Fiction

Digimon Liberator (web novel)

Suzune is part of the De-bug team for Digimon Liberator, helping to deal with any internal issues that arise within the game.

Suzune and Frigimon travel through the Emerald Coast, with Suzune riding on Frigimon's shoulder. As they travel, they discuss Suzune's home life and how spoiled she acts. They go over their mission — to hunt down a rogue NPC that another player had recently fought against. This specific one was actually a wild Digimon that had taken over the NPC's body, causing the issue in the first place. Frigimon doubts their chances to find their target, though Suzune says they should be fine as recent eyewitness reports place it in this area and that wild Digimon who possess NPCs can survive a lot longer than other wild Digimon. After a short search they find their target, Bulucomon, hiding in the dense vegetation. Suzune gets out a blank card and captures it, turning Bulucomon into a trading card. Before she can transfer it to the Garden, she hears a scream. Turning to the source of the scream, she is confronted Reina Oumi and her DemiDevimon who chastise her for capturing Bulucomon before they could. Reina complains that a casual like her doesn't enjoy the game as much as she does, though quickly changes to thinking Suzune is cool when DemiDevimon makes up a story about how she is probably a hard working office lady just looking for a break from life by playing the game. Since the quest for Bulucomon wasn't public, they figure Suzune was here by coincidence and try offer her a deal though Suzune is more interested in learning who gave Reina the Bulucomon capture quest. Reina shows her blank card and quest information, showing that she would receive a large amount of Alt-Art chips if she succeeded in the mission. Still wanting to complete it, she offers half the reward to Suzune if she gives up Bulucomon — though rather than accept this deal — Suzune challenges Rein to a duel. If Reina wins, she gets the Bulucomon card. If Suzune wins, Reina has to drink tea with her. DEBUG.4-1 Suzune Kazuki The stipulation confuses Reina, though Suzune just says she wants to spend time with Reina. Reina accepts, and jokes about how Suzune wont get to spend that time with her as she will win.

Just before the duel begins, Frigimon tells Suzune that it has talked to the recently captured Bulucomon and that it wanted to help her in the duel. She figures this was Bulucomon testing her, with Frigimon already having modified her deck to include Bulucomon as it figured she would agree to its request.

Suzune wins the duel, and learns from Reina how she had gotten the quest to capture Bulucomon. Reina had gotten a message with the quest, and had thought it came from the admin team due to how hefty the reward was. As thanks for helping her, and for suddenly being nice to her, Suzune gives Reina a copy of EX8-066 and upon realizing who Suzune was freaks out as she was now aware she was talking to one of the game's admins (though Suzune is part of the debug team, rather than being an admin herself). As Reina asks about the quest that supposedly came from the admin team, Suzune shushes her and tells her to keep the events a secret between the two of them.

Job done, Suzune and Frigimon leaves upon returning talks to follow debug team member Yuuki. Suzune asks if Cool Boy was around so that she could report to a GM, with Yuuki pointing to him at the other side of the room as he's mid conversation with Unchained. Yuuki asks if she should get Cool Boy for her, though Suzune decides against it as they were clearly too busy. She tells Yuuki to tell no one about what she just told her with Yuuki agreeing and then leaving to go to class. Frigimon chastises Suzune for revealing said information to Yuuki, with Suzune claiming she had no choice in the matter and had to tell her as someone being able to send a fake admin message was a big deal. Frigimon asks if Suzune thinks there's a traitor and that's why she doesn't want to tell the GMs, with Suzune confirming that that's what her theory was. Seeing Suzune was worried about potential traitors, Frigimon tells its partner it will always be by her side. DEBUG.4-2 GODDESS FROM THE ICE AGE

Suzune greeted Shoto Kazama after he was inducted into the debug team, though she didn't get to do it long as she felt she had to leave when Bulucomon started being hostile to Pteromon (since Shoto/Pteromon had defeated Frozen Knight — the NPC Bulucomon had previously been possessing). DEBUG.6-1 OASIS

Yuuki and Impmon see a wild Wormmon (and didn't know what species it was) whilst in the Obsidian Desert, and leave to tell the others. This causes a widespread search of the Desert with multiple debug team members sent out to find it. Suzune goes with Ryutaro. They're unable to find it, though do see other debug members duelling NPCs so figure something must've been going on in the desert. The duo eventually come across Yuuki and Winr, with Ryutaro praising the duo for their work. Stopping for a break and a chat, they learn Yuuki and Winr hadn't found the Digimon either. Not wanting to doubt Yuuki and Impmon, Suzune says that with no one having been able to find the wild Digimon — it must've already died. Yuuki becomes visibly sad, though quickly puts on a fake smile to try and hide the pain. With the mission "complete", Ryutaro, Suzune, and their partners leave. DEBUG.6-1 OASIS

One day, a large amount of black holes open up in Jewel. Unchained tells Cool Boy that they predicted said issue could cause LACUNA to be destroyed. The admins log out all regular players — though allow staff and debug team members to remain logged in. Suzune was logged in at the time, with the admins sending a notification for logged in debug members to go to the Garden. Once there, they were all told to go look for NPC Sam the Clown as it was controlling the Digimon inside the black holes. RAID ON THE WORLD (Part 1)

With no one able to find him despite searching the entire City, Arisa Kinosaki eventually figures that they couldn't find the NPC as the wild Digimon possessing him must've digivolved to BlackImperialdramon and as such was no longer an NPC. Arisa texts everyone her theory, with this putting a stop to the search, the entire group now focused on taking down the fifty BlackImperialdramon. RAID ON THE WORLD (Part 2)

A few weeks after the BlackImperialdramon rampage is dealt with, Yao Qinglan requests Suzune, Ryutaro, Winr, Yuuki, and Altea meet her in Avalon. She tells them that Cool Boy had been trapped inside Cross Connectia and that she was giving them a special mission to save him. She also tells them that they had since learned that Zenith's data that had gotten corrupted during the BlackImperialdramon incident had also ended up in Cross Connectia. Ryutaro says that he had heard about Zenith's corrupted data, but had also heard Zenith himself was fine — with Yao saying that Zenith had actually gone missing shortly after the incident. Map data damaged by the Imperialdramon had also ended up in the game as well. Suzune brings up how the "Alice glitch" that traps players within virtual worlds had been dealt with more than a decade before, and asks Yao where Cool Boy's real body was — with Suzune pressing her more and more as Yao doesn't answer. Yuuki cuts Suzune off and says that the group will just go to Cross Connectia to save Cool Boy and Zenith's data, with Winr's shocked reaction that Yuuki knows the term "killing two birds with one stone" turning the mood from serious to silly. With the mood change calming Yao down, she apologizes to Suzune and says she will tell her soon, though Suzune says she should be the one apologizing and that she was just worried about the possibility that the Alice glitch had returned. The group accept the mission, with Yao giving them all access to Cross Connectia. The group quickly log into the game, though Yuuki winds up cancelling her transfer in the middle of it causing the other four to arrive without her. THE SKY FALL (Part 2)

Shortly after arriving, Ryutaro loudly reminisces about the days he spent with Tyrannomon on File Island, whilst Suzune Kazuki tells everyone she had just been told Yao that time passes differently in this world compared to LACUNA. 30 minutes there is equal to around 12 hours inside Cross Connectia. Ryutaro figures out that as they were given a time limit of 4–5 hours, it meant they had 4–5 days to complete their mission — though Suzune says Yao expressed how important rest was as their brains still run on regular time and so will be processing things much faster than they're used to. Winr joins the conversation, and says that their need for rest is why it was having ForgeBeemon create a base. Since ForgeBeemon was skilled at making bases, it makes them one very fast. Since they needed to find Cool Boy and Zenith's data fast, Winr suggests splitting up — which everyone agrees to. Ryutaro points out that they have no idea where to start, and posits that Cool Boy likely knew someone could come for him and as such would have done something for that. Altea shows up and says that's an insightful point, and says that it and Oblivimon hadn't been able to find any traces of the duo during the short time they had spent looking around. Though they worry over the fact Altea hadn't found anything, some of them joke that they would need the help of Yuuki to find them as she was talented at getting lost and so would probably find them in the middle of being lost. As they laugh over this, they hear Oblivimon scream out that everyone needs to get away.

Ryutaro, Winr, and Suzune digivolve their partners to the Ultimate level — who defend their partners from the attacks that were about to hit them. Mistymon reveals itself, and says that they are capable Digimon. Winr recognizes Mistymon from a card he had seen before, and as he says Mistymon's name — Mistymon figures he knew who Mistymon was as they were invading and planning to kill everyone inside Cross Connectia. They try to say that isn't the case, but Mistymon cuts them off and says it knows all about the humans who use trading cards and that it wont allow them to carry out their plan. Altea calls out to his allies, who turn around and notice he had been taken hostage by a large group of Ultimate level Digimon. Betsumon tells Mistymon that their hostage wasn't human — which has Mistymon decide they would keep Altea since he wasn't a human. Just as Ryutaro was about to have MasterTyrannomon digivolve to Mega — Suzune stops him and points out it'd be a bad idea as doing so could result in their Mega Digimon killing the Ultimates and that that would prove them right that they were "invaders wanting to kill everyone". As Mistymon and the others leave with their hostage, Mistymon tells them that they haven't been spared, the "Guardians" would kill them, have them surrounded from all sides, and that humans weren't welcome in Cross Connectia.

Now "alone", the humans and their partners discuss how they were going to deal with the situation. Suzune sends a message to Yuuki about what had happened, and then says they can no longer wait for Yuuki as they now have to deal with the Guardians and free Altea. They realize that Yuuki was in danger as Mistymon and the others now know the human spawn point, though Ryutaro says they can split off at the same time in multiple directions and hope doing so will confuse them and have them forget where the spawn point is. The trio split up, and agree to reconvene should any of them figure out where Cool Boy/Zenith's data are. DEBUG.10 Attack
