Nextgen Kids: Legend of the Nine Newborn

Operation: AINCRAD, Level 18: Data Thirteen

Just got back from Uncle Mike's funeral. Lol that preacher certainly liked to fake us out. Either way, it was nice to take a drive out to the country.

Bolypius sensed the presence of the entity on the 100th floor. She, Kayaba, and Fake Haneesh forsook their Boss Rush and returned. The Ruby Palace was once more highlighted by beacons under the night sky... but now, an aurora borealis flowed along the heavens. "That affect wasn't programmed for this floor..." Kayaba said, focusing on the source of light that was atop the palace.

Miko's eyes flashed into a "?" and "!" respectively. She seemed to recognize the red-armored entity above the spiral palace. His distorted voice traveled the great distance to their ears. "Bolypius... it's been eons. This is quite a world you've made. Impressive..."

"Impossible!" Kayaba gasped. "God Deoxys?!"

"What are you doing here... Dad?!"

"Wait, what?!" Haneesh jumped. "THAT thing is your dad?!"

"I was summoned from my rest to confront a most terrific threat. Bolypius... I cannot allow you to enter reality. It will have severe ramifications on the universe should that Chaos Chi escape this world."

"But I can control it now! President Kayaba gave me this cool new body. I've made friends and fought wars and everything. I'm way stronger than I ever was as a virtual nothing!"

"It was not you who lived those things, it was the mortal you are possessing."

"So, what? We're the same person. It's not like YOU ever gave me a body. You never gave me a chance! You just locked me in that computer Cube and threw me away."

"I gave you a safe, secluded space in which to better control your power. But even if you could, such power is dangerous in the physical world. It was for the good of the universe that you be confined to Cyberspace."

"But even then, you failed." Kayaba stated. "My ancestor discovered the potential of Bolypius... and created an entire planet! You're afraid, Deoxys, that Bolypius can surpass you. That WE can surpass you!"

"Yeah, so why don't you back off, has-been god?! This is my world! You ain't got no power here!"

"Indeed... I can do nothing to alter this reality of yours. And I cannot free the mortals you've trapped, even if I wanted to. However, I have added my own input to this game. You won't mind some extra challenge, would you?"

Before their eyes, 13 entities surrounded them. They were all flickering with data and bore very distinct, menacing designs. One was a jester with a monochrome face, one was a dark-green pirate with an octopus face, another seemed to be a short, blonde boy in a dark robe. There was a giant, yellow woman with a diamond chest and a large, muscular, purple-skinned alien with gold and black armor.

Boly's eyes shrank in terror as she sensed their Power Levels. "Who the heck are these guys...?!"

"The Data Thirteen are powerful replicas of the greatest threats in the Multiverse. Though they lack heart, a conscience, and free will, they should be a perfect match for you."

Miko's digital blood boiled with anger at the god, along with anxiety before the powerful foes. "Gah... will, you, just, PISS OFF ALREADY?!"

"Let me assist you, My Lady!" Kayaba declared, lightsaber drawn.

"Yeah, Miko!" Haneesh extracted his scissors confidently. "We'll cut them down to—YOW!" A laser blasted him away.

"Huh?!" The two whipped at the laser's source.
