but mobile devices will have to play with each other to keep things fair. The game allows gamers to play as unique heroes as they fight in epic team battles over Armantia. I love the art and character design, but it might be a little heavy on the anime side for some folks. Art style shouldn’t matter when the game is this fun. Finally, Second Wave promises not to be pay-to-win. All monetization will exist within a cosmetic-only cash shop or battle pass. It’s not clear how they will handle hero unlocks, but I hope it’s not as predatory as Overwatch 2.
The beta will run from October 6th to the 6th for Steam, Stove, and Xbox insider members only. This will be an open Beta. All you need to do is download the game during the beta period and play till your heart’s content. No announcements have been made about signing up through Xbox Insider yet. I recommend you join the official discord to stay up to date on all the updates.
As we gear up for the open beta, we got a few new characters teased as well as some lore for Ess’el. We have more lore on the way, but I just couldn’t wait another day for this update. If you’ve been enjoying these updates, make sure you like, comment, subscribe, and share this with your friends.
Ess’el’s Backstory
Ess’el was the first hero I played as, and was the reason I fell in love with the game. Funnily enough, it was also the first choice for the two girls I played against. I don’t think I’ll main here because I love the support role too much, but she will always have a special place in my heart. Her back story just dropped, and it is as edgy and cool as you would have expected! She is a fun melee character that I am sure will see a lot of play.
Aegis
Here is a character we’ve seen briefly before. I love the dark and light motif. This is on the list of characters I am going to try to main. She will be playable in the open beta. The rest of the reveals will follow without much description because we only got the name drop so far.
I know these have been random as I try to catch up the the novel. I’ll be sure to be back on a set schedule once I do. Thanks again for your support! I put a lot into these translations, so I hope you’ve been enjoying it so far. Make sure you support the original story and leave me some love if you can. Don’t forget to share this with your friends!
Pulsemon zips through the sea of data, blurring through it in flashes of bright yellow light. Bellow him sit mounds of junked data stacked in messy, unorganized heaps reminiscent of a landfill. Occasionally, Pulsemon summons a small hologram map with marked-off coordinates.
“It’s somewhere around here,” Pulsemon says as it compares the map with their surroundings. They had ventured out of the Walled Slums into an area past the Rusted Coast. They were looking for a hole in the firewall that separated the human world from the Digital world. Somewhere over these heaps of rotting wreckage was a vortex that could be a doorway to the other side.
“I’m not picking up any more readings,” Pulsemon says as it continues its flight.
“Let’s head down there,” Leon says from his place in the mindlink. Pulsemon lowers itself toward the ground. Around it, pieces of the environment glitch, blurring or continually blinking in and out of existence.
Leon looks around at the empty baron wasteland. “So this is just a floating island of garbage.”
Leon looks out into the horizon towards the firewall. It appeared like a massive moon or planet as it towered over the highest peaks of garbage. Its scale is breathtaking, but the secrets it held within would be more. What lay beyond the firewall? A planet? A galaxy. Humanity has only achieved blurry glimpses beneath the veil, and here Leon stood at the precipice.
“You sure it’s not a bad tip?” Pulsemon interrupts. “This doesn’t look like a place Tartarus would hang out in.”
Leon wakes from his trance. “No, it’s a solid lead.”
“I don’t know…” Pulsemon’s words are shrouded in worry. “This feels like a trap. The Sons of Chaos are still pretty pissed about the whole Machinedramon thing.”
“You can handle a few Sons of Chaos goons, can’t you?”
“It just looks dangerous is all…” Pulsemon’s voice trails off.
“Just stay sharp Pulsemon.” An uneasy silence falls over them as they look over the landscape.
HOWLING FIRE
A fireball tears through the air. It’s heat searching for an unsuspecting target, but Pulsemon is quick to react. The fireball narrowly misses as it flips out of the way. The fire ball lands with an explosion, leaving behind a crater of burning data.
“That was close,” Pulsemon chips as he lands into his battle stance.
“Hey Pulsemon,” Loogamon says as it steps into view. Small embers lick around its maw as it gives a hungry smile.
“Eiji?” Leon lets out. There is a bit of shock in his tone before he forces composure. “So you’re one of leaders now?”
“Nope, just a rookie.”
“Sure you are…” Leon can’t hide the disappointment that clings to his words.
Minor Impulse
Pulsemon begins to glow a bright yellow as a bolt of lightning jumps from its body and lands with a crash as Loogamon leaps out of the way.
“That was almost impressive,” Pulsemon taunts.
“I wasn’t even trying.” Loogamon gives a mocking grin.
“Whatever you say mutt.”
“Bring it on Sparkles.”
The two Digimon stare each other down.
“I guess I shouldn’t be surprised a code cracker is a criminal.”
“I was happy to see you Leon. It was nice catching up, but this is business. You messed up, now you have to deal with the consequences.”
“So you here to collect our bounty?”
“In a way, it depends on how our talk goes.”
“Get to the point Eiji.”
“If you promise not to interfere with the Sons of Chaos, we’ll let the… incident with the Machinedramon go.”
“You know I can’t do that.”
“I knew it wouldn’t be that easy, but it was worth a shot.”
“Look, if you need money, I can help you. You don’t have to do this.”
“I am not your charity case,” Eiji barks.
“But I can help you…”
“I choose how I want to live my life. You come to me after all these years and expect me to betray my ideals… for money?”
“Ideals? I thought you became a code cracker because you needed money.”
“You don’t get it,” Eiji’s voice trembles with anger and frustration. “Why don’t you go back to your cushy life and focus on school and leave me to mine.”
Leon knew there was no getting through to Eiji. He is a code cracker now, and it was Leon’s duty to hunt them down. Leon gives out a sad sigh as he appears as a hologram next to Pulsemon.
“The professor is using you Eiji. I’ve seen too many code cracker pass through the professors doors. He uses them up and tosses them like the garbage around us. And, you’re no different than them…”
“What did you say?!”
Pulsemon vanishes.
Electric Rush!
Pulsemon appears above Loogamon and comes crashing down in a bolt of lightning. Loogamon barely jumps out of the way, only feeling the heat of Pulsemon’s electricity as it brushed past.
Loogamon lands on a wobbling piece of floating debris.
“Stay away from the professor!” Leon shouts. “He doesn’t need any more worthless code crackers.”
“So this is what it’s all about? That’s how you really feel? You just don’t want anyone else getting close to your precious professor.”
The two old friends stood on opposite ends. They weren’t the same kids they were back then. Time had torn them apart, and both had a job to do.
“You really want to lose to me so badly? Fine! Pulsemon, let’s get serious.”
“Right!”
Pulsemon glows as its silhouette grows. When the light fades, Boutmon stands where Pulsemon did. It cracks its knuckles and smiles as bolts of static run down its body.
Boutmon rushes Loogamon, letting out a series of electric punches and kicks. Loogamon is able to dodge them as its fur begins to stand, charged with static. One of the kicks crashes through the piece of debris holding them up, breaking it to pieces.
Loogamon lands, kicking up dust and dirt. Its gaze fixed on Boutmon.
“Loogamon, it’s our turn!”
“I thought you’d never ask.” Loogamon lets out an earth shaking howl as it digivolves into Loogarmon.
Its massive crimson claws dig into the earth as its body tenses. Flames lick from its iron muzzle. The large feathers down his arms and neck shake in the breeze.
The two champion Digimon stare each other down intensely.
“That’s a cute champion form, but it’s going to take more than that Eiji!” Leon taunts.
“Just like we practiced Loogarmon!”
“Hey sparkles, I don’t want to hear any crying when I beat you.” The fur down its back begins to stand as flames build inside its maw.
Howling Burner!
Loogarmon whips the flames around to form a large wall of fire. Loogarmon disappears behind the smoke and flames.
“Cute trick!” Boutmon shouts.
Lightning Heel
Boutmons leg builds with electrical energy as it raises its leg over its head. It lets down a sweeping explosive kick through the flames. The flames continue to burn, but for a brief moment, the flames part to reveal Loogarmon and its sinister smile.
“This is my domain!” Loogarmon growls.
Flame Blow
Before Boutmon has a chance to react, Loogarmon becomes covered in flames and lunges towards them.
Fire Breath
Before the wolf can connect, flames fall onto Boutmon from three different directions.
“How?!?” Leon shouts as he searches for the source. Smoke and flames rise from Boutmon’s body. It staggers for a moment before falling to a defensive position. Three Tyrannomon step from the shadows and stares down from their place on top three separate peaks.
“What a dirty trick!” Leon grumbles.
“You didn’t pick up on them Boutmon?” Loogarmon taunts.
There was too much interference from the junk data around them. “They know Leon. This was a trap…” Boutmon’s voice trails off.
Leon scrambles to think of a plan. “So you have to cheat to beat me?”
“I’ll beat you Leon, even if it takes every dirty trick in the book.”
The Tyrannomon retreat out of site. The two champion Digimon continue to stare each other down. Boutmon takes a breath as he changes his stance. Electricity starts to build in his palms. Loogarmon readies a Howling Burner as it watches Boutmon closely.
Buden Blast
Both Digimon release their stored energy. It creates a massive explosive on impact, blowing chunks of junk data and debris flying in every direction. The explosion releases a shockwave. Loogarmon jumps to dodge the impact, but Boutmoun appears below them.
Storm of Blows
Boutmon unleashes a flurry of punches and kicks, each landing hard on the unsuspecting wolf.
The Tyrannomon reappear, letting out torrents of flame that engulf Boutmon, giving Eiji and Loogarmon enough of a distraction to create distance between them.
“Dammit!” Leon lets out as Boutmon lands, its body still searing from the flames.
“Calm down Leon. Look. We’re wearing them down.” Leon looks over at Loogarmon. Its feathers are ruffled and matter. The large Digimon pants heavily.
“Alright, but it’s a little crowded. Let’s make some room Boutmon. Digivolve!”
“Understood.”
A massive bolt of lightning comes crashing down over Boutmon. The force of the impact explodes burning debris in every direction. Kazuchimon stands letting out a terrifying roar.
“The Tyrannomon are scared Eiji, call them back.” Eiji gathers the Tyrannomon back into the dock.
“Alright Loogarmon, be ready for anything.”
Kazuchimon takes a step forward. Its electric blade still points to the ground.
“You’re too week Eiji. You should have quit when I asked you. Kazuchimon!”
Shido Ittetsu
Kazuchimon lifts its hand. It begins to glow as storm clouds begin to gather overhead.
“What the?” Eiji exclaims as he watches the sky. Lightning builds, forming an unnatural cage around them.
“It’s a digital barrier. They’re trying to trap us!” Loogarmon shouts. It leaps as it tries to escape, but it’s too late. An electromagnetic barrier comes crashing down, cutting off their escape.
Kazuchimon slices at debris as it closes in on Loogarmon.
Loogarmon uses its tail to throw a piece of debris at the barrier. It vaporizes on impact. “It’s no use, we’re trapped.”
“Don’t worry, we got this,” Eiji says in an attempt to stay positive.
Kazuchimon stands over them. It looks down at them grimly. They can feel the heat from the blade. Before Loogarmon has a chance to react, the blade slices through its body, leaving behind a searing pain. Eiji loses focus as the pain becomes too unbearable.
“I made a mistake,” Leon says.
“What?” Eiji manages through the pain.
“I shouldn’t have offered you money. I shouldn’t have offered you a way out. I should have knocked some sense into you from the beginning. Give up Eiji, it’s over.”
“No! I…”
“You can’t win Eiji.”
Kazuchimon crosses his blades as energy begins to build between them. Eiji could feel the heat building as he stares down the familiar attack.
Eiji is overcome with desperation. The pain makes it difficult to think straight. “I can’t lose.” Eiji thinks about the professor. About all the times Eiji made him proud. “I have to do better. I want to do something meaningful with my life.” Eiji thinks about his time with Loogamon. “I have to win….We have to win…”
Shinden Shouraiko
The light from the twin blades becomes blinding. They burst with energy. A familiar sensation builds up within Eiji. He feels large amounts of power begin coursing through Loogarmon.
Make sure you always support the original, but I appreciate your continued support on my translations. They take a bit of work, but I’ll do my best to catch up with the novel as soon as possible. If you like these translations, make sure you like, comment, subscribe, and share this with your friends.
Eiji finds the professor behind his desk. He is busy working on his lunch when the pair walk in. “Sorry. I’m running a bit behind” he manages to say between bites. He continues to scroll through the report on the screen in front of him.
“Oh, no worries. I can come back some other time.” Eiji understood that the professor was a busy man with important work.
“No no, I’m meeting with a student later. It has to be now.” He finishes off the last bite of his sandwich as he stands to greet the pair properly. “What news do you have for me?”
“Uh, well everything is in the report.”
The professor nods. “So they were after the Machinedramon, and they failed to get their hands on it.” The professor clasps his hands, “Not bad for your first night out.”
“But there’s more.” Eiji adds. “I think Tartarus is collecing Mega level Digimon. I don’ t know why, but it can’t be for anything good.”
“Yes, that’s a serious problem.”
“There was also this hacker…” Eiji watches the professor for a reaction.
“Hacker?”
“Yeah, he had a Mega Digimon. It took out the Machinedramon and one of the SOC leaders with little effort.”
“Next time, they won’t get away,” Loogamon growls. The hair down his back begins to stand.
The professor lets out a laugh. “You’ll need to be a Mega yourself if you want to stand a chance.”
“Mega form?” Loogamon’s ears perk up, and its tail wags excitedly behind him.
“What would Loogamon’s Mega even look like?”
The professor shrugs, “Who knows, but it’s going to be exciting!” The professor can’t hide his smile as he continues to theorize all the possible Digivolutions.
Loogamon’s fang glistens into a smile. “You have to get me to my Mega Eiji!”
“I got you!” Eiji says, returning a reassuring smile to his partner.
“It’s a shame about the Machinedramon,” the professor interrupts. “I would have loved to study it, even if it meant sifting through the scraps.”
“That hacker got in my way…” Eiji studies the professor for a reaction. But the professor doesn’t react.
“Hmmm.” The professor seems to study Eiji for the same.
“I know who the hacker is…”
“I know. The hacker is a former student of mine. Leon Alexander.” The professor says as he turns the monitor towards Eiji and Loogamon, showing them a picture of Kazuchimon.
Eiji lets out a sigh of relief. “Good. I didn’t want to be the one to tell you.”
“It’s all fine.”
“I’m not going to get fired am I?”
“Why would you be?”
“Well, I was just talking to Leon and he doesn’t think highly of my being a code cracker.” Eiji can’t shake the worry from his words.
Ryusenji smiles. “Whatever Leon thinks about this has no bearings on my judgement of you, and it never will.” He places his hand on Eiji’s shoulder. “I chose you for a reason Eiji. I run this place, not Leon.”
Eiji lets out a sigh of relief. “Good, kuz I love this job.”
“Now putting all that aside, I hear you’re the only one he showed Pulsemon to all those years ago. All of this seems sort of…fated.”
“Huh, it kind of does. But um…” Eiji struggles to find the words. “He also said he didn’t like me coming in and out of here. He said it might ruin your reputation working with a… code cracker.”
“Well Leon can be…a little too serious at times. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a wonderful quality, but I wouldn’t put too much mind to him. You’re meant to be here Eiji. Don’t worry.”
“I didn’t say anything about you hiring me to look into the Sons of Chaos, but I’m sure he’s got his suspicions.”
“Hmm,” The professor goes silent.
“So, um..”
“Ah! So you’re worried about how to handle Leon, him being an old friend and all.”
“Well no, it’s not about fighting him. I’m just worried he’ll leak that I am spying on the Son’s of Chaos.”
“I’ll think about how to handle Leon, you just…” the phone rings and cuts off the professor. His next appointment has arrived.
Eiji excuses himself as he returns Loogamon to his Digimon Linker. Before Eiji can walk out of the office, Eiji freezes and turns to the professor. “I forgot to tell you, I talked with Tartarus!”
The professor pushes the bridge of his glasses to his nose, “And is he well?”
“I only heard his voice over chat, but I know he’s looking for a Black Agumon.”
A woman appears at the doorway and knocks gently. The professor motions her to come in. A shiver runs down Eiji’s spine as he recognizes the woman. He ducks his head and hurries out the door.
“Thank you professor,” She says as Eiji rushes past her. She doesn’t pay much attention to him.

Eiji walks through the security checkpoint and sees Hatsune behind reception. He makes his way through the lobby, “I thought you had some errands to run?”
“Are you free tonight? Let’s go grab a drink!” Loogamon adds, its voice rings from the Digimon Linker. Hatsune lets out a laugh.
“Shhhh, you’re not supposed to talk outside the checkpoint, remember?!” Eiji says he covers the watch face. His ears turn a bright red. A few people waiting in the lobby turn to look at him.
“Did Loogamon just ask me out?”
“I’m just saying what Eiji is thinking,” Loogamon says smugly.
“Shut up,” Eiji snaps as he mutes the Digimon Linker. “Anyways, um…That woman who just came to see the professor. She’s with the police isn’t she?”
“Yeah,” Hatsune says, lowering her voice. “She’s from the Digipolice.”
“I knew it…”
The professor has a lot of influence with the police, so she comes around every so often.”
“Do you know her name?”
“Shuu Yulin. Why? Are you into older women or something?”
Eiji hands the pass back to Hatsune. “So, about that drink?”
Hatsune looks over Eiji for a moment and smiles. “Sure, why not? You seem harmless enough, plus I have something I want to discuss with you. Here’s my Grimm handle.
Eiji’s phone dings as he reads the Hatsune’s name in disbelief. His heart pounds in his chest. “What do you need to talk about?” His voice shakes with nervous excitement.
“I’ll message you later. It’s something I can’t talk to anyone else about.”
Eiiji wakes to the sounds of his neighbors talking next door. He groans as he checks the time. “Loogamon, do I have any messages?”
“Check them yourself,” Loogamon snaps.
“Fine,” Eiji says as he lazily reaches for his phone nearby. He begins scrolling through his messages slowly. Eiji sits up from his place on the floor when he sees Hatsune’s name. “Why didn’t you wake me when I got this?”
“I’m not your secretary.”
Eiji opens the message and begins reading eagerly. “I think my boyfriend is cheating on me. I was wondering if you could do a bit of… code cracking on his account for me…”
Eiji stops reading. His heart sinks. “Of course, she has a boyfriend.”
“Sounds like Hatsune trusts you at least,” Loogamon chimes in.
“You think so?”
“Well if he is cheating, they’ll break up, right? Then she’s single.”
“I can’t believe I am taking dating advice from a Digimon…”
“Oh, you got a private message on the Sons of Chaos channel. It’s marked important.”
“What’s it say?” Eiji asks, trying to forget his disapointment.
“It’s from the Leader Tartar sauce.” Loogamon laughs.
Eiji pulls up the message and reads, “Eiji, Your performance during the attack on Nation X’s server was exemplary. Marvin and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We request your services for another mission. “
“Wow, a personal request from Tartarus already?”
Eiji continues to read, “We need you to help us get back at the Hacker Judge. We can’t let his transgressions against the Sons of Chaos go unpunished.”
Leon falls silent. This would be the ultimate test of loyalty. This would be the fastest way to earn Tartarus’ trust, but would be able to defeat Leon?
“So you’re gunna fight him?” Loogamon asks.
“Yeah, I am.”
“Isn’t he your friend?”
“Yeah…” Eiji’s voice trails off. “This is going to be a hard one.” Eiji grows silent.
“So what’s the plan?” Loogamon asks finally.
“We can’t beat Leon and Kazuchimon in our current state. We have to figure out a way to Digivolve.”
“I’ll never say no to getting stronger!” Loogamon perks up from his place on Eiji’s bed.
Eiji lays back and stares at the ceiling as he begins formulating a plan. “Get ready Leon, we’re coming for you!”
