Part 20: More Kamishiro Plotting; Welcome to the Valhalla Server

We meet up with Nokia who says something about 'training' her recruits and calls us the 'Golden Maniac' or GM for short. Apparently we're well known among her group for a couple of things we've done like infiltrating Kamishiro. So much for our antics being kept secret. WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN TRAINING?!

Yeah... we're forced into a fight...

Luckily it was relatively easy.

Afterwards, WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon (I'm still getting used to this... ) save us by asking Nokia if she explained things to us. NO. OF COURSE SHE DIDN'T.

So that pretty much saves us. But then... Yuugo shows up. Uh oh...

Luckily no fighting occurs. He just chats with Nokia about her group and says that if Nokia gets in his way, he just very well may crush her and her group. How... nice.

But he suggests that there's no reason to and Nokia takes that as an insult for them being 'noobs' and asks if he wants to test their power. STOP BEING A FOOL NOKIA.

Luckily no other fighting occurs. We then meet up with Arata at K-Cafe and Nokia shows up as well thinking Arata there is 'a bonus.' Looks like all the hackers are talking about Yuugo's impassioned speech about attacking the Valhalla server and getting 'Under Zero' back. But Arata seems to think it's just old data on an old server. However... Nokia, and even some of her new teammates, want to participate as well. Nokia seems to think that if they get to 'Under Zero' first it'll bring more publicity to her group and get more members. Possibly prove Yuugo wrong as well. Arata yells about it being a bad idea but Nokia isn't budging on this as always and says she'll go herself if she has to before running off. Arata then realizes he can't allow things to go like they did before and chooses to go after her with us. Probably for the best. This is Nokia after all.

Arata gives us a 'secret passage' URL to the Valhalla server that he apparently 'obtained' with him and his friends as they attacked the Valhalla server before. WAIT WHAT?!

No other information is given on that though. Perhaps we'll find out later? Either way we head off to the Valhalla server but not before getting another malicious scene with Rie Kishibe and Akemi Suedou. About all they talk about is everything 'going according to plan.' Looks like Suedou was the one to decrease Valhalla's security to allow everyone in. WELP. TOTALLY A TRAP THEN. JUST LIKE ARATA THOUGHT IT WAS. SCREW YOU KAMISHIRO.

There's little choice in the matter though. It seems as though Kamishiro wants the hackers at each others' throats. Wonderful. Just wonderful. We're dancing like their puppets at this point.

Though I don't see how this works to Kamishiro's advantage. I suppose we'll find out soon enough. There's still little choice though if we're going to protect Nokia. Perhaps we can stop this 'hacker war' or whatever you want to call it? Though that's a little doubtful as well. *sighs*

Next time:

What lies within the Valhalla server? Who will we be forced to fight against? What does Kamishiro gain from all of this? More questions that will hopefully be answered...

Also... I'm starting to get a lot of Ultimates at this point. Which is probably a good thing. My Champions weren't really cutting it anymore unfortunately.
