The group started heading for the castle.
"I hope that this castle is the reason why we're here." Diamond Tiara said. "The sooner we get things over with, the sooner I can go back home." Diamond Tiara said.
"R-right. Miss Cheerilee is probably going to be looking for us soon." Apple Bloom said.
"It was like an hour until roll call when we left. If we hurry, we can probably just barely make it." Sweetie Belle said. The group soon saw Button Mash talking with some black reptile creature.
"...Wow. To think this used to be like that." Button Mash said. "Oh hey Sweetie." Button said once he noticed Sweetie Belle.
"Button Mash? What are you doing here?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Don't know. I was playing Digimon World Cyber Sluth: Complete Edition for the Pony Switch, when I suddenly was sucked in through my TV, found this strange device on my foreleg..." Button Mash motioned to a digivice on his leg that matched his color scheme. "...And found this castle. Then I found this Dark Veemon patrolling the outside of the place." He explained.
"Sup? Friend of yours?" The Dark Veemon asked.
"Yeah. You could say that." Sweetie Belle said. "So what is this castle?" She added.
"This castle was built by varous digimon. It's where those that are employed by the castle's owner live." Button Mash said. "The castle's owner is named Mistress Rose. Strange name, but whatever." He added.
"...Girls. Do you know what this means?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Oh dear..." Diamond Tiara said.
"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS CASTLE RAIDERS YEAH!" The three CMC members exclaimed.
"Heh. Count me in." Rumble said.
"Let's go Diamond Tiara. Not every day we get to raid a castle." Silver Spoon said.
"...Well I suppose I might as well help." Diamond Tiara said.
The group started heading inside.
"...Thank that was wise just letting them pass?" Button Mash asked.
"Heh. They'll find out the hard way they aren't about to meet a Villianess." The Dark Veemon said.
"I should follow them, just in case." Button Mash said.
The group soon discovered an Elevator. "Really? An elevator?" Apple Bloom asked.
"I'm not complaining. Up we go." Scootaloo said, pushing the top floor button. The elevator ride was quick and easy. "...Well this is anticlimatic." She added before they got out of the elevator and found a purple flying pig creature.
"That's a Tsukaimon." Sweetie Belle recognized.
"Hmm?" The Tsukaimon looked up from the book he was reading. "Seriously? Whose the wise guy who left the elevator unguarded? AGAIN?" The Tsukaimon said.
"Your male. Not Mistress Rose." Rumble noted.
"True. But I am her second in command. You can call me Tex." The Tsukaimon said and put down the book. "And you have come at a bad time. If you want a meeting with the Mistress, best to schedule it." He said.
"We're here to take her down." Apple Bloom said.
"...You must be joking. Ugh...I have enough problems today as it is." Tex said.
"...Karen. Totally a Karen." Diamond Tiara said.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A KAREN, BUSTER?!" Tex exclaimed.
"YOU, YOU FLYING PIG YOU!" Diamond Tiara said. Then she blinked as she realized Tex was flying. "...Wait..." Diamond Tiara said. "YOU CAN FLY?!" She asked shock.
"And so it begins." Sweetie Belle said.
"Must be your first time seeing a Tsukaimon or a Patamon. Yeah, the phrase 'when pigs fly' doesn't really work in the digital world when there are actual flying pigs." Tex said.
"...Well check this out Scootaloo..." Diamond Tiara started.
"Don't. Even." Scootaloo warned, which made Diamond Tiara cower a bit.
"...Heh. I like that kid." Tex said.
"What's with all the ruckus?" A female voice said. A female white bipedal cat entered the room. "I'm trying to take a nice warm bath." She added.
"Are you Mistress Rose, Gatomon?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"...Ugh. Why does everyone in this area still call me that?" The cat said.
"...Wait what?" Silver Spoon asked.
The Gatomon then went over to the throne and sat in it. "I manage to bring order and safety to this area of the Digital World, and suddenly every mon in it decided to affectionately call me 'Mistress' Rose." She said.
"I still say you should just accept that Digimon are still going to do that." Tex said.
"So, your not some evil dictator that took over this place by force?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Phew made it." Button Mash said from behind them. "So, your not fighting. That's a good sign. Didn't want you to attack the very person who basically created an orginzation for defeating bandits and outlaws. As well as protecting digimon." Button Mash said. "See, this area of the Digital World doesn't have a single Tamer in it." He added.
"What's a tamer?" Apple Bloom asked.
"You mean there are no humans." Sweetie Belle said. "That's what tamers were in the video games." She added.
"That's right. This area is not moderated by a Tamer Union branch. So I had to pick this area up from ruination. This castle serves as a symbol of peace." Rose said.
"...But if that's the case, why did we get zapped here by these Digivices?" Scootaloo asked.
"...Yeah. And my game too." Button Mash said.
"...Wait. I just noticed: All seven of you have Digivices. And if that's the case, it means something evil is stiring..." Tex said.
"That's true. The only time groups have ever been teleported to the digital world is when there's a great and dangerous threat to it." Rose said. Suddenly there was a huge earthquake. "THIS ISN'T A NORMAL EARTHQUAKE EITHER!"
Soon, the Dark Veemon from before was carrying a plant like creature with a design like a cactus. "Whoa, what happened to the cactus?" Silver Spoon asked.
"M-mistress Rose...he's...he's still alive...I don't know how...but he's still alive..." The catctus creature said.
"Who, whose still alive Pala?" Rose asked.
"...Malafor..." Pala said before fainting. There was an obvious poison burn on her leaf.
