We all wear Masks
Tina, Hackmon, and Terriermon ran behind a palm tree within the desert sector. It had a small ditch behind it, allowing the trio to hide, if only a little from Omegamon, who had been chasing them for days now.
Tina; (pant) (pant) This guy won't give up...
Hackmon: Unstable and obsessed.
Terriermon: Perhaps if we bring out the Vaccine data within him, we can find a way to escape...
Tina: How do we do that?
Terriermon: Good question.
???: Gya, you three.
Shocked to hear a voice, they turn around to find the professors twin standing behind them.
Tina: Shhh! Get down before he sees you.
Terriermon: What are you doing here?
Agumon: Where evil lurks... I follow.
Walking past the trio, Agumon approched Omegamon. The trio looking baffled. Taking noticed of the small Rookie, Omegamon points his blade.
OZ'D; I have no use for you...
Agumon: You are corrupted. You live a fate worse than deletion.
Agumon: So don't struggle as I put you out of your misery!
(SWOOOSH)
(CLANG)
OZ'D: Tch! This power.... You're not who I believe you are!
Agumon: I am Victory incarnate!
Terriermon: Now's our chance!
Tina: Can we leave him, just like that?
Terriermon: Hey, there's no greater sacrifice like someone else's!
Hackmon: He seems to be able to handle himself. Let's not get in his way.
The trio leave Omegamon and Agumon to battle it out. As they escape, Tina spots a pyramid, just like Alt said there would be.
Tina: There! Into that pyramid!
Hackmon: The one Alt mentioned? It has to be a trap!
Tina: Our options are limited! Let's brute force our way through any trap. We've done too much running!
Terriermon: I'm with her... I'm so sick of running!
Hackmon: You've done nothing but ride on my back!
Terriermon: Yeah... And I'm tired of that! You're bumpy and sharp!
Hackmon: Grrr, very well...
(Opening Theme)
Escaping into the pyramid, the trio discovered it to be mostly hollow. Tina was in fact shocked at what was inside.
Tina:....
Tina: Why is there a NASA rocket ship here!?
An exact copy of the Apllo 11 rocket was docked inside this pyramid.
Terriermon: What? Your pyramids don't have rockets?
Tina: No!
Tina: I wish they did...
Terriermon: Let's go see if that control tower over there has a mini fridge. I want snacks!
Tina: I want a good meal.
Hackmon: I want to leave. Something isn't right about this place...
With a tower similar to that of an air control tower present within the pyramid and connected to the rocket, the trio walked over to it. Hackmon was highly on guard, for only he could sense the darkness in the area. Climbing the stairs to the top of the tower, Tina felt at ease with all the computers there.
She quickly ran up to the computers and went through the data they contained. Terriermon found his desired mini fridge and went to loot it.
Hackmon: We should not linger.
Tina: That Alt guy has tried to kill us twice. I wanna know what's his goal.
Tina:(smirks) I've already found files on sone kind of "Project X" and "The Dark Web".
Terriermon:(chokes)!!?
Terriermon:(coughs) Stop!
Tina: Don't talk with your mouth full.
Terriermon:(gulp)
Terriermon: Stop now!
(WACK)
Leaping up to Tina, Terriermon wacked her with his long ears.
Tina: Ow!? What was that for!?
Terriermon: The Dark Web is not something you can simply study!
Terriermon: Simply knowing the knowledge of the Dark Web can corrupt!
Terriermon: Hackmon, you were right! We should leave and destroy this place!
Tina: What!? You're over reacting!
Terriermon: I'm not! The Dark Web is the reason Omegamon is the way they are now!
Tina: You seem to know a lot about the dark web... How come you aren't corrupted then?
Terriermon:.... I am...
Hackmon:(glares) What do you mean by that?
Terriermon:....
Terriermon:(sigh)
Leaping onto a chair, Terriermon sits on the edge, looking down at the floor.
Terriermon: I guess hiding it forever isn't viable... This information won't do you two any good... But if you must know...
Terriermon: I am Omegamon.
Tina/Hackmon: What!?
Terriermon: Half the data that comprises Omegamon was once mine and the professors.
Terriermon: We split from Omegamon during a crises that required to absorb the Black Web Data to save the Digital world...
Terriermon: What remained of Omegamon was sealed away.
Terriermon: I myself lost the ability to Digivolve because of the incident.
Tina: That's why it wants you? To become whole?
Terriermon: Whatever hole the professor and I left has already been filled with darkness.
Terriermon: I know the power of the dark web from first hand experience with it!
Terriermon: I've lost friends because of it.
Terriermon: So leave it alone, Tina. Use those special eyes and see that there's something wrong with the data.
Tina;...
She glances at the computers with a different type of view. She then noticed how these computers did not have a subtle texture of code flowing. They were plain old computers, as real as she was.
Tina: These computers were brought from my world...
Terriermon: Huh?
(Clap)
Tina/Hack/Terriermon:!?
(Clap)
(Clap)
They turn to see Alt leaning against the door.
Alt: Good eye.
Hackmon: I won't give you the chance to summon anything this time!!
Rushing over to Alt, Hackmon leaps to attack, but the masked stranger simply catches the Rookie level knight by the neck, effortlessly.
Alt: My summons are a mercy.
(Shatter)
Throwing Hackmon out of the tower, Alt approches Tina.
Tina:!?
Alt: You'll speed up the process immensely.
Terriermon: Halt-OOF!?
He kicks Terriermon across the room. Tina raises her fists, ready to fight. Before she could throw a punch, Alt removes his mask. His cloths glitch into something different and his hair falls.
Behind the mask was Draco who immediately collapsed to the floor.
Tina: Draco...?
Draco: Ugh... What...what happened...?
Tina: Huh? You're Alt?
Draco: Who?
Tina looks at the mask, the dark code within it made her back away. But it was useless.
(Wooosh)
Tina:!!?
The mask took flight and slammed itself against her face. Tina's cloths glitched into Alt's clothing. Her hair took on Alt's style and color, before her skin turned pale white.
Terriermon: T-Tina?
Tina: Hmph. It's Alt.
Alt: Heheh... Oh, her eyes are just what I needed!
(Within Tina's Mind....)
(Bzzzz bzzzzzzz)
Tina: Hm?
On Earth, Tina was at school. Enjoying her recess outside on a bench with her laptop. She was busy researching artificial intelligences when she noticed a buzzing behind her. A young man behind her was pacing back and forth with his phone. From the goggles on his head, she knew he was the new kid in school who had made himself a reputation as a country bumpkin who excelled in sports but had no idea how to use basic technology..
Tina: Something wrong, dude?
Sunny: Hm? O-Oh it's nothing.... Just trying to figure out why my phone keeps buzzing.
Tina: Want me to take a look?
Sunny: Sure...
He hands her his phone.
Tina: Hmmm... Oh, you're just getting texts.
Sunny: I am?
Tina: Yeah... See...
She goes on to explain text to Sunny. The two end up chatting about other topics and quickly become friends, especially when the two find similar interests in books.
Tina:(chuckles) You're pretty cool.
Sunny: Uhm...(Smiles) Thanks! You too. Would you like to be friends?
Tina; Heh... Sure thing. And there's no need to be shy.
Sunny: Sorry, I can't help it... You're just a really cool person.
Tina: Cool? Me?
Tina: Yeah right....
"I'm just a loser like everyone else..."
Blinking, Tina finds herself behind a computer, clacking away at the keyboard.
Teacher: Tina!
Tina: Huh?
Teacher: Do you have an preference for your project partner?
Tina:(looks around)
Luna:(on laptop)
Tina: Luna, was it? Yeah, I'll take her.
Luna/Everyone:?
(Later....)
The two sat silently on their laptops, working on their project.
Luna:....
Tina:....
Luna; Why me?
Tina: Why'd you say yes if you have a problem with it?
Luna: I asked first.
Tina;....
Tina: I liked your style.
Luna:!!
Luna: M-My... Style...?
Tina: Yeah. If you weren't good at programming, I would have at least had good eye candy. But I luckily hit the jackpot with you!
Tina: You're as good as me.
Luna:....(Hides face) Thanks....
Tina: This project stinks.... You wanna make something completely different?
Luna: Like what?
Tina: Screw making a chatbot. I've always wanted to make program that can adapt other programs to unintended computers.
Luna; Like Running windows on a Apple computer?
Tina:(smiles) Yeah.
Luna; Why?
Tina: Because if we put it only, it'll mess with a bunch of big wigs.
Luna: We could get sued.
Tina;(smiles) It'll make for dinner a good story.
Luna:(smiles) You're weird.
"I am... And that's why it's hard to make friends."
(Digital world)
Tina: Huh?
Surrounded by fire and destruction, Tina stood in front of an injured Hackmon with the Alt mask on the ground in between them.
Tina; Wh... What happened?
"The plan has been put ahead of schedule.... Hahaha!"
TO BE CONTINUED.....
