//------------------------------// // Worldwide Computer Virus // Story: Equestria Ninja Girls Going Digital // by WarriorofFaith18 //------------------------------// Present Day…. It was a sunny day in New York. On the rooftops, The Ninja Turtles, their allies, Zach, Caitlyn, Rainbooms, Starlight, CMCs, Bebop, and Rocksteady were skateboarding, biking, scootering, or in Rocksteady’s case, running. They were all having fun while being careful not to be seen or fall off. “Yeehaw!” Applejack cried as she jumped across a couple buildings on her bike. “Whee!” Pinkie cheered as she used her kurisama chain to swing over. “Goongala!” Casey grinded on a rail on his bike. “Booyakasha!” Mikey skateboarded on a high rise of a construction building. “Heehee!” Bebop chimed while skating on his light trends. “Rock and Roll!” Raph did a 360 jump on his skateboard. “Awesome!” Rainbow hollered as she jumped over a trash can on her roller blades. After a couple hours of riding and showing off moves, the group stopped on top of a building for a breather. “Whew! What a run!” Twilight grinned as she took off her helmet. “Da! Perfect day for the stretching and the running.” Rocksteady agreed as he stretched. “At least nobody saw us.” Leo pointed out. Applebloom turned to Applejack. “Thanks for letting us come with you guys to New York.” “Well, Applebloom, we were going to visit the guys while you were on your class trip since Starlight Glimmer had the weekend off from the School of Friendship.” The cowgirl admitted. “When Sweetie Belle told me your trip was canceled by an emergency, we all thought you could come along and not feel left out.” Rarity added. “Plus, we could use this time to continue your ninja training.” Leo grinned as the three smiled. “So where were you guys gonna go?” Casey curiously asked. “An island called Griffin Rock.” Scootaloo recalled. “Ms. Cheerilee said it was due to an unknown emergency and cancelling was the best precaution.” Sweetie Belle sighed. “You know I once read that they had the best rescue team there.” Caitlyn admitted. “Maybe you’ll get another chance someday.” Mikey smiled. Just then Caitlyn stood up. “Hmm. That’s odd?” “What’s up, Caitlyn?” April asked. “There’s something preventing me from going online on my phone.” “Same with my phone.” Twilight noticed. “And I was about to beat my old score on Squirrel Stack.” Spike grumbled from her bag. Donnie pulled out his T-Phone. “Hmm. The T-Phones still work. But there is some sort of electrical disturbance causing these technical difficulties.” “Like some sort of virus?” Sunset raised a brow. “Wait.” Raph spoke up. “You guys remember what happened the last time we had these tech problems?” “Yeah. A giant portal opened up and that giant beetle came through!” Rainbow recalled. “Think his name was Kuwagamon if I remember right.” Keno pondered. Karai looked around. “I don’t see any portals, do you?” Pinkie began to pop in random. “Nope. Nope. Nope.” Suddenly, she was on top of the Time Square Building as her friends heard her from a distance. “NO PORTAL HERE!” After she popped back by them, Fluttershy asked, “What do we do now?” “If we’re dealing with another Digimon encounter, We better head back to the lair.” Donnie suggested. “Can we grab some Antonio’s on the way? I think better on a full stomach.” Mikey smiled. “It should be on the way back.” Keno recalled as they started to head back. They were halfway there when Leo’s T-Phone went off. “Everyone hold up!” everyone stopped as he checked it. “It’s Bishop! Let’s go over there.” He pointed to a nearby alley. When they all got there, Leo answered. “What’s up, Bishop?” “Leonardo! I need you and your friends to return to you lair right away. Queen wants to talk to you in Dimension X. It’s urgent that you imply!” The Utrom spoke through the phone. “We’re on our way!” Leo assured as a portal opened next to the group. “A portal should have opened up next to you. It should take you back to your home.” Bishop instructed. “C’mon guys!” Leo said as they all hurried through the portal. Sure enough, the portal did take them to the Turtles’ lair. As they all dropped off their skateboards, bikes, skates, and gear, They all saw Bishop standing next to another portal. “Rainbooms. It is good to see you again. And fortunate you’re here. We could use your help.” Bishop nodded. “Always happy to help.” Sunset smiled as they all gathered supplies. Donnie even grabbed his portal tracker. As they hurried to the portal, Bishop held up his hand with devices in it. “Everyone grab a breathing collar as you enter the portal!” he instructed and everyone obeyed as they hurried through the portal with Bishop right behind them. -------- In Dimension X, In the Utrom council chamber, Rook was working hard and quickly as she mashed buttons at a fast pace. Queen walked up to the panel. “How goes your process, Rook?” she asked. Without turning around, Rook answered her. “I’m tracking this mysterious virus steadily. I should pinpoint the source in about ten earth minutes. Hopefully, when Professor Honeycutt gets here, it’ll be quicker.” “Good. Bishop and Pawn should be back with our requested help soon.” Just then, a portal opened up. Queen looked to see the Ninjas, Rainbooms, Bebop, Rocksteady, Zach, Caitlyn, Starlight, and CMCs emerging all wearing their inhibitor collars with Bishop right behind them. Queen smiled. “Ninjas. Rainbooms. Welcome.” She then turned to the newcomers. “And you two must be Zach and Caitlyn. It is a pleasure to meet you both. Bishop told me about you.” “It is a pleasure to meet you too, Queen of the Utroms.” Caitlyn greeted. “If you’re okay with the Turtles, you’re okay with us.” Zach smiled. “The feeling’s mutual.” “Little help, Professor?” Rook called. “Of course.” Fugitoid walked up and began helping Rook as Leo asked the obvious question. “What’s going on?” Queen explained. “I’m sure you all have noticed a recent malfunction of Earth technology?” “Yes, we have.” Twilight confirmed. Donnie held up his T phone. “But our T-phones were still functional.” “Probably from when you upgraded with help from your friend Andromon. We had recently noticed this new computer virus and have been working on finding the source. It appears to be coming from another dimension. We were hoping you could help us out.” “You bet.” Leo nodded. “Same goes for us.” Sunset said. “The Bebop and The Rocksteady are at your service as well.” Rocksteady assured. “To the bitter end. Hee Hee!” Bebop added. "Count me in." Starlight spoke. “We’ll help too!” Applebloom spoke for her and her friends. Fluttershy noticed someone was missing. “Um. Where’s Pawn?” “He is getting some other acquaintances to help as well.” Bishop answered just before another portal opened with four new figures emerging from it. “Hello. Pawn had to get another guy, so he sent us here and- oh!” It turned out the four figures were Shine Boy, Gamer, Love Shine, and Shine Girl- Team Shine. “Shine Boy!” Pinkie cheered. “Hey guys! Long time no see!” Shine Boy greeted as the groups greeted Team Shine. “It is great to see you guys again!” Gamer added as he embraced Karai. “We haven’t seen you guys since Christmas at the Shroom Lodge.” Love Shine smiled as he locked arms with Rocksteady. “For sure.” Shine Girl agreed as she hugged Fluttershy and petted Spike. “Too bad our reunion isn’t under better circumstances.” Leo spoke up. Shine Boy knew what the lead turtle meant and looked serious. “We know. There’s some sort of magnetic virus going around that’s messing everything technical up in Columbus.” “Same in New York. And everywhere else.” Sunset concurred. “I have developed technology with protection from hackers and every known virus. But this is a whole new ball game here.” Gamer then took out his T-phone. “Good thing we had the T-phones you gave us, Donnie. As well as the upgrades Andromon gave them.” “Yeah. Hopefully, we take it out on the source.” Donnie hoped. Just then, the portal opened up again and the group looked to see Pawn stomped out, looking very upset. “I have neva been insulted in my entire life!” he huffed before politely turning to the group. “Bonjour, Ninjas and Rainbooms.” The group then saw another figure stepped from the portal. It was Night Shine with a bag of tacos. “Who knew Utrom had short tempers.” He mumbled as he bit a taco. “Oh no. not him again.” Raph groaned. “Nice to see you too, Raph.” Shine Boy walked up to Night Shine and turned to the newcomers. “Guys, this is my other brother, Luke.” Rocksteady walked up to the said guy. “It been long time, Night Shine.” Night Shine just nodded slyly. “How’s it been, Steranko?” “You know each other?” Karai asked. “We were business partners a while back.” Rocksteady squinted. “I ran errands for my client whose an old college of him.” Night Shine grinned. “Heard you and Anton here had some….changes.” “Da. We are The Bebop and Rocksteady now. We good guys now.” “Neat.” Night Shine looked at Bebop. “Still wearing that techsuit, Zecky?” “Yeah! I still got the moves, baby! Woohoo!” Bebop posed. “Still the showoff.” Night Shine then turned to the CMCs. “And who are you three?” “We’re the Canterlot Movie Club! Ninja Trainees! I’m AppleBloom.” “I’m Sweetie Belle.” “And I’m Scootaloo.” “Good for you three.” Night Shine shrugged. “Keep outta my way and we’ll get along smoothly.” “Thanks. I think.” Applebloom grinned confused. Starlight decided to introduce herself. “I’m Starlight Glimmer. I’m from Equestria I’m sure you’ve heard about it?” Night Shine nodded. “Yep. How’s it hanging?” “And Done!” Everyone looked over to Rook and Fugitoid at the control panel. “We found the source of the virus and…. Oh!” Rook gasped at the coordinates and turned to Bishop. “Bishop. You might want to take a look at these coordinates.” Bishop walked over and looked at the screen and showed a look of surprise. “It can’t be.” “Someplace you know?” Casey raised a brow. “It appears that the virus is coming from… The Digital World.” Everyone, except Starlight, Bebop, Rocksteady, Zach, Caitlyn, and the CMCs gasped hearing Bishop’s statement. There was a small silence before Night Shine munched on another taco. Bebop then spoke up. “The what now?” “It’s best to brief you guys.” Leo said. Then they all sat down as the Ninjas and Rainbooms told them about their adventure with a group of kids called the Digidestined and their friends the Digimon and how they stopped Shine Boy’s enemies, Ripley and Lewej, as well as Baxter Stockman and a revived Devimon. After explaining, the eight were amazed. “A world full of digital monsters?” Applebloom jaw dropped. “Sounds cool.” Scootaloo awed. “And these Digidestined can make them bigger?” Sweetie Belle gushed. “They call it digivolve. And they only do that with their partner Digimon.” Donnie specified. “If my friends aren’t mutants, I’d say this sounds like a video game.” Caitlyn admitted. “Or a rad TV show.” Zach added. “And while it does sound cool, there are Digimon who are dangerous. Like Devimon was.” April warned. “Ha! No monster of Digital can stop the Bebop and Rocksteady!” Rocksteady snorted. “And that Andromon you guys keep mentioning is from this place?” Bebop recalled. “Yep.” Mikey confirmed. “Amazing!” Starlight awed. “Yep. And hopefully when we stop this virus, we can introduce you to Davis and the others.” Shine Boy suggested. “Then we better get going if we want to stop this virus.” Twilight stated. Caitlyn raised her hand. “I’m afraid Zach and I are gonna have to sit this one out. I don’t think I’m ready for dimensional travel.” “Yeah, she’s right. Besides, we should check in with Buffy and the others.” Zach sighed. “Probably a good idea. We need someone to monitor Earth and let the Mutanimals know what’s going on.” Leo nodded. Queen turned to Pawn. “Pawn, take them back to New York.” “Mei Wii, Your highness.” Pawn bowed before opening a portal. As they followed the French Utrom back home, Caitlyn turned to her friends. “Good luck.” “Go get’em, guys.” Zach added. After they left, Rook opened another portal. “This way, everyone.” She lead the heroes in with Bishop right behind them. -------- Soon, the group was in a familiar hallway. “You can take off your inhibitor collars now. You won’t need them here.” Rook assured. As they took their collars off, the group looked around in awe as the Turtles, April, and Casey felt nostalgic. “Is this what I think it is?” Mikey gasped. “This is that hallway of portals the Kraang had.” April recalled. “Yeah! Back when we dealt with the Kraang worm.” Donnie added. “I remember hearing about this from Tiger Claw when he survived the worm.” Karai recollected. “Wow.” Whispered Sunset. Bishop nodded and explained. “After The Triceraton Invasion, and the Kraang were off planet, The Utrom were able to gain possession of these portals.” “We use them to keep constant surveillance for any remaining Kraang activity between dimensions.” Rook continued. Applebloom walked up to a portal showing a dimension that looked like an aquarium. “This is like visiting an aquarium!” “Sort of.” Sweetie Belle agreed. “Impressive.” Gamer awed. “Trippy.” Bebop whispered. “Hey guys! Look!” Everyone walked up to where Scootaloo stood and saw a portal that showed their serious taller counterparts. “Hey! It’s our taller selves! Hi guys!” Mikey waved, even though they didn’t answer him. “Those guys look serious.” Shine Girl noticed. “So those are Turtles are smarter and taller than smaller turtles?” Rocksteady asked as he pointed to the portal on the right which showed the two-dimensional turtles eating pizza. “Pretty much.” Rainbow confirmed. Just then, Pinkie spoke up. “Hey look! I found Moo Mesa!” she pointed to a portal where Montana Moo and his buddies were riding on their horses. “Here’s Gotham!” Casey found the portal where it showed Batman looking down at his city on top of a gargoyle. Twilight was amazed. “The multiverse in one hallway. Wow.” Shine Boy saw the portal with his friends the Swat Kats flying in their plane over MegaKat City before he spoke. “Had the Kraang known of these dimensions?” “We’re not certain, Shine Boy. But after The Kraang tried to invade Gotham, we had to take precautions.” Rook described. “Even when The Turtles and Rainbooms discovered Boxilio in Moo Mesa, we look through the portals to prevent another invasion. Even other dimensions you may not have visited.” As Bishop explained, Night Shine took out his last taco, crumbled up his bag, and threw it in another portal. When he walked a couple steps away, out from the portal was the head of a giant cockroach. He turned to see on the roach was a humanoid brown dog wearing a grey suit and fedora and a small aggressive rabbit. Night Shine raised a brow as the bunny saw him and waved before the roach went back in the portal, taking the two with it. The anti-hero just shrugged and bit his taco as he went back to the group. Before long, Rook found the portal she needed. “Here we are.” She then turned to the group. “This portal will lead you to The Digital World.” “I have informed Gennai and he’ll contact the Digidestined and they’ll meet up with you.” Bishop instructed. “Thanks, Bishop.” Leo smiled before he turned to the group. “Okay, guys! Every second counts! The sooner we stop this virus, the sooner we save the world.” Applejack noticed Applebloom looking a little down. “You okay Applebloom?” “Yeah. Just a little nervous.” “We both are, sugarcube. We’ll get through this together.” Applejack promised as she held her sister’s hand. “Ready, Squirt?” Rainbow checked with Scootaloo. “Ready as I’ll ever be.” Scootaloo smiled. “That’s the spirit!” Rainbow cheered. Rarity looked towards Sweetie Belle. “You alright, Sweetie?” “I’ll be fine.” “I’m sure we’ll have time for fun after we save the world. Remember your training and you’ll be fine.” Rarity smiled. “Everyone ready?” After everyone confirmed Sunset’s question, Shine Boy then spoke up. “Then let’s save the world!” “Good luck, my friends.” Bishop said as they all entered the portal into the digital world. “We’re all counting on you.” Rook added. -------- Meanwhile, a guy was sitting in front of a computer typing a bit before turning from his chair. “You ready, Buddy?” From the shadows was a creature a round head, long arms, and tentacles for legs. It nodded in response. “Let’s go!” the guy held up a small device to the computer light and in a blinding light, he and the creature disappeared. To be Continued
